ITunes for Mac 7.7.1 shuts down each time I open it
Each time I open iTunes for Mac 7.7.1, iTunes shuts down. This problem has only just started occurring today on my MacBook that is running OS X (10.5.4).
At the top of the screen it says, "Accessing iTunes Store" and then the program shuts down.
The report contains a huge amount of information so I have only copied a short amount with this question:

I have attempted to relaunch 10 times but iTunes continues to fail and shuts down. Any ideas?
Thanks,

I added a proxy "PAC" file web link yesterday to access my University's intranet system within "System Preferences" and once I removed this, iTunes started working again. -
As per title above
Choose if:
MS OfficeMac - $$
If you need to keep your Office skills up to remain employable and/or exchanging some files with Windows Office users.
99% of the business world uses Office on Windows PC's. Copy protected.
If you are constantly exchanging files with Windows users, it's better to use Windows because of formatting and slight differences between the Win Office and OfficeMac versions, fonts etc. You can then choose to install Windows onto your Mac in a virtual machine program, then run Win Office in that, BootCamp or just get a Windows PC and Office.
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
iWork -$$
If you plan to remain totally in the limited 6% Mac market share environment with little file exchange options with Windows/Linux users. Copy protected.
LibreOffice - free
A donationware suite of office programs like Office that accepts Office files, cross platform (Linux, OS X and Windows) that offers maximum compatibility, only fonts and formatting could be thrown off a little between platforms. Not copy protected, open source software.
If you wish to be able to open and access dam near anything from Windows users without paying for OfficeMac, don't need 100% or near 100% compatibility with Windows Office, then this is a excellent choice.
If you ever should need to send a LibreOffice file to someone else to edit or alter, you can also send the appropriate OS copy of the installer package and it will cost them nothing to use. -
Getting M$ Outlook 2002 into M$ Office for Mac 2008 Entourage
Need to move all email, contacts, and calendar from M$ Windows platform from M$ Outlook to Mac Snow Leopard platform under M$ Office for Mac 2008 Entourage.
BACKGROUND
OK, I've made this far. I bought my first MacPro in Aug 2008 and my MacBook Pro in Oct 2008 running both on Windows XP Pro under "BootCamp" and slowly playing on the other side with OSX Leopard. In Jun 2009 I bought a new MacBook Pro and running a subordinate Windows XP Pro under Parallels .. BUT .. for the most part have been doing more and more with Snow Leopard and FCP but have yet to move my mail, contacts, and calendar to the new machine while still running Outlook Express for email and Outlook for contacts and calendar respectively. Now it's time to make the final move to Mac but for now I shall go with....
PLAN & CURRENT STATUS
M$ Office for Mac 2008 and want to run under Mac Snow Leopard. I've installed the software but need to get my material converted over to the new machine. BTW, I would love to try Mail and iCal but this is my move for now and at least it's a Mac app with some of my M$ Windows familiarity to it as Mac up scales iCal or it's replacement and then I'll go there when the time comes but for now this is a major move for me and I'm proud of myself for getting this far so quickly.
Step 1. I have imported all contacts, emails, and calendar from Outlook Express into M$ Outlook 2002 on the old MacBook Pro in Windows and am ready to move everything to the other MacBook Pro (new unibody one Jun 2009) and need the next step(s) from anyone who can help.
Step 2. ???
Thanks in advance for any who can help in this matter. I want to make the transition quickly so I can sell off last years model MacBook Pro 2.5GHz Core 2 Due 250 with 4Gb RAM.Try O2M from littlemachines.com

LibreOffice or Open Office vs Office for Mac 2011
I just bought a late 2011 MBP and I cannot use my Office for Mac 2008 software. Wondering if I am taking a gamble by downloading either LibreOffice or OpenOffice or should I just buy the office for Mac 2011. I really just need the Excel and Word compatibility. Advice from experienced users would be great!

I have been using Open Office for several years now
and had very few compatibility issues. The only serious
compatibility issue is if the MS document uses the
Visual Basic macros.
And as for as document settings changing, I have
had that happen more often than not when creating
documents with MS Office on one PC and view them
on another. And this was with the Windows version.
And that is the showstopper. -
Office for Mac 2008 crashes after Mountain Lion upgrade
I've just upgraded to Mountain Lion and now Microsoft Office for mac 2008 won't work. Every time I try and open any of the apps it produces a Microsoft error report message.
Any ideas as to why & how I might fix this, please?
Thank you!spurs_on wrote:

I think I have managed to solve the problem having explored other discussions on here. I restored to standard fonts in my Font Book and it all now seems to work. Hopefully!
Thanks for your support.

