I'm new on iMac, been using PC
My wife wants to transfer iTunes to a new Mac, we buy. She advises him to copy the account on an external HDD that I ordered it. The HD is formatted for Mac. All his music is of a CD she downloaded on iTunes. I was advised at an Apple store, only music purchased via iTunes would be available on the new Mac.
How to make this happen?
Moving a library: quick response if you use preferences by default iTunes settings: copy the folder integer iTunes (and to ensure that all of its subfolders and files) intact at the other disk, hold down the option/alt key (shift on Windows) keys to start iTunes and on request to select a library select iTunes Library.itl file in the copied folder.
When it's to a new computer put the iTunes folder copied to the default location of Macintosh HD > users > * user name * > music (or home > music) so you don't even have to start with the down option, iTunes will automatically look for what it y. (Make sure that it is no anything already in the iTunes folder it that you want to keep because you will replace it with the one you are moving). Don't forget to authorize computer in iTunes to your Apple ID if you use it to synchronize with Apple devices or play multimedia DRM protected (e.g., movies).
Some elements used in iTunes related activities are not stored in the iTunes library folder, but in special folders. If you move a library to another computer, you can copy these too:

You can move everything from your Windows PC to your Mac in a single movement, including your iTunes library: on Windows Migration Assistant - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4796 - learn how to use Windows Migration Assistant to migrate files from a Windows PC on a Mac. Extra tip by Ludovic 05/2014 - https://discussions.apple.com/message/28178940#28178940
Note that Windows cannot write to Mac disks to the format without special commercial software. Leave the drive in NTFS format for the transfer of the library. Windows can write in it and Mac can read. If you want to use the drive with the mac in the future, you should consider then reformat.

I have a new iMac and used the disk to install version 6 of photoshop, but I have upgraded to version 12, but its version 6. How can I get version 12? I tried to uninstall, but it does not ask the serial number version 12. Thank you
If you want version 12, then you don't need to install version 6, you must install version 12. If you are really talking about Photoshop Elements, not Photoshop, then the link below, you should get to the download.

I just got a new Mac and all transferred to an older Mac and has been using the application on an old PC for a while so I'm not sure is what is causing my problem. I have bank statements indicating payments of my subscription to Adobe for this product update.
Hi Seth,
First of all, disconnect, then back into creative cloud, using adobe id to pay for your subscription.

If I understand correctly, your ability under the license agreement to install the software

At first everything worked, but now a week later, I get the message that the application manager is missing, and I can't Photoshop and InDesign to start.
