Transferred MS Office files on new MacBook not working

I just had my data migrated to a new MacBook and then installed MS Office:Mac 2011 on the new computer so my transferred Office files could work. Some of them open up just fine and some open up blank or with funny lines. For Excel, some of the docs have some blank columns (but when you are in the cell, the formula bar shows the data that's in there, but it doesn't show up in the cell) and some columns with data. Some word docs have random lines but look blank.
Any ideas on what is going on? Why are some working and some not and more importantly, how can I get them all to work, short of emailing all the files or using a memory stick to get all Office docs from my old doc to the new? Does the fact that the migration occurred before the new Office program was installed have something to do with it?
Thanks!
Bernice

Sorry for double posting but I have more information.
When I use the keyboard viewer and press Z it actually shows it being pressed on screen it just doesn't appear in text box's. Also I clicked on google search (randomly to try typing) and I didn't type I just pressed the keys using the keyboard viewers and when I pressed Z on the keyboard viewer it didn't come up so it's definately nothing wrong with the hardware it has to be something wrong with the programmes or something. Also I can write Z when I hold down shift + Z but other than that I can't use the cap lock to write it.
Oh this is all very confusing please help

Transferring MS office to a new macbook pro.

I am trying to transfer MS office 2010 from an old macbook pro to a new one. on starting the apps it asks for a product key. when i enter the key from the original office 2004 disks, it does not work. Any ideas on how to get the apps to work.

Doesn't sound plausible - from 2004 to 2008 to 2011, all were 'paid' updates. There was no Office 2010 for Macs, only 2011 (which is the latest available at present).
You will need to either buy or 'rent' Office 2011 (by 'renting' I mean using Office 365 which allows you, for $99 per year, the ability to download and use Office on up to 5 devices at one time).
Good luck,
Clinton

Transferring time machine files to new Macbook Pro

Hello All - I just got a new Macbook Pro and wish to use a time machine external backup disk to transfer everything from my three-year-old Macbook to it. The old Macbook has all the latest system updates, but there is an older version of iLife on it. So I wonder if this operation would replace the new version with the old one. Also, are there any other caveats? Thanks in advance for your help. JN

No, migration will not replace an older app with a newer one. However it's best to use setup assistant to make the transfer the first time you book up the new Mac.Otherwise it may create a second Home folder. Just choose from a TM volume.

Old Macbook Died, trying to put old SSD into new Macbook, not working.

I had an old 07 model 17in Macbook pro with a 250g SSD in it. The old macbook finally died so I bought a used 2011 model 17in Macbook Pro that comes with a 500g spinning hard drive.
I would like to move the SSD from my old Macbook(complete dead) into my new Macbook, but apparently it's not as simple as remove and install. The new Macbook will not boot from my old SSD drive once I put it in. The old SSD was running Mavericks and with data on it which I would like to keep. Any suggestions?

Hello babyharpseal and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
"move the SSD from my old Macbook(complete dead)"
So you're sure that SSD is working properly? What happened to your '07? and did you keep your Mavericks Installer?
If so:
Update your 2011 to the latest version of Mavericks and place your SSD in an external and do this:
Move your data to a new Mac - Apple Support
Then insure that your internal is bootable and reinstall Mavericks on your SSD.
http://macs.about.com/od/Mavericks/ss/How-To-Perform-A-Clean-Install-Of-Os-X-Mav ericks-On-A-Macs-Startup-Drive.htm
This will be a clean install and all data will be erased.
"The OS X Mavericks Installer, available from the (Apple Store)"
No longer true.
Apple will want you to update to Yosemite but I'm currently not recommending that.

New Macbook not working properly?

Well I recentely recieved my new Mac Book about 3 weeks back now and I recentely have came to find that my z key does not work when I'm on Mac OS X. But if I run bootcamp and go on windows the "Z" key on the keyboard works, the thing is aswell when I press it on Mac OS X it makes like a beep noise and nothing happen. Can someone please help me because although the Z key isn't used alot it is still no good not having it working.

Boot from your system install DVD, run your Disk Utility and repair your permissions. if that does not work, run your system installer.

