How to backup Apps on a Mac?

I need to send in my Storm 9530 for repair, if not replacement. I can back up data, but the apps I downloaded from various sites are not backed up.
How do I back this up? I can't find any info on how to do this on a Mac... 

DMFM does not support third party app backup....so you either need to use bootcamp or pc windows version.

    Connect your device to the same itunes you generally sync to.  For the device, in the Summary tab, there is a button for performing a backup to the mac.

  • Just purchased refurb Macbook - How to backup apps

    The Macbook seller did not provide an OS disk, it also has iWork installed. I want to back up the apps (in case of drive failure or catastrophic event). How do I back up the apps (and preserve install settings to avoid repurchasing the software)?

    You'll want to have an external hard drive, and either use Time Machine (OS X 10.5 or newer) for backup, or make a clone of your hard drive using SuperDuper! or CCC.  I use, and recommend, hard drives from OWC as many of their cases use Oxford chipsets, which work well with macs.

  • How to backup and restore working Mac OS 9 computer ?

    I have a working G4 running OS 9.0, and I would like to backup and restore that hard disk to a second G4 computer that is OS 9 bootable.
    I have a CD backup taken by Toast v4, of the entire disk, but I do not know how to restore the contents to the second computer. My previous attempt hosed the hard disk inside the second computer.
    I'm thinking I can boot up the second computer via cd-rom or external hard disk, but I'm not sure I can copy the contents from the cd-rom correctly. In particular, I'm guessing the boot sector is challenging to restore.
    I probably have some old OS 9 cd-roms around here, if I need to go that route.
    I've thought about removing the working hard disk, and using dd on a linux machine to make a clone of the drive. I'd prefer not to go that route, as I don't want to touch working hardware.
    I've also thought about hooking up a portable USB disk drive to my working OS 9 machine, and doing some sort of cloning. I'm not sure what program I would need to do that, and whether it's part of the OS 9 suite of tools, or a 3rd party tool. I used to own some various disk tools, but it's been so long I'm not sure I can find the cd's.
    So if anybody can point to some instructions on the net for me to follow, or have any suggestions, I'm all ears.
    Thanks

    If the second computer originally shipped supporting a newer OS 9.x
    system than the first 9.0, the other computer's OS9 version probably
    won't work since it would be too old. In the case of drag and drop,
    you can get away with a lot more than what an installer package may
    allow, since the installer's software can be avoided with Pacifist. So
    another computer's OS9.2.2 basic system could be used as a boot
    volume even if it is sparse and not the fully complemented OS 9.2.2
    that a full retail build would install from a rich full retail install disc.
    Usually the retail path was an OS 9.2.1 retail and the update to 9.2.2;
    but machines requiring OS 9.2.2 won't like a 9.2.1. Sometimes, since
    a drag and drop is not driven by installer software, you can use older.
    But machine specific bits, some critical for graphic card drivers & etc,
    would be likely missing unless the software used offered that support.
    If you can find one of these, it may work = note, out of stock:
    691-3638-A Apple G3/G4 9.2.2 (CD) System Software
    {This is a Mac OS 9.2.2 full installation CD, color Grey.}
    These do not come in retail packaging.

    Have fun, even if it isn't exactly as planned.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How to backup apps and music from an iphone 3g using itunes 11

    Hi, my godson has been using an iPhone 3G as an iPod for music and gaming apps. I want to give him my iPhone 4 (not a 4S) and I have iTunes 11 (registered with my appleID) on my Win8 laptop. I've done a Backup of the 3G and then restored to the 4, the settings and photos "transferred" with the Restore operation, but the apps and music didn't "transfer." How do I backup (all apps and music and photos,etc.--everything on the 3G--to the iPhone 4 using iTunes 11. I think I could have done it easily with older versions of iTunes (with the "Explorer" bar on the left side of iTunes), but I can't seem to figure out how to do it with iTunes 11.
    Thanks!

