After updating to mavericks microsoft office doesnt work !

Just realised after updating OS to mavericks my microsoft office 2011 stopped working properly. Lets see:. powerpoint issues
1. No background colour visualy can see on the slides on the left corner
2. Powerpoint quits unexpectidely
3. Slides show doesnt work, quits or black screen appears
4. After editing sand saving powerpoint don't save any changes
Is anyone have solution? or expierencing the same issues, please advise.
Still working on microsoft office it closes as well unexpectidely.
Possible it is no worth upgrade to mavericks as is really annoying when i need to work with office.

My issue is now fixed.
Here's what I did. (I don't know which part actually fixed it, though.)
- made sure that Excel was not running in the background (it wasn't)
- deleted the preferences in ~/Library/Preferences for Microsoft Office
- deleted the preferences in /Library/Preferences for Microsoft Office
- rebooted
- re-started Excel: it started with a screen saying "Your copy of Microsoft Office is now authorized."
- in Excel, went under "Help" and chose "Check Updates"; this found a small update, which I applied
- in Excel, did Check Updates again which then found a much bigger update, which I too applied
- checked updates again to be told it was up to date
From there it seemed to work as it should. Hopefully, this will help someone in the same situation.

HELP- After installing OSX Maverick, Microsoft Office is having problems!

I recently updated my computer to the new opperating system OSX Maverick. After doing so when I tried to open microsoft word it asked me to sign into my microsoft account to re-initiate it. Ive tried many different times, on many different days each time with the same error message "we could not reach your account, please check your internet connection and try again later". I have tried re-starting my computer along with many other things, I have also gone online and signed into my microsoft account, therefore I know the information I used to attempt to log in is correct. Is this a possible compatibility problem between Maverick and Office or is it simply a problem with Microsoft at this time. I have the Mac 2011 home office 365 currectly installed on my computer.

It must be the Office 365 link acting up. You might want to try disabling it if Office 2011 is your main tool.

After upgrading to Mavericks, Microsoft Office works fine, but Word won't hide

I'll be working in Word, hit command+H and Word just goes to the background. I try selecting it in the Word menu, same thing. Anyone got any ideas? I have the latest version--just checked for updates and there are none available (Word 2011).

Hello sharlegit
Try creating a new network location and test to see if the same thing happens of certain websites not working.

After updating to mavericks I have to constantly enter my apple ID for mail, iBooks, iTunes and many other applications that used to be part of my keychain. How can I get my log-in to work again?

After updating to mavericks I have to constantly enter my apple ID for mail, iBooks, iTunes and many other applications that used to be part of my keychain. How can I get my apple ID log-in to work again?

Several times I've re-entered my passwords under Preferences/Internet Accounts/iCloud and it won't save since I've installed Mavericks. Also, the iCloud icon in the left column in Preferences/Internet Accounts/iCloud is greyed out but allows me to click on it to set-up. When I click on iCloud the password is filled out but the "Enable this account" check-box is not checked. I check it, and all seems correct. The icon is no longer grey, the password is correct, the "activate this account" check-box is checked. Then, when I launch mail, notes etc. I'm still prompted to re-enter my apple ID. The log-in loop continues. For years my keychain has worked perfectly. What has changed in Mavericks?

After updating to Mavericks I can't open iTunes. I keep getting a popup telling me to unclick "run in 32- bit mode" in iTunes info. I have done that several times and rebooted. Everything else seems to be working fine.

After updating to Mavericks, I can't open iTunes. I keep getting a pop up telling me iTunes needs to run in 64-bit mode. After following directions several times to go to Finder, iTunes, Get info and "unclick 32-bit mode" it still won't work and i keep getting the smae pop up window. I've rebooted several times also.

What version of iTunes do you have? The current version of iTunes for Mavericks is 11.1.5 and the default mode is 64 bit. If "Open in 32 bit mode" is checked and you cannot uncheck it are you logged on using an account with administrative priveleges?

Are you using any MS Office third party Add-ins? Test: Remove third party Add-ins other than PDFMaker. Test to see if the MS Office apps run afterward.
Did you attempt to repair MS Office? Test: Go to Add/Remove Control Panel run Repair.
Finally, have you tried testing to see if it's PDFMaker? Test: Use the Add/Remove Control Panel to modify the Acrobat installation to remove PDFMaker. See if MS Office applications launch and behave correctly?

After updating to Mavericks from Snow Leopard, everything works except iPhoto. If I buy the current version of iPhoto for $15, will it work on Mavericks?

After updating to Mavericks from Snow Leopard, everything works BUT all my photos were lost. If I buy the current version of iPhoto for $15, will it run on Mavericks?

