UPGRADING FROM OFFICE 2008 TO 2011 ON NEW COMPUTER

I have Microsoft Office 2008 (12.1.0) running on my PowerPC G5. I just purchased an iMAC Intel Core i7. I want to get Microsoft Office working in it. How can I do this without have to re-purchase at the full price? Is there any way to put in the 2008
product ID and then upgrade?

I just upgraded from my 2008 MacBook to a new Macbook Pro. How do I get my time capsule to work on my new MacBook? I did data migration, but the time capsule did not pick it up. Any ideas?

If you migrated all the info from time machine to your new MBP. The TM will usually ask to connect to the old backups.. sorry I am not sure is this what you want to do.. Personally I think you start a fresh backup.
BTW Time Capsule does not do anything.. it is a dumb hard disk in a box.. it is TM that does everything.
Look at B5 and B6 here about connecting to your backup.

Upgrading from Office for Mac 2011 Home & Student to Home & Business

I just switched from PC to Mac and bought my first Macbook Pro. I also bought, from Apple, Office for Mac 2011 Home & Student version without realizing that it didn't have outlook. I am going to upgrade to the Home & Business version to get outlook. Should I completely uninstall teh Home & Student version before upgrading?

Contact Microsoft it's their product.

Upgrading from CS3 to CS5 on a new computer?

I've got CS3 installed on my desktop and laptop and am wanting to upgrade to CS5, but I'm also purchasing a new computer soon. Can I upgrade on my new computer or do I have to buy the entire software program again?

If you have the installation media for CS5 available you can install it on your new computer.

On Upgrade (from Office 2010) don't create new .ost file

Hi there, hope someone can help me.
Here is my Problem:
I'm runninng Office 2010 (32Bit Version) on Windows 7 Enterprise x64. I've started Office 2010 with Exchange CacheMode activated. The ost-file is located under D:\Data\outlook\%username%
Now I'm testing Migration to Outlook 2013.
I'm using OAT to do the following things (regarding only Outlook):
- Uninstall of Office 2010
- Install of Office 2013 with using old settings
-Features: Configuring "Do not create new ost file during Migration" (we have many subsidiaries with low performance connections - so the old ost should be used after migration)
Outlook-Profile: Tried all 3 methods (use existing profile | change profile | new Profile)
At all my tests Outlook creates a new .ost-file under standard directory and don't use the existing ost-file under D:\Data\%Username%
After These tests i tried it with gpo "donotcreatenewostonupgrade" - But in this case also a new ost is created.
In all cases i have 2 Outlook profiles: "Outlook" (with new ost) and "Backup of Outlook" (with old ost)
By Setting ForceOSTPath to D:\Data\outlook\%username"
and Donotcreatnewostonupgrade to 1
i get two .ost's under D:\Data\outlook\%username" - "outlook.ost" and "Outlook data file.ost"and two mailprofiles "BACKUP OF Outlook" and "Outlook"
So ForceOSTPath is getting used, but Donotcreatnewostonupgrade not *confusing*
Can someone cann tell me a solution for this problem?
Best regards
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
What OAT tool are you using? Is it the Office Customization Tool?
Where did you get the "Do not create new ost file during Migration" option in the tool? As far as I know, OST file cannot be migrated. If you were able to use the old OST file, Outlook will prompt that it
doesn't match the server mailbox.
The ForceOSTPath applies only to new profile, it can't be used to force Outlook to use the old OST file.

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
programs.

Upgrade from Windows Home Server 2011

Even though Windows Server 2012 Essentials is being mentioned as a replacement for Windows Home Server 2011, there doesn't seem to be any documentation or mention of can you upgrade from Windows Home Server 2011 to Windows Server 2012 Essentials?
Will this work with the beta download and will we then be able to upgrade this version to the RC and/or release version?
As you may guess I have a Windows Home Server 2011 and am interested in looking at Windows Server 2012 Essentials to see what it offers me. The storage spaces sounds exactly what I want to replace the drive extender on the previous home server version. The
problem is that I don't mind sacrificing my present server box by installing the beta but it would be nice if it actually retained what settings it could via an upgrade option, which I could then have a chance of using with a proper release version.

Just clarifying about the 'upgrade path' and 32b vs 64b.
Yes, no in-place upgrade. However, one could theorise about some form of 'migration' being possible, where the list of users, the content of your shares, the current backups, would be 'moved' from old box to new.
I was in fact pretty sure no such process existed. (Wouldn't it be neat though? AND in future _at least theoretically_ possible, using processes similar to SBS AD migration.)
From this perspective putting the new box onto the network is similar to replacing WHSv1 with WHS11, in that nothing is carried over. No gain, but no lesser. Working on currently available information.
The later comment about the work laptop is, TTBOMK, a resounding 'NO'. When attempting to join a member of another AD the 'connect' process stated 'You must 1st remove the PC from the other AD'. I haven't tested this extensively but believe that PC's _capable_
of operating in an AD (Pro, vs Home, versions) will be made members of the WS12E AD. It is only PC's that do not have 'domain join' capability that are left in workgroup mode.
TTBOMK, AFAICS, so far, etc...

Upgrading from Office 2010 to 365

Upgrading from Office 2010 Pro to 365 Pro Plus - I know you must uninstall 2010 and install 365 or can run them concurrently. Question is - if you uninstall 2010 and install 365, what settings are lost and what settings are retained? Outlook signatures? Word
and Excel settings and preferences?
Also must the OST files be re-downloaded again? I hear there's a 40% compression improvement so this might be ideal, just want to know if the GPO to not re-download the OSTs actually works in this scenario?

Hi,
Uninstall Office 2010 will not remove any user settings, the user settings will migrate upon the first use of each Office 2013 application.
By default, when Outlook 2013 is installed, a new compressed version of the Outlook data file (.ost) is created. This new compressed version of the .ost is up to 40% smaller than the size of the .ost files that were created in earlier versions of Outlook.
So it is recommended to use the new .ost file.
The "Do not create new OST file on upgrade" policy also works for Outlook 2013, however you might need to download the new Outlook Group Policy template (Outlk15.admx). Outlook 2010 template should not work in this scenario.

A.B.

I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides screen is ok. Is there a way around it? :(

I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides the screen is completely fine-the screen will not recognize my finger anymore. I am not trying to fix the phone, but I need to have my contacts. The pictures have already synced, but I need my password to do a full backup. Unfortunately, I can't type in my password. Is there any way around it? If I take my phone to the apple store, will they be able to help me? I am not willing to replace the screen just to do this, however, so that is out of the question.

Someone else may have a workaround, but, as far as I know, if you cannot interact with the screen on the iPhone, there is no way to unlock it so you can get to your contacts.
Were you saving them to iCloud by chance? If so, you can restore them to your new phone.

Call Apple and make a appointment.
You have 3 months of care and up to 3 years with paid AppleCare, let them handle it and bring everything in.
Good Luck

Will a FCP 3.0.4 upgrade from FCP 1 load onto a new Mac Pro

Will a FCP 3.0.4 upgrade from FCP 1 load onto a new Mac Pro. I have tried loading in onto a mac book with no luck. I think its because my original FCP 1 loades using OS9 and because the new Mac Pro does not have an old operating system on it I cant load my original FCP.

You should upgrade to FCP 5.1 or 6 as Jerry says.
However, if you are desperate you could try this :-
Install just your FCP 3 upgrade and also put in your FCP 1 serial number when asked.
Whenever you try to open FCP you will probably get an error message. Click the "esc" key and FCP should open.

With my Lion OS, if I upgrade to Office for Mac 2011, it will not work?

LIke the title says, with Lion OS, even if I upgrade to Office for Mac 2011, I will still be unable to use word docs. The reason it bothers me so much is that I need both my mac.com email and the ability to send Wrod docs to my publisher. I feel stumped.

even if I upgrade to Office for Mac 2011
That implies you haven't upgraded yet. Yes?
I will still be unable to use word docs.
Why would you presume that? You'll be able to open and create any Word documents.

Install disk drive from old computer in an external enclosure.
Then copy the complete iTunes library from the disk drive to the disk drive in the new computer.
