Installed MS Office for Mac, after uninstalling test drive, still reg to TD

I installed MS Office for Mac 2004 this morning, after being very careful to uninstall the test drive version, after reading about problems it causes not to do so. I followed the instructions to uninstall, emptied the trash after, did the installation, updates, etc. But when I look at the "about" section of word, etc, it shows that the product is licensed to "Office 2004 Test Drive User". I did fill in the info on name, address, etc, and the "test version" watermarks that I was seeing on excel spreadsheets pre-installation are gone now. I have rebooted the machine. Do I need to register each application separately? Did I miss something in the uninstall?
Also, after installing the new Office, I had problems accessing the internet from accounts other than the one from which I'd done the installation. I asked about that in the internet related subforum here, thought I had it fixed, but it's been inconsistent, seems to work on-and-off in the different accounts. Did the accessing of the net during the course of the install knock something out of place?

I installed office after deleting test drive. Registration is fine. Microsoft creates a user pref folder for each user account. This will be activated with your individual pref. the first time you open one of the office programs. It will be different/reset for each user on the computer. So it is possible that different users would experience different problems connecting to the internet. I copied my users pref and library folder over from my powerbook to the imac and all of my settings seem to work just fine on the new imac.
My suggestion would be to uninstall all versions of office on your imac and then reinstall office 2004. Be sure to do this in an administrator account and to repair permissions before and after install.
Good luck!

  • How to reinstall Microsoft Office for Mac after new hard drive?

         Recently I had a problem with my Macbook Pro, and unfortunately had to purchase a new hard drive and have it installed. This also led to the loss of data and other things, such as Microsoft Office for Mac. I know this is an Apple community, but I get better answers here than at the Microsoft communities so I'm hoping someone can help find out how to reinstall Microsoft Office 2013. I logged onto my Microsft account and it says that there is no record of me purchasing Microsoft Office on that account but I know thats the account that it was purchased on, so i cannot get my product key to reinstall it as directed. Someone please help!!!!

    Try calling MS support and explaining the situation, maybe they will issue a new key.

  • After installing Mavericks, office for mac 2008 doesn't work properly

    After installing mavericks, office for mac 2008 is slow, unresponsive a lot of the time, and slows my whole mac down if i want to do other things at the same time. Is there a solution that doesn't involve spending loads of money on a newer version of office for mac?

    All Good. Are there any pending updates for MS Office by chance? Just check under the Help menu in the top Menu when you open Word.
    I highly recommend you to reinstall the latest Office 2008 update > http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36897 Note that Office 2008 is not supported by Microsoft anymore (thanks Mende1 for the link)

  • Installing Microsoft Office for Mac 2011

    I have a Macbook Pro 5.3 Boot ROM Version MBP53.00AC.B03 with SMC Version 1.48f2. The computer will not read the software for installing Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 (Home and Student). An alert blocks installing of the Firmware 1.7 Update. Mac Support said the problem is the Microsoft software. Microsoft said the problem is the Macbook Pro. Does anyone know how to resolve the problem so the Office 2011 can be installed?

    An alert blocks installing of the Firmware 1.7 Update
    Firmware updates and Office 2011 are unrelated and have nothing to do with each other.
    If the firmware won't install, then post your question in the OS X forums.

    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?

    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.

  • How to help my friend install Microsoft Office for Mac 2008

    Hello, I have a friend in North Carolina whose mom recently got a MacBook Pro running OS X Mountian Lion (10.8), he will be coming on to join this discussion after I post it. He needs Microsoft Office for his mom and I just happened to have purchase 3 licenses (two of which I have already utilized). While talking to him over a Facetime call, I walked him through the steps of getting the free office for mac 2008 package from download.com (which seemed kind of sketchy). While the download actually looked legitimate, we ran the installer and it gave some kind of weird error message that said something like "Could not be installed onto Macintosh HD because the Mac OS X is not on that parition" (I'm paraphrasing my friend will contribute the actual message). Could someone please walk us through an easier (and preferably more secure) process? We just need to get to the point where I can give him my last license key. Thanks!
    YraYra

    You will have to check with Microsoft but I think what you are doing is illegal. The 3 license pack I think means 1 user 3 computers, not 2 users 3 computers.
    You might have better luck posting on the Office for Mac forum. http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac?auth=1

  • Unable to install microsoft office for mac

    I want to download Microsoft Office for Mac v.X to my new MacBook, however, when I try to install I get an error message saying "Powerpc applications are no longer supported".  Anyway around this as I still have a user key on this software available

    No way around it.  You must upgrade to Office 2011.
    This forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to Microsoft Office in any way. I suggest you post Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products.

  • How to install microsoft office for mac 2011

    I get a message that I can't do this when I try to install
    office for 2011-
    what's going on?

    Assuming the system info at the bottom of your post is correct, MS Office for Mac 2011 requires at least OS 10.5.8 and you've still got 10.5.7. See here. There may be other incompatibilities too (check the link for more info) but your OS is a good place to start.

    I upgraded to OS 10.7.4 and now I have to re-purchase Microsoft Office for Mac?  What's up with that?

    If you use Office 2004, you need to update to Office 2008 or 2011 because 2004 isn't compatible with Lion (PowerPC). Also, you can buy iWork

    Getting a torrent is one of the only ways to get a trojan horse onto your Mac OS X, short of opening an attachment from someone you don't know.   Not many in the wild, but getting any software copyrighted by torrent is not only illegal, but also risky at getting not only trojan horses, but beta software labelled as final release software that is totally unstable.   Go to the Mac App Store, MacUpdates (do not download MacKeeper which is advertised there), or C!Net for Mac (do not download their software manager) software.  
    If you have also downloaded MacKeeper, read this tip to remove it:

  • I want to reinstall firefox for mac after uninstalling, but now whenever I download there is no corresponding file in my computer. I want firefox, help!

    I was having lots of problems with my firefox and the upgrades never worked on my mac, so I uninstalled. Now whenever I try to reinstall it through the homepage (and the more page that lists versions by language and OS--I am using Safari to download), the download "finishes" but there is absolutely NO file anywhere on my computer that represents a downloaded file. No .dmg pops up on my desktop; even when I search my computer there is virtually no file. I've tried this now about 20 times. I just want to use firefox!

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.

  • How can I install MS Office for MAC on my Mac mini?

    I don't have a USB DVD drive and don't want to buy one just for this install

    Do you have another computer with a functioning optical drive? If so you can connect the two computers via Firewire (if both have FW port) and use Target Disk Mode - Transferring files between two computers using FireWire. Otherwise, you can use your local network and File Sharing.
