Manually  migrating to new Mac: how to move iOS Apps

I am doing a manual migration from my old Mac to my new Air.
I understand (I think) how to move my itunes Music Library).
However, I don’t know how to move all of my iOS apps  (some of which are installed on my iPad and iPhone and some of which aren't).
Thanks for your help!

I'm no expert on the iTunes library situation, I'll leave that for others.
I can help on the Aperture move.  There are two possible answers.
If you have a Managed Library (all the Masters are inside the library), the job is easy.  Just go to Finder and drag and drop it to the new location.
If any of your Masters are "Referenced Masters" (that is they live outside the Aperture Library), then you still move the Library as above, but DO NOT USE FINDER TO MOVE THE MASTERS!
You MUST use Aperture's "Relocate Masters" function to do the move of the Masters.  If you move them using Finder, Aperture gets all confused, and while it is possible to straighten the mess out, it's not fun.
Most people have a "Managed Library", so it's probably very simple.
To tell if you have "Referenced Masters", go into Browser and select 'Photos" in the Library Inspector, click on one image and select all images (Command-a).
Then choose "Locate Referenced Files..." in the File menu.  If it says "No Referenced Files", you have your answer - it's a totally "Managed" Library, so drag and drop it.
If you have got Referenced Masters and need help, post back.
Hope this helps
John

    iPad apps will not run on a Mac.
    iPads use the iOS operating system. Macs use the OS X operating system. Apps for one won't run on the other.
    The most that you can do is store the content on your iPad in the content libraries of iTunes for Mac. You can play the music, movies, TV shows, and podcasts from the iPad using iTunes on the Mac. As well as, read iBooks from the iPad in iBooks for Mac.

  • After migrating a new Mac Book Pro from Time Capsule, I noticed that I lost a group of Favorites on the older iMac. The puzzling thing is that the Favorites are on my iPhone--not the old iMac or the new Mac Book Pro. How do I get the Favorites back?

    If you are syncing using iCloud, try going to System Preferences/iCloud (computers) and checking Safari. If it is checked, try deselecting it, wait 10-15 seconds, and then check it again.

  • I have just purchased a Macbook pro, but my iphone is currently synched to my old pc. How can I now synch it with my new mac without losing all the apps/music etc on my phone, Ta

    Hi, I have just purchased a Macbook, but my iphone is currently synched to my old pc. How can I now synch it with my new mac without losing all the apps/music etc on my phone? Ta

    The easiest way is to copy the iTunes folder from your old PC to your MB (put it in the Music folder as a subfolder), along with the other valuable data on the old PC. Or restore it from a backup of your old PC. Then authorize iTunes on the MB to the same account you had on the PC. When you sync it will warn you that your content will be deleted, but it will be replaced with the same content from the MB. Before syncing you should also make sure there is at least one entry in iCal and Address book on the MB (assuming you sync to Outlook or equivalent on the PC) to assure that your contacts and calendar entries will move over correctly.
    Al alternative that is less effective is to connect the iPhone to the MB without syncing, and choose "Transfer Purchases" from the iTunes File menu. This willl copy purchases music, videos and apps, but not ripped tracks from the iPhone to the MB.

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match , Apple does not keep a backup of your iTunes library.  Even then it is not the library as it exists on your computer, but some version of the media, and only media files, not playlists.  Even then not all media are definitely available since anything removed from the iTunes Store since you purchased it is not available for re-download.

    Using Match as a backup for iTunes - https://discussions.apple.com/message/17039436#17039436
    In your case it sounds like you will have to obtain non iTunes purchases from their original source or a backup you may have made at some time in the past.

  • Unable to open indesign after migration to new mac all other programs open and work.

    Unable to open indesign after migration to new mac all other programs open and work. Why? Running Yosemite 10.10.1 Indesign CS5

    The keyword is "migration." Migrating or copying files for Adobe applications usually does not work. Not all of the necessary subsidiary files are copied to the right location.
    You'll need to first clean up the mess with this tool:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Then download an installer from here:

  • After migrating to new Mac iCal pop-up screen is mostly off screen ...

    After migrating to new Mac iCal pop-up screen is mostly off screen and I can't seem to find a way to get it so that it pops up in the middle of the screen or anywhere else where I can see the whole thing.

    This is a known bug which began to occur with the 10.4.8 update. I suggest you file a bug report with Apple. Its quite annoying and hopefully, the more people who contact Apple about it, the more importance they will give to fixing the problem.

    the apps will not be deleted if the itunes is authorised for the apple id from which you downloaded the apps.
    for the songs if you have downloaded it from a store other than itunes an app "TuneAid" will help you. download the full version then you can copy all the songs on the ipad to ur itunes library

  • HT2736 How to send iOS apps as gift?

    How to send iOS apps as gift?

    It should work as described on the page that you posted from. If you are doing it on your iPad then find the app in the store and select it to view it's description, tap the share icon on its top right (the square with the arrow coming out of it), and then tap 'Gift' on the popup.
    If doing it on your computer's iTunes then click the downward pointing arrow to the right of the app's price and you should get a drop-down with a list of options. If it's an app that you already own then you may need to log out of your account (via the Store > Sign Out menu option), then find the app before you get the 'gift this app' on the drop-down - you can then click on that and you should then be prompted to sign back in.
    You can't gift free apps, and you can only gift apps (and other items) to people whose account is based in the same country as yourself. You can also only gift using a credit card, you can't use your account's balance