I transferred settings and files from old MacBook air to new one. New one now gives popup about failing to connect to server (old iMac). the new Mac air and old iMac have never met and are 2000 miles apart. How do I stop the popups?

Change your settings in Sharing preferences, for one, and remove the server out of the Finder's sidebar. Obviously, this is the result of transfering all your other computer's preferences to your new computer.

I am looking for Microsoft office for my new macbook pro

I am looking for Microsoft Office for my new Macbook Pro.

MS isn't selling a version through the MAS. There are rumors that they are developing a version for next year.

I am trying to change the date on an imported home video clip. I entered 9/7/2012 and got 6/9/0339! I checked modify original file, but it is not working. Any ideas?

Are you using the Adjust Date and Time option or the Batch Change option? If it's the former try the latter. If you get the same results launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import the same video file and check to see if the same problem persists.

New URLRequest not working

I have copied code from one set of files that work and pasted them into another set of files and they do not work. The site I am developing is for an artist. You choose your medium and a field of pictures appear. When you choose an image it enlarges. From there you can go to previous, next or exit. Previous and exit works, but next does not. I have no idea why.
Working:
stop();
previous_mc.buttonMode = true;
previous_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,pi)
function pi(e){
Loader(this.parent).load(new URLRequest("/fla/water/individual/graphiteWater17.swf"));
next_mc.buttonMode = true;
next_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,ni);
function ni(e){
Loader(this.parent).load(new URLRequest("/fla/water/individual/graphiteWater2.swf"));
exit_mc.buttonMode = true;
exit_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,exit);
function exit(e){
this.parent.parent.removeChild( this.parent );
Not Working:
stop();
previous_mc.buttonMode = true;
previous_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,pi)
function pi(e){
Loader(this.parent).load(new URLRequest("/fla/leaves/leavesGraphite/individual/smallleaves7SOLD.swf"));
next_mc.buttonMode = true;
next_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,ni);
function ni(e){
Loader(this.parent).load(new URLRequest("/fla/leaves/leavesGraphite/individual/smallleaves8SOLD.swf"));
exit_mc.buttonMode = true;
exit_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,exit);
function exit(e){
this.parent.parent.removeChild( this.parent );
I would also like to get rid of the long string - "/fla/leaves/leavesGraphite/individual/smallleaves8SOLD.swf" - but it will not let me. The file calling this is in "/fla/leaves/leavesGraphite/ so I would like to put "/individual/smallleaves8SOLD.swf"
I hope someone can help.
Thanks,
Richard

Are you getting error messages regarding dupicated functions? For your last wondering regarding the lengthy path, when you are loading files with Flash in a web page, the html page defines the base of operations for target files. So regardless of where your main swf is, when it is in the html page, it needs to target files it is loading as if it is in the same folder as the html file.

On the MBP, in iTunes, switch to Song view and enable the iCloud Status column by pulling down View > View options and selecting the option for "iCloud Status." Close the small window. Look for any tracks that have a status of "waiting." If you see several of them disable iTunes Match while holding down the Option key. Quit iTunes, wait a few seconds, then open it again and turn iTM back on. Let it compelete the scan. Wait until all tracks that are "waiting" have a status of either "matched" or "uploaded."
On the iPad, turn off iTunes Match then launch the Music app and let the contents clear out. Power cycle the iPad for good measure, then re-enable the service once all the tracks in iTunes have been processed.

File type associations is not working in the App-V 4.6 SP3

Hello,
I found issue, that file type associations is not working in App-V 4.6 SP3. When I try to open associated file with double click I receive next window:
Translate: This action is only valid for products that are currently installed.
I have checked associations in App-V Console and in OSD file, everything looks like OK.
Maybe someone has some ideas?
Could you please share them with me?
Thank you in advance.

Is this only happening on one client machine? If so can you completely clear the application and re-stream\cache it again?
If that fails, you could try to create the FTA locally on the client

Application "FINDER"not responding,Desktop files disappeared & " also "Trash" not working svn after relaunching several times.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process (Finder) in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.
