I want to move Pages from my old macbook to my new one. How do I do that best?

I am moving from my 2007 Late, 13 inch Macbook to a new Macbook Pro, Retina, 15 inch, 2013 Early. I am not sure how best to do this and stay within the proper guidelines for Copyright.

If you have iWork installed from a retail box you need to use that DVD to install on the new Mac. If your purchase was a "single-user" license (actually single computer), you will need to delete the iWork folder from the Applications folder on the older Mac to stay within the software license. Unlike other software companies, Apple doesn't track installations.

How do I move apps from an old mac to a new one

I am purchasing a new Macbook Pro after having my old one for six years. I have numerous apps that I have purchased and downloaded over the years. I don't want to loose them and really don't want to have to purchase them again. Can I and how can I move apps from my old Mac to my new one?

Be sure you back your current system up BEFORE you do anything. If you use Time Machine, migration assistant works well.

How can I move Acrobat 9 Pro from my old MacBook to a new one?

Hi there,
How can I move Acrobat 9 Pro from my old MacBook to a new one?
Thanks!

Hi cialbert,
Do you have the install media? If not, you can download Acrobat from here: Download Acrobat products | 9, 8 - Adobe. You'll need your Acrobat serial number (see Find your serial number quickly - Adobe).
Note, as well, that the licensing agreement allows you to activate the software on up to two computers. If you've already activated it on two computers, deactivate on one before installing on the new computer (see Activation & Deactivation Help).
I think that should take care of it! Please let us know if you need additional help.
Best,
Sara

I moved from an old macbook to a new one. I have installed Office for Mac 2011. I copied all my files from my old notebook onto a hard drive. On trying to setup my mail, i went into my hard drive and accessed microsoft user identities, office 2011 and it shows the database but wont let me select it. Its almost as if the file is there but not accessable. I desperately need to access my old mail. How do I do this? I am fairly confident that I copied all files off my old notebook. Is there a way for me to search for the Database file? Maybe I copied it to a different location? Urgent help please.

Hello mafrerichs and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Simplest way is to use Target Disk mode:

and hook to another Mac and use CCC or SuperDuper and clone your HD to another drive.
You could also pull the drive out of your MBP and use an external USB case or SATA - USB dongle to hook it to another Mac.

How can i copy programs, like photoshop, excel, from an old macbook to my new one?

HOw can I copy programs like photoshop, excel, ...., from my old macbook to my new one?

Setup Assistent.
When you first start the new Mac one of the first question will be do you wish to restore from another Mac. If the other Mac is on the network you can use Setup Assistent to migrate everything over from the old Mac to the new Mac.

How do I transfer my creative suite from my old Macbook to my new one?

How do I transfer my creative suite from my old Macbook to my new one?
Any help would be really appreicated! Thanks!

You don't transfer anything. You simply deactivate on the old system from the Apple menu --> Deactivate and then install from scratch on the new one.

After using migration to transfer data from my old MacBook to my new one, I can't find pages and I don't really want to pay to redownload it.

I had all the data from my old one to my new one, and now I can't find pages on my new macbook air... any suggestions?

Anything purchased from the Mac App Store will appear under "Purchased". Download it. You don't have to pay for it again.
If you purchased iWork on disc, copy it from the old MacBook.

How do I move music from my old IPhone to a new one?

My old music is from CD's that I own. I put them on my phone a couple years ago thru Itunes with no problem. Now it seems that Itunes will only let me add music to my phone if I buy it from them.

I'm using a PC, not a Mac. My system is using Wi-Fi. And like I say, using ITunes there is no way to upload my music to my IPhone. Clicking on devices only gives me the option to Sync, and restore. I've even tried backing up the old phone, which has the same name as the new one, and then restoring it to the new phone but it won't move the music to the new phone. I checked out the ITunes Match. Now I'm not a real bright guy but it looks like Apple wants me to pay them $25 a year to listen to my own music on my own phone. I mean, it's not like I'm stealing anything. I paid for the phone and I paid for the music. Why should I have to pay them to sisten to it?

How do i move Itunes from my old computer to my new one?

Trying to move Itunes account from old computer to new one. Am not sure if I install Itunes on new computer will it then allow me to log in and obtain my already purchased games/music or will i lose from old to new computer?

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

What's the best way to move apps from an old iphone to a new one?

I just got the iPhone 4S and am having difficulties figuring out how to restore the backup from my old 3Gs. When I first plugged it in all of my contacts, calendar and email migrated just fine. (All except for my mobileme email for some reason it defaults all mobileme email adresses as .mac. Which is silly consider many of us have .me) Anyway... I've plugged in the old phone and backed it up. I've tried to restore the new phone with the old backup, but it doesn't seem to be working. How do I get all of the apps I have purchased on to the new phone?

Use an ethernet cable to connect the two computers, and set up file sharing. After that copying files from one computer to the other is exactly like copying from one hard drive to another:

I just got a new laptop and i want to put the musisc i had on my ipod from my old computer to my new laptop how do i do that

[lease help

You should copy the music from your old computer and put it on an external hard drive or flash drive. Then plug in that drive to your new computer and drop all the music into itunes from the drive on your new computer.
If you don't have access to your old computer, you will have to buy a recovery program that can copy the music from your iPod. I highly recommend iRip from "the little app factory". http://thelittleappfactory.com/irip/
The program is about $20 and it will save you from losing all your music. I have used it to save my massive music collective on my iPod classic when my old windows machine crashed. iRip also will let you grab 100 tracks for free off your iPod so you can see for yourself that the program actually works!
iTunes stores music in these directories:
Windows: C:// ... /user/My Documents/My Music/iTunes
Mac OS: /User/Music/iTunes
Hope this helps!

How to transfer music from an old computer to a new one without losing CD's that were loaded?

When I previously loaded my CD collection to my 1st laptop, I loaded it directly to iTunes. Now I have upgraded my laptop, and would like to transfer all of that music to my iTunes account on the new one. However, when I load iTunes, I only have the option to transfer the purchases made from iTunes (music only, it is not transfering the apps I purchased)
Is there a way to transfer all of my music (uploaded from my CD's) to the new computer, without having to go back and physically put each CD in the new computer & upload the songs again? Also, how do I get my purchased apps & free apps to transfer as well?
I appreciate any help.

If you still have the old laptop use iTunes on it to go to the File menu item Library > Back Up to Disc...
You can use this to create a backup copy of your entire iTunes library and load it into the iTunes on your new computer.
