hey, i have sim city 5 and it has an access code, i transfered my account and logged in on the other computer, yet it wont accept the access code because it has already been used
You shouldn't need to redeem the code again as it would be linked to the Origin account that you redeemed it under originally. As I can see that you do not have the game linked to this account is it possible that you have more than one account?

It is asking me for a Registration code.... but I deleted the e-mail, because I already downloaded it on my previous computer.

When i reinstall my game from origin it tells me to first install sims 3. when i try it tells me to put in my serial code, and then tells me it is already in use. what do i need to do to get my game working again? Thanks!

But, when I log into the other computer, it says "You dont buy it yet into this computer"
How?

What I ended up doing was logging in to my Origin account online, selected a game in my library and started downloading it. As soon as it started to dowload data I would pause the download and then do the same for the next game in my library. When all the games in my library had downloaded a bit of data and were on pause I closed the Origin client and then transferred the contents of the folder for each game from my old hard drive to the game folders that Origin had created on my new computer's hard drive. Then I started Origin up again and one at a time I unpaused the downloads. It would take a minute or two and then the download would either show complete or it would download some additional data. Perhaps this was because there were updates from the version I had on my old computer. In the worst case Origin downloaded 300MB more data for a game. For about half of the games it downloaded nothing additional and the rest downloaded about 10-30Mb of data. Much better than having to download endless GBs of data to get my library back up and running.
hope this works coz i m downloading battlefield 3 on an other computer of mine and want to play it on my computer without redownloading it - does this work for sure?

Yeah, it works great for PC to PC and Mac to Mac, but does it work Mac to PC and vice versa?
