Can I use microsoft office 2011 on my new iMac 2015

I just purchased a new iMac desktop with Yosemite. I am wanting to transfer my info from my 2009 Macbook Pro. Will the Microsoft office 2011 work on the new computer or should I purchase the latest Office?

As MS Office will be seeing a new hardware configuration, you will likely need your 25-character Product Key.

What aspect of Microsoft Office? Office is a suite of programs... Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.
You've got several potential options. Libre Office and Open Office (both googleable) are 'open source,' free, downloadable programmes that will open most MS Office programmes and perform many of the functions of MS Office. Might be an idea to have a look round for reviews (etc) first, to see if they sound like they'll match your needs.
If you're keen to use the App Store, there's Apple's own suite of programmes: Pages, Numbers and Keynote. They're a word processor, spreadsheet programme, and presentation-type programme with similar functions to Word, Excel and Powerpoint respectively. They're pretty good for most functions, and are better integrated with Macs than MS programmes. They're excellent programmes for what they do, and relatively cheap (about £14 each?).
But if you're heavily reliant on MS, want ALL the bells and whistles of MS, or need to regularly transfer files between MS programmes on other computers and your laptop / desktop computer, then they might not be the best of ideas. Keynote - IME - can have some difficulties in transferring formatting to Powerpoint.
Finally, there's MS Office Mac 2011. You can't download MS Office from the App Store, but can order the CDs from most online stores (including Apple's own store). It might be worth price hunting - if you're a student, you can usually find the programmes relatively cheap (£38 at the moment on Software4Students, though you'll need to belong to an academic institution / have a UK .ac email address). Apple's own prices on MS software are unlikely to be the best prices out there (though the product will be identical).
MS Office includes Word, Excel and Powerpoint in the basic version. The slightly more expensive version (which, I think, is the £38 one on S4S) includes Outlook. Which - IME - is far more of a nuisance than Apple's native Mail programme.
(I should probably add - I'm an academic. I own both Apple's own programmes, and MS Office 2011. I tend to use the MS programmes more, if only because they're the ones that other people tend to use, and transferring between Apple and MS programmes is a minor inconvenience. Pages also lacks Garamond, my favourite work font. The Apple progs are, however, far more beautifully integrated, and would be MORE than good enough for most users...)

Can i use microsoft office on my macbook pro and from where should i download it?

can i use microsoft office on my macbook pro and from where should i download it?

I don't use Office myself so can't really offer advice. I don't recall seeing your issue before. Maybe someone who uses Office will be able to help.
As this thread is marked as solved it won't get the attention your query warrants. It would be a good idea to start your own thread discussing the problem - I'm sure someone here will offer the right advice/help.
Make sure you note what Mac your have and what version of OS X you are running.

Can I use Microsoft Office for Student/Home for school?

This might not be the right forum to ask this question, but I didn't see any other options listed that dealt specifically with Microsoft Office.
I have to take a class for school that deals with using Microsoft Office Professional 2013. I have a Mac Book Pro Retina so obviously I can't use Microsoft Office Professional 2013. I have Microsoft Office for Student/Home, and according to the Microsoft website, the only difference is that the Home/Student edition doesn't include Outlook emails, calendars and tasks, although I have all three of those programs on my computer.
I contacted my professor for this upcoming class and received no response yet.
Can I get away with using this program? Or am I really expected to buy an entirely new program for one semester of school?
Any input is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

When he (professor) responds, it will be a definitive answer. No one here can provide that for you.
Ciao.

I have a MacBook Pro (purchased in 2011) with OS X Lion 10.7.4. I'm using Microsoft Office 2011 and cannot open older PowerPoint Files (non .pptx). It will always open the same .pptx file and then the machine hangs up and just keeps spinning.

Thank you - that all makes sense. It is, indeed, exactly what I did when I upgraded.
I'm also writing this on the machine that crashed a few minutes ago (I posted the crash in another thread). I got back with a 'safe boot' - as I have done a few times before.
I've also de-installed little snitch (and then done a safe-boot & then re-boot ) since that seemed involved. I de-installed Adobe flash, since that seemed to be a problem - I then re-installed the later, apparently fixed, flash. The most recent crashes don't seeme to have a problem with flash any more.
I've posted the various ( generally different ) crashes. I also posted a summary of the similar lines that turn up in most of the crashes.
Unfortuantely, I'm actually trying to use the machine to meet some urgent deadlines and all this is not making it at all easy.
I had had great hopes for 10.7.2 - I thought that the crashes must be pretty common, so would have a common aetiology. There do seem to have been some fundamental changes to the file sytem and to the video interface (that seems to cause problems to brand new iMacs as well as to my 2009 iMac).

Installer hung -- M$ Office 2011 on my new iMac.

Hello, Totally new Mac newbie here. I am trying to install M$ Office 2011 on my new iMac.
The installer process stopped on the "installation" step and said I needed to quit Safari and Firefox before it could continue. I did quit those apps (at least I think I did.) But now the installer reamins in a loop not recognizing that they are gone ... telling me I need to quit them.
The installer also will not let me quit out of it. So there it sits in a loop. Help?!?!?

There must be a more "normal" Mac way to shut down an application than using the Activity Monitor. Please tell how a normal Mac user would do this.
It's more likely an issue with the MS installer. I suspect something about it was preventing the other apps from quitting in a timely fashion. I think I'm a "normal Mac User" as I've used Macs exclusively since ~1989 and command q always works to quit a program.
I also used a lot of MS Office versions and continue to do so. However, I've learned their installers can be rather demanding of resources, so I'm always careful to close all open apps before running an MS installer.
You can probably find additional suggestions in Microsoft's Office for Mac community forums as well:

I am using Microsoft office 2011 for mac, publisher is not included, meanwhile I have publisher files saved from windows, is there any recommended software I can install on the mac so that I can open the files?

How can I be able to use my Windows publisher files on my Mac computer, since Microsoft office 2011 for Mac doesn't have Publisher? What's most recommended software to use for this purpose?

Just an FYI here Allan, and clinton.
Version 4.0 or newer of Libre Office can open and edit Publisher files, this is fairly new, you may not have noticed it yet,
I tested it last week for another OP, it works very well, so finally there is a Mac application that can replace Publisher.
Here's a link to the post.

How can I use Microsoft Office on two user accounts on one IMAc?

Dear all,
I have installed Microsoft Office 2011 on my IMac which I have recently bought. I did this on the (at that time) only user account in place: the administrator account.
A little time after this my wife and I decided it would be much easier to us to make an additional user account on the same computer for my wife (also with administrator rights), so we could have our own settings, desktop preferences etc. So now we have two user accounts/profiles on one Imac, so far so good.
But when my wife signs in on her account, she is not able to use Microsoft Office . Office seems to be only available to the user account on which it has been installed initially: 'my' account.
Can anyone help us out here and tell us how we can make Office available to my wife's user account as well? I understand that the licence of Office is restricted to one computer, but what about two accounts on the same IMac? I mean, it is still one computer, one 'home', one family etc.
We would appreciate your help here!
Kind regards,
Jurjen

As long as you installed MS Office into its default location (the top level /Applications folder) it will be available to all user accounts on the Mac.
As far as licensing is concerned you only have to enter the license code once, which you should do right after installing MS Office, in the same admin account you installed it from, by opening any one of the MS Office applications. There is no additional licensing required for additional user accounts on the same Mac.
Each user account is able to run the Office apps. The only thing you will have to do is go through an initial setup screen in each user account (but this setup does NOT involve entering any additional license codes).
You may have problems if you installed MS Office in a particular user account (i.e. NOT in the top level /Applications folder).

Can't open Microsoft Office 2011 even after unistalling then reinstalling. Error message comes up before launch. What do I do? Can I fix this? I need to activate Microsoft Office within 15 days!!