  • How to backup apps

    Background: My 3G iPhone was backed up to my MacBook Pro. My laptop was stolen. I have access to another Mac so I can make backups before I purchase a new MacBook Pro, however…
    Problem: I'm able to back up photos, calendar, contacts, podcasts, etc. I haven't been able to back up music because it says it will erase it all. That is not the problem, since all my music was backed up to an external HD. The problem is the apps. iTunes warns me that it will erase all my apps if I try to sync. I have held off on syncing since the theft. Now, I desperately need to sync and backup my iPhone since I will be purchasing an iPhone 4 in the next few days. I don't want to lose all the apps I've purchased. Is there a way to get the apps off the iPhone so I can sync them up to the new iPhone without having to repurchase them all. Salesman says the 3G and 4 use different memory cards, so nothing can be transferred over. Please help.

    All iPhones prior to the iPhone 4 use a regular sized SIM card. The iPhone 4 uses a micro-SIM card, which has nothing whatsoever to do with syncing, transferring data, or your problem.
    All iTunes content on your iPhone - all music, movies, tv shows, AND 3rd party apps should be in your iTunes library on your computer. All 3rd party apps on your iPhone would be in your iTunes library if you had Sync Apps selected under the Apps tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes on the computer that was stolen, which should have been selected. With this selected, after downloading an app with your iPhone, the app will be copied to your iTunes library automatically the first time you sync your iPhone with iTunes after doing so. This also allows for downloading an app with iTunes on your computer and installing the app on your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, and for removing an app from your iPhone without deleting the app by deselecting the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync. To reinstall the app again later on your iPhone, reselect the app under the Apps tab followed by a sync.
    The sync process for music is a one way transfer process only.
    Since the apps on your iPhone are not in your iTunes library, with your iPhone connected and without syncing, at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone. This will transfer all apps and anything else on your iPhone that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store to the iTunes library on the computer being used that is not currently in that iTunes library. The computer being used must be authorized with your iTunes account with iTunes if not already authorize before doing this.
    Alternatively, you can re-download 3rd party apps and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally. Not the same with purchased music, movies, and tv shows, which can be downloaded once.

  • How to backup Notes without a Mac?

    Is there a way to backup just my Notes that are on my iPhone 3G?
    I don't have a Mac but I do have MobileMe.

    You need Outlook 2003 or 2007 to sync notes with.

  • How to purchase app on used mac

    I purchased a previously owned mac air.  It had garageband installed.  It will not let me upgrade (b/c I don't own the prior apple ID).  How do I purchase it for myself?

    This will occur with all the apps from the App Store including OS X. The machine needs to be wiped, then you need to install OS X from the original media or the App Store so it's registered to your Apple ID. As for any apps you will need to re-purchase them using your Apple ID.
    iWork and iLife for Mac come free with every new Mac purchase. Existing users running Mavericks can update their apps for free from the Mac App Store℠. iWork and iLife for iOS are available for free from the App Store℠ for any new device running iOS 7, and are also available as free updates for existing users. GarageBand for Mac and iOS are free for all OS X Mavericks and iOS 7 users. Additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available for a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 for each platform.
    The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.

  • How to get apps from old mac to new

    Hi
    I recently bought an imac for home. I also have a macbook pro for work and my iphone was linked with this mac. However I recently formatted the phone and linked it to my home mac. How do I get all of my old apps (purchased and free etc) that are on my work macbook pro onto my home imac to sync onto my phone again?
    Many thanks
    Chris

    You need to connect the iMac and the MacBook together and copy the iTunes library from your laptop to your new iMac. That will bring over all of your music, books and apps. To copy photos you can copy your iPhoto library over to the new iMac as well.
    You might also want to Authorize your new iMac. Do this in the iTunes menu.
    When you next connect your iphone to your iMac you will see all of your stuff there.

  • How to move app from old mac to new

    I just got myself new mac,but thinking how easy i can move my applications only without redownloading and installing from diffrent places i got them..also it will take me alot of time...anyway to move those apps with there registration key from the old mac?
    I wish to move only the apps and the setting i have made to them before....

