HT4889 I want to transfer specific applications between macs.

I want to transfer specific applications between macs but Migration Assistant doesn't offer that option. Any suggestions?

If the apps were downloaded from the App Store, you can re download on all your other authorized Macs for free.
How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed then click Install.
Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.

I have recently begun to use Pages and want to transfer a document between the iPad and my PC. I can transfer to the iPad, but not the other way, and am told I do not have sufficient 'privileges'. What does this mean? Also I can't use iCloud with Pages between the iPad and PC, although I purchased extra storage in order to do this.

If you have a PC, you don't have Pages on it. You can transfer Pages presentations to/from iCloud via http://www.icloud.com , however -- you just won't have an app on your PC to deal with Pages documents. Make sure that you have your iCloud account properly configured on your iPad.

I want to transfer purchased song from mac to mac using home sharing but retain all the song modifications I have done

I want to transfer purchased song from mac to mac using home sharing but retain all the song modifications I have done. I am finding this very difficult

If your intention is to copy a just documents and data (word processing files and music for example) then yes, you can use drag and drop. If you want to transfer data and applications and permissions, it would actually be easiest to connect the drive to your old computer and turn on TimeMachine. Once TM is finished, connect the drive to your new computer and restart it holding the option key to get into Recovery mode. Then you can use the restore from TM option to transfer your data and programs to the new computer.

What is the best way to share a specific folder between macs????

Hello, I would like to share a specific folder between macs, heres what I need to do:
1) share one folder that resides in my home folder
2) the other mac should be able to view it without any login information (no password etc)
How? What is the best way?

Rick, are you saying that if you try to share a folder outside of home and use sharepoints, then the other mac wont prompt you to log in? Have you tried that? It is hard to believe that is the case
I am sort of saying that. Have you tried it? I know it's hard to believe, but you really need to help us out by trying some steps that you don't believe.
We can't see what your exact situation is. We sort of know what's worked for us out here. Just trying to help you get this going in less than 24 hours!
Sharepoints manages the samba configuration file. It's free software that puts a pretty face on an otherwise cumbersome config file.
Give it a shot.
windows will not prompt for passwords, I have tried this with multiple computer at home for both vista and xp
As I stated. You will not get prompted on windows, if you have set up sharing in an insecure fashion. You are not using a secured sharing situation.
No argument with your statement.

I want to transfer my song one mac to another mac, just one or two songs with rating it's possible?

I want to transfer my song one mac to another mac, just one or two songs with rating it's possible?

I am pretty sure the ratings are stored in the main library file itself, not attached to the media files unlike things such as artist and album. They therefore don't transfer with you adding the file to a different library.
Check Dougscripts and see if there is a script that helps with this. One solution would be to perhaps temporarily borrow an unused tag field such as grouping and have Dougscript "place this in that" put a copy of the rating in that field, then transfer it to back to rating when you add it to a second library. I haven't done this but it might work.

Transfer one application from mac to air

how do I transfer selected application from my mac to my new Mac Air. I only have a few applications that I want to transfer and after spending 2 hours trying to follow u tube and other articles, I still have not been able to transfer. Please help.

If only a few App's, the best way is to re-install on the new Mac (via App Store, D/L, or DVD)

Transfer one application from mac to mac

Hello!
I just got my new macbook air and I would like to transfer one application from my mac mini to macbook air.
The problem is that I cannot use migrating assistant because on my mac mini I got 200gb apps and my macbook air has only 128GB space + i dont need those apps there.
How do I do it?
I tried to copy the files ( see attachment ) and paste them in my macbook air specific folders, but didn't work the app just appears in doc for second.

I want to transfer files from my Mac Pro top Mac Air. i'M WRITING A BOOK SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE IT, WHICH IS ON PAGES, COMES ALONG AND IS IN TACT. iS THIS HARD TO DO FOR A SLIGHTLY ELDERLY PERSON WHO WANTS IT DONE RIGHT AND SO THAT I CAN GET TO WORK

I am buying an Apple Air and want to transfer files including a book I am writing on Pages.
I am not very tech savy. I have been told, however, by a number of friends I can save $1000 and do this myself.
I don't mind giving it a whirl, but i don';t want to loose anything in the transfer, And, I was hoping this was a fairly quick, fool-proof, process.
I have looked into this a bit and was wondering if I need two (2) Ethernet cables? That is,one from the Mac Pro to the Ethernet and one from the Apple Air to the Ethernet? Or, is it one just one cable to the Ethernet? And, if so, from the Apple Pro or the Apple Air to the Ehternet?
I'm assuming a dsiplay box appears on either or both of the notebooks? Perhaps prompting you to transfer everthing you have on the Apple Pro hard drive to the
the Apple Air hard drive? Or, to selection files? Dumb question: I assume my book, which is written on Pages is on The Apprle Pro hard drive? Correct? Or is it on a file folder separately?
I appreciate any feedback yuou may have.
Again, is it striaghtforward and easy to accomplish?
Thanks,
-Larry

The following may help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5872
Note that the MacBook Air does not have an ethernet port so you can either use wi-fi if you have that, or you can buy an ethernet adpater such as: http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC704ZM/A/apple-usb-ethernet-adapter or you could use an external disk.
Also, if you took it to a local shop that specializes in Macs the cost shouldn't be anywhere near $1000 for them to assist. More like $100 and could even be free if they sell Macs and you buy the new one there.

Transfer data files between macs?

I want to transfer a large data folder 10+ GB from my MB to a MB Pro. Both on 10.7.5. But Airdrop does not show up on the MB; maybe wireless card is too old. Should I use FireWire? Blue Tooth? I can't find instructions in Mac Help how to do it.

Are they both on a network (the same network)? If so, you can just use File Sharing over either wifi or ethernet. The ethernet connection will almost certainly be faster.

Message application between Macs on internal local network

I’m looking for an application that will allow interchange of short messages (copy/pasteable) between Macs on my home network via Ethernet/router/Airport. At the moment, I use email.

You can use iChat via Bonjour on your local network to communicate in much the same fashion as you'd use it via internet based services. I even found a nice short video demonstrating the ease of setup:

Transfer Podcast Subscriptions Between Macs?

I've got to put my MacBook Pro in the shop for a few days, so I'm going to be using my old PowerBook while it is gone (it runs OS X 10.5.8). Is there any way I could transfer just my podcast subscriptions between the two Macs so I can keep listening to my programs (approximately 45 of them) while the MacBook Pro is gone?
Thanks for any recommendations you can give!

Didn't get any help with the question.

Transfer Printer configuration between Macs

Hi all,
I had to configure a computer with 32 printers.
Now I have to the same with another 200 computers running 10.3 and 10.4.
I was wondering if anyone knows if is there any other way rather than going computer by computer configuring all the 32 printers. That would take ages and it is not an option.
Print server option would not work for me either.
Basically I was thinking on taking the relevant printer configuration files from the computer that has already been configured and transfer them to each of the other new computers. By doing that I hope to get the new computers configured upon restart. Now I just need to find out which ones are the right files. Does anyone know?
Thanks in advance
John

Never mind.(and I was wrong. Since Tiger came out and Apple changed the structure of the forums it has moved.)
It appears that Greg has answered your question on the Tiger forum in the printing and faxing section.
I still think that there may be an issue with the addressing of the printers but try it on a few computers to find out.
The folder that you need to access is invisible and will not show up in the finder. If you use the search function (not the little window in a finder window) and add "search visibility both visible and invisible" and enter the folder name "/cups/printers.config" it will show you the folder that you need to get to.
Good luck. I wouldn't want to map out 32 printers for 200 macs either.