Hi,
Please take a look at this KB article, it talks about the exact issue. Try the solution there and see if it helps:

Also, you can start your Mac in safe model, this will stop those programs from loading. Then try auto-update in safe mode:

Hi,
I work on a second hand macbook pro running on 10.9 and now want office for mac on it, additionally to the sofware I already have.
On my old macbook I had office 2004 and since I still have two product codes unused was hoping these can still be used, but I tried to install it and it's just not supported anymore.
Since I don't have a lot of budget right now I hope 2008 may be possible to be installed since I can get one for only a little money (want no illegal copies), but it's a shame to get it if it turns out not to work.......I read somewhere 2008 is not supported anymore but I don't know if that necessarily means it cannot be installed.....
or do I need 2011 at least?
Or would 10.9 actually only allow the latest 2013 version to be installed?
I'd like to know before buying anything......
Right now it actually has an office 2011 version installed by the previous user but unfortunately that one was not activated and I have no way to retrieve the product code.
as i said, i like it to be legal, that's why I prefer buying the original software and the older versions can be found cheaper......
I hope someone can give me some advice!
thanks,Office 2011 is the current boxed version for the Mac. The two versions are Home and Business. The difference (besides price) is that the Business version includes Outlook. Both contain Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
Actually, the Home version also has Outlook hidden on the disk. If you decided later you want to use Outlook, you can call Microsoft for an unlock code to install it from the Home version disk. The unlock cost is essentially the difference between the Home and Business versions.
You mentioned Office 2013, but that's the current Windows version. MS hasn't really stated one way or another if there will be a feature comparable boxed Mac version. If there is, it looks like we won't see it until sometime in 2014. To get the current functionality of Office 2013 in a Mac product, you'd have to purchase the subscription based Office 365.
It does depend on your needs. Often, Office must be used for true compatibility with people you work, or collaborate with. It also has many features the free alternatives don't offer, and can't import or replicate. Otherwise, as Gary noted, Open Office is a good free choice. -
I can't burn a cd of my own created music. I either get the error 4261, or after "Checking media" the process stops and nothing further happens. Have tried different burn speeds and cds. Have re-installed iTunes.Any suggestions please?
wm0203Sounds like the CD drive died. Luckily they cost next to nothing to replace. Or get an external LaCie instead. I have a dual G4 1.25 and the CD drive was always so anemic I use a LaCie Porsche with it.

why would you say things like that here? if you are a windows one then stay there. but you are not polite or helpful and if can't use Apple i wonder why you would come here to tell all about your sad story. I don't understand that it has nothing to do with question asked.
I own, or should I say have owned, several Apple products. Including a new MBP.
I also use Windows.
I will say anything I like in an effort to help people overcome problems they are having with Mac's and computers in general.
Being a Apple Fanboy is not required for membership on this forum or trying to help other Mac users.
And just how is suggesting to remove Lion and to go back to Snow Leopard not helping the OP in his quest to make his already owned and paid for MS Office software work? If it is isn't broken stop trying to fix it. Snow Leopard is a fine OS. Lion is still in Beta, only Apple hasn't told anyone. And yes I run Lion on my new MBP but I also have a partition with Snow Leopard on it.
Thank you and have a great day. -
I'm trying to install Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. Halfway through the installation, the MacBook Air tells me that I must close Safari for the installation to continue. As far as I can tell, Safari IS closed. I can't discover any process that will close it any more than it is now. Installer won't let me shut down or re-start the computer because it (Installer) is still running.
What am I missing?The MS installer seems to think Safari is active so try the following...
Right-click on the Safari icon in the Dock and if applicable, select Quit.
or
Try Utilities > Activity Monitor and look for Safari in the Process Name column. If present, highlight Safari and then click the Quit Process icon. -
installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password. i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?
You don't use your Apple ID or its password to install anything on your Mac. You use the admin account's name and password.
Use the name and password you last entered when resetting them. The "name" you use is not the short name of the admin account folder.
For example. If you create an admin account of John Smith, the short name given to that account's folder will be johnsmith. So when an app requests an admin name and password to install something, the admin name you enter is John Smith, not johnsmith. -
I am trying to install Office for Mac and they asked my password. I dont remember, what can I do???
If you do have password setup on your computer & you get a window asking for one for an app, leave the entry blank and click the OK button or whatever button it has.
Care to share which OS you are using? -
