New MacBook Air does not read Pages properly

I migrated my old MacBook Air (2 years old) to my new MacBook Air (one month old) transferring Pages application and many documents in Pages, which I use to edit a magazine.
At first my new MBA refused to open any Pages documents, so I re-installed iWork from CD (using Remote Disc from my iMac). Now my new MBA does open Pages documents, but with disrespect for fonts:
- what was in bold appears in regular font
- what was in italics appears either in regular font or bold+italics
This is a complete disaster as it means I cannot work in the magazine when I travel with my MBA. Plus, I have already given away my old MBA to a friend!
Can anybody help?
Thank you !
Isabel

Did you moved the folder
Macintosh HD:Library:Application Support:iWork '09:
from the old machine to the new one ?
This folder contain a lot of required items.
Without them, iWork's applications can't work.
Don't forget that the license clearly state that *_you must remove the app from the old machine_*

What do I do if my new macbook air does not accept my password even if I've tried more than a few times?

Hi there,
Just bougiht a new macbook air and the start up screen is not accepting my password even though I have typed it in a few times and correctly. I have already used this mac previously for 2 days and have added microsoft office today but this is the first time I have logged in since the installation.
I don't understand why the password isn't being accepted. Could it be the installation? Or do I need to reset my macbook air?
Just a note, I'm not proficient using a Mac.This is my first macbook.
Many thanks for the help.
Tony

You can reset your password with the install cd or usb ...
Follow these steps to reset a password when there is only one administrator account on the computer, or if the original administrator account needs a password reset. "Original" administrator account refers to the one that was created immediately after installing Mac OS X. If the original administrator password is known, that administrator account may be used to reset the passwords of other administrator accounts using the steps described above. These steps require an optical drive; if your Mac does not have an optical drive and you have a Mac OS X v10.6 Install disc, see below.
Start up from a Mac OS X Install disc (one whose version is closest to the version of Mac OS X installed). Usually, you can start from the disc by putting it in your computer, restarting, and holding the C key. Or, put it in the computer and click the Install or Restore icon you see in the disc's main window (after which the computer will start from the disc without you needing to hold C). Or, you can use Startup Manager or the Startup Disk preference pane to select the Install disc.
Choose a language, click the arrow button to continue,
Mac OS X v10.6 or later: Choose Password Reset from the Utilities menu.
Mac OS X v10.5 or v10.4: Choose Reset Password from the Utilities menu.
Mac OS X v10.3: Choose Reset Password from the Installer menu.

My new macbook air does not recognize my line in for recording. Please advise

I plug into a soundboard from a church and record with a line in on my macbook - or at least I did. My old one recognized the line in under sounds but this new one doesn't seem to acknowledge??? Help

Hi Brad Mason,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I am glad that your MacBook Air can connect to the internet using your Time Capsule but I can understand the frustration of not being able to print or back up using Time Machine either. For setting up your printer, I would suggest working through the first attached article.
Mac Basics: Printing in OS X - Apple Support
For making sure that your computer is set up and backing up to Time Machine correctly, I suggest reading over and working through the next attached article.
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
If after verifying that your computer is set up with your printer and Time Capsule correctly you are still having issues, please let me know what errors you receive or what happens when you attempt to print or back up your computer.
Cheers,
Joe

How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software.

How can I convert my Open Source document files into Word document files? I cannot download Pages since my Macbook Air does not have the most recent software. I downloaded open office to my mac to try and save money. It worked well for a while. Now I get this pop-up message that asks me to "Reopen" and when I select the option, nothing happens. I cannot save my documents anymore and I cannot convert them to word. Help!

Does OpenOffice output Word documents by default or do you have to select it manually?
You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc files, yes it needs to be saved manually.
You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one. Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

MacBook Air does not See a Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset

My MacBook Air does not "see" my Plantronics Voyager Pro + bluetooth headset as a discoverable bluetooth asset. I have read on Apple and Plantronics forums that these two devices should be compatible, but so far no luck. Anybody have any experience with this situation?

