Downloaded Security Update and Microsoft Word and iPhoto don't work

I recently downloaded the newest Security Update for my Mac, and now Microsoft Word won't launch, giving me the error message:
The application "Word" could not be launched because of a shared library error: "2<Microsoft Word><CarbonLib><CFMPriv_CarbonSound>"
and photos won't appear in iPhoto. That is, iPhoto launches, but when I click on a picture to view it, the loading rotating circle appears in the middle and the picture doesn't come up. Can anyone help? Thank you!

I've got the teacher's version of MS Office and it wasn't affected by the security update. You might have to reinstall MS to get the supporting files back.
You might ask over in the Tiger forum. Someone may have first hand experience with that.

  • HT2506 how do I make preview the default reader when I open a file? I just installed Icloud and Microsoft word and excel are still the default.

    I just installed icloud. Afterwards I am having trouble opening files becasue Microsoft excel and word aren't working now. How do I change the default to preview to open files?

    Do I have to do this for each file? 
    When someone sends me a file created in Excel, can my computer default to opening it wit Numbers?
    Thanks, your fix worked for the individual file.

  • What happened to the "Security Update for Microsoft Word 2010 (KB2899519) 32-Bit Edition" software update?

    When I deployed my software updates this particular one shows that there is some hash mismatch. So I deleted it from the package, the software update group, and the data library in the content library on my DP. 
    Then I wanted to re-download it and re-deploy it, but it does not show up at all in the "All Software Updates" section. 
    Am I missing something here?
    Thanks

    I did click that bar, Peter, and it still does not show that update. 
    Is this just me, or is this really odd?
    I was able to successfully re-deploy this update by going into the update group created by the ADR and downloading that update in my 2014 package that it needed it to go into (the ADR that I currently have is for my 2015 package that will start running in
    January, but when I ran it, it went into the 2015 package). Then I right clicked on the software update and added it to my DEC 2014 update group by selecting the "Edit Membership" option and then I checked on the "DEC 2014" box. 
    After that, I just updated the DP and then ran the necessary client actions from the Right-Click Tools from Now Micro on my collection and it installed just fine.
    The only update that shows up in the "All Software Updates" section is the 64-bit version of KB2899519, not the 32-bit that I am looking for. 
    But, I would really LOVE to know why this update is not showing up in the "All Software Updates" section. 
    Thanks

  • Excel .xls 'read only' after downloading security update

    Today all my data .xls files won't open - the message reads:
    I am able to open one .xlsx file but all the .xls will only open as 'quick view' I've recently downloaded Security Update 2015 version 1 and also updated Remote Desktop client. I restarted my macbook pro today. That's when the trouble started  I'm running Mavericks 10.9.5.
    I've tried using time machine to open older versions of files but they too cannot be accessed. I've also tried renaming the files with non-numerical names. No joy with that either.
    HELP please!!!!!

    Fixed it myself by repairing disc permissions. Embarrassed - it was an easy fix in the end.

    Hi Anne,
    Did you do this through one of the Office app updates, or did you download it directly from the Microsoft website?
    Whichever way you tried it, I would try it the opposite way this time, although simply repeating what you did before may also work.

  • I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.

    I am having problems interacting with Microsoft Office programs since the last update:cannot create a pdf through the 'print' menu in exel and both Word and Exel docs sent in Mac Mail end up being received as .dat files.
    Both these situations have cropped up on my MacBook Pro since the last update.
    Thanks for your help.
    Cheers

    The 'Winmail.dat' problem has been extensively covered in these forums, I would search for that (a Google search works well) and unfortunately I have not seen the pdf print problem before, but assuming the software is current and functions normally (other than the pdf print problem) I have no suggestion other than the obvious (but time consuming) re-installation of Office.

  • After updating to Yosemite, why will my windows in Safari and Microsoft Word close unexpectedly with no method of retrieval?

