If you still can run the Bitcoin client that you had been using then the easiest way would be to simply send your balance (perhaps divided up into chunks) to addresses you have created in the new wallet (with the newer Bitcoin client).

Be sure to make the first such transfer a small amount just to check that it works properly.
With CIYAM anyone can create 100% generated C++ web applications in literally minutes.

Was the old app the bitcoin client? And if yes did you backup the wallet before losing access?

If all you have is the address, you're out of luck mate.

I hope by "address" you mean "private key"...

You see what you have to do is upload the wallet with a website like mega-upload and send me a private message with the link. That's all there is to it, pretty simple right!

If one can not confer upon another a right which he does not himself first possess, by what means does the state derive the right to engage in behaviors from which the public is prohibited?

Lol!!! It's easier if the link is shared, so we all can use our computing power to recover and send the bitcoins to the user's new wallet!

It is not good for newbies coming to the forum to read kiddies like those. This is hurtful for a help forum.
