13" Macbook Pro compatibility with Microsoft Office

I just purchased a 13" Macbook Pro.  Can I load Microsoft Office 2007 professional on this device?

Not unless you run Windows. Office 2007 is a Windows suite. For the Mac you need to purchase Office 2011 for Mac OS X - www.mactopia.com.
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
Install the Apple Boot Camp software.  Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7.  Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows.  Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7.  VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows.  The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.  It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc.  There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization.  The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

  • Do refurbed MacBook pros come with Microsoft office ?

    Was looking into buying refurbed to save costs but didnt know if I would have to buy office separately or the refurbed models came with them ...

    You'd have to buy Office seperately - no Macs come with a free version of Office pre-installed.

  • Report Generation Toolkit Compatibility with Microsoft Office 2013 and LabVIEW 2012

    Hello community,
    on this page there is shown the Report Generation Toolkit Compatibility with Microsoft Office and LabVIEW.
    In our company we use actually LabView 2012 and it works perfectly with MS Office 2010.
    Has anyone ever tried the "Report Generation Toolkit" of LabVIEW 2012 with MS Office 2013? Does it really not work? Has anyone an emirical value for this topic?

    Hi digital_badger,
    as you sure have seen in the link it is not officially supported by NI, which means to you one of the following things:
    1. You could upgrade your LabVIEW and your Report Gerneration Toolkit to Version 2014 and use MS Office 2013
    2. You could just try it with MS Office 2013 which might work but if it's not working you don't get any support from NI.
    Even if someone tried it already and it worked for him does not mean that it will work on your machines. It is possible that on some of your machines it could work but not on others. Their can be a lot of problems while playing around with unsupported setups.
    3. You could leave your setup as it is and stick to your MS Office 2010.
    I hope I could give you a good answer to your question

  • SmartView 11.1.2.1 x64 compatibility with Microsoft Office 2010 x64

    The SmartView 11.1.2.1 x64 is compatible with Microsoft Office 2010 x64?
    After installing SmartView, Microsoft Excel does not recognize this supplement

    11.1.2.2.300 the latest release of Smart View does support Office 64 bit. You can download the latest version here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/smart-view-for-office/downloads/index.html or on My Oracle Support.
    Remember SV is backwards compatible so the client version does not need to match the server version.

  • Solution Manager 4.0 compatibility with Microsoft office 2007

    Is there any OSS notes which says that Solution Manager 4.0 is supported with Microsoft Office 2007?

    Hello Mitesh,
    There is no such SAP note which can provide you information on Solution Manager and Office 2007.
    The closest and the most useful note would be SAP note 722513.

  • Apple Macbook Pro compatibility with HP EVA P6500 SAN

    I am submitting a SAN solution for a customer who is using Macbook Pro as a Montage unit, does this machine support HBA card for Fiber connectivity?
    My SAN soltuion is HP EVA P6500.
    Please I need answer ASAP.

    Thanks for your swift reply to the Apple/HP compatibility question.  Trust it will work when I buy MacBook Air. The HP app available at iTunes store helped us make our older Apple IPad print compatible even though the HP 6500 Wireless is not equipped with AirPrint.
    Regarding slowness of HP 6500 to reach "Ready" stage for printing. This is a printer for home use, so it not on a network. It always eventually prints.
    Your help is much appreciated.

  • Smart View add in 11.1.1.3 Compatibility with Microsoft Office 365

    Our organization is looking to move to Microsoft Office 365. Is there any compatibility issues with the Smart View add in version 11.1.1.3? I checked the certification documents, but they do not mention anything about Office 365.

    Office 365 Web Apps are not supported and cannot be supported as there is no platform for add-in's in that environment. http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=13602
    Most Office 365 uses cases and users end up with Office installed on the desktop and at that point we are talking about normal Office Support. Right now it is up to the Office 365 administrator to determine the version of Office to be used by their 365 users. http://onlinehelp.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-enterprises/ff637585.aspx
    Short answer is that Smart View does not support Office 365 Web Apps and there are no plans to support the Web Apps.

