Do Need to reinstall office and iLife if i upgrade to Mac OS 10.6?

Do i need to reinstall Office 2008 and iLife if i upgrade my software from Mac OS 10.5 to Mac OS 10.6??

if you do the "normal" upgrade, all you apps should still be available. If you did an erase first, then you will have to reinstall them. BUT, BEFORE you do the install, create a bootable backup, just in case anything happens (very rare, but why temp fate).

  • Need to reinstall office 11

    Ok, I lost my imac 2010 to flood from Sandy, but the drive was saved. Water never hit it. It works fine in voyager enclosure. It was bought with office 11 preinstalled by apple. I have copied over to the new imac but when I try opening it a window ps up saying I need to reinstall office. I cannot find any activation codes in any emails and cannot figure out how to download and install a new copy. Is there a way to do this without having to buy another license again?

    I was able to find my office 11 disk outside on the deck after the hurricane, and I was able to find my product key. I just wish Apple would have the product key for all software listed along with the serial number for the computer that it was preinstalled so it can easily be obtained if needed.

  • I need help reinstalling office for my iMac

    I need to reinstall Office 2011 for my iMac. I downloaded it off the web and do not have the email that has the product key. I have found out how to uninstall it, but need to know how to reinstall it.
    Thank you

    Since Office is not an Apple product, contact MS support or post your question on the MS Mac forums, as this forum is for troubleshooting apple software update for Windows, and not related to MS Office in any way.  The MS Mac forums are where the Mac Office gurus hang out.

  • I need to reinstall Photoshop and Premiere Elements 10. Where can I find the download link?

    I need to reinstall Photoshop and Premiere Elements 10 on my Windows Laptop. Where can I find the download link?

    If you registered your copy with adobe, you may find download links by going to the main page of adobe.com and clicking on My Adobe and working through the links there. If they're still available there, save the downloads this time, don't just run them, since adobe only makes those available for about 3 years.

  • Do i need to reinstall programs and applications like FCP after upgrading to the new Lion OS?

    Do i need to reinstall programs and applications like FCP after upgrading to the new Lion OS?

    I've installed Lion over Snow Leopard and all my non Apple software is still here - you may want to check if your software will work with Lion and I would definately recommend having a bootable backup in case anything goes wrong

    my cd/dvd drive isn't working and i want to upgrade my mac os x10.5.8, how can i upgrade without the software CD

    I think not.   You will need to order a disc from Apple quoting your serial number, as many of these discs are machine specific.   So unless you can get your drive working I think you will have to take a trip to an Apple store.  
    Indeed, you have an old computer that may not be worth the cost of repair ... but it is still worth seeking Apple advice and a visual inspection.   It just might be something not too drastic.

  • Copy Microsoft Office and iLife from old hard drive to new?

    Hi,
    I recently upgraded the Hard drive (to 500 gigs) and OS (to Snow Leopard) on my 2007 MacBookPro.
    I also bought a USB enclosure kit so I can use my old 100gig Hard drive as an external storage device.
    My old 100gig hard drive has Office for Mac04 and iLife (as well as the original OS 10.4 Tiger).
    Not sure if this matters, but iLife came pre-installed when I bought the Mac in 2007, therefore I have no disc. I also do not have the product keys or disc for Office anymore.
    My question is this: Is it possible to copy or re-install iLife and/or Office from my 100gig hard drive to my new 500gig hard drive? Or, is there any way to still run either of these apps from my external drive?
    I still have my OSX Tiger disc and everything else that came packaged, but I don't think iLife is on that disc.
    Thank you for reading =)

    Thank you very much for the fast reply. You are awesome. I did not even think about Migration Assistant, you definitely set me on the right path.
    As for Firewire that is another story.
    After an extensive amount of reading I concluded that I would have to buy a new hard drive enclosure with firewire ports because USB to FireWire is incompatible (although such cables/extensions exist, there are myriad stories indicating that USB to FireWire cables will most likely damage the ports and the connected device.)
    Instead of buying another enclosure I decided to try Migration Assistant with USB and it works very well. I am sure the speed is miraculously slower than Firewire but that did not bother me, copying 10 gigs took less than 20 minutes.
    As of this moment, everything that I copied works as it should. I will post again if something went wrong. I hope all this information is useful to somebody else too. Thanks again Michael!

  • Crash on Update to Thunderbolt 1.2, need to reinstall Lion and failures!

