I want to transfer my purchases to my new MacBook Air.

I just recently bought a MacBook Air. I am learning the basics and noticed that the Apps that I have downloaded and purchased on my iPhone (i no longer have an iPhone, I have a HTC One X) is not transferring through to my MacBook's App Store.
Does this mean I will need to re-purchase those Apps that I have already purchased when I had my iPhone?
To put this into detail:
When I had my iPhone (6 months ago or so) I downloaded and purchased Pages (as well as hundreds of other Apps)
Now that I am using a new MacBook Air, how will I be able to download Pages (as well as those other Apps that I purchased already) on the MacBook at no cost?
I know that users can click the $19.99 << Button when purchasing a previously purchased item, and it will let the user know that they already purchased it in the past. But I am not willing to take the chance of having to re-pay the full price of all the Apps I loved and paid a heafty amount for, and then have to go through the tough "genuis" people at Apple.
So please, whoever knows the answer, please leave a comfortable answer.
Thank you

Apps designed for iOS do not run on OS X....
But... media files should still run if that's that you mean.

I bought a new macbook air, I want to transfer my photoshop to my new macbook air.

Hi!
I bought a new macbook air, I want to transfer my photoshop to my new macbook air. I registered my product serial number on the website on my account. Can I download it from there? The macbook air does not have a CD player so I cannot put the Photoshop CD in to install. I wanted to know if it was possible to download photoshop from the website with the serial number of my product.

If you purchased the CD you will not have a download link in your account, but there are downloads available for most modern versions of Photoshop. You can use your serial number from the disc to activate after installing the download.

Yes.
It's always useful to keep a backup copy as well in case things go wrong.
It's much quicker than having to download again.
You can keep it on hard drives, memory sticks or cards, DVDs etc.

Should I install the Kaspersky Internet Security Software included with the purchase of a new MacBook Air, OS X.

Should I install the Kaspersky Internet Software included free with the purchase of a new MacBook Air OS X?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
You mustn't. Apart from the fact that OS X doesn't need an antivirus (OS X has got its own security systems), commercial antiviruses like Kaspersky can do more harm than something good for your Mac. See > http://www.reedcorner.net/mmg
If you want to install an antivirus, install Sophos or ClamXav

How can I transfer microsoft office from my old MacBook Air to my new one?

All your data will be transferred if you use Setup Assistant, which starts automatically the first time you boot the new machine. You may need to contact Microsoft to reactivate the product.

Want to move iLife '11 from my new MacBook Air to my old MacBook Pro

I received my new laptop the MacBook Air with min config and with the minimum performance and capacity I intend to remove iLife 11' from it and look into other means to slim down the footprint of the default installation.
Now am I at right to install this iLife 11 onto my old MacBookPro which is being decommissioned to a deskjob? So it remains a single installation in essence (I won't be doing any photo and video editing on the MBA) If so how would I go about it?
Thanks

My wife bought a MacBook Pro and I believe paid extra for the Ilife 11,
She didn't. It's included in the price.
see that It resides on a disk labeled MacBook Pro Applications Install DVD.
Correct. These disks are specific to the model on the label.
Does this not also have a 5 user license?
No, why would you expect it to?
Am I needing then to buy a new 5 license Ilife 11?
No. You could simply purchase the app you want on the app store.
need Iweb for editing my website
There is no change in the version of iWeb with iLife 11.

How can I put OSX 10.7 on a new Macbook Air. Maverick no longer allows "open file in a new window" and I really miss it. At the Apple Store they told me it can't be added to the new OSX 10.10 so I want to change the OSX on the new Macbook Air and it

I have been using a 2012 Mac pro to do HD video editing. I bought a new portable Macbook Air only to find that Maverick no longer has "open files in a new window" which I use all the time in the very large folders of video clips and royalty-free music. I asked at the Apple Store how I could get this back on the Macbook Air and they said it couldn't be done so I thought I would re-format the HD and install 10.7 on it and was notified by the Macbook Air I can't put 10.7 on that computer. Apple use to give this as an option but now they have gone more to the attitude of "Do it our way or go to ****!" In anger I went out and bought a Dell Laptop and Pinnacle Studio 17 which I have been learning to use. I have been an Apple/Mac user since 1979 and would still rather do my video editing on a Mac. Is there any way that I can force the Macbook Air to let me load in OSX 10.7 where there is still the option to "open files in a new window" or is there a way to add this to Maverick? The experts at the Madison, WI Couldn't give me any help on this.

