Macbook Migration Issues - Multiple Accounts and Applications Not Opening

Hello,
I used Migration Assistant via Ethernet cable to Migrate from a MacBook to a MacBook Pro and have encountered a few issues which are outlined in parts below. I followed the setup and migration steps from starting up me new computer for the first time
Firstly my notebooks:-
Old Computer - MacBook5,1, (2008 Aluminium case) running Mac OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Lepard)
New Computer -MacBook Pro ( mid 1012)  running Mac OSX 10.6.8 (Lion)
Issues:-
1. User Acounts:
I now have 2 accounts on my new MacBook Pro. (I only want one). Some application were transferred to the first account, and the second account all files and applications were transferred. How do i get to have just one account, the one from my old computer?
2. Applications:
Office for Mac 2008, These are present in my new MacBook Pro under the 2nd account along with all my document files. Yet when i try to open a File or one of the Office apllication such as Entourage, Word or Excel, Microsoft Setup Assistant launches. It asks to if I want complete a survey,  the next step is "Getting Started" and it asks to "register" or just click Finish. Clicking Finish simply closes the Setup  assistant. Clicking Register takes me to the Office Mac website where is says " Registration no Longer required" Either way i can not open any of these programes.
Other programes such as photoshop ask me to install Java Runtime, others require me to re regisiter with product key i no longer have, and some begin to open and close in a fraction of a second.
What Steps do i need to take to make this work smoothly?
Thanks in Advance.

When I went to the 2012 MBP this is what I did for multiple accounts.  I tried Migration, several errors.  so I:
1.  I installed from scratch. Creating my user names, ie user 1 and user 2.
2.  After install was complete I ran updates since there are already updates to the 2012 machine.
3.  I used time machine to move my work files, music etc over to each user.
4.  I then installed the programs again.
I know this is a long process but I have not had any issues.  For Office 2008 I would recommend going to 2010.  I have no issues with it doing the above steps. MS really doesn't support 2008 with Lion so that is one of the bigger issues.  Try MS knowledge base for other people who have issues with Office 2008..

  • Installer and Applications not opening

    After the latest security and Safari updates, I can't open anything except third-party software.
    I deleted my own account and am using the Administrator account, and have enabled Administrator as root user, but I still can't get basic apps to open (when I say basic I mean iTunes). The icon will flash in the dock for a second and then disappear.
    Has anyone else had this problem?

  • The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin, how can I eliminate this problem without dropping m. firefox?

    A few days ago I tried to e-mail a friend, when I started A box came up and it required me to add a plugin..Java. I contacted my e-mail courier and microsoft, they told me that is was a plugin from Mozilla Firefox. Since then I must go through Java to send or open an e-mail... this is NOT to my satisfaction, it takes too long for all of this to open and if it is not cleared , I am dropping Mozilla and going elsewhere. Why has this occurred? Is this a result of the last update? If so can I delete the last update and continue on the other version?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == last week

    Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
    If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.
    http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
    If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
    It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.

  • In private browsing not working in Firefox 3.6.12 If I open yahoomail one session for one account and if I open other session for yahoomail, it automatically opens the earlier mail account.

    In private browsing not working in Firefox 3.6.12 If I open yahoomail one session for one account and if I open other session for yahoomail, it automatically opens the earlier mail account. But if I want to use more than one yahoomail accounts, in private browsing is not working. Please suggest.

    That problem isn't related to Private Browsing specifically, that's how Firefox works with regards to multiple "sessions" with the same server - only one logon is allowed at any time. Try using one of these extensions to be able to run multiple session cookies.

  • TS3899 My ipad does not communicate with iphone on one of my email accounts and will not remove deleted emails that are done on the iphone and vice versa, what setting should be changed?

    My ipad does not communicate with my iphone on one of my email accounts and will not remove deleted emails that are done on the iphone and vice versa, what setting needs to be changed?

    It's my understanding that an iPhone can only sync with one computer. You need to choose one computer. Sounds like it syncs at work, but not at home. If you want to just sync it at home, then you have to make sure the home computer has all the info that you want on it, like music etc. Then you have to deauthorize the work computer for it to sync at home. When you connect it will ask if you want to set up as a new iPhone or restore from backup. If you don't have a backup on the home computer then either way you will be wiped clean. So any photos, contacts, notes etc you have will be erased. You would need to backup or copy your photos from your iPhone. When you connect it to your home computer, it will give you that popup message to open your iPhone files. Then you can copy those photos and save them onto your computer and sync them back in through iTunes.
    For your contacts, do you use any type of address book? If so you'll want to back that up and then transfer to your home computer. For notes, you can just email those to yourself and then save that email. I use MobileMe so the contacts issue is easily resolved.