    Yesterday, after the WWDC'12, Apple released many software updates, including Thunderbolt Software Update 1.2.
    When I tried to update it, I got a error, a failure that Software Update could not find this update to download it. So I close it and tried again. In this second time, it "worked".
    So, after it, my Macbook Pro (2011) restarted and then I could not login on my Administrator account anymore! I put my password and it was stuck loading for a long time, without going forward. (PS: Guest account worked fine).
    After several reboots, I tried cmd+R, used the Lion Recovery and reinstalled Lion over the old Lion.
    It didn't work.
    So I went to cmd+R again, and tried scan the disk (no errors found) and repair the permissions.
    My MBP rebooted again and, when I put my password to my Administrator acc, I got a Kernel Panic! And this also repeated every time I rebooted my Mac.
    So, I decided to erase my Macintosh HD and install a clean Lion. The installation went fine (so it seems, because I left it over night), but when I woke up this morning, my Mac was stuck again, in this screen:
    Now, what did I do? I don't have any other ideas...
    Not sure if relevant, but yesterday I also deleted my non admin account (which it was that I used as primarily), because it was a little slow and I decided to erase it. But I think I couldn't mess up things because, for delete it, I was logged into my admin account and used System Prefs > Users & Groups (or something like that... my SO is not in English)
    PS: English is not my native language, so forgive for any mistakes I could have made.

  • Upgrading to OS10.9.2 I lost my Office 2004 Student Teacher program.  Can I reinstall Office or does 9.2 upgrade no longer supports 2006 Student Teacher?  Tnx,

    When upgrading from OS 10.8.6 to 10.9.2 I lost my MS Office 2004 Student Teacher editon software. 
    This included Word, Excel, Power Point and Entourage.
    Is this because 9.2 does not support this older Office program?  Do I need to up grade Office or do I just need to reinstall 2004 Office.
    I no longer can enter any of my spreadsheets and its a disaster for me so far. 
    Can anyone ease my mind?  Thanks.  Jack

    Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks
    If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

    Regards,

    There are two methods you could use to perform the upgrade but first, back up your computer. As X42.. suggests, a bootable clone is a very good idea - use SuperDuper! or CarbonCopyCloner to make an exact duplicate of your computer's hard drive. This can be used as a backup and can also be used to boot into Snow Leopard should you need to do so.
    To upgrade to Lion (1) download Lion and let it upgrade your computer. Your data and old programs will remain on the computer untouched. During the upgrade process Lion may find some plug-ins or programs that are definitely incompatible and put them into a folder labeled Incompatible Programs. (2) restart your computer from the clone backup you made and download Lion. Now use the installer to erase the computer's hard drive and install Lion on the computer's drive. Then use Setup Manager to migrate your data and programs.
    In either case, as X42.. said, you may have some incompatible software which needs to be upgraded and some may no longer be supported. That's one of the advantages of having the Snow Leopard bootable external drive. I found that the simple upgrade (1) worked for nearly every computer I upgraded. I had one computer that required the erase and install (2) method.

  • Hard Drive Died need to reinstall Audition and Sounbooth on new SSD. Both products are registered on adobe site with s/n's

    The hard drive on my Dell died and the backup discs and external drives were useless in getting me back to normal. How do I reinstall these products or am I forced to purchase more?

    Just reinstall them, then use your serial number to activate them.
    If you already activated more than once, you may need to Contact Customer Care.

  • Do i need to reinstall office when we change volume licensing to O365

    Hi,
    We have Office pro plus installed and licensed with open value licensing. Now we have plans to order O365 midsize plan.
    Do we have to reinstall all desktop offices or could we use that office version what we have installed under volume licensing?

    Which version of your Office Pro Plus? Office 2013 ProPlus or Office 2010 ProPlus?
    If it is Office 2013 ProPlus, you can use the current Office 2013 with Office 365.

  • Need to reinstall SL and Boot Camp...

    Alright, I am tired and annoyed so this is going to be short.
    I had 10.5, I think I had a virus, or I possibly corrupted the **** out of my Safari, which, in turn, corrupted the **** out of my entire Leopard install. I used Boot Camp and installed Windows XP SP 3, along with 3ds Max. I did not have time to back up my XP files (as I am very lazy and it was only about a week ago.) After Snow Leopard installed, my Mac partition stopped working all together, then when I started Windows, it seemed to work fine, I left it go into "standby." When I went to bring WIndows out of standby, the screen flashed for a second, the BLue bar reloaded itself, then everything stopped working. I rebooted the machine and now I can't get past ether the Partition selection screen if I hold Option, or the BLue screen if I load the Mac partition.
    I have two questions, now that I think about it:
    1) If I reinstall Snow Leopard fresh, can I do that without getting rid of my Windows Partitions, or somehow recover those files after SL is installed (the windows files)?
    2) Does this sound like my HDD is failing and/or horrible virus that killed my hard-drive?

    Installing Snow will not have any impact on your Windows partition. You can erase the OS X partition if you want, and that will not cause the Windows partition to be touched. If you must erase the OS X volume to reinstall OS X, then you will not be able to recover any files. You would need to do that first.
