How do I transfer purchased apps from one mac to the other?

When i want to sync my iPhone in iTunes on my new computer I will lose all of the apps that I purchased.
Can someone tell me how to sync it in a way (or some other solution) so I can keep my purchased apps? 
I'm using the same ID as on old mac.
I have been searching on the internet for help, but I can't find a clear answer.
Thanks in advance.

1) authorize iTunes on the new machine for your iTunes store account(s)
2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
3) sync the device
iTunes will wipe the iPhone but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPhone with it.
btw, purchased apps can be redownloaded over and over free of charge ...

  • How do I transfer purchased apps from one Apple ID account to another?

    I noticed I was purchasing apps on my iphone using a different Apple ID.  Both use the same email address. 
    Here is what I want to do:
    1. Which account is older?  I don't remember which Apple ID I registered when I purchased my iPhone.  How can I find this out?
    2. I only want to keep one Apple ID.  How do I get rid of the other one?
    3. Before I "delete" the Apple ID, how do I transfer the contents (apps, songs)?  Do I transfer this to the other account?  Should I transfer this to a computer?  Do I download them to iTunes, and if so, under which account would be downloading them to?   I have heard you can burn songs onto a disc.  Can I also do this for apps? 
    Thanks again!

    1)  not sure.
    2 ) You don't.  you can stop using it, but everything purchased with it, will still be tied to it, and your computers will need to be authorized to that account.
    3)  "Before I "delete" the Apple ID, how do I transfer the contents (apps, songs)"  Transfer them from where to where?
    " Do I transfer this to the other account?"
    You cannot.
    " Do I download them to iTunes, and if so, under which account would be downloading them to?"
    Download them to itunes from where?  and you cannot download them to another account.  They will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased.
    "  I have heard you can burn songs onto a disc.  Can I also do this for apps? "
    You can back them up to a cd and transfer them between computers.
    What are you trying to accomplish?

  • How can I transfer purchased apps from one iPad to another?

    Hi all,
    We just got a second iPad.  Previously our single iPad was registered under my Apple ID.  My wife downloaded lots of apps for the kids on our old iPad.  Now I want to associate the old iPad with my wife's Apple ID, but be able to keep all the kids apps on it that were previously purchased under my apple ID.  I don't really want any of the kids apps on the new iPad - especially since I will usually have it with me at work.  Is there any way to do this?
    Thanks.

    You can't associate purchased apps with another Apple ID. The apps are tied to the ID that was used to purchase them.
    If you sign in on the iPad with the ID that purchased the apps - then you can download them again using the ID that is associated with those purchases.

    How can I transfer my apps from one account to another

    Apple will not permit transfer of applications from one account to another. Suppose your mom has presented an iPad to you and before presenting she has downloaded some Apps with her account. If you want to update those Apps, you must know her pass word or send the iPad to her and request her to update and give back. If you feel it is time consuming and difficult, the best way is purchase new iPad and down load  the latest version of App. Whenever you come across you go on purchasing new iPad. This will help you to have latest version of iPad with you.

    If you plug in your ipod and/or iphone to your new machine, they should show up in the left column in itunes.

  • How can I import my iphotos from one account to the other?

    Someone knows step by step iphoto from one account to the other. I am admin but still I do not know how to bring my iphotos to a different account
    thanks for help
    marc

    Just the Photos?
    Export them from iPhoto to a folder on the desktop
    Put that folder in the Users/Shared folder.
    Switch User.
    Drag the folder from the Shared folder to whereever you want it.
    Share the Library?
    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder (but note: some users find ongoing permissions issues with the Library in this location. It might be better to use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • How to make a JDialog scrolling from one position to the other.

    Hi all,
    I want to move a JDialog from one position to the other(actually I want to scrolling/moving as messenger notification appear on top of the system tray) on the desktop.
    Anyone of you can give me a clue.
    Thanks

    Ok here what I have try up to now. First make the initial position of the JFrame as follows.
        private void SetWindowLocation()
            final int screenHeight = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().height;
            final int screenWidth = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().width;
            final int frameHeight = this.getHeight();
            final int frameWidth = this.getWidth();
            int _y = (screenHeight - frameHeight - 32);
            int _x = (screenWidth - frameWidth);
    // Initial location
            this.setLocation(_x, _y); 
    }This code place my Frame in the lower-right corner on top of the system-tray.
    Then as you guys says, try to work on a Timer. Now I'm stuck with the action listener. I try to move the frame to upper-right corner.
        private void SetWindowLocation()
            final int screenHeight = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().height;
            final int screenWidth = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().width;
            final int frameHeight = this.getHeight();
            final int frameWidth = this.getWidth();
            int _y = (screenHeight - frameHeight - 32);
            int _x = (screenWidth - frameWidth);
    // Initial location
            this.setLocation(_x, _y); 
            _timer = new javax.swing.Timer(100, incrementYPosition);
    ActionListener incrementYPosition = new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
                       while(_y > 0){
                            // do the processing here.
                            // reduce the _y value and set the new location with _x
                    };I'm stuck with that how to involve with the ActionListener here. :(:( After set the initial location how to deal with the ActionListener.
    Any help.

  • Transfer purchased apps from one iTUNES account to another

    I have purchased a few apps on an iTunes account, have set up a new account and bought apps on that. Can i transfer apps from one iTunes to another?

    The Solution is that you will need to keep account A active for as long as you have those Apps...
    Or you can Get Them Again using account B... But if they are Purchased Apps you will have to pay again...
    Free Apps are of course Free...