Choose Preferences from the Finder menu, click on the General tab, and uncheck the box to open folders in a new tab.

HT1420 I am trying to sync my iPhone to my computer with a new Apple ID that Ive just created because the original account has been applied on too many computers. iTunes is not allowing me to transfer my purchases with my new account. Help!!

I am trying to synch my iPhone with my computer, and new Apple ID. My iPhone is synced with another computer, but i have changed the Apple ID on my phone and authorized it on my computer. However, i can not transfer my purchases on to my new account. I have updated my phone, authorized the account on both my phone and my computer. And i do not wish to wipe my phone clean, because there is but one song on this new account. How do i transfer the music on my new account?

All content bought/downloaded from iTunes is tied to the account that downloaded it and it can't be transferred to a different account - so you will need to authorise your old account on that computer if you want to transfer its purchases over.

I have had Aperture since 1.0 and bought every upgrade. Now I want to transfer the software to my new iMac but I have to enter the original Serial number that I cannot locate. Any ideas what i can do, please?

The original serial number should be in the box with the installer disk.
If you cannot locate the serial number, contact Apple for a replacement serial number. You will need to provide a proof of purchase.
See: Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers

P.S. The menu command "Aperture > About Aperture" will show you your Aperture 3 serial number on your old mac, but not the previous serial numbers.

I used the migration assistant to transfer files from my PC to my Mac but it recreated my user profile from the PC and I wanted to transfer the files to the new different user profile I've setup on the Mac. How can I transfer everything now?

I have an older Windows laptop and I am switching to a new MacBook Air. The main user on the Windows laptop is going to be different than the main user on the MacBook. I used the migration assistant to transfer data to the MacBook but it recreated the whole older profile on the new Mac when I just wanted to pull everything over into the new user profile I had already created on the new MacBook. How can I go about putting the data over into the new user profile and erasing the older other user profile it recreated? Would I erase the old user profile on the new Mac and start over with the migration assistant using some setting I missed that lets me pull the data over to the new main user on the MacBook? Or is there a way to rename the old user profile on the Mac to match what I want the new username/password to be somehow?
Or would it be best to back the data I really need from the old PC onto an external HD and then copy it over to the new Mac from the external HD?
Looking for advice on how to best go about this. On the old PC I had multiple profiles and it was awkward. On the new Mac I just want a single profile for the primary user and both users will just share the same user profile. I wasn't sure if the Migration Assistant only let you recreate entire profiles or if there was a way to just import data from the old PC's primary profile into the new Mac's new primary profile with some setting adjustment.
Data would be docs, pics, bookmarks, music. Fairly basic.
Thanks for any and all advice,

Due to a divorce all my music is on my iTunes and iPod. I had to buy a new computer and want to transfer my Library to the new computer. How can I do this without using an external drive and use new computer just like I do the old one? Thanks.

Due to divorce, all my music is on my iTunes and iPod. I have had to buy a new laptop and want to transfer the library to the new computer before deauthorizing the old one. I dont want to have to use an external drive every time I want to listen to my music. How can I do this and have the same basic iTunes setup as before? HELP!

You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

"I want to transfer my music to a new account"
You cannot.
"How can i make a new account but yet still keep all my music?"
Authorize your computer for your Dads account as well as for yours. That's it
Put the music on your computer

I have just got a new computer and I want to transfer Adobe Acrobat to my new one can this be done ?

Hi Ianpce,
You need to download and install Adobe Acrobat on the new machine to use it.
You can use the same subscription or the serial number to activate the product.
Thanks
