Downloading Microsoft Office for Mac

Im trying to download Microsoft Office for Mac...When I got to Installation screen a pop up box stated I must close Safari before continuing, but Safari is not open, I tried to hit continue but the box wouldn't go away and the installation will not continue with installation?

I figured it out by checking out another question! It is possible to have safari open without any pages showing up...Check to see if there is a dot under Safari, if so right click (click and hold down) then a box pops up and hit Quit...this took care of the problem!

No, only for apps available on the App Store. Office is not one of them.

Unable to install microsoft office for mac

I want to download Microsoft Office for Mac v.X to my new MacBook, however, when I try to install I get an error message saying "Powerpc applications are no longer supported". Anyway around this as I still have a user key on this software available

No way around it. You must upgrade to Office 2011.
This forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to Microsoft Office in any way. I suggest you post Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products.

In the box with the disk came the product key, have put it in and it doesnt work. Please help..x

unfortunately - you can not. you can't even buy outlook by itself at microsoft's own website.
does it have to be outlook? maybe you can get away with using something else that's outlook compatible.
how about trying Thunderbird for Mac OS?
or maybe you can call apple and let them know you purchase the wrong version - they might give you a break and just pay the difference for the home and business version.
good luck

I bought microsoft office for mac but I cannot figure out how to download it

I purchased microsoft office for mac, I created a microsoft account but I cannot find where to download the office program

You can purchase and download from www.mactopia.com. If you have purchased the license, then you can download the trial version at mactopia.com and install your license in the trial copy to get the fully licensed version.

Where can I download a single license for Microsoft Office for Mac?

Where can I download a single license for Microsoft Office for Mac? On microsoft.org you have to buy 3 licenses for $150. I just want to download the home and student suite for my own computer. Thanks.

eBay also sell those license, or u can purchase them straight off microsoft after installing micrsoft office. But there are free MS Office alternative like Libreoffice mentioned.
But my favourite one is OpenOffice... it supports 64 bits and its open source which means there are free upgrades and extensions availble to download for specific need.

I downloaded microsoft window for mac and it will not open

I purchased a downloadable version of microsoft office for mac from softwarespeedy.com. It downloaded fine but when I try to access any of the applications (word, excel etc) all I get is the spinning color wheel and it bogs everything else. I have to force quit it to stop it.
I have uninstalled it 4x and get the same result. The software company says that it is my computer.
I have a 2008 macbook and I am running Mac OS X version 10.6.8.
Can anyone help?

It's a bit more complicated than that because Office installs files outside of the Applications folder. See the following:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper 2.0.1
    2. AppDelete 3.2.6
    3. Automaton 1.50
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner 2.1.0
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash 1.8.2
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller 1.15.1
10. Spring Cleaning 11.0.1

Rebuilding Microsoft Office for Mac - won't rebuild

I have Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. I only have Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. I do not have Outlook.
When I open up any one of the three (Word, Excel, or Powerpoint), i get the following message:
"There is a problem with the Office database. To use the database, verify that you have the correct permissions or rebuild it using the Database Utility.
The Office database stores your personal information, such as the Scrapbook and Outlook messages and contacts. To learn how to verify or change your permissions, click Cancel, and then in the Outlook Help, click Go Online, search
for “database permissions” and follow the instructions. To rebuild the database, click Rebuild.’’
I then click on Rebuild and get the following response:
"There is a problem with Office Database.
Office might be unable to access the database or the database file might be damaged. Without the database, thou might be unable to use the Scrapbook and other features that store your personal information.
To rebuild the database, open Microsoft Office 2011 / Office, and then open the Microsoft Database Unitity. For more information, open the Database Utility application, and on the Help menu,click Database Utility Help."
Then, when I try to rebuild the database, i get the following info.
step 1 of 5 - scanning
step 2 0f 5 - verifying
step 3 0 f5 - copying records to new database …
step 4 of 5 - recovering data ..
step 5 of 5 - finishing ….
Your database could not be rebuilt [-5000]
I even tried to create a new identity but it won't do that either. I get the response:
"New identity could not be created"
Does anyone know what I should do?
I will need exact steps, so please do not leave anything out.
Thanks.

