How can I transfer my app store purchases from one account to another?

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.

You can't do it yourself. If you've just redeemed it and not spent any of it then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can move it the other account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Selling/transfering app-store purchases from one user to another?

I purchased iPhoto 2011 for my old macbook, then sold that macbook to a friend and bought a new macbook that has iPhoto 2011 already installed as a part of iLife. Can I 'sell' or 'give' that app-store purchased copy of iPhoto 2011 to the guy who bought my old mac?

That would be a violation of the MAS's End User License Agreement. And he would need for you to visit him every time that there was an update for iPhoto. The version that you got from the MAS is registered to you and only you can update it through the MAS.
You should likely also forget the free version of iPhoto that came with the new MacBook and download and install the MAS version that you bought so that you can continue to receive the updates that will be available for iPhoto in the future through the MAS.

How do I transfer an App store purchase from my MacBook to my iPad-WITHOUT an Internet connection?

I live on a boat in an anchorage. My iPad won't connect to the wifi in the anchorage; my MacBook Pro, with an external radio, will make the connection (sometimes). I want to purchase a couple of apps from the App Store and download them to my computer. I won't be able to connect the iPad to the Internet--ever--but I can of course connect it via USB to the MacBook Pro. Can I
- purchase the apps from the App store
- download the apps to my MacBook Pro
- disconnect the MacBook from the Internet (it costs about $1 per minute for my connection)
- sync the iPad to the MacBook
- transfer the newly purchased apps from the computer to the iPad
Just a reminder--I _can't_ connect the iPad, ever, to the Internet. The signal just won't reach that far. I don't want to take either the computer or the iPad on a (wet) dinghy ride to try to get close enough to the wifi hotspot for the iPad to connect (maybe). Both the iPad and the MacBook Pro are registered to the same ITunes account, but there isn't any way to connect the iPad to iTunes central for their servers to confirm this--only the MacBook Pro can be connected.
I also don't want to erase any info on the iPad--I have waypoints, navigation info, documents, etc., stored in various apps. Do I have to sync first to avoid losing this data? (Hope it's not cloudy tomorrow and those solar panels will be pulling some amps!)
Thanks,
Sue
PS--I have OS 10.6.8 and iTunes 11.0.1 on the MacBook; iOS 6.0.1 on the iPad.

Yes, you should be able to buy/download apps from the iTunes app store on your Mac and then sync them to the iPad - neither the iPad nor the Mac should need to be connected to the internet to sync the apps over to the iPad
If the iPad hasn't been synced to that computer before then you may find this page useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

Can I transfer iTunes/App store purchases from 1 Apple ID to another? I have recently parted from my partner, everything was purchased under his but I now want to move it all to mine. Is this possible?

Please help.

On the premise that an application is irrevocably tied to an Apple ID it was purchased from, I want to pose another scenario similar to the original question of this post.
A small business purchased a Mac for a specific purpose. Given that no one in the business is savvy enough for Mac systems, they hire a consulting IT. IT then sets up the Mac and all the apps that came with it (and here's where the problem starts) under his Apple ID. Now that the IT consultant no longer services the business, he takes with him the rights for two apps, specifically iPhoto and iMovies, at the business' expense. He also needs to remove the Mac that's tied to his Apple ID but that's only secondary issue as admin rights on the device was retained. Two generations of OS X's later, with the current update Yosemite, those two programs are now inoperable. One might suggest to call back the IT and update the programs himself but that's beside the point. Terms and conditions were set to protect these apps from unlawful sharing, but in this case, an application was purchased by a user not using his own finances.
It's no longer a question on whether we could move an application from one Apple ID to another but I wish Apple can find a way to protect their consumers from unethical practices such as this.
Thank you.

How can I transfer my iTunes Media Library from one PC to another without losing files and making a mess of the file and album structure?

