Microsoft Office - Constant Update Problem | NEED HELP

Okay, so here is my problem -
The website i have needs to be updated regulary by many different people and i know contribute can solve this.
as the people who are updating this have no Web Experience, i thought using the Office Plug-in would help.
Can each person be assigned a Microsoft Word Document and whenever they type new content and click publish, will the website automatically update with this new content ? or does it have to be re added into contribute every time ?

You can use the Office plugins to publish the office Documents directly to your website. When you have an earlier version of the same file in the website, Contribute pops up a dialog saying to Replace the existing version or create a new file with _00 at the end of the file name.

SharePoint Foundation 2013 - March 2014 Update Issue - Need help

We've just applied the SharePoint Foundation 2013 March 2014 Update, it always requires that we run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard at the end of install, but this time it's getting stuck at step 9 of 10 (the profile sync service cannot be
started even as admin). Is anyone else having any issues with this update? Has anyone else applied it yet? Is anyone else planning to apply it?
If anyone can help with advice on this I'd appreciate it.

Hi,
We can still access CA but sync will not start. Tried rebooting after the failed configuration and tried to run it again but it didn't work.

Mac is extremely slow after yosemite update, really need help. (Etrecheck inside).

After recently installing yosemite my mac been painfully unresponsive and slow. I cannot boot up in normal mode, i'm currently in safe mode.
What I have tried so far and what I know:
Initially thought filevault was the issue, I disabled encryption and now it says "decryption is paused" and hasn't resumed in days. Potentially is the issue.
I run a hardware diagnostic test using the hardware check within the macbook pro (booting up holding D) and the mac didn't identify any hardware issues.
I reinstalled yosemite (not a clean install) and the issue was not resolved.
I have completed a backup of my mac so all my data is secure.
Any help would be great, even just telling me how to turn on filevault will be helpful.

IMovie and Microsoft Office NOT WORKING! PLEASE HELP!

Just recently, out of nowhere, my iMovie and Microsoft Office stopped working; they won't turn on. I have Leopard 10.5, and they had been working on it since recently. Whenever I start iMovie, the "This program has quit unexpectedly" window comes up. Here's what I did. Firstly, I reported the problem to Apple and tried relaunching the program. That didn't work. Then, I deleted anything I had downloaded recently that may have affected it. Nothing. Next, I tried going into Library>Preferences and deleting all files with "iMovie" in the name. Nada. I then opened up disk utility and repaired disk permissions; yup, you guessed it, it didn't work. Finally, I archived and reinstalled Leopard, but it's still not working.
As for Microsoft Office, I have only reported the problem and deleted recent downloads. I haven't tried anything else (excluding the Leopard thing) to fix Office.
Please help ASAP! I need both of these applications for an upcoming project... and I may have to see a Mac Genius after this...
This is my last hope!
Thank you so much!
My AIM is tas121694 and email is [email protected]
Thanks again,
Todd

Well, that tells us that it's most likely something in your user account and not with iMovie or Office in general. If you need to get your videos edited right away and don't have time for troubleshooting, you can transfer them to the other account by copying them into the Users -> Shared folder. That would allow you to have access to them from the working account.
As to fixing the problem, you might try asking in the iMovie forum. It's possible that you have a corrupted project that iMovie keeps trying to open by default and that deleting that project might fix the problem. I'm not an iMovie user, though, so I'm not sure. Asking in the iMovie forum will probably get you more informed suggestions.
As to Office, what version is it, and do none of the applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Entourage) launch, or is it just some and if so which one(s)?

Microsoft Office 2008 Update Loop/Glitch for Survey

I just downloaded the new update for Microsoft Office 2008 and once I'm finished with it, a screen pops up prompting me to either take an anonymous survey or forgo it. Once past that screen it'll ask me to either register this product or learn more. Even when I try to register it mactopia never loads up and no matter what I try to open Office will only give me that screen.
It does this when I try to open a new blank document, or try to open an existing file.
Is there a glitch and a patch available to fix it? Or is there any way to bypass the survey?
SOS I need to write papers and take notes!!

I cam up with this fix from another forum that worked for me.
'If you are experiencing this problem, delete the following files:
~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Microsoft Office 2008 Settings.plist
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Office/OfficePID.plist
then launch any Office 2008 application and enter your Office 2008 serial number again...
Flavio'

After latest Microsoft Office 2004 update MBP does not sleep.

