I ALREADY bought iWork on my imac... [any tips on taking notes?]

i just bought a new imac a couple months ago and now i plan to buy a macbook in a couple weeks. i need Pages '08 on the macbook to take notes, but I just bought iWork for my imac.
1) is there anyway to legally transfer the program without having to buy twice?
2) better yet, i only need iWork so i can easily take notes in class, but can anyone recommend a better program to use for taking notes?

Always read the end user license agreement that flashes up when you first install your program. Usually the first or second paragraph details your installation rights. iWork may legally be installed on only one computer at a time though the program does no checking to see if you have installed it on more than one computer. Unlike some companies we can mention, Apple doesn't assume its users are criminals. The more typical license allows you to install software on more than one computer (often stated as one desktop and one notebook) but only permits you to use one computer at a time.

Already bought iWork. How do I get the App Store to recognize App purchases that I've made over the past few years?

I know I'm not the only person experiencing this issue, but I can't find who else has a solution. Essentially, I've been buying Mac Apps over the past few years and using them frequently. Now the App Store exists. Awesome. But how do I get the App Store to understand that I have all those past purchases and serial numbers? I'd love to download the Apps through the App Store because it's a better system of downloading and updating apps, but that convenience isn't worth the extra $300-400 I'd spend re-downloading all those apps.
Does anyone have any advice or experience with a work around to this?
Thanks in advance.

As Carolyn has told you, you cannot opt Apple apps that you have acquired from some other distribution stream into the MAS stream. Period. It does not work that way. It will not be working that way. And many folks have come here wanting it to work that way over the last seven months or so that the MAS has existed.
If your End User License Agreement does not allow you to install the apps that you have on your new Mac, then the only way to get it today for the new Mac is to buy it from the MAS. The MAS apps use a different type of DRM and there are no serial numbers involved, they are tied to your Apple ID. If you are not ready at this time to purchase apps from the MAS then I would remove the apps from any older Macs and install them on the new Mac to transfer your EULA there. Then when a major paid upgrade becomes available in the future opt that app into the MAS by buying it through the MAS. That should be the only way to get the app in the future, Apple no longer is issuing boxed apps, just currently selling off any of the surviving stock.

Looking for a second hand iMac - any tips please?

Hi All
Due to work I have primarily been to the dark side in the last few years, with just a Mk 1 Mac Mini for my photos and videos. Its almost crawling now, so its time for an iMac I think.
I don't want anything too crazy, but I wasn't sure what amount of RAM would be good to run Snow Leopard? I wouldn't be doing any crazy photoshop stuff, maybe a bit of HD stuff in iMovie plus the usual iTunes & iPhoto usage, but I have no idea how much Snow Leopard really needs to run smooth with a few apps open.
I run an online business and in the end I switched back to PC as I've always found Macs to be pretty slow for browsing, I'm guessing thats probably changed now?
Anyway, any help or advice would be great. I'm probably gonna look for second hand so any suggestions (eBay UK etc) would be great!
Many thanks
Mark

I'd really suggest just looking at Apple's refurb selection. Couple hundred off the top, same warranty, and you know you're going to be getting something of quality. Buy off a place like ebay, you never know what you're going to end up with. There are probably a lot of honest sellers on ebay, but it just takes one not so honest person to really ruin things for you.
And Snow Leopard actually runs pretty well on 2GB of RAM. Runs reasonably well on only 1GB actually, but 2GB gets into the fabled "butter zone". I'd suggest probably 3-4GB if you're going to be doing any kind of video editing.
So any 2009 21.5" iMac should fit the bill nicely for you.

HT2589 may I use the app that already bought for my Ipad in my new iMac

May I use the Apps that I had already bought for Ipad in my Imac

No, iPad apps do not work on Macs and Mac apps do not work on iPads. They have two different operating systems.

Can I put iworks from my imac onto my ipad?

Can somebody help me. I bought iworks for our imac and it said I could use it on three devices. Can ipad be one of the devices and how do I put it on?

No you cannot do it. The iPad and the Mac run on different operating systems. The three devices refers to computers. If you want those apps for the iPad you will have to buy them in the app store.

We just added a new printer and bluetooth connection to our iMac. Now iTunes does not recognize our iPads as devices. Have already tried restarting everything. Any other suggestions?

Is there any way that I could get pages on to my iPhone without buying it again, through the app store? I already bought the computer software.

When you open the application you will have the opportunity to select software update.
You can also go to the App store and check under Purchases and Updates and if the update still does no appear select Store > Check for unfinished downloads.
Having said all that, please do think carefully before you do upgrade. For a great many users the latest version has been a bitter disaapointment (see various other discussions here), as it has lost considerable functionality in the drive to ensure compatitbility with iOS.

I had photoshop on my hp and it stopped working, it says error 16. I already tried uninstalling and reinstalling it and nothing works. Also I just bought a Mac, is there any way i can transfer photoshop to my new computer?

Look at this guide:
Configuration error 16 | CC, CS
I don't know what version you have, but you cannot install a Windows edition on a Mac, you need the Mac edition.
If you have Photoshop CS6, you can swap it for a Mac version, otherwise you would have to purchase a full Mac version ($700) or enroll in the $10 per month Photography program from Adobe to use Photoshop CC.

If you can't get the discs, call Apple with the serial # and ask for them. They should send them to you for a reasonable charge.

If you downloaded it on your computer's iTunes then it should be in the Books part of your library, if you downloaded it on an iOS device then it should be in the Music app on it. If it's not there, and you don't have a copy of it on your backup of your library, then you will need to try contacting iTunes Support and see if they will grant you a re-download (audiobooks are currently a one-time only download from the store, which I believe is a requirement from audible.com who supply them) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Does Apple Genius change my iMac hard drive to SSD?? If i already bought a ssd ??? and just take ssd and my imac to genius and maintain my apple care??

wouldn't it make a difference if the SSD was an Apple product? And can't you order just the Apple SSD? At the local Apple store many of the geniuses won't touch it if it's a third party item.

I set up Icloud, now when I try to listen to a song on my ipone 5s it asks me if I want to "download over cellular"? and additional fees may apply. I've already bought this music, why would there be any more fees?

I bought my first Iphone - the Iphone S about a month ago. I was able to listen to music no problem. I recently figured out how to get my photos off of my phone and on to my PC, but was prompted to sign up for ICloud to do it. Now when I try to listen to music on my phone, it asks me to download it from Icloud and asks "download over cellular"? "Additional fees may apply when downloading phones over cellular". I've already bought all my music, why would there be more fees and shouldn't ICloud have mentioned this? Seems I need to take a class just to figure all this out.

The clouds you see next to your music on the device and iCloud are two different things. When your music is not on your device it is in iTunes in the Cloud. Not the same thing as iCloud which is used to sync information between devices and house backups of your device contents. So that little cloud you see next to your songs is telling you that the music is not on your device. That's why it is giving you the message - because when you click on it, it is attempting to download it to your device.
What may have happened is when you imported your photos to the PC, you may have sync'd your device via iTunes, and you did not have the Sync Music option checked in your device Profile screen.
Hook up your device to your PC and open iTunes. Make sure the sidebar is showing (Control+S if you cannot see the sidebar with Devices listed), and click on your device to open the Device Profile screens to the right. Click on the Music tab, and make sure that the Sync All Music or Sync Selected Music box is checked. If you have Sync Selected Music checked, then below that, make sure you check all music that you want on your device. Then click on SYNC at the bottom (or APPLY).
Once you have successfully sync'd your music to your device, you will no longer see the cloud next to the songs, and you also will no longer get a message since you will have the songs physically on your device and not in iTunes in the Cloud.
Cheers,
GB
