Transferring Apple Software to another partition

Hi!
My computer's hard drive was divided into 5 partitions a few years ago and after subsequent updates, etc. the partition that holds my systems folders is currently way too full for comfort.
I've long since transferred all my applications (except for the ones that came with my computer, like iTunes, iPhoto, iCal, etc.) to another partition.
Does anyone know which, if any, of these remaining software applications can be safely tranferred to another partitipon without causing problems?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!

amysue:
How large is your drive? and How large are the partitions?
What you are asking can be done, depending on your answers to the above questions. However, it does make for a very inconvenient and inefficient arrangement, to say the least. Your partitions are more of a hindrance than a help. In the long run you are better off backing up your Users Folder and any third party apps you don't want to or can't reinstall, and reformatting you entire HDD. Then you can re-install the OS and restore your data. If you don't have a good reason for wanting partitions it would be better to have just one partition.
Post back if you have further questions or need help with the reformatting and re-installation.
Good luck.

What can I legally do with old Apple software?

Hi -
I've been going through closets and found packages of Apple software that I have purchased, installed and used - but haven't used in years and don't intend to again. I'm talking about Logic Studio V2.0 Final Cut Studio HD V7.0 and Final Cut Express HD.
Can I sell these used packages legally?
Will the new owner be "blocked" from using the same registration number I used even though I've uninstalled the software?
Thanks for any insight on the issue.
Josh

Here's part of the SLA from FCS 2 (other versions are virtually the same): http://images.apple.com/legal/sla/docs/finalcutstudio2.pdf
3. Transfer. You may not rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute or sublicense the Apple Software. You may, however, make a one-time permanent transfer of all
of your license rights to the Apple Software to another party, provided that: (a) the transfer must include all of the Apple Software, including all its
component parts, original media, printed materials and this License; (b) you do not retain any copies of the Apple Software, full or partial, including copies
stored on a computer or other storage device; and (c) the party receiving the Apple Software reads and agrees to accept the terms and conditions of this
License. All components of the Apple Software are provided as part of a bundle and may not be separated from the bundle and distributed as standalone
applications.
Updates: If an Apple Software update completely replaces (full install) a previously licensed version of the Apple Software, you may not use both versions of
the Apple Software at the same time nor may you transfer them separately.
NFR (Not for Resale) Copies: Notwithstanding other sections of this License, Apple Software labeled or otherwise provided to you on a promotional basis
may only be used for demonstration, testing and evaluation purposes and may not be resold or transferred.
Academic Copies: If the Apple Software package has an academic label or if you acquired the Apple Software at an academic discount, you must be an
Eligible Educational End User to use the Apple Software. "Eligible Educational End Users" means students, faculty, staff and administration attending and/or
working at an educational institutional facility (i.e., college campus, public or private K-12 schools).
So, while it states you cannot sell the software, it doesn't specifically ban you from charging the other party a "transfer fee."

Authorising a new user to own Apple software when transferring a 2012 Mac

This is one is doing my head in!
I own a 2012 MacBook Air. The Apple Software was originally a mixture of iWork DVD and OS original software. Now everything updates automatically and smoothly via the App store update. Let's call this Mac1
I now intend to purchase another Mac (Mac2) and give Mac 1 to my daughter. My daughter has an Apple ID for iTunes but has never purchased Mac software in her own name.
Migrating from Mac 1 to Mac 2 is no problem. My issue is what to do with Mac 1:
- if I simply create a new account in her name and erase my own data, she'll be able to use the computer but everytime there's a software update, she'll need to enter my own Apple ID. No desirable nor practical
- if I reset to factory settings, it will revert to Mountain Lion (or was it simple Lion?) which does not contain the iWork suite. Even if I upgrade Mac1 to Mavericks, the iWork suite will not be present and my daughter will have to re-purchase it. This is both impractical and unfair as I have already paid for the software twice (old machine + DVD, AND new machine)
Somebody suggested that I let her sign in in her own name on Mac 2 so that she can apply the software to her Apple ID. I should then restore Mac 2 to factory/Mavericks and then transfer the info from Mac 1 to Mac 2. I would then restore Mac 1 to factory, then upgrade from Lion to Mavericks, then restore the Apps through App store (and then of course reinstall any other apps manually). As you can see, this is highly complicated and would take a day!
Please please tell me there's a better way!

After a very long chat with Apple, there is actually a simple solution. It involves the new user (my daughter) to first sign into the brand new Mac in order to create a purchase 'trace'. This can then be applied to any machine including the old one. The only thing I need to remember is to de-authorise the old machine from iTunes (as well as do similar things on licence restricted software such as Creative Suite). Here's the sequence:
1.) She accepts the iWork suite with her Apple ID on your new Mac
2.) She then signs into the Mac App Store on your old Mac and downloads the suite under Purchases
3.) You sign into the Mac App Store on your new Mac
4.) You download the iWork that is tied to your Apple ID

Parallel Installation to another partition with Os X snow leopard

Hi, My Wife Just got a Mac Book Pro 15 Inch used off of Ebay. I have a few questions. The issue we are having is that after setting up her user account settings and trying to get ride of the old user account we have a screen with a folder and question mark which i assume that it can't find system files or can't fine boot sector on the drive. We tried repairing the partitions using the os disk but does not work. We also originally go locked out by open firmware and had to reset ram to fix. The Os Partition contains data we want to save. I was wanting to know if its possible to do a paralell install of the os onto another partition on the same drive without wiping the entire drive so we can access content of the old osx partition to backup or mirror the drive to save data. Also is there a way to reinstate warranty and transfere ownership of a used system. everythng is ok with it just that we will have to do a reinstall of the os Thanks

Correct. No bootable system was found.
We tried repairing the partitions using the os disk but does not work.
You mean you tried to [repair the hard drive with Disk Utility|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417], as described at that link? If so, how exactly did it not work? Were there unrepairable errors? Or was repair successful but the problem still exists?
The Os Partition contains data we want to save.
If this is a used machine and you haven't wiped the hard drive and reinstalled from scratch, you're playing with fire. Sounds like you've got a machine that's not in good working order, plus, for all you know, the original owner has installed some kind of key logger or other malware to steal your personal information without your knowledge. Not to mention that, if you're trying to keep applications that are installed on the computer but that you don't have disks for, you're breaking the law... that's software piracy.
OTOH, if the only data you're concerned about is your data, then you absolutely MUST have a backup, preferably more than one. If you don't, anything you do could result in tragedy, especially on a machine experiencing problems. You can create a backup even if the system isn't working by booting from the Mac OS X install disk, switching to Disk Utility and using the Restore tab. You'll need an external hard drive to copy to.
Also is there a way to reinstate warranty and transfere ownership of a used system.
No, if the warranty is expired, it's expired.

DVD SuperDrive can't be used by Apple Software. HELP!

So a few days ago I replaced the internal CD drive of my PowerMac G4 Quicksilver with a genuine Apple DVD SuperDrive. It works great with regular CD's, and blank CD-R's, but Disk Utility and iDVD don't recognize DVD-R's anymore (not even with my USB DVD drive that supports every type of disc). Disk Utility always says that they are "Read-Only". And iDVD says that a 4.7gb disc is 0 mb.
This doesn't happen however, with apps such as Toast, which knows that it's a 4.7gb blank DVD-R and will burn to it with both the USB and internal drive. Even Apple System Profiler says this:
PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-103:
Firmware Revision: 1.90
Interconnect: ATAPI
Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipped/Supported)
Cache: 2000 KB
Reads DVD: Yes
CD-Write: -R, -RW
DVD-Write: -R, -RW
Burn Underrun Protection CD: No
Burn Underrun Protection DVD: Yes
Write Strategies: CD-TAO, CD-SAO, DVD-DAO
Media:
Media Type: DVD-R
Blank: Yes
Erasable: No
Overwritable: Yes
Appendable: Yes
Whereas Disk Utility says this about the same disc:
Disk Description : PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-103
Total Capacity : 0 Bytes
Connection Bus : ATA
Write Ability : Read Only (DVD-R)
Connection Type : Internal
Capabilities : CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-R, DVD-RW
Connection ID : Device 0
Partition Scheme : Unformatted
And iDVD just complains that [any] video exceeds the maximum size allowed. Upon reading the Project Information like it said to, it says that the maximum size for the disc is 0 mb.
I seriously don't understand what is going on here, I've never had a computer do this kind of thing, where some programs fail after replacing hardware, but some don't. I have a really good repertoire with computers (both PC and Macintosh) but I'm stuck here. I tried all the usual things; Repaired/Verified the disk and permissions (of my Tiger and OS 9 HDD's), checked for a firmware update on the Apple Support Site, but both of those said that I didn't need the update after it finished "installing". Any ideas anyone???

