Converting MacBook applications to MacBook Pro

I have a MacBook and I recently just purchased a MacBook Pro (actually yesterday). It is my understanding if I have a firewire and connect it to both computers, I can tranfer files to my Pro.
My question is....will the applications transfer over as well? I have Word, Excel, etc. and I don't really want to purchase another one if I can transfer applications to the Pro.
Thanks in advance
Edit: Oh,I forgot...greetings Mac Peoples and thanks for having me around!!!

I've used the migration assistant in the past and it brought everything over at least with office. I think photoshop I found that it was better to install it. Being If you have photoshop you'll need to deauthorize it on your old computer before putting it on your new.
All of apple's applications came over no problem, and MS office like I said. As the other poster mentioned all you need is the product keys and you can reinstall if you choose not to use the migration asst. no need to re-purchase them. The only caveat there is that you cannot use them on your old computer as per the EULA.

  • I am trying to open pptx files on my MacBook Pro and continue to get "No Text Converter is installed for this application" even though I have dowloaded several converters that were supposed to work and I just downloaded Apache Open Office 3.4.1

    I am trying to open pptx files on my MacBook Pro and continue to get "No Text Converter is installed for this application" even though I have dowloaded several converters that were supposed to work and I just downloaded Apache Open Office 3.4.1 with no luck.  I am able to open docx files with the converters I have installed but not pptx files.

    The PPTX file type is primarily associated with 'Power Point' by Microsoft Corporation.
    This is the new format for Microsoft Office documents.
    It is a combination of XML architecture and ZIP compression for size reduction.
    To open Office 2008 for Mac documents (format .xlsx, .docx, .pptx) in Office for Mac 2004, you must download and install the Open XML File Format Converter. This article describes how to obtain and install the Open XML File Format Converter for Mac.

    Instead of all that, and buying OfficeMac etc...
    Try to see if the FREE LibreOffice suite will open the file on your Mac.

  • How do I convert MP4 file to AVI or MOV using MacBook Pro (2010)

    I am 10.6.4 new user on a new MacBook Pro. This is my first Mac computer.
    I want to convert a MP4 video file to AVI or MOV file type. How would I do this on my new Mac? Documentation says I have Quicktime X, but I cannot find Quicktime X on my system. When I try to load Quicktime 7 Pro, my system says I have Quicktime X and cannot load Pro. Apple websites say Pro version will allow me to convert the MP4 files. Anyone have any experience or ideas on what I should do? How do I find Quicktime X? Will it do the conversion for me? Thanks

    Use MPEG Streamclip, or open the QuickTime Player from the /Applications/Utilities/ folder, installing this software if needed.

  • My Macbook Pro with 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo (Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger) can convert to Lion?

    my Macbook Pro with 2.16GHz Intel Core Duo (Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger) can convert to Lion?
    Toyoo

