I already own Office Mac 2008 but I want to transfer it to my new retina macbook pro. Can that be done? Is it compatible with the 2013 Pro?

It is compatible, but I highly suggest you upgrade your Office suite as well. It's well worth it.

I bought mine too in 2013 macbook pro 13, the thing you need to look is the model number below your mac should read 'Model No. A1278'.

I do not know for sure and I am not a computer wizard. However, this is a similar to the age of my IMac and it works just fine. It might depend upon what software version you have updated to. For $20 you could try it (buy the router) and if it does not work upgrade to newer software. ON this issue, I had to leapfrog about 3 or 4 software versions not long ago. I went to the Apple store and they said I had to add additional memory. They helped me order it online and instructed me on how to install it on the front of the computer. It was very easy to do. I then returned to the store, memory upgraded, and they assisted in upgrading the software to Mavericks (which is one short of the latest I believe). They also did not charge me but I did have to pay for the newer version of Office in order to get Word and Power Point. I don't know if this information is helpful but our computers are of similar vintage and it worked just fine for me. Good Luck!! This is the best $20 bucks I ever spent on computer gear.

I have an iMac with OS X 10.6.8. I have had NO issue with this Microsoft Office 2008 version.

yes you can. I currently have a windows 7 laptop, new macbook pro and my desktop is a running windows 8. works with all units.

Since the MacBook Pro Retina does not have a built in optical disk drive, you would need to: a) Use an external Optical drive b) Make a disk image of the installer on another computer and then copy that image to the rMBP c) Make use of Apple's Remote Disk See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287 Also, it's my understanding that Logic 9's graphics will look a bit soft or fuzzy on the retina display. Other than that it should work, but for $199 (if that is in your budget) you might be happier in the long run if you got Logic Pro X from the Apple Store. Then you could sell the Logic 9 package for someone who still uses a slightly older Mac to help compensate for the cost of Logic X. If you absolutely don't want to or just can't spend the extra $, then you should be able to record, mix, etc. with Logic 9 if you don't mind that the graphics will look a bit fuzzy compared with the hyper crisp images you will see on the web and other applications on your Retina display. Hope this helps.

Yes, I transfer documents I write on my Neo to my MacBook without any problem. I can then edit them, save them, etc. on the MacBook.

I've had no problem transferring with mac USB port. Just follow instructions, must save as a file in documents and open as attachment.

Not sure on this, but you can try their customer support site, they are really good about answering questions. I believe they are compatible from hearsay, but have not done it personally. I do know you'll have to install Scrivener for Mac on your new machine, but the files should go over easy.

I just contacted Apple after installing Lion and finding out-to my dismay-that Office 2004 & earlier aren't supported (PowerPC based). The reviews of Office 2011 don't look like that version is stable. So, if I buy 2008, I actually have to uninstall Lion and re-install Snow Leopard? Apple's solution was to buy the upgrade of office or reinstall Snow Leopard-which they said was "very difficult". This is absolutely unacceptable! When I asked whether it was an oversight or intentional that PowerPC wasn't supported by Lion, I got "I don't know, I don't have communication with the developers". Pages won't open office documents either. So...given the choices, I am extraordinarily disappointed with Apple on this one and hope they will come up with a solution, upgrade or patch that works. In the meantime, Try downloading Neo Office for free. It works with Lion even though it is a very basic word processing system. Anybody at Apple listening?

Please, know that I am no expert in this issue, but, as I watched a lot of videos to learn how to change my HD at mi iMac, I'd like to say yes. But it depends on the model and mainly how old your unit is. Go to YouTube and search a little. Use your macpro number and model and see. If the your macbookpro is new or close to it, it has to work. Best of luck!

I believe I asked the same question when I upgraded, and I was told by Apple that, yes, it is compatible. However, I've not really used the programs since I upgraded. If you're on a MAC, I suggest you call Apple. I don't know who you'd call on a PC.

The machine is old, but if your MacBook runs Word, then you can probably transfer the document to it. I have always been a PC user and that is what is used in my district.

Yep! I used it with my 2011 Macbook Pro and now my late 2013 Macbook Pro with no problems. I've also used the non-travel version with my iMac at work and had no problems.

I do not have a MacBook Pro so I do not know the answer. I do know the Business software did not work on my PC. I could not download my information from last year. Description read that H&R Block software would easily import from Turbo Tax and Quicken software, however later I was told that was not true with the Business Program.

Yes. I was able to transfer all of my documents automatically and edit and see them on the MAC. Word, excel, etc.
