Giving iMac to grandson, buying new one for me

[capecod5947]

Solved!!!

I got on the phone with an Adobe rep this morning, and he led me thru the entire process of re-installing all my programs. It took a couple of hours, but everything is happy and working fine on my new Mac.
He did emphasize NOT to ever de-authorize any program, dont do it that way any more. He said to CALL them when you are ready to set up a new computer, and they would guide us thru the process. Or show us links to where it can be done.

This is a wonderful forum, I have learned so much here! Also I go thru some of the other posts and learn more stuff too.

Thank you all!
Jane

One more thing, and then I go have a pre-dinner cocktail with my husband and start cooking dinner,,,,,,,,,thats relax time, and no more computer stuff tonight, Im tired of it, and Lilly is too.

Now I have both hard drives open on the new Mac, and am going thru all my 3rd party filters, brushes, gradients, styles, on and on. And my custom actions for PS. I cant do without Flaming Pear filters and my Topaz plug-ins and many many others.
Just dragging them from the other hard drive in PS or PSE to the new program on the new Mac's HD, they will copy fine, and make sure your PS or PSE is not running. Then when you open it, all your extra goodies will be in there. And they are, Im done for tonight.

2 issues with Mavericks, one solved, one not

The first issue, was to get the generic folders and icons customized.
Wouldn't work on my new 10.9 27 inch Mac.

So I had another easy thing to call Apple care about, and once the little question was answered, neither of the guys knew how to do the picture thing.
Here is the process,,,,,,,
No change in the process, get info on the picture that you want to use, then get info on the folder or icon you want to look like the picture.
Highlight the picture one, copy it, then highlight the generic icon or folder, then paste the picture. It will appear.

I know its not important, but those of us who love to customize things, want to be able to.

Next, the last but not least, issue,
where the heck is our lovely old Mosaic screensaver option?
Will post later on the info I have.

That went away about one OS ago unfortunately. There is a petition somewhere to bring it back. Why on earth someone at Apple actually took the time to get rid if that is beyond me, I'd like to have a quiet word with them.

A petition to bring it back! If we can find and sign it, I, and all my photoshop classmates will do so.
Ive emailed Apple, and one Apple care guy said to write to them snailmail.

I just cant believe they would trash something as pretty as that.
Steve Jobs must be twirling in his grave with anger!
