OSX LION UPGRADE AND WORD AND EXCEL

Just upgraded to OSX Lion and my old word and excel will not open.   Message is  "Power PC applications are no longer supported?"  What can I do?

Office 2011 works well now that they patched it up. You can get it for $89 on Amazon for a single user license.

  • I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have bought a copy of Apple iLife 11 on dvd a so that I can install iWeb and idvd, when I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate

    I am using a new imac with osx lion 10.7.5 and have just bought Apple iLife 11 on dvd so that I can install iWeb and iDVD, as macs no longer ship with these apps. When I click on install iLife I get a message saying "iLife.kpg was signed with an invalid certificate.
    Next problem is that when moving through the installer and get to custom install, as I only want to install iDVD and iWeb, I am presented with the option to install iDVD, Sounds & Jingles and iWeb, but not sure what is going on with the other 3 options iLife Support etc, they seem to be greyed out but still look like they may install over the top of the newer versions already on my imac. Is it ok for me to just go ahead and hit install? Or do I have a problem?

    Yep, just install iDVD (plus sounds and jingles) and iWeb if you want it (but note that iWeb apparently won't work if you upgrade to Mountain Lion).
    Then use Software Update to get any late iDVD updates.

  • I have OSX Lion 10.7.5 and iphoto 11 9.2.1 I have spent 3 days making a book for christmas and when I go to buy it I am told I need to update iPhoto.  I went to apps and clicked on the update tab but it showed no results.  HELP!

    I am trying to buy the book I created in Iphoto and it says I need to update iphoto.  I have OSX Lion 10.7.5 and Iphoto 11 9.2.1.  I don't know how to update.  I tried to follow the suggested instruction by going to Mac App, clicking on update tab but nothing was found.  I am not sure what to do.  I have spent three days creating this book for a Christmas present and I am 5 hours from the closest Apple store.  Can anyone help.  I don't mind paying for upgrades if that is what is needed I just don't know what is needed or how to do it. 
    Thanks,
    Linda

  • I am running OSX Lion 10.7.4 and the computer no longer will go into sleep mode when I close the cover What happened with this option?

    I am running OSX Lion 10.78.4 and the computer will no longer go into sleep mode when I close the cover. In system preferences I can no longer find the option that allows for this energy saving feature. What happened to this option and why is this no longer happening with the latest version of Lion?

    No external monitors or devices attached. When you mention that this function only works when devices are attached that is true when you set up your preferences that way. Up until my upgrade to Lion the computer would always go into sleep mode when I closed the lid. There also used to be an option to check in system preferences that allowed you to choose this option. My question for the discussion is what happened to that option and how do you get the computer to sleep or at least the display to sleep when you close the lid as we have been able to do in the past. Thanks.

  • Mac book pro running slow and word and excel from Mac not opening

    Mac book pro running slow and word and excel from Mac not opening

    Call it Monday morning humor.... ALL the MacBook Pro owners we see asking the same thing (more than once a day, too) are slower since 10.10.x so we can assume something. Heard the very same story with every new OS in the past decade from laptop owners, heard a lot especially with Snow Leopard back in Aug-Sept 2009.
    A new OS goes better if you do a clean install / checked Roaringapps.com for compatibility / wait for vendors to have updates
    About the only things that can be done in addition - if you have like many posting those symptoms have minimal 4GB RAM is to upgrade to 8GB+ and throw in a new 250GB+ SSD (the most recent MBP have to be bought with and cannot add RAM later).
    Even the MacBook Air 2014 though with 4GB RAM have PCIe-SSDs that helps, plus 4th gen Intel i5's and an IG of 5000 or later all help.
    Try including more details. Model year and configuration at least.

  • My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time?

    My new iMac has recently had OSX Lion installed on it and now when I start the machine it looks like its updating something every time, and the wireless doesn't work. So I restart and everything is OK - until I have to start up again the next time - then I have to repeat this again! Any help appreciated.

    I've been having the same issue, but have just discovered something on my own that hasn't been pointed out in any of the forums I've visited.  In what I thought would be a vain attempt to help myself, I went to System Preferences, Users & Groups, and then clicked on Login Items.  I discovered that one of the Items that was listed to open automatically upon login was iTunes Helper and that there was an exclamation point beside it indicating that it was incompatible.  I simply deleted that item and now I don't have the situation you described and my wireless is connected.  Hope this helps!

  • I have OSX lion 10.7.2 and want this pos to automatically connect to my linksysy router

    I have an early 2011 Macbook Pro with OSX Lion (10.7.2) and I want this POS to connect to my linksys router automatically just like all my other computers (Vista) do. I have to join network EVERY time I want to go online. Any ideas? My system prefs, network has my network set up as join automatically but it NEVER does.

    Turn off the "hidden network" feature of your router, it serves no purpose as hackers can see it regardless if it's hidden or not.
    Mac's won't automatically connect to hidden networks, only upon a reboot it will, it's so the Mac isn't going around saying "joe network are you there?" all the time as thats a security issue.
    Follow these Wifi security steps
    Setting up a wifi router
    there is really only one secure way left to make sure your not hacked. WEP and WPA are both cracked. A too small of a password is easily brute forced by new graphics based cracking software and worldwide botnets.
    1: Update your router firmware. For Airport it's easy, just use Software Update and/or update in Airport Utility.
    2: WPA2 (AES) Personal easier (or Enterprise)
    3: 2 - Random 20+ letter, number, character, symbol, case passwords. One for the Admin use of the router only, kept off the machine and locked in a safe, the other for Internet Access only used on all devices.  A password this strong will take until the next Big Bang to crack, perhaps a quarter of that as technology improves. Certainly not in your lifetime.
    4: MAC address filtering and invisible networks are no match for hackers. Don't bother.
    5: Rotate the Internet Access password to keep people you don't want back on, from coming back. Once they have the password it's logged permanently into their machines. They could delete it, but most don't know they can or won't.

  • Mountain Lion killed microsoft Word and Excel

    I just downloaded and installed 10.7.3 and when I went to use Microsoft Word and Excel and PowerPoint, it said "power PC applications are no longer supported"!
    What?!
    In the middle of a work day? I can't access all my files?
    What do you do?
    John

    Thanks, SteveJobsFan0123,
    I appreciate your prompt and helpful reply! You and Neil were amazing in how quickly you replied. That is so incredibly calming when you're going through a sudden and unpleasant technical surprise that looks like a disaster.
    So thanks again! Much appreciated.

  • OSX Lion 10.7.3 and Airport Utility 6 Installation Errors

    I tried to run a Software Update and install the latest upgrades but the installation fails for both Airport Utility 6 and OSX Lion 10.7.3 updates. Each time, the update is downloaded succesfully then after the installer runs for a while an error pops up on the screen saying something like "Error: A number of files could not be installed" and all you can do is "ok" it. Nothing gets installed. When downloading JUST Airport Utility 6 from the Apple website to attempt a manual install, I get the following error:
    I've tried running Fix Disk Permissions on the drive, and even Rpair Disk, but found no errors of any kind on the disk. My disk has over 300GB of available space. The Mac is a 2011 MacBook Pro 2.3Ghz with 4G RAM, currently running 10.7.2.
    I've never had ewrrors with an Apple Software Update before, so this is very strange...
    Apple, can you please help, or let us know if there will be a fix forthcoming?

    Examination of the system log shows the following error exactly when the update fails:
    xpchelper[1030]: could not open dyld map file: (null)
    Installer[1166]: The Installer encountered an error that caused the installation to fail. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance.

  • Mountain Lion ate my Word and Entourage?

    Anyone know how to re-activate Word and Entourage with Mountain Lion?

    Thanks very much.  Yes, I was using Office 2004 which was migrated from my PowerBook when I bought my MacBook Pro in  2010.  Never realized that the new Office Suite with Outlook was not being used (I am not computer savvy).  I will check with Microsoft.  In the meantime, at least I see I'm not along in not realizing the upgrade would mean I'd lose access to both Office 2004 files (and all time machine back-ups prior to ML's install). 