I have imported a number of Café del Mar CD's to iTunes, and iTunes keeps scattering the tunes into several different folders in iTunes Media. It also has trouble finding album information, unless it has been downloaded from iTunes Store. Previous versions of iTunes I have tried didn't have this problem.
I've tried to tidy the files manually in iTunes Media, but that usually results in duplicates, so I stopped messing with it. I actually wouldn't mind iTunes blowing up my albums into a nightmare file structure of hyper categorization in iTunes Media (Album, Album Artist, Artist, etc.) if only it recognised its own mess when I transfer the library from one iTunes library into another.
An example: I downloaded Cafe del Mar - Essential Elements featuring 13 tunes, two of these can be found in the files Cafe del Mar/Cafe del Mar Essential Elements, iTunes also created the folder Cafe del Mar/Cafe del_Mar Essential Elements containing 0 tunes!?! and the rest of the tunes are found under Rue de Soleil in the root folder, indicating ONE of the artists as the criteria for creating a folder of tunes!?!
I am trying with every fiber NOT to hate this program, and would appreciate it if someone could explain to me how I can move an iTunes Media library of aprox 54 gb from my desktop via an external harddisk onto my laptop. I have tried 4 times, and everytime the result varies. Sometime I transfer 3000 files, other times 4000. Which files follow and don't is random. I lose files tranferring to the external harddisk and lose even more files from the external disk to the new library on my Lap. Do I have to transfer song for song or can this genius program actually transfer a larger amount of files without losing half the files and duplicating the rest?
Is there a limit of size or amount of files?

Backup with this User Tip, restore the library to the new computer using the same tool, keep the backup up-to-date in future. Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer need to access protected content on it.

How can I transfer a pre-installed licence from one PC to another?

I have an old laptop that was purchased pre-installed with Photoshop Elements (looks like both version 7 and 9) but the laptop is on it's last legs and is about to be consigned to the scrapheap.
I have purchased a new replacement laptop and want to transfer the licence from the old one to the new one. I have searched the Adobe web site and have found and downloaded the installation files for both PE 7 and 9 but they naturally ask for serials during the install process. Because the original laptop had the software preinstalled there was no dvd or e-mail with the licence key. How can I interrogate the old laptop to find my key?
Thanks

How can I transfer or make readable files from one user to another on the same iMac

I have migrated files from a windows PC to my Imac. The transferred files have been saved successfully against a new user (which I can access). How can I make those files available to the all users of my Imac?

In FINDER, drag and drop the files into the Public Folder. All Users can then access those files.
Hope this helps

How can I transfer contents of hard drive from one iMac to another,

Hi
I have two iMacs (older G3 CRT) both are running OSX 10.2.8.
I want to copy the contents of the hard drive on iMac "A' to the hard drive of iMac "B". Can I do this,,, How can this be accomplished ??

Hi Everyone
Ok,,, here is my update, I was able to download finally Carbon Copy Cloner, but it will not even launch because the BSD module is missing on my iMac #1, it seems that I need to install this file from the original OSX disk which happens to be at work. OK, then I tried SuperDuper, it installed fine, then I read the instruction PDF, but when I went to make the copy onto the iMac #2, ( I did start it in Firewire mode, connected it via firewire to iMac #1
and the drive mounted fine on the desktop) BUT for some reason Super Duper won't allow the copying of files.
SO< then I stupidly just copied the entire contents of the hard drive on iMac #1 to the hard drive of iMac #2, which was mounted on the desktop of iMac #1. Then when all the files copied, I ejected the mounted drive, disconnected the Firewire cable and started imac #2, But iMac #2 would not boot up, I repaired it's disk permissions by once again starting in Firewire wire mode and using the disk utility on iMac #1 to repair the mounted drive of iMac #2), Then I disconneted the cable and started iMac #2, but still no boot up, just the little flashing file icon.. I also reset the PRAM on startup but still nothing. Any ideas, I can wait until Monday and do a clean install of OSX from my original disk, but was hoping there was something I can until then. And, of course, I;m still seeking a solution to getting all the programs, dats amd files from the hard drive on iMac #1 copied over to iMac #2,,, Any other ideas would be appreciated.<br>

How can I transfer some books and music from one ipad to another without having to sync and erase the lot?

