Is it possible to transfer 09 Pages program on to new macbook pro?

Simply cant download it again as its been removed from the app store???
Hoping its as easy as loading it on to usb and transfer if not will have to call applecare.
Any advice appreciated

If you previously bought Pages '09 from the Mac App Store, it is a self-contained application & you can copy it from one Mac to another.
If you had iWork '09 installed from the retail disk or downloaded trial, moving it rarely works as the apps are not self-contained. Reinstall from the original media. A possible way to get the iWork '09 apps from the Mac App Store would be to update to the new versions on a Mac that has iWork '09.3 installed. Don't worry, the iWork '09 apps won't be deleted. Then go to a Mac running Mountain Lion that does not have iWork '09 installed. It must be Mountain Lion, Snow Leopard won't work. If the iWork '09 apps are installed, compress them & delete the originals. Launch the Mac App Store & click on the 'install' buttons under the iWork apps. You will get a message that you can't install the new version on this Mac but it will offer to download the previous version for you. Voilá, you have the self-contained apps.

I have a MacBook pro that has power issues and will not start but the hardrive is fine. I do not want to lose all of my files so I was wondering if it's possible to transfer my hardrive from a older Macbook pro to a new one if I were to purchase a new one? Also, the software is not updated as the computer hasn't worked for about 2 months.
Also, if it is possible to transfer the hardrive, would my iTunes music transfer as well? It is not saved in the cloud.
Thanks for your help, it is much appreciated.

You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
These are the steps:
Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
Put it in a cheap enclosure
Connect it the new computer
Boot up new computer.
If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

I used migration assistant to move all my programs to my new Macbook Pro - Now CC won't run

I used migration assistant to move all my programs to my new Macbook Pro - The programs would run but I had to enter my license key each time - I tried downloading and reinstalling CC but always get message to contact support. Any thoughts on next step?

Adobe programs need to be installed, migration/transfer does not usually work. Try using the Cleaner tool uninstall whatever you currently have on the machine and then reinstall.

Which files do I transfer from external drive to new MacBook Pro?

Hi there,
My hard drive went bad on my MacBook Pro, but fortunately I did a weekly backup.
Unfortunately, it was not a Cloned back up or a Time Machine backup, so I can't seem to be able to use the Migration Assistant to transfer my files to my new MacBook Pro.
Is there a list of files that I should make sure to copy over?
I know that I need to copy my apps that aren't already native to Mavericks. Also, most of the files in my User Folder. Is it wise to copy the entire library in the User Folder, or should I select individual files and folders? Is there anything else I should look for?
If there is a step by step tutorial on this, and I have somehow missed it, please point me on my way.
Thanks for any help.

Is it a bad idea to copy things to the library (the one that is located at macintosh hd/library)?
One thing is for sure...I'll be switching to Time Machine or CCC...this is taking a looooong time.
So, any ideas out there?
It is too late, but either a bootable clone (I use SuperDuper!) or a Time Machine backup would have made the transition smooth.
I do not know of any "cookbook" approach to help you.
I think I would have reinstalled OS X 10.9.4 and then moved all my data files. I do not know what settings, files, etc. would need to be moved.

HT3399 I have a MacBook Pro and want to transfer all my programs to a new MacBook Pro.

I bought a new MacBook Pro. Now I want to transfer my data and selected programs from my old to my new computer without using total backup. What possibilities do I have?

Move your data to a new Mac - Apple Support
Note that some apps, MS Office for one, sometimes don't migrate well and may need to be reinstalled.

Ages old question: transfer all disk content to new MacBook Pro

Dear all. I know this question has been asked zillion times before but the answers confuse me. I have a new MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard (not Lion yet) and want to transfer all contents of my white MacBook 2008 (No FireWire !!) to the new one. I have a wireless network. Should I make a fresh backup with Time Machine to a external disk and then connect the new MacBook to that or would it be better to do it with Migration Assistant over my wireless network. In the last case, how long would 300 GB content take ? Thanks so much !

