Migrate to the new iMAC opportunity backup.

You just bought a refurbished iMAC running OSX 10.6. My current iMAC runs OS x 10.7. I want to migrate my existing system to an external backup drive. The 10.6 will automatically replace the new 10.7?

If you are migrating using Setup Assistant, it will keep the intact operating system on the new Mac and only migrating applications and data.

  • Dreamweaver CS5.5 no longer works since the migration to the new iMac. How can I re - install?

    I have a subscription Adobe CC for InDesign, but am still ongoing for Photoshop and Dreamweaver CS5. Recently all migrated to a new iMac running Yosemite, and since then, Dreamweaver does more (no problems with Photoshop). See screen shot of the error message. I thought that the simple answer would be to reinstall but can't figure out how. I don't have an installation disc - CS5.5 was a download. But when I log into my account, Adobe, CS5 products are not listed. I vaguely remember my manager has bought a lot of licenses for us user, and I have a note of the serial numbers.Screen Shot 2015-07-10 at 10-07-15, 18.11.39.png

    If you have the info set, you should be able to use the cleanup tool to remove the program all together (migrating from one machine to another rarely ever works), then download the correct version of Adobe, install and enter your registration information to activate...

  • After the migration to the new iMac 10.11.3 - unable to repair permissions on your Photos App library

    I bought a new iMac running El Capitan and migrated from my old iMac running 10.6.8 and opening of the Photos app after migration ended I see the error "failed to repair permissions on your library. Initially, when I open the Photo app, I'm asked to select the library migrated or create a new. I select the library migrated and then see the above error.

    I tried on my new iMac running disk utility, and there is no error reported. "I tried too hold down the command and option keys when opening the Photo app and I go as far as the window pop up prompting me that" you are about to repair of the 'iPhoto Library' library but after selecting the repair, it returns the error "year error occurred while repairing permissions" and citing is the only option given.

    I then tried to go back to my old iMac and did a full rebuild of my photo library using the command and option keys when opening iPhoto App and also ran disk utility. Then I made another backup from time machine fees and moved once more to my new iMac. This has not improved the question, and I see the same mistakes.

    I also tried the iPhoto App 3rd party download manager but it does not allow me to open the application because it returns the error iPhoto Library Manager, must have iPhoto 8.1.2 or later must be installed. Of course when you run 10.11.3. My App Photo conforms to this requirement.

    I am really confused on this issue and would appreciate any help or advice for this problem.

  • migration to the new iMac iMac

    Hi all

    I am looking to buy a new iMac 27 "to replace my iMac 24" aged 8 years.

    I intend to use the "Migration Wizard" (first time) and I would like clarification on a trifle of file transfers.

    First, files such as emails are copied in their entirety?

    Second, I assume that the "Migration Wizard" copy only through the elements still in use? In other words, it is not clone the older drive? I want to leave behind trash of the multitude of old programs, etc. which have been removed over the years and indeed to start with a completely clean Mac except for what's current.

    Thank you very much

    Steve

    When you use Migration Wizard, you can choose what to bring: I suggest you bring your user account (which should bring all your letters, and documents), but do NOT bring the applications and settings.

    In the old days, reinstall the applications was a pain (often searching for old CD case to find serial numbers), but now with many applications from the App store, resettlement is quick and easy (sign in with the same Apple ID and download a copy fresh and up to date).

  • InDesign CS4 crashes on startup after the migration to the new iMac

    Hello

    I recently used Migration Assistant to move the contents of my old iMac running OS X 10.5.8 to my new iMac running OS X 10.7.3.  Unfortunately, whenever I try to launch InDesign CS4, it crashes without giving me an error message. I already could not start Illustrator CS4 on this new iMac and I received this error message:

    "Fatal error - missing component Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Version Cue CS4/customer 4.0.0/VersionCue.framework.

    and I was able to transfer the file Client 4.0.0 on my new iMac and Illustrator CS4 please stand up and running.

    What can I do to get InDesign running on my new iMac?

    You will not be able to download Adobe's CS4. They have downloads of the current version.

    Are you sure? (I'm confused about this and my Adobe Downloads aren't the consumer normal ones so I can't easily check, but I have a number of reasons to be skeptical... certainly old volume licensees can continue to (re) - download old versions.)

  • How to migrate the imac 2007 to the new iMac using the TM backup drive?

    My mid 2007 iMac does start more (gray screen of death) so I have a new iMac on command.

    I expect to use the Migration Wizard when the new machine arrives in a week or two from here.  I'll need to do it from my Time Machine backup disk however.

    The backup TM drive is a TB drive WD MyBook Studio 2 2 (physical hard drives 2 x 1 TB) in a RAID 1 array.  This is the Firewire 800 and it looks like 2 USB as well.

    The new iMac looks like it's fall in love 2 and USB 3.

    So I guess I'll need an adapter of some sort to migrate my stuff to the new iMac maybe?  Can someone advise please?

    Connect the drive via USB. No adapter is required.

  • ITunes problem previous library playing on the new iMac 4K

    I just bought an iMac nine 4K El Capitan 10.11.1 running with iTunes 12.3.2.35. I also bought an iPad opportunity Air 2 out of glideslope. IPad is strictly for the use of music that I am a musician. Since I am unable to "migrate", I copied my old iTunes library on a hard drive, external, built of new playlists on the new iMac and then downloaded on the new iPad. (The HD was only a way to transfer the music.)

    It's just a few of the songs on the iPad part - but they all play in iTunes on the iMac. As you can imagine it's very frustrating because I spent two great to finally have a platform of music to date.

    Does anyone out there have a solution to this problem. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Especially of Kenichi Watanabe, who has been most helpful.

  • kernel_task slow down the new iMac 27 "5K to a crawl

    I've owned my new iMac (OSX El Capitan 10.11.4) for more than 4 months now and have had no complaints other than those sometimes caused by the limited installed 8 GB of memory (an upgrade to 32 GB is on order).  Suddenly last week, I noticed my machine slows down considerably and heats up. Check activity monitor, I have seen that kernel_task took 200 to 400% of the CPU.  Despite the heat, I noticed that I could not hear the fan running, so I downloaded Mac Fan Control indicating the fan did not work - I took it in the center of authorized Service Apple and they confirmed that indeed the fan did not work and ordered me a new one that I expect.  I'm not sure that the fan has never worked - as I remember ever heard - I naively thought the new iMacs are just quieter.

    In the meantime, I'm trying to understand what is causing the problem kernel_task.   I noticed it uses very little CPU on most boot-up until I have load Lightroom (I'm a photographer and use this app heavily) after which zoomed up to more than 200% kernel_task, video playback has the same effect.   However, if I use only my browser for the e-mail and listening to iTunes kernel_task remains down on the only figure of % CPU and machine stay cool.   The person I talked to Apple's Service said she has seen this before and the solution was to do a clean reinstall of the operating system.   I want to save as a last resort - after setting of the fan and installing more memory.    I wonder if heat build-up missing a fan has an effect on kernel_task or help to have more memory?  In any case this is the report of EtreCheck:
