Why does apple not allow me to transfer software from one apple ID to another.

I did some work for an organization that paid me by purchasing FCPX. They figured that since they were logging into my computer the software would be linked to my account/user logged into the computer at the time.
Since they logged into their APPLE ID in the apple store (For cinfidenciality reasons) the software is now linked to them and not me as intended. I have the software installed on my computer and I am only looking for a onetime fix to move my copy of FCPX from their ID to my ID. I submitted a claim and they spoke with their special interest group and denied my request based on it being considered a "Return" over 60 days. I am not sure how I am going to be able to upgrade the software anymore especially once a major update comes available. I find this system to be ridiculous. I am not trying to pirate software or anything crazy like that. Me and my client want the software to belong to me and it was only ever installed on my computer and will remain my software going forward.

This is the way that Apple iTunes and Mac App Store accounts have always functioned, for over 10 years now. This is a tech support forum, not a place to complain. When you opened your account you agreed not to use the forum to question Apple's product and business decisions. Continuing to rant about what you don't like will only get your posts removed by the forum Hosts and if you persist your account will be closed.
This app unfortunately will never be yours, it will always be a pirated app and you will never be able to update it unless the person who bought it gives you the password to the Apple ID used to buy it.

    There are many ways of stripping metadata.  Not sure how "locking" it would be of any use.

  • I can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name

    can not transfer date from one hard drive to another, I keep getting an error because I have two of the same file names and one file name is in caps and I cant change the file name. My original external has an error and needs to be reformatted but I dont want to lose this informations its my entire Itunes library.

    Sounds like the source drive is formatted as case sensitive and the destination drive is not. The preferred format for OS X is case insensitive unless there is a compelling reason to go case sensitive.
    Why can't you change the filename? Is it because the source drive is having problems?  If so is this happening with only one or two or a few files? If so the best thing would be to copy those over individually and then rename them on the destination drive.
    If it is more then you can do manually and you can't change the name on the source you will have to reformat the destination as case sensitive.
    Btw this group is for discussion of the Support Communities itself, you;d do better posting to Lion group. I'll see if a host will move it.

  • Need to transfer data from one external hd to another hd

    Hi, I need to transfer movies from one external hd to another external hd - destination hd is formatted currently as NTSC, source hd is formatted currently as Mac OSx extended (journalled).
    I believe I need to transfer data across to different hd before I can reformat source hd to MSDOS - fat. Then after reformatting source hd I want to transfer data back from destination hd to source hd, to allow this to be viewed on TV & PC...
    I have tried copying & dragging from one to another, doesn't work (on desktop, or in Finder).
    Any help welcome, thank you.

    When you reformat a drive it erases all data. You'll need to buy a second external drive.
    Note: you can reformat a single partition on a drive. More info
    I like the Seagate USB 3.0 Backup plus drives. Works on USB 2.0 ports. They come formatted for PC but easy to format in Disk Utility.
    I don't recommend Western Digital because of the boot problem with some of their drives. LaCie makes good drives. All Mac formatted drives will cost more and it’s easy to reformat with Disk Utility. Do not use the software that comes with the drives. It’s recommended that you use Apple’s Disk Utility.
    Prices vary but this gives you an idea of what you’ll find. As you notice the second and third TB is usually only $15 more per TB. It's not uncommon to find a 1T is more than the 2T
    Current Amazon pricing:
    Seagate Backup Plus 1 TB USB 3.0 $154.85 (used to be around $85.00)
    Seagate Backup Plus 2 TB USB 3.0 $114.95 (used to be around $99.00
    Seagate Backup Plus 3 TB USB 3.0  $129.90 (used to be around $115.00)
    Locally, Best Buy seems to have the best prices.
    Occassionally you'll find the 3T for $99 on sale.

  • How do I transfer Pages from one user account to another

    How do you transfer Pages from one user account to another on the same Mac?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you haven't modified anything, Pages is installed on /Applications. All users have access to this folder, identified as "Applications" on the Finder sidebar, so you don't have to move anything, because Pages will work on all your users.
    If you have installed Pages on ~/Applications (being ~ your user folder), then you have to move Pages to /Applications. After doing this, you will be able to access to Pages on all users

  • How do i transfer data from one internal tabe to another.

    Hi All,
             How do i transfer data from one internal tabe to another.
             Can i do it ebven if he tables are different in structure.
    Please Advice.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Saket Tiwari,
    I hope the earlier post by kashyap is good enough an answer. anywas in addition to it let me give a detailed
    explanation of how you can populate an internal table.
    1) Append data line by line.
         Syntax :  APPEND [<wa> TO / INITIAL LINE TO] <itab>.
    this appends new line to internal table <itab>.
    2) Using COLLECT statement.
                 COLLECT is another form of statement used for populating the internal tables.  Generally COLLECT is used while inserting lines into an internal table with unique standard key. The syntax for COLLECT statement is as shown
         Syntax : COLLECT [<wa> INTO] <itab>.
    3) Using INSERT statement
         Syntax  INSERT [<wa> INTO / INITIAL LINE INTO] <itab> [index <idx>].
    INSERT statement adds a line/work area to the internal table. You can specify the position at which the new line is to be added by using the INDEX clause with the INSERT statement.
    Now coming to your request..
    To append part or all of an internal table
         Syntax
                  APPEND LINES OF <itab1> [FROM <n1>] [TO <n2>] TO <itab2>.
    *     Note:
    Without the FROM and TO options, this statement appends the entire table <itab1> to <itab2>.*
    b) To insert part or all of an internal table into another internal table
         Syntax
              INSERT LINES OF <itab1> [FROM <n1>] [TO <n2>]
              INTO <itab2> [INDEX <idx>].
    c) Using Move statement.
    To copy entire contents of one table into another in one execution
         Syntax MOVE  <itab1> To <itab2>.
                   OR
              <itab1> = <itab2>.
    but u hav to be careful because he contents of itab2 will eb overwritten on the execution of this statement.
    These copy the contents of ITAB1 to ITAB2. Incase of internal tables with header line we have to use [] inorder to distinguish from work area. So, to copy contents of internal tables with header line  the syntax becomes,
    ITAB1[] = ITAB2[].
    Coming to the letter part of your question, Yes, we can copy values between tables having different structures.
    for this we use    
                                MOVE-CORRESPONDING <itab1> TO <itab2>
        this executes the statement for their header lines. Searches for the sub-fields which occur both in itab1 and itab2 and then generates, for all relevant field pairs which correspond to the
            sub-fields ni , statements of the form MOVE itab1-ni TO itab2-ni. The other fields remain unchanged.
    I hope the information provided has been of your help.
    Reward if useful.
    Regards,
    Jose

    This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general iTunes forums.
    Answering quickly, though, if you mean you want to transfer a purchase from one iTunes Store account to another, you cannot.

    Hai,
    You can do profit center posting 9ke0
    Profit center will derive from Material in your case it seems some subtitution changing the correct profit center in material master and putting this wrong profit center
    Profit center is not the deciding factor for COPA reports so there wouldn't be any impact in COPA report
