How can I transfer Apple app licenses to new MacBook??

Hi All,
I have moved off my G5 onto a MacBook Pro. I TimeMachined my G5 and installed the Pro using the backup in a hope that all my apps would work... Appears all but the Apple ones do!! I am now challenged for the license key... unfortunately during one of our many office moves most of the boxes, media etc. got binned I have installed and officially bought Final Cut Pro, Aperture, Soundtrack Pro and various other apps... I spoke the the specialist shop that sold the software to us and they said they were unable to help. I spoke to the guy who sold me the MB Pro and he said that if I send the license files to Apple they can 'sort it'... Unfortunately I can't see how / who / where
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I now have no apps and all my pictures and work is next to useless
Thanks,
S

no problem
HOWEVER
for a stable system I would recommend doing fresh installs of your programs as you migrated them
NEVER NEVER NEVER migrate complex programs
all Apples pro apps
all Adobe's
Office
etc
I know it is a pain but they install stuff over all over the system, as well you are "migrating" from a PPC system to Intel
ok for simple apps like iCal or mail but not for the complex ones

    All your data will be transferred if you use Setup Assistant, which starts automatically the first time you boot the new machine. You may need to contact Microsoft to reactivate the product.

  • How can i transfer my apps from ipad to macbook

    Sorry i´m a new user of macbook. I try to transfer my apps from my ipad to
    my new macbook pro.
    I try it with the tutorial and i tranfer my apps from itunes and autorize my new macbook
    but i can see in my folder the apps but it doesnt work making double click.
    Thank you

    emijogar, you can backup your iPad apps on your MacBook Pro (using iTunes), but you can't actually run those apps on your laptop.
    Mac desktops and laptops run OSX, but iPhones, iPads and iPod Touches run iOS. These are two different operating systems. That's why they have different App Stores (the Mac App Store for OSX, and the iTunes App Store for iOS).
    You can't run OSX apps on mobile devices, and you can't run mobile apps on a laptop or desktop.
    It's sorta like trying to put a bicycle tyre on a car. It just doesn't fit.
    However, many OSX apps have iOS versions, and vice versa. Just check the App Stores to see what's available.

    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.

    Can I transfer my apps to a new iTunes account from my old one? How?
    Thanks.

    No, you cannot transfer apps from one account to another iTunes account. Apps are DRM protected and forever tied to the account used to originally obtain them.

    how can I transfer purchased apps from itunes account to old iphone?

    You can sync them under apps on iTunes if they are in your iTunes library.
    you can go into the App store on the device, tap on "updates" and then "purchases" download the apps you want.

  • HT1414 how can i transfer my apps from itunes of my computer to my iphone 3gs??

    how can i transfer my apps from itunes of my computer to my iphone 3gs??

    Which apps? The iPhone apps you have selected/purchased on the iPhone App Store thru iTunes?
    Or the apps installed on the Mac?
    For the first case, simply connect the phone, start up iTunes if it doesn't do so on its own accord, click on your phone's entry on the list in the left column, select the Summary tab to make sure all is well, then click on the Sync button on the bottom edge of the screen. If you want, you can click on the Apps tab and arrange your applications how you like them prior to the sync, too.
    If the second case, no can do. iPhone apps run on iPhones, Mac apps run on Macs.

    How can I transfer an app from my computer to my iphone? I think I downloaded incorrectly and now the app won't let me download again. I find the app on my computer but I don't know how to transfer it - or if I even can.

    Thanks for any help you might be able to provide. I have searched the threads and not been able to find any help.
    My situation is this. I have an app, Stitcher, that allows me to listen to podcasts on demand via my iPhone. I use it frequently. I recently upgraded to iPhone 4, and when I did, it upgraded my app on my iPhone. Due to many dropped calls, I returned my iPhone 4 and resumed using my iPhone 3g. Now in iTunes, when I go to sync, it says that the stitcher app only works with iOS4, which I won't upgrade my 3g to because of speed issues. The only version available on the app store won't work on my phone. Also, I have a backup, but not TimeMachine, so I am not able to pull it off a backup.
    I noticed that I still have the old version on my iPad. So I deleted the app in my iTunes/Mobile Applications folder and synced, but the Stitcher app didn't reappear in my mobile app folder. Is there any way to get the app off my iPad, so I can put it on my iPhone?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ken
    Does the app show up on the App List on iTunes? If it does, then it's been saved to your iTunes folder on your hard drive. Do a search for the app, because I just don't think you can move an item from your iPad to iTunes, unless you purchased it on the iPad, which it sounds like you didn't.
    You should be able to re-download the iPad version of the app, if one exists. Contact the developer, who might be able to help out.
    But thanks for pointing out the app. Just downloaded it to my iPhone 4.
