Can I transfer Microsoft Office from my old Macbook to my new Macbook Air?
I've recently bought a new Macbook Air.
I use to have a Macbook (white version early 2009) When I first got my mac, I bought the whole microsoft series.
Now I want to see if I can transfer word (I'm not too bothered about the rest) over to my new macbook air.
When I purchase Microsoft office 2008 it was 3 discs and I used one 'go' and sold the other 2. My boyfriend does have the discs, but this is useless for my Air.
Only other thing is I've transferred everything over to my air (I did it manuallay with a usb as I wanted a sort out of photos, music etc, so didn't do migration assistant or whatever it's called.)
If I use migration assistant will it take off all the stuff I've already sorted on my Air? Because I haven't backed it up. I have icloud for my pages documents and itunes match but thats as far as I go.
My operating system is Mac OS X 10.7
I'm not THAT great with macs, only the basics.
Any help would be appreciated:)
If your own MacBook's optical drive works you can use its drive to install software. Start up the MacBook and turn on CD/DVD Sharing (open System Preferences and select the Sharing tab). Put the disk in the MacBook then start up the MacBook Air open a window and down near the bottom under Devices you should see Remote Disc. Open it.
If this doesn't work you can use Migration Assistant to copy all your applications - you can't pick which ones. You'll have to reactivate Office. You don't have to select any of your data for migration.

How can I transfer Microsoft office from my old macbook pro to macbook air
how can I transfer microsoft office from macbook pro to macbook air?
Assuming you have the 2011 version the easiest way is go to Microsoft's Web site and download Mac Office 2011 onto your MacBook Air and then run it. If you have the 2008 (or the 2011) version on disc you can turn on DVD sharing in the Sharing control panel of your MBP and install it by remotely sharing your MBP's DVD.
Since Microsoft uses activation when you start Office on the new computer if you use the same activation code as you used on the MBP you'll probably get a message to call Microsoft. Do so and just explain that you got a new computer. -
Is there a way to transfer Microsoft Office from my old one to the new one?
I recently bought a new Mac Pro. Is there a way to transfer Microsoft Office suite from my old one to the new one?
Setup Assistant (or Migration Assistant, if you decide to migrate your account later) should transfer everything required.

I recently brought a new HP laptop and downloaded iTunes 11 on it. My old laptop which is a Acer has iTunes version 10.7, I believe. I wanted to know, How can I transfer 18 movies from the old iTunes onto my new Itunes? It only shows the most recent two movies when I look at the purchases in my account. I had a lot of moves downloaded last year from the old version and would like some assistance on how to get all those movies into my iTunes 11 library. Thank you.
you should starting with copying the iTunes folder from your old laptop to the new one.
the iTunes folder is in your user profile Music folder.
it should go to the same location on the new laptop.
Provided that you have your media, music and movies in the default location, and you sign in to your apple ID and authorize your new computer (all in iTunes)
you should have all intact.
Post if any problems. -
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.

A playlist is, of course, just a listing of music tracks, or did you want to copy the music too? You do not transfer that from iPod to iPod, you synch the iPod to the same library used with the first one. -
I accidentally dropped by old ipod in the garage and drove over it. So I bought an ipod nano 7th gen. to replace it. Can I transfer the itunes from my old ipod to my new one? I only have about 30.
AAll of your iTunes purchases can be re-downloaded again. Log into iTunes Store, select the Purchases tab for Apps, Music, etc.
if you've been syncing your old iPod with iTunes, you can restore everything to your new iPod from the old backup. -

My original hard drive was replaced due tom multiple errors. Before it crashed completely, I installed a new hard drive and slaved the old one to allow me to access the data and transfer it to the new one. I did not backup the bookmarks. How can I pull the old bookmarks from the old drive to the new installation drive???
Since you said you were able to transfer the data from your old drive to the new one, you probably still have the old Firefox Profile. Please read this article to see if it helps:
