Install ms office from back up

Hi there,
I am about to buy to new macbook air.
I am not looking forward to loosing all my programs and software to which I have not kept the original CDs.
When I buy a new mac, is it possible to install all my software like ms office and Adobe CS4 from the time machine back up, or will I have to start from scratch (meaning I probably have to buy these again, which will deter me from buying a new machine)
Hope anyone can advise me.
J.

When your new computer arrives and you boot it for the first time the Setup Assistant will run and you'll have the opportunity to migrate your account and applications from a TimeMachine backup. Do one last TimeMachine backup before you migrate and run your Adobe programs to deactivate them. When you use the Adoble programs for the first time on the new machine you can activate them. I'm not sure how Office deals with this - I use a university version which doesn't require activation. You may be able to just re-enter your serial number or you may need to call Microsoft to activate on the new computer. No biggy though, Microsoft knows people buy new computers.

Office needs to be setup, you can't drag bits of it from Time Machine.
Reinstall from disc, take the telephone acvtivation option and explain the situation (be patient, it takes a while to get to a human) when you get the code, write it down.

I know iBooks aren't backed up and that iCloud just backs up the purchase history, but I'm not sure about pdfs being backed up. Some people say they are:

It's probably safer to assume it doesn't backup pdfs. You could store your pdfs (for safekeeping) in an app like Dropbox.

Depending on what kind of computer you have, you're gonna need to put that backup in the appropriate folder or itunes is not gonna be able to see it for you to use.

How do I restore locally saved emails from back-up after Lion re-installed

Since upgrading (?not sure this is the correct word) to Lion I've experienced periodic crashes- my 24" iMac (2.93 GHz Core 2 Duo with 4GB memory) suddenly shut down using iPhoto, Safari, and/or Pages. Applecare expired so I took it into a Genius bar: after running numerous hardware diagnostic tests I was told it was not a hardware problem, and a complete reinstall of Lion and all Apple software was recommended. I agreed- after all I had back-ups on a My Book which I thought I could easily use to restore my personal data. I was directed to drag files between Finder windows rather than try to restore from backup via Time Machine. All was well & good until I tried to restore my numerous mail folders and locally-saved emails. Evidently Mail is a hidden folder... I've been told by my helpful user group buddies how to see the hidden Mail folder on my iMac, but not on the My Book. Trying to restore from back-up via Time Machine is not an option, as I guess it doesn't recognize the newly installed system. Also tried going into Mail and importing, but when I navigate to the backup there is no visible Mail folder. Another suggestion was to try 3rd party software i.e. Back in Time or BackUp Loupe. I keep thinking there's some secret key combination, some easy way I just don't know of to retrieve my Mail data from the backup... is there???

Mail is in the username/Library/Mail
In the Finder- Library his hidden by default. If you use the drop down menu Finder>Go hold the option key down to make visible the Library.
or Go to Folder
~/Library/Mail

Follow these steps to remove Office completely, then reinstall.

When you get the new iPhone 5S they say it come with al the iWork apps for free install already. But if i restore from back-up from an old device which doesnt have any iWork apps would I still receive those iWork Apps?

Hey Davin12,
Yes. The apps are not pre-installed, but rather you are prompted to download them the first time you launch the App Store in iOS 7:
About Free Apple Apps for iOS 7 compatible devices
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5913
iPhoto, iMovie, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers are free on the App Store for qualifying iOS 7 compatible devices activated or purchased after September 1, 2013
The first time you launch the App Store in iOS 7 on your qualifying new or factory refurbished iOS device, you will be offered iMovie, iPhoto, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers for free in addition to other free software from Apple. When you tap Download All and sign in with your Apple ID, the apps will be downloaded to your device and added to your store account. If you tap Not Now when you see the offer, you can go back to each of the apps in the store and download them one at a time for free.
Thanks,

Installed my SSD from my Windows 8 PC onto it getting the bootmgr is missing. I formatted the SSD but when I try and plug in my external harddrive to restore my mac settings I backed up using time machine, the computer doesn't show it as an option.

I recently bought a MacBook Pro. I had a windows 8 pc that had hardware issues that didn't deal with the harddrive. When I got the mbp, I installed the SSD from my windows 8 pc into the macbook. Before doing this, I made a time machine backup on my external hard drive. When I booted up the macbook pro with the windows 8 SSD in it, windows 8 started up. I tried formating the harddrive from within windows but it wouldn't work. From there, I put a spare windows 7 ultimate disk into the macbook and formatted the hard drive using that. Now, bootmgr is missing error keeps coming up and I can't put my time maching backup onto the macbook. Quick replies are appreciated, thanks!

