Office 4 Mac Installation Disk Won't Load

When I try to insert and install the Office 4 Mac 2004 disk into my new MacBook Pro...I get a finder error message saying the application is not supported on this system?? Any ideas?

Hi Adam,
There are two ways of installing Microsoft Office. One is going through the setup process. The other is just dragging the Microsoft Office folder to your Applications folder. If you are able to get to the point on the disk to do that, then don't use the setup process. Once the folder is installed, and you click on any of the applications in the folder, at that point you will need to do the serial number imput.

  • Dreamweaver CS6:  Installation disk won't allow a change in the location of the installation folder

    First, I hope the moderators will cut me some slack for making a duplicate posting.  The comments below were posted in the "Creative Suites" community.  I just noticed that there is a "Dreamweaver" community.  I feel the issues I've raised below are more relevant to the latter.
    I recently purchased a Dreamweaver CS6 installation disk and have a valid registration code.  The Adobe website has recognized this code as valid.
    I started-out  by having the installation disk install into a folder on a high capacity (0.5 tb) external drive.  This was done while my Gateway PC was still working properly.  I did a duplicate installation onto this hard drive (into a separate folder) to accommodate any work I wanted to do on a Dell laptop I also own.  For a few days things seemed to work ok on both computers.  Then the cursor on my Gateway stopped moving.  Several changes of mice failed to resolve the problem.  I've written-off my Gateway as "dead."  However the Dreamweaver CS6 installation MAY (I can't remember) be on a "local" folder on my Gateway and I am concerned I will have trouble installing Dreamweaver on the replacement I've purchased.  I understand one is limited to 2 installations.  If needed, can I purchase a license for a third installation?  And what might that cost?
    After turning-off my Gateway I then went to my Dell laptop to try to work with Dreamweaver there.  I felt it was best to install on a "local" folder so I deleted all the Dreamweaver software from the folders on my external drive.  Unfortunately the installation disk is still "pointed" to the folders on my external drive.  To make matters worse I am now getting an error message which indicates I need to install into a folder on the "local" drive of my Dell laptop.  But the installation disk won't allow me to change the path.  On the installation disk the "path" to my external drive is faded-out and it will not allow me to delete and type-in a new path.
    I've spent what, to me, are big bucks on this Dreamweaver disk.  It's the only website building software that seemed to get consistently good reviews. However, for me, Dreamweaver is becoming a nightmare!  I'm very much of a novice at website building.  I don't know how, in the world, I will be able to a)  Create something, and then  b)  Get Dreamweaver to put it onto what is now a blank webpage.  I recently got "Dreamweaver CS6 The Missing Manual" and "Dreamweaver CS6 For Dummies."  So far I haven't been able to find anything, in either of these two books, which addresses the issues I've raised here.
    Somebody--please help!!
    Don't know if my screen name will show up.  So my name is JACK, near Old Faithfull.

    Have you tried calling Adobe Customer service? They can deactivate one of your installations so that you can install and run on a new system. And perhaps they can help with your other problem, or send you to a tech support rep who can.
    With regard to your use of DW, I'd strongly suggest that you take advantage of this downtime by learning as much HTML and CSS as you can absorb. Multiple sittings would be helpful. The more you know about those two, the easier DW will be for you when you eventually get it going.

  • My mac app store won't load and when click it nothing happens happens

    my mac app store won't load and when you click it nothing happens...it was okay for the past months but now i don;t know why it won't open...please help...

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Hard drive died, trying to replace Office for Mac no disks.

    Hi, my trusted Mac Book Pro of five years required surgery last week by the Mac specialists.
    The hard drive failed. No, I didn't have any back up, they were able to salvage most of the files
    but could not save the programs. The one I need most of course is Office for Mac, which came preloaded and I don't have the disk
    to reload. I have searched the Apple site and the Microsoft site, cannot find a place or even a contact to help.
    Thank you for any help you may have to offer.

    You have posted this in the Pages for Mac forum, not Office for Mac which is on Microsoft's website.
    The responsibility for preinstalled software is that of whoever installed it/supplied your Mac.
    If that was Apple then Apple should replace it.
    You may be coming to the realisation that not keeping backups and adequate records of your purchases is going to cost you.

  • My Mac starts, but won't load...

    Yeah, so I got the beautiful machine yesterday and I tried to install the software that came with it.
    Here's where I become the absolute moron.
    I got bored, decided that it was taking too long and I stopped the loading of the software. This screen popped up asking me which system I wanted to restart on and I chose my hard drive.
    It restarted, but wouldn't get past the white screen with the apple and loading circle thingy (I don't know the name, but hopefully you know what I mean.)
    Please help. I need my computer by this afternoon so I can work on my huge project.

