I am changing macs from MacBook Pro to MacBook Air can I transfer application licenses to new device

I have a MacBook Pro 15 that I need to switch to a MacBook Air . I have applications like aperture, MS Office 2010, photoshop and others that I want to move to the air. I will be cleaning the drive on the MacBook Pro and selling it.
Is there a way to do this and still be compliant to the licenses?

Except for some very specialized licenses, yes you can do this. If you simply migrate your system from one to the other you should have all your apps on the new one and working fine. To be legal, just delete those apps once your new system is up and running fine.

  • If i bought a macbook pro on 4 juin,can i get the upgrade of new max os lion free?

    if i bought a macbook pro on 4 juin,can i get the upgrade of new max os lion free?
    i buy it directly from the apple store.

    Might be a discount voucher near-term, to match up with past programs.  That would positively scream "epic win" in addition to being a really nice gesture by Apple.  But this is an educated guess.
    We still have to find out how 10.4 and 10.5 holdouts from late '06-mid '09 (and y'all know who y'all are, ladies and gents) are going to get Lion based on the only system requirement of a 64-bit CPU.  I suspect a Mac Box Set refresh would be in order for this task. 
    Also: how would one reinstall Lion "clean" if, say, the hard disk flips out or one just doesn't want excess baggage gumming up his machine?   Recovery partitions assume the worst won't happen.
    Unfortunately, this also leaves the earlier '06 Macs on life support and effectively kills off all prior Macs with PowerPC chips, so to anybody with a Core Duo or G-series chip, Apple wants you upgrading hardware--NOW!

  • My new macbook pro retina recognizes, but can't transfer data from the Time Machine Volume

    I back up my old 2008 MacBook Pro to a Time Machine volume sitting on a very new 2 TB drive that is connected to a Time capsule via USB. I got that new drive from OtherWorld Computing about 2 months ago.
    I just received a brand new 2012 MBP (retina).
    Pondini's page on setting up a new mac says that it's easiest just to transfer everything over the first itme you start up the new machine. (ref: http://pondini.org/OSX/Setup.html)
    So, I took my new 2012 MBP, plugged it into the Time Capsule directly with ethernet (I have the Thunderbolt-to-USB connector).
    Then turn it on.
    The 3rd page into the startup sequence gives me a choice to "Transfer Information to this Mac". It offers 4 options
    "From Another Mac"
    "From a Windows PC"
    "From Another Disk"
    "Not Now"
    I chose "From Another Disk"
    Then it offers "Select the Source"
    The sources are 4 blue icons. 2 of them are backups of other machines, ones that sit on the Time Capsule's internal drive. 1 is a small "media storage" space I saved on the internal drive of the Time Capsule.
    The important one is "Macbook Pro backup ("StefanTimeCapsule")
    This is the one physically parked in the external USB drive.
    So.... I select it. It asks me to log on with user ID and password, and then says an endless "Connecting" message
    It never gets to the next menu.
    If I arrow "back" in the startup window sequence to the "Select the Source" windo, the 4 blue volumes are again displayed, with the word "Connecting" next to the backup I want, strongly suggesting that the "connection" is never fully established.
    Just for fun I plugged that external USB drive directly into the USB port of the new Retina MBP, but it was not recognized at all.
    I tried different ethernet cables.
    At this point my thoughts are perhaps
    (a) I need a powered USB hub
    (b) I need to somehow have Apple service the Time Capsule (but for what? I don't know)
    I could potentially just transfer from the Old 2008 Macbook Pro Directly, but it seems to me problematic not to be able to access the primary backup.
    Any ideas out there?

    A picture of a screen that suggests my new MBP Retina never connects to the "Macbook Pro backup ("StefanTimeCapsule")
    This is the one that has the files for the backups procured by the Time Machine program. But it can't "connect"-- You 'll see int he sideways pic (sorry!) that the options STILL says "connecting"
    Do i have to make these Time Machines more open to connection?

    I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. I would like to transfer Aperture from my Mac Mini to my new MP. How can I do this?

    Thanks, Sig.  I think I should've been a little clearer.  I've attempted to do the updates on my Mac, but I get a warning that it will erase everything except calenders, email, etc from the iPad.  I've syned the iPad with the Mac with no problem, but get scary messages when I try to do the latest update.

