How do I transfer registration of my MacBook to family member?

I am planning to lend my nearly 5 y/o MacBook to a family member who does not live nearby.  This is a long-term loan.  I will be doing a clean re-install of Lion before sending it to her.  However, I have the computer registered to me and want to make sure she has no hassles if she needs Genius Bar help while she is using it.  How do I transfer the registration to her name?

FWIW, if you purchased Lion at the app store, the license is not transferable; what that means is that both your machine ID (serial number) and your Apple ID are registered to that purchase. If your family member wants to update the OS because Apple issued an update, she may not be able to unless she has access to your Apple ID - which is something you do not want to share.

    how can i transfer photos from my macbook to regular USB plugged in it

    For a few photos, you can select them in the iPhoto library then drag and drop them to the USB key. This is a copy, so the originals will remain in iPhoto.
    To move the whole library, use the procedure described here:

    How can I transfer pictures from my MacBook Pro to my iPad mini please?

    If you are on iTunes 11 on your Mac then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar, which might make it easier to navigate and may instructions may make more sense.
    To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
    If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos

    How do I transfer photos from my MacBook Pro to my iMac?

    You can go into your pictures folder in your user folder on your old computer and copy the iPhoto Library file (should be fairly large) either directly to the new computer or to an external drive.  Copy the old iPhoto Library over to the new pictures folder on your new computer.  The old iPhoto Library should overwrite the iPhoto Library on your new machine.  When you fire up iPhoto on your new machine, everything should be there in the same form as it was on your old machine.

    Place the photos into iPhoto on your Mac.  Then when syncing your iPhone using iTunes, clock on the "Photos" tab behind your iPhone's summary tab and make sure the sync instructions are set correctly.

  • How do I transfer apps from my Macbook to my iphone?

    How do I transfer apps from my macbook to my iphone?

    Mac Applications do not run on iOS: iPhones, iPads, or iPod touch. And the reverse is also true.
    If the manufacturer wants to, they can port their Application to the other platform and offer it for sale there as well.
    To download IOS Applications directly to your iOS device, connect it to a WiFi Access Point. You do not need to have the version with a Phone plan. An iPad (WiFi only) will do what you desire directly, no phone plan. iPad Mini might be good for field work.

    You don't really need to, as long as the new owner knows the serial number, that's all s/he needs.  I do hope, by the way, that you have delivered the install discs along with the computer.
