How do I get microsoft office restored on mountain lion?

I have just upgraded with CD to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion.  But Microsoft Office is no longer supported.  Can I download Office to get to my work?

You need to upgrade it to Office 2008 or 2011, or use a product such as OpenOffice or iWork.

  • How can I get Microsoft office onto my Macbook Air?

    I need to use Microsoft office instead of Pages and Keynote because they are not compatible with my teacher's files. However my macbook air does not have the cd/dvd slot so how could I get Microsoft office onto my macbook? Help is appreciated! I really need it for my classes!!!!

    You have a couple of options.
    1) Buy a external DVD drive that connects by USB port. Any brand will work on your Mac. It doesn't have to have the Apple name on it for it to work. Most cost around $30.
    2) If you have the office DVD take it to a Mac that has a DVD drive and copy the DVD contents to a USB thumb drive then install from that thumb drive.
    3) Fine the DMG download of the office version you have.
    Note that only Office 2008 and the newest 2011 will work on a Mac running Lion or Mt Lion. The older 2004 version won't install on newer Mac computers.

    MS seels keys online, then you download.
    Or if you have another Mac with a SuperDrive you can use "Target Mode" (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.7/en/mchlp1443.html).

  • How do I get microsoft office on my macbook pro?

    What do you get microsoft office on my macbook?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Microsoft has got an Office version for Mac, that you can get from its site > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
    Also, there are other productivity suites:
    1. iWork. It's the Apple's productivity suite and it includes Pages, Numbers and Keynote. You can purchase it at the Mac App Store.
    2. LibreOffice. It's free and open-source, so you should try it first > http://www.libreoffice.org

  • How do I get Microsoft Office unto my new MacBook Air?

    I recently purchased a new MacBook Air to be able to complete my online courses, and soon after I noticed that I don't have Microsoft Office pre-installed. Is that standard that Mac computers don't have Microsoft Office already installed? How can I get MS without having to pay an exuberant amount for a new license?

    yes it is normal, mac computers don't come with MS office on them
    unfortunately the only (legal) way of acquiring microsoft office is to buy a license - as a student you might be entitled to discounts depending on your country (in the UK we have http://www.software4students.co.uk)
    there are alternatives - Pages/Numbers/Keynote are the Apple equivalent of Word, ExCel and PowerPoint respectively. office documents can be opened using these apps too. i hear complaints from people who need certain features only available in MS office but for the average user the Apple versions are brilliant
    then there's the free openoffice, etc, if you were looking for something along those lines

  • How do I get Microsoft office from my iMac to my Macbook Pro

    I have an older paid for version of Microsoft Office. I believe it is 2011? Anyhow, I got a New/used fully updated Macbook Pro and I used my Time Capsule to transfer all my data from my iMac to my laptop, but much of the music is absent, as well as my purchased apps. How do I get these over? I do not have an optical drive so it is not as easy as reinstalling.

    If it's Office 2011 you can download a Trial at www.mactopia.com. You can then use your license key to make it a fully functional version.
    You can also download EasyFind 4.9 and use it to locate all the relevant Microsoft and office files located elsewhere on your old drive so you can transfer them to your new one.

  • How would you get Microsoft office from apple laptop to Ipad?

    Im having difficulty getting my Microsoft office from my apple laptop to my new Ipad. If anyone has any ideas PLEASE I would really appreciate the help. Thank You!!

    No can do. sorry.  There are apps in the App Store you can buy, such as Pages (for word documents) and numbers (for excel spreadsheets), but there is no way to move your Microsoft software on to your iPad, even if you have it on an Apple Laptop.  They are totally different operating systems..

  • How do I get a copy of the Mountain Lion OS that I can use to recover?

    How do I make a disc image of my Mac Mini HD that id bootable and has the operating system with all the programs, settings and data.  If I need to replace a defective hard drive it would be good to have an image on a USB flash drive to restore previous settings and the operating system -- Mountain Lion, 10.8.1.  I have been told that TimeMachine does not make a true disc image.  I want a "hard copy" of the operating system that does not require an internet connection.

    Unfortunately, the link for getting specific hardware versions has disappeared. So basically:
    Get yourself a spare hard drive freshly erased or with a freshly erased partition of around 8 GBs or more.
    Boot to your Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion from the main menu.
    From the beginning screen select your spare partition/drive as the target destination then begin the download.
    At the end of the download you will observe an Install button for you to click. Now this is important - as soon as that gadget appears you must abort the installation process. There are only two reliable ways to do this quickly: a. yank the cable for the drive from the computer; b. pull the power on the computer - shut it down quickly.
    This will result in your finding a folder on the drive that contains InstallESD.dmg that you can now use to create a bootable USB flash drive installer based on the special build for your model. Use it until the next public release of Lion appears or you move on to Mountain Lion.
    If you do not stop the download process immediately upon its completion you will end up with an installer that always boots to a non-functioning installation progress window instead of the normal main menu.
    Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
    1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
    2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
    Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    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.
    Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
    3. Locate the saved Mountain/Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
    4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the content of the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
    Double-click on the InstallESD.dmg file to mount it on your Desktop.
    Open Disk Utility.
    Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
    Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    Drag the mounted disc icon from the Desktop into the Source entry field.
    Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable installer that you can use without having to re-download Mountain/Lion.
    Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
    As an alternative to the above you can try using Lion DiskMaker 2.0 that automates the process.

  • Why can I no longer run Microsoft Office after downloading Mountain Lion?

    I recently made the jump from snow leopard to mountain lion the other day. After the installation of mountain lion was complete I noticed a number of my applications were no longer useable. The most noticeable ones were anything under microsoft office. I have been using the 2004 version of Microsoft Office  on this Mac without a single problem for four years until Mountain Lion was installed. Now when I try to open it a message pops up saying PowerPC applications are no longer supported. I was wondering if others were having the same problem or there was a solution to fix this.
    Thank you

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    PowerPC applications aren't supported in Mountain Lion. What does it mean? You have to update all your programs to an Intel edition. You can use Office 2008 or 2011, try iWork in the App Store or use LibreOffice

  • Microsoft office 08 and mountain lion?

    Will I have an issue with Microsoft Office 08 if I update to Mountain Lion? Anyone have issues on their
    iMac/intel after doing the update? My iPad is terribly slow and it just spins and spins...don't want to
    lose use of my computer.

  • Lost microsoft office tools with mountain lion install

    I installed Mountain Lion and now my Microsoft Office Tools are gone?

    I'm using Entourage just fine, which is good because Apple Mail is almost as bad as Outlook.  However, with Entourage, I had to delete all the preferences files and rebuild the database, as it was very pokey after the upgrade. 
    I'm using Office 2011 apps, and those are fine.  Sorry, but I abandoned the rest of the 2008 suite a while back.... but I just tested Word 2008 and it worked OK... although still much slower launching than 2011, which is almost instantaneous.
    Make sure you have a full backup, such as with SuperDuper, on a bootable firewire drive before you attempt it.  Better safe than sorry.

  • Microsoft office 2008 on mountain lion?

    I have the Microsoft office 2008 installed on my 2009 Macbook pro with osx snow leopard, if I install mountain lion on my mac what would happen to my microsoft office and will I still be able to use my 2008 office on Mountain lion?

  • How do I get Microsoft office to work after downloading Mac OS X Lion?

    If I try to open Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint I get hte folowing message:
    "You can't open the application Microsoft Wod because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."

    How can I find out how old my Office:mac program is? It cost $149.99 at the Apple Store. I think it's only 3 years old. So Apple wants to kill Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.? Fine, a fair warning would be appropriate. I would not have "upgraded" if I knew $29 was really that plus upgrading everything else.
    That's totally unlike Apple to not be able to access common documents when doing an upgrade.
    Get real! Word and Excel can't be accessed by Lion?!?!  I just want to work on my daughter's homework...
    What a pussycat.

  • How can I get Microsoft Office onto my Macbook Pro?

    I Need Microsoft word and Powerpoint for my Macbook. I have the 2008 version on CD but I have no disk drive on my Laptop....how do I go about installing it? Should I just bring it into the Apple Store and get them to install it?

    You could try seeing if your local Apple Store would allow you to use an external drive to install Office 2008... it's no longer available as a digital download that I can find (only 2011 -> http://www.microsoft.com/mac/office-2011-digital-download).
    2008 is going to look bad on a Retina display - if you want Retina display capabilities, you'll have to upgrade the the latest version fo 2011.
