I moved from an old macbook to a new one.  I copied all my files onto a hard drive.  On trying to setup my mail, i went into documents, microsoft user identities, office 2011 and it shows the database but wont let me select it.  Urgent help pls

I moved from an old macbook to a new one.  I have installed Office for Mac 2011. I copied all my files from my old notebook onto a hard drive.  On trying to setup my mail, i went into my hard drive and accessed microsoft user identities, office 2011 and it shows the database but wont let me select it.  Its almost as if the file is there but not accessable.  I desperately need to access my old mail.  How do I do this?  I am fairly confident that I copied all files off my old notebook.  Is there a way for me to search for the Database file?  Maybe I copied it to a different location?  Urgent help please.

Hello mafrerichs and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Simplest way is to use Target Disk mode:
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode - Apple Support
and hook to another Mac and use CCC or SuperDuper and clone your HD to another drive.
You could also pull the drive out of your MBP and use an external USB case or SATA - USB dongle to hook it to another Mac.

That's a little confusing?

  • How can I move Acrobat 9 Pro from my old MacBook to a new one?

    Hi there,
    How can I move Acrobat 9 Pro from my old MacBook to a new one?
    Thanks!

    Hi cialbert,
    Do you have the install media? If not, you can download Acrobat from here: Download Acrobat products | 9, 8 - Adobe.  You'll need your Acrobat serial number (see Find your serial number quickly - Adobe).
    Note, as well, that the licensing agreement allows you to activate the software on up to two computers. If you've already activated it on two computers, deactivate on one before installing on the new computer (see Activation & Deactivation Help).
    I think that should take care of it! Please let us know if you need additional help.
    Best,

  • How can i copy programs, like photoshop, excel, from an old macbook to my new one?

    HOw can I copy programs like photoshop, excel, ...., from my old macbook to my new one?

    Setup Assistent.
    When you first start the new Mac one of the first question will be do you wish to restore from another Mac. If the other Mac is on the network you can use Setup Assistent to migrate everything over from the old Mac to the new Mac.

  • Is it possible to transfer some games from an old iPad to a new one without loosing all the data?

    Is it possible to transfer some gMes from an old iPad to a new one without losing all my game's data?

    yes
    You will need to copy the whole iTunes folder which is in your user profile on the old computer in Music folder.
    Before you do it make sure iTunes are updates on the old computer and it works without any problems.
    This will copy all your media, music, movies (provided you did not change the default location).
    After the migration you will need to sing in to Apple store again with your Apple ID
    and also authorize your new computer (both done from the tom menu bar in Store.
    Once you are done please deauthorize your old computer (the same menu path) if you are not planning to use it anymore.
    Any problems post here.

    How do I transfer my creative suite from my old Macbook to my new one?
    Any help would be really appreicated! Thanks!

    You don't transfer anything. You simply deactivate on the old system from the Apple menu --> Deactivate and then install from scratch on the new one.

  • I need to transfer CS4 from my old MacBook to my new one, but get error 150:30.

    Have the discs, have the serial number, have the programs transferred to my external drive and even installed on the new Mac, but when I double-click to open any of the programs, I get error code 150:30 and cannot get the program open. What I'd like is to talk to someone at Adobe, or just to have my paid-for programs work on my new machine. I rely on them for my design business...help!

    I should have been more clear that the very brand new computer is the drive-free MacBook Pro which doesn't allow me to just pop in the discs…I think I might have thought of that!
    And actually, I just about to come back and report. Somewhere in all of my reading I saw that someone mentioned that when the CS4 folder is moved to the external drive (or other computer, however you're trying to do it), for whatever reason (bug? deliberate?) it leaves behind that one key FLEXNet Publisher folder that is an integral part of Adobe's "restore your license" process. So I did a search for that folder in my old MacBook's library, found it, copied it separately, then put it into the same folder on the new MacBook, restarted, and BAM! All of my CS4 started working without my even having to go through that Adobe process.
    So, problem solved…hope this helps someone else who finds themselves in this position at this late date in the CS4 lifespan...

  • I want to move Pages from my old macbook to  my new one. How do I do that best?

    I am moving from my 2007 Late, 13 inch Macbook to a new Macbook Pro, Retina, 15 inch, 2013 Early. I am not sure how best to do this and stay within the proper guidelines for Copyright.

    If you have iWork installed from a retail box you need to use that DVD to install on the new Mac. If your purchase was a "single-user" license (actually single computer), you will need to delete the iWork folder from the Applications folder on the older Mac to stay within the software license. Unlike other software companies, Apple doesn't track installations.

  • After using migration to transfer data from my old MacBook to my new one, I can't find pages and I don't really want to pay to redownload it.

    I had all the data from my old one to my new one, and now I can't find pages on my new macbook air... any suggestions?

    Anything purchased from the Mac App Store will appear under "Purchased". Download it. You don't have to pay for it again.
    If you purchased iWork on disc, copy it from the old MacBook.

  • How do I transfer all my stuff from my old mac to my new one?

    got a new macbook pro today, how do i transfer all the information from my old macbook to this new one? I don't really know what time machine is other than it makes backups, so will time machine help me accomplish what im trying to do? if not, what else can i do that is inexpensive.
    thanks!

    Simplest is to startup the new machine and when the setup assistant asks if you want to transfer stuff from another computer, say yes, hook up the old one, and follow the instructions. Any other procedure, and there are many, are more time-consuming and don't do the job any better than that. BTW, that should be described in the little manual that came with the machine.

  • I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it

    I have recently transferred data from my old Mac to my new one. The result was good, but I have 2 users now, whose data I want to merge into 1 single user, so to avoid having to switch from one user to the other to view and use certain files. How to do it?

    Here's an easy way:
    Pick the user that you want to eliminate (making sure that the remaining user has administrator privileges) and move all of the data that you want to keep into the Shared folder. Reboot or log out and login to the user you want to keep. Copy all the data from the Shared folder into your account - placing it neatly in folders (Documents, Music, Movies, etc.).
    Once the data is moved, log into the account you want to delete just once more to make certain that you've grabbed all the data you want to keep. Log out and log back into your admin account and go to System Preferences>Users & Groups and delete the 'old' user.
    That should do it.

    Honestly, all the people in all the world that look at this forum, no-one can tell me why my itunes is causing my machine to fall over?
    I wiped the machine and started again. Fresh XP install, fresh iTune download, fired it up imported one album and bang. Over it went. I've PC Checked the hard ware, mad onioned the system to see if it's a resource thing but it's rock solid until i open iTunes. Then after every re-boot, the message is back in the event log.