Some argue Migration Assistant from TM works but creates more headaches. This you can run after you've already set up a new machine.
Some argue that Setup Assistant from TM is better than MA above, that what occurs when you start the machine (or run OSX) for the first time.
You can also T boot the old Mac with a Firewire cable and transfer that way as well in either of the above cases or manually. I haven't tried with MA/SA yet, just manually.
Some people prefer to not have everything transferred over and then have to pick through and toss the old garbage afterwards possibly making their machines slow. As MA and SA have no brains, it's a blind copy. Some have privacy issues and don't want old application cache files tagging along for the ride.
I'm one of those that a new machine gets all fresh copies of current software and then picks out just the gems from another drive.
One is going to perform work either removing stuff and missing things and having a slowdown possibility, or one works to installs all fresh copies and keeps their machine from possibly slowing down.
So that's it. It's debatable and up to you which way you want to go about it.
The SA/MA route can bring over old programs that still run, so you don't have to need a paid upgrade.
But I figure if one is dropping several thousand on a new box, what's a few hundred more for current versions of software so there is no issues?
Guess it depends what is on the MacBook and how out of shape it is. Likely a pristine machine with little or no system level hooks or other garbage involved will MA/SA just fine. Garbage in = Garbage out.

How do I transfer my data to my new macbook pro using an external hard drive?

I've already set up my new MacBook Pro is my issue. It asked me if I'd like to "Migrate" my stuff or use an external hard drive etc but at the time I didn't transfer my data from my old MacBook yet. I was going to manually do it later as I had to wait for my External hard drive to back my old Mac up. Now it's that time and I have no idea how to do it. I believe I've researched best of my ability.
I feel like I'm asking a pretty dumb question. If I were to just drag all my programs out like my Adobe Suite on to my new macbook pro would that work? I feel like that's just too easy and incorrect. Please and thank you.

The Adobe suite can be downloaded free, you dont have to copy it at all, under standard CS6 Adobe rules, if you own the suite, you get 2 computers "activated at any one time" Make sure, if youre not using the older computer, you deactivate the software under the HELP menu in Adobe.
format the new drive in disk utility ......APPLICATIONS.....UTILITIES.....DISK UTILITIES.......select the external drive and format (if its new and empty!!!) under the ERASE button with Mac OSX extended journaled
copy all your important stuff from older computer , pics, files, documents, personal anything.
most of you apps, i ASSUME you bought in the (other than Adobe software, or Office suite, etc etc,..... obviously) in the MAC APP store, so you can reload them on the new computer without copying them , makes things very easy......just open APP STORE, and download what you already bought.
really the only important things , is copy all important work files, documents, pictures, personal ABC...XYZ...... obviously.
the migration is about emails, contacts, etc etc etc, also data, just because you passed it by at the time doesnt mean you still cant do it, go to the SEARCH at menu at top and type in MIGRATION ASSISTANT to do it again , since you passed it by at first .
the only thing you NEED / SHOULD copy is all your personal stuff........Applications need to be reinstall from either ONLINE download,.......or from the MAC APP STORE,........ you cant just copy the apps over (in most cases) and toss them onto the new computer
Nahh, there are no dumb questions, just dumb mistakes because you DIDNT ask any questions, and we all make those here and there.

HELP PLEASE! Export Aperture 1 Library and Import to Aperture 3? Or another way to transfer files WITH changes into new MacBook Pro?

Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a new MacBook pro with Retina display, to better manage Aperture and Photoshop. I took the advice of the genius (and after spending all night messing with permissions, etc.), opted out of using Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant and decided to transfer my files manually (as the two systems weren't merging properly the first time -- it was a giant mess). Long story short, I tried to transfer everything from my previous MacBook (operating on 10.5.8 with Aperture 1), and Aperture 3 couldn't handle it. It was crashing, and crashing so badly that NO button could be activated in the program (I FINALLY got Aperture working by disabling previews, and by moving from a managed library to a referenced library).
I initially dragged and dropped all photos from my previous MacBook to my external, and imported. I obviously lost folders, edit history and any other information that I needed to know what edits had been done on the file. Additionally, any movie that had been imported into Aperture was corrupt (the file was not transferring over correctly). I searched and searched for different methods, and finally found that I could export each project from my original MacBook as a "Library" and consolidate masters, or not, etc. I took the time and did this for each project. When I went to import these into Aperture 3, it said I was not able to because the libraries were from a previous version of Aperture.
Is there any way to bypass this? Or another way to transfer my projects? I understand I won't be able to do this for my entire library... but I'm wondering if there's any way to transfer my changes made, projects and details from Aperture 1 to Aperture 3? (and for those who might pose upgrading my original MacBook as an option, I cannot. It's too old. I think the best I could uprade to is Aperture 2, IF i can update the OS. Though, I definitely don't think I should be forced to do that since I've aleady re-invested in a new computer, AND had to re-buy Aperture for the new one.
Any/all advice is VERY much appreciated, as I really want to move forward and FINALLY start appreciating this program and computer (i.e. my investment) and move forward business wise. Thank you!

Hi Jack,
Thanks for responding (as it seems as though no one else has been able to provide any insight as of yet)! Not sure if you saw my recent post, but the version of Aperture on the 2008 MacBook has been upgraded to 3.1.2 (not sure how; I bought it in 2009, but only have OS X 10.5.8... which apparently can't house 3.1.2 of Aperture, but hey, like many other anomalies i'm encountering, I'm no longer surprised!). I am unable to upgrade it any further, as it warns me that my OS X does not fit the requirements. I exported the projects as libraries; however, like I posted before, apparently these are from too old of a version for the new Aperture (3.3.1) to handle and import.
It's getting to the point where I'd almost pay to upgrade the OS X on my previous MacBook (10.5.8) to something newer in order to THEN update Aperture to a newer version; however, my previous MacBook simply cannot handle this (the specs are awful -- hence my decision to save up and upgrade to the newest MBP with Retina).
I've spent hours upon hours transferring files, libraries as projects, previews, versions, even masters (though, apparently some of them aren't accessible?) with no luck. I've rebuilt the library and reprocessed everything. And this is all after having to return one MBP already since Aperture 3.3.1 is glitch-y as it is, and froze everything for having a "managed library". So, now that I know that I have to deal with a referenced library in Aperture... I just need to actually transfer my previous library to my new one (hopefully WITH adjustments since these are years worth of photos and work).
Again, any help is appreciated. I've lost enough sleep, time, and vision health over this at this point.
Also, I know Migration Assistant is an option, I was told that it wouldn't work properly anyway because of the different operating systems, and the potential for problems.

How do i transfer files from pc to new macbook pro running yosemite

I want to transfer documents, pictures and iTunes library from Dell pc running Windows Vista to new MacBook pro running Yosemite.

Use the Migration Assistant, or move the files manually through file sharing or an external drive. If you've already set the MacBook Pro up and use the Migration Assistant, the files will be put into a different user account.

How do I transfer Ipad contacts to my new Macbook Pro?

I just bought a new Macbook Pro. How do I transfer my Ipad contacts to my new Macbook Pro?

One way is via iCloud.
With both using the same Apple ID:
On the iPad: Settings > iCloud > Contacts on
On the Mac: Apple Menu > System Preferences > iCloud > Contacts on

Can iWork apps (e.g., Pages) be moved to new Macbook Pro?

I want to buy a new MacBook Pro and I wonder if the iWork apps (e.g., Pages) be moved to the new Macbook Pro from the old?

Certainly, just reinstall them on the new machine. (Don't try to copy them from the old machine.) if you purchased them from the App Store, you can re-download them for free using the same Apple ID used to originally purchase them. If you have an old iWork CD, you should be able to install from there, though older versions of the iWork apps may not work well on a new system, depending on how old they are.

