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.
28/08/2010 17:00:01 Microsoft Office Notifications[3322] Error loading /Library/QuickTime/Perian.component/Contents/MacOS/Perian: dlopen(/Library/QuickTime/Perian.component/Contents/MacOS/Perian, 262): no suitable image found. Did find:

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?

Office 2008 is the oldest version that runs under lion. Office 2004 requires rosetta, which was discontinued as of 10.7. you'll have to upgrade to office 2008 or newer if you're using lion!

Why Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 does not support Arabic and persian?

Why Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 does not support Arabic and persian

For Arabic/Persian on a Mac, the best app is Mellel. But TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or OpenOffice should also work OK.

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

After installing recent java + security update, computer will not sleep

After installing the recent java, daylight savings, and the security update. my computer will not sleep. Does anyone else have this problem? I do have an adaptec usb2 card installed but nothing is plugged into it. Also i don't have any Ipods or external things plugged in. I have had the same setup for the past year with no problems, now it will not sleep. I have also tried repairing the permissions. Please help

When you select Sleep from the Apple Menu nothing happens, is that correct? Try this: Go menu > Home > Library > Preferences. Drag the whole of the Preferences folder to the desktop. Restart your mac, don’t worry if things look different, you have not lost anything. Can the mac sleep now? If yes, then its a damaged or corrupted .plist or preference. If you are using Apple Mail, drag the com.apple.mail.plist back to the new preferences folder created on reboot, you dont really need anything else but keep hold of the old preferences (the one you dragged to your desktop) just in case for a month or two. If everything else is OK you can safely delete it. If it has not cured the problem then remove the new preferences folder created on reboot by taking it to the trash, drag back the preferences folder you moved to the desktop and reboot. Now reinstall a clean OS. See how you go from there

IPAD 1 problems after ios 5.1.1 update, itunes does not recognize IPAD.. I check the device manager, it identifies an unknown device (My ipad) but unable to use it.

I am using the generation 1 IPAD.
I recently updated my ios from ios 4 to ios 5.1.1, I did the restore after the update and all seemed fine as it was detected the first time.
I tried connecting the IPAD again but it shows that the computer, itunes is not able to detect the IPAD.
I checked on the device manager, it identifies an unknown device (IPAD) and says no software for the driver. I am using windows 7 on my laptop. I never had any such problem with the iso 4. Any suggestions as to how this can be solved?
Thanks,
Vinay

Thank you, I tried uninstalling the device driver to reinstall again. After doing the scan for hardware changes, nothing flashes on the device manager. I dont see anything related to the IPAD or any other device for which driver shows unidentified device. It is as though the device is not being seen by the computer at all..
I even tried flashing the home/sleep buttons together but that doesnt seem to identify any device either.
Anything else I am missing?

MBP Does not sleep it just runs out of battery and dies

I did a fresh install of Leopard yesterday and I have a BRAND NEW MBP Battery, I fully charged it and let it drain down, instead of the computer going to sleep, it just ran out of battery and died.
Is anybody else having this problem and if so, do you have a fix?
Thanks

Hi Again Daniel
Again, please excuse a suggestion that may come across as insulting, but I generally work on the premise that to assume is inviting problems... So...
In the sleep preferences system preferences pane, you have two sleep options (for a laptop anyway). One for battery and one for mains power. I suppose you have checked the setting in both areas...
I should also apologise for not suggesting that a PMU (or System Management Controller) reset is the most likely cure for your battery issues... It was rather late when I offered my previous suggestions.
Here's the link to the Apple page which describes the procedure:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303319
I hope this does the trick.

I've tested these instructions only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing the key combination command-V.
Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.

How to push Office 2004 updates with ARD

I need a method to push the latest Microsoft Office 2004 update with ARD. Can this be done?
It looks like the installer is a installerVise package. Is there anyway to remove the files and build a package with Iceberg or Packagemaker?
What files are replaced and what about rights?
How is everyone else handling this?
ALL Mac OS X (10.4.6)

I was wondering if there might be a .pkg file embedded in the .dmg disk image file and, if so, if there was a UNIX command line way to extract it.
It sounds like the answer is probably "no."
I talked with Apple Enterprise support and they suggested opening the .dmg file, quitting the installer, and then using the Terminal application to see if there were any hidden files "dot" files. I did this on the Desktop and, curiously enough, even though one could still see the Installer icon on the Desktop, nothing connected with it showed up in response to an "ls -la" command. I assume that they must be parking the installer contents in a temp location somewhere else.
Has anyone ever asked Microsoft if they have any plans to distribute their Office updates in .pkg format? It seems pretty lame not to be able to use ARD to push these updates out easily instead of having to go through the work of doing a software difference between two computers.

I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). It is currently up to date with Microsoft updates. I am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I just updated my Mac software with "Security Update 2012-001". I am now unable to print (Epson NX510

I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). It is currently up to date with Microsoft updates. I am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I just updated my Mac software with "Security Update 2012-001". I am now unable to print (Epson NX510 printer) from Excel or Word. When I click on the Print menu item in Excel, there is a flash in the background like it is trying to open the print window, but nothing else. I am able to print from other programs like TextEdit, Mail or KakeidaGraph. As far as I know I have the latest Epson print driver.
Also, I am also unable to open an existing Excel or Word file from the open menu - both programs lock up and do not respond. I have to force quit. After I restart Excel or Word I can open an existing file by double clicking on the file, but if I again try to open another file from the open menu, Excel or Word lock up.
Any similar problems?

Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.

Microsoft office 2004 no longer works with latest system software upgrade

Since the latest automatic upgrade to my system OS X 10.6.8 Microsoft Office 2004 will not open work properly. Excel cannot import a text file and Entourage cannot append an attachment. In both cases they go into limbo and I have to force quit. Has anyone else had the problem and is there a fix as I am now without a properly operating email program.

Download & install this security update:

Updating Microsoft office 2004

I'm trying to download updates for Microsoft office 2004. The automatic updater runs into the same problem. When it gets to the microsoft site and tries to download the update I need I get an error message saying it couldn't find the server. I've gotten that message in both Firefox and Safari. Any ideas?

First off make sure you are using the Office 2004 retail. Some Macs ship with a "Test drive" version of Office which says so on its folder in the Applications folder. These typically can't be updated. Uninstall the Test Drive version first, before installnig the retail Office, so your updater has the correct file to update.
You can find Office's update on this link:

Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)
