Can't download office 2011 updates, need to close Microsoft Database Daemon SyncServicesAgent
Can't download office 2011 updates.
Message says need to close:
Microsoft Database Daemon
SyncServicesAgent
don't know how
Open Activity Monitor (Applications>Utilities>Activity Monitor) select the processes (one at a time), double click one process, when box comes up, select force quit and repeat for remaining application. Note: for some reason I had to do this twice before it worked.

Trying to install MS Office 2011 for Mac SP 2 (14.2.0) on my Macbook Air (Lion 10.7.3). I have to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent but can not see how to do so. I have closed all applications. Can anyone help? Many thanks
Thanks Kurt! I had tried all that and had tried closing both programmes from the application monitor, but SyncServices Agent refused to close. I tried closing Launchd which is their mother application, but that just caused the screen go go blank. In the end the two programmes let themselves be closed next time I tried the installation process so all was well. Thanks for your help!

I am not able to close Microsoft Database Daemon or SyncServicesAgent applications to install Office 2011 14.4.1 update. Could you assist me? Thanks in advance
The updater should close those processes for you - it didn't used to do so but should now.
If it won't quit the processes for you, open Activity Monitor (Applications>Library folder), search for the processes and quit them. You should be able to install the update now.
I just find it odd that the updater isn't quitting the processes on its own..

I tried all the solutions above, and the many others that are posted on various other forums (involving shift keys, activity monitor, dragging and dropping apps, renaming etc). None of them worked. SyncServicesAgent and the Daemon App would reactivate evcery single time, within seconds.
What worked for me was to start the update installation and get to the point where it require syncservices etc to be closed. At this point, i DISCONNECTED FROM THE INTERNET. (I also quit syncservices and the database daemon in Activity Monitor but I don't know if that step was necessary). Then I went back ot the update installation, clicked continue and it all went fine.
So the answer seems to be: go offline.
Good luck
No, the answer is to quit the MS daemons that are running (database and syncservces), on or offline is not relevant.
You can't quit the daemons if Office is running, so exit Office first. -
I am trying to install an update of Microsoft office and I get a message that says. This application must be closed ETC..... I am running Parralell and I think it is there. The two programs are "Microsoft Database Daemon" "SyncServicesAgent". How do I close these programs?
If the Office updates have to be run through Win in Parallels, there's not really a section here that covers that , because Neither Office or Parallels are Apple products. There is only a small chance that you'll find someone with BOTH your conditions who just happend to look into a forum on older iMacs.
Parallels has a forum here:

I think you'll get a faster response there. -

Can I download office 2011 using Lion
I am unable to download office 2011 as the webpage will not open.
The box for the software says Safari 5 is required.
Can I download with safari 6?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciatedYou can download the trial version here. Scratch that, wrong link. That one's for downloading Office 2011 if you don't have an optical drive, like the newest iMacs.
Edit: I can't locate the trial version on Microsoft's site. It can be download from other sites, such as SoftPedia. Depends on how much you trust the source. -
How do i close microsoft database daemon and syncservicesagent to install office 2011
I am trying to install update 14.3.2 for Office 2011, but keep getting notice to close MSFT database daemon and syncservicesagent. Can't figure out how to do this.
The easiest way is to do it using Activity Monitor, an app that it's stored on /Applications/Utilities. Just open it, search the processes that belong to "Microsoft Database Daemon" and "syncservicesagent", and kill them.
If you don't want to use Activity Monitor or you don't want headaches, another possibility is to install this Office update in safe mode, to make sure that no Office for Mac processes are opened. To start in safe mode, hold the Shift key while your computer is starting until you see the Apple logo. Then, log in your admin user, install the Office for Mac update and restart as usual -

when downloading microsoft office update get message to close microsoft database daemon and sync services agent. Shouldn't these be closed automatically? I try to close them, but the message still says they need to be closed. Help!
Are you using Outlook 2011 or Outlook 2015? I don't seem to have any relevant sync settings under Preferences -> Other in Outlook 2015.

My macbook is stuck trying to install an office 2011 update. It continues to say "23 minutes remaining" but it has been saying that since last night. I am unable to stop the installation. Every attempt is thwarted and I am even unable to turn off the computer! HELP!
Hi Kaylin,
Go up to the Apple menu and see if you can force quit the process. If not, hold the power button down for 5-10 seconds and it will shut down your MBP. -
Can't activate Office 2011 for mac (downloaded from office 365 portal)
Hello All,
I've installed Office 2011 for mac which was downloaded from office 365 Portal. However, during installation process there was not a windows for activation (key or sign in method).
Is there a way to force activation on Office 2011 for mac?
Note: I've deleted office 365 com.microsoft.office.plist but i didn't get a windows for activation.
MacbookPro Version 10.10.2
Regards
JOHi,
If you downloaded Office 2011 for Mac, you may not need a product key to activate it. Office 365 uses a new mechanism that the activation is based on your Office 365 Account instead of a product key.
Anyway, in this forum we mainly discuss questions and feedbacks about Office for Windows, as your question is about Office for Mac, I suggest you post the question in Office for Mac forum:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac
I've also noticed this question is actually more related to the activation, you may need to contact the local customer service to get more dedicated assistance:
