Forget all that....Word doesn't work in Yoshmite!

32 GB New  imac, working great in Mavericks (well, except the audio interface and click problem!) BUT, now...
with every click in a Word document, the beachball begins to spin. EVERY CLICK!
Painstaking work! Tried several suggestions that are out there. NO CHANGE.
Can we get a response? Acknowledgement?
And yes, I've tried importing to Pages then to Word, etc.
Any suggestions from the group greatly appreciated.
I need a fix here.

I'll say it a different way. The problem is with your system, not between Yosemite and Office. If it were the latter, Office wouldn't be working correctly for anyone. You need to find out what that issue is and fix it.
As for a "walled garden", that is not Apple's fault. They and Microsoft work with as many third party vendors as they can, sharing APIs and other OS changes to try and ensure existing software will continue to work with an upcoming OS. If changes to the OS truly breaks something in a third party app, then it's up to the vendor to supply either an update, or a full upgrade to resolve any incompatibilities. That's why have access to betas of a new OS long before the public sees one.
Personally, I won't install a new OS over an old one - ever. I set aside a smaller partition to install the new OS onto an erased partition, then install my third party apps as I have time onto that same partition. That way, I can keep working in the previous OS until I have everything installed and set to my preferences in the new OS. If something is truly incompatible with the new OS, that's when it will show, and it can't be contributed to a mess of old and new OS files.

    If the user account is associated with an Apple ID, and you know the Apple ID password, then maybe the Apple ID can be used to reset your user account password.
    Otherwise*, boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
    When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window opens.
    Select your boot volume if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Follow the prompts to reset the password. It's safest to choose a password that includes only the characters a-z, A-Z, and 0-9.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.
    You should now be able to log in with the new password, but your Keychain will be reset (empty.) If you've forgotten the Keychain password (which is ordinarily the same as your login password), there's no way to recover it.
    *Note: If you've activated FileVault, this procedure doesn't apply. Follow instead the instructions on this page:

  • ASR1002 - For DNS it seems that NAT doesn't work correctly

    Hi Folks,
    For DNS it seems that NAT doesn't work correctly
    The ASR 1002 works as a NAT-Router. But for DNS it seems that NAT doesn't work correctly.
    All DNS packets with a frame size greater than 512byte are not processed (they donїt arrive at the DNS Server), but we can't verify if they are dropped or just not processed.

    Sorry guys its everytime*

  • I can't save pic. from net. "set your download location place as "Pictures"" That button doesn't work, or button for "browse" to send a file.

    With my new browser i can't save pictures from net. I saw a question about changing file location. I can't, coz that button doesn't work. Also if i want to send a file, using mail or something, browser button for searching file doesn't work. Thanks.

    I am using Firefox for several years and never had any problem. Since i update it to the new Firefox, problems start:
    If i am trying to save a picture from ALL internet, it is not working. I am doing in the same way, like always: view image/save image as.... When i click it is not working, and all my screen doing like i make a refresh. I saw something strange files in temp after i am trying to save a picture, files with name like "etilqs" and some other letters after, the files are hidden. When i close firefox, files disappear.
    If i am trying to send an e-mail with some files, button for search files in my pc, is not working, and when i click him, same thing with my screen. It is not about what kind of mail i am using, same problem if i want to attache a file on a site, even if i try to change files location in browser setup, like : options/general/save files to/... and i hit "browse..." button, same problem like i want to attache a file. Even here, if i want to use "ADD IMAGES" option, under is browse button, it is not working, same problem with my screen. Like is angry or something.

    You might have to bite the bullet and restore the device if nothing else works. If that doesn't bring it back to life, make an appointment at an Apple Store and let take a look at it.

  • Microsoft word doesn't work with Yosemite. Please Help

    Microsoft word doesn't work with Yosemite. Please Help

    Office 2008 and 2011 work with Yosemite. If you had Office 2004 installed, then it will not work. If you had Office 2008 I would upgrade to Office 2011. In any event you should try completely uninstalling Office and then reinstalling it.

