Has anyone downloaded Microsoft 8 for Mac

I have two discs that have vehicle owner's manuals that I would like to use. They are made for PCs. Can I install Microsoft Windows 8 for Mac and make it work?

You can install Windows via bootcamp or third party programs such as Parallels or VMWare which offers virutalization software. I would suggest going to your local library and running the software on a native PC as it might cause compatibility issues with your mac.

  • How long does it take to download Microsoft 2011 for Mac

    I am downloading Microsoft 2011 for Mac on a brand new IMAC, and its taking 4 hours to download, it shows that I have four more hours to install, this can't be correct. Does anyone know what is going on with it?  Thanks

    How long something takes to download depends on several things, the speed of your connection for one, another is if the server you're downloading from is very busy it can slow down. I would say be paitent.

    I second LibreOffice as it's the most recent fork, however NeoOffice and OpenOffice will also work.
    Just say No money to Redmond!
    Also the old Ready Set Go! will be having a Lion version out soon.
    It's a low cost page layout program (like Indesign but without the high price) and can make booklets etc better, import the excel grpahics from LibreOffice.

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

  • 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!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Microsoft Office 2011 - Has anyone downloaded this and is it useful? More importantly I cannot find it in the App Store.

    Microsoft Office 2011 - Has anyone downloaded this and is it useful? More importantly I cannot find it in the App Store.

    Hello,
    There are some Microsoft product like Windows Phone 7 Connector on the Mac App Store but for the moment Office is not there.
    In an interview last year Microsoft’s Amanda Lefebvre told Mobilized : “It’s something we are looking at”.
    http://allthingsd.com/20110127/microsoft-considering-whether-to-bring-office-to- apples-mac-app-store/
    If you have applications like iWork or the free OpenOffice (http://www.openoffice.org/) you will be able to read files created by Microsoft Office.

  • Issues with Microsoft Word for mac closing when I try to open old or newly downloaded documents

    When I download a document from my professor, or try to open an older document, my word automatically quits. If it's already closed and I try to open a document, it will show the dot at the bottom of the icon that it's loading to open but it quickly disappears and quits itself. Is anyone else experiencing this issue or know what I can do to fix it? Thanks.

  • My Microsoft Word for Mac hasn't worked since I downloaded Yosemite. documents can't be save, edited or closed

    My Microsoft Word for Mac hasn't worked since I downloaded the upgrade to Yosemite.  Documents can't be saved, edited or closed

    Hi There,
    I have similar issues with the whole MS Office solution since I "upgraded' towards Yosemite:
    when I use Cmd+W or the "close" menu option to close a Word file, Word crashes down (I always send a message to Microsoft but I guess this is more related to Yosemite or to its installation; consequence is it become very difficult to close a file, as it re-opens it the next time :-(
    same thing for Excel and PowerPoint
    When I try to save in PDF format a Word file containing several sections, it produces one PDF file per section - wasn't before Yosemite
    Excel crashes down much more often than before because of lack of memory
    Well, if someone has a suggestion, I would be grateful, 'cause it is becoming actually boring - and counter-productive !

  • I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac through the Apple website.. I have downloaded all from the disk into my Mac, no problem with all the other Word etc, but Outlook is asking for the key number: I have put it in but its obviously not the right one...????

    I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac through the Apple website.. I have downloaded all from the disk into my Mac, no problem with all the other Word etc, but Outlook is asking for the key number: I have put it in but its obviously not the right one...???? 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
