Can't find dock and MS word won't open

One day my Mac Pro decided to turn my background blue, my dock disappeared and I can't find it, i cant minimize anything. I hadn't updated it yet, so I just did
that and my background is now the purple galaxy standard one but my dock is still no where to be found even after playing with the dock settings. I went to
open Microsoft word 2011 and it wouldnt open, it said to check with developer to make sure MS word works with this version of Mac OS X (it said this before and after i did that update) It said i may need to reinstall application and be sure to install any available updates for application and Mac OS X

MS Office trial does not come with the MBA unfortunately.
iWork 08' trial can be downloaded via Apples website.

  • After clean install Preview and MS Word won't open any documents.

    Did a clean install of Mavericks. Restored my files from dropbox. (thousands of pdf and word files, doc. and docx)
    Now, preview and MS Word won't open any documents.
    Preview fails to open PDF so as MS Word fails to open any doc or docx file. Both crash on launch (not responding).
    The only way to open the files is renaming them.
    Try to delete the .plist (preview and Word), dont work.
    Anyone know how to fix?

    Hi Myelenium,
    Thanks for the info about Event Viewer!
    It's showing this message:
    Faulting application name: Illustrator.exe, version: 16.0.0.682, time stamp: 0x4f6e762b

    So I searched the forums for any previous AGM.dll posts and tried resetting the preferences (through Alt+Ctrl+Shift) and deleting the entire Adobe Illustrator CS6 Settings folder. I opened Illustrator again and moved some panels around to save a new AIPrefs folder but I was still unable to open any documents.
    Then I tried the next step listed here:

    And removed the Printer that I usually use and it seems like that did the trick! Yay!

  • I am running OSX 10.9.3 and my Word won't open. It says power pc is not longer supported. What is going on?

    I am running OSX 10.9.3 and suddenly my Word program won't open. An error message comes up saying that Power PC applications are no longer supported. What is going on?

    that means you have a very old version of MS Office ('04)?.  It can not run on any version of OS X higher than 10.6.8.  You need a more current version, can look at iWork, or try a free program such as OpenOffice or LibreOffice.

    You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked.  Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
    Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out.  Let Apple deal w/the problems.

    UPDATE: I had 36 Safari windows open and minimized on the dock from my last session; 20 of those windows failed to open b/c Safari "couldn't find the server"; I just went to the URL bar of all 20 pages and clicked return, and all 20 pages loaded perfectly, without dropping any images or losing formatting. This is a puzzle!!!

  • HT202358 can't open my iPhoto it says i need the upgrader did that and it still won't open.

    can't open my iPhoto it says i need the upgrader did that and it still won't open.

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.  
    Regards
    TD

  • How do you use "find my phone"?  I can't find it and I'm not sure I installed that app.

    How do you use "find my phone"?  I can't find it and I'm not sure I installed that app.

    The app is not necessary; that only for tracking from another iOS device. If you set up Find My iPhone, you can track the iPhone from the iCloud web site:
    icloud.com/find
    If you didn't configure Find My iPhone on the device before you lost it, then you're out of luck.

  • I upgraded my iphone to 5.0.1 and can not find carrier and can not make a call freezed.

    I upgraded my iphone 4 to ios 5.0.1 yesterday. Today the device can not find carrier and if finds than it freezes when I tap call. I swictched on and off but no change.

    No.  There is no legit way to go back at all.
    It seems that you had a hacked iphone that was locked back to the rightful carrier when you updated as it should.

  • HT201210 Just updates itunes software on my windows PC and now it won't open because of Runtime error R6034 can you help?

    Just updated itunes software on my windows PC and now it won't open because of Runtime error R6034 can you help?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    That's not how to do it. You don't move stuff then set the iTunes prefs > Advanced.
    Once you move the /iTunes/ folder, hold Option, launch iTunes and select Choose library... and select the ITunes folder on the external.
    This will use the iTunes library file in the iTunes folder you moved.
    Don't change iTunes prefs > Advanced.

  • I accidentally deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved it. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open. Is there a fix for this without my Ipod?

    I accidently deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved the program. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open.Is there a eazy fix for this without using my Ipod? Ihave 6K songs in Itunes that I can't get to.
    Thank You
    T-BILL

    Hmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
    Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
    If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
    If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
    You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:
