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.

    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.

    How can you transfer photos from phone to phone

    If you are trying to get all the photos from an old phone to your new phone, you could sync the old phone which would create a backup containing your Camera Roll. Then connect the new phone and follow the prompts to register and name your new phone. You will then be given the choice of restoring data to your new phone from a backup of the old phone. This will replace any existing data on the new phone with the data from the backup so it's really the best option if the other phone is new.
    Another option would be to connect the phone to your computer and import your photos to iPhoto or the My Pictures folder. Then you could sync the other phone and under the Photos tab in iTunes you could choose the folders/albums of pictures you want on the phone. They will not be in the Camera Roll, but they will be on the phone.
    I hope this helps.

  • How can i transfer apps from one account to another.?

    now i had bought apps with my old account. but when i sync them into my phone i cant update them using my account, i need the old itunes i had. How can i transfer all bought apps onto my new account?

    You can't.
    All 3rd party apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account used to purchase/download the apps. DRM cannot be transferred from one account to another.
    Why did you get a new iTunes account? Changing your email address alone does not require doing so.

  • How can i transfer apps from one computer to another?

    My i-pod touch was on one computer and i would like to change my apps from that computer to another.

    The simplest solution is to copy the iTunes folder from the other computer to the new one. This will transfer everything including music, apps, etc. The folder is /Home/Music/iTunes/.

  • 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 you transfer info from one phone to another without access to iTunes on a PC?

    I have an iPhone 4 and an iPad. Today I received an iPhone 5. However, I don't have a PC at the moment. Do I need toward until my PC is fixed before I can start using my iPhone 5 or can I transfer all my data using my iPad? I use the iCloud if this helps?

    Actually Ocean20's post is not correct. You can backup your iPhone 4 or iPad to iCloud, restore your data to your new iPhone 5, then re-download all of your purchased iTunes content to your new iPhone 5. No computer needed.

  • 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.

  • Can you transfer purchases from one account to another?

    My parents created an Apple ID using our HOME E-MAIL and I've been using that one since I first used iTunes. Now, I have MY OWN e-mail address and I want to use that one now. I want to know if there's a way to TRANSFER ALL the purchases I've made with that account to my new one. I really DON'T wanna have to buy them again...and I have ALOT of stuff I bought.

    Stuff that was bought recently is DRM-free, and should work under any account.
    Stuff that was bought when all files were DRM-protected are non-transferrable between accounts.
    If you subscribe to iTunes Match, you should (not 100% positive) be able to delete your DRM-protected files and redownload them from iTunes's matching service. (Ones that are matched, of course.. Uploaded ones will stay DRM'd.) It's only $25 for a year's subscription, and all their files are 256kbps, too. I'd recommend this solution.
    If you bought video files, I'm afraid you're screwed, as there's no way (that I know of) to remove DRM from videos. Either re-download or keep authorizing your computer with both iTunes accounts (the old one and your current one).
    I have a couple music vids and TV show episodes that a buddy of mine gave me about 9 years ago. Every time I get a new computer, I have to have him come over and authorize my account, or I can't play them.
    Hope this helped.

    please help!!

    Sync them from your iTunes library or redownload them from the App Store with your original iTunes Store account, which is free.
    If they're not in the iTunes library, use the Transfer Purchases function.
