Hi just upgraded to lion , now i can't use "word" can this be for real?

hi just upgraded to lion, now i cant use "word" help please

If it's Word 2004 or earlier, it's for real. That is a PPC app and it is no longer supported in Lion. You need an Intel version of Office. You and a lot of others who didn't know are out in the cold.

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

    Hello,
        I ran into the same issue today.  I upgraded to Lion and my MS Office 2004 wouldn't work.  As QuicktimeKirk said, that version was built for the PowerPC chip, not the current Intel chips.  If you want to stay with MS-Office, there is no work around.  You'll have to upgrade.
        My solution was to buy MS-Office Mac Home and Student 2011 - Family Pack from Amazon.com.
        I chose the download version and paid $99.82.  Here's the link:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004E9SKBO/ref=oh_o00_d_i00_details
        I downloaded the file (~900MB) this afternoon and installed the software.  No issues with the install.  Make sure you print or screen print a copy of the license key. 
        As a side note, my old version of Quicken 2007 also wouldn't work and I had to upgrade my old version of Parallels as well.
        I hope this helps.

  • Just upgraded to lion - now my photos are just exclaimation points

    This is depressing...
    I upgraded to lion yesterday and now I find that I cannot see my photos.  If I look at them as events they appear to be there.  If I attempt to view them full (double click on the image in the event) I get a exclaimation point in place of the photo.  If I attempt to view them fullscreen (slideshow display) I see a black panel.
    Not at all the behavior I expected from the latest and greatest.
    WHAT GIVES HERE?
    Rick

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Best option: Just restore from your back up. You made one before upgrading, right?
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • I just "upgraded" to Lion - now my version of Microsoft Professional is apparently not supported. Is there a fix?

    I just installed Lion on my iMac, tried to open an Office Document and received a message " You can't open the application Microsoft Word because PowerPC applications are no longer supported." My version of Office Professional is not that old - is there a fix for this? The $29 upgrade to Lion is not worth having to replace my software.

    Your version of Office dates back to 2004 before there were Intel Macs. Lion does not support PPC-only applications such as Office 2004 so you need to upgrade it to Office 2011 which is compatible with Lion.
    You will have this same issue with any other older PPC-only applications, so they, too, will need to be updated.

  • Just upgraded to Lion now iMac runs super slow.

    Things were running just fine now everything from the internet to iPhoto is running super slow.  It hangs for about 10 seconds then moves on.  Any thoughts on what I can check to clean up performance?
    Thanks,
    Andy

    You should look at the Activity Monitor (located in /Applications/Utilities) to see what applications and processes are using up your Mac's resources.
    Best of luck.

  • Just upgraded to Lion, problem now syncing contacts onto Blackberry using Desktop Manager

    I just upgraded to Lion, got iCloud going.  Works great with my iPhone, but my husbands Blackberry no longer syncs properly using the Blackberry Desktop Manager.  Installed the latest version of that program & still no luck.  The calendar, music and photos sync fine, but all of the contacts have been wiped out now on the phone and not a single one will sync over from the mac.

    I have the same problem.  I've tried many solutions but no success.  ICloud has been a curse.  I love my Mac but if I can't sync my BB 9930, I may have to change.

    There's no need to go to the store if you don't want to. You can purchase and download the new version from the Parallels web site. In fact if you want to try it out, I believe you can do the download and get a two week trial version. Later you can purchase the serial number to make it official.
    I cannot be certain about your data, but I did not lose anything when I updated to Lion and faced a similar situation.
    Best of luck.

  • I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up the iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for that before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. Is there a way to reset the keychain password?

    I just upgraded to Lion. I was trying to set up iCloud and it asked for my "login" keychain password. I've never been asked for the keychain password before. I've tried every password I can think of and nothing works. I'm normally asked for the password to my machine when upgrading software, signing on, etc. but this is different apparently. I tried the same password and it didn't work either. I read a couple of posts and they all want to take me through Applications/Utilities but that requires knowing your password in order to change it. I don't know it. Don't remember ever setting up a keychain password. Does anyone know how to change the keychain password if you don't know the keychain password???

    Most of the time your Keychain password is the same as your login password. If you configured your computer to log you in automatically, you may not have used your login password in so long you forgot it.
    There is no way to retrieve the "login" Keychain password, but you can reset the Keychain from the Preferences menu: select it in the Keychain Access menu and select "Reset My Default Keychain". This will create a new, empty Keychain but the old one will be saved should you ever remember its password.
    The result of this is that you will have to supply passwords for everything that requires it, since without your Keychain they will no longer automatically fill themselves. However, once you supply them and store them in your new Keychain, they will be remembered.

  • Updated from Leopard to Snow Leopard, then upgraded to Lion, now my system is freezing on startup. Can anyone help?

    Updated from Leopard to Snow Leopard, then upgraded to Lion, now my system is freezing on startup. Can anyone help?

    Try a Safe Boot: Restart holding down the shift key until you (hopefully) see a grey progress bar. Once booted restart as normal from the Apple menu. Any change?
    How much RAM do you have installed?

  • Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from internet that was fine with Leopard. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Just upgraded to Lion, can't open any pdf file downloaded from the internet that was fine with Leopard before. I just got a black screen when I clicked on a pdf icon on a given internet site, and same happened with several sites that I visited. How can I overcome this obstacle ?

    Try two things with Safari not running:
    1) Launch Adobe Reader, open its preferences, select the Internet category, and check the values under "Display PDF in browser using".  If it's checked, try unchecking it.
    2) Look in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins (at the top-level of your boot volume) for something names AdobePDFViewer.plugin.  If you see such a file, try moving it to a folder named "Disabled Plug-Ins" (if such a folder exists) or onto the Desktop.
    Then see how things work.

  • Have just upgraded to Lion.  In all applications a box now appears that encloses topics, etc on the screen.  It is a problem as it also randomly moves around the screen.  Have no idea what the purpose is and want to get rid of it. Scroll does not work.

    Just upgraded to Lion. Scroll does not respond. Have tried altering preferences. Will not fix. In all applications, including this page, a box appears and seems to randomly move around the screen, resting wherever I begin to work. How can I turn this off and get scroll to work normally?

    Have a look at System Preferences, Accessibility, VoiceOver.

  • Just upgraded to Lion and can not use my QuarkXpress program.

    Just upgraded to Lion and can not use my QuarkXpress program.

    Your best bet is to check the version of QuarkXPress you have. Since Lion does not include Rosetta my guess is this may be why it is not working. Check out this site http://roaringapps.com/apps:table. This site has a list of apps that work and don't work under Mac OS X Lion.
    If you are working in a production environment freelance or stuido that uses design apps like QuarkXPress, Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop you should always wait to upgrade your OS. We have a 3 to 6 month policy for upgrading computers and software.
    I hope the website helps.  http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
    Good Luck

  • I have just upgraded to Lion and I now find that my VPN network does not work properly.  It worked fine with Leopard.

    I have just upgraded to Lion and now my VPN connection does not work properly.  It was working fine when I was using Leopard.  The VPN is My Private Network and we use it to link to BBC iPlayer when abroad.  It will actually connect to the VPN site and shows a UK IP address, but then when we try to load an iPlayer programme we get the message from the BBC that we are not in the country and, therefore, cannot access the site.  Any suggestions?

    Have a look at System Preferences, Accessibility, VoiceOver.