I am trying to transfer some music and books from my ipad to my mothers ipad. I am using a laptop that I have had to install itunes onto. When I sselect the music I want to put onto my mothers ipad I get the message 'are you sure want to sync this ipad to this computer as it will erase all date on the ipad and replace it with this'...well something to that effect anyway.
When I plug my ipad into it it also states that syncing will erase all data and replace it with what is on itunes as my ipad is linked to another computer (im in Hobart and my usual computer is in brisbane)
Is there a simple way for me to add music and books on a usb stick to mothers ipad without having to lose everything taht she currently has on there?
Any advice is greatly appreciated
Cheers

How can I transfer my saved text messages from one phone to another?

I have a Blackberry Curve 9320 and recently it began malfunctioning, so I have been sent a replacement of the same model. My problem is that I can transfer things like photos and contacts easily enough but I want to know if there's a way of keeping the text messages that I'd saved on the previous phone and putting them on the new one, any ideas?

How can I transfer my playlists, ratings, etc. from one pc to another?

After scouring the posts here for a couple of hours, I'm not sure I have the answer I need for my situation.
I just purchased a 300 GB external HDD on which I have been extracting my CD collection. I want to share this drive between my main desktop pc, for everyday use, and my laptop, for entertaining.
The problem is, while I can easily share the songs between my two computers, I can't seem to share the playlists, ratings, classifications, etc. that I so scrupulously work on.
Is there a way of doing this?

If you cannot see the ‘My Music’ folder within
the
TweakUI drop-down selection, proceed on to the
following:
1 On the start menu go to ‘Run’
2 Type in RegEdit
3 Navigate in RegEdit to
HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVe
rsion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
4 Delete any entry for ‘My Music’
Curiously, there is no entry for My Music in this
panel. I don't know why. Maybe that's the problem?
5 Navigate up the tree to
HKEYCURRENTUSER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVe
rsion\Explorer\Shell Folders
6 Make sure there is an entry for ‘My Music’ and
is
pointing to C:\Documents and
Settings\[username]\My
Documents\My Music (you can edit the value by
double
clicking it)
7 Close RegEdit
8 Reboot
iTunes &/or TweakUI should now be able to find the
folder.
Don't know if it will work on Win2000. But it's
the
only thing I have in my 'bag-o-tricks'.
Best of Luck
I will try this perhaps tomorrow. I'm a little afraid
of screwing it up. For now, the workaround seems to
work. Thank you so much for your help. I'll try
tomorrow and let you know if I succeed.
Hi Buegi,
This procedure didn't seem to work. I think the level of tinkering is a little beyond me. In any case, the workaround solution of copying the .itl and .xml library files and placing them in my laptop each time a change is made is an effective and fairly easy solution. It's only downfall is that it's not "automatic." However, this is a small inconvenience in exchange for the great benefit of transporting my customized library data between computers.
So, I will consider this issue resolved.
Many, many thanks.

How can i transfer a iphoto book created on one mac to another mac.

how can i transfer an iphoto book created on one mac to another mac. i am aware of pdf saving but it doesn't help! need to see the iphoto book on other mac.
and how can i view in slide-show double pages instead of single pages?
anybody has an idea?

Stephan:
If you want to be able to view the book with iPhoto on the other Mac you'll have to copy the library containing the book to the other Mac. You won't be able to import that book into the other library.
Make a duplicate copy of the library containing the book and rename the folder "Book Library". Open it with iPhoto and delete all of the files that are not in the book. Then copy the Book Library folder to the other Mac and open. You can also burn the Book Library folder to a CD as a way to archive the book in case you decide to order another copy at a later date. I create a separate library for each book I create and order and archive it to CD when I've ordered.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
