HT4461 Can I transfer my iphone aps to my new iMac?

Can I transfer my iphone purchased apps to my new iMac?

Yes, but only to store them on it; iOS applications can't be run on a computer. Having bought the iOS version of an application doesn't entitle you to download the Mac OS X version for free; the developers need to create and maintain them separately.

  • How can you transfer photos from iPod Nano to new iMac?

    My friend has an ipod nano. Here's a photo, not sure what gen. it is.
    He had a PC that no longer works and has no data left on it. His original iPod Photos were stored on that PC that no longer works.
    He has since purchased an iMac and is running Lion OS X, all up to date.
    The problem: He NO LONGER has the ORIGINAL PHOTOS, only the ones on his iPod Nano, that used to work with his PC, which no longer functions.
    He would like to copy the photos stored on his iPod Nano, to his new iMac.
    Using finder, he went to Device, then clicked PHOTOS and dragged the folder to his desktop. It said there was 1.43 GB of content.
    However, all that was saved to the desktop was (see other photo) Photo Cache, Photo Database and Thumbs. There are no photos at all. What is he doing wrong? Thanks.

    There are a number programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:
    iPodPhotoCopy Windows only
    CopyPodPhoto Windows only
    Tansee iPod Transfer Photo Windows only
    iPod Photo Liberator Mac & Windows
    TouchCopy Mac and Windows Versions (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod

  • Migration assistant stalled ( 110 hours, after 30  hours ). How else can I transfer my data from PC to new iMac without wireless migration assistant?

    i am a new mac user
    i have a new imac
    was trying to transfer data from old pc to imac using migration assistant ( wirelessly )
    i had done it once already, but i noticed that although it took about 8 hours, very little data from the c drive was actually transferred ( i had not noticed i had to designated folders to copy )
    so i did it again, targetting folders on the D drive and my external hard drive F - lots of data ( about 300 GB )
    after an hour i noticed that the estimated time for completion was 88 hours ! i did let it run for about 30 hours anyway and hoped for the best ...
    this morning when i woke up the time remaining was estimated at 42 hours, but then it suddenly jumped to 110 hours !!!
    when i came home 8 hours later, it was still at 110 hours, so i stopped it - i assumed it had crashed ...
    i got a message that one folder on my pc might have been lost - corrupted
    incredibly, after more than 30 hours, no data had actually been transferred to my new mac !!!!
    in any case, i see now that migration assistant created a new user account anyway, which i do not want
    SO
    how can i transfer data from my pc laptop to my new imac, preferrably with a direct cable connection as opposed to wireless, directly into my main account
    and i how can i delete the other account migration assistant created in the initial "successful" transfer
    thanks
    chris

    Connect an ethernet or firewire cable between the 2 Macs, Wireless is the worst way to do it (as you have found)
    Concur; however, the OP has one Mac and one PC (non-Mac). Details are in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2518
    Ah yes, forget the Firewire cable then, use ethernet.

  • Can I transfer my Iphone info to my new computer?

    Hi folks! Recently i bought Windows 7 for my laptop and i completely forgot to do a back up of my itunes library, so i have nothing in there right now. I still have everything in my iphone but i would like to know if i can transfer all my info from the iphone to the new computer (itunes)? in order to keep all my info (songs, pics, ringtones, videos and movies). If anyone knows how to do it or if its possible please let me know.
    Thanks in advance!

    First, Authorize the new computer in the iTunes store (in iTunes, Store/Authorize Computer).
    It depends on the info. Purchased tracks and apps must be transferred using File/Transfer purchases, as already stated. Ripped tracks or tracks from other sources cannot be recovered this way. There are 3rd party tools that can do this; use Google.
    Photos cannot be recovered without using a 3rd party tool (use Google to find one), and even after recovered will not have the original resolution.
    Contacts and Calendar can be recovered. First make sure there is at least one entry in the Calendar and Contact lists on the PC. Then sync; you will be asked if you want to merge. Say Yes.
    Application data on the iPhone will be backed up the first time you sync, but be sure to Transfer Purchases first.

  • How can i transfer my iphone music to a new computer?

    I have a new work computer and I want to put my iPhone music in my iTunes on that machine, but it won't let me.  Why???

    iTunes includes an option to transfer iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store from an iPod, iPad, or iPhone, but this is for iTunes content that was purchased/downloaded from the iTunes store only.
    First you need to authorize the computer with your iTunes account with iTunes. With your iPhone connected at the iTunes menu bar go to File and select Transfer Purchases From - the name of your iPhone.

    You should call Apple Support and give them your Apple ID so that they can verify how many photos you actually do have backed up in iCloud...
    Also, are you able to do an iTunes backup at all? Because that would save all of the photos and allow you to get them onto the new device.
    Apple Support number is

    Boot the G4 Mac into Target mode...

    That should make the G4 look like a big FW drive to the iMac.
