IWork from previous Mac

I had iWork 06 on a Powerbook G4. I recently sold the Powerbook (wiped hard drive)and bought a MacBook Pro. I had my old system backed up on an external hard drive. When I try to drag iWork 06 to my MacBook Pro I have to re-enter my serial number but the problem is I can't find my serial number.
Is there anyway to drag is over so I can start using iwork?
If there is another post discussing this please direct me to that post. I could not find a different post.

Never mind I found my Key

  • Can I import iWork from my Mac, which has Snow Leopard, to my MacBook Air, which has Mountain Lion?

    Can I import iWork from my Mac, which has Snow Leopard, to my MacBook Air, which has Mountain Lion?
    I would appreciate any advice on the intricacies of operating with Snow Leopard on my main computer and Mountain Lion on my MacBook Air.

    I'm not sure there are any intricacies except you can't use iCloud to keep the two things synced. It would be mostly contacts, Safari bookmarks, Calendars, notes, etc.
    Also, iCloud allows saving iWork documents in the Cloud, so you can access them on both systems. That would not be available for the old Mac.
    The two OSes are similar enough that it wouldn't be too difficult to work between the two, but there will be differences in using the Finder (contextual menu changes)
    I thought I would have more, but I've been off Snow Leopard for so long now, I'll leave this for someone who is currently operating like that or recently switch to Mountain Lion from SL.

  • How can I uninstall the demo of iWork from my Mac?

    I have Microsoft Office on my new mac and every time I try to open a word document or powerpoint presentation, I end up launching the demo version of iWork.
    I would like to know how to remove it from my computer so this doesn't happen anymore.
    Thanks.

    Removing iWork from your computer is incredibly easy -- just drag it to the trash.
    But that won't address the root of your problem. Your "problem" will be resolved if you just make the MS Word and PowerPoint applications the default applications to open your MS Word and PowerPoint documents (respectively).
    Select an MS Word document in a Finder window and select "Get Info..." from the File menu. Click on the "Open with" disclosure triangle, then choose the MS Word application from the pop-up window and click on "Change All...".
    Perform a similar sequence with a PowerPoint document (but choose the PowerPoint application from the "Open with" pop-up).

  • How can I load Numbers 2.3 or iWork from my mac pro to my new Mini??

    Hi guys.  I want to load numbers 2.3 onto my new mac mini running Mavericks. I want 2.3 and 3.0 to run side by side as I have seen others do here.
    My Mini has only ever had 3.0.  I copy and pasted iWorks over, however it did not work though comes up with compatibility error.
    the app store did allow me to update from this method though.
    My mac pro is running 10.6.4 with iWorks 09 running beautifully.
    I was told about trying Migration Assistant, did not work either, My ex HDD has TM for both on there and when I open MA it only recognizes and asks about
    importing from the mini backup only. It is not reading the mac pro backup.
    Any ideas or suggestions are much appreciated.
    I have attempted downloads from net with no avail, I am giving my cc numbers to pple when they say 'I will not charge you'....
    one download was an issue because osx no longer supports ppc power pc games - claytons hard drives on computer.
    Thanks and enjoy.
    I see my other question on moving tables between sheets is stumping ppl, a few views no responses,  Is it POSSIBLE???
    Jason.  Dream Big and achieve everyone.

    Not sure it will work - it might have to do with the licensing requirements; any app downloaded through the app store can be run on as many Macs as you own and control. However, yours is still the old version of  iWork which has an older, separate agreement. Applicable excerpt here:

  • I seem to have inherited a lot of issues from previous macs i've had over the years resulting in my present iMac (21" 2.9Ghz i5) behaving strangely! Its slow on start up, and safari settings seem to reconfigure themselves ?? Any idea's ??

    iMac 2.9Ghz intel i5
    8GB
    21.5"
    Data migrated from a macbook pro and previously from an older iMac.
    Can I restore to a clean start-up and re-install apps (docs, photo's music etc)from time machine without
    bringing the issues that are causing a few issues.
    ie Some web sites will not open ( I have checked that the sites are live).
    Slow start up.
    Some web sites ask me to check cookies- I've not changed them, and the problem is not constant ? (Safari is main browser).
    Any advice gratefully received.
    Tony

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
    4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
    11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