  • Technical support told me that HBO doesn't work with TiVO

    So I called technical support to activate my TiVO Premiere (cablecard) and he was successful in helping me activate and view my channels.  I currently subscribe to Fios Local, HBO and Showtime. The local channels and Showtime work, but HBO doesn't.  He told me, very unconfidently, that HBO doesn't work on Tivos, and that he's sorry for the inconvenience.  I have friends with TiVOs that work on Fios with HBO, and I've not experienced this problem stated ANYWHERE on the internet.  HBO should work. I asked him to validate my premium channels, and he insisted that HBO wouldn't work. The last time I had FIOS (January 2014) it did work.  What do I need to do to get HBO to work? 

    That tech should not have that job providing incorrect information. If I were you head over to dslreports.comgo to the Verizon Direct forum and post your issue there. Verizon employees will repsond to you and the conversation will only be seen by you and them.They are very helpful there.Here's the direct link.

    Help! I've spent hours researching this and can't find a solution...
    I upgraded 3 Intel Macs in the house to Snow Leopard last weekend. All went differently...but all were successful. I found that the connection to my HP Officejet 7410 (connected wirelessly to 802.11g Airport Express (AEX) network) was "broken". Deleted then "re-intalled". Documents could now be printed. I then found out scan function was "broken". Figured out how to scan with new Snow Leopard "baked-in" driver and Scan tab...different, but it worked.
    Then, tonight, on the eve of my birthday, I was given the green light to purchase an Airport Extreme 802.11n (dual-band) base station (AEBS). I set it up and got 2.5X speed on the two 802.11n laptops in the household. Glorious! Then I went to work to ensure print and scan functions were still operational. Tried to re-connect HP OJ 7410 to wireless network...when it found the network it asked for the "WEP" key (on previous AEX network I was secured utilizing WPA2/Personal)...I entered the WPA2/Personal password (same as previous network) and got the error message "Key must be 5 or 13 characters OR 10 or 26 length with 0-9 and A-F (hex)". So I turned off the wireless radio and instead plugged the 7410 into the AEBS via USB. Deleted the previous queue and re-installed. Found the printer no problem but now without the Scan tab or function anywhere...despite following all the recommendations found both on the HP site and here in the Apple Forums. I print fine. Can't for the life of me figure out what the problem with the now lost again Scan function is.
    Only strangeness I can think of is the following: When setting up the network(s), I had the option of naming the 5 ghz band something different. I set mine up with the same name of the 2.4 ghz network with 5ghz in parenthesis (i.e. BobbyG and BobbyG (5 Ghz)).
    Sorry for the long post but we need the scan function in the house for my wife's teaching purposes. Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated.
    Very Respectfully,
    Bobby G.

  • Mac crashes; Firefox 33.02 FORGETS all tabs (Safari doesn't!)

    MacBook Air (mid-2011), OS 10.10, 4 gig
    When the Mac crashes - increasingly frequently, sigh - Firefox forgets all open windows and current tabs... which is VERY annoying - especially as Safari DOESN'T.
    This is so infuriating that I'm about to give up on Firefox, after many years.

    This problem started for me immediately after the firefox reboot after the last update. 6.0.2

  • Privacy - remove all website data doesn't work

    Hi all,
    when I choose privacy > remove all website data - it doesn't work and all the data remains.... (details says many are in cache)
    Q: why is this and how to I remove the data?

    A well known contributor here wrote the following ...
    Cookies have acquired a worse reputation than they deserve.   They cannot hold any executable code, they just hold data and then, only data the user has provided.   You could say they're as dangerous as you let them become.
    And that I think sums it up.    Clearing all website data is counter productive insofar as it removes many cookies that do a useful job and save you time.
    Just take care where you browse, use private browsing if you are unsure and that should be enough.   As an option, I bought an app called 'Cookie'. It's about £10 and I found it very good for a whole range of other cookies like databases and flash cookies.   Read about it at ...

  • HT1338 get new mail in all accounts button doesn't work

    Clicking on the 'get new mail in all accounts' button in Mail doesn't work (after a few seconds it beeps).  I have to close the app and re-open to receive mail. I also have my account setup to automaticaly receive every 1 minute, but that doesn't work either.

    I have this problem, too.  Did you ever resolve it?

    My "Find My iPhone" says on map that my phone is here at my house...but it's not! So...I guess that "Find my iphone" feature doesn't work?  Very frustrating.  My iphone volume might be turned off ...does that make a difference if you use the sound locator on the find my iphone?
