Compatibility issues between Office 2004 and Snow Leopard?

Hi,
Received and installed Snow Leopard today and I seem to be having issue after issue.
I've managed to sort a few issues but Excel 2004 keeps crashing my mac. When I say crashing, the screen turns blue and reverts back to the log in screen without warning.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Try Neo Office, if you can't follow the directions already supplied:

  • Home Sharing between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard

    Hi
    I have MacBook Pro both at work and at home. The one at work has Mountain Lion with the latest version of iTune and the one at home has Snow Leopard with iTune 10.7.
    I want to share movies on my iTune account between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard. However, it doesn't seem to work....
    How can I solve this problem?
    FYI - I am not a big fan of Mountain Lion and do NOT want to upgrade my home computer to Mountain Lion.

        I am not sure why you can't access iCloud, using a browser? Then you have the same address book, so long as you are connected to the internet.  https://www.icloud.com/
        No email involved. From the browser, you can download individual iCards or all of the individual cards, BUT unfortunately, not the Groups. So, you have to fiddle on the SL machine with keeping the groups organized.
        Up until recently, I have been able to sync Contacts from ML (which stays synced to iCloud) to SL this way:  copy the /Users/~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ folder from the ML computer to the SL computer by dragging the icon onto the dock's AddressBook icon, this should retain all the group info.  But, recently, this has ceased being complete.

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard compatibility issues with Office 2007 and Windows 7

    I just updated my platform to Windows 7 and upgraded from Microsoft Office 2003 to Microsoft Office 2007.  The PDF printer did not download and realized that there are compatibility issues with Office 2007.  How could I get this fixed?

  • Known backwards compatibility issues between Robohelp 9 and Robohelp 8?

    Hi Group,
    In addition to avoiding the tasks in the Review menu, does anyone know of any other backwards compatibility issues encountered while opening and using files generated in RoboHelp 9 from within Robohelp 8? Thanks, gail

    Welcome to the forum.
    Simply the fact that RoboHelp 8 will not open a project that has been run in RoboHelp 9. Sure you might well open a project by deleting the CPD and perhaps the XPJ and using the HHP, however I would not recommend that except in an emergency.
    What I am not clear on is how you link that to "avoiding the tasks in the Review menu." What has that got to do with the question?

  • Can I use Unix symbolic links between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard Mail folders?

    After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I partitioned my iMac HD to have two partitions: Macintosh HD has Mountain Lion; I reinstalled Snow Leopard on Macintosh HD 2. Best part: you can access your user-created files from EITHER disk partition. But not so OS X Mail. I wanted to revert to Snow Leopard, since I don't like the iOS-like Mountain Lion (swipe THIS!), but Mail is a problem since all my Snow Leopard Mail was successfully migrated over to Mountain Lion during upgrade.
    Is there a way to use Unix symbolic links between actual OS X Mail folders in Mountain Lion and OS X Mail in Snow Leopard?
    It seems the (trial) symbolic link created pointed to a blank file.

    It's not a matter of "letting" each maintain its own database, William. By default, I believe, I have no control over what gets written. In fact, if there were a way to set a preference that says, use this index named "spotlightindexSL' only [while in SL], that might solve my problem. Then when booting up in ML, it would just go after the index it last made.
    My guess is that while I am in ML or SL and not the other, there are all sorts of changes to files and the system freaks and says "Oh, now look at what a mess I've made — there are all sorts of files unaccounted for. Now I have to rebuild the whole thing."
    I have 2 had drives in my Mac, both 500GB. One (Working Disk) has no operating system and all my files, and the other drive is partitioned 470/30gb with SL on the 470 and ML in the 30. When I restart in either OS, the auto-start Indexing as if for the very first time, and do both hard drives (in total: 3 partitions of files, not counting the ML Restore partition).
    I know it all uncoventionally — just wanted to see what my $20 new OS will cost me in software upgrades, in particular my $1800 Adobe Design Suite CS4 and a few others.

  • Syncing contacts between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard?

    One of my computers is running Mountain Lion, and the other is running Snow Leopard and so does not have access to iCloud. Is there any way to sync Contacts between the two computers?

  • Word 2004 and snow leopard

    Hi, new poster here.  TIA for any advice, info.
    I am being dragged into the 2010's and find I must upgrade  from Leopard to Snow Leopard or Lion.  I have a 40,000+ word document created in Word 2004.  I will be very upset if I cannot access it after upgrading.  I understand Lion and Mountain Lion do not support Word 2004.   I believe Snow leopard does though it may be a bit slow. 
    If I upgrade to Word 2008 or 2011 will either or both open my 2004 document while running in Snow leopard?  Will the document be automatically converted to 2008 or 2011 format and thus be OK with Lion/Mt. Lion or would I have to copy/paste or move it somehow into the new program?
    Thanks

    Word 2004 will run under Snow Leopard, and I never found it to be particularly slow, But either Word 2008 or Word 2011 should be able to open your 2004 documents with no problems. Either version will continue to save in the older Word .doc format unless you explictly save it in the newer .docx format.
    Microsoft offers a 30-day trial version of 2011 if you want to test it for yourself:
    https://www.microsoft.com/mac/trial
    It'll run on any Intel-based Mac with Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later.

  • Issues with Safari 4 and Snow Leopard

    I had just installed Snow leopard and tried to run safari. I got an error message that said you can not run safari 4 public beta with this version of Mac os X. I went to the apple website and downloaded the new version of Safari 4 4.0.3 for Leopard and tried installing that. When the download completed i ran the dmg. file and began installing it was going smooth until i received another error message that said you can not install this version of safari because my Mac os X was not new enough and said i need version 10.5.8 or newer. I am running the newest operating system for a Mac. So i had figured that the version that i was trying to install was incompatible with snow leopard. If you encounter this problem rerun the installation disc and click optional installs this file contains the compatible version for the Safari web browser. When you open the file you choose the optionalinstalls.mpkg once in this file it will walk you through the onscreen installer follow the instructions and when you get to the installation type click the arrow on the left hand side of the applications and this will bring down a list of optional installs select the safari check box and click continue this will solve the safari issue.

    I know this is already marked as solved, but wanted to add to this.
    I "cleaned up" my dock by making separate stacks with links to the apps so I could put all internet in one, all games in another and so on.
    After I installed SL I too was having this problem, it wasn't until I went through the finder to each individual program and opened that way did I realize that my stacks were no longer pointing to the updated programs.

  • Trouble syncing Calendars between iOS 5 and Snow Leopard

    I updated my iPhone and iPad to iOS5 and the iCloud stuff seems to work great between them.
    However, my Macbook is running Snow Leopard and I am unable to sync my calendars onto it from my iPhone or iPad.
    Syncing my calendars with the Mac over iCloud would be ideal, but even the wired connection doesn't seem to sync the calendar anymore, as it always did.
    Any suggestions how to fix this?

    Do the referenced links on this tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2551 say that calendar syncing is even possible with Snow Leopard?  If not, you may wish to switch to another webhost such as those found on http://www.comparewebhosts.com/ if upgrading to Lion or installing Windows is not an option.

  • Sharing users between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard -- will this break preferences?

    I have now ML and SL in dual boot and want to share users (on an external drive), and try out the new XCode.  I wonder, however, if I should rather use different users, so XC on SL won't have to deal with "corrupted" preferences that new XC might write to my users folder.  Also I thought it would be a good idea to switch off Spotlight and TimeMachine in ML for external harddrives, so they will still be readable from SL.  Anyone has some tips on how to use SL and ML with shared external drives?

    You can upgrade the iMac for no extra charge - sign into the App Store there, download and install 10.8.
    I recommend that you make a backup (Time Machine is probably the easiest method) before you install, and make sure that you are not using any applications that are incomptible with 10.8 (eg Office 2004) - other than that, it should go smoothly.

  • Compatability with New VM Fusion and Snow leopard 10.6.2

    Any problems using the new version of VM Fusion with Snow Leopard 10.6.2

    I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate in VMWare Fusion and haven't had any problems with it at all. I don't print anything with it, though (I don't print much of anything on the Mac, either). It did hijack some file associations, like .doc, and wanted to launch the Windows VM with them, but that's easily fixed.

  • Did library's change between 10.5 and snow leopard...?

    So my HD died, i had the drive restored by a company, they saved everything thank god...(not having done a back up for 3 months was a bad idea!!!)
    but it was running snow leopard
    when they installed my new HD, they installed 10.5 and my aperture library's are just not loading up all...im getting broken images, random ones do show up, others are visible but have yellow triangle warning
    and i'm thinking the main problem might be that snow leopard was writing the directories a little bit different?
    can that be it?

    That seems to be file corruption. I don't believe that Snow Leopard changed the library.
    You can check the affected files through the finder by going into the library and trying to find the files there, then see if they open in photoshop/preview for instance.

  • Compatibility issues between PS3.0 and Windows Vista

    Have PS3 for Windows XP. Have had it a while and it wouldn't load on my old computer because the harddrive didn't have enough space.  Now trying to load it on to HP Pavilion bought last spring.  When I tried to load it, I got the error window with: compatibility issues with this software.  Windows didn't find a solution.  Went to adobe.com and tried update for PS3.0 which I thought should work.  it said 3.0.1.  Won't work.  What am I missing?  Am I missing anything?  Will Adobe work as I want it to work?  As it's supposed to work?

    Well, it's not "supposed" to work in Vista. The earliest version of Elements that officially works in Vista is 5, with the special patch. However, some people have had success running earlier versions in XP compatibility mode.

  • Is there a compatibility issue between Acrobat 10 and MS Office 2010?

    I'm having a problem printing to a PDF with MS Office 2010.  The program locks-up before the filename screen is displayed.  I can SAVE AS a PDF, but not print to a PDF.  I has worked previously, but started having problems a couple of months ago.  I've run both Acrobat and MS Office "fix it" programs, but no help.  Acrobat seems to work fine with Quicken.  Any ideas?   Bruce

    Hi Michael,
    Interesting, and yes, I can from the Acrobat Ribbon in MS Word.   Now I'm really confused...must be something associated with the Acrobat printer driver I have installed.

  • Office X and Snow Leopard

    Hi, I'm considering upgrading to SL an iMac used by someone who uses Word and Excell in Office X suite. Is this a no go zone or is it do-able with the usual font clean-up issues?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    is it do-able with the usual font clean-up issues?
    If you are concerned enough to ask, you might be better advised to either wait for 10.6.2 and/or install iWork 09/pages instead.
    Remember, the fast majority of users aren't on here...this is like spending the day in an emergency room.
