Old iMac numbers 08, new Mac Book pro won't let me open numbers without converting to Numbers 09

I bought a new Mac Book Pro and when moving my Numbers and Pages files to the new computer it will not allow me to open the files until I update them to Numbers 09 first. On my iMac I was running Numbers 08. Any suggestions how to tackle this issue?
Thanks,

Hi onnygirl,
Numbers 3 will not open Numbers '08 documents.
On your iMac, open and then export your Numbers '08 documents to Excel.
Transfer the Excel documents to your MacBook and they will open in Numbers 3.
Numbers is not an Excel clone, so there will be some glitches .
Regards,
Ian.

After migrating a new Mac Book Pro from Time Capsule, I noticed that I lost a group of Favorites on the older iMac. The puzzling thing is that the Favorites are on my iPhone--not the old iMac or the new Mac Book Pro. How do I get the Favorites back?

If you are syncing using iCloud, try going to System Preferences/iCloud (computers) and checking Safari. If it is checked, try deselecting it, wait 10-15 seconds, and then check it again.

photo shop elements 12
What is your program? You specifically ask about Premiere Elements but your ID = photo shop elements 12.
It is confusing why Reynolds Films 2014 is replying to your thread, talking about Photoshop Elements.
Assuming some version of Premiere Elements currently on some Windows operating system.
What version of Premiere Elements do you have and on what computer operating system does it exist?
How did you install your version of Premiere Elements on Windows - installation files from an online purchase or
from installation disc from purchase of the product in box packaging?
What installation files or installation disc do you have?
You cannot install Premiere Elements Windows installation files on a Mac computer. If you want Premiere Elements
for your Mac computer, you will need to buy a version of Premiere Elements Mac that is supported by your Mac computer.
If you purchased Premiere Elements Windows in box packaging, it probably came with 2 installation discs, one for
Windows and one for Mac. If that is the case, use the Mac installation disc to try to install the program on your
Mac computer.
But, we need the details from you in order to sort out what is and what needs to be done.
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thanks.

Use old program on a new mac book pro?

I have transferred Adobe programs from my old mac book to my new mac book pro, but I can´t open the programs?

Henriette,
Unless you transfer the entire contents of the old mac book, as in using what is (elsewhere) know as an Image of the entire harddisk from the old one, I am afraid you will have to get rid of everything (whichever way that is possible) and install everything from scratch just as you would without the old one.

Adobe programs don't do well with migration. You should uninstall them, run the cleaner tool (CS Cleaner Tool for installation problems | CCM, CS6, CS5.5, CS5, CS4, CS3), and reinstall from the original installers, but you also need to be aware that many older programs are not supported on newer versions of OSX so this may not go smoothly.

I have recently transferred data from my old PC to my new Mac Book Pro (Mavericks OS). Each transfer creates a new User account (titled 'Owner', 'Owner 1', etc). I want to merge the files from these transfers into my main user account. Help?

I have recently transferred data from my old PC to my new Mac Book Pro (Mavericks OS). Each transfer creates a new User account (titled 'Owner', 'Owner 1', etc). I want to merge / consolidate the files from these newly created User accounts into my main user account. Is there a tutorial for this process, or any tips? Anyone?

Four transfers. After the initial attempt with Migration Assistant failed (after hours and hours of wifi transfer) I did "mini-transfers" of more manageable, smaller bits of files -- my music in one, photos in another, etc. Since posting my question in this forum, i contacted Apple support, chatted with Angela, and she suggested getting an ethernet-USB adapter for my mac, connecting my external drive with ethernet and transferring files manually -- that is, NOT using the Migration Assistant at all. She sent me this link to help: Switch Basics: Migrate your Windows files to your Mac. I appreciate your response, tho', Csound1!

I need help connecting my old pc to my new mac book pro.

I cannot connect my old pc to my new mac book pro. Can anyone help me through this process. Thx.

OK. Starting with iTunes: Macworld - How to transfer iTunes libraries between PC and Mac.
Get yourself an external hard drive and format it using NTFS on your PC. OS X can read from an NTFS formatted drive. Copy your photos and documents to this drive. Use the drive to transfer you iTunes data via the method outlined in the above linked article. This will prove easier and faster than using a network.

