PC has just died, so have ordered an mbp. Will word transfer, or do I have to buy word for Mac????
Hi.
My PC has finally died.......
Excitingly, have ordered a MBP.
My question is, will word documents transfer, or do I need to buy word for windows.
Nothing serious, just letters, invoices etc.
THANK YOU.
If you're accustomed to working with MS Office, you can purchase Office for Mac 2011 and your documents will open fine - albeit if different fonts were used there may be some reflow problems.
Before buying Office for Mac, you may want to try out two free alternatives - LibreOffice or OpenOffice. I don't use them as I use Office for Mac but either should be able to open your Word documents.

My mid-2009 MacBook Pro has just died via a painful (for me) hard drive failure. I backed up a good percentage of files recently but not enough to keep me happy. I need to access the dead drive on the MBP via a 2008 iMac. Best options?
I have ordered a 800 firewire to 800 firewire cable and am hoping to use the target mode option to copy files from the MBP.
Is this possible?
Hope so!
Any advice and or help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
NeilThanks Ogelthorpe.
Just bought an enclosure to try that also.
Hoping the MBP isn't really dead but just feigning death
Fingers crossed. -
Hi I'm a x230 i5 w7 32bit owner and my one has just died! I love this laptop and its been faultless until last night.
I'm no computer boffin so please play nicley....
Here is what happend... the norton virus software got in a loop so when I press no as I didnt want to install unknown software it kept coming back. I swtiched user and it wasnt affecting the other acount, but go back into the admin acount I could get it out the loop until I press ok... install.... then everything closed and that was that. Doh
So when power on it comes up with the Lenovo screen then black screen with a small flashing curser in the corner. I cant start in safe mode with f8, I can hit f1 and f12 to choose boot options.
I have downloaded and writen a recovery (of the microsoft site) disk onto a usb with no luck, it starts then i can choose to boot from usb, somthings download but then it crashes at the end of the run comand instal line...
I then tryed removing the solid stated hard drive, that seemed to make things worse and seemed the optons when f1 is pressed are gone.
So I'm thinking maybe the optical hard drive is dead? from what was a virus of some sort? I dont know and I have no idea what my next step would be.
Thanks!Hi Benypm,
I am glad to know that the issue has been resolved, and regarding the drivers issue please provide me the MTM number of the system which will be at the back of the system on white sticker.
And regarding the HDD space, I suggest you to perform the clean installation of Windows or you can use any 3rd party software to clean the disk space.

Hope this helps!

While playing my albums in iTunes it has just started playing the first song but will not progress through the other songs on the album. Did I accidentally change setting or are other people having the same trouble? thanks
Hi there Sing Me A Song,
You may have changed the Up Next list in iTunes. Take a look at the article below for more information on the Up Next lists and how to edit it.

I have a playlist that will not transfer from my Itunes on my laptop to my IPhone 4S during synching. Recommendations please!
Regular or smart?
You may need to remove any references to Podcasts, e.g. use "Playlist is Music" instead of "Podcast is false".

I have cs5 on my pc, can i buy cs6 for mac separately and keep both?
I have cs5 on my pc, can i buy cs6 for mac separately and keep both?
I have cs5 installed and activated on PC A and PC B.
If I buy CS6, can I use that on my MAC C and MAC D while still being able to use the cs5 on my PC A and PC B, since mac and pc are two different platforms?
Thank You!No. That would be against the letters and the legal spirit of the EULA and that aside it's not possible for technical reasons. Either you make a platform swap, in which case you will lose your PC licenses of course, or you buy a second CS6 license for your Mac(s) and keep your CS5 on the PCs.

I was listening to music on the iPod app when the phone just died. It had around 80% of battery as well so it's not that. I've tried resetting (holding down home and on/off button) but no luck. Any suggestions?
The iOs 5.1 is a huge file that needs to be dowloaded when updating/restoring, your phone hasnt completed the update so its now in recovery mode. Look on the left of itunes, it should say downloads under the store section with a spinning wheel, click that and youll see the update file with a time remaining, wait for that download to finish then try the restore again and it should work

What needs to be done to regain my Microsoft Office for Mac suite that I lost when I installed Mac os 10.7.3 Lion upgrade?

Or you could just wipe out Lion and restalled Snow Leopard. Then when you are in the market for a new computer, desktop of notebook, buy something other then Apple.
why would you say things like that here? if you are a windows one then stay there. but you are not polite or helpful and if can't use Apple i wonder why you would come here to tell all about your sad story. I don't understand that it has nothing to do with question asked.
I own, or should I say have owned, several Apple products. Including a new MBP.
I also use Windows.
I will say anything I like in an effort to help people overcome problems they are having with Mac's and computers in general.
Being a Apple Fanboy is not required for membership on this forum or trying to help other Mac users.
And just how is suggesting to remove Lion and to go back to Snow Leopard not helping the OP in his quest to make his already owned and paid for MS Office software work? If it is isn't broken stop trying to fix it. Snow Leopard is a fine OS. Lion is still in Beta, only Apple hasn't told anyone. And yes I run Lion on my new MBP but I also have a partition with Snow Leopard on it.
Thank you and have a great day. -
I cannot open my photoshop. Its asking me for a serial number, which I already have. However, it will not accept my serial number. I've had this program for 5 years and this has never happened.
If your Creative Suite version is #3 through 6, you might try running the CS Cleaner Tools in preparation for a re-install.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
If you have a legacy version, it may be that the activation servers for your product are no longer available.

Is there a way to get Outlook to sync to the calendar and then to my phone (iphone4)?
I also need the contact list to sync to the computer, but not ot my phone.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.Yes I have received and answer. You cannot import your contacts or ical information into Outlook. You have to re-enter everything. It gets even worse.
With the newer Mac's, you cannot sync your iphone with Outlook. There use to be a way of doing this, but if you are running Yosemite, you cannot, so in
order to have the calendar information on your iphone and Outlook, you have to enter the information into both Outlook AND ical. -
Since uprgading to Mountain Lion, my mac mail no longer works with my exchange email properly. I finally gave up and moved back to outlook for mac, but now my new issue is using outlook calendar and contacts with icloud; possible?
Sorry but I'm really not to sure what I have. I'm not good with knowing my computer model. All I know is that its a MacBook running with Leopard. I got my computer last year so I suppose its fairly new. Is there a place on my computer where I can check to see what it is (sorry to be so dumb with my own mac)
And everything else works fine. I love Safari. It's just my mail that doesn't work. Here's the message that pop up several times.
"The MobileMe IMAP server “mail.mac.com” rejected the password for user “akcastaldo”
Please re-enter your password, or cancel."
The only problem here is, even though I enter my password it doesn't do anything. It makes that message go away for about 3-5 mins. After that it pops right back up. And I can't even go into my preference and change my email password. So I don't know what to do. -

My Z10 phone just decided to die yesterday. I can't get it to switch on. The screen is completely blank. The only sign of life is that the red light comes on for a short period of time after I connect to my PC.
However, my PC does not pick up the phone - it's as if it is just not there. I desperately need access as my calendar is on this phone. Can anyone help, please?It has for others I've helped... not all but many.
So, rather than a battery pull, the next time hold down the up and down volume key about 30 seconds. What happens?
Next time press the upper edge power button for 20-30 seconds... anything?
And next, press ALL three: Volume up and down, and the top edge power key about 20-30 seconds.. anything?
On each of these, do it while connected to the OEM wall outlet charger.