  • I tried transferring my iphoto library from my old macbook onto my new macbook pro (via external hard drive), but when i open the new iphoto, it seems to have transferred ALL images ever used on my old macbook. so i tried to just del

    i tried transferring my iphoto library from my old macbook onto my new macbook pro (via external hard drive), but when i open the new iphoto, it seems to have transferred ALL images ever used on my old macbook. so i tried to just delete all those images so i could try a different approach to transferring, but the new iphoto won't let me do anything and every time i try to delete anything it crashes (since the image amount is so high).  please help!!
    MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), iphoto '11, version 9.4.2

    To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
    Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network,Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
    But however you do choose to link the two machines...
    Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
    Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
    This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.

  • How to transfer/migrate from Late 2008 MacBook Pro to MacBook Pro, with retina?

    Is there anyway of directly connecting a Late 2008 MacBook Pro to a MacBook Pro, with retina, in a Target Disk Mode way without having to wait for the magical adapter in July?
    Should I go to the Apple Store, buy a normal MacBook Pro, use it to do the transfer, and return it?
    Thanks to anyone for taking the time to answer.

    There is Setup Assistant when you first boot the new Mac, over wireless it's supposed to migrate for you, however I hear it can take hours and days to complete.
    http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/MacBook_Pro_Retina_QuickStart.pdf
    Another faster method would be to use the free/donations Carbon Copy Cloner the old Mac to a blank USB3, 2,1 drive, then hook it up to the new Mac and use Setup Assistant (or Migration Assistant) that way, it will think it's another Mac.
    You can also simply drag and drop files into a same named account on the new machine manually from the clone.
    It should take about a hour per 250GB to clone, about another hour for Setup Assistant.
    Over wireless it could take a eternity.

    But the newest Mac notebooks do not have a firewire port.
    So he may need a TB to FW adapter, $29, a FW 400 or 800 cable, $??, and then a FW 400 to 800 cable/port adapter (If the old Mac only has a FW 400 port), $??.
    It is unknown if the old Mac has a FW 400 or 800 port.

  • 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.

  • I bought my macbook pro in the US. can i use it in china? (P.S the power in the US is 110v, in China is 220v, however, the mac power supply has said: "Input: 100~240v")

    The Magsafe autoswitches based on detected power.  You will likely need a wall adapter to alter ther US-based 3-prong to whatever is used in China.

  • I have a Power Mac G4 (2004) and want to transfer all my files to a new MacBook Pro 15.4". Can this be done thru firewire cable or do I have to transfer to an external Firewire 800 hard drive first?

    I have a Power Mac G4 (2004) and want to transfer all my files to a new MacBook Pro 15.4". Can this be done thru firewire cable or do I have to transfer to an external Firewire 800 hard drive first?

    Do it with a Firewire cable (buy a 800/400 adapter if you need it) - the USB transfer takes a much longer time.
    Start up your old PowerMac G4 holding down the "T" key, for target disk mode.
    On your new MacBook Pro open "Migration Assistant" in your utilities folder.
    Connect the 2 computers by firewire cable and follow the prompts in Migration Assistant.

  • Does it worth to move from macbook pro to macbook pro retina?

    Hey
    I have macbook pro with
    Processor  2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory  8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M 512 MB
    and its good but many people are saying macbook pro 2013 with retina display is the best laptop and has many features so do you advice me to move from macbook pro to macbook pro 2013 with retina display?
    thanka

    It's a very sweet machine, of course. Although the upgrade path is a bit dicey. Just my opinion, but unless you have very demanding graphics needs (in which case you probably should have a desktop system with a huge monitor), I don't see the point of spending all the money. Probably you would get more value if you take your current machine and max out the RAM and get an SSD.
    It's hard to advise anyone in such matters via the internet.
    Here are some good reviews:
    Apple MacBook Pro with Retina Display Review (2012)
    MacBook Pro with Retina display (15-inch) vs. MacBook...
    By the numbers: 13-inch Retina MacBook Pro vs. other MacBooks ...
    13-inch MacBook Pro w. Retina vs. old MacBook Pro vs. Sony Vaio ...
