How do I load iWork from old imac to my new one?

I just purchased a new iMac.  I had iWork '08 on my old one.  How do I install iWork that I already own onto my new computer?  I have discs, but of course the new computer doesn't have a disc drive.

Assuming you still have the old Mac, and the two Macs are on the same network you should be able to do it using DVD or CD Sharing.
On the old Mac in System Preferences>Sharing, tick 'DVD or CD Sharing', and the disk should appear on the desktop of the new Mac when connected over the network. From there you should be able to install.
Once installed on the new Mac you'll need to update iWork using Software Update to be compatible with MLion:

  • How do I transfer iWorks from old MacBook to a new one?

    I have a first generation MacBook Air and need to transfer my iWork applications (Pages, Numbers, Keynote) to a new MacBook Air.  Not referring to the files that were created with the Apps, I mean the Apps themselves.

    The easiest way would be to use the original installer or to download the apps from the App Store again. If that's not feasible use Migration Assistant to transfer all your application from the old computer to the new one. (MA doesn't let you choose which programs, it does them all.)

  • Transferring Abobe CS5 from old iMac to a new one

    I'll be getting a new computer later this year. How easy is it to transfer Adobe CS5 from my old iMac to my new one? Thanks for any help.

    Let me try to simplify things for you.
    You can install CS5 on you new MAC. For that, as Dov said, deactivate CS5 from your old machine and then install it using the dvd installer or downloaded installer on the 2nd machine.
    If you donot have a dvd drive on the new MAC, you can use your old MAC and copy the disc to its desktop and bring it over to new MAC using usb drive.
    Alternatively, you can download CS5 directly on you new MAC using the below website but make sure to read the "Very Important Instructions", mentioned on that website, very carefully before downloading it.

  • How do i move data from old hard drive to new one?

    Just bought a 750GB Hitachi hard drive for my MacBook Pro.  What is the best way to move the new data to it?  Load it from a time machine backup, or as one source says, install a clean copy of Snow Lepoard, then upgrade to Lion, then copy the data?  Any thoughts?

    I just used this posting from Apple to copy all my Time Macine files from one drive to a new one, using OS 10.8.4  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5096

  • How to transfer purchased songs from old PC to a new one?

    Hi -
    Any ideas on how to transfer my songs stored in iTunes on my old computer to the newly installed iTunes on my new computer? As I am looking through the postings, it doesn't seem possible, but I would like to make sure.
    For example, is it possible to transfer some of my songs through my iPod Suffle (after I load it up with songs stored in my old PC)? After I installed the iPod software on my new PC, my Suffle was reformated, hence is currently empty...
    So much trouble for what I thought was going to be a simple switch!!! Please help!
    Thanks!

  • How do I transfer files from old computer to the new one

    I have bought the desktop and used migration asiitant to transfer files but nothing came through, how do i transfer files

    Your best option of migrating was when your turned on the new computer for the first time using Setup Assistant. Part of SA is it asks if you are migrating from another Mac, you apparently passed that and missed that opportunity. You then must have used Migration Assistant which is similar to SA but with one critical difference. Migration Assistant migrates everything to a new user account whereas SA would not. Log out of your existing account and into the new account and you will find your stuff. If you want to start over (highly recommended) you can. You will need to carefully read Lion Setup Assistant tips beginning where he discusses Second Chance.... This will take some time but in the long run make your migration more seamless.

    Hi mshields1162,
    Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    First, you may want to choose to have the sidebar displayed for familiarity:
    iTunes 11: Frequently used features
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5649
    Afterwards, your device should be displayed if connected:
    We'll want to click on it, and choose the Music tab at the top. Let's make sure "Sync Music" is checked:
    Afterwards, you'll have the option to sync either the entire music library (for your first iPod), or "Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres" (for the secondary device). Upon selecting this option, four larger option boxes will appear allowing you to pick and choose what content will be synced. For audiobooks, you may need to do the above in the "Books" section. For a visual instruction on how to do this, see the following:
    iTunes 10: Sync to your iPod

    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I transferred settings and files from old MacBook air to new one.  New one now gives popup about failing to connect to server (old iMac).  the new Mac air and old iMac have never met and are 2000 miles apart. How do I stop the popups?

    Change your settings in Sharing preferences, for one, and remove the server out of the Finder's sidebar. Obviously, this is the result of transfering all your other computer's preferences to your new computer.

  • Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hello, I have transferred my Acrobat XI Pro from old MAC to the new one. After the transfer can not open any PDF file. Any idea how to solve this?

    Hey ilyaz20360341,
    Could you please specify how exactly did you transfer Acrobat from one MAC to other.
    You might need to deactivate the software from your old machine and then activate it on the new one with the same serial number (for Acrobat license) or Adobe credentials (for Acrobat subscription).
    If you have done the same way, then let me know if you are able to open Acrobat itself.
    Do you get any specific error message while opening a PDF?
    Hope to get your response.
    Regards,
    Anubha

    Don't migrate wirelessly unless you have a very fast wireless connection. Anything other than 5 GHz 802.11n is likely to take an unacceptable amount of time.

  • I can't migrate files from my old imac to a new one.

    I can't migrate files from my old imac to a new one. I'm using a firewire 800 to a thunderboldlt adapter, my new imac doesn't find the source. Would a usb 2 to usb 2 work?

    Did you put your old iMac in Target Disk mode? You need to do this to use Migration Assistant to transfer your files to the new iMac.
    Hold the T key while your old iMac is starting up to start up in Target Disk mode. After doing this, your new iMac will detect it as an external drive, so now you can transfer your files through Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5872?viewlocale=en_US

    how to transfer CS6 from old macbook pro to new one?
    many thanks - is it something to do with deactivation?
    How long does it take for the whole process?

    do not transfer.  install all adobe products (including cs6) using their installer.
    the whole process depends on a number of factors, but generally takes more than 10 minutes and less than 2 hours.  the biggest factor is your download speed if you need to download the installation file(s).
    Downloads available:
    Suite:  CC | CS6 | CS5.5 | CS5 | CS4 | CS3
    Acrobat:  XI, X | 9,8
