How do I transfer my outlook contacts from my old laptop to my new macbook pro?

need to transfer all my address contacts to my macbook pro from my laptop. the version is outlook Microsoft Outlook 2007. Help!

In Outlook, go to contacts.
Then export them (as VCards).
Copy the VCards to a USB drive or other extern drive that you can access from your MacBook Pro,
Drag/drop the VCards on Address Book and Mac OS X does the rest.
Kind regards

How can I reformat my iPhone from my old PC to my new MacBook Air, without losing everything?

I just got my first Mac, and now I need to reformat my iPhone. I don't want to lose all of my content. My PC iTunes account uses the sample Apple ID as my MAC, so is it just as simple as plugging it into my Mac?

I can't migrate my data from my old pc to my new macbook pro

Hi,
I have been trying to migrate my data from my PC to my new mac but it always seems to fail.
At first, I would begin the migration assistant and then after a while the PC would just crash.
But then I finally thought I managed to get it working. It said that process was complete (on both the PC and mac), but there was no data on my computer and no music in my iTunes.
If anyone has any advice I would really appreciate it!!
PS I also have an Ethernet cable if that's of any use but I don't know how to use it.

I suggest you stop using the Migrastion Assistant. Simple fact is, as you have found out, that it does not work most of the time and when it fdoes actuall transfer data it doesn't do it very well.
Just network the 2 computer together over your LAN and copy and past the files you want to move to the Mac.
Otr use an External drive, formatted either FAT32 or exFAT (doinig the formatting on the Windows PC) and then copy to the external from the Win PC and then copy from the external to the Mac.
You'll be happier.

How can I transfer Adobe Acrobat from my old PC to my New PC?

How can I transfer Adobe Acrobat from my old Laptop to my new laptop?

You have to deactivate and uninstall on the old system and then reinstall on the new system. Whether it works depends on the Acrobat version (looks like you indicated AAX) and OS. You need to be sure to update after the new install. Just transferring files like you imply you want to do is not possible with almost any modern software. The software not only loads files, but sets all sorts of registry entries that would take a lot of time to find. In the past there were some programs that supposedly tried to move programs, but I have not seen mention of one in years.

Backing up the old iPhone with iTunes and restoring to the new one is a good solution. However, if you have difficulties in doing so, you can transfer the data from the old iPhone to the new one directly with the help of iPhone PC Suite or MobileTrans.

How do i transfer a movie from my old hp desktop to a macbook pro?

how do i transfer a movie from my old hp desktop to a macbook pro?
On my old computer I had two movies: Fight Club and Garden State and I'd really like to watch them on my new MacBook Pro! But I dont know how to transfer them onto my new laptop help?!

Right-click them in iTunes, locate the files, move them as you would any other, and drag them into the open iTunes window on the MacBook Pro. iTunes Store rentals can only be moved through an iPod or similar device.

I am attempting to transfer my library from one old laptop to a new one.

Hi there. I am attempting to transfer my library from one old laptop to a new one. I have followed the advice about exporting and importing the xml file but all the playlists are empty?
All my data is stored on an external hard drive which I had hoped would make the process easier. Just thought I wouldn't have to re-build all my playlists in the new library...

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.