    These are some of the most common Questions (Q) and Answers (A) about Lion:
    Q: What are the system requirements of the Lion upgrade?
    A: Core2Duo, Core i3, i5, i7, and Xeon Intel CPUs with 2 GB of RAM in a Macintosh computer with 2 GB of RAM, and 4 GB (7 GB after installed) for downloading from the Mac App Store (Available in 10.6.6 and later). Unofficially, past upgrades have arbitrarily also required an additional 15% of the hard drive to be free for data.
    Q: What applications are compatible with Lion?
    A: http://roaringapps.com/apps:table provides a nice third party editable listing for people to include the compatible applications. Many of these compatibility entries came from before Lion's release. Please verify they are correct now that it has been released, and help edit it for more accurate data. Be sure to include any update version of Lion post release that you have found is or is not compatible with it, for the help of others who may be upgrading to Lion the first time. Additionally, as it was released, there is no Rosetta. This means any application that is stated to be PowerPC in the System Profiler, will not work with Lion, and needs a comparable application or upgrade to be compatible. The System Profiler is in Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info. Intel and Universal applications are on the whole supported, though may still need some tweaking before every feature is compatible.
    Q: Are there any pitfalls to watch out for?
    A: With all upgrades, backing up your data at least twice has been a given. Hardware can fail independently of downloads and upgrades, though may happen simultaneously. Software may be found to be incompatible that has not been tested with the new upgrade, or combination of other software that might be installed with the upgrade. It is also strongly recommended once your backup is complete, to shut down your computer, remove all but Apple wired keyboard and mouse (notebooks remove all input devices). Then once done, reboot, and go directly to the upgrade distribution system available. Third party system tools, modification, and "maintenance" applications should be verified as compatible, or removed until known to be compatible. Check with developers how to remove if it is essential to use Lion before those applications become compatible. Most "maintenance" tools that deal with system cache, prebinding, are not really maintenance tools. Ask on forum when are the appropriate times to use them before assuming they should be used for upgrades or otherwise.
    Q: How can I get from 10.4 or 10.5 to 10.6.6?
    A: Purchase a 10.6 retail installer from an Apple retail or third party reseller. It has a picture of a Snow Leopard on the DVD, and does not say Upgrade, Dropin, or OEM. Install it, and then install the 10.6.6 combo update from:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1349
    Q: Is it true that I can only get it from the Mac App Store?
    A: Presently this truth is based on current documentation as of the writing of this article. It may change, but we can't speculate as to its change. It has a better chance of changing if users request something different at:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    Q: What limitations might one encounter if it doesn't change?
    A: First off the 7 GB space limitation on the hard disc after it is installed. Secondly, the size of the download file requires significant time, unless you have a high speed broadband connection. Times expected are below -
    4 GB at:
    5Mbps is 2 hours.
    at 1 Mbps is 10 hours.
    at 384 kbps is 27 hours.
    at 56k kbps is 184 hours (nearly 8 days).
    If you include the 10.6.6 combo update of 1.06 GB
    add 29 minutes for 5 Mbps
    145 minutes (2 and 25 minutes) for 1 Mbps
    6 and a half hours for 384kbps
    A 24 hour day and 15 hours (for a total of a minimum of 39 hours) for 56kbps
    Remember the retail 10.6 currently does not include the App Store, and those upgrading from 10.5.8 or earlier will need to both buy the retail 10.6, and download the combo 10.6.6 update, not to mention ensure they have the correct processor and 2 GB of RAM. Finally once it is available, you'll have find out how long approximately it takes to install after the download is complete.
    These times do not include installation time, which on a MacBook Pro 3,1 15" installing on a Firewire 800 Newertech Voyager with WD10ACS-322J80 drive, 10.6.7, took 1 hour and a half to complete the installation from double clicking the install command to the registration screen. These times may vary by connection speeds from a non-dedicated connection, or background application usage of the internet. Any applications running when the installation process begins might interfere with the installation itself, and they should be quit first.
    The installer just before it starts has in its package contents an InstallESD.dmg file a DVD burnable image to install on additional computers in the home without downloading over again. So if you desire to reinstall without an extra internet download, extract that file, by selecting the installer in the dock, and control-clicking it, and revealing it in the Finder. Next Control-mouse click it, and select show package contents. Inside that folder is a Shared Support folder. That's where you find the DMG.
    Q: If I purchased a Mac recently, can I get it cheaper?
    A: Yes, visit http://www.apple.com/macosx/uptodate/ for details.
    Q: When will Lion become available?
    A: It became available July 20, 2011.
    Q: Which Macs can run Lion?
    A: Look at Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info, and see if you meet the Machine ID and RAM requires under the hardware. 2 GB is required for all These Machine IDs will run Lion:
    Mac Mini 2,1 and later
    MacBook 2,1 and later.
    iMac 5,1 and later.
    All MacBook Air.
    MacBook Pro 2,1 and later
    All MacPros.
    The Macs with the Machine IDs below will not run Lion (x can be any number):
    Mac Mini 1,x or PowerMac x,x
    MacBook 1,x
    MacBook Pro 1,x
    iMac 4,x, 3,x, 2,x, 1,x

  • How to convert VCR Tape to DVD on MACbook Pro?

    Any insight into how to convert VCR tapes to DVD on Macbook Pro would be much appreciated!

    The first question is:  how to get video into your Mac? 
    My answer is:  use a DV camcorder as a translator.  Most Canons and Sonys do this.  Here are some general steps:
    1.  connect the video and audio outputs of your VCR to the input jacks of the camcorder.  (If the video is on an S-video jack instead of the conventional yellow phono jack, it will be a little bit better quality.) 
    2.  Using your camcorder's menu, set it to "AV IN->DV OUT".  This will vary according to the model of your DVCAM.  One hint:  all camcorders have a 3-position camera/off/play(vcr) switch.  In this application, most of them use the PLAY position. 
    3.  Connect the DV out of the camcorder to a firewire port on the Mac.  This requires the cable that comes with the camera...it's a mini-firewire on one end, and a regular firewire 400 on the other.  (If your Mac has only a FW 800 jack, you may need another adapter.) 
    4.  Turn on the DVCAM.  Usually, iMovie will automatically open and be ready to record...if not, start it. 
    5.  Hit PLAY on the VHS machine.  You should see the video in the iMovie window.  When you see what you want to save, press iMovie's button to start recording.  You're free to edit the movie in any way you want. 
    When you have enough for a DVD, save it and use iDVD to burn a disc. 
    Alternatively, if you want to save a step, you can skip the iMovie step and just open up iDVD and select the feature...I forget the exact name...but it's like "Quick Movie" that will just save it as one stream. 

