I'm upgrading to a new Mac Book Pro, my 'old' goes to a friend!
Hi all, I'm going to upgrade to a new Slimline Mac Book Pro, my 3 year old outgoing Mac Book Pro goes to a good friend of mine, I tried for years to make him give up Windows, finally, he took the bait.
So I ask, how is it best to prepare my old MBP before transfer of ownership.?
Is it perhaps as simple as simply format the hard drive and leaving who?. If so, how it would be able to get a copy of ElCapitan? Then would he be easy to get a free copy of Pages, Numbers and Keynote? or maybe they are included in ElCapitan? I remember that I had to pay for them, 3 or 4 years ago.
Questions, and is there a page I can point him that will help his PASSAGE from Windows to Apple to be as painless as possible, otherwise that I lost a very good friend!
Later: -.
The links below all refer them to a version PREVIOUS to Mac OS X, so I don't think they're quite accurate?

I have a new Mac Book Pro. If I buy 5 Lightroom now, can I upgrade to Lightroom 6 for free?
Nobody knows.
The usual policy of Adobe in the past, it's that if you buy a version of Lightroom and within 30 days a new version comes out, they will give you a free upgrade. The problem is Adobe never pre announcement when the new version comes out. (And of course, Adobe could announce a different strategy for Lightroom 6)
So, its up to you if buy you now or wait.

I have a new mac book pro, I need to copy my stuff from my old mac pro book
Hi all, I just splashed the money and got myself a new mac book pro, without the DVD player.
Now I would like to transfer all my stuff from my old book of mac pro, the easiest way and fastest possible.
while I was in the store to spend my money, the guy told me that I can do by connecting two computers together via Firewire/stroke of lightning and using Time Machine!
I have an adapter Firewire/Thunderbolt and a Firewire cable :-)
But I would like to have someone, somewhere to point me in the right direction so that I'm not kidding, I did it this way before, are there details step by step anywhere please, I don't can find any info anywhere else!
Thanks for looking and if you can help/advise so much better :-)

I've updated last week. After trying to export a video of LR it said I didn't have enough space (new Mac Book Pro since Oct 2015) hard disk I needed to release 20 mg of space, when I clicked ok all my files in LR 2016 disappeared. My images for 2015 are there, the few that I had, but these changes have also disappeared. I just finished editing a wedding so 625 edits is GONE! Anyone know what happened? Are they in some file somewhere?

How can I install 8 elements (on disk) on my new Mac Book Pro without disch disk?
Copy the contents of the 8 elements in a USB (from Mac that has the ability) and then copy the contents to your drive (on the new machine that is Mac book Pro) and run the installer. If this is not possible, you can download the installer directly from here.
Thank you

My old Mac Book is broken and no longer turns. A couple of years ago, I bought the Creative Suite from Apple and would like to transfer it to my new Mac Book. However, to make things more complicated I seem to have misplaced my disk. How do you propose that I transfer to my new Mac Creative Suite?
Thank you very much
Jess
You don't want to transfer even if you could. Transfer does not work in most cases. You must install using installation files. You can download these files (cannot provide a general link since you don't specify the version)...
Download and Installation Help-
https://helpx.Adobe.com/download-install.html
You will need your serial number to activate, which is normally on the disc case. If you have registered the software when you initially installed then you may be able to find it registered in your Adobe account online in the section my products.