    On two different occasions after updating to Yosemite this has happened. On the first occasion I had two documents open in Microsoft Word and after looking something up on Safari, attempted to go back to the two open documents. Microsoft Word was showing as open, but the documents were nowhere to be seen and I also could open nothing else and was forced to force quit without saving my work on those documents.
    A similar thing occurred today with Safari. I had many tabs open in one window in Safari. I closed my laptop to move to another room, and upon opening my laptop again Safari was still open, but all my tabs of different research papers I had were gone. When I chose the "reopen all windows from last session" option, it reopened windows I had not had open for many days, and not the ones I had been working off that day.
    This is extremely annoying and as a scientist, I was forced to once again look up the many papers I needed for a grant proposal that I had not yet copied down reference information for. Why is this happening?

    I see you have used Clean My Mac. If you search these forums you will find that running apps like this can cause problems. Start with this link:

  • 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...

  • I am using Quicken 2007 (16.1.4) and had no problems before upgrading to OS 10.10 Yosemite.  When attempting to download security updates from my financial institutions (UBS and Fidelity), I get the following error OL-290.  Any fixes?

    I am using Quicken 2007 (16.1.4) and had no problems before upgrading to OS 10.10 Yosemite.  When attempting to download security updates from my financial institutions (UBS and Fidelity), I get the following error:  Quicken could not connect to the server.  Please try again later.  [OL-290]  I understand this is because of a mismatch between SSL certificates at the financial institutions and Apple's SSL certificate included with OS 10.10 Yosemite.  Any fixes to this issue?

    I have the same problem but Q for Mac 2015 does not meet my needs. Is there a fix for this problem?

    You need to upgrade to Office 2008 or newer, or switch to a product such as OpenOffice or iWork.

  • After updating to Mavericks "Power PC applications are no longer supported" when I try to open AppleWorks6, Microsoft Word, and Illustrator CS

    after updating to Mavericks a window pops up saying "Power PC applications are no longer supported" when I try to open AppleWorks6, Microsoft Word, and Illustrator CS.  How can I access my files. Secondly, is there a way to allow these programs to function?

    Quite honestly, a step by step guide to install Windows into Parallels could be needed by some basic or novice users, as well!
    My point is to not scare aware a user with a problem where a potential solution exists. 
    This is especially true because some of the few, but vocal, "naysayers" about this approach would use your statements to validate their continued criticism of it.
    One guy in particular criticises every option other than upgrading to Mavericks compatible software, even when the OP clearly expresses a problem where that option does not exist! ... and he was an early and very vocal proponent of the "installing Snow Leopard into a new partition - 'dual-booting' solution" when Lion was first released back in 2011!

  • Since downloading Security Update 2012, Word for Mac no longer able to save or save as documents;  program freezes after clicking save

    Since downloading Security Update 2012, Word for Mac 2004 is no longer able to Save or Save As documents.  After clicking Save or Save As, the program ceases to respond and must be Force Quit.  Any tips on making Word functional again?

    There was a second Security Update (v1.1).  Did you download that one.  It was supposed to have fixed the problems created by the prior update.  At least is solved my problems with Quicken 2007 for Mac and AppleWorks 6.

  • Chrome and Microsoft Word can't be opened!! HELP

    I can't open my Google Chrome, the windows are not showing. When I press the chrome icon, there is no pop up and when I right-click it from the dock it says 'Applications is not responding'. What do I do, this happens to my Microsoft word as well?
    You know when you open an application or software such as safari or iPhoto, there's that little dot under it on dock. Yeah that, this does not shows to the Chrome and Microsoft Word..
    This is really annoying because all my bookmarks are in Chrome and I need M. Word to do my homework.
    My Macbook Pro is OS X Yosemite, it is the 10.10.2 version
    I couldn't check the version of my Microsoft Word (I think its 2012) and Chrome
    Please Help!
    Thank You,

    Word can't open or does it open but you can't open documentts?
    If you have Office does Excell or Power Point open? If they do you can perhaps check for updates with either of them: Help > Check for Updates. You can also try to reinstall Office with your installation disks. Don't delete Office, just try to install it again.
