    If the Office updates have to be run through Win in Parallels, there's not really a section here that covers that , because Neither Office or Parallels are Apple products. There is only a small chance that you'll find someone with BOTH your conditions who just happend to look into a forum on older iMacs.
    Parallels has a forum here:

    I think you'll get a faster response there.

  • How to quit Microsoft Database Daemon SyncServicesAgent?

    I am attempting to update Microsoft Office, but when I download the update, I receive the message that I need to quit these applications:
    -Microsoft Database Daemon
    -SyncServicesAgent
    I do not know how to quit these applications and they do not appear in the "Force Quit" menu.  Suggestions?

    I share your frustration. Tried for 50 minutes straight to delete and they kept coming back. Today I tried again, following the instructions given to close in Activity Monitor. Clicked on 'Quit process' and confirmed only to see them pop up again, and this time 'quit process' was greyed out so I couldn't click it. Finally i tried the keyboard instructions given (alt -cmd - Q) and yeayy! **** things stopped long enough for me to install an update. Might just be coincidence but it worked for me

  • How can I quit Microsoft Database Daemon & SyncServicesAgent so that I can update Microsoft word?

    how can I quit Microsoft Database Daemon & SyncServicesAgent so that I can update Microsoft Office for macs?

    I tried all the solutions above, and the many others that are posted on various other forums (involving shift keys, activity monitor, dragging and dropping apps, renaming etc).  None of them worked.  SyncServicesAgent and the Daemon App would reactivate evcery single time, within seconds.
    What worked for me was to start the update installation and get to the point where it require syncservices etc to be closed.  At this point, i DISCONNECTED FROM THE INTERNET.  (I also quit syncservices and the database daemon in Activity Monitor but I don't know if that step was necessary).  Then I went back ot the update installation, clicked continue and it all went fine.
    So the answer seems to be: go offline.
    Good luck
    No, the answer is to quit the MS daemons that are running (database and syncservces), on or offline is not relevant.
    You can't quit the daemons if Office is running, so exit Office first.

    Open Activity Monitor (Applications>Utilities>Activity Monitor) select the processes (one at a time), double click one process, when box comes up, select force quit and repeat for remaining application. Note: for some reason I had to do this twice before it worked.

    Hi,
    Could please clarify the steps to reproduce this issue? Did this issue occur when clicking on a link in an email message within Outlook?
    If I didn't misunderstand it, please first try to log into the web mail to check if this issue persists.
    If problem didn't exist in webmail, please try to open your Internet Explorer with no add-on mode to troubleshoot the issue. See:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/976915/en-us
    If above didn't fix the issue, please try to reset your Internet Explorer to check the result:

    Note: Resetting Internet Explorer isn't reversible, and all previous settings are lost after the reset.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT5254 I have gone through the process for "Malware Removal Tool" and I cannot find a place where to make this tool work? Can somebody tell me?

    First of all, I would like to know how do I know that I have "Flashback Malware" in my computer? - I have decided to install the removla tool just in case, but cannot find anywhere to activate and start the process of cleaning or detecting this malware. Will appreciate some advise on this subject.

    Did you install it via Software Update or did you download the Apple malware installer software? If so, there's nothing for you to do. It's all automatic. There are no programs to run. See:
    Helpful Links Regarding Flashback Trojan
    Visit Thomas Reed's site for insight and help: Mac Malware Guide
    A Google search can reveal a variety of alternatives on how the remove the trojan should your computer get infected. This can get you started. However, be careful about what you do as new variants of the malware circumvent the efforts of earlier tools.
    Also see Apple's article About Flashback malware.
    Apple has released Java updates for Snow Leopard and Lion users:
    Java for OS X Lion 2012-003; available only for users of Lion with Java installed.
    Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 8; available only for users of Snow Leopard.
    Flashback malware removal tool; available only for users of Lion without Java installed.
    Install whichever shows up in Software Update. It removes the malware (if present), updates Java (if present) and tightens up Java settings for the future.  You may download from Apple's web site instead of using Software Update, but it's important to know which one to get, because the other two won't work for you.
