Can't open Office Mac 2008 programs after install

I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to SL and now I cannot open any of my OfficeMac 2008 programs (i.e. Office or Entourage) - it just shows the title window for the program and goes to 'not responding' mode. Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks - I deleted all my user fonts and got rid of some problem ones and everything is working now.

  • Can't open Offic:mac

    Can't open any of the Office:Mac features, Word, Entourage, Exel or Powerpoint. The icons jump up and down as usual then just quit. Reinstalled Office:Mac from the CD which came with my computer. it set up a new icon with all the symbols but even the newly
    installed won't open. Internet Explorer won't open but all others, Safari, Opera and Firefox work just fine. Quicktime tries to open then a message "...unexpectedly quit".
    All OS 9 features work ok. iTunes works fine and iPhoto opens and can access pictures but when I try to do a slide show it does the "...unexpectedly quit" thing.
    Finally got a message on the screen this afternoon which states: The
    application Entourage could not be launched because of a shared libraryerror."C<MicrosoftEntourage><Apple.Carbon.Multimedia><CFM Priv_QuickTime<><". <br>

    hi there--
    have you tried a safe boot to see if it works there?? boot holding the shift key until you see a spinning cog under the apple. let me know if it works there. [ 8 ) ]

  • Can't open email items from search after installing Lync 2013 client

    Hello,
    We're deploying Lync 2013 in our environment.
    At the moment we're using Office 2010 on the clients.
    For testing the deployment I've installed the Lync 2013 client.
    After installing, when I perform a search on my pc and outlook items are found, they suddenly appear with an Outlook 2013 icon.
    When doubleclicking, nothing happens, neither when I rightclick.
    I've checked the "associate a file type or protocol with a prgram", and "set your default programs" in the control panel.
    In neither of them I can find the Outlook 2013 icon, and for email, every file type is configured to open with Outlook 2010.
    Does anyone know what might be the problem. We have this problem with every user for which we install the Lync 2013 client.

    You can do the following to restore functionality:
    If you have office 2010 use the keys below, the Lync install will change them to Office15:
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{138508bc-1e03-49ea-9c8f-ea9e1d05d65d}]

  • Can't open raw images in CS2 after install, can't see thumbnails in Bridge

    I hope you guys can help.
    We just purchased an Acer laptop computer, picked it up yesterday. Hubby is going to use this strictly for working on his pictures when out of town. He didn't even plan to hook it up to the internet. It has Windows Vista Home Premium, 2G of RAM, 120G of hard drive and a CD/DVD player/recorder. I installed Photoshop CS2, Nik Sharpener, Neatimage noise remover and Huey Pro Calibrater onto the computer last night.
    When I opened Photoshop & Bridge, opened a DVD of some RAW images, Bridge would not show the thumbnails and I couldn't open any in Photoshop. In Bridge all that showed was a light blue box with CR2 over it and the file name below for each image. When I tried to open one I got a "Can not complete process due to a program error" message. I did open a jpeg image into Photoshop from the ones included in my documents and had no trouble with that. I didn't acutally try to do anything with it so I'm not sure that any of the options in Photoshop actually work, although they were all active with the jpeg image.
    Does anyone have any idea what I can do to correct these two problems?
    Thanks for any help I can get, Linda

    Thanks John,
    I actually went into Photoshop and ran the update. This gave me the current Camera Raw file 3.7 and an update for Bridge. I downloaded it and it is installed in Photoshop. This gave me thumbnails for the images taken on our Canon Rebel XTI, but not the Canon 30D. I went to the Camera Raw Update page on adobe.com. Found the 30D back in update 3.4. Shouldn't the latest update have all the previous updates included. As I understand the instructions, you are just supposed to replace the older version of Camera Raw with the newer. Will I have to install each update in order to get the support for my camera?
    This leads me to another question, I downloaded the 3.4 and was following the instructions for installing it. It says to go to My Computer, open C, or disk with files installed, then navigate to Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS-2\File Formats. My computer wasn't exactly like this, but I did get to the plug-in for Photoshop CS-2. After getting there, move existing Camera Raw.8bi to another location. Copy the Camera Raw Plug-in from the download into the same folder. See why is seems that the current version should have all previous updates?
    Anyway, got to the Plug-in file and there is no Camera Raw file in it. I went through all the files in Adobe Program Files that looked like it might have it in it; bridge, ImageReady, and shared files. No Camera Raw to be found. I did open Photoshop up and double checked that it was showing up in the Plug-in list. Yep, it was there. Why can't I find it in the Program Files?
    Sorry this is so long, I wanted to check everything I could before replying. Sure hope I can get this straightened out. Linda

  • Help!  Can't open files in all programs since installing version cue upgrade

    Please help. A few days ago I got some pop up (I'm in windows XP) saying updates were available for 2 adobe things. I just chose yes and kept working. Now, I can't open files in any of my CS3 programs. I have lost 4 days of productivity and fear losing my mind next!! after doing some research, it appears alot of people are having trouble since uploading some version cue upgrade for cs3. I followed their suggestions and unchecked VC in photoshop (my first offender) and suddenly I could open files again. But now I can't in Illustrator, but in preferences, it does not have VC checked.
    I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the whole package. I've tried just uninstalling VC. Nothing's working and I'm having major deadline problems now.
    Please, please help! Thanks.
    Anne

    You can try a system restore to a point before the update. If you're lucky, it might work, but I often find System Restore will fail when you need it the most.

