[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1522534, member: 110816"] That would illegal since you didn't purchase Adobe CS5. If you need access to the Adobe applications look into their newly announced & released [URL="http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud.html"]Adobe Creative Cloud[/URL] that gives you access to the applications for a monthly membership price as opposed to the single shot price. Short of going this route, we are not going to help you with anything illegal and continued discussion will get this thread locked down, so be forewarned. I'll combine questions 2 and 3 together and say [URL="http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4889"]Migration Assistant[/URL] is a good way of migrating your information from one Mac to another. You can hook up the two Mac's together and let MA to the work for you, or you can point MA to a Time Machine backup and it will pull your data from there.. What version of OS X was running on your old Macbook Pro? In some ways, if you have very specific stuff you can transfer, it's easier to just copy it all to an external HD and copy it over your new iMac. Say if all of your files were in the /Documents folder and all of your music is in the /iTunes folder. Copy those over to the HD and then to the iMac and you should be fine.. If you were using an older version of iTunes on your MBP, when you launch iTunes in your iMac (having copied the files over already), it will update your library file to conform to the newer version of iTunes. Once you have your iMac the way you want it, I would strongly recommend that you get Time Machine going for backups at the minimum. You could augment that with a CCC backup which is bootable and all that as well.. [/QUOTE]