Hooking old PC printer to new Mac Book Pro

I just got a new Mac Book Pro for college and my dad's work partner gave him a printer he got for free through Ford motor Co. a few years ago. Is there a way I can hook the old printer from "Hewlett Packard" to my new laptop?

Hi, Grace. If the printer can only be connected via a parallel printer cable that has huge 25-pin connectors on both ends, you can't use it. If it has a USB port and cable, you can physically connect it, and then you'll need to find and install the appropriate software driver for it, if one exists for the Mac.
What is HP's model number for the printer?

Old i-pod and new mac book pro

I have an old i-pod (I think refered to as classic) and an new mac book pro. I managed i-pod files on sony vios that I no longer have. I want to connect i-pod to new pro to manage files. I do not want to lose music. What is the process to get i-pod to recognize new mac book.

Try going to the app store, in your applications folder.
Then go to the purchases section and if you see iphoto in the selection it should have an install button on the right click that and it will install.

My mac book pro won't let me log in

I wanted to set up a password for my mac book pro as it normally logged me in automatically as I opened the screen, on setting it up it asked wether I would like my name to should and for audio I ticked yes, now I'm having the problem that as I turn on my mac or open the screen I'm being asked to log in no name shows up and the audio asked me to type in my username, I type it in as in was and my normal password and it says it's incorrect and I can no longer log back into my own mac book pro :( pleaseeee some one expect/genius help me :)

Vcdiaz88,
so your model is a 13-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. iOS 7 is an operating system that iPhones can run; it’s not something that MacBook Pros can run. Given the model that you have, you either have Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.something) or Mavericks (OS X 10.9.something) installed. Rebooting your MacBook Pro will not cause your internal disk to lose everything; every time you shut down your computer and start it up again, you’re rebooting it.
To reset your password, you’ll need to restart your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode; to do that, hold down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. When the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Utilities from the menu bar, and then select Terminal from there. In the Terminal window, give it the following command, pressing the Return key afterwards:
resetpassword
After following the instructions to reset your password, exit Terminal and select Restart from the Apple menu on the menu bar; that will restart your MacBook Pro into its normal mode. Try logging in as your user with your reset password to see if it now works properly.
To allay your concerns about losing everything on your internal disk, I’d highly recommend that you buy an external disk to act as a Time Machine backup destination. That way, in case of future disk problems, restoring your existing working environment will not be a problem.

Transferring some files from old hard drive to new mac book pro: How do I do this? I bought a SATA Wire, and can't figure out how to get my files

Hi there, my old mac book recently died and I opted to buy a new macbook pro, instead of pouring lots of money into the old computer. I was able to get my hard drive out, and I bought a 2.5" Sata Nootbook Drive Upgrade Kit. I have also installed superduper!....but I can't really figure out how to get everything to work. I just want to be able to take some of my files from my hard drive, not everything...
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I don't know what a "2.5" Sata Nootbook Drive Upgrade Kit" is but if you have a internal drive you need to connect all you needed was a $20 IDE/SATA to USB adapter
You don't need Superduper, that's software designed to clone a entire Mac's boot drive to a external drive for bootable backup purposes using the same machine/make/model.
Since the new Mac is different than the old one you can't clone (well you could but it will break the machine) the old drive to the new one.
However you can use the adapter above and software Apple provides in the Utilities folder on the NEW MAC, called Migration Assistant to transfer your User to the new machine.
However this might not be the best course of action as it can transfer unwanted data and cause problems in the Library, old programs that won't run on 10.7, etc.
You can simply create the same named user on the machine (System Preferences > Accounts) log into it and then connect the external drive with the adapter and copy the contents of your users folders over and place into the same.
It's always good to have another Admin level user account on the machine in case the primary one has a User based issue and you need to log into the other and grab files. So if either manually or via using Migration Assistant you wind up with two user accounts on the machine, it's really not that big of a deal.

Mac book pro won't let me log on

My mac book won't let me log on. It has the window for me to log in my password, but it will not let me type anything in. then the screen turns black. any advice?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
