How can I transfer older Microsoft Office docs to my new macbook pro?

Hi... I had an older macbook pro OS X (10.5.8). The mother board went on it but I was able to transfer all of my files to a passport hard drive. My new, 2013, macbook pro does not accept Microsoft Office apps. Any thoughts... ?
Thanks, Russell

Your new MacBook Pro supports Microsoft Office. The problem is that it only supports Office 2008 and 2011, because Office 2004 and older are PowerPC apps.
Now, if you really need to work with Office documents and you need the highest number of features possible, go for Office 2011 > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
However, if you have basic needs, I recommend you to install LibreOffice. It's free and open-source, and it works with Office files without any problem

  • How can I transfer photos from Apple TV to a new MacBook Pro?  I have My Photo Stream turned on for both.

    I have a new McBook Pro with OS X Mavericks.  I transferred my photos from my old MacBook Pro to my Apple TV.  I turned on My Photo Stream on both my Apple TV and my new MacBook Pro, and I want to transfer my photos to my new MacBook.  Will this work?  It's not transferring them automatically, but I don't know what else I need to do to make it work.  Thank you!

    no you can't only option is to take it apart and put the harddisk in an usb ext harddisk case and connect it to the computer copy the photos to the computer
    take the harddisk out of the ext usb harddisk case and put it back into the appletv and assemble it again

  • How do i completely uninstall microsoft office 2011 from my new macbook pro ?

    I've just recently purchased 2011 for my new 15" Macbook pro but was wandering how to uninstall it as I hardly use it and if I do use word processing/spreadsheet/presentation software I'd much rather use iWork and have office 11 on the disk

    Please note that if Office is being removed to fix a problem prior to re-installing a new copy AppCleaner will not do what is needed, it is important to follow Microsoft's directions exactly, AppCleaner does not.
    Carolyn Samit's link is the correct method.

  • How can I transfer photos from my Imac OS9 to a Macbook Pro OS 10 ? 10

    How can I transfer photos from my Imac OS9 to a Macbook Pro OS 10 ?

    The easiest way is probably to use a USB flash drive (you may have to test whether it is compatible with the Mac OS 9 iMac).
    Somewhat more complicated would be to connect the two computers via Ethernet to (the built-in switch of) a broadband router, and then transfer files over the Internet (or a local network).
    There are other methods as well (FireWire, CD-R, et cetera), depending upon the exact computer models involved.

    It's not completely obvious. What you have to do in Spaces is to position your cursor to the upper right of the screen, after which faint + (plus) sign appears in that area. Click that, upon which another Desktop will appear.
    The + may be difficult or impossible to see with some desktop backgrounds (black, for instance):

  • How do I transfer music from my Nano to my new Macbook Pro?

    I have recently purchased a new MacBook Pro Ret and I cant work out how to transfer music from my Nano to the Mac

    You need to make the new Mac iTunes library your syncing library. iTunes on the Mac sees your iPad as a new device because you have never synced with this computer before. You can make the Mac your syncing computer by following the instructions in this user tip. You will be able to transfer the purchased music on the iPad into iTunes when you follow this procedure.

  • How can I connect my existing firewire drives to the "new" Macbook pro

    I'm thinking about getting a new Macbook Pro, to take on the road.
    I already have four external drives with firewire and USB 2.0 ports.
    After I looked at the new machine I noticed it only had USB 3.0 and Thunderbolt ports.
    I dont see any Firewire to Thunderbolt technology out there nor do I see any  USB3.0 to anything technology. How can I connect my drives to the new system?

    You can use the USB3 connections for USB2.  That's downward compatible.  Just runs at USB2 speed.
    Just this week apple announced a couple of TB adapters, TB-to-ethernet and TB-to-firewire.  But the FW adapter is not at the apple store as yet (at least at the time I am posting this).