  • Time Capsule Back up from previous mac won't mount

    Hi Guys,
    here's the problem I cannot solve myself even if I have been trying many times:
    1) I use to have a Mac book pro under snow leopard that was backed up to a Time Capsule.
    2) I bought half a year ago a MacBook air that I have been using as main computer ever since as I gave the MacBook Pro to one of my employees to use at work.
    3) Before giving it away to my staff, I made sure that I had a complete Time Machine back up of the MacBook Pro.
    4) Obviously I could not upload all of the MBP backup onto my MacBook Air because the hard drive's capacity was too big on the MacBook Pro compared to the MacBook Air. I only uploaded the documents and preferences when installing the OS on the Macbook Air through the migration assistant.
    5) Since then I have upgraded the MacBook Air to Lion and bought an iMac (running Lion too) to upload my pictures and music from my previous MacBook Pro backup.
    The problem is that it is impossible for me to mount the disk image of the back up of the MacBook Pro, it does not work on both the iMac and MacBook Air.
    When I go into the TC folders in Finder, I can see the sparsebundle of the MBP (next to the one of the MacBook Air, which is mistakenly name Tom's MacBook Pro):
    but double clicking it simply won't mount the disk image and I get the following error message:
    I try to put the .sparsebundle into disk utility to verify it but it does not work either:
    Any Idea how I can solve this?
    Thanks already for your support!

    Unfortunately, the sparsebundle containing your backups is corrupted --  corrupted so badly that Disk Utility can't even tell what it is.
    Worse, the heavy-duty 3rd-party disk repair apps that can sometimes fix things Disk Utility can't, don't work on a Time Capsule's internal HD.  You'd have to physically remove the internal HD (which voids the warranty) and install it in a "disk enclosure" to even try.
    There are some data recovery apps you can use to recover some files in situations like this, but they don't work on a Time Capsule's internal HD, either.   There might be a service that can do it, but they're very expensive.
    To make things even more dire, dealing with data recovered from a Time Machine backup can be a huge puzzle.  See Data Recovery, especially the blue box.

  • Synching iPod Nano 4th from previous Mac to borrowed PC..

    I am temporarily using a borrowed PC while my Mac is being fixed. When I plug the iPod into the iTunes PC, it asks me if I want to re-format the iPod. If I do so with the PC, will I be able to re-format it back when I go back to the Mac OS X Tiger, Leopard, or Snow Leopard ?

    Hello Robert,
    Yes, you will be able to reformat the iPod back to Mac's native format when your iPod returns.
    Since a Windows machine cannot read or write to a Mac's format, you will have to format the iPod in order to use it with the PC you are temporarily using. Keep in mind, that by reformatting the iPod, you will be deleting everything from it, so make sure all your music and files that currently reside on it are backed up somewhere for safekeeping.
    On another note, you don't have to reformat the iPod again after re-syncing the iPod with your Mac, because Mac's can Read and Write to Windows formatted iPods, but you can still choose to do so if you wish.
    Hope this helps.

  • IMovie projects from previous mac

    I have just upgraded my computer to a new imac - congratulations I hear you all cry!!
    I have a folder with all my movies/iMovie projects/iMovie events and what I thought was all the work from iMovie stored safely on an external disk.
    My problem is that when I search for the iMovie project folder - they are all there but greyed out -
    I cant seem to open them in iMovie now.
    Have I missed something here - in iMovie!!
    Any ideas please....

    Your external disk needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled) for iMovie to see it. It may be that your's is formatted as FAT32. If so, you might try dragging *using the Finder) the iMovie Projects folder contents to the iMovie Projects folder on your new Mac's internal drive. Do the same for the iMovie Events folder.

  • Problem MacBook Lion and TC file recovery from previous Mac

    I had backed up my Macbook (white) with Snow Leopard with Time Capsule. After having upgraded to a new Macbook Pro with Lion, having done migration, I found that not all photos or files have been transferred over.
    I am now trying to get them back from Time Capsule but it seems the new Macbook Pro does not communicate well with it.
    So i dug up my old macbook and tried to restore files there - but now getting an error (cannot mount disk images)
    Very disappointed and worried.  Anyone had the same problem please or good tips to overcome please? Thanks

    Not sure what to say. In the first case, your using a comptuer with a totally different OS, and different hardware, to try to communicate with your sparse bindle from the orignal. I can see where you may run into issues here.
    Can you quote the message exactly on the older nbp that you've getting?

  • Just used migration assistant from one mac to another one.  When I restart the new mac, the old user boots up instead of my new user.  Have to log out then log in.

    Just got a new Imac.  I migrated from the old Imac.  When I boot the new Imac, the old user screen boots up.  I have to log out and then log into my new user on the new mac.  Whats up?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your help. But the PowerBook has a Migration Assistant designed for the purpose of transfering files from the old Mac to the new Mac. The steps take me to the point where I'm instructed to restart the old Mac while holding down the "T" key. But nothing happens when I do that. It just restarts and the Migration Assistant on the new Mac still reads "waiting for old Mac to restart".
    There has to be a way to do this. I can't install the original applications on the PowerBook from scratch because they were meant to run on Classic. The PowerBook doesn't recognize any of the old Classic installation disks I have from previous Macs (Oddly, the PowerBook has capability to run Classic, but not the actual software-- and no Classic installation disk was provided, unlike the software provided for iBooks. And I can't install any of the System X upgrades because they need to recognize the original application already on the computer in order to upgrade.
    I just calculated that if I have to rebuy all the applications I need, I couldn't afford to do it (unless someone can-- or even wants to-- take the old versions off my hands to offset the cost of buying new ones).
    There must thousands of graphic designers like me who run a small business and can't afford to re-stock their entire software collection every time they upgrade to a new computer. Why would Apple diss the very people who have been supporting the company (actually keeping it alive) all these years? I don't think they would do that. I'll just have to keep looking for a solution.

