There are no specific updates for Lion or Mountain Lion. The Office updates are for all OS's.
Go here: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads
Then, click on the version of Office that you have. It will list the updates that are available.
Also click on Additional Tools. Download and install the update for Auto Updater.
Note that Microsoft's updates for Office are usually not cumulative, so you must install them all in order.
The Auto Update app will find the ones you need and install them.
From any Office App, go to the Help menu and select "Check for Updates." It will open the AutoUpdater.
The current version is in /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0 -
My company uses SalesForce CRM and recently changed wholesale to Macs. Unfortunately, certain functions in SalesForce are not compatible with the current version of Safari or any version of FireFox newer than 3.0 and we need to be able to use those functions. How can I download that version for the Mac?
There is also a portable Firefox 3.0 version via this link:

It can take some time before the download starts. -
How can I recover my OS X?
Ring the online Store at the number given at bottom left of this page: it may still be possible to get the install disks for your Mac at a nominal cost. You will need to give them the serial number of your Mac.
If you can't get it that way, you can still purchase the retail version in the online Store - go to its webpage for your country and enter 'Snow Leopard' in the search box at top right. -
I have an imac with OS X 10.5.8 and I want to update my iphone which needs the new itunes however I cannot update my itunes until I update my operating system. What are my options?
Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, it's already running the newest OS it can.
If it's an Intel Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update. Mac OS X 10.6 also requires at least 1GB of RAM.

I started up my macbook pro 2 years ago using someone else's apple id. I just recently updated my software to OS X Yosemite and now I can't open iPhoto & iMovie. It says I have to download the latest version. How can I download it using my own apple id without having to purchase it?
Go to the Mac App Store main page, choose Support under Quick Links, contact Apple, and see what they say.

Can't update apps and does not show that I can update the iPad?
When I try to update apps it says that I need to update to iOS 6 or later. When I try to update it says that iOS 5.1.1 . How do I get the iOS updates I need so that I can update my apps?
If you have the iPad 1 the highest iOS level it can be updated to is iOS 5.1.1. If App updates require iOS 6 or higher you will not be able to get them.

I have an iPhone 4 with IOS 4.2.6. I recently received an iPad with IOS5.1.1. I want to update my IOS on my phone but the computer I use is no longer hooked up to the Internet. What do I need to do? Also, does my iTunes need to be updated? It is whatever was available last July. Thank you for your time and courtesy!
To update your phone requires using the latest version of iTunes, on your computer, as well as Internet access. The update to iOS 5.0 or higher is an erase/restore deal, so you not only have to make sure all of the content, currently on your phone, is on your computer and accessible, you need to update iTunes first, have Internet access, then update your phone. There is no way around this fact. You could go to an Apple store or use another computer, but you run the risk of losing all of your data it you do that.

I can't update becuase my mac says this, This software requires Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later. any ways to update my iTunes?
You need to call 1 800 My APPLE and ask for Snow Leopord disk.
The cost is $29 I believe.
all iOS 6 OS and hardware announced (iphone5, new nanos, etc) require at least 10.7 version of itunes.
iTunes 10.7 requires OS 10.6.8 -
I need the Adobe Flash Player version 11.1.102.64plug in on my MacAir to view Ustream videos. Adobe message says the version is for Intel-based Macs with Safari; also says that I "may have to temporarily disable antivirus software. is it safe to download?
Your MacBook Air is an Intel-based system. To download the current version (11.2.202.228), go to http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ and download it from there.
If there is still a Flash issue, you can try the Google Chrome browser, which has the current Flash built into it, to see if it works any differently with the videos. It's available from https://www.google.com/chrome -
Hi, I need a video editing software for my Power Mac G5 system. Hunted all over for one! Can anyone help me and point me in the right direction. Everything I come across is for intel based systems. Many thanks in advance.
I have Final Cut Studio V1 - the PPC/Intel V5/5.1 cross-grade version, which would suit your requirements perfectly. (I have it for sale at present down here).
If you keep looking, you're sure to find a similar second hand copy in your area, without the need to upgrade your graphics card.
I'd go for Final Cut Pro as above over any version of Express. FCP has the full version of LiveType - not the truncated version that was released later on. -
I made an error asking to receive Windows product of Adobe Element 13 and Premiere while I needed the Mac Version. How is it possible to correct this error ? and what do I have to do if you accept ?
Normally an Elements license is valid for both Windows and Mac systems. So you might only need to download the Mac versions of the applications and use your serial number to activate them.
