It may be that if you already bought the iPad versions using your iTunes account, you get a discount on the Mac versions? (That's just a guess - it applies with FileMaker, but I don't know if it does with iWork).
There is no discount for one version of the iWork apps due to owning the other version.

Can't transfer files to my New iMac!
Just got by brand spanking new iMac Intel 20" today. I have a iMac G4 flat panel. I started up the new mac, connect it to my old machine through a firewire cable, restarted the old machine into firewire mode (holding down T) and began the process. About halfway through and both machines froze up. I rebooted each machine and tried again.... two more times. Same result.
Please help! Don't wanna have to drag two machines to the Apple Store!When you do this kind of migration it is different than the past. In the past it was PPC OS X to PPC OS X. But this transfer is PPC OS X to Universal OS X.
I think folks have been more successful with limited transfers and maybe in smaller batches. I suggest doing a migration of just your use account first; personal data and settings. Then after you know that the new user account is up and running go to Apps/Utilities (on the new computer) and open the Migration Assistant again and transfer your photo collection. After you know that the photos are transfered successfully do it again and transfer your music collection, then your video collection, etc.
I would not transfer program software at all. I would do fresh installs of each program from the software CD/DVD and make sure that I know it has installed successfully and that it runs with no conflicts, one program at a time. There are some known conflicts. Do not install Version Cue from Adobe CS2. If you install Adobe Acrobat, immediately download and install the recently issued update from Adobe. Don't transfer any Apple apps. You shouldn't need to because everything from the PPC OS X Tiger 10.4 has been written and installed on the new Mac in Universal OS X Tiger 10.4.
It may take a little longer, but so does all this grief and trouble shooting when we try to go too fast with too much and it fails.

Can't transfer purchases to my new iMac?
I have just purchased an iMac. I currently use a PC based laptop to sync my iPad. I am trying to transfer purchases onto the iMac so I can use this as the main iTunes account. in my iTunes account it account tells me I only have two computers authorised yet when i try to transfer my purchases I get an error message. I have changed the names to xxx
Some of the purchased items on the iPad “xxxxx”, including “xxxxx”, could not be transferred to your iTunes library because you are not authorized for them on this computer.
Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?
I then go through the process of authorising the computer again.
ITunes then tells me that the computer is already authorised.
Then I click OK, then I get:
This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPad “JUrie’s iPad”. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?
what am I doing wrong??Hi Neil and Kappy,
You were both right. Kappy, completely forgot I changed my account name several months ago and Neil you showed me the way!
So do I now erase and then sync the iPad again with one of the accounts?

I have Final Cut Pro and various Adobe programs on my Imac. I will need to get a Macbook in the next few months and need to know if I can share these programs between the 2 computers or will I have to buy them for the Macbook. I bought my Imac used on Ebay with the programs already installed on it. I do not have any discs for the programs. I am new to computing and completely tech illiterate.
Thanks for your help.You need to buy them.
Software which came on disks can't be reinstalled without them.
Software which was downloaded from the Mac App Store is tied to the downloader's Apple ID.

I plan to buy a MacBook Pro with retina display and I already own and use Photoshop CS 5 on my PC?
I plan to buy and use a MacBook Pro with Retina display and I already own and use the PS CS 5 on my PC window-based. How can I obtain a copy of CS 5 for my MacBook Pro?
Message was edited by: CHARNCHAN. That is without having to buy another copy for the Mac!Not sure why you'd want CS5 for your new Mac with Retina display.
Retina support was first added to Photoshop in CS6 version 13.0.3
http://blogs.adobe.com/jkost/2013/01/retina-display-support-and-photoshop-cs6.html
So, assuming you own standalone Photoshop CS5 (and you're running at least Windows 7 on your PC) then your best option - for optimal display on your Mac - might be to subscribe to the Photoshop Photography Program for $9.99/month
https://creative.adobe.com/plans/offer/photoshop+lightroom?sdid=KIHZP
Then you'll get Photoshop CC + Lightroom 5 + extras and you can run them both on your Mac and Windows (2 installs permitted regardless of operating system) for the same $9.99 monthly fee.
If you don't want to subscribe then your other option would be to buy a separate CS6 license for Mac (paying full price). -
Bought the phone on contract last January (late in january), had my charger replaced just after christmas and now it has stopped working again, its been about a month and a half and the replacement charger is broken, does the replacement charger come with a new warranty or will I have to buy a new charger? And if so, is there a charger that doesn't break easily (my problem is the the wire at the phone end of the cable seems to bunch and twist etc.)
thanks.a warranty replacement if the donor is out of warranty has a new 90 days warranty from exchange date

I bought a 16gb iphone 5 about 3 months ago and got applecare. yesterday I had to get on a different plan within the same company so i traded in my phone and got a new 32gb iphone 5. can i transfer my applecare to this new phone or would I have to buy it again?
As this is a WW forum with different AppleCrare offerings you need to specify which Country
as in North America has AppleCare+ and everywhere else AppleCare ,very different products
So to avoid incorrect guidance suggest you specify Country -

Use the backup of your computer to put everything back on the new computer.

I had Iphoto on my computer when i bought it and now had to reinstall a new hard drive do i have to buy it again?
reinstall from the original source
Could be
1 - the restore disks that came with the computer
or
2 - the iLife DVD that you purchased
or
3 - the app store - log in under the Apple id used to purchase the software or to set up the computer - look under purchases - you might have to unhide or accept the Application first

I have a imac g5. It's running off version 10.4.11. How do I update it to a higher version? Do I have to buy that software or can I download it from apple?
Does the computer's installed version of OS X (Tiger 10.4.11) have an install
+ restore DVD, or is that missing? The original disc set usually would include
the extra applications not found on a retail version OS X install DVD; and a
bonus is the original software kit included the version Apple Hardware Test
for your computer model. This also is not included in a retail OS X install DVD.
If you have your computer serial number and model information available,
and try calling Apple (main number, not local store) and ask to speak to an
Operating System Specialist, when you get someone matching that position
on the phone ask what they can do for you regarding a Replacement DVD
install disc for a system that can run in your computer.
If your computer shipped with a Tiger version, that would have been originally
on a grey-label DVD set include with the computer, with a part number on it.
A replacement may be harder to get, than say, a white label Replacement
DVD install disc for Leopard 10.5. There had been a white label non-retail
full install version of both Tiger and Leopard, available for a time from Apple
sales support main numbers (or applecare?) for a reasonable fee. Maybe still.
Perhaps if one kind of replacement system disc is not available, they may
have some other option at Apple. The main store number may not be the
correct place to ask, but they may be able to redirect you to an OS Specialist.
(in US 1-800-MY-APPLE is the main #. There is another number I don't recall.)
Good luck & happy computing! -
My daughter has been using my iTunes account to buy music and apps. I now want to set up a separate iTunes account for her, with a different login. How can we transfer the music and apps she has already bought to her new iTunes account?
Hello, thank you for your prompt answer. I did have an idea that Home sharing might be the answer but could not quite figure out how to do it. I have enabled home sharing in my iTunes account, put in username and password, clicked on creat etc. But the homs sharing icon doew not appear in the left side of iTunes. So I got stuck. Any further ideas?

If I buy illustrator do I still get updates, and can I transfer it to a new computer?
If I buy illustrator outright, do I still get updates, and can I transfer it to a new computer?
David,
No future updates will be issued for non CC versions. For CS6, the last one (ever) is 16.0.5.
You can install it on 2 computers at a time, and you can deactivate and install on new computers as you wish.
