Can I transfer purchases between accounts?

I want my sister to get a new iTunes account, can I transfer purchases between accounts so that she can keep her stuff?

You can't currently transfer purchases between accounts as Apple haven't added that ability. As long as the old account remains authorised on the computer that they sync to then they should be able to continue using that music, and it will remain on their phones.
If they do create their own accounts then if they turn on automatic downloads or re-download past purchases for an account then they risk tying the phone (or computer if that is where they do it) to that account for 90 days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627

Can you transfer apps between accounts?

the title says the question

Apps are permanently tied to the account they are purchased with.
It is possible to share apps with others. Simply copy the app from one computer to another, then authorize the new computer with the appropriate Apple ID and finally sync the app to the device(s).

Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same macbook pro?

Can you transfer files between two user accounts on the same MacBook Pro?
Specifically, I used the Migration Assistant to move music and photos from my old PC to my new MacBook.
Somehow, I missed the fact that it was creating a new user account when it was doing this. So none of music and photos are in the user account I originally set-up. Instead, all these files are now in a different account.
I'd like to consolidate all my files on the one user account and delete the other one.
Is this possible and, if so, how do I do it?
Thank you.

you can crop files from one account to another using the Public Dropbox which every user account has. Log into the user that has the files you want to move, then drag the folder you want to the new users' dropbox:
I suggest a small scale test on a few files first before moving gigabytes of files.

Can I transfer photos between users on same macbook?

Can I transfer photos between users on same macbook? I've exported them out of iPhoto into a folder on desktop. Would like to move them into other User account on same laptop.

I did figure this out eventually and am going to record it here so later, when i ultimately forget the twists and turns I took to make this happen, I'll be able to come back and see....For me it was not as simple as John (above) offered...First: Export photos from iPhoto into folder on desktop. Click on the folder and select from the top left corner File - Check info- click the box beside shared folder- scroll down to Sharing & Permission and make sure the other user acccount is added to who can read & write.
If you haven't done this already go into System Preferences- Sharing- check the box beside File Sharing- click on File Sharing as well and 2 windows will appear- Shared Folders and Users. Select the shared folder you want to use and in the User window add the other user account to who can read & write.
Next: Open Finder- select Public Folder- drag photo folder into it.
Now log off and open your other User profile. Open Finder. Select Macintosh HD in the side bar- select Users Folder- select the original User profile you want your photos from- select Public Folder- your photo folder should be there, drag it onto your Desktop or directly into iPhoto. If a block occurs saying you aren't alllowed to see this folder then you missed a step in the whole file sharing business.
Viola! it worked. Hope this helps someone else

Do you have your system backed up to Time Machine? If so, you can open your user Library and copy your Mail folder from Time Machine to your Desktop on your new machine; then copy THAT folder to your new machine's user Library.
To get to your user Library, open Finder and Go and press the Option key. Library will show up. Click on it to get into your user Library. Now go into Time Machine and you should see your user Library for Time Machine. Restore the Mail folder to your Desktop.

I am a bit of a computer/Internet/iTunes dummy....
I am concerned about the health of my current computer but have not yet made the commitment to a new one, but:
1) How can I transfer my iTunes account to a new computer when I get one...
and
2) What can I do if my current computer suddenly implodes and I have not yet 'copied/'saved'/otherwise protected my account, as is? -- I have already had my computer crash once and had one of your people help me restore all of the paid for songs (none of the uploaded from my own collection of CD songs, of course, so I had to spend a long time rebuilding that) -- and I believe I was told you could only help me recover that material one or two times altogether, no?
WithOUT purchasing a Mach or iCloud (I actually think I have one of the later, but rarely have checked it) account, is there anything I can do to responsibly protect my account?
Thanks for any time taken on this!!!

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.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data 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 then 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.

I understand what your seeking, that is why I posted that link which also contains other links with further information. Please take some time to read through them.
Here is a link with Adobe verbiage and an Adobe Staff response in the thread I referenced you…

Here is another link from the thread I previously posted as well…
Creative Cloud Activating and Deactivating
http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/activation-deactivation-products.html
So I would say "unlimited" based on the information provided by Adobe. Of course given all the connectivity and activation issues being posted in the forums regularly, just keep in mind then that during the process you might run into temporary technical trouble. But if all goes well technically, then yes you should be able to activate and deactivate as many times as you want, whenever you want as long as you don't exceed the two computer maximum and abide by the usage terms etc. It's a rather cumbersome approach but is a perhaps cheaper option short of signing up for a team subscription.
Hope that's helpful to your inquiry.

On your imac can you share documents between accounts?

on your imac can you share documents between accounts? If I work on a Pages document can another account see that document and ber able to work on it?

If you want to copy the file between users you can use the Public folder in your home directories. If you put something in the Public folder other users can see it and copy it out if they want to send something to you they can copy it into your Public/Drop Box folder.
If you both want to be able to work on the same document you could use the /Users/Shared folder which is read/write for all users.