  • HT201269 my latest backup is not showing, only showing backups from previous devices.  using i cloud

    I purchased a new iphone 4s to replace my current iphone 4s and I'm trying to backup and transfer info.  On new device when i search for backups nothing recent is showing although old device is showing last backup?

    After installing Lion, the time machine is not showing the backup from previous mac os version.
    How did you upgrade?  Did you erase everything and reinstall/recopy/restore your data?   If so, and if the old backups are selected in Time Machine Preferences, see the last paragraph in the pink box of #15A of Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.
    the finder window is only showing "All files", "Documents" and "Air drop" folder.
    From the Finder menubar, select Preferences > Sidebar and click the things you want to appear.
    For some other things you may stumble over, see: Changes in Lion from Snow Leopard.
    how can I go back to Snow leopard from Lion.
    If you have Time Machine backups from Snow Leopard, see #14 in the FAQ link.

  • If I bought Pages, Keynote, and Numbers from the Mac App Store on my Mac, can I get those programs on my iPhone?

    Ok, I bought iWork from the Mac App Store on my iMac. I just wondering if I could get those three programs on my iPhone 5 for free since I already bought them.

    The iVersions are slightly different than the desktop version.
    They are not as powerful as the desktop version. In my case, I do all my document creating on the desktop (create the attendance spreadsheet and form) and edit only on the iPad (take attendance for the day). The commands needed to create the attendance form, for example, on the iGadget do not exist in the iVersion.

  • Does purchasing a Maverick Mac give you iWork on the Mac App Store?

    Hi everyone!
    I have not purchased iWork from the Mac App Store before, but I've seen it and used it on iPhone and I prefer its simplicity to Microsoft Office. Plus, I give presentations frequently enough and I like Keynote a lot more for all its usability and effects.
    I'm thinking of getting another Mac soon, and I'm glad to hear that the new Macs running Mavericks come with iWork. However, I'm wondering if I will have iWork as under my Purchases in the Mac App Store by default after buying the new Mac, since they come together. That way, I'll be able to install it on my other Mac, since the Mac App Store allows you to install your purchases on all the devices you own.
    Does anyone know whether I'll be able to do this? Will iWork be put under my Mac App Store purchases since I will own it as a result of buying the new Mac?
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, once you have the iWork apps installed on the new Mac, the apps will be available to download and install from the Purchases pane on your other Macs.

  • Unable to back up external hard drive via Time Machine.  Says no room but has back ups from two previous Mac notebooks on it.  Tried deleting them and now can't do anything.  Any ideas?

    As john noted, eventually that external is probably not going to be big enough, but it certainly is for now. The HD just needs enough capacity to cover the amount of data on your internal HD, not the internal HD's total capacity.
    Format/partition the external as follows and you should be set to go:
    1. Connect the external HD to the MBP.
    2. Open Disk Utility on the MBP.
    3. Select the external HD in the left pane.
    4. Click on the Erase tab.
    5. Choose the Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    NOTE: if you want to zero the HD (which I always think is a good idea, but does take time), click on Security Options, click the button for Zero Out Data, click OK. The larger the HD, the longer this will take, in some cases several hours.
    6. Click on Erase and wait for the entire process to finish.
    7. Click the Partition tab.
    8. Click on Volume Scheme: and choose the number of partitions (just one in this situation).
    9. Click on the Options button (located underneath the Volume Scheme pane) and select GUID.
    10. Click Apply.
    11. Quit Disk Utility.
    Backup your internal to the external. What application are you using to backup with? I highly recommend both SuperDuper! and CarbonCopyCloner.

  • How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation bcoz of earlier files

    How to remove preinstalled files of adobe photoshop from my mac mini so that i can install a new version of the same software.The previous version was removed using the app cleaner software.Could not continue installation of the new version because of the existance of files from the previous version.plz help

    What "app cleaner software" ? I ask because installing Photoshop over a previous version has never been a problem. Perhaps your difficulty stems from another source, eg. "cleaner software" ?
    If you look in your hard drive, at the root level there is a Library. In there is a folder called Application Support, and in that you will find a folder called Adobe. Files from your previous version are there.
    However, I urge you to call Adobe support to make sure you are not doing anything that would mess up other Adobe applications.
