Reinstalling my Iwork 08 to another mac

Hi all,
I bought an Iwork 08 disc and registered it on my desktop, but now I'm having problems installing it to another mac. Do you know if we could only use it once? It seems that when I try to install it's requesting the serial #, but when I enter the numbers it still doesn't proceed w/ installation.
Any suggestions???
Thanks in advance.

Hello
Jason is right when he write: "its one disk, one computer".
This is the rule.
But as far as I know, nothing disable the install process if some one violate the rule and install the app on an other machine. From my point of vue it's a good thing.
If something run oddly on one machine, it may be useful to install temporarily a clean system and a clean app on an other one to check that in standard config all works well.
Same scheme installing Leopard on the other machine to test applications compatibility before installing the new system on the main machine.
Of course, after that, the rule is *keep only one copy installed*.
Apple lawyers are not fools, they will not led you to jail for such process.

How do i install iWork '09 on another mac when it came pre-installed?

I recently purchase a Macbook Air and had iWork pre-installed. I bought the family license so now want to add iWork '09 to my other mac, but it requires a serial number. Since i received no disk or anything, i assumed that i just download the trial version then use the same serial as the pre-installed version - but i can't find the serial anywhere??
Any ideas?

You should have received an iWork booklet with some stickers on the cover that list your serial number with your machine's original documentation.

Hello guys, so help me, if i will buy a final cut pro from appstore, will i have a .dmg or other type of file, for reinstall it in another mac?

No. You simply sign in to the App Store and download it again. AppStore knows that you already paid for it.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Lion uses Recovery to reinstall OS X. Press Command and R keys when your Mac starts, open Disk Utility, erase the drive and reinstall Lion. The other Mac has probably got its hard disk damaged, so take the Mac to an Apple Store

How do I back up files and reinstall original disks on my Power Mac G-4 (2000)

How do I back up files and reinstall original disks on my Power Mac G-4 (yr. 2000). I know that sounds basic but I have very few techno skills. So please "talk down" to me. I had a newer PC (2005) but the hard drive crashed and I am trying to resuscitate this old mac until I can afford to buy a new one. I am in the middle of writing a book (based on Steve Job's life) and must have SOMETHING to write with. Anyone have a better one they can loan me? I am in Maine on the coast. BTW this machine seems to have trouble reading or formatting most CD-disks. Can anyone recommend a type and brand that works well with this model? Thanks for any assistance anyone can render. Here is what I have:
Machine Name:          Power Mac G4
Machine Model:          PowerMac3,4
CPU Type:          PowerPC G4 (2.9)
Number Of CPUs:          1
CPU Speed:          467 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU):          1 MB
Memory:          768 MB
Bus Speed:          133 MHz
Boot ROM Version:          4.2.8f1

Why do you want to reformat the drive? Is it because the machine is running slow?
Be sure to backup you important files, like the book, daily.
The cheapest approach would be to try to figure out why the machine is running slow. Be sure to try safe boot.
You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
1) Check the amount of free space on your harddrive. You should have a several gigs free.
2) You should run disk utility
      Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
      a) verify the disk
      b) update your permissions.
3) Try a safe boot.
     Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Wait awhile; wait awhile while you harddrive
     is being checked.
     http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
4) Another way to correct filesystem problems is into single use mode.
     This page will tell you how to get into single user mode.
     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492
    Basically, you hold down the command + s key then powering on your machine. The command key
    has a little apple symbol on the lower left. It is between the alt/option key and the space bar.
4) You may want to run applejack to clean up your machine.
      http://applejack.sourceforge.net/
6) Run hardware diagnostics. It's good for a sanity check.

Here are two utilities for making a complete backup of your internal hard drive. I've recommend using one of these so that you can create a bootable system on your external hard drive. ( PPC require a firewire connected drive. ) Once created, you can run your system from the external drive. Hold down the option key on your keyboard then power on your machine. This will bring you in startup manager click on the drive image you wish to boot then click on the arrow key to the right.

I'm trying to clone a internal hard drive from another mac using a usb connection.

I'm trying to clone a internal hard drive from another mac using a usb connection to an external drive so that I don't lose the file before reinstalling the software but I keep on getting a message:
"Restore Failure
Source volume is read-write and cannot be unmounted, so it can't be block copied."
Any advice on how to make a copy of this internal drive?
Thanks!
....also the internal hard drive i am trying to copying run on a mac os x 10.5 and i'm reinstalling the software because the computer is not starting and only shows a grey folder with a question marks inside.

I've had my Maxtor external OneTouch 250GB for about 18 months now and it hasn't skipped a beat. I have hear of people having their Maxtor drive just up and die but you will probably find that goes for all manufacturers.
By the way, Maxtor is, amongst others, an OEM supplier to Apple.