  • Can't open any of my programs since installing Firefox

    Since I just installed Foxfire to get rid of Avast I can't open any of my Office 10 programs. There have been others too...some of Windows, etc. I can go into documents and open Word, Excel but don't have anything in there to open Outlook which is critical for me to be able to get in it.

    Hi Tully, Welcome to the Discussions.
    Which model do you have?
    How much RAM do you have installed?
    Does your computer see it all?
    How full is your hard drive?
    Have you ever repaired permissions?
    Any recent changes you can you think of?

  • Can't open AppStore and Email app after installing the OSX Update 10.8.3

    Hi there, after I installed the OSX 10.8.3 update I can't open my Email and App Store apps. This is the popup message that appears when i try to open those apps. I tried to reinstall the app but I can't open my App Store. I also downloaded and installed the OSX Update 10.8.3 and the 10.8.2 again from the download support page, but I couldn't solve my problem. Does anyone knows how can i fix it?

    Back up all data.
    Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.

  • HT1338 Can't access my mac os side after installing win7

    I just installed windows 7 on my new mac using boot camp. I followed all the steps but after installing win7 there is no way I can access my mac os partition. I tried to reboot with the Alt/option key pressed but I am presented with a window asking me to provide a password. When I enter my password, it won't let me in. It just delete the password. I have re-tried several times but it won't work. My question are:
    1. Is there any way I can install windows support software (for the driver) from bootcamp since I cannot access my mac side.
    2. I tried to download and install bootcamp but it doesn't work since it says I do not need to install any bootcamp update.
    3. Is there any ways I can go past the mac password screen? I really don't understand why it doesn't accept my password. I am the only administrator and user of my computer

  • Can't open Word or Quark Xrpress after installing Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    A few days ago (30th jan), I Installed Snow Leopard 10.6.3 & then it updated to 10.6.8. When I tried to open Word 10.1.0 (2002 version) it opens a blank page but doesn't allow me to save it. If I open an exisiting file Word shuts down. Ssame with Quark Xpress 6.50...

    Security Update 2012-001 Bricks Rosetta programs
    Restore method.
    #1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
    Backup files off the computer (not TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. That's all you need to do at this time, disconnect all drives now to prevent mistakes.
    #2 Try Restoring from a TimeMachine or option bootable clone
    If you have TimeMachine drive, or a hold the option key bootable clone use that to erase and restore from.
    Note: A TM restore can take a awfully long time, a clone restore takes under 2 hours in most cases.
    #3 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
    If no TM or bootable clone then:
    Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
    Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility to >Repair Disk and Permissions  (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
    Note: If Disk Repair gives a error that is not repaired, then you have to consider erasing the drive (with Zeros) and try reinstalling 10.6 fresh or replacing the drive.
    Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway)  or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
    #4 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001
    Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
    #5 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
    When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason.
    If you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall old programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

    #9 Unverified hacks
    Note: You may see a "hack" for this issue floating around, it has had mixed results as people's software is different.
    You may want to try it, but it's at your own risk. It has worked fast for some and not at all for others, hopefully over time it will work for all.
    The above methods I outline are Apple approved restore methods + based upon experience here and not a quick fix, but are sure to work as Apple recommends such steps themselves.
    https://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
    If at any time you feel this is beyond your capability, please seek local professional assistance before you lose your data.
    If you don't have any backup, please maintain at least a TM drive, just hook up a new blank external drive and TM will ask you to make a backup, takes some time so let it work.
    If your a bit more skilled, a option bootable clone is much superior than TM drive.
    Good luck

  • How can I improve my Mac's speed after installing Leopard on a G5 PowerMac?

    Hello everyone,
    I have a 1.8 G hz PowerMac G5 (late 2004) - single processor. I recently installed Leopard 10.5.4 and now it's performance is VERY slow, including the Internet. Launching any application takes 4 times longer at least, and the speed at which tasks are performed and/or saved are extremely slow too.  I want to know if this can be corrected. If there is anything I can do to improve performance, short of buying more RAM? But if the answer is RAM, wil THAT improve the internet speed? It was pretty fast before.

    More RAM & bigger faster Hard Drive will help, maybe a better Graphics card also, since 10.5 ises the Video much harder.

    I ordered the full creative cloud on sunday and received an order number but still can't open any of the programs. When i check the status of my order online, it says it can't find it. Is this normal after 3 days? I tried asking in a chat window instead of the forum but no one answered and after about ten minutes my screen restarted and closed the chat window down. It seems a little frustrating not knowing what happened to my order and not being able to contact anyone. Is all this usual with Adobe or are they just having technical problems this week?