  • MacBook Pro compatibility with old Cinema display

    This subject has come up in other posts, but I didn't find my problem. We've just purchased a new 15in MacBook Pro 240/4/320, OS 10.6.4. I want to connect it to a circa 1999, 22" Apple Cinema Display, M5662. This has two connectors, a USB and DVI. I have the DVI adapter to Mini Display port. Nothing shows up at all on the Cinema display with this connected. The display works just fine with an older MacBookPro 1,1 (Intel Core Duo) running on OS X 10.5.8; this hook-up has a direct DVI plug. Apple support thinks its an incapability problem and doesn't really offer any else...they don't support them anymore. Any suggestions?

    Hi Larry!
    I know it seems like a silly question, but I believe these older displays had a fancy protocol in the DVI cable that allowed them to power-on automatically when you turned the computer on. This may not be supported through the adaptor. Have you tried touching the small power button area on the front right corner of the display bezel?

  • Macbook Pro Compatibility With M-Audio FW410 audio interface

    Folks, my old trustee PowerPC G5 recently blew up and hence I'm now switching all of my Logic / Audio setup to my Intel, Macbook Pro laptop.
    2 questions for you all...
    1. Why does my Macbook Pro not seem to recognise my FW410 interface (just flashes blue light at me) despite attempting to update the interface's driver (tried a few different options, none of which work)
    2. Presuming I can get it to work with my Macbook Pro, will the FW410 function, like it did previously using my G5. without the need for a power adapter, or will I need to use the 12v adapter? It's impossible to say right now as the Macbook Pro won't even acknowledge its existence!
    Much appreciated if there's any help you can throw my way.

    I find the creative suite to be painfully slow on my MBP (17" C2D 2.33Ghz, 2GB RAM). Of course it does depend how heavy you are using it. But basically I cannot use photoshop or AE under mac OSX, it drives me nuts. FOr light projects I just switch to parallels, they usually work smoother running under parallels with only 1GB RAM allocated to windows. ANd for serious stuff I switch to bootcamp so they get the full 2GB... cant wait for CS3!

  • Macbook pro compatibility with old mac software!??

    Hello! I just got my Macbook pro, and i wanted to know if there was any way to get my old games from my oldschool PowerMac from like 1994 to play on it......it says its not compatible...and that makes me sad..
    Thanks
    Dan

    If your old games are OS 9 programs, then they will not run on the Intel Macs. There is an emulator called SheepShaver (www.macupdate.com) that will run OS 9. Then there's the Mini vMac that emulates an old Mac Plus.
    If it's a PPC application and doesn't work then it simply isn't compatible with Rosetta.

  • Macbook Pro compatibility with Creative Suite 2?

    I was wondering if any of you Macbook Pro users are running Adobe's software from CS2, specifically Photoshop and Illustrator? What are your experiences with it?
    I'm thinking of getting the 15" 2.16 Ghz Macbook Pro. I RECENTLY bought Adobe Suite CS2 for my iMac G5. Not sure what I should do. I think it would be very expensive to have to buy the new Creative Suite that will guarantee to work on the Intel Macs. So I was wondering if anyone is running the software alright on the current Macbook Pros

  • Compatibility with Microsoft Office 8

    I don't know where to put this question so I am trying here.
    I am running Microsoft Office X (old version) and find I am not compatible with new Office 8 formats *.xlsx and *.docx (for instance). Is there some download that will enable me to read them without updating to Office 8? I don't see any reason to use those formats but friends have been sending me files in those formats and I have to tell them to send me *.xls and *.doc files (which they do).
    I tried the Microsoft site but could not find anything that was useful.

    Download this add on from Microsoft. It gives Office X and Office 2004 the ability to open XML (.docx, .xlsx, etc.) files from Office 2008 for Mac or Office 2007 for Windows.
    If the link doesn't bring up the proper page, you'll see a link in the right column for "Open XML File Format Converter for Mac 1.1".

  • Compatibility with Microsoft Office 2010 OneNote

    Internet Explorer allows me, with one click of the "Send to OneNote" icon on the command bar, to send information from the Internet, along with a link back to the source, to Microsoft Office 2010 OneNote. It would be great if I could do this using Firefox instead, since that is my principal browser.
    Is this possible?

    Try this extension. <br />
