Moving itumes from pc to mac went ok, but no applicaitons.

switching from pc to mac...
I moved my iTunes from win to mac using backup...everything seems to have worked ok, except applications. None of them would sync. So, I went to iTunes and got all apps that were free, and then they synced as expected.
The problem is 2 of the apps are not free, iDicto and iNeedStuff ($9). How do I get these back on my iPhone?
The error message was something like:
xxx apps were not installed because this iPhone is not authorized on this computer.
Thanks
bob

Bob, If you are using the same iTunes Store account, you can download the apps again without charge. Just click the "Buy" button and you will be advised that you have already purchased the app with an offer to download again for free. See this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

    I recently purchased a Mac to replace my PC.  I got my iTunes moved from my PC to my Mac without difficulty, HOWEVER my applications did not move over.  Any ideas how to get them moved?  I do not want to have to re-download them when I sync my iPhone to the Mac (since it'll want to delete them)

    If you do so, then under the folder of iTunes you will see a folder called "Mobile Aplications", just drag and drop to itunes, that sould resolve...

  • Moving Favorites from PC to Mac

    Hello,
    I'm moving favorites from IE 7 on Windows XP to Mac Leopard. Do I just move the files over and import or is there something specific regarding conversions I need to complete? Thanks.

    Hi theBigD23,
    Save your Favorites in IE 7 to the desktop (or wherever you want). Use a flash drive, email the file to yourself, or any method at your disposal to get that file over to the Mac.
    In Safari, choose File > Import Bookmarks. Navigate to the bookmark file from the PC and click Import.

  • Moving Playlists from PC to Mac

    I've had a Dell desktop for years but just bought a MacBook Pro (love it!) but I can't find any support on transferring my playlists from PC to Mac. Any ideas? Thanks!

    iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the iTunes Library.itl file in the moved iTunes folder.
    For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168 
    Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
    If you put it in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

  • Moving data from pc to mac

    so im switching from pc to mac(made a post earlier with some questions) and have another question regarding moving my data.
    although i could use an ipod with disk enabled, could i also just use an external hardrive?
    my plan was to borrow my friends external harddrive(he uses windows btw), just connect his drive to my pc, drag and drop my folder of stuff(music, videos, docs) on it and disconnect. then get my macbook, plug in the drive, drag and drop. any potential pitfalls?
    thanks in advance!

    hi, depending on how much data you have to transfer, doing it over a home network might be real slow. I tried doing it and while it worked, it just would have taken way too much time
    In my case, I had tons of photos and music files that I wanted to transfer from Windows to my new MBP.
    You may want to consider just purchasing an inexpensive external HDD (less than $75 for a 160GB) and do it that way or borrow one from a friend. You could even purchase one of those really inexpensive flash drives that hold up to 1GB.
    I say this becu

  • Moving iTunes from PC to Mac - problem...

    When moving my iTunes folder from PC to Mac (via hard drive), the following error message appears: The operation can’t be completed because you don’t have permission to access some of the items". Anyone come across this before?

    My feeling is there isn't much you can do about it since standard things such as changing file permissions won't work if you can't write to the drive.  You could try formatting the drive to FAT so both the PC and Mac can use it (as long as you don't have any huge files).  Alternatively, if you have a smaller flash drive formatted FAT you can move the library in groups of folders as long as you make sure it all goes back together properly again.
    Here's my standard post on moving libraries:
    If you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
    If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
    Longer answers if for any reason you do not think all library files are inside your iTunes folder (changed preferences settings at some point):

    2011 ilounge article: Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/  - An article with good background information (similar to the links above), particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick answer above. Unfortunately under the single term "transferring library" it describes two very different moves; relocating just your media (not  really transferring your library and not recommended unless you really need this configuration), and relocating media+database (really your whole "library").  Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.

  • Moving iTunes from PC to Mac OSX possible?

    Hi,
    My friend has bought a new Mac with OSX 10.5 and wants me to move his iTunes from his PC to Mac, now I can get all the music copied over as I have set the network up and can browse to both computers. iTunes is installed on the Mac but empty, what is the next step? On the PC I usually just hold down the shift key and load it and tell iTunes where my music is.

  • Moving files from outlook to mac

    I'm switching from a PC to Mac.  How do I move or export email files from outlook to mac.  My email account is IMAP at Gmail.

    Hi Ed,
    If you're using IMAP there's no "export" necessary as all of the emails are stored on the GMail mail servers and just made available to you locally. Now, if you've opted to create local (offline) folders for archiving purposes that's different.
    Regrettably there's no easy to way to move from Outlook into Mail, for free. There's a program you can buy called Outlook2Mac.
    Link -> http://www.littlemachines.com/
    For $13 it's a great program. There are some work arounds but it involves using Thunderbird.

  • Moved library from PC to Mac w/ iPod now exclamation points next to songs

    I used the instructions at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300173 to move my iTunes library from a PC to my new MacBook Pro.
    Everything seemed to go smoothly...I moved the iTunes folder from the iPod to the Music folder on the Mac, then opened iTunes. Then something went wrong that I can tell will take me hours to fix. Or at least I hope not:
    The first time I did it, all the songs had the exclamation point next to them and when attempting to play, I got the 'file not found do you want to spend hours re-linking all the files?' message. I moved the iTunes folder and tried it again. This time, about 95% of the 1,100+ songs had the exclamation point. And as I clicked on the few without the exclamation point to try and play them, they too developed the exclamation point blues.
    Is this fixable? The .itl and .xml files are in the 'Music' folder. Should I try moving the iTunes folder from the iPod again? I also noticed that while my playlists and custom genre tags, etc. made it, the album artwork did not .
    Please help! Thanks so much!

    It is a likely possibility that the format of the folders is different between the 2 OS. Troubleshoot these
    Make sure you have actually music files in the folder from your XP. Make sure you transfered your main music folder (My Music)
    Do you have the folders in this order in your music category on your MacBook? iTunes>(iTunes Music Library.xml and iTunes Library data file)iTunes Music>(all of your music
    If these dont work, then use Yamipod, a 3rd party utility that can extract all your info/music off your iPod into iTunes...