  • Integration between InfoPath web forms (browser side), SharePoint 2010, and Word or Excel

    To begin with the end in mind, here's what I need to do:
    User A (employee) fills out infopath form in browser.
    User A saves infopath form, workflow runs, and sends a link to the manager
    User B (Manager) opens infopath form, clicks a button, and all the information from the saved infopath form magically appears in a excel document
    Here's how I did it, because I couldn't find an easier way to do it. This is an InfoPath no-code solution (uses web service and workflow I had to build) and this is working somewhat:
    In InfoPath Designer 2010, created the form from Blank 2007 form template.
    Published the form and promoted fields to Sharepoint 2007 as a new forms library.
    Created a view on forms library to show all fields (SQLExportView1).
    Created SSIS package to import data from SharePoint forms list using the view "SQLExportView1" into a new database and table in SQL Server (tblSQLExport1).
    Created SQL Agent job to run this package every 2 minutes.
    Created workflow to notify manager.
    Created excel document with an external data connection to SQL server.
    In SQL, created a stored proceedure ("spGetCurrentID") to truncate, then add a row to a table ("tblCurrentFormID").
    On InfoPath form, added a button that takes the current infopath form "ID" into a table in SQL server by calling the stored procedure via a web service.
    On Infopath form, added a hyperlink to the excel file which opens in the client.
    In excel, added a button on the workbook that queries the SQL database for the current form ID, and drops it into a cell.
    In excel, added a button on the workbook that queries the SQL database for the sharepoint list details that were exported via SSIS, returning only the row for the current form ID.
    In excel, created a button on the workbook that displays the fields I want in the location I want
    With over 25 users concurrently hitting the form library, there is a chance that when they open excel they will generate an excel document with bad data in it (data from someone else's current ID).
    I've since migrated to SharePoint 2010, and it works the exact same way in 2010.
    What I want to do is find a way to get the data that is already saved in the infopath form DIRECTLY to Excel by clicking a button without the web service, the stored procedure, the SSIS package, the SQL agent job, etc.  My problem has always been
    in getting the data from infopath into RAM/Clipboard/temp file(?) and imported into Excel by bypassing the SQL.
    Of course, I would like to do this without requiring an administrator approved template in InfoPath, and have it be much more simpler to maintain. There are a lot of moving parts.
    Please point me to any examples or make recommendations. The requirement is that users open the form, the data is filled out already, and with a click of a button, the data shows up in excel automatically in the right place for the item they're currently
    looking at in infopath.
    Now that I've got this working (kind of) for one excel document, management wants to add 25 other documents that this one infopath form can generate. 
    Therefore, once I get this to work better for one excel document, I can add other excel documents.
    I've considered passing a parameter to the excel document in Excel Web Services, as I believe that excel web services 2010 can support this. However, I believe that the macros that run in the excel client okay won't work in excel web services 2010.
    Users would prefer to open Excel in the client, though, so not sure I'm going to go down this path.

