• You have a new iMac to Yosemite, now what to do with CS3 old files on old Mac Leopard?

  I still have the disk for CS3, but haven't ' bought an external CD drive for my new Yosemite. I want to transfer old CS3 files on new computer, but do not have Photoshop installed on the new computer. Don't know what to do first.

  This is the forum for the mobile application of color in Adobe. If you have saved your old computer, you can easily use these files on your new iMac. All Adobe applications are subscription now. Choose a subscription (single or all creative Cloud applications) and then download the product. No more disks are required. No need to buy this external drive. I didn't need a year. Microsoft also makes subscription products now, and everything you want or need is on the Apple app store.

• New iMac too slow

  My iMac is about 90 days (for me): iMac (21.5 inch, end of 2015)

  It is extremely slow at startup and support applications, and not really that fast usually once all started upward. At first, I was busy all pass from my old Mac and assumed that there were some teething pain. But even after many hours with Apple (PRAM reset, reinstall OS X, disk first aid - i.e. the usual steps), I still have a problem.

  Support Apple claims not to know anything on the comparative analysis of tools, which is naïve, I think. Novabench gives me a score of ~ 800. The top of the page Mac on Novabench is a Mac Pro (end 2013 model) with a score of 1588.

  So, what should I do? I feel as if I bought a lemon. My 4 processors do not seem to make for a fast computer.

  .... I was busy to migrate all of my old Mac...

• How do I cleaning system files after transfer to the new iMac?

  Recently I transferred data from an old iMac (2008 version) to a new iMac (screen Retina 4 k) and know that the old system files, extensions and structure have been transferred.  Is there a software out there program that can scan the system/program files and advise those that is obsolete or are no longer necessary or useful for this new iMac?  It seems that my new iMac is slow, and in addition, there are now transferred extensions system on which I'm sure is that I no longer needed. I went from an iMac 2008 Yosemite running to a 4 K run ElCapitan Retina iMac.  Any advice would be much appreciated.  Thank you.

  This is not a task that you can use the software to accomplish. It is above all a manual effort.

  Free space on hard drive

  1. see Lion-Lion/mountain/storage of the Mavericks display.

  2. you can remove the data from your file except for the folder/Home/Library /.

  4. also see release space on your Mac OS X startup disk.

  5 see where my disk space gone?.

  6 see the storage view.

  You must empty the trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.

  You should consider to replace the drive with a larger. Check out OWC of readers, tutorials and boxes tools.

  Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are.

• 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:

• Migrate messages from the Macbook Air to new iMac 2012 2016

  How can I migrate all my messages (text, iMessage) of my Macbook Air to my new iMac 2012 2016? I have a lot of messages on my laptop and I want to migrate them to my iMac just to have them for reference/memory later. I do this because I would like to activate the monthly updating of message on my iPhone, so he won't have to queue all my messages it years ago and I am also reformat my old Macbook Air. Is there a way to do this? Thank you!

  Messages and e-mail accounts and data are found in/Home/Library/Messages/and/Home/Library/Mail/files. Just copy the content to the same folders on the new computer.

  Or you can migrate your complete folder from the old computer to the new home. This can be done using the love at first sight between the two cable and on the new computer using target disk Mode use the Migration Wizard to migrate your application. It could also be run from a time Machine or another external backup drive.

  Migration will not overwrite any user account that has already been created on the new computer. MY simply creates a new Admin user account name. You will then need to switch to the newly migrated account.

  It is as slow as molasses at the north pole.

  Has 16 GB of RAM and a 1 TB hard drive.

  I think that I made a horrible mistake, I found

  Apple shipped 2013 models during

  This period as new. Well, they're in that person only

  It had never used before.

  I tried to save $500.00 by not buying is not a 27 inch

  iMac, as my brother-in-law did. Now, he's a whiz-banger!

  It took me 3 minutes to write this. It's so slow that my

  typing gets in front of the computer, so I have to go back and

  do a lot of corrections.

  Oh, and I type by using the method of the Air Force, "SEARCH AND LAND!"

  It has been so since the first day. The hard drive is less than 50% full.

  You run anti-virus software on your Mac?

  See you soon,.