Only partial transfer from Time Machine to new Macbook Pro?

Hello, I don't know why but with my new Macbook Pro I chose to migrate everything from Time Machine from my Imac to the new computer. Applications and some files transfered, but not all my email or email setting, photos, downloads, documents, Itunes, etc was transfered. I had no problem with a different Macbook Pro to transfer all of the contents from the Time Machine to the new Macbook Pro. I could see that one of the three possibilities to check off other deeper files from the Time Machine was not enabled, so couldn't check it off.
I didn't have this problem before.
Any advice. Thanks.

Hello,
I transferred from my Intel Imac which is completely up to date. Used the same Time Machine disk to transfer everything to other Macbook Pro and Air. Maybe I did something wrong, because usually all of the mail, the settings, the photos and Itune contents were transferred in one go. It was simple and complete. This time I got many files, and no email setting nor email contents, no download or document. Maybe I should reinstall from scratch and try again. I can't install and archive because I don't have all of the elements from the Time Machine backup that I wanted. I was going to migrate from Migrate Assistant directly from my Imac to the Pro but I don't have a firewire cable and wasn't able to find a way to use the ethernet cable, because I didn't see that option, even though in the user guide is says you can connect the two computers through an ethernet connection.
Still need help.

Transfer Pages from Powerbook G4 to MacBook Pro

Didn't really know where to find this answer, so I thought I would ask the knowledgeable Pages community. This is my situation...
I have just purchased the new 17" MacBook Pro (and YES!!! it is the bomb!), anyway, during the registration process of the new laptop I transferred all of my files and applications via Apple's built in "transfer" step.... I did not install any of the applications via CD's. Since I have transferred from a G4 to an Intel processor, will my applications be running natively on the Intel chip (those that can run natively)? Or will I have to reinstall Pages, etc. from the installation CD to get the "universal" code? Naturally, I would like my software to run natively as I assume it will be quicker and less prone to "bugs".
I thank all of you in advance for your knowledge on this subject.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

You should probably create a new subject here, as it is a slightly different question. This thread is "solved" so people may have a tendency not to check it.
Anyhow, if you have a license for 05 you need to get the files for '05. Can you still download that somewhere, or did you download the testdrive for '06 by mistake?
As far as I remember other people have had similar problems when they knew for certain that they had both '05 and '06 installed. You may find the answer if you search the forum, and if you post a new topic, the same people who helped before may see it and help again. I haven't had that problem myself.
For photos published on Home Page, are they still visible on the net? If so you can ctrl+click on them and download them to your harddrive.
How did you publish the photos? If you used iWeb you may want to ask in the iWeb form at http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=188 . If not the .Mac HomePage forum at http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=975 may be able to help you.

Transfer iTunes from iPhone onto new MacBook Pro...?

Many of my songs are...well, all of them are...not strictly speaking, downloaded from iTunes. Most of them I downloaded from mediafire, 4shared, etc...I recently purchased a MacBook Pro, and I'm trying to transfer all of my music that I downloaded onto my iPhone onto my MacBook, but it seems that syncing it won't do the task - either because the music is not back up on iTunes, or simply because of the way that the iPhone is configured (it has a different syncing process than a regular iPod). I looked up some answers on Google, but all of them require me to download programs, and I'm not sure I want to put my computer at that sort of risk. Is there an easy solution to this problem?
Thanks,
Paula

How do I transfer Airport Capsule to my new MacBook Pro?

Just downloaded all from old MacBrook, how do I transfer to new MacBook?

If you are saying that you used Time Machine to back up the old MacBook, and you now want to transfer that backup data to the new MacBook........Setup Assistant will ask if you want to transfer the data from an old Mac when you first start up the new MacBook. Follow the prompts.
If you have already started up the new MacBook and passed on the Setup Assistant option, then you can use Migration Assistant to perform the same task. The application is located as follows on your Mac:
Finder > Applications > Utilities > Migration Assistant
Click Continue and follow the prompts
