[QUOTE="bmcgonag, post: 415918, member: 29816"] So, for any app, that is compatible with the version of OS it is being moved to, eg. from 10.3.9 to 10.4.9; as long as the app is freeware, than just drag it from the 10.3.9 applications folder to the 10.4.9 applications folder. To do this, attach the two macs together via firewire while turned off, then turn on the main mac and let it boot, and then the other mac while holding down the T key on the main (maybe the other mac, if one doesn't work after a couple tries, try the other way) mac, and it should boot the other mac as an external drive. Make your way through /users/<Your Account>/Applications/ on the other mac and drag the freeware apps from there to the new mac. Do vice-versa from new mac to old. If it is a pay app, you can do the same, but you will need the serial or reg. key to activate them properly I imagine. Best, Brian [/QUOTE]