I did delete (helps often when a Mac is not sleeping):
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration (folder)
com.apple.PowerManagement.plist
com.apple.AutoWake.plist
~/Library/Preferences/
com.apple.systemuiserver.plist
but no luck.
Next I had a look at the Console and found this.

etc
So Microsoft Office Notifications keeps looping to load this. Anybody any idea as to how to solve this?
Thanks.

A guess here, Perian is not the right architecture needed for the Office 2004 installation.
Morning Donald, is what I figured too.
If you can find it, goto the Perian PrefPane and select uninstall to see if that gets rid of the problem.
You can always d/l it again.
I did will report back.
BTW do you know what other programmes use Perian?

"unexpected error" shutdowns from Microsoft Office -- a serious problem?

Hello.
I have a brand new MacBook. I recently installed Microsoft Office 2003 on it. Most of the time everything works fine but usually once a day an application just quits. It's not a problem for me to open it up again but I'm concerned that, if my computer is acting up when it is so new, what's going to happen when my warranty runs out!
Do I need to have it serviced? I live in a place with no mac store so it's a big decision for me to "send it in for servicing" (e.g., ship it away for a few weeks). I really don't want to do that unless it is necessary.
Thanks for your help!

HI Eva,
You indicated the Microsoft Office is a 2003 version. Might not be compatible with Mac OS Leopard. Check the Microsoft site. You might have to upgrade your Word software in order for it to work.
Check the boot disk for errors just in case. Restart your Mac while holding down the C key, pressing the power button and inserting your restore disk all at the same time. An Installer window will open, but do not proceed with any installations. Instead, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities > Disk Utility. In the Disk Utility window click First Aid, and then click Verify. If Disk Utility reports errors, click Repair. When Disk Utility is finished, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Disk. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.

I have 1 GB RAM on an '07 MacBook Pro. 1) How do I check remaining memory? 2) I have Microsoft office 2004 - do I need to buy more RAM to upgrade to '11? 3) I need a new battery ... Is it worth the $$ to buy a new battery, RAM and Microsoft office 2011?

I have a MacBook Pro from '07 with 1 GB of memory. The battery is shot and my AppleCare has run out. I just upgraded the OS to 10.6.8. But a few questions:
1 - How do I even check how much memory I have left on this computer?
2 - How do I check how many battery cycles are left?
3 - I want to upgrade to Microsoft Office '11 because I don't have Adobe Acrobat to creat pdf's and I need to be able to do this for school... Instead of buying acrobat, I figured I would just upgrade to Office '11 because I can generate pdf's from Word. Roughly how much RAM does Office '11 take up?
4 - Does Apple still make batteries for this computer (from '07)? How much do they cost?
5 - How much does 1 more GB of memory cost?
AND lastly -- is it even worth it to spend the $ on more RAM, a new battery and Office '11?
Or does it make more sense to just get a new computer entirely? (trying to avoid this).
ANY help would be sooo appreciated! Thanks.

1 - How do I even check how much memory I have left on this computer?
If you're asking how to check to see if you need more RAM, open Activity Monitor and go to the System Memory tab, then compare page outs and page ins. If page outs is 10% or more of page ins, you probably need more RAM.
2 - How do I check how many battery cycles are left?
There's no limit on the number of battery cycles, it's just that the more cycles you've used the more "worn out" your battery gets. You've got a 4-year-old machine, and if it's still got the original battery, it's probably about time for a replacement battery. You can check battery health using System Profiler... look at the Power section under Hardware.
3 - I want to upgrade to Microsoft Office '11 because I don't have Adobe Acrobat to creat pdf's and I need to be able to do this for school... Instead of buying acrobat, I figured I would just upgrade to Office '11
You don't need Office 2011 to create PDFs. Any application capable of printing can create PDFs on a Mac. Just choose File -> Print, but instead of clicking the Print button in the print dialog, click the PDF button and choose Save As PDF in the menu that appears.
4 - Does Apple still make batteries for this computer (from '07)? How much do they cost?
5 - How much does 1 more GB of memory cost?
I'll "ditto" sig's answers to these.
AND lastly -- is it even worth it to spend the $ on more RAM, a new battery and Office '11?
Or does it make more sense to just get a new computer entirely? (trying to avoid this).
If Office 2004 is still working fine for you, stick with that and don't incur the costs of Office 2011. As to the RAM, only add more if the test I mentioned above indicates that you need it. If you buy more RAM when you don't really need it, you won't see much (if any) performance improvement. That just leaves the battery... and if the machine is still doing what you need it to do and you don't really need a new machine for anything, you could definitely buy a new battery and get a few more years out of it.

Arial and Times New Roman disappearing in Microsoft Office following update?

After opening Microsoft Word following update to OS X Maverick on my 2012 15" Macbook Pro w/ retina, I noticed all my font in recent documents was gone, as if it was all turned white (it was not). Spell check still worked, the cursor blinked, but I couldn't see any words, even if I highlighted the text. I checked and did not have hidden text, etc. Times New Roman and Arial are really the only fonts I use, so it looked like Microsoft word was having an issue where it wouldn't display any text.
My IT department played around with it, reset my permissions, reinstalled Microsoft Office, to no avail, though I then realized that every font except Arial and TNR can display. If I open a document in those fonts, I can't see any text, but if I highlight it and change the font to something else, it all appears. I can also copy paste from Arial/TNR into another application and it displays. Arial and Times New Roman don't come up in the dropdown for fonts, either, even though they're enabled in Font Book. Both of those fonts will work in Adobe CS6, however.
I also noticed that all of the slide previews in PowerPoint, and most PowerPoint slides (except those that are only images), look blank—if there's a slide with a colored background and text on it (I'm not sure what font the text was in), the whole slide is totally white, no background.
I just ran FontNuke, to remove font caches, which made no difference. Any thoughts?

Hi Rdk1528 -- did you ever get this issue resolved? I'm having the same problem with my brand-new Mac, new Office 2013... the issue seems to have migrated from copying over the content of my previous computer.

Microsoft Office 2010 Professional - Problem - Will Not Auto-Open Downloaded Excel 2007 file!

Problem, see title. If I save excel file and go Microsoft Office 2010 Pro and open file after opening excel it will open file but it will not open when downloaded as I did before I let windows process 51 updates to windows (new computer). The
error message I get is, "file is not a valid Win32 application". My OS is Windows 7 Premium.

If none above methods work, then you may try third-party tools such as next software at:-

It supports both .xls and .xlsx file formats. I have used it to recover some Excel files successfully. It provides a free demo version so that you can try

Good luck!

Zen Micro problem need help

Today i was listening to music and my zen micro just froze while playing and no buttons could be pressed and the lock button wasnt on. So i took the battery out and rebooted the player but it froze at the creative screen. I went home and i went to recovery mode and tried to reload the firmware but it said erasing firmware for more than 2 hours. So then i tried a format but it said formating for the same amount of time. I need help please. Also, recently i've had problems witht the headphone jack. When ever i would stick it in it would sound distorted and i would have to move it around until i got it to a certain spot to hear it good again. If anyone else has this problem please tell me. One more thing i had returned my other micro zen in for hard dri've probems and this was my new one do u think if i have to return in (hopefully not) that they would accept it.

If the functions in Rescue Mode aren't working properly then you need to contact Creative Support.

How can I revert to previous Entourage prior to Microsoft office 2004 update

I have a 2002 eMac OS X 10.4.11 bought second hand 5 years ago.
I have been successfully using Entourage for all my email.
On Friday the system updates required(?) me to update Adobe Reader.
Immediately afterwards there appeared an update for Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac. I let it run the update.
A new and different Entourage appeared, without all my emails, addresses etc.
Just one email in it welcoming me to 'Microsoft office 2004 for Mac 11.6.3 update'.
I don't have OS X 11.6.3
I have tried everything to get rid of this and get my old Entourage back.
I tried to Edit the Accounts in Entourage - tools - Mail (tab) but it won't highlight the Edit, so I couldn't configure it manually, and delete the existing Entourage Account.
I tried putting Microsoft Office into the Trash but that didn't seem to work either.
Nothing seems to work.

Microsoft office 2004 update

Hi there,
I recently did a software update for my microsoft office 2004 on my laptop but stopped it about a quarter of the way through and now only WORD and POWERPOINT works. The EXCEL logo in the dock now has a question mark over it. Is there a way I can update the whole software from a link on the internet or would it be easier if i just went straight back to the beginning and re-install it all back onto my laptop using the software disc?
I hope someone comes back to me with the solution.
Regards,
Amy

I'd suggest calling Microsoft, since it's their product and they issue and validate the product keys.
