Moving apps from old citrus to new Phone

I am upgrading from a Motorola Citrus to a Samsung Stratosphere, which is supposed to arrive tomorrow,
I already use BackupAssistant to back up contacts, but what about my apps? I have many.
How do I get then from old phone to new?

Your apps are all connected to your Gmail account.  Once you sign in they are supposed to re-install automatically on the new phone (though that doesn't always happen).  If it doesn't happen, you have two options, you can either access the Play Store on your computer here: https://play.google.com/store and click on My Android Apps (top right), then go through them and click install on each one (make sure your new phone is signed into your Gmail account, and open the Play Store on your phone at least once) and they will be pushed to your phone.  Or, you can open the Play Store, then press menu>my apps, then swipe to the right.  This will give you a list of every app you have ever installed, and you can pick which ones to re-install.  I find the computer method to be easier, but hopefully they get pushed to your phone automagically.

  • Moving apps from old machine to new Mac

    My current MacBook belongs to my employer and I must return it. My new employer will purchase a new Mac for me. I will zero out the drive before I hand in the old machine, but what happens to the apps I have on my current machine? Obviously I don't want to have to purchase them again.
    1. Will the apps automatically migrate to my new Mac based on my Apple ID?
    2. What steps must I take to re-install when the time comes?
    Thanks in advance for your replies!

    A lot depends on the individual apps...some will be in the app store under Purchases and can be downloaded again.  Some may not run with the new operating system, if they are legacy apps that required Rosetta, i.e., those that ran under Snow Leopard and older versions of Mac OS X.  Those that ran on Lion should be ok.
    To re-download you will have to login to the Mac App Store with the same AppleID and password as you used to purchase the apps.  They are tied to the AppleID.
    You might want to get an external hard drive and just clone the current internal drive so you have a good, bootable backup copy you can then use to migrate to the new machine.  That would be the safest way to ensure the apps are available to you.

  • How do I transfer apps from old iPhone to new???

    When installing my new iPhone last night I realised that the apps I downloaded direct from my old iPhone were not going to be on my new iPhone. All the apps I downloaded from iTunes were re-installed. I wouldn't mind so much but I paid for some of them!
    Does this mean I have to buy them again. And maybe in the future it might be an idea to just download paid apps from iTunes so you will always have them in the future!!!

    That's interesting. I had the same problem. The only apps on iTunes were the ones I downloading with iTunes. It never asked me if I wanted to transfer apps from my phone.
    Now I've downloaded the apps again on my new phone, and again I'm not getting the option to sync them onto iTunes. I'm beginning to think that the only safe thing to do is to download on iTunes as much as possible.
    I wish there were some way to force this type of sync.

  • How to transfer apps from old pc to new mac

    I now have a brand new MacBook Pro laptop and have transferred everything except my apps from my old iTunes on PC to my new one using the home share function because there seems to be no option for the apps.  I've made sure the box is ticked in the General Tab of my Preferences on both computers but the apps still don't show up.  Am I missing something?  I have both firewire and USB cables for both computers.  Thanks for any input.

    Your answer would be useful is you could help this novice just a little bit more.  I'm only able to view the iTunes sidebar when I've selected Music under Library and there is no Quick Link option.  It seems that every option I find pertains to music, movies, TV shows, podcasts, etc, but never the apps where I paid for them or they were free downlods!  How might I do what you offered?  Thanks for your patience!

  • Moving contents from old iPod to new iPod

    I would like to shift all the contents on my old 30g iPod over to the new 160g I just bought. I haven't kept everything on my iTunes library, so is there a really simple way to do this without losing things? Any help would be appreciated.

    The songs from the old iPod will have to be moved to iTunes, then transferred from there to the new iPod.
    Check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.

  • How do i get my apps and old info onto new phone

    I recently upgraded my phone, now I cant get my apps or anything off of my account onto the new phone? help please

    Lucky you, a dead iPhone and a dead computer!  If you were backing up your old computer to an external drive then you might be able to recover your backup file.  But if you don't have a backup of your old computer then you're outta luck, iTunes itself does not contain the backup file.
    If you have a backup of your old computer's hard drive, your iPhone's backup file would be located at:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista or 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    You would then put the iPhone backup file into the same location on the new computer, then restore the iPhone and select this backup.

  • Moving iPhoto from old Mac to new Mac

    I got a new iMac and have been trying to move my iPhoto library from my old one to the new one. I followed instructions I found here in these discussions, but I'm still having trouble. Here's what I've done:
    I copied the library from my old computer (from the Pictures folder) to a flash drive.
    Then I moved it from the flash drive to the Pictures folder on the new Mac.
    Then I opened iPhoto.
    Nothing happened, except a yellow sticky-note looking thing is there that says "To get started, do any of the following..."
    I had read something else here about going to File and selecting Switch Library, so I did that and still nothing happened.
    I even tried downloading the iPhoto Library Updater (something else I read about here), but it said it didn't need to be uploaded.
    Any ideas?

    I tried hooking the computers together when I first got the new one last month, but it must have been too confusing for me (can't really remember why it didn't work) because I decided to just do it with a flash drive instead. Do I need to trash the iPhoto library that's on the flash drive before I format it, or will formatting delete it anyway? I thought I read that this flash drive was already formatted for Mac OS before I bought it, but maybe not. And if you have any instructions for me as to how to format it, I would greatly appreciate it. You've probably guessed I don't know much about all this.
    Thanks for your response

  • How to move apps from old mac to new mac?

    Hi, probably a question you all heard before...
    But how can I move my apps from my old mac to my new mac?
    Thanks

    Hi Dirrek, welcome to Discussions!
    See this KB article about Target Disk Mode:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/8443.html
    Although if it was me, I'd rather reinstall them from on my new Mac.
    Depends on which software it is: for example some old versions are not supported anymore on Snow Leopard.

  • How to transfer bought apps from old L800 to new L...

    Got new L925 today but just cannot figure it out how to transfer applications which I have bought to my old L800. Anyone solved this?

    @Allu71 Hello. Welcome to the forum.
    You need to set up the same Microsoft account on the new phone. After this, you may go to the Windows Phone Store on the web > Purchase history > Reinstall. You can have more info here: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/how-to/wp8/apps/download-apps-and-games-faq

  • Moving iWeb from old computer to new

    I just bought a new computer with iLife 08, the old computer has iLife 06. How do I move my website from iWeb to the new computer? I saw one internet suggestion that I look for a file in users/myname/library/application support/iweb. This folder does not exist on my old computer. Thanks for any help.

    On the old computer the domain file for iweb is only in the library folder under the main HD and not in the user library. I copied this Domain, and on the new computer the only iweb folder was in the user library (which there is only one user) so I pasted the domain file there. This did not work, when I open iweb I still get he start up for new user screen.
