Can't access my applications from external HD on ICY can someone advise please?
Hi, feel quite lost, my 24' iMac was recently updated by computer guy, who put in a new hard drive and upgraded to Mountain Lion, all my info was on desktop waiting to be transferred back into folders when my GFX gave out. I managed to get someone else to get hard drive out, bought a 2nd hand refurb'd iMac and an ICY BOX, have plugged it in, and now I'm stuck as to what to do.
The imac has Lion, I think that's why I can't open photoshop from the external HD, as I'm guessing that's only compatible with Mountain Lion.
I can see all my info there on the HD - I don't want to start importing stuff until I'm sure that's the right thing to do. Should I upgrade the new iMac first? Or can I just drag and drop operating system files from the external HD to the new HD. My computer guy won't call me back and I need to use the programmes but don't want to mess up my new PC.
I'm very good at following instructions but there's nothing out there eon the web I can find to tell me how to proceed.
Could someone point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks in advance of any help you can offer
