Is it about pre-installed Numbers, Pages, Keynote etc? I assume you downloaded them before on your older mac. This sometimes causes a problem that can easily be solved: on your new macbook, delete the apps (open launchpad, click and hold until the app jiggles, click on the x and click on Delete to confirm)

Restart and install them again from the appstore
