Use Aperture 3.2.4 license on iMAC on new MacBook Pro Retina

I have Aperture 3.2.4 on an iMAC originally purchased as installed software on the iMAC. I want to use the license from the iMAC on a new MAC Book Pro Retina. How do I install Aperture on the MAC Book Pro with the license key from the iMAC?

Do you still have the installer on your iMac? If not, download the Trial version, if this link still works: if yes, you can unlock it with your serial number:
http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
You can find your serial number in the "About" panel on your iMac: From Aperture's main menu bar:
Aperture > About Aperture

How do I use a NORMAL headset (dual 3.5mm) on my new Macbook pro retina? No usb ports available and headset buddy adapter doesn't work.

Hi Auracles1,
Here's a pretty discussion regarding wireless printing with this device and a Mac.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-networking-and-wireless/HP-Officejet-6500-E 709n-wireless-issue/m-p/258853
I have a similar OfficeJet and it was a multi-step process. (1) Install printer drivers on the machine, (2) Add the printer queue in print & fax, (3) Run the "setup wizard" from the disc for wireless printing.

How can I move the aperture program from my old Mac to my new Macbook Pro?

I have Aperture 3.2 on my old Mac laptop and would like to know how to move it over to my new macbook pro retina laptop. I tried to just move it from my external hard drive, but that didn't work. Can I use the migration assistant to transfer this and only this program to my new laptop?
Thanks,
Shirley

Apple Pro Apps like Aperture really do best if installed from the original media that hey were bought on. Trying to migrate Aperture can lead to a lot of frustrating problems.
The libraries can be copied over just as you would any file but the application itself needs to be installed.
How did you purchase Aperture? If you got it in the Mac App Store then all you need to do is log into the MAS from the new computer using the same Apple ID you used to buy Aperture and download it.
If you bought it on DVD you will need to install from those and then run software update to get to the latest version. Remember if you bought it on DVD you will need the original serial number that was included in the package. Also if this was and upgrade from an earlier version (1 or 2) you will need those serial numbers also.

How to use my time capsule on my new macbook pro retina (time machine error)

Hello all,
I've been using my old mac for a while with my time capsule, but recently I bought the new macbook pro retina and I wanted to use the time capsule as the backup disk on the new one. However, whenever I try to run the backup, a message appears "The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/XXX’s MacBook.sparsebundle” is already in use."
I wanted to override the settings so that the new macbook will use the time capsule for its backup disk instead of the old one, as I will no longer be using it.
I was wondering if anyone had this problem before and if anyone know how I can solve it?
Thank you

You could delete the old backup from your old laptop? If you need to keep it then you need to rename that folder so that your new macbook can creatie its own file in the same name.
Regards,
Ryan

Appears and quickly disappears a new screen overlaying the screen in use, it starts at the bottom of the screen tela.MACbook pro retina.O what could be causing this?

Thanks for the suggestion, the next step was to call Apple, who gave me a claim number, which I discovered you must have to get anything done with them. They refered me to a Apple store or repair center, after some reseach took it to the Computer Store in Mobile, Alabama and they were excellent. They took pictures of the screen with bug submitted it to Apple who denied the claim but they kept kicking it up to the next level and finally Apple agreed to sent new cover. The Computer Store had the cover the next day, they changed it out and now I am bug free. If your in the area of Mobile Alabama you can feel good about getting help from the Computer Store. For the two folks that responded to my note, Thank You, good comments and good advice.

I have new macbook pro retina and is there a web design format can use?

I have new macbook pro retina and is there a web design format can use?

I'm not understanding your question. I think you would use any of the current web design formats. Are you talking about what styles to use? If so see the css standards css1, css2, css3 to see what they can provide and which browsers are most compatible. If you are talking about languages use a current standard like html5, php, C#, visual basic , javascript, etc.
Be more specific about what you are asking.

New Macbook Pro Retina, 30GB of space used in apps? Is it normal?

I just bought a new MacBook PRO Retina 2015 128GB SSD. This is my first MAC. It runs OSX Yosemite 10.10.2. I checked my hard drive, it shows around 30 GB used space in apps. Why is it so? Is it normally?

The OS and all files including applications will take up about 30+ GBs or more.

Transfer some items from iMac to new MacBook Pro

I am buying a new laptop and want to transfer some not all of my files from my iMac to the new MacBook Pro.
When I bought my iMac 2 years ago I just transferred everything from my old Mac to the new one via USB I think.
Again I do not want to transfer everything.
The laptop is a secondary computer to take with us on the road and or my wife can play her games and not try up the main computer.
Thanks in advance,
Greg

Your best bet is to use Setup Assistant when your new Mac first starts up. Transfer your User accounts and some or all of the contents of the home folders (you can't pick and chose individual files, but you can omit some broad categories). See How do I set up a new Mac from my old Mac or its backups? for details. Then you can delete what you don't want.
The reason you should do it that way is, the user accounts on both Macs will then be the same; each account on one Mac will have the same permissions to data for the same account on the other Mac, and other drives as well, such as your backups.

Transfer CS from iMac to new macbook pro

I have a new macbook pro and I want to use that instead of my imac. I need help in trying to trasfer my creative suite from one to the other as I presume there is only one licence per product? Anyway - I bought CS3 on disc but then upgraded to CS5 online. I'm not quite sure how I should attempt to do this. Do I install the CS3 and then try and get the upgrade from there?
Hope I am not being too dumb in asking this. But I am drawing a blank!

I will move this post to the installation forum since you posted in storage and sharing. You willl be better feedback there.

Connecting old imac to new macbook pro

I have a five year old imac that I use for photoshop work. My new macbook pro is so much faster processing big files, I can see the Imac's days are numbered. Can I use the monitor from the imac with the new Macbook? How would I connect the two?
Thanks,

When I bought my new MacBook Pro, the sales person showed me how to do the V-card method that you suggested. I tried it at home, and it worked. I have been worrying for years about the best way to do this, so was very relieved to find such a simple method. David Pogue in the Tiger Missing Manual also mentioned another tip which I used: he said to select all the address entries you want to transfer (in my case it was all of them) and then just drag the whole lot out onto the desktop. A V-card icon appeared that said: "Name of Person plus 344 others". I then copied that to a flash drive and then onto the new computer desktop. I then dragged it into the Address Book window. As you said it was done in a matter of seconds. Thank you so much!

Migrating from iMac to new MacBook Pro

Currently I have a iMac, serial number QP833*ZE5, 2.4 GHz, with Snow Leopard 10.6.2
I will be getting a new MacBook Pro shortly.
What I would like to do is have absolutely everything on the MacBook be a duplicate of what is on my iMac.
And I can do this by simply restoring the MacBook from my stored iMac cloned disk image.
So, my question is "Is this OK?", or are there ANY differences at the System level (any at all) between my iMac 10.6.2 and the new MacBook Pro 10.6.2?
.. or, in any case, would you seriously encourage using Migration Assistant to port from my stored disk image clone? I say "from the stored clone" because this clone is on an external firewire drive which would be connected to the MacBook Pro.
Thanks in advance for answering.

As a rule, it is not a good idea to try to restore from an older Mac's startup volume (or a clone of it) to a newer model. This is because the newer model may require a later version of the OS to support its newer hardware & the result will be a new Mac that can't start up. (See Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than that which came with your Mac for info about this.)
However, from Mac OS X versions (builds) included with Intel-based Macs, it appears that currently at least, a new MacBook Pro should be able to boot from any version of Snow Leopard, so a restore from the iMac running 10.6.2 should be OK.
But keep in mind that Setup Assistant will run the first time you power up your new MBP, & it will offer to run the equivalent of Migration Assistant to copy everything not already installed from another Mac (or a cloned drive of it) to the MBP. Since this will not replace any apps or OS components included on the BMP will older versions from the iMac, but can copy over everything else (except system settings that don't apply & you don't need anyway), it is a good, perhaps even better, option for you.
Besides, you really don't want to duplicate absolutely everything from the iMac -- many of the files on it are just temporary working files, caches, etc. that the MBP will just discard or ignore.

How to export my mailboxes from Imac to new Macbook Pro?

I am getting a new Macbook Pro 13" today (not sure if it will ship with Snow Leopard). How can I just move all of my mailbox contents, and maybe bookmarks from Safari and other account information over from my Imac Time Machine backup. A few months ago I used my Time Machine from the Imac to move everything over to the new portable, including PHotos and all documents, etc. Is there a way of picking and choosing during setup assistance just a few things.
The other option is whether I can simply export the contents of my mailbox into a file--two accounts--over to the new computer? Can I do the same with the contents of Iphoto and ITunes?
Thanks

See the following:
Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac
From the Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
/Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
/Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
/Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
For FireFox:
/Home/Library/Applications Support/FireFox
/Home/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist
Credit goes Macjack for this information.
You can connect the two computers with a FireWire cable and use Target Disk Mode to copy from one machine to the other.

Problems migrating from iMac to new MacBook Pro

I just bought a MacBook Pro and am trying to use MA to migrate stuff from my iMac (Intel, OSX 10.4.11) to my MacBook Pro (Intel, OSX 10.6.3).
Problem is, every time I try ("from" iMac "to" MacBook Pro), my iMac IDs my MacBook Pro and asks for the passcode, I give it, it then asks for the passcode again, I give it again, then it churns away with the message that it's "looking for other computers". On and on and on and gets stuck in this mode.
I'm using ethernet between the two. Tried wireless also. Same issue. Downloaded the Migration & DVD/CD Sharing Update onto the iMac; it's already on the MacBook Pro. Same problem persists.
Any suggestions? (among the ten zillion firewire cables I have, none fits the MacBook Pro, so haven't tried firewire yet).
Thanks.

See:
Mac OS X 10.3, 10.4- Transferring data with Setup Assistant/Migration Assistant FAQ
OS X 10.4- Issues migrating to Mac OS X 10.5 via network connection and Migration Assistant
OS X 10.4- Issues migrating to Mac OS X 10.5 via network connection and Migration Assistant
And, selecting Mac Help from the Finder's Help menu and searching for "migrate" should find additional help.
The 10.5 document may still be useful to you since it specifically deals with the dialog you reported. Obviously it is a known problem if Apple has published a knowledge base article dealing with it.