Well of course they dropped it, the drive is almost the same age as the computer haha, which was also forgotten about after only a year before they went on to another model. But even so, the computer originally shipped with the option to have a DVD-RW drive, but it was about $200 cheaper to get it without, and at the time, most people didn't even need the DVD drive. So it comes naturally with the ability to use it.
But I think I know where you're coming from, so I decided to check what iTunes 9 would say about burning to the disc, and it just crashes every time I click "Burn playlist to disc...". So yet another Apple product refuses to work with it.
On another note, even though it's only Apple software that seems to be having issues with it, does it matter? What I mean by that is, the drive works with Mac OS X because of an Extension, and the extension allows applications to use the drive. (The extension for this drive is also natively supported by OS X Tiger) Now, if something were wrong with the extension (one would assume this because of the issues with Apple applications) wouldn't it just not function at all? The only thing I can think of is that the new drive somehow corrupted the Apple software, while leaving ones like Toast Titanium alone.
Just to clarify (I'm still trying to organize my own thoughts right now):
*_What Works_*
*Plays CD-R's
*Can write to CD-R's
*Every application (Apple or Third-Party) can manipulate a CD-R disc
*Can recognize and play retail CD's
*Recognizes DVD-R's in both USB and internal drive
*Third-Party applications (ex: Toast Titanium) can burn to DVD-R's in both internal and USB drives
*Apple System Profiler recognizes the drive, and it's capabilities. And knows that it is Apple Supported/Shipped
_*What Does Not Work*_
*Official Apple software can not burn to DVD's of any kind
*The computer occasionally rejects DVD's (ejecting after trying to load for a while) regardless of the drive
*iTunes quits un-expectantly when told to burn to disc
*Disk Utility says that every DVD is "Read-Only" and has a capacity of 0
*iDVD thinks that the disc is either 32mb or 0mb (changes every time I open it)

Why can't I register Adobe or Apple software?

I just recently got a MacBook Pro; I've registered it on Apple, but I cannot register any of my software, either from Apple or Adobe.
Adobe programs say: "Adobe could not register your product at this time."
GarageBand takes me to:
The Apple Product Registration website is closed.
If you’re trying to register an Apple product, chances are it’s already registered. Most Apple products can be registered when you turn them on for the first time and begin the setup process. Service and support for your Apple product are linked to its serial number, so it’s OK if you don’t register it. If you'd like to check the service and support coverage for your Apple mobile device or computer, click here.
Is there another way to register Apple software? Do I literally just need to wait a while and try again with Adobe? I feel it's a little too coincidental that neither will register for me...
I was told to register all my software so I could regain it if something ever happened to my computer.

If you registered your MBP, your pre-installed Apple software is automatically registered too unless the software specifically request it. If this is the case, which software is asking you to register?
You can register Apple products by phone. Call Apple Customer Relations - 1-800-767-2275. Ask politely & firmly that you want to be transferred to Customer Relations. Tell them exactly what you stated in your post.
Adobe is 3rd party. You should contact Adobe Support and/or post in the Adobe Forums since it's their product you are having problems w/registering.

I can't uninstall Apple Software Update.

In trying to uninstall ITunes, I was given a checklist from Apple Support to uninstall certain programs in a specific order. I need to reinstall ITunes, and they said that I needed to remove it first. I am running a Windows 7, 64 bit HP laptop. No program is removing this and it very specifically says to not remove them out of order.
Below are the instructions sent to me. (I tried to copy and paste. However, it doesn't look good, so I will include the link that Apple sent to me.)
Can someone please help?

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases. Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

How do I stop my Macbook Air from transferring your information from another computer?

Just purchased my Macbook Air. When I started it up, it asked if I wanted to tranfer information from my other computer. the first thing it started to download was the music and it suddenly froze when it had a 1hr and 46 mins left and now I can escape out of it. It is the only thing that is on my screen. I ended the transfer on my PC but it wont clear out on my Macbook Air. Is there a way to restart the computer so it will retry the tranfer without the music?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold the Power button until the Mac turns off, and turn it on again.
Instead of transferring your files from another computer through the network, copy your data from your old PC or Mac to an external drive, connect the external drive to your MacBook Air and transfer your files

Is it possible to transfer all files from one Apple ID to another

Hello,
For work I currently use an iPad Air (iOS 8.1.3) and just recently upgraded to a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.10.2) . The only issue is that I will be using a different Apple ID on the MacBook then I was using on the iPad. My question is, is it possible to transfer all of my pages documents from one Apple ID to another all at one time or will I have to manually share each document with myself. If there is a way, would it be possible on the iPad app, the MacBook app or on the iCloud website.
Thanks for your time and help

No, it is not possible. All purchased items under one Apple ID are permanently connected to it. They cannot be transferred to another Apple ID. You can, however, repurchase the items under your new Apple ID.
You can always call Apple to see if they can be of help.
