Can i transfer software from one mac to another

If I install Final Cut Pro X to my MacBook Pro, will I be able to transfer the program to an iMac later down the road?

It's a simple drag and drop procedure with just the FCP X application in the Apps folder, exactly the same as copying any other file/folder.
No "hidden" files like legacy FCP.

  • Can you transfer apps from one Mac to another?

    I have both a desktop Power PC G5 running Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.11) on which I sync my iPod Touch and have all my apps, movies etc. I also have an Intel MacBook Pro running Leopard (with no link to the iPod Touch). If I buy an iPad, how do I sync the apps/movies I've either paid for or downloaded free? I see in the tech spec for the iPad says that it is only compatible with Mac 10.5 onwards. So it possible to transfer the apps from one machine (desktop) to the other (laptop) and then sync with the iPad, and what do you have to do? Thanks, in advance, for your help on this one.

    You go to your original Mac and Deauthorise the computer, then you go to your nw computer and re-authorise it with he same iTunes account and you should be able to download all your Apps again for free.
    Syncing will of course delete all the media content on the iPad and replace it with the media content from the newer computer so you may wish to move your library at the same time.

  • Can I transfer albums from one Mac to another, while preserving ...

    Hi
    I have two macs with different photos on each one, although many are the same. I have made several albums in folders on one mac with keywords, titles, and now wish to bring them over to my other mac, so I don't have to repeat all that work.
    How can i do it and what happens when the same files are on both?
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can do that with the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager. Connect the two Macs so iPLM can view both libraries and you can either copy Events from Library A to LIbrary B and keep all metadata while excluding duplicates.
    Or you can use iPLM to merge Library A and Library B into a new Library C again keeping all metadata and excluding duplicates.

  • Can't transfer files from one mac to another

    I keep getting error messages saying the file is already there and there is nothing on the drive then after I dismiss the error message a file shows up that has 0kb and doesn't work. I am getting real frustrated with this situation.

    I have run disk utility and fixed permissions on both computers. I connect via air port and a Linksys router. I have no problem connecting both computers and their files show up on both with no problem I can even go over to one computer and grab a file while on the other computer but if I try to save it back to the original location (on the other computer) I am told it can't do that. I used to be a permissions issues but now If I try to just drag a drop a file on the other computer (or save it there) I am told that it already exists (there isn't one there), do I want to replace it with the new file. I click replace and then am told that it can't complete this operation because the file is already in that location, it's not but after I clear the error message it shows up as a 0KB file that can not be opened because it is corrupted. I have reinstalled the snow leopard system software on both computers with no improvement.

  • How to transfer Signatures from one Mac to another

    In Mail, if I go to Preferences > Signatures, I see in the left column *All Signatures*, and signatures for various accounts.
    How would I transfer the signatures in *All Signatures* from one Mac to another?
    The names of files in the folder ~/Library/Mail/Signatures are all cryptic.
    Moreover, since each signature is tied to a certain account, I don't think that I can just copy these files into the Signature folder of the 2nd Mac.

    Simply moving these cryptic files did not work, in the sense that these signatures did not show up in the right-most column of the Signatures pane.
    I made sure that I did not move the SignaturesByAccount.plist file in the ~/Library/Mail/Signatures folder.
    So, would someone please share with me how to transfer signatures from one Mac to another, with both running Mail?

  • How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

    How can I transfer work from one computer to another?

    Welcome to the forum.
    I can think of three basic ways to accomplish what you wish to do:
    Use the Project Archiver to archive your Project (and check the box to gather the media files), to an external HDD. Probably the easiest way to do it.
    Copy the Project and ALL media files to an external HDD, but be prepared to relink the media files to the Project, as the drive letter (part of the Absolute Path) will have changed.
    Edit loosely, and Share to an AV file, which will be Imported into a New Project on that second computer. Or, edit VERY tightly, and do the same. I like the first, as removing, replacing Transitions, etc., can be much more difficult, unless that "tight edit" is 100% done.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • How can I transfer information from one ipad to another?

    how can I transfer information from one ipad to another ?

    What kind of information? You can sync things like Contacts and Calendars by using iCloud. You can backup one iPad to iTunes on a computer and then sync the backup to the other iPad. You can configure your iTunes content and sync the same content to both iPads.
    It is based on what you want to do. Or are you looking for a way to send files from one iPad to another wirelessly? There are apps to do things like that, as well as cloud services, such as DropBox.

  • Can i transfer everything from one ipad to another so both have exactly the same things

    Can i transfer everything from one ipad to another so both have exactly the same things?

    Yes. Copy your apps and other iTunes purchases/downloads to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you have iTunes 11 on your computer), then backup up the first iPad and restore that backup onto the second iPad.
    Backups and restores : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079
    Things that aren't included in a backup include the contents of the Music and Videos apps (but they should be on your computer's iTunes) and photos that were synced from a computer. Also you will need to enter your passwords (email, wifi, website) on the second iPad - they won't be restored onto a different device, only back onto the device that the backup came from.

    The geniusbar told me what to do, I understood but there is still a problem for me >:/ It's not showing up though. Like "device."  Nothing is happening, and I tried as soon as I got home. Then after half an hour, then an hour, then 3 hours. My problem is that it's not showing up! It's stuck in recovery mode! There's still like 25% battery. So I have no idea why.
