My microsoft office 2011 for mac has stopped working on my macbook pro retina please help!!!

I have 10.8.2 running on my macbook pro retina 15' and suddenly microsoft office wont work on it and i have no clue as to what it is. can someone pleaseshed some light onto what the issue could be?

I have the exact same problem.  I started having the problem with MS Office 2008 after I installed a new harddrive in my imac (24-inch, Early 2009), OS X 10.8.4.  Everything was working fine and then when I try to open any Office app, the icon bounces in the dock, and nothing happens.
I as searched for solutions, the obvious fix was to uninstall office (even all of the excess system files it leaves even after an uninstall).  When I a re-install Office 2008, it works for about 1 week and then it stops working again.
Next I thought to try the new version of Office (Office 2011), so I did the trial download, and sure enough got the same problem.  After about 2 weeks, it stopped responding.  I have talked to MS support about this problem, and their suggestion was to uninstall and then reinstall, which I am becoming an expert at.
I am also having an issue with Apple Mail and contacts becoming disconnected.  When created a new mail, typing in the receiptant does not pull up their email address even though it is in my address book.  The fix for this, which I do even other day is to delete a system folder in Library/Containers/com.apple.mail.  I do that, and it works for a few days.
Any suggestions would be great.

  • So when I installed the most recent updates for microsoft office 2011 for mac, my ical info disappeared.  Still have the info on my Office calendar but it's no longer on ical.  It's also been removed from my phone.  How can I get outlook to sync with ical

    When I installed the recent updates for Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, my iCal calendar was wiped out, as was the calendar on my iPhone.  I'd rather use iCal than Office and was attempting to phase Office out altogether.  Now, all of my information is on the Office calendar but not iCal.  The iCloud version of my iCal calendar is not up to date.  In any event, I couldn't figure out how to send that info to the iCal on my mac or my phone.  How can I sync my Office calendar info to iCal?  If that's not possible, how can I get my Office calendar to sync with my iPhone?  All of my sync services are set up in iTunes and on my phone.  This happened to me once before and I spent hours on the phone with Apple and on the web trying to work it out.  I NEED MY CALENDAR!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    As that's not an Apple product, you may get more help by using Microsoft's Office for Mac forums:
    Office for Mac forums
    The other concern I have is that Office 2011 requires an Intel-based Mac and you posted in the older iMac (pre-Intel or "PPC") forums. If you have an Intel-based iMac (Apple menu > About this Mac..." will say "Intel" if you do) then I think you'll get faster and more accurate ansers to other questiosn in the Apple forums for newer iMacs here:

    Easiest way with Acrobat pro, is save the Word document, then convert the document to PDF with Acrobat, rather than doing a "save as" in Word itself to PDF.
    Do you have Acrobat full version or Pro?

  • I am using Microsoft office 2011 for mac, publisher is not included, meanwhile I have publisher files saved from windows, is there any recommended software I can install on the mac so that I can open the files?

    How can I be able to use my Windows publisher files on my Mac computer, since Microsoft office 2011 for Mac doesn't have Publisher? What's most recommended software to use for this purpose?

    Just an FYI here Allan, and clinton.
    Version 4.0 or newer of Libre Office can open and edit Publisher files, this is fairly new, you may not have noticed it yet,
    I tested it last week for another OP, it works very well, so finally there is a Mac application that can replace Publisher.
    Here's a link to the post.
    VikingOSX deserves the credit for finding it.

  • HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3

    HP Pavilion external monitor has stopped working with my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) with OSX 10.8.3.  When I purchased the monitor a few weeks ago it worked perfectly when computer was in clamshell mode or with lid open. Now external display has stopped working.  When I turn on display it scans for signal but does not find it and then immediately goes into sleep mode.  I am using a DVI connection with the adapter for the mini display plug.  REALLY FRUSTRATING. Any help would be extremely appreciated. 

    Hi lancekatigbak,
    If you're having issues with the display out on your MacBook Pro, you may want to take a look at the troubleshooting steps in the following article:

  • The dash key has stopped working on my macbook pro

    help!!the dash key has stopped working on my macbook pro mid 2010 and its amazing how much i need to use it has anyone else had this problem with keys and would they be able to fix it at the genius bar at my apple store

    Well if you took it completely apart and couldn't get it to work by operating the silicone "cone" then the trace or contactor must be corroded or discontinuous. The only repair is to replace the keyboard. Sorry.

  • Installation and activation of microsoft office 2011 for mac

    I cannot activate the Microsoft office 2011 on my MBP. It keeps showing error message.

    As Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
    Office for Mac forums
    Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.

  • ICloud mail with Microsoft Office 2011 for mac

    I have a problem with iCloud e-mail account in MS Office iCloud 2011 for Mac. I tried using imap-server: imap.mail.me.com, but when I try to login with my username: [email protected] and iCloud password - I am constantly given information about the error - Authentification Failed.
    How to solve this problem?

    Outlook on Mac is absolutely not supported. If you go furhter with your experiments you will have contacts deleted and calendars mixed up.
    Stick to what Apple says : Lion 10.7.2 ONLY. This "only" means : Apple Mail, iCal and Adressbook of OS X.
    zero 3rd party software is supported for iCloud. ZERO.
    Outlook on Windows is a completely different Software, do not automatically assume it would do on a Mac what it can on Windows.

  • Shall I buy Office 365 for my Mac? or wait for Office 2014 for Mac? Will it make a difference to SkyDrive - please help!

    Hello, 
    I work for a small business and we want to have a space where we can save and share documents with each other and with our clients. The questions I am asking may be simple but I can't seem to find the answers anywhere and just need simple answers back please. 
    Firstly - Do I buy Office 365 for my Mac or do I wait for ' Office 2014 for Mac'? If so how long do you think it we be until it is released? 
    - If I buy Office 365 - does it have skydive? Can I create a document on my computer, save it on skydive and invite a colleageue to view it, she then alters it and saves it? Will this new document then be saved on my skydive folder on my Mac? 
    If I wait for Office 2014 - do we know if this we have a better/ different sky drive function? 
    Please help! 

    According to your requirment, Office 365 for small business or higher plan suits you. We don't need to wait for ' Office 2014 for Mac' but join family of Office 365 for now.

    Office applications: Subscription to Office for up to 5 PCs/Macs per user.
    Office Web Apps: Create and edit Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote files via a web browser.SkyDrive Pro gives each user 25 GB of personal storage they can access from anywhere and that syncs with their PC. Easily share files internally and

  • Microsoft office 2011 for mac - which edition?

    I have to invest in the new 2011 edition as my current edition is only 2004 and doesn't work with Lion
    However I don't get the two versions on offer - Home & Student vs Home & Business and so do not know which is best...
    As far as I can see the only difference is that with Home & Business you get Outlook and since I use Mail I am not bothered about not having it.
    However, I am both a home and small business user so don't understand what 'Not for commercial use' actually means on the description of the Home and Student edition... are there miscrosoft office 'virtual' police that check how you use it?

    I bought Office 2011 (Home and Student single user edition) - which as you say, doesn't include Outlook.
    Also: in Word 2011 the find/replace "in all open documents" has gone. I really need that function. There are a few other things in Office 2011 that I dislike, for instance the fact that it takes a looooong time to start up and shut down.
    So I use Office 2008. It works fine in Lion.