  • Just upgraded to MacBook Pro running 10.8.4.  Want to convert old movie files to put in Itunes.  Can't upgrade QT player preinstalled, so downloaded QT Player 7 and purchased QTPlayer 7 Pro registration code.  Can not get it to upgrade.  Called Apple 2x.

    Want to convert old movie files to put in Itunes.
    What does "old movies" mean to you? File type, audio and/or video compression format(s)?
    Can't upgrade QT player preinstalled, so downloaded QT Player 7 and purchased QTPlayer 7 Pro registration code.  Can not get it to upgrade.
    Did you follow the instructions found here?
    If you have a fix, you can email me direct at [email protected]
    To which fix do you refer? Activatng QT 7 Pro or converting the files? Even with QT 7 Pro activated you may need to modify your QT codec component configuration depending on the file type and compression formats used to encode your "old movies." There may be many different problems here with each having one or more "fixes." Please try to be more specific regarding your questions. Converting a muxed VOB MPEG2/AC3 file would be very different different from converting an AVI DivX5/MP3 file depending on which application you are attempting to use.

    Hi Shane,
    Just one more quesiton re: this topic, I am looking to get rosetta but do not have Leopard or Snow Leopard...
    I read that it is not on Snow Leopard only on Leopard....so do I need to get only Leopard? Can u advise?
    Alternatively I do have Mac OS X Tiger so is it on this and can I install it from here?
    Please excuse my lack of knowledge here, just trying to get my FCP 6 up and running asap....
    Best Rgds.

  • Application Manager not working on Retina Display Macbook Pro

    At work, I am using a Retina Display Macbook Pro running Lion and cannot get my application manager to work.

  • Viewing application windows in full size on a macbook pro

    I connect my macbook pro to a 23 inch screen in my office. When not connected to this external screen, I find that one of my windows in Interface Builder is longer than the vertical length of my 17" macbook screen. How do I scan down to see the bottom portion of my IB screen? I suspect this is a problem with any application window this is maximized on a large external screen and then viewed on the laptop's much smaller screen. Thanks for any help!!

    Most applications have a menu item labeled Window and if you drop down Window, usually there will be a Zoom selection. If Interface Builder has that, try clicking on Zoom and see if the trouble window snaps back to being within the smaller screen of the MBP.
    Another method that might work, if there are other open windows in Interface Builder for which you can see the green resize button at the top left of the window, try Option-clicking on that green button and that should cause the resize action to take place for all of IB's open windows.
    If that doesn't work, one thing you can try is lowering the MBPs resolution through Displays preferences and then restoring the original resolution. That should have the effect of resizing all the open windows to a screen fitting size.
    If none of those work, write back. I still have two other methods that might work but I'm getting tired of typing these out

  • I have an iPod G2 with a firewire 400 lead. how can I attach it to my new 13 inch Mac book Pro, is there a 400 to 800 firewire converter. USB lead wont work with the Macbook Pro. iPod used as an external drive to archive memory cards on the go.

    My G2 iPod that I use as an external drive to archive memory cards on the go cannot link with my new 13" Macbook Pro cause it uses a firewire 400 lead. It will not work with a USB lead. Is there a firewire 800 ipod lead or converter available? Can any one shed some light on this please?

    As far as I know, if a harddrive works with a Macpro, it should work with the Macbook: if your Macbook is low on power, plug in the AC adapter
    If your Macbook has a firewire port, then it should be fine. BUt i would do somemore research first.

  • Message application text messages on macbook pro from iPhone

    When I first got my macbook pro, my iphone text messages popped up in the Messages application on my macbook, but now they don't. How do I fix that?

    HI,
    If you mean SMS messages you can't.
    That is not part of the "Sync" function of the iMessages side of the Messages app on both Mac and iOS device.
    Basically the iOS version can send iMessages when it and the recipient are on Wifi.
    At other times it will send SMS messages (if this is enabled on both devices).
    However only the iMessages ones will sync to other iOS device and the Mac that are using the same Apple ID.
    NOTE the "Sync" is only Display on All Devices and each is then independent of anything you do to the messages on one device.
