Frustration Rules on trying to install updates for Microsoft Office - Database daemon and Syncservices Agent will not close

I am seriously bored of this bug!  Why oh why can someone not send out a 'bug fix' to correct this constant error.  Every single time I try to update Office Microsoft Database Daemon and Syncservices block the update!

  • Cannot close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServices Agent to install Office Update

    I have tried to install several updates to Microsoft Office but can not get this completed due to not being able to close Microsoft Data Base Daemon and SyncServicesAgent.  Can you give me suggestions on closing these 2 for the updates?

    Launch Acitvity Monitor in your Utilities foilder and search for both proccess and quit.

  • So when I installed the most recent updates for microsoft office 2011 for mac, my ical info disappeared.  Still have the info on my Office calendar but it's no longer on ical.  It's also been removed from my phone.  How can I get outlook to sync with ical

    When I installed the recent updates for Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, my iCal calendar was wiped out, as was the calendar on my iPhone.  I'd rather use iCal than Office and was attempting to phase Office out altogether.  Now, all of my information is on the Office calendar but not iCal.  The iCloud version of my iCal calendar is not up to date.  In any event, I couldn't figure out how to send that info to the iCal on my mac or my phone.  How can I sync my Office calendar info to iCal?  If that's not possible, how can I get my Office calendar to sync with my iPhone?  All of my sync services are set up in iTunes and on my phone.  This happened to me once before and I spent hours on the phone with Apple and on the web trying to work it out.  I NEED MY CALENDAR!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!

    As that's not an Apple product, you may get more help by using Microsoft's Office for Mac forums:

    The other concern I have is that Office 2011 requires an Intel-based Mac and you posted in the older iMac (pre-Intel or "PPC") forums. If you have an Intel-based iMac (Apple menu > About this Mac..." will say "Intel" if you do) then I think you'll get faster and more accurate ansers to other questiosn in the Apple forums for newer iMacs here:

  • Trying to install MS Office 2011 for Mac SP 2 on my Macbook Air (Lion 10.7.3). I have to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent but can not see how to do so.  I have closed all applications.  Can anyone help? Many thanks

    Trying to install MS Office 2011 for Mac SP 2 (14.2.0) on my Macbook Air (Lion 10.7.3). I have to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent but can not see how to do so.  I have closed all applications.  Can anyone help? Many thanks

    Thanks Kurt!  I had tried all that and had tried closing both programmes from the application monitor, but SyncServices Agent refused to close.  I tried closing Launchd which is their mother application, but that just caused the screen go go blank.  In the end the two programmes let themselves be closed next time I tried the installation process so all was well.  Thanks for your help!

  • 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 updated itunes to version 11.0 and now it will not open and says it is corrupted?

    i updated itunes to version 11.0 and now it will not open and says it is corrupted?
    how do i get it to work it updated fine then asked to restart comp so i did now it will not open

    Let's try a repair install of iTunes first.
    Restart the PC. If you're using Vista or 7, now head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select "iTunes" and then click "Repair". If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel, select "iTunes", click "Change" and then click "Repair".
    Can you launch your iTunes now?

    I recently bought some new albums and can't play them on my ipod

    I just encountered the same problem on my 2 month old MBPro.  I found a work around by changing USB ports.  As for the actual cause or the reason why that worked, I dont know.  The USB port I was using works fine with my phone or other USB devices.

    I  updated to a newer itunes version and now itunes will not let me play a bunch of my music.  ***? anyone know what the deal is with that?

    How could anyone possibly know as you've provided no details.
    What happens when trying to play the media in question?
    Any errors?
    Is there an ! to the left of the media?  If so, this means iTunes is unable to locate the media file.

  • I recently updated my IPhone to IOS 7 and now it will not connect to my iTunes

    I recently updated my IPhone to IOS 7 and now it will not connect to my iTunes.

    You updated you're phone to 7.0.6? Thats impossible since you can only update to the newest OS version Apple released which is currently 7.1.1. Unless you updated before April 22 and just now posting you're question.

  • Receive the message "unable to connect to itunes store" when trying to install updates for my apps

    trying to install updates available for a number of app on my phon and keep getting the same message "unable to connect to itunes store"............

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.