    +and I tried to install the software that came with it+
    what software would that be? Are you talking about re-installing the OS?
    if you need to re-install the operating system, put the installer disk in the drive, and hold down the "c" key after the computer reboots.

  • OS X installation disk won't work

    my brother recently gave me his old 2010 MacBook pro 13 inch. I went into disk utility and erased the disk so it would be factory reset. The problem now is that when I go to reinstall OS X Mavericks it's not available. I do have an installation disk which I had from my own MacBook which was stolen years ago but when I try to use it nothing happens. I've gone into the start up disk and the only available option is the installation disk. When I choose that it restarts and then comes to a screen that tells me to restart and that keeps happening. Is there any way to install an operation system? I feel like I've tried everything at this point for something that I feel should be so simple. Your answers are greatly appreciated.

    So that disk is gray? Does it say 10.6.3 or maybe 10.6.4?
    ""Mac OS X cannot start up from this disk."
    Open up Disk Utility and select partition.
    Here's a good guide to walk you through the procedure:

    Sounds like the GUID partition scheme is messed up.

  • Microsoft Office for Mac Installation Problems

    I have Office for Mac 2004, which supposedly allows 3 installations, with 3 different Installation Key Numbers. I have installed it on 2 Macs, and all is fine until I try to use both computers at the same time. Then I get a message on the Mac on which I installed it second telling me that "a copy of this programme is already open", and if I want to continue I have to close down all the Office applications on the first machine! Very frustrating! I am almost certain I used a different installation Key for the two machines but cannot find the recoed of what Key number was used. If I look in "Properties" I see that the product ID numbers are the same until the last group of digits which are different on the two machines. How can I find which installation Key numbers I used on each machine, and is there any way I can get aouns this problem. I am nervous to unistall and reinstall in case I am then not allowed to reinstall with a previously used Key!?
    Thanks,
    Kendrew.

    Don't be nervous. It's no big deal. On one machine, run Office and make note of the Product ID in the About <app> dialog.
    Now, on the other machine, delete the file at /Application/Microsoft Office 2008/Office/OfficePID.plist and at /Users/<you>/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Microsoft Office Settings.plist.
    The next time you run Office on the other machine, you will be able to re-enter your product key. After entering the serial number, double-check the product key with the one from the first machine. If it is the same go back and enter another serial number.

  • Premiere Pro 2.0 Installation Disk Won't Read

    I had to re-format my hard drive and when re-installing Premiere Pro 2.0 I found that my installation disk will not read in my DVD drive!  Nothing is wrong with my drive.  It reads all other DVDs just fine.  I get nothing in the directory like the disk isn't there.  It's not a disk problem because they have been stored in excellent condition, and not only will the installation disk not run or open, but neither will the accompanying Total Training Video Workshop disks.  I am completely dumbfounded.  When I purchased this program about 6 years ago off Ebay I had the old 1.5 version on my computer, and had to enter the old registration key along with the new one for 2.0.  Is it possible I have an UPGRADE-ONLY copy here instead of the actual full program?  It's in the shiny new box and all and doesn't say anything on it about it being an upgrade, so it seems legit.  And if it was, in fact, just an upgrade-only program, would that cause the disks not to be read at all in the drive??  I need help on this one because I make my living off editing, and I'm sitting on 3 projects for clients that I cannot deliver on time to get paid, nor have I been able to afford to buy a new CS version.

    I have about 8 different burners on my systems, and some will read DVD's better than others will. On my workstation, I have one LG and one Plextor. The LG does the best, and when it fails, the Plextor usually can read. When this happens, I just do a Copy from the drive that can read the disc, to the other drive, using Verbatim, or Taiyo Yuden blank media. If neither can read, I have six others to try. Sometimes, it's just the burner.
    One little hint would be to make sure that your burner's firmware is updated to the very latest. That can improve the burner's ability to read from a slightly damaged disc.
    Otherwise, contact Adobe. For many programs, they sell replacement media. Do not know if there are version limitations, but one call should give you what is available.
    Good luck,

  • Bootcamp - Windows installation disk won't read

    I have a late-2011, 13 inch MacBook Pro and I am running OS X 10.9.3 with all the latest updates. I am trying to use Bootcamp to runs windows but the windows disk isn't be read by my laptop. I run Bootcamp, it downloads the latest support software but when I put the windows installation disk in; it starts to spin up, makes some noises like it is being read, then it ejects the disk. Anybody have this problem, or now a way around it?

  • Installation Disk Won't mount

    I am trying to install Photoshop Elements 10 from the DVD installation disk. Why is it being ejected before mounting? Other disks mount fine.

    It's possible you have only a CD drive. Apple has an exchange program to swap your DVD for CDs.
