Am I able to use Microsoft Office when i switch users on my Macbook Air? I can find the applications, Excel Word etc, but when I try to open them it keeps taking me to a software update for Microsoft Office. Any tips on what to do???

I use 2 accounts, one for work and one for personal.
I have Microsoft Office, in my applications, and I can find it in my work user account, but when I try to open it, it keeps doing start up for Auto updates. and wont open the application. It works fine in my personal (Admin) account which is where I did migration when I bought the laptop. And I've looked on here for similar problems, and everyone says if it's in your applications it should work, but I can't open mine.
Anyone know what I can do?

Go to the main Library folder and look for a folder called Application Support / Microsoft.
There are a few folders in there, and you may have to do some digging. In one of them (mine is called MAU2.0), there should be a file called Microsoft Autoupdate. Open it.
It looks like this:
check the button for manual updates.
That should let you open the apps without triggering an automatic update.

    Hello there stidhambr15,
    I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.

    Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

  • TS2529 I recently got a new iphone and some of my apps don't work anymore. When I try to open them they either crash immediately or my phone asks for my iTunes Store password and then the app crashes. Any ideas? Help!

    I've tried to uninstall and reinstall the app but nothing happens. When I try to open the app, it either crashes immediately or asks me for my iTunes password and the the app does nothing or crashes. Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions? Also, it seems that my phone asks me for my iTunes password randomly, when I'm not trying to open apps.
    The app that I have the most problem with is the Simpsons game. I've tried to contact EA as well as apple and gotten nowhere.
    Please help if you have knowledge of what to do
    Thanks!

  • I am still not able to use itunes match or cloud between my ipad and macbook air

    I wonder if the problem of not beig alble to use itunes match between my ipad and my Macbook air is because i have the two set up on different email addresses so that I can use facetime between the two devices,if so how do I remedy that? I also have two seperate Apple itunes accounts for the two,would they both have to be on the same account?

    Yes,  I am connected to the internet.  I am getting my mobile me account email but nothing from my exchange server account, however when I try to reply to a message it gets stuck in my outbox.   When I click on Get Mail and send nothing happens.  Usually I see the spinning wheel  but nothing now.   There are several messages in my out box from both the exchange and mobile me accounts.  Thanks 

  • When i switch users internet becomes unresponsive, also started to hear the fan when just using normally

    Hi
    Had my macbook pro for nearly 9 months now and noticed a couple of odd things.
    1) When i switch from one user to another and i try to go onto the internet i get a page is unresponsive message.
    2) I've started to hear the fan when the computer is just doing normal activities like surfing the net etc
    I have googled and cant find anything similer, any ideas?

    4,000 RPM for idle load seems excessive, 2,000 is usually the norm.
    There could be various reasons for this:
    1: Dead sensor or fan, the other is compensating. - #3 Hardware Test needed.
    2: Need a SMC reset - #1 SMC Reset.
    3: You installed something that has a background process and hogging CPU cycles.
    Open Activity Monitor > All Processes and click on the CPU to sort the highest to the top and see if something unusual is hogging cycles.
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Other possible reasons:
    5: You have done something to place excessive and sudden demand on the processors at one time, thus the software is trying to anticipate that and pre-emypt your behavior and run the fans at a higher speeds in advance.
    6: Your machine is in a excessively hot environment
    7: Your machine is in a excessively dusty or animal environment and the exhaust ports are clogged with animal hair/lint., will require cleaning by Apple if still under AppleCare/warranty.
    8: There is malware on your machine, or your third party software is no functioning correctly leaving processes running.
    9: OS X needs to be reinstall on the machine. #8 Reinstall Just OS X
    10: You have a corrupted cache file. #12 OnyX cache cleaning routine.
    11: You have a 13" MBP and have been trying to 3D game on it, didn't wait for it to cool down.

  • When I use the search I can find the bookmarks i've saved, but not in which folder among my many they are

    So I have tons of bookmark folders with tons of pages in each folder now at random times (do to unintended myself actions or whatever) i lose a folder that was in a specific hiearchy of other folder. I do a search for a site i know was in that folder it shows me all the sites in that folder but not where the heck that folder is in my heirarchy.
    when it's big it's a pain to look for it and when i do even 4 times over still cant find them

    There is an extension you can install which adds a "Parent Folder" column in the Library dialog (Ctrl+Shift+b). It has an option to show the full path instead of just the parent folder.

  • I downloaded a new album and can see the photos in it.  But when I try to email one of them as an attachment, my latest downloaded album is nowhere to be found.

    Right after I download pictures into a new album and can go to that album and see the photos, why don't they show up when I try to attach photos from that album to an email?  This has happened twice before and after a week or more they finally show up as a source for an attachment to email.

    Try restarting the computer

  • Will I loose apps (excel, word,etc...)when I delete the orig admin. on a used Mac pro

    I purchased a used mac book pro late 2009 model and wanted to know if I will delete the applications(excel,word,etc...) if and when I delete the original administrator.  I was able to create a new administrator ID, so I want to delete the previous admin.   Also what else would you reccommend  in setting up the Mac book to get the old owner info off the system, is there a way/ how do i change the system password, etc...? Obviously I am new to macs, any and all info would be great!  Thanks for the help!!!

    Did the seller give you the License keys and the DVD disc, or discs, to re-install and re-activate those MS Office programs? If not then you should delete them as they are not yours and he sold you pirated software.
    Also if that 2009 Mac came with Mac OS X Lion installed when you got it that is another piece of pirated software and you will have no way of Reinstalling that version of OS X without the sellers Apple ID and Password.
    Also did he supply the Original System Discs, which there should be 2, with the system? If not you will need to contact Apple and get a Set of Replacement Discs for that system for a fee of around $40. Then wipe the drive, reinstall the version of OS X that originally came with that system. Then get whatever discs or downloads are needed to upgrade that system to Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then buy Lion or Mt Lion from the Mac App store using your own Apple ID.
    Or you could just return it to the person that sold it to you and get your money back.

  • Real newbie-I can hear my loops in my library, but when I drag them to a track, there is no audio.  What am I doing wrong?

    Real newbie question-I can hear the loops in my library, but when I drag them to a track, there is no audio when I playback or record.  What am I doing wrong?

    You probably put Midi loops (green) on audio tracks, and audio loops (blue) on Midi tracks.
    That won´t play.
