migration assistant crushes apps on the new computer?

I've migrated user accounts to a new mac from an old mac. I want to migrate applications as well, but do not want to replace the existing applications on the new computer. How can I avoid this?

Generally if you are migrating a newer Mac to an older apps, they will not work because the version is too new. Migration wizard is designed to transfer data to a newer Mac. It would be better to re - download the apps you want on the old computer to get the correct version. If none of them are paid 3rd party apps, they have a license or serial number. Download them on the old mac and then enter in registration. If you paid apps from the Mac App Store, they will be on your tab bought on the older Mac.

  • How to migrate from Fireworks CS3 to a new computer laptop when the key to the series is lost?

    I'm migrating from Fireworks CS3 to a new computer laptop. I lost the serial key number so I can't install it again. Instead, I copied the program and export/import the relevant part of the registry. And also copied FLEXnet. However, the program comes the spirit the message "licensing for this product has stopped working". I used the ADOBE recovery tool, but nothing helped. Thanks for any ideas or help them.

  • Cleanup of old files of e-mail after the importation of the accounts in the new computer.

    I have a new MacPro with El Capitan.  In the implementation of the new computer, I installed my email accounts, one in particular (a gmail account) had 7 GB of files.  I went into the settings Gmail and disabled Protocol IMAP AllMail, Archive, and several others that I didn't need on the Mac Mail.  It seems that there is a residue of all these emails stored on computer and I would like to remove them because they consume a lot of space on the hard disk.    Y at - it a particular cache that can be cleaned?  A special way to remove hidden files?

    You must remove the Gmail account in Mail in Preferences > accounts. This will bring you to system preferences > Internet accounts. Uncheck the Gmail box in system preferences.

    It seems to remove all the data, but it's actually still in the Mail. Go to the library (see below) Mail to the user folder. In v3, you will see several folders named like that.

    C7AA1753-CDA7-4C5D-9505-05B73B565A50 /.

    C9A984AA-A145-4988-8279-B93445951DAB /.

    MailData

    Check in the files with the alphanumeric naming. You should be able to identify what your Gmail account. If you have only one account other file would be for messages "on my Mac" premises. Delete the folder with your Gmail data.

    Then in email given, delete files that the envelope in the name.

    Sign out under the Apple in the menu bar.

    Connect and empty the trash.

    In system preferences > Internet accounts, check the Mail to your Gmail account. When you open Mail it will reindex messages that have not been deleted, then your Gmail messages will download from the server according to the ones you marked for synchronization.

    Note: You may find that the Mail does not well with the unsynchronized all mail folder.

  • HP All in one Printer of 55 G: HP Officejet G 55 connecting to the new computer

    Good day for the United Kingdom

    I set myself treaties to a new Lenovo desktop.

    With the operating system of Windows 8.1.

    My old HP Officejet G 55, printer all-in-one is a trust serve for several years and has worked well.

    It was no problem and worked well until he presented my my new computer again. The girl seems to be shy or has big problems with his new roommate.  (I guess that driver problems)

    The new computer found the printer immediately, but seems to have problems when printing not

    print all documents, (some are complete, but several pages do not seem to want to print and it shows an instance of the error.

    I visited the site of HP and installed HP support assistance, I ran the printing doctor who finds the printer

    poster communicates with my printer, and then it blocks not appearing is not to achieve something.

    I guess now you can say I'm a complete novis in the computer (Old boy), which I think is expected a new computer to talk with an old printer. I tried to download the update of drivers, without success, I now ask I am doing the impossible, and I have to go out and buy a new printer?

    Any help and advice would be much appreciated

    Cordially a boy needing help!

    Thanks a lot for your kind reply.

    I'll try once more to download and update the printer drivers on the computer,

    using your statement. Otherwise, there will always be time to bite the bullet and buy a new printer to date.

  • Windows live photo gallery: original photos lost the transfer to the new computer

    photos to the new computer, and the originals have not been transferred as im guessing they're saved in the software/program that cannot be transferred.