If you have iPhoto from iLife '11, then I would first install it on your computer. In that way you would be able to get the new iPhoto free since you are running Mavericks.
iWork and iLife for Mac come free with every new Mac purchase. Existing users running Mavericks can update their apps for free from the Mac App Store℠. iWork and iLife for iOS are available for free from the App Store℠ for any new device running iOS 7, and are also available as free updates for existing users. GarageBand for Mac and iOS are free for all OS X Mavericks and iOS 7 users. Additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available for a one-time in-app purchase of $4.99 for each platform.
The iWork apps are free with a new iOS device since 1 SEP 2013. They are free with a new Mac since 1 OCT 2013. They are also free with the upgrade to OS X Mavericks 10.9 if you had the previous version installed when you upgraded.

After updating to Mavericks "Power PC applications are no longer supported" when I try to open AppleWorks6, Microsoft Word, and Illustrator CS

after updating to Mavericks a window pops up saying "Power PC applications are no longer supported" when I try to open AppleWorks6, Microsoft Word, and Illustrator CS. How can I access my files. Secondly, is there a way to allow these programs to function?

Quite honestly, a step by step guide to install Windows into Parallels could be needed by some basic or novice users, as well!
My point is to not scare aware a user with a problem where a potential solution exists.
This is especially true because some of the few, but vocal, "naysayers" about this approach would use your statements to validate their continued criticism of it.
One guy in particular criticises every option other than upgrading to Mavericks compatible software, even when the OP clearly expresses a problem where that option does not exist! ... and he was an early and very vocal proponent of the "installing Snow Leopard into a new partition - 'dual-booting' solution" when Lion was first released back in 2011!

After Updating to Mavericks my Outlook contacts and folders disappeared - How do I recover them?

After Updating to Mavericks my Outlook folders and contacts disappeared - how do I recover them? Thank you!

It's possible Outlook opened in a new Identity.
In the Finder go to your Documents folder > Microsoft User Data folder > Office 2011 Identities folder.
Inside you should see your Identity. You might see other Identities from prior rebuilds. If Outlook opened in a new blank Identity you can open the Database Utility to set your old Identity as default.
Options to check in the Identity to determine if it has data.
Check the database file in the Identity to see when it was created and modified.
Check the Data Records folder to see if it has these folders:
Message Attachments
Message Sources
Messages
If these folders are missing there are no messages.
Open the Database Utility
Hold down the Option key when launching Outlook. It will open the Database Utility.
Click on the + to add a new Identity.
Click on the gear to set default Identity.
Another option to open the Database Utility is to open from Applications.
/Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office/Microsoft Database Utility.app

I can not open Airport utility on my iMac after updating to maverick 10.90.4

I can not open Airport utility on my iMac after updating to maverick 10.9.4 . Error Message:[You can’t use this version of the application “AirPort Utility.app” with this version of OS X. You have "Airport Utility.app"5.4.2] It also will not allow me to install "airport Utility 6.3. Does anybody has a fix for this?

Re-run Software Update and see if there is a newer version of Airport Utility. I suspect your router or iMac may be too old to use Airport Utility 6.3 . As a work- around if Software Update does not work then try reading this article and see if the suggested solution help you.

IMovie and Microsoft Office NOT WORKING! PLEASE HELP!

Just recently, out of nowhere, my iMovie and Microsoft Office stopped working; they won't turn on. I have Leopard 10.5, and they had been working on it since recently. Whenever I start iMovie, the "This program has quit unexpectedly" window comes up. Here's what I did. Firstly, I reported the problem to Apple and tried relaunching the program. That didn't work. Then, I deleted anything I had downloaded recently that may have affected it. Nothing. Next, I tried going into Library>Preferences and deleting all files with "iMovie" in the name. Nada. I then opened up disk utility and repaired disk permissions; yup, you guessed it, it didn't work. Finally, I archived and reinstalled Leopard, but it's still not working.
As for Microsoft Office, I have only reported the problem and deleted recent downloads. I haven't tried anything else (excluding the Leopard thing) to fix Office.
Please help ASAP! I need both of these applications for an upcoming project... and I may have to see a Mac Genius after this...
This is my last hope!
Thank you so much!
My AIM is tas121694 and email is [email protected]
Thanks again,
Todd

Well, that tells us that it's most likely something in your user account and not with iMovie or Office in general. If you need to get your videos edited right away and don't have time for troubleshooting, you can transfer them to the other account by copying them into the Users -> Shared folder. That would allow you to have access to them from the working account.
As to fixing the problem, you might try asking in the iMovie forum. It's possible that you have a corrupted project that iMovie keeps trying to open by default and that deleting that project might fix the problem. I'm not an iMovie user, though, so I'm not sure. Asking in the iMovie forum will probably get you more informed suggestions.
As to Office, what version is it, and do none of the applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Entourage) launch, or is it just some and if so which one(s)?

Will Microsoft Office 2001 work with the Lion upgrade?

Will Microsoft Office 2001 work with the Lion upgrade?
Will one have to reinstall after the Lion upgrade?

Office 2001 will not work with Lion. That is a Power PC App which is no longer supprted in Lion. You should upgrade to Office 2011, Apple iWork, or Open Office.
