MS Office 2008 doesn't load after migration to MacBook Air
My daughter has a new MacBook Air 11" (2GHz i7, 256 GB SSD, 8GB DDR3 RAM). We used Migration Assistant and an ethernet to Thunderbolt adaptor to move her system from her Late 2007 MacBook running Lion. Microsoft Office 2008 won't load on the MacBook Air. The recurring error message is:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: @executable_path/../Frameworks/Netlib.framework/Versions/12/Netlib
Referenced from: /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft Word
Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Microsoft Word.app/Contents/MacOS/../Frameworks/Netlib.framework/Versions/12/Netlib: unknown file type, first eight bytes: 0xE6 0xF1 0xF5 0xAB 0xCA 0xC5 0xB2 0x35

I have seen several Font-related issues that can be solved by restoring the fonts using Font Book. This looks like it is related to Netlib.
Anyone see this and know how to solve it?

I have no idea what caused MS Office to no work under ML, but using the Remote Disc function on the MacBook Air I was able to reinstall MS Office using the original install disc running in my iMac. I wasn't able to remove the previous version before the new install as the removal tool also crashed. The new install has replaced the old one so I only have one version on the drive now.
I'd be interested in whether there was a solution possible without reinstalling MS Office.

Office 2008 won't start after migration
I recently replaced my hard drive. After doing so, I migrated all my applications and files from another computer and updated to Maverick. Now every time I try to open any office file, Setup Assistant opens and asked if I would like to do some survey, then goes to "Learn more... or Register" When I push register it takes me to a site that tells me I no longer need to register. I can't open any file in Office.
Contact Microsoft, you're having a licensing issue.

After upgrading my Macbook Air to OS Yosemite it doesn't recognise the 3G USB modem which was working previously. Any ideas?
Hi ..
Reset the PRAM > About NVRAM and PRAM
Those instructions are for Mavericks but will work on Yosemite as well.
Then try the USB modem. -
I am going to buy a MacBook Pro 15-inch online. How do I purchase Microsoft Office For Mac to load onto my new MacBook? Can I order this through the Apple website or do I have to go into an Apple Store? Thank You
Jack, you can order online from Apple. Their price right now for MS Office 2011 Mac Home/Student Edition is $150 US. They might put it on your computer but it is very easy to do it yourself.
You could also order rthe same MS Office for Mac online from another retailer. Ex.: OWC (http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/software/)
& they have discounted right now for $110 US. I've gotten may products from them and they are easy to deal with & have good prices/products.
There are other retailers, of course, and sometimes I find good prices at the others as well.
Enjoy the new MacBook. And have a good New Year. -
How can i download office for mac from a disc to my macbook air?
how can i download office for mac from a disc to my macbook air?
You have four options that I know of.
1) Use an external DVD drive that will work on the MBA. (Apple's external Superdrive for MBA)
2) Use a remote disk connection, using another Mac with a DVD drive, and sharing the drive with the MBA.
3) Download Office from Microsoft's website, and then use only the registration code that came with your DVD purchase to authorize the registration.
4) Copy the contents of the Office DVD to a USB flash drive, using another computer. Then install from that flash drive.
Maybe someone else has an idea, if none of the above will woek for you. -
IPhoto doesn't open after migration/upgrade
I see several discussions similar to mine, but not exactly.
I just migrated from a MacBookPro 10.6.8 to a Pro 10.8.2.
My iPhoto was iPhoto 8, vers 7.1.5.
After migration and upgrade my iPhoto is vers 9.4.1.
When I try to open iPhoto I get the message that the library files must be upgraded.
I downloaded and installed iPhotoLibraryUpgrade. When I try to run the program, it says:
You library can open with the current version of iPhoto and does not need to be prepared with this tool.
I have tried opening iphoto with the cmd-opt key, but nothing here will run.
Get the same message: the files must be upgraded.
I downloaded the libraryManager and tried to open the library "package" but an unable to.
It's "untouchable".
Please, any suggestions would be great as I sit here with no access to my iPhotos.With iPhoto Library Manager you need to run the Rebuild command not open the package.

