Download Surprise - Thanks Microsoft!

I had 4 days to go in my month and 1.5gbs left on my 5GB plan. My heaviest use days are in the 250 mb range so I thought I was good. I checked yesterday and I had blown by the limit by 100mbs with 2 days left. I use a USB 760 with a cradle pint as a home network since August and haven't topped 4gb before. After pulling my modem from the cradlepoint (sorry kids, no internet till Friday) I checked my home computer and surprise! Microsoft Works has (without permission) magically appeared on my desktop at a price of 730-odd mbs of download. Has anyone experienced or heard of this? I don't even know who to complain to. In this world of cable and dsl unlimited downloads, it's those of us who are geographically challenged and only have wireless or satellite internet access with download limits that seem to be forgotten...

Sorry for the lack of details. This is a new desktop that hadn't been connected to the internet for any extended time until this past weekend when I finally got the log -in right with a new usb adapter. After that it may have been left on and alone for extended periods. There may have been some resident bloatware app on this Acer computer, but geez...

On my ipad, is it possible to use stylus or fingers to copy and paste a specific area on a document, PDF., web page, etc... It would be great to pull specific areas out of a PDF. And paste into a note app I'm thinking of downloading. Thank you.

Yes. I do it using Adobe Reader for PDF files, Pages for Word files, I can copy from Safari or iCab Mobile and paste into another app. I use my finger even though I do have a stylus. I rarely use my stylus anymore, but yes it's possible.

How can I download the latest Microsoft Office for my Macbook Air through the App Store?

How can I download the latest Microsoft Office for my Macbook Air through the App Store?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Microsoft Office is not available in the App Store. Instead, you can purchase it in the Microsoft site > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
Note that there are other apps that do the same, like Apple iWork (available in the Mac App Store) or LibreOffice, open-source and free. I recommend you to give LibreOffice a try.
If you are interested in Office for Windows, you can find it in the Microsoft Store or at shops

While they certainly don't make it clear, if you actually select the link on CNET, it's only an update file (Office2011-1434UpdateEN.dmg) which is listed on Microsoft's site:
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads?pid=Mactopia_Office2011&fid=ECF3967A-2593 -4E94-8670-CE555E20047F
They used to allow for a trial download, but I haven't been able to track that down in a while. If the original poster has their key, it can be downloaded directly from Microsoft here:

I have downloaded updates for microsoft office and now the internet wont work - any ideas?

I have downloaded updates for microsoft office and now the internet wont work - any ideas?

If you want to simply do a 'fresh' install (versus wiping out all of your data and doing a 'clean' install) simply boot to your Recovery partition (hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and when the Recovery screen appears, elect to freshly install OS X.
Don't know that will solve your problem, though... did you do the 'automatic' update or download the update as a disk image (.dmg)? I wouldn't think that would be causing your problems...

HT1444 If i download the new OS X Mountain Lion to my Macbook Pro that has Snow Leopard, will i lose my apps and downloads (such as: Microsoft word, powerpoint, excel, oovoo, skype) and will i lose all of my pictures/documents and information?

If i download the new OS X Mountain Lion to my Macbook Pro that has Snow Leopard, will i lose my apps and downloads (such as: Microsoft word, powerpoint, excel, oovoo, skype) and will i lose all of my pictures/documents and information?

I should just change the OS and leave all your apps and data alone. That said, if any of your apps are old and use Rosetta (ppc apps), they won't run under Mountain Lion.
Make sure you take a good Time Machine or Clone backup before you convert.
You can check compatibility of your apps here:

Download Problem On Microsoft Website

I have tried repeatedly to download SQL Server Express 2014 but keep getting the error:
An unknown error occurred while processing your request. This is most likely due to a connection failure. Please try again.
B01OWX-120bb4a7-757f-487a-92b3-cd80e123ba2e
Where is the file now?
How do I get it?

Hi AabeckControls,
Based on your description, you fail to download SQL Server 2014 Express on Microsoft Website. The error you get could be due to several reasons such as network issue, broken Live account
and so on. Below are proposals for you troubleshooting this issue.
1. Please check if there are some issues with your network, make sure that the network is stable.
2. If you are using Internet Explorer, press Ctrl-Shift-P to use InPrivate Browsing and check if you can successfully download SQL Server. Or you can use Google Chrome to open the download link and check if it is successful to download SQL Server.
3. If the issue persists after performing above steps, it probably means your Windows Live account is somehow broken. Please create a new account and download SQL Server again.
In addition, you can also post the question in the Answers Hotmail forum at
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windowslive/forum/hotmail
for better answer.
Thanks,

Note that the blog article you referenced (http://portal.sivarajan.com/2011/03/active-directory-management-gateway.html) does not make any mention of applicability
to WS2008R2.
Check if you actually need this hotfix at all on WS2008R2. Based on my reading of this article
http://www.aidanfinn.com/?p=9879 , ADGMS is not needed for WS2008R2 at all, because WS2008R2 includes ADWS anyway ??
(or do I misunderstand your issue ?)

Must I download a specific microsoft product to protect my mac?

I have gotten several warnings that I must install a microsoft product called 'silverlight 5' to keep my computer safe.
1. I have always tried to keep my apple clean of any microsoft products because I doubt their security, now I'm being told I must install some microsoft to be secure. Recently I had found 'silverlight 5, from microsoft in my applications, I had never requested it and immediately trashed it. It is since then I have been getting warnings to install it. I've never seen this type of warning before for any product.
2. In order to learn what the product is supposed to do, microsoft wants me to register with them and I have no interest in registering with them. I would like to know what microsoft silverlight 5 is supposed to do on my mac and why they think I must download it to be safe.
The Question
3. It seems to me that not getting microsoft on my mac has always been a way to protect it from the various viruses and worse that the product could allow. Should I continue to avoid microsoft contamination in spite of the fact that they are telling me I will get the microsoft effect if I DON'T install it?
4. Also how will I get my answer? Will you send an email? or what? They imply I am unsafe in the meantime without their product, thus it may be urgent.
Thank you in advance.

No. Nothing from Microsoft will protect your Mac.
Silverlight is a Microsoft application development framework not a computer protection package.
IMHO you should only use something from Microsoft when you are forced to because there is absolutely no other solution to the problem. Currently I have nothing whatsoever on my Macs from Microsoft.
On ASC, your answers are posted as replies to your question and not email.

You can purchase, install, and use that software, except for iMovie 08; iMovie 6 will run on your machine.
