Recently bought new macbook pro , transferred data over and thought microsoft office would work on new laptop. Icons are there , although don't have my key codes!! should i just buy new software package ?

recently bought new macbook pro , transferred data over and thought microsoft office would work on new laptop. Icons are there , although requires key codes and I don't have my key codes anymore as dog chewed the packaging!! should i just buy new software package ?  I am told that this is a microsoft issue not a mac issue !! But all my other data on the old macbook pro transferred over even the icons for office for mac on the bottom app bar. only now I can't open any of my word or excel files without key code! I thought that there may have been something that could be done before having to bite the bullet and fork out for new software package.??

If this is Office for Mac 2011 then it will work on your new computer. Reinstall it. If you don't have the key code call Microsoft's activation line to get a new key code. Explain that you lost the original key code and want to install Office on your new computer.

  • Dear Community, i recently bought a macbook pro with retina display and i have been seeing some issues lately regarding the headphones output , even though the headphones are plugged in the output shifts to external speakers again again , help needed

    i need help or a working solution , apple call here

    Luckily I reinstalled the software and the problem just disappeared , and now for all those facing the same problem after reinstalling mountain lion don't update to 10.8.1 , cause only after that update earlier was when the problem started showing up , along with that don't reinstall lion using your recovery on your harddrive it takes 23 hours to install because it downloads the software first and then does all the installation so just download the app for mountain lion from the AppStore first and then make a bootable USB installation disk out of it , I'm sure you'll find a tutorial on google on how to make a recovery USB out of it , as for your data and stuff I moved all my stuff to an external hard drive and then performed a reinstall I recommend you do the same . The steps are simple after making the USB insert it and then reboot when the computer turns itself on press the alt/option key and then their will be a list of options there you will see your mt lion USB boot into it , select disk utility and then your Macintosh HD , WARNING IN THIS STEP YOU WILL ERASE YOUR HARD DRIVE COMPLETELY MAKE SURE YOU BACKUP ALL YOU DATA BEFORE PERFORMING THIS STEP I WON'T BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DATA LOSS DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK, so choose your drive , go to the erase tab choose Mac os extended journaled usually the first option from the drop down menu and name it Macintosh HD again click on erase and then after thats done close the utility , now select the option to install mt lions copy from the first menu and then chose your Macintosh HD that we erased eirlier and install, it takes about 20-40 mins depending on your Mac and then viola the problem will disappear , well at least it did for me . Here is the link on HOW TO MAKE A LION RECOVERY USB

  • I just recently bought a mackbook pro from a friend and i did a restore on the computer. then it told my i needed a apple id that purchased lion. so i got on apple and purchased it. should a get some kind of code or what do i need to do now?

    So i just recently bought a macbook pro from a friend and i did a restore on it to start fresh. when i got to the point to install it. it said i needed an apple that has allready purchased it to install. so i got on apple site and purchased it. so should i get somkind of code or what do i do now?

    When you attempt to reinstall, it will ask for the AppleID.

  • I recently bought a macbook pro and i made a new apple id. my last macbook had a different id as well and i was wondering if there's a way of transferring all my music from the other laptop to the new one without having to use my old apple id?

    i recently bought a macbook pro and i made a new apple id. my last macbook had a different id as well and i was wondering if there's a way of transferring all my music from the other laptop to the new one without having to use my old apple id? if it makes any type of difference i have an iphone 5 so i tried transfering the music but it only transfered certain things and not my entire album.

    Making a new Apple ID was the worst thing you could of done. This is very bad to do. Not sure why people do that. Your Apple ID is Your Apple ID. You only need one and it is best to only have one Apple ID for all apple devices.
    Sorry I don't have any suggestions for you.

  • I recently bought a macbook pro retina and while I'm using it a yellow triangle pops up then disappears. I don't know what it says. How do I find out whats wrong?

    I recently bought a macbook pro retina and while I'm using it a yellow triangle pops up then disappears. I don't know what it says. How do I find out whats wrong?

    Oh, by all means. Uninstall it using its uninstaller if you have one. Do not install any anti-malware software as it's unneeded with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion.
    Uninstalling Software: The Basics
    Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash.  Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder.  Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space.  If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
    Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
    Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder.  You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder.  Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
    Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item.  Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder.  Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences.  Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
    Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS.  Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
    If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term.  Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default.  You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
    Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The item generally has a ".pkg" extension.  Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
    There are many utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:
        1. AppZapper 2.0.1
        2. AppDelete 3.2.6
        3. Automaton 1.50
        4. Hazel
        5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
        6. CleanApp
        7. iTrash 1.8.2
        8. Amnesia
        9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
      10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1

  • I'm a singer and recently bought a Macbook Pro.  I'd like to use it to play music through my PA system but it doesn't seem compatible as no sound is coming through.  It is however coming through my smaller Bose system.

    I'm a singer and recently bought a Macbook Pro.  I'd like to use it to play music through my PA system but it doesn't seem compatible as no sound is coming through.  It is however coming through my smaller Bose system.  My main system is Alto APM80.1000 with Proel speakers.

    Hi it's a headphone jack and two larger (microphone type jacks?) at the other end.  Please excuse my not not knowing the name of anything - I know where everything goes but not the names!  So if I press Alt and the sound icon at the same time what output should I be choosing?
    I've tried plugging into the red and white tape in tape out and the front of the amp with a headphone/red and white jack lead and a slight sound comes out but of bad quality.
    When I'm going through my bose it's an easy headphone to headphone lead and is working perfectly.
    Thanks

  • I recently bought a macbook pro 15", but i noticed that it ,after i use some hours, it stays hot, very hot. Is it normal ? Can I play Minecraft relaxed ?

    Hello...
    I recently bought a macbook pro 15 and i noticed that it stays hot while i am using it. Is it normal ? Is there a problem if i play minecraft on it ? How can i decrease the temperature ? Thanks for everybody !

    MBP is designed to sit on hard/flat surface to maximize airflow arond the unit.  Also the aluminum body is part of the heat dissipation.
    Use this to monitor temperatures: http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/20364/istat-pro
    Also know that the unit can run very hot (to human touch) under load, and will power down before it burns up.
    Holding it on your lap (if you are) will make the still-acceptable running temps seem high.

  • I just bought my macbook pro 2 weeks ago and have noticed that when I go to start it up, it takes longer to power up than when I first bought it. Does anyone know why this may be and of a fix for it?

    I just bought my macbook pro 2 weeks ago and have noticed that when I go to start it up, it takes longer to power up than when I first bought it. Does anyone know why this may be and of a fix for it?

    Hi. It could be that the more you pile on the HD, the longer it will take to boot. When I first bought my MBP, it took maybe 30 seconds. But as I began putting more content on the HD, it seemed to take a bit longer to boot. You may also want to consider putting your MBP in sleep mode. That's what I do with mine and it doesn't hurt at all as far as I can tell.
