Restart the Mac and hold down Command+Option+R. Choose to reinstall OS X. The version of OS X your Mac came with will be installed.

  • Can I unstall Office 2011 from a Macbook and re-install the same software on a different Mac/Mackbook?

    Hi all,
    I’ve looked around Google and here and I can’t find a definitive answer to my question so hopefully you guys can give me some advice
    I bought the Office package in 2011 when it was new and installed it on my Macbook. I now plan to buy an iMac for the purpose of studying so I'd like to remove it from my Macbook and transfer it to the new Mac. My Macbook is running on the current highest software (the name escapes me at present, I'm not on it to check) and I assume the Mac will be too. If I were to uninstall everything, would I be able to use the same disc (i.e. same unique code) on the other computer? I believe I only have the 1 disc 1 Mac version so can't have two running with the same software.
    Ideally I'd not like to buy another Office package so any advice would be much appreciated. I realise I may not have much choice though...!
    Many thanks for your assistance.
    Kind Regards,

    New Mac's come with OS X 10.8 so you would have to check compatibility of your software with the new OS X versions.
    http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Next you will have to check if the software will install or not on 10.8 from the disk, since the disk is static it can't change for newer OS X versions, however the software itself might run fine if a more recently updated version is downloaded  and installed, then the license key entered.
    Far as licensing concerns, you will have to check with the developer how to go about deauthorizing, uninstalling and getting a new license key for the new machine or if you can continue to use the existing one.
    Most licenses are for one machine, however some can be multiple machine packs.
    If you don't exactly need Office specifically to work with other Office users, you can also install the free LibreOffice and it can open your Office files.
    The thing with Office is it's widely used in businesses, so if you learned it already then it doesn't make much sense to continue using it and paying money for only personal use.
    https://www.libreoffice.org/
    LibreOffice is truly cross platform, Linux, OS X and Windows. The files are easily exchange and many Mac users are thrilled using it apparently as the developers have commented a great deal of Mac users are installing it.
    If you have trouble installing, it's likely Gatekeeper security that's on the new 10.8 machines, simply hold control key and click on the installer/program and select "Open" and it will remmeber it's a trusted program from then on.

  • I just got my Mac back from Apple repair and I can't burn a disc. What do I need to do to make that happen?

    I just got my Mac back from Apple repair and I can't burn a disc. What do I need to do to make that happen?

    Hello deneye2112,
    Thank you for providing the details of the burning issue you are experiencing.  I found some resources that I think might help:
    First, I recommend resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac (I wasn't sure if you had a removable battery or a built in battery, so I listed the steps for both):
    Resetting the SMC on Mac portables with a battery you can remove
    Note: Learn about removing the battery on MacBook and MacBook Pro.
    Shut down the computer.
    Disconnect the MagSafe power adapter from the computer, if it's connected.
    Remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Reconnect the battery and MagSafe power adapter.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your ownNote: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    You can find the full article here:

    If you are still having trouble with burning after that step, I recommend reviewing the section titled "Top troubleshooting tips" in the following article:

    Dear I need to upgrade my Mac Bookpro from 10.4.11 to the latest software is there is any solutions in order to buy install the software online through itunes or so

    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    (NB: PowerPC applications can still be run in Snow Leopard using Rosetta, but they will not work in later versions of OS X.)
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes.
    You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
    You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    iCloud system requirements:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
    If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):

  • Can a Mini use a hard disk from a Macbook and boot OK?

    My Macbook in the shop getting repaired for the RSD problem. I pulled the 120GB HD I had installed and put in the factory HD when I sent it out.
    I needed a computer so I bought a Mac Mini with only a 80GB HD. My question is; can I swap out the HD and let the mini use the OS X install from the Macbook and boot up properly or is it like windows and the version of the OS is slightly different due to the hardware?
    MacMini 1.83GHz & Macbook 2GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Hello,
    I've done this with the PowerPC Macs (PowerPC to PowerPC), and it's always worked fine.
    You should be fine doing this as well. Just don't install it in a PowerPC system since it's an Intel version of OS X.
    But, you'll be fine. Understand that you'll likely void the warranty on the Mac Mini, and that removing the drive will be a lot more work than it was in the MacBook.
    But, it will work fine.
    If you don't want to risk the warranty on the Mini, then you may want to just get an external FireWire or USB 2.0 portable hard drive enclosure to install the hard drive in (make sure it's Serial-ATA). And, then you can either boot from the external drive, or use that drive to clone it to your Mini's internal drive.
    I hope this helps.

  • Is it possible to remove my hard drive from the Macbook and install it in a new Macbook Pro?

    I currently have a 2009 Macbook and am wanting to upgrade to a new Macbook Pro.  I have upgraded my hard drive in the macbook to a 500gb and have a duel boot with Windows 7 installed with Boot Camp along with other software that I do not want to lose.  Is it possible to remove my hard drive from the Macbook and install it in a new Macbook Pro?

    A much better solution is to hook your two Mac together and the first time you start the new Mac and it asks if you wish to recover data from another Mac, answer yes. This will invoke Setup Assitant which will do the job for you but intelligently.
    I know because I just used Setup Assitant. It worked like  a charm.

    thank you

    Do you have an Apple TV.  In which case AirPlay or if your Mac is too old, Eric Root's AirParrot suggestion.
    If no Apple TV, then a miniDisplay Port to HDMI adaptor and an HDMI cable  (a Thunderbolt to HDMI adaptor is really the same as a miniDisplay Port to HDMI adaptor).
