Help! Can I tranfer app. not using a firewire?

Hi, I just was in an Apple store today and I bought the MacBook Pro, but now I am trying to set up, and it says to transfer files I need a Firewire cord? Also there doesn't seem to be an option to just transfer some applications/files...is this right? Is this the only way to transfer files/ applications, or can I put the ones I want to transfer on an external hardrive and then transfer them over?

or can I put the ones I want to transfer on an external hardrive and then transfer them over?
Yes. The automated functions provided by the Migration Assistant requires a FireWire connection, but items can be manually transferred.

  • Can all ipod apps be used on the ipad?

    Can all ipod apps be used on the ipad?

    Any apps in the app store that are 'universal', as in works on both large and small screens have a + by the download button.
    Many Touch apps (also iPhone apps) do work on the iPad, but they're tiny, taking up the middle of the screen. You can make them fit the screen, but their appearance varies. Some are high enough resolution that they look okay, others are blurry.

  • Third party app can only see but not use library after current update

    An application that has been using the iTunes library to play music from play lists can no longer read and use the library but can only see the library. This is happening since running the iTunes update to 12. I have corrected the problem by reloading maverick and loading music into iTunes after a fresh install. The app works again with a fresh mavericks install. So, now what is the order of operations to backdate to an earlier version of iTunes? My library can no longer be read by the mavericks install as it has been updated by iTunes 12.
    I am using an external drive FYI.
    I was thinking I would use the mavericks install and create a new library on the external and move the music folder to the same directory and then add the whole directory. Then one by one import the play lists.
    I don't know what to do about the artwork directory? Do I move it and replace the same folder in the new mavericks library directory? Will the above process complicate the assignments?
    If apple reads this... The version update that did away with coverflow was the beginning of iTunes decline. It wasn't broke. It was close enough to perfect as a library management tool. You should make the next version closer to that one. 

    I had a similar problem when trying to install Zinio.air. I have made it all work out. What i did was remove Adobe Air 15 entirely from the Utiliites and Library/ accounts and preferences. I then downloaded Adobe Air 13 and installed and then clicked on Zinio .air and it all installed ok. I also had to temporarily change security settings from Apple approved to Anywhere. All functioning now.

  • IPad mini apps not using the internet.

    There is an issue with my sister's iPad mini where when she's connected to our home internet, only some of her apps use the internet and others don't. For example, while Safari and My Singing Monsters work (thats pretty well the only two apps that work with the internet), the App store, iTunes, Google, Youtube and every other app that requires internet doesn't. She's connected to our internet (it even says in Wi-fi that she's connected) but for some reason almost all her apps (not every app) acts as if she had no connection. Our internet is fine. It works with every other device in our house so its something to do with the iPad mini itself. Pretty well, she has internet connection but most of the apps act as if she doesn't.

    Hello Zoruzero,
    The first thing I would suggest checking is ... another Wi-Fi network.  Does your sister have the same issue when she is in a different location? (home, work, local coffeehouse?).
    Here are the basic troubleshooting steps for Wi-Fi connectivity:
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t connect to a Wi-Fi network - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204051
    Make sure your router is on and that you're within range.
    If you're too far from your router you won't get a signal, so make sure you're within range. 
    Make sure Wi-Fi is on and that you can see your network.
    Tap Setting > Wi-Fi and make sure Wi-Fi is turned on. Tap the name of your Wi-Fi network to join. A blue checkmark beside a network name means you're connected.
    Get help if you can't turn on Wi-Fi.
    If prompted, type in your Wi-Fi password.
    If prompted, enter the password for your Wi-Fi network. Learn what to do if you don’t know your password.
    Check all of your cables and connections.
    If you still can’t connect to your network or get online, make sure your router is connected to the modem and turned on.
    Restart.
    For more help, try restarting your device, router, or cable/DSL modem. After each step, check to see if you fixed the issue.
      • Restart your iOS device.
      • Unplug your router and plug it back in.
      • Unplug your cable or DSL modem and plug it back in.
    Still can’t connect?
    Reset your Network Settings. Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. This also resets Wi-Fi networks and passwords, cellular settings, and VPN and APN settings that you’ve used before.
    Get more help
    If someone else set up your network, ask them for help. If you’re using a network at a company, school, hotel, store, or other free Wi-Fi location, find an employee for assistance.
    If you're connected to a Wi-Fi network but you can’t get online, try to use your Wi-Fi network on other devices. If you can’t get online using your other devices, there might be a service outage. Call your cable company or internet provider for help.
    Try connecting to a Wi-Fi network in a different location. If your device can connect, you’ll need to get help with your Wi-Fi network. If it can’t connect to any Wi-Fi networks, contact Apple.
    Update your Wi-Fi router with the latest firmware and make sure the router supports your Apple product. For more information, contact the manufacturer of your router.
    Hope this helps ...

  • Isn't there an app that can track what apps are using up your resources?

    There really ought to be!  My battery time stinks, I have to recharge my phone all the time, it's I took it off the charger at 8:15 and it's down to 84% and I barely used my phone today.  I've tried every suggestion I found on here and it hasn't helped.  The one thing that COULD help is if there was some kind of task manager like in windows that showed you what apps are using which resources so at least I could tell if there's something running that is constantly using up all the resources and milking my battery.  This is really frustrating.  I just checked and my battery is now at 83% and it's been locked this whole time.  I'm sorry but that is not normal.

    another symptom--after doing nothing but some light texting, she sent 30 mb of data in an hour.  That strikes me as being way out of line.

  • I've got a British iPad (and account) but am in Canada for 6 months. How can I download apps not available on the uk site only the us/Canada site

    I'm in Canada but have a uk account.  I can't change it to a Canadian account as my cards are all registered to the uk so it won't let me move it to the right domain.  The iPad recognises I am not in the uk as I can't watch Bbc Iplayer but I can't get apps for tv here.  Any ideas how I can do it?

    You would have to open an account in the Canadian iTunes Store, which will require a Canadian payment method (Canada-issued credit card or prepaid iTunes card) and a valid Canadian mailing address.
    Regards.

  • Can you recover app data using Time Machine

    When I got my 3GS, I consciously elected to create a new phone, rather than restoring from my previous backup. (Thought it would be best to start from scratch since I hadn't yet installed OS 3.0).
    Anyway,I did this forgetting that only one app I use has any significant data associated with it -- my workout app.
    Is there a way to recover the data for just that app using Time Machine?
    Thanks.

    Had a similar issue with Peggle (close to the last level, but my saves didn't transfer! AAAHH!!!). What I had to do (according to AppleCare) was to restore my phone from a backup. This doesn't take long at all, and you don't have to redownload the OS to do it (it simply replaces "your stuff" with the backup. Doing it this way (instead of going with "new phone" fixed my problem. From there, you can change the name of your phone or whatever you want in iTunes.
    Hopefully you made a recent backup of your old phone so you can do this. If you deleted your backup, you can use Time Machine to restore it and THEN restore from backup on your new phone. But to my knowledge (and according to the Apple rep I talked to) there is no way to simply transfer data within the app itself.

  • Security camera App for use with FireWire Cam

    I want to set up a kind of CCTV system using my FireWire camera. Picking up movement is quite a good feature, but setting it to record at a certain time would be better.
    Anyone got any suggestions?

  • Help- Urgent- Multi-folio app not showing all languages

    I created a multi-folio app in 6 languages. English the default. English shows up in app store but all the other folios for German, Italian etc don't show up. They are all published and public. I changed my ipad to Italian and I still dont' see Italian as an option. The English showed up. I also submitted the app under all 6 languages when building in App Builder and then created all the language profiles in Itunes connnect.
    What's weird now that I think about it in Adobe Publisher online there is nowhere to specify a language or when I uploaded the folios there was no way to specify a language. So I think the problem is that Itunes doesn't see the other 5 languages? I just can't figure out what is wrong here and there is no documentation on the web or from adobe.
    Please help as my client is going nuts as am I.
    Post here but feel free to email me directly as well as this is urgent.
    [Edited at request of poster]
    Thanks!

    Thanks for responding. I'm trying to follow you. Right now only english shows in the viewer but there are 6 folios. There is a different folio for each language, all published and all apart of the app, same ids etc. So, I guess what you are saying is the only way to get those languages to show up is to use is to use filters?
    My understanding was if I created a multi-folio with 6 folios they will all show up. But right now only one is showing up for English. All the otherlangues don't show up in the viewer. I have no idea why? Shouldn't all the languages show up? I'm been trying to figure out where is the missing setting.
    If you create a multi-folio all folios should show up for everyone regardless of language, right?
    Creating different app for each language is not an option. They spent thousands for the professional account to do this. There must be a setting somewhere I'm missing.
    I just looked up filters. Was I supposed to use that for the other folios?
    Thanks again for helping.

  • HELP - Can't Update Apps in iOS 5

  • Can I download apps/updates using someone else's computer & ISP?

    My friend was lamenting that she can't purchase certain apps because they are too big for her ISP e.g. Audubon is 1GB in size which would take days to download (wouldn't work, would get interrupted) and in any case would exceed the download allowance.
    So my thought was "we have that app, she can buy it and abort the download of it and then I can just copy the .ipa to her computer and Install". But this doesn't work: apparently the .ipa itself is tagged with our purchase information and can't be used by anyone else, despite that they've purchased it too. Izzat right?
    Assuming it's the case that downloads can't be re-used in any way, just how does someone with an inadequate ISP download large apps? Could I, for example, log-on to our iTunes with this other person's Apple Store ID, then download the app using my ISP; she's bought-but-aborted and then copy that download into her "iTunes Media/Mobile Applications" for her to install to her iGizmo?
    Is there any better way to do this?

    I doubt bandwidth is a concern at their end of the pipe. You can use a single copy, provided one of you is prepared to authorize the other's computer for protected purchases. However having apps from more than one account on any computer or device means that to update the apps you have to sign out of one account and into the other each time there is an update on the "wrong" account. To do so on a regular basis would mean sharing password details with the other party which ought not to be advised.

    Thanks, I think this is finally sinking-in with me, helping me also to understand how this friend has an app from her husband's AppleID and computer on HER computer--they must have authorized his ID on her computer (they said they spent hours on the phone with Apple support to get the app onto her iGizmo, without being able to tell me how it got resolved).
    What you're saying is that I should be able to "give" this friend the 1GB file I've downloaded, by logging-on to iTunes using my AppleID, and then Authorizing the computer for use (which decrements one of my 5 allowable computers).
    But then it would work only once, and the next time the app needs to be updated she'd have to log-off and log-on as me and then do the update. Actually I think this might work, since these friends are pushing "elderly" and struggle to use their PCs and new iPhones, i.e. when they need to be updated they tend to call me anyway. I'd go over there, copy the dl'ed update to their PC, log-off and back-on as me, update her iPhone, and return the PC to her AppleID.
    If my post indicates a misunderstanding on my part in any way, please let me know. Thanks again tt2 and JE.
