    How can I transfer my old PC to my new PC CS5?

    As directed by your question, I understand that you want to install the Adobe CS5 software on another computer and want to uninstall your 1st computer.

    first of all, I would recommend to disable the software to your computer 1, to disable the launch as any product in the suite: photoshop, illiustrator and go to the Help menu, then select Disable to disable the software in order to disable the software, you must be connected to the internet. (this process is for users of singel user licenses)

    After disabling the software install the software on your count another one with the serial number to activate the software, you need to be connected to the internet.

  • How can I move windows 7 (not OE), to another machine after upgrade to windows 10?

    Otherwise, you will need to purchase a new license of Windows 7.

  • Can I transfer the Win 7 OS to another PC?

    Hello

    I have two PCs, we're on Win 7, the other is on Win XP (Pro).

    Let say after 8 Win is sound, I bought the shop installation kit at the market price, I know if I can install my Win 7 to the old PC using the recovery DVD? There are two BONES are different licenses.

    Thank you

    Low

    Hello

    "Do I know if I can install my Win 7 to the old PC using the recovery DVD?

    DVD recovery implies the preinstalled OEM license.

    Pre-installed Licenses OEM (HP, Acer, etc.) and the Microsoft System Builder OEM licenses are tied to the first machine that they are installed on and channels of license when this machine dies.

    OEM licenses are not transferable.

    If you have purchased your own license for sale retail of Windows and installed yourself, yes you can transfer it to another computer.

    Retail licenses are transferable.

    And if you upgrade a Windows 8 operating system, you cannot use the operating system upgraded to install another anywherer thing, because it is now part of the process of upgrading and licensing.

    See you soon.

  • How can I synchronize an old iPod nano to another mac that it has been implemented on?

    My father has an old iPod nano but it is worried, it may be seeing its last days. It has set up with the original computer no longer works, so he wants to save it on my computer. We share the same account iTunes, but none of his music has never been on my computer since I logged in. also, I had to change the email and our apple ID password because the original is no longer an email existed. I said he could use my old iPod touch (backup restore) that might be more reliable, but I do not know how to back up his iPod nano without erasing any data.

    iTunes synchronization is generally one-way, from computer to iPod.  If the songs were purchased from the iTunes Store, and your ID shared Apple was used to buy, you can download them again (at no cost) from the screen purchase ; on the main screen of the iTunes Store, the link to the screen bought is along the right side of the window.  There is also a command in iTunes to transfer items purchased - menu bar->-> appliances-> transfer purchases of [name of the iPod] file.

    Otherwise, there are methods and third party utilities that can transfer from iPod to computer.  If you do an Internet search on something as 'ipod transfer music', you should get a few useful links, including a CNET article on the subject.

    Once the files of the song on the drive of your Mac, add them to your iTunes library.