I need to reinstall acrobat 9 after having my mac hard drive wiped. I have the serial number but there isn't a download link on the adobe website

well PhillyPhan, I can't tell that you're better looking just by your iphoto icon, now can I? Although it is a lovely sunset you've got there.
Thanks for your response to my question, I see your point and will do that, however, I have another folder that was created before I had a Mac, which has all sorts of lovely titles and labels and some of those pictures I brought over to my ibook when I first started. So there are some duplicates in my iphoto library that I already have backed up in that other folder. I guess I shouldn't really obsess about those. I guess I am just nervous about deleting all my prior iphoto library, but I should have faith that it will all be there in my pictures library. Just trying to clean up the virtual mess.
I'll hold my breath and take the plunge.
Thanks!

I'm having this issue as well only with a little different twist I guess. I'm transferring the iWorks applications from my Macbook Pro 3,1 with Lion to a new MBP 10,1 running Mountain Lion. I transferred the apps over using DropCopy since the older MBP doesn't have AirPlay. Applications show up but crash upon opening. This is the first install so there are no previous plist, versions or such to delete. All three crashed upon opening every time until I just had to have Keynote and purchased again - although Apple agreed to refund that purchase since my previous version quit working. Any ideas since I don't have any previous plist/versions to delete? Thanks in adavnce for any help you can offer.

USB install from another mac?

Hi, quick one if I may, I am looking to reinstall snow leopard on a new hard drive so my question is can I copy the necessary files from a friends Mac mini onto USB and boot from there? Obviously I'm not going to do this if it's illegal or whatever, thanks in advance

If you own a retail DVD installer for Snow Leopard 10.6, but do not have an optical drive in your computer, or the internal one has failed, it is possible to use another computer's optical drive to install OS X into a Mac.
{A copy from another Mac would not be correct or legal, also it likely won't work directly as the Installer puts correct parts into the machine it was installed into, such as hardware drivers, etc. And the disc is a license for one Mac to run it at a time.}
Under this circumstance, there are a few methods of using another Mac to perform this task; one is Target Disk Mode, if both Macs have FireWire &/or Thunderbolt ports and correct cables. Another is to use a utility in the Mac by the name of 'remote install Mac OS X' in the Utilities folder. There may be other similar means, depending on the version of computer and OS X your system(s) are running.
If only parts of the system are damaged or missing, you could use Pacifist utility from charlessoft company to extract the parts you need from a system disc, and it will install them from the desktop of the computer that needs them. The utility is a download and has a demo mode that should work adequately for this task.
You should own the retail DVD 10.6 Snow Leopard, if you have a computer that runs it. The disc (as needed) is proof of the License to use the software. With later computers, the Apple ID and the mac/app store has a record of your activity in regard to permissions of use and end user license.
Sorry to not be of much help.
I have antiques & most DVD media for each system.
And a few clones on external hard disk drives.
PS: Not sure about the copy to USB recovery idea; later Lion 10.7 and Mt Lion
had this, I'd seen info about it online. A cloned system, if your computer had one
could be used to extract or copy parts from. Some don't like drag/drop install.
Good luck & happy computing!

Mac Mini will not boot OS, can I get to files with another Mac?

My mac mini will not boot the OS proserly, it goes to a screen that tells me that some root folder can not be found.
The install CD works and I can boot to it. The disk utility reports no problems, all disk repairs done and OK.
The computer still will not boot to the OS.
How can I get the files I need off the drive before I reinstall the OS?
I have other Macs and fire wire cables, cross over cables, regular eithernet cables. What can I do?
Thanks!

Connect it to another Mac with a FireWire cable and start it up with the T key held down.

How to transfer iWork's from old mac to new mac

Purchase iWork's with first iMac now replacing with new iMac and want to transfer iWork's to new computer

If you use Time Machine on the old Mac simply connect it to the new machine, when you start the new one for the first time that launches Setup Assistant. It will ask if you are migrating from another Mac, select yes, select the TM drive as the source and let it fly!

How do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

how do you open a Numbers file sent from another Mac user with same operating system, i get a pop up that says I'm missing an index.hml file??? HELP PLEASE

The operating system may be the same but the Numbers applications are likely different. You need to get the apps in sync. Unfortunately, the Numbers (and Pages as well) saga is pretty confusing (and frustrating). Here's some info from the iWork resident version expert (PeterBreis0807):
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs.

Networking with another Mac - FTP?

O.k. I don't know much about networking our 2 computers. Just enough to be able to work. I sometimes mount one of the two hardrives on the other computer to work on docs, etc. usually it works. In Finder, I choose Network in the Go menu, click on the other computer and log in.
Latelythough when I do this, it doesn't give me a chance to log-in and automatically mounts only the desktop of the other computer and I can't access the hard drives. One time I got a message about it being an FTP server (the other MAC)? It did this once before I and fiddled my way out of it by tinkering with the machines.
This time, I can't seem to tinker my way back into getting them to work.
Can anyone help me know what is going on or what to check?
Thanks in advance.

How do i use my time capsule to back up another mac?

How do I set up my time capsule to back up another mac computer?

If you have one Mac backing up already.. you can just use another.. TM is perfectly happy working with several computer on the same TC.. it will create a sparsebundle for its files.. it is a sort of virtual disk.
There is nothing you need do except make sure there is enough space.