    When you set up the new Mac, it will offer the opportunity to migrate all your old data from the other one.
    Lots of people skip that step, but you can run it any time. Find the program called "Migration Assistant".
    It is in the Utilities folder and contains instructions on how to connect the two. All your registration keys etc. will be copied.
    Beware that Power PC apps will not run with Lion. This is important. If you don't know the implications of that then write back.
    Migration Assistant might take a while to complete - several hours is not unusual.

  • How to move apps from old mac to new mac?

    Hi, probably a question you all heard before...
    But how can I move my apps from my old mac to my new mac?
    Thanks

    Hi Dirrek, welcome to Discussions!
    See this KB article about Target Disk Mode:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8443.html
    Although if it was me, I'd rather reinstall them from on my new Mac.
    Depends on which software it is: for example some old versions are not supported anymore on Snow Leopard.

  • How to share apps on 2 Macs with the same Apple ID ?

    Hi,
    I got a new iMac (2013 - Mavericks), and I gave my old one (2010 - Lion) to my husband. I've downloaded some new games on the Apple Store with my Apple ID for my new Mac, and it works fine. But when my husband wants to install them on his Mac, when he types the password for my Apple ID, it doesn't work, it says "wrong user/password"...
    It seems that once I've activated my Apple ID on my new Mac, it prevented the old one to use it ?? The Home Sharing is turned on, but apparently it only concerns iTunes (music, etc), but not the NEW apps from the App Store. Everything new on my Mac can't be shared with the old Mac.
    What can I do ? We don't want to create a new Apple ID for my husband, because we don't want to lose what there is already on his old Mac (we use the same music, games, apps, etc).
    Thanks for your help.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If we means 2, then you are best keeping seperate accounts. What you need to do is share photo stream albums with the other.

  • How to copy apps to new Mac Pro?

    Is there an easy way to copy the applications from my G4 to my new Mac Pro? It would be nice if at least some of them can be moved over along with the user licenses.

    If they are Universal Binary and can be just dragged to /Applications you are probably fine, but if they use an installer, then only migrate your home account folder and install fresh. Good to collect and keep all your software downloads and updates in one place.
    PPC and Intel are different operating systems and support libraries, at least with Tiger, and can cause anything from sluggish weird performance to downright nasty.

  • How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased from the ibook store.

    How can I get the iBook app on my Mac to backup ePubs I created with Pages on my iPad? Only seems to want to work with purchased books from the ibook store. The problem is, once I create a document in Pages and turn it into an ePub to be opened in iBooks, I delete the document in Pages, because I don't need two copies taking up space on my iPad. Before Maverick, iTunes would backup everything in my iBook app on my iPad. If something ever happened to my iPad, all of my created ePubs would be lost and I would be screwed. I suppose I could keep everything on Pages and go to iCloud and download my documents to my Mac, but that is a lot of steps. I may have to do that if there is no other way, but I am hoping someone will have the answer for me. Pretty disappointed in iBooks app for Mac at this point.

    iBooks only syncs purchased books. Others must be synced in iTunes.

  • How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?

    How do I download an app from the Mac App Store but not install it yet?
    Can I simply download it and not install?
    What if the App gets updated before I download it?
    Why? Well, I am very busy and wish to install at my leisure even though I have purchased the App (required at a specific day in the month in order to appear on my business accounts).
    Thanks.

    There is a difference in what Kappy stated and what you stated. A major paid upgrade (v2.x to v3.0), yes, costs money, as it would in any other delivery stream. Updates (v3.0 to v3.1) to a a major version are free.
    Most apps sold through the Mac App Store (MAS) are the type that use the simple drag & drop installation. Those are downloaded directly to the designated apps folder and installation is done. Large pro-type apps download an installer to your Apps folder. Those you can install at your leisure. The MAS does not have a lot of apps using this type of installation.
    Be sure to always backup your MAS purchases, because there is no guarantee that the app will always be available for download in the future and it is your responsibility to archive copies.