Hi poetryplease,
Unfortunately, there is no Creative Cloud connection between CS3 and Revel. You can upload your images that you have edited, etc, in Photoshop from your desktop into Revel or download your Revel images to your desktop then open in Photoshop.

What is the easiest way to transfer preferences between accounts?

In my living room, I have a MacBook Pro that I use as a media center of sorts (it's nice not having to use the TV as a display when it's not wanted). I've been using it logged into my admin account, but recently I enabled FileVault2 encryption because of a job requirement (the laptop belongs to my employer), and so automatic login has been disabled. Not only Elana, but the babysitters use it, so I'm thinking that I need to create a standard account for them. The problem is that I have iTunes music library, EyeTV, and other settings associated with that admin account (although the music and videos themselves reside on an external FireWire hard disk).
I can't change that admin account to a standard account can I? If not, how can I easily transfer the settings and even have the music shared between the two accounts?

You could just create a new Admin account and then change the other back to standard. However, you would have to disable filevault, wait for it to decrypt, then enable it again so you could give that new account the ability to decrypt the hard drive.
But, you're gonna have to do that anyway for whatever account you create. There doesn't appear to be a way to enable new users to decrypt the hard drive. It has to be set up when you encrypt: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4790

How can I transfer the root account on my computer to a regular account?

Not sure if this in the correct category, but anyway...
Back in October 2010, I installed a Java update or something on my regular account, and it broke the account for some reason. I had no other account to use except for the root user that I enabled previously (just for testing). I logged into it and used it as my regular account, checking every so often to check if my regular account fixed itself. Sadly, it didn’t (at the time), but after a while, I upgraded my computer to Snow Leopard (I was previously running Leopard), I found that my old account finally fixed itself. Immediately, I attempted to copy over all of my files from the root account to the other account. I went onto the account, and it seemed to be a fresh account, so I assumed that it didn’t register the account files as legitimate and I guess it made it into a new account. I gave up after fiddling with it for a bit. To this day, I’m still using the root user as my main account, but a lot of things are broken (like Spotlight, Mail search, some other things) and I’d just like to know a clean way I could easily transfer all of the stuff from the root user to my old account (including all of the Library files and such). Please don’t say “You shouldn’t have used the root user because it’s really dangerous,” or whatever. I’ve been responsible with it for almost 2 years and I don’t think I could’ve done anything else. Thanks for any help.

Its doable with Terminal. Log into your new userfolder in the /Users/ folder and open Terminal and say:
whoami
This is the owner of your newly transferred files.
Log into your root account and Launch Terminal. You will use the scp (secure copy) command to copy your files over to the new userfolder, replacing PathToNewFolder with the path to your new folder:
cd /PathToNewFolder
scp -r /private/var/root/* .
The copied files will all have ownership of root account, so you will then set ownership of all the files to your new username that you remember from above, replacing "NewName" with your new username:
$USER=NewName
find . -exec chown $USER:admin {} \;
find . -type d -exec chmod 750 {} \;
find . -type f -exec chmod 640 {} \;
chmod 755 Library
find Library -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find Library -type f -exec chmod 600 {} \;
chmod 755 Library/Autosave\ Information Library/Application\ Support Library/Keychains Library/Application\ Support/Terminal
chmod 644 Library/Preferences/QuickTime\ Preferences Library/Keychains/* Library/Favorites/* Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.cache Library/Caches/com.apple.preferencepanes.searchindexcache
chmod 755 Public ~/Sites
chmod 733 Public/Drop\ Box
find Sites -type d -exec chmod 755 {} \;
find Sites -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;
Then you can login to your new account with all your stuff hopefully intact. If anything doesn't work respond here and it can be fixed.

Transfer app between accounts

*THE ISSUE:* I used Migration Assistant to transfer all my files and applications from my Mac Mini to my new MacBook Pro. In the process I created a separate user account for the imported content, so as not to lose the apps installed on the MacBook under a username duplicated on both computers.
The migration was successful, but now I have applications (such as Postbox) under the MacBook Pro user account that do not appear when I switch to the migrated Mac Mini user account. My goal is to transfer all the new MacBook Pro apps and docs into the migrated Mac Mini user account now on the MacBook Pro, and then to delete the redundant account)
*THE QUESTION:* How can i transfer an app (and all related files) from one user account to another user account on the same computer?
Thanks!

You don't have to. All users can access applications in the Applications folder unless they were installed by another user via Drag and Drop or have been restricted in a managed account.
For the former just change the permissions on an inaccessible application:
1. Select the application. Press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. At the bottom is the pane for Ownership and Sharing.
2. The correct settings should be:
Owner=system with r/w privileges
Group=wheel with read-only privileges
Everyone is read-only
If the owner is a username then you need to change the permissions as follows.
3. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter:
sudo chown -R root:wheel
Put a space after "wheel" then drag the icon of the application into the Terminal window. Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not be echoed. Press RETURN again.
If you have more than one application whose permissions need to be changed then select all of them and drag them into the Terminal window instead of just the one.
For the latter if the other user account is a Standard or Managed account, then you have to assign what applications that user can access via Parental Controls preferences or change the account to an admin account.