Turns out the Voyager Pro Bluetooth headset failed...exchanging it for a new one and should be GTG. Thanks.

Are you testing in the same room as the TC?
Power cycle the TC.. does it show up now?
Has it ever showed up .. ie is this a problem that just started from an existing setup, or has never worked?
Is the TC new? If old how old?
If you continue to have issues.. setup the TC from iMac and preferably using ethernet.
Change the wireless names to SMB compatible ones, short no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
Use WPA2 Personal security only.
Then set the wireless channels manually.. try 11, 6, 1 for 2.4ghz and try 36 or 40 at 5ghz.
Tell us how that goes.

Liquid spills, why your MacBook chassis is a one-way valve for spills
After a substantial spill many people will turn their notebook upside down and shake it, not only does this not work, but it spreads liquid havoc throughout your machine and makes things often as bad as possible.
The keyboard itself acts like a one way valve in the case of a substantial liquid spill. While liquid pours into the bottom chassis easy, it does not come out easily at all, and in the case of any spill, most of it will not come out by turning it upside down. Disconnect all power and contact Apple for diagnostics and repair.
Do not attempt to, after a spill, ‘dry out your MacBook’ and test it
After a spill most people invariably try to “dry out” their notebook by various methods, including hair dryers and otherwise. This both does not work, and after a substantial spill of any magnitude, even if the liquid was water, residue is left behind.
There are additionally many very tight places inside your notebook where liquids will linger for a very long time, and cause corrosion or worse.
Immediately unplug your notebook and contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and parts replacement.
In the case of very minor spills people will “dry out” their notebook and feel success that their notebook is working ok, however invariably in nearly all instances after 4-14 days an error / fault pops up and is usually followed by more.
In case of a spill, damage estimates are impossible,.....anything can be fixed, without question.......the question is cost.
contact Apple for in shop diagnostics and cost estimation ....possible parts replacement.

Try a SMC reset
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
This process helps correct these power issues.

My new macbook air is not synching with my iPod classic anymore

any ideas on why my new macbook air is not synching with my iPod classic anymore? It used to just show up on iTunes but it's not there now

iTunes will only transfer music from the iPhone that were bought at Apple's iTunes store. You'll need to use a third party program such as Senuti to transfer music you got from other sources.

Hello, I have purchased and installed Lightroom 5 on my Mac Desktop. I travel with a MacBook Air and would like to have Lightroom 5 on this device as well. The MacBook Air does not have a CD/DVD slot. How do I get Lightroom 5 on my MacBook Air so I can use it while travelling?

Adobe - Lightroom : For Macintosh
Just download and install 5.7.1. Don't worry about earlier versions.
You'll need to enter your serial number to license the software.

HELP! My MacBook Air does not switch on at all

My MacBook Air does not switch on at all. I press the "switch on" button but nothing happens. The battery is fully charged and the laptop is absolutely new (2 month of rare use). Have no idea what's wrong with it.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Aliyusha,
welcome to the forums. I'm sorry to hear about your computer issues.
Do you get a chime? dose the sleep led turn on or blink? What about the led on the power adapter, that LED on or off?

Purchased Lightroom software on disc, new MacBook Pro does not have a disc drawer.

Purchased Lightroom software on disc, new MacBook Pro does not have a disc drawer. Have already opened box. Searched online and someone suggested downloading the LR trial, and set up Cloud, then can enter the serial number to complete the purchase. Which is what I did, but the serial number is being rejected.

Ok, maybe what they’re calling Creative Cloud is merely your Adobe ID, an e-mail and password to login with. The LR5 6 update link is probably what you want to download—all updates are downloads, anyway, so there’s no need to have a disc reader as long as you have internet and the serial number.
Here is the LR 5.6 update for a Mac: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5822
Another issue might be that what you think is a serial number is a redemption code that needs to be converted to a serial number using this website: http://www.adobe.com/go/getserial A clue that you have a redemption code is that it has letters and numbers. A serial number is just numbers and the first few are 1160-something.
