All my Microsoft stuff (especially Excel) appears in the Finder but has a little white circle and line through it. Does Lion not support Excel 2004?
To be blunt (my apologies in advance) no Lion does not support Excel 2004 or any Office for Mac 2004 apps. They were written for Power PC (PPC) Mac years ago. When Apple switched to Intel microprocessors they wanted to help people that had PPC based apps transition to Intel machines. Beginning with OS X Tiger they included a tool called Rosetta that allowed PPC apps to run on Intel machines. They continued this through 3 releases of OS X (Tiger, Leopard & Snow Leopard) over the course of 5 1/2 years. Beginning with Lion Rosetta is no longer included. This means users that had PPC based apps will need to either upgrade them to Intel based equivalents or find another app. In short if you want to continue with MS Office you need to buy MS Office for Mac 2011.
Now before you start complaining too much Apple was very up front about this and gave users plenty of warning. Of course that word did not get to everyone usually because they weren't paying attention. And if you're upset that you have to spend money well consider this you paid about $150 for Office 2004 and got about 7 years use from it, that comes out to less than $2 per month. In other words you got your money's worth. Again my apologies for being blunt.

Can't open excel in home premium office 365

Had office 365 home premium installed. Now can't open excel documents

Hi terrymmurphy,
Do you double-click on the Excel file and unable to open this file?
If so, the association between the file and the corresponding application may be missing.
Please follow these steps to re-associate the file manually.
1. Right-click the Office file that you want to open.
2. Select Open with, then click Choose default program.
3. Select the appropriate program to associate with the file, click to select the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check box, and then click OK.

It's recommended to download and install

Some users can't open Excel files. It is trying to open it in Internet Explorer "An error has occurred. Please try again."

I have some users in my company that can't open Excel files from any document libraries on SharePoint 2010. The receive the error message "An error occurred. Please try again."  We don't currently use the Excel calculations services. When
a user opens an excel file they are prompted to either Read Only or Edit.
This affects less than 5 people in a large company. They have the Full Control permissions and have been able to open the files previously. There has been no changes made to the server either. I can't find anything that points to this in the
event viewer.
It doesn't matter if which computer that they try to open this up from either.   All computers are Windows 7 Professional with IE 9 and Office 2010 x64.
I can't find anything that points specifically to this exact error. None of the excel files contain pivot tables.    This one has me stumped.

I would make sure no one has open on machine / locked on machine (Would assume you checked this, but wanted to add)
Also would have assumed you restarted the machines (:))
Make sure the file security did not change (check to ensure no one changed the sercuity of the excel)
Make sure the version of excel is the same (Changing from 2010 back to 2007 affects the file, etc.. on convert) that no one converted and saved thus causing error in file.
Can they open other excel files?
It sounds like the excel file it self has changed if you cannot see issue in SharePoint logs.
If it is all SharePoint excel files - try deleting one persons access and readding them to see if that helps.
SharePoint has issues ;)

The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin, how can I eliminate this problem without dropping m. firefox?

A few days ago I tried to e-mail a friend, when I started A box came up and it required me to add a plugin..Java. I contacted my e-mail courier and microsoft, they told me that is was a plugin from Mozilla Firefox. Since then I must go through Java to send or open an e-mail... this is NOT to my satisfaction, it takes too long for all of this to open and if it is not cleared , I am dropping Mozilla and going elsewhere. Why has this occurred? Is this a result of the last update? If so can I delete the last update and continue on the other version?
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== last week

Sorry, I have no idea what you mean by '''"The Java plugin has created a time unfriendly issue with my e-mail account, I can not open or send any e-mail without using this plugin,"'''.
If you think your problem is caused by the Java plugin, you should visit the Java support forum for assistance.
http://forum.java.sun.com/index.jspa
If you could explain what you mean by '''"time unfriendly''' issue with my e-mail account", maybe we'll be able to help you solve that issue.
It might be helpful for us if we knew exactly which web-mail provider you are using. It seems strange to me that viewing or sending web-mail would actually "need" Java for operation, its more likely that some other item on the web page needs Java to run some advertising or other garbage that isn't a necessary part of the web-mail functionality you want to use.

It tells me PowerPC applications are no longer supported - I wish I'd been told this before upgrading to Lion

Buy a newer version of Office (assuming it supports Lion). I don't know how the free Office substitutes (Open Office, Neo Office) stand as regards to Lion support. Apple has its own Office equivalent (Numbers, Pages) but I have never seen a copy so I can't say anything about it.
As Klaus said, dropping PPC coding support was mentioned before release, but is obviously not the first thing they are going to tell you about Lion. For those of us using Macs the rule of thumb has been for support to drop roughly 4 years after a hardware or software platform has been discontinued. This is no publicized formal policy but if you check the various hardware and software releases over the past decade you'll see that support discontinues about 2 OS releases after whatever was current at the time. Leopard was the last OS that ran on PPC, and Lion is 2 OS releases after Leopard, so I don't think any of us are surprised that anything related to PPC is now gone. Unfortunately it just means that Mac owners have to either be well-heeled to make more frequent computer purchases, or you have to be savvy and figure workarounds and be thankful for third party support.

As Ms Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
Office for Mac forums
Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. I think you will find them more than helpful.

How can I open excel pdf files

How can I open excel pdf files

Hi mmart1957,
Do you have Excel files, PDF files, or PDF files that have been converted to Excel? If you're working with PDF files, you'll need either Reader or Acrobat to open the files. If you have a converted Excel file, then you'll need Excel to open it.
Best,
Sara

What kind of Mac are you using, and what version of the operating system?
You should be able to select the document that you want to attach and then use the contextual menu (right click in some worlds) to compress the document, producing a .zip file. You can then attach that to the email and it won't appear as a picture within the email.
If I recall this correctly, the "compress" part in the contextual menu may have a different terminology.

DNS Information - Check to see if an extra entry is present in the DNS Tab for your wireless connection (System Preferences/Network/Airport/Advanced/DNS).Delete all extra entries that you find.
Place a check mark next to "Remember networks this computer has joined."
Non-responsive DNS server or invalid DNS configuration can cause long delay before webpages load