    Clayton,
    You rock - thank you for all your responses!
    The infopath form was built doing what it does long before the need to get the data into Excel.
    You are correct in that I could have modified the infopath code to save to SQL, but the fields in the form and on the forms library columns do change before and after the manager approves it.  As such, adding some code to submit the infopath data to
    SQL could have been used to write data into SQL server instead of leveraging SSIS/SQL Agent to do so. However the aformentioned workflow (see way up in the thread) does more than just send an email to the manager with a link. It also edits some fields in the
    forms library column on that particular list item. By using SSIS, every two minutes they get the latest stuff from sharepoint into SQL without having to add code in the workflow or - if possible - on the infopath code that does a table update where item=abc.
    It is common to get data from sharepoint into sql, regardless of whether or not it is a list or library (including infopath forms libraries). There is sample code on Codeplex that has been downloaded close to 40,000 times for this purpose which I'm sure
    you are familiar with:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd365137(v=sql.100).aspx and
    http://sqlsrvintegrationsrv.codeplex.com/releases/view/17652
    I agree with you in so many ways on why they should not be using excel (or word) to present the information. Having InfoPath or a custom workflow magically convert the data presented on a specific view in a filled out InfoPath form to PDF and emailing it
    would be wonderful, but it simply is not a possible solution.
    Surely you're familiar with companies that have a word document that, say, a manager will email to someone as an attachment, then the employee prints out the word document, fills it out on paper and signs it with a pen (or fills out a fillable form, then
    prints it), they then either fax it back or scan it and email it back to the manager, who then prints it out and hands it to a VP for a signature, etc.  Yes, the process is very old-fashioned, but in health care, finance, and for legal compliance reasons,
    some places simply have to do their manual processes the way they are. I've suggested and shown examples of how it can all be done electronically with digital signatures, etc., but their legal compliance officers and board members do not agree to this methodology.
    As such, I work within the confines I am presented with, as I'm sure you've had to do as well.
    I myself have worked for several Fortune 100 firms for many years (Microsoft, T-Mobile, etc), know what is possible. However the place I am at now, many of those options simply are not possible.
    They use excel (and word) because that is the templates the legal department and third party companies they work with gives them to work with. 
    If you've used enterprise OCR systems (LaserFiche, OnBase, Hyperion, etc.) you would be familiar with the fact that in order to scan and index keywords from OCR cover pages, the document has to have fields in a certain location. While I have tried to
    get the InfoPath form to line up properly, I cannot print out headers or footers and page breaks where the OCR system requires and expects them to be. What's more: when you print a filled out infopath form that loads browser side, as you know you get the browser-related
    stuff with it. Although they're all on the same web browser (finally - IE8) and all on windows 7 and office 2010, I cannot control the fact that some users use large fonts and other accessability features to make their 21" screens run at 640x480 (exaggeration).
    When you do this, it changes the margins in the print area, and more.
    If I could take the data that is in infopath, merge it with an excel template, and export that to PDF, that could be an option. Not looking to buy some enterprise PDF generating product, though, and looking to do this as close to a no-code solution as possible.
    Why we're suggesting PDF, perhaps we should be considering XPS, since we are staying with the Microsoft technology stack here.
    Perhaps I should rephrase my original question like this:  "I have 25 different documents that all need to be filled out automatically. Each document has different text on it, but the fields that need to be filled out on the documents are almost all
    the same. I want to present one form for users to fill out, and once saved, to generate all 25 different documents. How would you do this?". While not entirely accurate, as not all 25 documents need to be created at once, only on demand with a click of a button
    for each document, perhaps that is a better way of stating the need.
    Thank you Clayton (and all you lurkers out there hoping to find out how we solve this).

  • OSX Lion, It is slow and really lumpy/jerky Can I revert back to Snow leopard?

    Where are Apple?
    Had OSXLion for a week and it is nothing like as fast as the last OS, screen changes are really slow and jerky and the whole thing feels slower. Is there anything that I can do, or can I revert back to Snow Leopard?
    This is a real shame never had this type of issue with Apple before.

    This is a user to user forum.  You can only revert to Snow Leopard through your backup.  You might attempt piecemeal data recovery after backing up your Lion system, and copying your e-mail folders to IMAP if they weren't stored there before.  Spotlight frequently needs to finish updating in the menu in the upper right (it will only have a search field if it is done, and say it is indexing if it is not), or some plugins may need upgrading to be Lion compatible before you upgrade to Lion.  See my FAQs*:

  • Does the OS X Mountain Lion upgrade include iPhones and iPads?

    This is probably a dumb question, but does the OS X Mountain Lion upgrade automatically include iPhones and iPads?

    I don't know quite what you mean. Mountain Lion is for Macs and has nothing directly to do with iPhones and iPads at all.

  • Osx lion upgrade - computer boot VERY slow

    after upgrade to OSX Lion, my computers boot very slowly.  they also have a hard time waking from "sleep", sometimes running fans then going back to sleep again.  disk verified, permissions repaired before and after install.  any ideas?  it's happening on more then one machine so it appears to be related to the software.
