My logic Pro, Pro Tools, FCp, Motion, etc. will all not open when I transferred them to my new iMac i3.


I created a partition on my new iMac for 200gb and cloned my old MBP with an external HD. I tried to open it from the connected external HD and it wouldn't let me. I tried transferring the files from the external hard drive to the partitioned HD on the imac and it said this operation could not be done........

Also I tried booting from the external cloned HD and can not do any functions with my iMac as the keyboard and mouse are bluetooth and it does nothing when I type........

What am I doing wrong? I have been trying to figure this out for the past couple of days and it's driving me crazy

PLEASE HELP

The installation from your old Mac is not likle to have all the drivers required by the new one.

You should be using Migration Assistant to import to the new drive. Some applications may still need to be reinstalled to function properly.
