Is there a way to move apps to new laptop but still keep them in old one?

I have a MacBook Pro and want to buy a MacBook Air. Is there a way to transfer my Mac store apps to new comp while still having them in my old one. I know about migration assistant but does that remove them from the old computer? If I download them would I need to pay for them again?

You can copy them to another computer, and you can re-download purchased apps at no extra charge. Migration Assistant does not remove files from the computer that is migrated.
To re-download your purchased applications just log into the App Store with the Apple ID used to purchase them. Click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You will find all your purchased applications listed with an Install button to the right.

Is there a way to move iphoto libary to external but still use on orginal hard drive?

Basically what I want to do is move my pictures from my laptop's hard drive to an external because I have so many and then keep using iphoto on my laptop but without all the older photos on it. I don't want to have to plug my external in every time I want to transfer pictures from my camera to my laptop. I wasn't sure what the best way to do this was? Or if this was even possible?
I'm using iPhoto '09 verzion 8.1.2 if that makes any difference?
Thanks! Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here's one way to do what you want:
1. Quit iPhoto.
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the external drive.
Now you have two full copies of the Library. To choose between them: Hold down the <b>option (or alt)</b> key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
3. On the Internal Library, remove the pics you don't want with you all the time.
Now you have one full library on the external and another smaller sub-set on the Internal.
A couple of comments:
a. The external disk needs to be formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
b: When you're removing the unwanted pics from the Internal Library you need to delete them in batches of about 100 or so. Trashing more at one time can cause problems with the database.
c.
Managing Multiple Libraries - including moving pics/albums/rolls and metadata between them - is greatly facilitated by using iPhoto Library Manager

Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

Is there a way to move Messages and Local (not synced with iCloud) notes from old iPhone to new one ?

Yes, it will. You cannot merge information on the phone. If you want the old messages, you will need to restore from a backup of the old phone, which will make the new phone look just like the old phone. If you want to save the messages from the new phone, you will not be able to get the messages from the old phone.

Since downloading the 2013 Keynote upgrade, the slide image size on handouts with 3 slides per page option is very small. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping 3 slides per page lines?

With the new Keynote upgrade (version 6.1), the slide image size on handouts is very small, which makes it difficult to read slide content when compiling lecture notes for students. Is there a way to make the slide size larger while still keeping to a format of 3 slides per page with lines?

A number of posts have reported the same issue, two workarounds:
1
check the paper handling options or equivalent in your print dialogue box and set to scale to fit
2
in the Keynote option, in the dropdown menu in the Print section, select Individual Slides
then choose Layout, and set the number of pages, when printed you will have multiple pages on a single sheet.

ok. I do have a time capsule but if I move itunes on to it how do I sync my ipods and iphone? Or can I have my Itunes account on both and just move my movies to the time capsule?

My husband and I are separated, but still using the same App Store account. Is there any way I can create a new account but keep the apps (and, more importantly, the data in those apps)?

I have budgeting and home management apps that contain lots of data and I would like to retain these apps and the data when we split our App Store accounts. Is there any way to do that? I don't want to have to go and buy the apps again - this includes all the kids' games that we bought on the account.

Thanks. Well I retain the data if I purchase the app again?
That depends on the app and where the app's data are stored. I think if you back up the phone, delete the app, purchase it again using your Apple ID, then restore the backup you will get your data back. But I cannot guarantee it.

Is there a way to change the admin password if you don't know the old one?

This situation is a nightmare. I sold my iBook G3 lime green clamshell on eBay recently, and my buyer was a complete idiot. She sent me the computer back because she was a complete moron and couldn't figure out how to use it, so I accepted the computer back and gave her a full refund.
When I ship out computers to the new buyers, I always do a erase and a fresh install, so when they receive the computer, they get the welcome screen. Well, of course she went through the whole process of completing her personal information, including her admin password. Well, the jerk forgot to mention to me what her password is so I could alter it to my information.
Now I am trying to contact her and she isn't responding. It has been over 3 days. Is there ANY way that I can bypass this glitch? I have the original install disks, so I can do it that way? I will be so angry if I am stuck not having a password for this computer that was originally mine to begin with (and is now mine again), especially if I want to resell.
HELP.

Thanks. I had already accessed that after I posted this just from googling it. But I am in the process of doing a fresh install. I just rebooted holding down the C key so I can do it that way. I need to get my information in there anyway, not hers, and since I just received it a few days ago, I didn't add anything on there yet.
What a hassle, but at least I know it's possible.
Thanks for responding.

I just got home sharing working on my ipad and i was about to close itunes from my main conputer, but when i tried to close it, it said that it would cut off the homesharing. Do i have to leave itunes open all the time for this to work?

A good way to transfer data to new computer w/o direct access to old one?

Hi, I'm having a problem that I hope you guys could help me out with.
I'm about to buy a new Macbook and sell my iBook, and I want to transfer my entire system to the new computer. But it seems I will be selling the iBook before I get the Macbook, so I will have to store my data somewhere else in the meantime; and I obviously can't use the "transfer assistent" (is that what it's called in english?).
I have access to windows computers for storage, but not macs.
I also have .mac so I have Backup 3.0. Would a backup/restore solution work?
Help!

The easiest way would be to clone your entire drive to the Firewire drive using something like Carbon Copy Cloner (free) or SuperDuper (very inexpensive). Then you can hook it up to your new Mac and transfer the data as if the external Firewire drive were a Mac running in FW Target Disk mode. That's exactly how I transferred data from my old iMac to my new one (my old iMac was not capable of FW Target Disk mode, so I had to use an external FW drive).

Yes, go to the AppleID FAQ for how to reset the questions.

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

HT1766 On an iPhone 5, Is there an easy way to move app icons as a group? instead of one by one?

On an iPhone 5, Is there an easy way to move app icons as a group? instead of one by one?

If you have a bunch of apps on one screen yunwantnto move to another as a group, create a folder by holding your finger on ne app until all the icons start shaking and show and "x" in the top left corner of the icon. Press again and don't lift your finger; move that icon with your finger over one of the other icons you want to add to the folder, which will create a folder. Then you can move the other apps you want to move into that folder. When you have all the apps you want to move into that folder, close the folder by tapping on the screen outside the folder. The icons should still be shaking. Then press on the folder you want to move and slide it to the edge of the screen, left or right, until the folder moves to the next screen. Once you get it to the screen of choice, you can leave the apps in that folder or move them out by the same process. When you are done moving things around, press the Home button and the icons will stop shaking. Now they will stay put.
Alternatively,my can sync your device with iTunes and move the icons around in the Apps windows in iTunes, then re-sync your device after you're finished. That will rearrange your icons on the device.
Good luck!

Is there a way to move my calendar, reminders & iMessage apps from the dock to the menu bar?

Workspaces are stored as XML files in your user profile on Windows or the user library on Mac, in a subfolder called, strangely enough, workspaces.
You may have run afoul of the new "content grabber" in the center of a frame that allows you to move the content without changing tools. Looks sort of like a dounut, or the center spot on some SLR camera focus viewfinders. You'll either love it or hate it, and it can be switched on or off in the View menu.

I work on dual screens on a new mac pro but when I do the 4 finger swipe it moves both screens, is there a way to move just the screen that is active?

Multiple desktops and dual screens really aren't meant to work together. Apple came up with this multiple desltops feature and never really thought about users that use a dual monitor setup. So use either multiple desktops OR dual monitors but not both. Also don't try to use any App in Full Screen Mode as that doesn't work with dual screen setups either.
