Microsoft office 2011 not working on macbook air?

Hi,
I have just installed microsoft office 2011 on my macbook air, it appeared to be installed correctly but I can not open Word, Powerpoint etc. Upon trying to open the programs an error message saying I should rebuild the Database utility appears, once I click out of that it just freezes and I can do nothing, not even close it.
I'm not overly tech savvy, so any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Uninstall Office (do it correctly, per Microsofts instructions) and then reinstall it.
Here are Microsoft's instructions

How do I run Apple Hardware Test on a 2012 MacBook Air with 10.8.4?

Hello everyone,
I am trying to run Apple Hardware Test on a mid-2012 MacBook Air with 10.8.4 installed. Whenever I restart and hold the letter D my computer goes into internet recovery mode and asks me to connect to Wifi... Please help, thanks!

Using Apple Hardware Test on computers with OS X 10.7 or later
Mac NoteBook and Desktop computers shipping with OS X 10.7 or later have a partition on the hard drive or flash storage that contains AHT. To start AHT on these computers please follow these instructions:
Press the power button to turn on your computer.
Press and hold the D key before the gray startup screen appears.
It takes a minute or so for AHT to start up and inspect your hardware configuration. While this is taking place, an icon appears on the screen:
When the process is complete, select your language and click the right arrow. If you aren't using a mouse, you can use the up and down arrows to select a language and then press the Return key.
The AHT console appears. You can choose which sort of test or tests to perform:
To perform all of the basic tests, click the Test button or press the "T" key or the Return key.
To perform a more thorough diagnostic test, select the "Perform extended testing" checkbox under the Test button before you click the Test button.
Note: Your test results will appear in the window in the bottom-right of the console.To exit AHT, click Restart or Shut Down at the bottom of the window.
Some Macintosh computers that shipped with OS X Lion and later support the use of Apple Hardware Test over the Internet. These computers will start up to an Internet-based version of AHT if the hard drive does not contain AHT. An Internet-enabled connection via Ethernet or Wi-Fi is required to use this feature. Internet-based AHT functions the same as AHT on the hard drive or flash storage outlined above.
The Mac NoteBook and Desktop computers listed in Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery will require a firmware in order to support the Internet version of AHT. Without this update you may see the behavior discussed in this article.

Transferring Office 2011 from iMac to Macbook Air

My Office 2011 on my iMac is a downloaded upgrade from Office v.X. How do I locate the CD Key to the 2011 upgrade? It's my understanding Microsoft now allows you to use Office 2011 on 2 devices. Thank you!

By moving the Library...
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Regards

How can I install Microsoft Money 2001 on to my Macbook Air?

I have just got my MacBook Air and am very happy with it, but I'm currently trying to install Microsoft Money 2001 on here, and I have no clue how to do it... It is a CD which I have installed on my old computer, however, I insert the CD into the disk slot in the USB disk thing, and it comes up with the disk on my desktop, but I have no idea what to do from there. Please help, thank you.

Wow, I see some red flags:
Microsoft Money - Are you sure this runs on a Mac running an OS X operating system?
2001 - Are you sure you want to run twelve year old software? Are you sure it can run on a current processor?
There are other products out there that may do what you need at least as well ...
Anyway, putting all that aside, and assuming you know that Microsoft Money 2001 will run on your Mac, here's the answer to your question:
Control-click on that "disk on my desktop". Then click "Open". Hopefully you will either see something labelled "Installer", or some arrow showing the Microsoft Money icon leading to an Applications Folder. If you see the installer, double click it. If you see the arrow, drag the icon as indicated. A third possibility is you will see a ".dmg" file. If so, double click it.
If you see none of the above, that would reconfirm this software is not designed for an Apple product!
Anyway, I would be very reluctant to try to install it because of the red flags.

How do I install my new printer software on my macbook air when there is not a disk drive?

I recently got a new hp all in one printer but the software for it comes on a disk but the macbook air does not have a disk drive..

If "plan A" is unsuccessful, you can download the driver from the printer manufacturers website. You can also share another computer's dvd drive.
And you may want to consider buying a MacBook Air external Superdrive from Apple for $79.00. Maybe its not necessary now, you may find some software that will make it handy. Or use the drive to rip DVD's and CD's.

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!

How can I get to install Microsoft Office 2011 in my Mac OS X 10.6.8 if when down to "writing package scripts" it fails ?, How can I get to install Microsoft Office 2011 in my Mac OS X 10.6.8 if when down to "writing package scripts" it fails ?

How can I get to install Microsoft Office 2011 in my Mac OS X 10.6.8 if when down to "writing package scripts" it fails ?

Contact Microsoft support and ask for help. You've paid for the kit, so installation-time support is part of the expectations. They'll probably suggest a Repair Permissions and a Verify Disk pass, both performed by booting the installation DVD and using Disk Utility from the Utilities menu item, and selecting those two repairs.

How do I get MS Office 2011 to install from DVD on Mountain Lion?

I just did a clean install of OS X Mountain Lion from a prepared bootable SD-Card on a new partition of my harddrive and wanted to install Microsoft Office 2011 using the original disc. But after double clicking the installer icon nothing happened besides the rainbow colored spinner showing up and disappearing shortly after and my optical drive making some noise. Activity Monitor indicated that the process of the Installer application doesn't react so I had to force quit it. I tried it multiple times to install MS Office this way using the disc but the problem persisted, also after a reboot.
So far my system is still in a pretty fresh state since I installed hardly any separate apps yet and the most intrusive one of them is probably merely Sophos. OS X's Installer app worked the way it should when I was installing iLife the day before using the Applications Install DVD that came with my Mac.
When I installed Office 2011 the first time, presumably one year ago on another partition on the same Mac which was running OS 10.6, everything worked fine and the same is true for the time when I upgraded to OS 10.7 (although I didn't install Office again, I just kept everything on the same partition).
So is there anyone out there who experienced similiar problems and can please help solve this problem?

Well, that depends on what you mean when you say "verified". But as I wrote in the first post I was able to install iLife from disc on Mountain Lion without much ado. And just now I tested a DVD with some pictures on it and the disc drive would read and display all photos in Preview.
And given the facts that I rarely use my optical drive at all and that my machine is only little more than a year old, a drive failure seems quite unlikely. But thanks for your response anyway!

Please note that this was first posted in the iMac (Intel) Community. I'm new to this discussion board and didn't recognize at first that there is also a dedicated community for Mountain Lion related topics.

Just to be clear, Office 2010 is for Windows. Office 2011 is for Mac. If you actually are trying to install Office 2010, you'll need to have installed Windows on your Mac either through Boot Camp or in a virtual machine.
