Migration without CD: old Macbook Pro for the new Macbook Pro
I'm about to buy a new MacBook Pro and have AA Xl Pro on my 'old' Macbook but no CD and can't find my purchase info. Yikes! How can I do this? Thank you...
You are allowed to have two machines with facilities enabled, then you can leave the original as a backup if you wish. You don't want to think about the migration/transfer anything between machines for Adobe products... they must be installed using installation files. You can download the files at the link below.

You will need your serial number. If you have registered the software when you initially installed then you might find that available in your account Adobe online.

Could someone use the iMac as a monitor with a new MacBook Pro?
We bought a new 13 "MacBook Pro and still have our old iMac monitor. It would be great to use the large size of the old, almost dead iMac screen. Does anyone have this done successfully?
Thank you!
Only some models of iMac (latest) have the ability to be used as a screen for another Mac. This function is called target Display Mode. This document contains more information, including the models of iMac with the ability to target Display Mode.
Use your iMac as a display with the target - Apple Support Display Mode

As the title says.
Did you mean 128 GB of storage instead of memory, because it is very little, too little in my opinion.

My old version of Logic 8 on my new macbook pro installed
I bought logic 8 disk a few years ago, how can I get on my new macbook Pro? (It doesn't have a disk drive) and I'll be able to update via the app store?
8 Pro - Snow Leopard 10.6.8 & LP 8.0.2 (under Mavericks and Yosemite, LP8 has major issues)
I think that SL is the latest operating system? So if your new Mac has an OS newer than that - you can't

My iMac 27 "(2011) so my wife 13 '' MacBook Pro (2011) were recently stolen after our House was robbed. My wife got a new MacBook Pro and I restored it successfully its data (selected "backup restore Time Machine" during the installation of its new MacBook Pro). However, I also got a new 15 "MacBook Pro in lieu of the iMac 27". I have, once again, selected "Restore from Time Machine backup" (selected the iMac as the backup source) when installing my new MacBook Pro. When it was finally over, I told Time Machine to inherit from the backup. Unfortunately, none of the files in the My Documents folder or the photos in my photo library have been restored. Was it a bad idea to try to use the backup of the iMac as a source for the MacBook Pro (both running El Capitan)?
is it possible that your documents are stored on another drive which was not part of the backup plan? or is the HD in the big enough MBP to inherent the old backup.
If you open the time machine with the original backup disc, you should be able to browse the content
If the files are found, you can restore by right-clicking (or CTRL + left mouse)

Why my iTunes library sound randomly cut during playback on my new Macbook Pro and the old Bose speakers?
The speakers connect through a USB port, instead of by means of the mini plug stereo audio output (headphone)?
If it uses the standard audio out Jack, try to plug ordinary headphones instead. The problem goes away or still occur?

About three weeks ago, I bought a new MacBook Pro, disabled Adobe CS 6 on my old MacBook and re-intalled on my new computer portable DVD with success. I used all my Adobe fine until today. Two days ago, I've updated all my creative suite after having received an automatic notification. Photoshop will not launch now (everything else is OK). When the Photoshop window it immediately crashes with the message "adding extensions...." Quick basic routines' but nothing happens and I have to "force stop" window. Advice please?

In addition, if you inadvertently "improved" cs6 in the cc version, you use a trial (unless you have purchased a subscription) which will expire in 30 days.