You need to boot from an OS X installer disc compatible with this model's hardware or you must connect it by Target Disk Mode - Target Disk Mode - so you can re-partition and reformat the hard drive before you can install Mountain Lion on it or any other version of OS X. Here's the process:
Drive Partition and Format
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
If you are preparing an external or a non-startup drive, then open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

My download / install is gone from my doc. how do I get it back

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Open Finder, go to Applications folder and see if the Mountain Lion installer is there. If not, you have to download Mountain Lion. Open the App Store, go to Purchases tab and download Mountain Lion free of charge. If you want, you can make an external disk with Mountain Lion. To do this, download and use Lion Diskmaker > http://liondiskmaker.com

IPhoto won't open after new install and restore of back-up

Hi guys
My hard drive just died (for the second time in 6 months!) so I have just gotten the computer back with a new drive. I did a new install of Tiger from my original install CDs, did the download thing to get all the updates, and ran a "restore" from my external drive using iBackup (http://www.grapefruit.ch/iBackup//index.html) to restore all my previous system settings, documents, etc. So far this seems to have worked well, a couple of 3rd party applications didn't re-install - specifically Neo Office and WiFind - but I was able to manually install those and everything seems to be working fine.
Except iPhoto. It won't open. When I click the dock icon it bounces once and does nothing. No little arrow under it or anything. Nothing at all happens when I click the icon in Finder (in the Applications folder). When I searched it in spotlight it told me there was a file called iphoto.crash.log, so I went and had a look at that hoping it would tell me the problem, but I don't understand it. I'm not particularly good at the behind the scenes stuff with computers.
Wondering what I should do now - if someone can perhaps interpret the log file and find the issue if that would help, or if I should uninstall and re-install iPhoto by itself (and if so, how?), or if there is something else that may be causing the issue. I noticed there are a few files relating to it when I search with spotlight but I don't know which of them might be relevant. I could post a screenshot if that is allowed, or post the log file if it would help?
Thanks in advance for any advice or help!
Regards,
Chloë

400 Updates???
Did you Repair Permissions before & after each one?
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, or things don't load/run, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates again, or even do an A&I if you have enough free disk space.

The combo update for Intel-based Macs...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx10411comboupdateintel.html
Repair Permissions before & after re-install, then reboot again each time.
If all the above do not resolve the problem, then it's time for an Archive & Install, which gives you a new OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space...

I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...

That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.

Installing MS Office 2013, whew!

I wanted to share an experience I had today regarding MS Office in case it helps someone else...
I got my new E440 on about April 2nd. I didn't unbox it until the 3rd. I can tell by the calendar in the configuration history shown in the Lenovo Solution Center. I didn't really get going until the 4th. Anyway, I activated the MS Office trial many days later. Then, my laptop seemed to have gotten screwed up somehow (not by the MS Office activation, but by something else). I hadn't really done much with it, so yesterday, I ended up restoring back to the restore point created on 4/3. When I tried to use MS Office again, it wouldn't re-activate - just nothing happened when I clicked on it. I looked in the configuration history and had "System Events" of APPCRASH regarding firstrun.exe. I searched for this file and it as located in one of the MS Office folders. So I figured something got messed up because I had already activated the trial, and then restored back to earlier in time before I had activated it. So today I uninstalled it and purchased MS Office Professional online. Then the fun really started...
When I installed "MS Office 2013 Professional", I kept seeing MS Office 365... I got an email from MS regarding Office 365. I looked online to see how I could find out what version I was running and, lo and behold, it said Office 365. But on the MS web site after I entered my key code, the confirmation said Office Professional (I had captured a screen print)... So I fired off any angry email to the site where I purchased Professional thinking they had charged me for Professional but provided Office 365. I couldn't talk to them because they were closed for the day.
Then, I called Microsoft. And worked with them for almost THREE HOURS to resolve the issue. They confirmed the key code was for Professional. They were great. Somehow, even though I uninstalled the trial version, the Office 365 subscription was still attached to my MS account. It took him a long time to get rid of it. For a while, I had both Professional AND 365 attached to my account.
All is good now, but wow, it was a long haul.
Now I guess I'll start tranferring my files over to the new laptop.

Hi Kkb,

I am sorry to hear to your situation, and glad to know that the issue has been resolved.
Please feel free to post in Lenovo Community Forums if you have any further queries!

Deleted and re-installed LDOM keeps coming back

I am using 11g 11.1.0.1571. I installed an LDOM and installed an OS from a FLAR, and because of problems I deleted it and reinstalled it. I created a new LDOM with a different name and installed a Solaris 10 OS with the old name. It works fine, but there is a 'ghost' LDOM hanging around in the BUI that I can't get rid of. Or rather, I can 'delete' the dependent OS, but I can't delete the ghost LDOM until I go to https://<my-oem-server>/xvm and track down all the occurrences in the domain model and manually unregister the Mbean. In the BUI the old LDOM looks like it's halted, and it's taken on the name of the physical XVM server- weird.
It goes away in the BUI, but as soon as I restart Ops Center it just comes back! Has anybody else seen this? Is there an XML file somewhere in my EC that's saving an entry for this old LDOM and OS?

Hi,
What’s the permission of the user who deleted the folder in the synced library?
If the user has no permission to delete the folder in the library and he deletes the folder in his local folder where the library is synced, then the folder will not be deleted in the library and the folder will be re-synced to the folder where the user
syncs the library.
If the user has permission to delete the folder in the library, then the folder will be deleted in the library and the folder will also be deleted in other users’ local folder.
I recommend to check if there is someone with right permission who re-created the folder in their local folder.