    If there is not a way to transfer original and edited photos to the new computer, is there a way to return all original with a single click, so that I can transfer the originals on my new computer?

    Thank you.

    Thank you, you saved my originals... I copy paste, but can not work how to connect my pictures changed to the originals so that I can click on my modified photos and click on 'back '.

    Thanks again

    ===========================================
    Sorry, but I don't have the exact solution for re - associate the
    originals with edited versions.  The only thing I would like to know
    to try would be to place the originals in the original Images
    folder on the new system.

    Maybe... I say just that maybe if you copied the photo gallery
    exclusive database of the old system and used it to replace
    the database on the new system. (Just copy and paste the file in)
    the appropriate on the new system folder, and when you see
    ... dialog box you want to replace? with? Select Yes.

    Also... you could instead of replace your new database...
    rename it... Pictures.OLD for example. So if the replacement
    do not re - associate files... you can remove the replacement
    and rename the OLD version in what it was and the Gallery
    must be as it was before the change.

    Depending on the version of your photo gallery might be the database
    Pictures.PD5, Pictures.pd6, Pictures.pd7...

    The path to the version of Win XP is:

    C:\Documents and Settings\ > user name<\Local>
    Application Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Photo Gallery\
    Pictures.PD4, Pictures.pd5 or Pictures.pd6

    Windows Vista:

    C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
    Windows Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd4 or pd5 pd6

    Windows 7:

    Windows\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\
    Windows Live Photo Gallery\Pictures.pd6

    (Sorry, but I'm not sure of the path in Windows 8 but if you)
    do a search for PD6 PD7, you should be able to find it.

    The former article is a user experience
    with the shifting of the database... maybe it would offer a few ideas:

  • How to use transfer windows for xp to xp. When I plug usb computers are delivered to the top with the same screen and when I try to use the transfer to the new computer, it just said information gathering and sits for hours

    How to use transfer windows for xp to xp.  When I plug usb computers are delivered to the top with the same screen and when I try to use the transfer to the new computer, it just said information gathering and sits for hours

    Hello, welcome.

    The process is automatic and the maximum transfer rate should be about 20 GB/HR. If the process crashes during that long of a time, it's probably because of something internal rather something you're doing wrong.
    For reference purposes, I included this link. It goes into the details of the migration from XP to Vista (and the basic steps you follow). The instructions are for migrating to Vista via the network, but you can easily follow the steps and choose a different option for your specific installation.
    For both machines, I recommend you to prepare for the transfer using the following procedure:
    1. click on START > run
    2 type "msconfig" (without the quotes) and press enter
    3. go to the "Startup" tab and uncheck all the entries displayed
    4. click on 'Apply' at the bottom right
    DO NOT RESTART YOUR COMPUTER AGAIN
    5. click on START > run
    6. Type "cmd" (without the quotes). Right-click on the result at the top of the menu START and select 'run as administrator '.
    7. type chkdsk /r and press enter
    8 allow the system to attempt disassembly of the volume
    9. allow the system to plan restarting
    10. restart your computer
    11 let checkdisk analyze the file system on your hard drive
    12. Once completed, perform the same steps on the other machine
    13. Once completed, repeat the transfer

    Let us know what happens

  • Detail of computer Vista Business 32 lost in hurricane. How can I reinstall and activate Vista to the new computer and use the backup image to restore files and programs on the new computer?

    Home built computer with Vista installed detail. I always have backups who intend to reinstall on the machine even if the HDD or MB went bad. Full image backup was on the hard drive of withdrawal which do not damaged. Never planned to lose computer any wave of sandstorm. I reinstalled on the same computer successfully before but never tried to migrate to a new computer.  Cannot uninstall Vista from your old computer, because it was submerged in salt water and died. I am not very well informed, but I can follow directions.  Thank you.

    You don't have to worry about uninstall on the destroyed computer, because it is not usable.

    And no message is sent when you uninstall any computer anyway.

    When you perform the Activation on the new computer, if you have problems of activation to the phone option I have included and do not take the road to auto answer, but brace yourself for a real person to talk to you.

    Then you can explain what happened.