I recently got a new MacBook Pro Running on OSX Mavericks and used Time Machine to move my documents and applications. However Microsoft Office Student/ Home applications did not work and requested a product key. I did not have the product key for it as I had installed Microsoft a long time ago, so I purchased a new Mincrosoft Office 2011 Student/Home Pin to install Microsoft Office. Everything installed fine, however when I go to open it it failed to open.
I need to activate my Microsoft Office within 15 days apparently and this is done when the application is launched. However none of the Microsoft Office applications do Launch (not Word, Powerpoint, Excel or Outlook).
Whenever I tried to open one of the named above the Microsoft Error Reporting App would pop up and list the errors. I was advised on other support pages to disenable this app so I have done that but now Word is now giving its own error message saying:

I don't know or understand what is stopping me from launching my Misrosoft Office. I am wondering if others have encountered similar problems with OSX Mavericks and the Microsoft Office 2011? Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get it to launch?
I need to get hold of my Word and Powerpoint Documents ASAP.

This indicates you had a bad install. You need to completely remove Office and reinstall using your new CD Key. See instructions here. Do not do the simple remove, Use the COMPLETELY REMOVE ALL FILES steps.
http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/12/office-for-mac-2011-remove-office/
so I purchased a new Mincrosoft Office 2011 Student/Home Pin to install Microsoft Office.
You don't purchase a PIN. A PIN is generated when you install Office. You need a CD Key. If you bought Office365, you activate online.
I have issues with the Microsoft User Data - are there supposed to be two? and where exactly do they belon. They are in the Documents file at the moment.
Unless you used Outlook or Entourage you can delete both Microsoft User Data folders. When you install Office it will create a new one. Only Outlook & Entourage used this folder for data. W,E,P stores it's data in the User's Library/Application Support/Microsoft folder now.

Can I use Microsoft office?

I need to know if i can use microsoft office for my mac pro

You can use the Mac version of Office, called OfficeMac.
If you have a copy of Office already, but it's for Windows, you'll have to install it's compatible version of Windows into a virtual machine program in OS X, to run that version of Office.
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
If you don't need to work with others or don't have a lot of money,
LibreOffice is free/donationware and opens Office files, etc
Mac, Windows and Linux versions so you don't have to worry about what OS it's running.

I updated to Lion os x and can't use microsoft office 2004 i can't o

I updated to Lion os x and now can not use Microsft Office 2004, I cant open it or uninstall it, it just says powerPC applications are no longer supported.
I have lost all emails on Entourage and can only retrieve emails via hostway that have been delivered today.
Trying to get help from Apple care is a nightmare as they need a serial number, which Lion being a digital download does not have one only web order number, which does not work when I put in serial box.
Can any one help me please, I am getting so frustrated

dual partition just means splitting the space on your hard drive into two, having Snow Leopard on one part and Lion on the other so you could use Office '04 on the SL side. I am pretty sure installing '11 won't delete '04, but can't say with 100% certainty. You can also check out free word processing programs such as OpenOffice and LibreOffice.

Microsoft haven't yet released an app version of their office programs, but there are apps that support word, excel, and powerpoint documents on an iPad.
The options include Apple's Pages app for Word documents, Numbers for Excel spreadsheets and Keynote for Powerpoint. And from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD.

How can you use microsoft office programs?

You can purchase Microsoft Office for Mac (http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products), then install it on your iMac, and be able to read most if not all Office documents generated on your work systems, be they PC or Mac computers.

How can i share microsoft office 2011 with my mac pro users

I recently purchased a mac pro and downloaded microsoft office but want to know how to share with other users on my mac.

It sounds like you installOffice in the Library folder in your account which limits the use of Office to your account.
If you would have installed it in the Library at root then everyone on the Mac can use it.
Not be a user of Office, I think you will have to uninstall it and then reinstall it correctly in the Library folder at root.
