Does Lion really not work with Microsoft Office?

does Lion really not work with Microsoft Office?

I am afraid I have reverted to Snow Leopard as I was having one problem after another with Lion and for every problem I was solving, two new ones cropped up. I won't bore you with a long list, but one example is whenever I clicked on a single saved document to view, Microsoft Word would open not only that particular document, but also half a dozen other ones as well. Also, my Canon printer did not operate properly nor would Aol. With a lot of other weird stuff happening every day, the final straw was when my Time Capsule wouldn't backup properly, but just 'hang' indefinitely.
Luckily, I have two HD disks on my iMac and I had installed Lion on HD2 while still retaining Snow Leopard on HD1. I also made a Lion installation disk for future installation when all these software bugs have been sorted.
I am back to normal service with Snow Leopard and shall not return to Lion until at least the next upgrade/patch becomes available. I so looked forward to Lion as well, but I was fighting a losing battle.
I would suggest anyone who is in my position trying to stem the tidalwave of software problems with Lion, make an installation disk for Lion and go back to SL until the next upgrade.

Re: auto save not working with microsoft office on OS Lion

Is there anyone else having issues with the auto-save/versions not working with Microsoft office on the OS Lion Upgrade?

It seems (from some testing I've just done) that:
1. It's not an explicit choie or preference - it's just there, in the background, invisible
2. Your textedit document has to have been saved once (i.e given a name), or you've reopened a previously saved document
If those conditions are met, Textedit will keep the doc saved.
My test was:
Open existing docuement
Make changes
Wait a few seconds
Quit Textedit
Reopen Textedit - and there's the doc with all the changes.
I ran the test again, quitting Textedit immeditaley I had made the change - and it saved the change successfully.
Hope that helps

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Office 2008 and 2011 are compatible with OS X Mavericks.
If you are using Office 2008, I highly recommend you to reinstall the latest Office 2008 update > http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36897 Note that Office 2008 is not supported by Microsoft anymore

Be Warned - Mavericks is not compatible with Microsoft Office 365!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Be Warned - Mavericks is not compatible with Microsoft Office 365!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I upgraded to Mavericks on 4 seperate computers, an 2 iMacs, MBPro and an MBAir and ALL four no longer connect to Microsoft Office 365 email accounts either with Office 2011 or the built in Mac apps. Apple support says "Microsoft knew for a year that Mavericks was coming out and it their job to make it compatible". I repsonded that their own Apps like Mail, Contacts and Calendar don't work either and they attempted to trouble shoot those apps only to no avail after 4 hours and a Mavericks reinstall. I have also tried an Office reinstall.
Right now I am no where, stuck between two companies who say it's the other guys fault......

Me again:
A colleagues more formal description of the problem:
We have had a major problem with people working directly off of the afp reshares with MS Word.
Word creates "Word Work Files" and usually is able to store them in either "Share/Temporary Items/uid/TemporaryItems/" or "Share/.TemporaryItems/folders.uid/TemporaryItems" as long as permissions are correct.
This works under 10.5.7 seed release 9J39 with direct attached storage, but with the Xsan reshared the word work files appear in the same folder as the opened document even though the permission for temporary items are correct.
This causes a number of issues, one being that if one user has a document open and another clears out the word work file then the open document cannot be saved.
Another issue that we have seen is where the word work file is created and then the original document disappears (although I think this may be another user housekeeping the word work files again).
We have tried to persuade users to work on local copies of the documents instead, but old habits die hard...

Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

Why does flash player not work with facebook?

Why does flash player not work with fcebook? Whenever I wish to view a video, I get the message that i need to upgrade my flash player. Then no matter how often I download and install flash player I still get the message that I need to upgrade my flash player. When I go check which version I have, I always get the message that I have the most current one. I run Mozilla Firefox with Windows. I don't know anything else.

This means you don't have the latest version installed. Update to 11.9.900.117, and Firefox will allow it: Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)

HT4759 Why does icloud Contacts not work with Windows XP?

Does anybody know why iCloud Web page does not work with Windows XP? I have tried IE, Firefox and Chrome

XP is not supported by iCloud, that's why.
iCloud System Requirements. PC.
Microsoft Windows 7 or 8
iCloud Control Panel 2.1 or later
iTunes 11 or later (for iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match)
Outlook 2007 or 2010 or iCloud.com
Safari 5.1.7 or later or Internet Explorer 9 or later (for iCloud.com and Bookmarks), Firefox 16 or later or Chrome 23 or later (for iCloud.com)

ICloud 2.1.1 not working with Microsoft Outlook 2013?

HI, I needed some assistance from the experts here.
I just had my laptop reformatted and redownload & installed the latest version of iCloud 2.1.1 Control Panel for Windows & Microsoft Office 2013.
When I click on the buttom "Apply" to setup outlook for iCloud, i got this error message at Step 4 of 7. It keeps refreshing these 2 sentences "Downloading Contacts from iCloud" & "Uploading Contacts to iCloud" & eventually errored out with this error message "Your setup couldn't be started because of an unexpected error".
I checked my Microsoft Outlook 2013 & there is an iCloud Plug-In.
But clicking on the "Go Online" button doesn't do anything.
I used to be able to click on a "Go Online/Refresh" button in the past (with Microsoft Office 2007) and able to then synchronise new contacts in my outlook to iphone. But apparently, this doesn't work anymore.
Thereafter, I tried uninstalling iCloud 2.1.1 and reinstalling it again immediately (without rebooting my laptop) & the same error message occurs when i tried to setup outlook for iCloud. And the worst thing is now the "iCloud plug-in" disappear inside Microsoft Outlook 2013 totally.
I tried reading several threads and got confused.
Is iCloud 2.1.1 Control Panel for Windows not compatible with Microsoft Outlook 2013 yet?
Do I just have to wait for a new release from Apple or did i do something wrong in the installation of the softwares?
Aprpreciate the assistance from some experts here.

Well it's now the 14th and no replies, so have you sorted it.
I could not get Outlook 2013 working with the control panel, although was working it was saying it was not configured.
Worse still tried going back to Outlook 2007 and it did not want to know, in the end a disk image restore was required.
I will try Outlook 2013 again in a few months maybe.