    Like all your other files and settings, they will transfer over when you use the Migration Assistant.
    I just tried using Migration Assistant at setup for a lab image. The printer didn't "completely" transfer to the new machine. I say "completely" because, if you go to ~/Library/Printers, you'll see the named printer there, but it doesn't show up in Print & Fax nor does it show up in any print dialog boxes.
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • How can i transfer my music files from iPad 2 to MacBook Pro?

    hello,
    I got my mp3 files from PC and transfer to iPad 2. it works good.
    And I want to transfer this mp3 files from iPad to MacBook Pro.
    I don't know how to do it and it seems like I should 'buy some tranfer program from other website'.
    Should it word that way? or iTunes program can't deal this issue?
    I have changed some music file information (such as Album, Artist, etc) of mp3 files in iPad from iTune in MacBook. Of course, the iPad was connected to the MacBook. However after I disconnected the iPad from the Mac, those changes were not shown in the iPad (edited album name, artist name...). When I connect the iPad to the Mac again, I can see the changes in iTune in the Mac.
    Another issue.
    Does Anybody know how to set calendar from Japanese calendar to Gregorian calendar in iPad 2? When I setup the iPad first time, I might choose wrong calendar but I can't change/see the calendar option from iPad settings...
    I have been used PC for 20 years but to transfer myself to Apple, it's not easy....
    Issue 1 - music file transfer from iPad 2 to MacBook Pro
    Issue 2 - music file info udate in iPad 2 through MacBook and it doen's implied after disconnected.
    Issue 3 - Change calendar from Japanese to Gregorian in iPad 2
    Please advise,
    Have a great day!!

    A free app that can deal with music files is Songbird.
    There are two paid apps that can transfer just about any type of file; TouchCopy and PhoneView

  • I have a model 1,1 Mac Book in the black case.  How can I transfer about 30 GB of stuff to a MacBook Pro running Yosemite?  Can't do a Thunderbolt transfer.  The Seagate backup drive I bought doesn't support 10.5.8.  Thank you.

    How do I transfer 30 GB of stuff, mostly text documents, bookmarks and a few hundred photos from a MacBook model 1,1 in the black case, purchased in (2007?) running Leopard 10.5.8 with a 667 bus, 2 GB, 256 GB to a MBP 13" Retina running Yosemite 10.10.1?  Using Migrate is out.  Discovered after I bought it that the Seagate Plus Backup for Mac does not work with 10.5.8.  OnetoOne recommends backing up my data before I do that, which seems like a good idea.  Have a 801.11 n Time Capsule that also isn't working so that is not presently an option.  Thank you.

    The Seagate backup drive I bought doesn't support 10.5.8
    The only reason I can see for that is it's formatted NTFS, which would likely be Read Only in 10.5.x, if you can reformat it MacOS extended, which would erase everything on it now, then that should work for your purposes.

    Vicky:  The initial question is why do you want to uninstall Microsoft Office 2004?
    If your answer is that you are upgrading to Office 2011, my recollection is that the installation process of Office 2011 will do all of the proper "uninstalling" that is necessary as it installs all of the necessary new files.
    If your answer is that you do not intend to ever use Office again, including any of the data files that were created from it: then at this point, I would suggest that you just leave it alone.  Manually uninstalling raises more risks than it cures.
    Even if you do upgrade to Office 2011, if you have continuous need to have access to your Office 2004 data files, you may find that Office 2011 does not properly translate some of your old files correctly.  I have this problem with an Excel 2004 chart that I access on a weekly basis and it gets trashed by Office 2011. 
    I have solved this problem by installing Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7 in Lion (and reinstalling Office 2004 inside the Snow Leopard environment):
                             [click on image to enlarge]
    In this way I can access my Excel 2004 chart, modify it as needed and save the changes.

  • HT2518 how do i transfer Apps from my iPad to my new Macbook pro

    I am trying to sell my old iPad for a new one with more space, and i have also recently purchased a macbook. What i want to know is how to seamlessly transfer all my APPS, and other files. I have game apps, stoarge apps like skydrive, evereader pro, and other Productivity apps such as iWriter where i have a lot of write-ups in it. With iWriter App, worse case scenarios is that i'll painstakingly copy and paste all that i have written in it; however, this isn't achievable with files I have stored in various folders on my other storage apps i downloaded from the apple store.
    in short, i'd like some help with wiping my ipad clean without losing all that i currently have in it

    Thanks for your reply. I will try your suggestion regarding backing up old device. As for the apps i downloaded, i have no issues downloading them again but what about the ones i had purchased? that's the first question. Secondly, like i mentioned in my original question, a few of the apps i downloaded already have in them files i have copied in (e.g. evereader pro) and some of them like the iWriter and e-Bibles which have write-ups and annotations/highlights respectively. I  would like to know how to (if it's possible, that is) copy those apps into my new device without losing my writings, annotations, saved files etc
