Will my Adobe programs migrate to a new computer
My 6 year old iMac has finally bit the dust. It won't start under any circumstances. Fortunately, I use TIme Machine so everything is backed up.
But I am wondering if my Adobe programs, such as PS, Elements & Lightroom will properly migrate to my new computer using Time Machine?
Or will I need to find the original installation disks (recently moved & can't find the PS one, and LR & Elements I loaded online)?
coachgns, I've given this some serious thought.
You would first have to boot off the recovery partition to restore from Time Machine and it would wipe your new OS and everything that came with it, iLife iWorks and so on.
You would be replacing it with older OS software and apps that would probably not play well with the new hardware. I don't want you to have more problems than you need.
For OS 10.8.5, legacy PPC apps are no longer supported.
I've only done full restore to the same hardware. You are doing this to a nice new machine and if there is an Apple Store nearby, get an appointment with them on how to best migrate everything off Time Machine to your new Mac.
As for Adobe products,only the Intel based ones can be reinstalled. Photoshop CS3 and later as an example.

Application Software (example Microsoft Office) does or does not migrate to the new computer
From a software standpoint, when you use data migration Mac to Mac or PC to MAC, why application software, like Microsoft Office or Adobe Photoshop, sometime are able to move (migrate) to the new computer without any issues and sometimes the user must BUY again the software?
Technicians told me that sometimes the Migration Data is capable to migrate the Software Serial Number of the software and sometimes does not.
But, what is the real techincal answer? What happens to the serial number when you migrate?Depends on how the App stores the serial number. Some apps fail when the file that holds the serial number gets moved and must be reinstalled.
None of that requires you to purchase it again. You just have to install it using the key you were provided with the software.
No apps will be migrated from a PC as they will not work with OS X.
Office 2004 will not Migrate as it doesn't work in Mountain Lion. -
How can synchronized local imap folders be migrated to a new computer, without new download from imap server, so that everything is working as before?
I only managed to import synchronized folders (from old computer) to local folders in thunderbird at the new computer. Then I tried to move the messages to the folder of the imap account at the new computer where I temporarily limited the synchronization to one month. When I remove this limit the thunderbird program starts to redownload all the messages again nonetheless.
Since I have a dual boot system (Windows/Linux, thunderbird is installed twice) and have to pay for every megabyte, this is very annoying.Have you considered using a shared profile folder for the dual boot? so the two remain in sync?v It will require a drive both operating systems can access, but most people who dual boot have such. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder_-_Thunderbird
otherwise copy the entire profile, not parts of it. -

You don't transfer it. You just install it to the new computer. You will need the original install media, serial number, and if an upgrade the original serial number.

Installing Adobe Pro X on my new computer
My old computer "died" but the Adobe Pro X could not be transferred to my new computer. I tried to "chat" with Sanjay to figure out how to do this, but the "chat" was not helpful. I do remote work from home for a law firm that is about 1,000 miles away. He told me that the license had to be accessed by the law firm manager in order for it to be reinstalled. Interestingly, the license is under my account with my name and email. The law firm manager provided me with access to her account - the license is not listed under her account. I need to reinstall Adobe Pro X on my new computer - the license has been paid for and I should be able to do this from my account. How can I get this reinstalled on my new computer? Thank you.
Hi amedre,
I have checked your account and the serial number you have is a Volume License.
You can go ahead and download Acrobat 10 Pro from : http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
and use the serial number to activate it on the new computer.
