How do I move apps from an old mac to a new one

I am purchasing a new Macbook Pro after having my old one for six years. I have numerous apps that I have purchased and downloaded over the years. I don't want to loose them and really don't want to have to purchase them again. Can I and how can I move apps from my old Mac to my new one?

Be sure you back your current system up BEFORE you do anything. If you use Time Machine, migration assistant works well.

    There is no need to "buy" appliclations again.  You can backup your old phone to iCloud and restore the backup to the new phone.  You can also re-download them for free from the App Store.

Safari cache (i.e. saved passwords for web sites)?  Will those transfer?

  • What's the best way to move apps from an old iphone to a new one?

    I just got the iPhone 4S and am having difficulties figuring out how to restore the backup from my old 3Gs.  When I first plugged it in all of my contacts, calendar and email migrated just fine.  (All except for my mobileme email for some reason it defaults all mobileme email adresses as .mac.  Which is silly consider many of us have .me)  Anyway...  I've plugged in the old phone and backed it up.  I've tried to restore the new phone with the old backup, but it doesn't seem to be working.  How do I get all of the apps I have purchased on to the new phone?

    Use an ethernet cable to connect the two computers, and set up file sharing. After that copying files from one computer to the other is exactly like copying from one hard drive to another:

  • How do i move Itunes from my old computer to my new one?

    Trying to move Itunes account from old computer to new one.  Am not sure if I install Itunes on new computer will it then allow me to log in and obtain my already purchased games/music or will i lose from old to new computer?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • How do I move music from my old IPhone to a new one?

    My old music is from CD's that I own.  I put them on my phone a couple years ago thru Itunes with no problem.  Now it seems that Itunes will only let me add music to my phone if I buy it from them. 

    I'm using a PC, not a Mac.  My system is using Wi-Fi.  And like I say, using ITunes there is no way to upload my music to my IPhone.  Clicking on devices only gives me the option to Sync, and restore.  I've even tried backing up the old phone, which has the same name as the new one, and then restoring it to the new phone but it won't move the music to the new phone.  I checked out the ITunes Match.  Now I'm not a real bright guy but it looks like Apple wants me to pay them $25 a year to listen to my own music on my own phone.  I mean, it's not like I'm stealing anything.  I paid for the phone and I paid for the music.  Why should I have to pay them to sisten to it? 

  • HT201269 How do I transfer apps from my old iphone to my new one?

    I just got an iPhone 5.  I had done a backup of my iPhone 3GS.  After restoring to the new phone I do see my pictures and contacts but I'm missing all of my apps.
    How do I transfer the apps?

    Are the apps in itunes on your computer?
    The backup does not contain any itunes content.  You should always make sure that everything is on your computer. If you have failed to do this, then you will need to redownload the apps.  Open itunes store on your computer, click Purchased under Quick Links

  • How can I transfer files from an old Mac onto my new one?

    As outlined on this thread, I am trying to get data from my 1995 Performa 630 to my recently delivered MacBook Pro.  All suggestions gratefully received.
    Also, are ClarisWorks files instantly readable by modern office software, or do I need to save in RTF or some other format, first, on the older machine?

    Hi...
    Your new MacBookPro has Mac OS X Lion v10.7.x installed on an Intel processor and cannot open or read ClarisWorks files as such.
    However, you may be able to reformat to RTF >  AppleWorks: Document Recovery Techniques
    The issue is going to be migrating files since you can't use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac

    Are you sure of that?  Check in the Library.  Click on the Apps icon to see all apps.  Similarly click on the Music icon to see the songs.

  • I have bought a new Mac Book Pro, and I need to know how I can move Aperture from my old Mac Book to the new one..

    I have bought a new Mac Book Pro, and I need to know how I can move Aperture from my old Mac Book to the new one..

    It begins with: F-285-NER-151-QBQ-and continues with 5 more 3 or 4 letters/numbers..
    Yes, that is the number. And what version of Aperture have you installed? The same version as on your old Mac?
    But it don´t work on my new Mac...
    In what way does it not work? Does it require you to enter a licence number for Aperture 2 as well? That will be necessary, if your serial number is an upgrade serial number. Then you will have to enter all previous numbers as well.
    Or does Aperture not accept the number as correct? Then check the spelling; some letters are easily confused like "I" and "1" and "O" and "0". Do not use the number pad to enter the numbers.
    See: Troubleshooting Professional Application Serial Numbers

  • How do i move apps from my iPhone 3GS to my new 4S?

    how do i move apps from my iPhone 3GS to my new 4S?

    To backup your phone (3GS), plug it to your PC, when Itunes opens up, you will see your phone on the left hand side, right click on it and do a back up. 
    When you set up your 4S it will ask if you want to restore as new/ from a backup from Itunes or icloud.   Select restore from back up then plug your phone to your PC and then let Itunes back up your phone.
