HT1349 How do I transfer programs between macs without having the serial number?

I previously ordered a 2010 macbook pro and had both microsoft office and aperture pre-installed.  I now have a new macbook air and am trying to transfer the two programs over.  I do not have the original packaging since they came pre-installed so I am wondering how I can install them on the new mac without the serial number?

Hey kdoy071,
Thanks for the question. Moving your information with Migration Assistant should do the trick:

If you have OS X Mavericks, see this article:
OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5872
Note that if your previous software is not compatible with the new system or OS, it may not function properly.
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • How to report a stolen lap top without knowing the serial number????

    Hello!
    My lap top was stolen yesterday. I want to report it, but i do bot have the serial number. All I know is that it is Toshiba Satellite A 350. What can I do??? Please, help!

    Hi
    There is a Toshiba page: Registration of Stolen Units:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/STOLEN_UNITS_SUPPORT
    To register the notebook, the computers model number and serial number is needed.
    I think if you dont have this numbers, then you will not be able to register this ;(
    The serial number is unique and therefore its very important.

  • If I have lion installed on one computer, how do I transfer it to another without having to download it? My net is to slow to redownload it. I searched for lion os x.app in finder and couldn't find it.

    If I have lion installed on one computer, how do I transfer it to another without having to download it? My net is to slow to redownload it. I searched for lion os x.app in finder and couldn't find it.

    Downloading Lion from the Mac App Store didn't put the Lion OS on your computer. It put an application package called Install Mac OS X Lion on your computer; specifically, in your Applications folder.
    If you install from the Install Mac OS X Lion application package inside your Applications folder, the application package (the installer) will be deleted once the installation is complete. You must copy the installer to another location or to another drive/media before you run it to upgrade to Lion - if you didn't do that, then you have to download it again.
    If you did copy the installer, then you can just copy it over to any other Mac you own which meets Lion's minimum system requirements and run it again to upgrade those other Macs to Lion.

  • How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number

    How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number?

    The find my iphone app has nothong to do with it.
    That app simply allow you to find other devices using your ipod.  It has nothing to do with fining the device on which it is installed.
    If you set up the find my ipod feature that is built into your ipod and the ipod is on and it is connected to wi-fi and it has not been restored, then you may be able to get an approximate street address using icloud.
    Othrewise, it cannot be tracked.

  • Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online?

    Can anyone tell me how to install a network printer driver without having the network printer online? It doesn't matter what manufactors make the network printers. Is a netwaork printer(with network card) has to have that printer on line to be able to install
    the driver? This is the point of my question!
    I've ask a same type of question previously, but I can't either get good answer nor reply on the response.

    DP
    The computer (and driver) have to handshake with the printer, QED it has to be either online or physically connected and if it is physically connected it wont work on the network so yes it does.

  • How can i start aperture without retyping the serial number?

    how can i start aperture without retyping the serial number?

    Quit Aperture.
    Go to your Macintosh HD and open the folder "Library", then "Application Support", then "ProApps".
    Remove the File "ProAppsSystemID" to the Desktop, if it exist and restart Aperture.
    Reenter your serial number, hopefully for the last time.

    I scratched my itunes card an i scratched off the serial number in  the process. How can i recover it.

    If you cannot track it via iCloud, then you unforunately out of luck and will have to hope for the best.  You can try and retrace your steps as well.  There is no way to track it.

  • Copying queries between multicubes without having the same info objects

    Hello all,
    I have heard that it should be possible to use the debugger in order to copy a report between two multiproviders without having the exact same info objects in both multiproviders. All the info objects in the report are off course available in both multiproviders.
    Could anyone explain to me how this should be done?
    Best regards,
    Fredrik

  • Hi...My IPod touch was recently stolen. I have an Itunes account..can I retreive the serial number of my IPod Touch from my Itunes account? If, so...how may I do this. If I have the serial number, the local police can check the serial numbers at pawn shop

    Hi...My Ipod Touch was recently stolen. In order to help the local police deptartment I need to supply a seria number for the Ipod. Of course, I did not wrtie down the serial number, but I have used he device on my Itunes account. My question: Is there a way to retreive the serial nuber of my Ipod touch from my Itunes account? Thanks you all....

    Yes. See bold below
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • How could I locate my stolen iPod Touch if the serial number is known and the device was already connected to iTune by the thief and connected to his apple ID

    My iPod Touch was stolen on the airport in vienna and already noticed to the local police.
    Is it possible to locate the thief, since he has alrady connected the device to iTunes and applied to his apple ID.
    (it is not longer in the reladed list of my apple ID - when I type in the serial number I get the message, that the device is related to another apple ID)
    Is there any way for the local police, to get the information of the actual apple ID of the thief from apple?

  • HT1349 I have an HP computer, where do I find the serial number of my iTunes library?

    Hi, I have an hp computer. I had a regular computer before, which no longer works. I purchased many songs. I only have 2 authorized computers for my iTunes account. Why do I not see all my purchases? I baught my music. Now my issue is I don't know how to locate my iTunes serial number. Any help, please?

    What product, specifically? iTunes does not have a serial number. I don't know where the serial number is for your computer, but most likely it's on the rear of the computer or on the bottom.
    If you don't see all of your purchases in iTunes, then some may be hidden. See: iTunes Store- Hiding and unhiding purchases.
