Cant get email with Entourage (office 2004)

All of a sudden I cant access email thru either gmail or att in Entourage. I believe my computer is so old it cant be updated to later versions of Office. Is there any other way to correct/troubleshoot this without reinstalling? I have no idea where my disks are since I moved. Using OS X Tiger 1o..4.11. Help! I know this isnt really a Mac question, but would really be grateful for any ideas.

I have Office:Mac 2008 nicely running on a G4 tower with 10.4.11 from 2004, and Entourage works fine. 2008 was the last of the Office version the support PowerPC Macs. We also have been able to use the much older older Office X on an older eMac and, again, Entourage works fine. So I don't think it's a version issue with Entourage.
Can you access either account through your browser? That's important to check that the accounts are active and your ISP is doing its job.
Allow me to suggest a forum more targetsed to Entourage--Microsoft's Office :Mac forums. They are very helpful and MS Mac Unit employees often help out there:

    I have Mac OS10.4.11 with MS Office 2004 for Mac, installed. Yesterday, when clicking on the Entourage icon, in the dock, to receive my Email, the icon disappeared and I lost my Email service from the HD and from Spotlight, as well. Word, Excel and PP are still OK. Could this be a virus?

    Just thinking, if things are really missing...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

    I've asked a moderator to remove your code information.  Unfortunately, you included it in the title of the thread as well so it will stand out quickly to any just browsing the forums.  You may find that when you try to use it, someone else may have already used it to activate their own.  If that happens, make sure you let Apple know about your posting here.

  • Snow Leopard Problems with Microsoft Office 2004

    I installed Snow Leopard about two months ago. Ever since I have nad problems opening Microsoft Worrd 2004. Every time I try to open Word it hangs up at "Optimizing font menu performance..." Before I installed Snow Leopard I had no problems with any Office 2004 applications. I also have a lot of problems with fonts when I open Safari.

    This message occurs whenever your installed fonts change. I work for a publisher so was getting it all the time as I turned fonts on and off for different projects.
    In Office 2004, do this:
    1. Go to */Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Support Files/*
    2. Rename or move FontCacheTool. (Requires administrator access)
    In Office 2011, do this:
    1. Go to *~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2011/*
    2. Delete *Office Font Cache*
    3. From Terminal, type touch" then drag in the Office 2011 folder
    4. Back in the Finder, do Get Info on the new, empty *Office Font Cache* file. Make it read only and lock it.
    Notes:
    1. WYSIWYG menus will now just show the font name in standard font.
    2. You may be able to disable the 'optimising' message more easily by going to Word's preferences and turning off the 'WYSIWYG font and style menus' tick box in the General section. This takes affect in all Office applications but doesn't seem as reliable at preventing the caching problem.
    4. Newly added fonts should still appear when you next start an Office application.
    3. However you have Office set up, it can't see certain fonts. They are the ones logged to Console, e.g.:
    12/04/2011 09:58:14 /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/ATS.framewo rk/Support/fontd[21782] ATS Font family could not be created for Abaton ITC Std - Legacy Applications may not see this font

  • HT5787 i forget the security questions answers and i cant get email of resetting link in my email

    i forget the security questions answers and i cant get email of resetting link to my email

    If the email hasn't arrived after a few hours and isn't in a spam filter, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

    Nothing, except "keep asking".  Maybe you can return it.
    In too many cases the "sellers who do not respond" stole the device.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts   Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.
