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..

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!

How do I close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent
I cannot update my Microsoft software on my iMac as it keeps asking me to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent. I cannot find out how to do this... hence I have not updated Microsoft on my iMac since I have had it. What are they for anyway? Any help would be great - thank you.
Found an answer. Go to your Outlook, select Tools, SyncServices, untick all the boxes. Close Outloook, go to Activity Monitor and quit Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent. This time they'll stay closed.
Once your software update has finished go back to Outlook syncservices and retick the boxes.

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.
