How do I transfer Pages from one user account to another

How do you transfer Pages from one user account to another on the same Mac?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you haven't modified anything, Pages is installed on /Applications. All users have access to this folder, identified as "Applications" on the Finder sidebar, so you don't have to move anything, because Pages will work on all your users.
If you have installed Pages on ~/Applications (being ~ your user folder), then you have to move Pages to /Applications. After doing this, you will be able to access to Pages on all users

Transfer music from one user account to another on the SAME mac?

My family (wife, son, daughter, and me) share an imac but we all have our own user accounts. Our entire itunes music library is in one user account and is getting to the point of being unmanageable.
Can I move some of my itunes library (e.g., my son's music) to another user account on the same iMac? Some songs were imported from CD and others were purchased from my Apple ID number.
It's my understanding that an ipod can only be synced with one itunes library at a time, but I thought Apple also restricted the usage of music bought from itunes to a finite number of computers. If this is true, I think I would be able to transfer a group of songs from one user account to another so long as the user accounts were on the same computer.
I was told that I could just drag the songs into a shared folder and then log into his account and drop them in iTunes.
Some specific questions:
1) Can I move all music files (CD and purchased) to the shared folder for dropping into his account?
2)The purchased ones were purchased under MY apple ID which I do not want to give him access to. Should I create one for him or just have him use mine and wait for my password. I would like to put an allowance on his new ID number and keep it separate from mine. Would that make a difference in the future if I wanted to use one of his songs on my iPod or in an iMovie project?
I just reinstalled my Lepoard OS X and put all my data back. I did not deauthorize anything before I did this. Did I need to? Or is even a clean install on the SAME machine ok and seen as the same authorization?
Thanks in advance!!

You can give him copies of song files, either by using a shared folder, or by putting the copies on a USB flash drive from which he can copy them to his own iTunes library.
Any DRM-protected tracks that you have purchased from Apple can only be played if the user has authorization to the account(s) from which the tracks were purchased. Authorization requires physical access to the computer and knowledge of the password, and you can figure it from there!

Can I transfer music from one of my itunes account to another?

If you mean iTunes Store accounts, no.
If you mean iTunes libraries, import the song files into it.

How do i transfer music from one lap top to another

can i transfer music from my ipod to another computer

Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.
Type "move itunes library" into the google search bar.

How do I transfer music from one iTunes library to another?

Whilst out of the country and therefore not connected to the internet, using my laptop to play iTunes, then suddenly the library seemed to disappear! When back in the UK and internet-connected again, found solution to locating previous libraries so, thankfully, all songs retrieved! However ........... my latest Adele 21 CD was loaded during the interim period, so how do I get this file from one library to another, without using the CD, as my son has now taken this with him for his 7 month naval deployment to the Carribean!

My mother's father's brother's daughter contacted me two years ago. I have never seen them, but they are "family". Can I copy their CDs?
You would have to take this up with a lawyer. Apple Discussions isn't the place to get legal advice. You can read some takes here (in particular "Copying CDs" at the very bottom where it mentions "personal use" which I don't think means distributing copies to family members not in your immediate physical location).

How to transfer music from one itunes account to another on the same computer

How do I transfer iTunes music to another comp account on the same comp. I have Windows 7 and I made my own Windows account. all of my music is on the iTunes on the other admin. account. So how do i transfer all of my stuff on iTunes to my own account? I've tried going into Preferences then advance but that's not doing anything. I signed into my account on iTunes but that didn't seem to help. Please give me something simple and not too long. I'm trying to do this as quick as possible lol. thanks in advance!
I'm running the lastest iTunes. I just upgraded it today.

Move the music files or the entire iTunes library to a shared folder.
If you moved individual files, open iTunes from the desired account and drag them to the library in the iTunes application window.
If you moved the entire library, launch iTunes with the Shift key held down and choose that instance of it.

How do you transfer music from one I-phone to another

I'm trying to transfer some music from my I-phone 3gs to my buddies I-phone 4. Can it be done?

No, and in fact that's called stealing, plain & simple. Your software license for the music on your phone does not permit this.

Can you transfer music from one iTunes account to another?

I want to make another apple ID but I don't want to lose all my old music.

Hmm. I just discovered that quite some time ago I set up a second account. Don't remember why, but just realized that some songs from my old account wouldn't sync to my new IPad. Managed to get them synced by entering the old account ID (thank goodness it came up as a default). But am wondering if there's any way to move those songs to my current ID. I'm suspecting based on your first sentence above Roger that I can't. That would really suck. I know the next time I have to go through this process I will have forgotten that I have two IDs.

How do you transfer music from one i pod to another

I am going to be getting a new i pod touch and i want all the music and playlists from my old i pod to go onto my new one and im wondering how to do that?

Everything should be on your syncing computer. Just restore the new iPod from the backup of the old iPod.

How do I transfer photos from one icloud account to another?

I recently switched back to iPhone when the iPhone 6 Plus came out. I had the iPhone 4s before I got an android so it's been a while since having an iCloud account. I could not think of my password when logging into my iCloud account when starting up my new phone so I created a new iCloud account. I FINALLY figured out my old password and was able to log in my old 4s phone and see my old photos and thought "WOW I need to save these somewhere." I cannot figure out how to get them off on my old iCloud account... I logged into my old iCloud account on my desktop and did not see those photos though. I have photos on the old iCloud that cannot be replaced, such as photos of family members who have passed away since, PLEASE HELP.
Is there a way to transfer photos over to my new iCloud account from my old one?
Thank you

If the contents that accumulated on the new phone while the spell of Alzheimer went away is not indispensable, perhaps the quickest way would be to reset and wipe the phone then reregister it to the original iCloud account so you would get all your old content/apps/etc. back.