Office 2008 and 2011 do not open on Macbook Pro with Mountain Lion
Can someone please tell me how to get Microsoft office to open in Mountain Lion. I had Office 2008 when I upgraded to Mountain Lion. I could not open it after that so I bought MS Office 2011 and it does not open either. I need to use these applications. What is the fix for this. I unloaded and reloaded 2008 and loaded, unloaded and reloaded 2011 - that does not seem to be the solution. Is there a setting I need to change, or a complete unload I need to do, or what. Can someone give me some answers that work?
Thank you if you can.
ngI don't know about Office, but you can use this for free to get back to work

And check here for compatability with 10.8

I just migrated from MacBook 13' OSX 10.6.8 to MacBook Pro 15' Retina OSX 10.8.2 with the use of Migration Assistant. When attempting to install my Magic Trackpad, the Bluetooth Assistant mentions "name not available" so that the device cannot be detected. In have disconnected the firewall.Thanks for assistance.
Create a new, temporary admin account and see if you can set it up in that account.

Migrated to Macbook Air. Apps now on both new and old macbooks. How?
I have just used the migration software to tranfer to a late 2011 Macbook Air (Lion) from a late 2009 Macbook Pro (Snow Leopard). My intention is to sell my old Macbook Pro.
After migrating, I now have apps (ex. iLife, iWorks, Office, etc) that appear and work on both machines. I only purchased one copy of the software, so how does this work? I want to leave some software on the Macbook Pro for the person buying it. Can I have duplicates, and will they work on both machines simultaneously? Can I just uninstall the software I no don't want to "share"?
Thanks!Migration Assistant doesn't erase anything from the source computer. That is left for you to do. Yes, just delete the software from the old computer. Note: Some licenses permit software to be installed on multiple computers but limit its use to one at a time while others permit installation on only one computer. Still others might permit installation on several computers. Confusing....

Loaded iWork08 on new MacBook Air, won't accept my family pack SN
I purchased the new MacBook Air 13" basic model, loaded the iWork 08 by establishing a link with one of my iMacs, sharing the drive. The programs were successfully installed, the icons were added to my dock, and all was well. When I entered the serial number upon launching the programs, my serial number is declared invalid, and I was invited to purchase a current serial number. I purchased the family pack and have installed it on two or three iMacs, which should leave me a couple of installs.
Any Ideas what I should do next?
It is good to know you experts on everything Apple are out there to help when needed, I only wish I knew enough to help you sometimes.
Thanks,

Yvan, thanks so much for your response. iWorks was the first program I added onto my MBA. I used the install disc in my iMac, and everthing seemed to appear install fine, just like I remember installing the iWorks on that iMac. I used a prceedure that I got from a forum on MacRumors.
I followed the same protocol installing Office:Mac 2008, and entered on of my serial number, and those programs are working well.
A lot of applications put their components in a single area : the Applications folder.
iWork (without a final s) behave differently.
The three apps themselves must be stored in a single subfolder of the Applications folder and some files are stored in the folder which I described.
This scheme is interesting for users with several user accounts if some have iWork installed in the account and others haven't.
The files stored in the described folder may be used by every accounts storing iWork.
Few files are shared this way in iWork '08.
Many files are shared this way in iWork '09 and I guess that they will be more numerous in the next version.

Migration between Macbook airs
Just bought a new MBA, onto which I need to migrate everything from my old one (also an MBA).
Every time I try, it gets about 10% of the way in and then hangs. Even 20 hours later, it's still there. It still claims to be transferring files but it's going nowhere.
My home network is rock-solid and all other devices can load pages and collect email, so it doesn't appear to be that.
It's great to do away with firewire and ethernet cables but the wifi option has to work easily in their place.
Any help appreciated.
NigeIf you are using Wi-Fi or Ethernet to transfer your files, they are the worst method and the slowest method to transfer data. The Wi-Fi method should work properly, but it could be interrupted if the router stops the connection between both Macs (it happens more than you think, even if your router is working correctly) or a Mac could go to sleep.
If your old Mac is a Mid 2011 or newer, simply buy a Thunderbolt cable and use it to transfer your files.
If you have an older MacBook, you can consider the option of making a backup of your old MacBook Air onto an external drive by using Time Machine > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427 Then, just connect the external drive to your new Mac, turn it on and follow the Setup Assistant steps (if you haven't set up the computer yet) or use Migration Assistant > http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html -
Advice Needed - Migrating to Macbook Air
This is a multi-facited question and I am seeking advice most of all.
I have a 2008 iMac
I would like to retire it and use my 2011 Mac Air as my primary computer (With a Thunderbolt Display)
If I use the Migratiion Assistant - will I have to delete the files currently on my Mac Air?
Is there a way to merge them?
My concern is also space. With x free
I have 256 ssd hard drive on my air. with 80 free
The drive on the iMac is 320 Gig HD with 170 Gigs free
I have important programs such as CS6 on my iMacs drive - I would prefer not to have to reinstall them.
I have heard that there are issues with booting and updating an OS on an external drive.
I have considered using Super Duper to move my iMacs system to an external drive and selectively boot to it as needed.
Is that a good idea?
Any advice is truly appreciated.A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
1. Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
2. Screensavers written for the PowerPC System Preference add-ons
3. All Unsanity Haxies Browser and other plug-ins
4. Contextual Menu Items
5. Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5 Kernel extensions
6. Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro , SuperDuper , and Drive Genius work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.
Additional links that will be helpful to new Intel-Mac users:

3. MacInTouch List of Compatible Universal Binaries

6. Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
7. OS X Lion: How to use Migration Assistant to transfer files from another Mac
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake
or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and
registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your
desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
a. MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch,
Late 2008) - What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
b. MacBook Air - Migration Tips and Tricks;
c. MacBook Air - Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and
wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft.
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

Did you have buggy Mavericks issue after installing on Macbook Air Mid 2012?
Before I have upgraded my OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 to Mavericks 10.9 it runs so smoothly and no issues or hanging that I encounter. But just this morning when I installed Mavericks, I have the following issues:
1.) When I was adding a book(pdf and epud files) in iBook, the Finder malfunctioned, coz when I browse the books to it's location so I can add some more again, the Sidebar icons disappeared and only the names left. And when I go to the location of the files using Finder, the content is nowhere to be found, just a symbol on the window’s status bar that it is loading or busy on something.
2.) When I go to the Launchpad, when I scroll to left and right to find the apps I’m looking using the touchpad, it's not as smooth as before. It tends to halt on sliding to the other groups of apps, seems like there’s a friction stopping it from sliding smoothly all the way to the next group of apps.
3.) Updating the Apps from App Store seems cumbersome like the iPhoto and iMovie, coz when the internet fails or drops its signal for a while or so, you go back and download everything again, and when you hover the mouse to see the progress of the downloaded app, it shows for example 22mb of 1gb then shifted to 300mb of 1gb then back to 22mb of 1gb then back again. It’s not accurate and going berserk.
4.) And I don't know if it is just me, but the screen profile have changed a bit coz the red color of the Power Point icon seem too red and everything that has a hint of red color seems exaggerated, it’s too bright red. I'm just not sure it might be the GUI style of the Mavericks. . .
Anyway, have any of you experienced these kinds of issues on your Macbook Air Mid 2012?
Hopefully this could be fixed and Apple would seed an update in no time.Even on my MacBook Pro Haswell (2013) 15 inch retina with a GT 750 2gb.
The Things in Mavericks that really make me :
1. The Launchpad is buggy when i scroll to the left or right... sometimes it doesn't even respond at all.
2. Safari and Other Apps Like AppStore freez sometimes, and i need to force quit everytime, because its not responding.
3. Bootcamp Windows 8.1 <---- NOT 8 Support (Bad Keyboard- Facetime camera- drivers,
Icons (brightness, sound) are ugly on retina screen) + GPU Drivers i can't update (maybe that's normal).
4. iTunes is very SLOW when Scrolling the Albums (i know its 2880x1800 and that's heavy for GPU) But it's just not a good 'Experience'.
5. Gaming its realy good on this MacBook, but please make the drivers better, i know this GT 750 GPU can do better. -
My MacBook Air is barely a month and it suddenly shuts down way slower than it used to. It used to take just 3 seconds. I do not have much installed, except for an HP Printer and the MS Office suite. It shut down just as fast even after I installed them.. I noticed it shut down at least about 10 seconds sometime after I updated the software yesterday to Mac OS X version 10.7.1. Is this nornal? I would prefer the snappier shut down process.:-(

Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