Hi,
You'd probably try repairing disk permissions first, then try again. Follow these steps:
In the Finder, click Go, and then select
Home. Open the Applications folder. Open the Utilities folder.
In the column on the left side of the Disk Utility window, select your Macintosh HD.
Click the First Aid tab.
Click Repair Disk Permissions.
After the repair is completed, restart the computer.
Also, please note that this forum focuses on questions and feedback for Windows-based Microsoft Office client. Since your query is directly related to

It's recommended to download and install

Why is my Microsoft Office for Mac programs no longer compatible with 10.7 Lion?

"Power PC applications no longer supported" the Microsoft Office Pack was Mac versions of Word, Powerpoint, etc. and when I downloaded Lion upgrade to operating system, it gave me message above. What's up wth that? Must I go buy a newer version of Microsoft Office for Mac or rely on Pages, which I like, but for ease of use between home and office, I also like to have Word. Anybody else having same issue?

Neo Office
OpenOffice
Google Docs
iWork
Are all excellent alternatives for Office.
Here's a full listing of Lion compatible applications:

Will Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 work on my iMac with Mountain Lion OS?

Help! I have downloaded Mountain Lion (10.8.4) on my iMac. Now I can't open or use files that contained labels I made with Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 because Mountain Lion does not support Power PC and Microsoft Excel. If I purchase and download Office for Mac 2011, will it allow me to continue using these label files? If not, how can I get a database for my iMac that will enable me to create labels and catalogues?

Thanks, Niel. I'm glad to know purchasing the Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 will enable me to retrieve and use my "ancient" database label files. I did try to get OpenOffice, but my computer says "'OpenOffice' can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer" and my "security preferences allow installation of only apps from the Mac App Store and identified developers." How can I do this? I really don't know about the inner workings of my computer!

Is OSX lion compatible with microsoft office for mac 2008

Can anybody out there please give me a definitive answer to this question: Is OSX Lion compatible with Microsoft Office for Mac 2008? The technical support people of both Apple and Microsoft could not provide me wth a useful answer to a question that must interest hundreds of thousands of people, if not millions. I don't want to download the new OS and then encounter nasty problems.

Yes. The only problem you could face, is if you want to reinstall MS Office 2008 on Lion - this is not possible, because the installer runs on Rosetta, which is no longer supported in Lion. But if you already have Office installed, there should be absolutely no problems.

Reinstalling Microsoft Office for Mac?

Hey Guys,
Quick question from a relatively new Mac user. Ive run Mac for about a year but havent gotten into the deep end of how some of the mechanics work. I have Microsoft Office for Mac uninstalled but it is still sitting in Applications. Unfortunately Open Office doesnt support the complex margins of my resume and I have to reinstall Office with its host of pop ups and add ons. I still have my product key but cannot find a .dmg file anywhere. I looked at downloading a trial and punching in my key but all downloads required payment up front. I am also not aware of what version I have. Also would it be possible to order a copy on disk or is that extra?
Thanx guys you always are able to answer my questions.
~Douglas

I have Microsoft Office for Mac uninstalled but it is still sitting in Applications.
Then you haven't uninstalled it! So which files did you uninstall?
I still have my product key but cannot find a .dmg file anywhere.
You probably trashed it. More than likely the uninstaller was inside the .dmg file.
I am also not aware of what version I have.
Highlight the icon>File>Get Info.
Also would it be possible to order a copy on disk or is that extra?
You would need to ask Microsoft since it's their product. Where did you purchase MW from? If from the AS, open up the App Store app which is on your Dock. Click on "Purchases." Otherwise, you should contact the vendor from where you purchased MW from.

Excel doc created on PC, edited on my Mac, sent back to PC won't print properly. Do I have to buy Microsoft office for Mac?

I have to complete their Excel form, send back, they add to it, they want to print it and say it won't print as I see it. I don't want to buy Microsoft office for Mac just for this... any ideas?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
A couple of ideas... when you exported the document did you check "do compatibility check" for Word? If not that's probably it. Other solutions: - OpenOffice, or NeoOffice play well with MS Word. Either of them are free downloads.
