How to install Open Office 3 on Leopard 10.5.5

Hello everyone,
I just bought a new MacBook (the 13" version) and I'm new to all this Mac stuff, you know the Mac OS and everything. I'm trying to add some of the programs I usually use in my other two systems (Windows Server 2008 and Linux) and one of them is Open Office. I downloaded the version 3 from the apple's site but I don't know/understand how to install it. After I downloaded I execute the icon in the mounted image and open office starts right away. Is that the way it is supposed to be? I mean, no installation? Somehow it doesn't seem right that everytime I want to execute one of its apps I need to mount the img file and then run it form the pop up window. Any clues?
btw, I have also rad some posts in many forums reporting some problems with Open Office and Leopard and the X11 server. In most the cases it is solved by installing a new version of the X11 server. That sounds very weird! (you see, that is exactly why I love Win...these things never happen and I never had to ask in any forum how to do things in Win :-p )
Anyway, I'd appreciate any help on the issue. Btw, the new MacBook rocks well done Mr. Jobs and Co.

you need to drag the application icon from the mounted image to the Applications folder. the app will be copied there. after that you can eject the dmg. you won't need it any more. to use the app double-click on it in /Applications. that's how most OS X apps are installed.

Does anyone know how I install Microsoft office onto an I Mac or if I even need it.

If you need to write or modify documents made with Word, Excel, or Powerpoint, then you need Office. Otherwise, you don't. If you already have it then installation just involves double-clicking on the Office Installer's icon.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

How to install open source Flex SDK in Eclipse 3.3 ?
Thanks in advance,
Jai.

Hi Jai!
I'm not sure about this information because the last time I have used the flash builder into a linux machine was in 2007, but check this out:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flex/flexbuilder_linux/
It says you will need to use SDK from the command line to build flex application.

Can't install open office; youtube videos + green screen; using call HP Tech Support fails

Can't install open office; youtube videos are green screen (audio ok); using call HP Tech Support fails (no reason given)
1) Can't turn McAfee Livesafe off, and think it's what's keeping me from installing Open Office. It downloads but can't install.
2) At work on wireless guest, youtube looks fine. At home on ethernet through DISH satellite, it's green screen. This is not he case with my older HP laptop connected to the same ethernet cable.
3) Why is HP tech support rejecting me, after I type everything in? If I ca't use it, don't make it an option!!!! The forums were choice #2, so here I am ... make me proud ...
Thanks everyone!!!!

An alternative to OpenOffice would be KingsSoft Office, it performs better and still Free:

McAfee products are problematic on some systems and suggest you uninstall it using their removal too then reboot:
http://service.mcafee.com/FAQDocument.aspx?id=TS101331
Build in Windows Defender should reactivate after the reinstall. As an antivirus product it is adequate as long as you practice safe surfing habits.
Windows key + X, select Command Prompt (Admin) and type: sfc /scannow
Let me know if it does not fix all or any corrupt system files.
Reboot and now try your Youtube.
I do not have an answer to what transpired between you and HP Support but only to say you should come here first.
Please mark my post as SOLVED if it has resolved your problem. It helps others with similar situations.

I know iBooks aren't backed up and that iCloud just backs up the purchase history, but I'm not sure about pdfs being backed up. Some people say they are:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/23211222#23211222
It's probably safer to assume it doesn't backup pdfs. You could store your pdfs (for safekeeping) in an app like Dropbox.

How to install Open-SSL tool kit for Key conversion

Hi Expert,
Can you please suggest how do i install Open-SSL tool kit for Key conversion .
I need this for creating public and private keys for a key based SFTP connection.

SAP PI donnot support SFTP protocol. If you have a third party SFTP adapter and wanted to generate a keypair, you can use tools like PuttyGen.
But you need to download the tool on to the PI server to generate a key pair.
Instead, you can use the unix command to generate key pair (Recommended) -
ssh-keygen -t rsa

HT1338 how to install ms office work on mac book pro ?

i want to install ms office work in mac book pro eg word , excel , powerpoint n all ... can someone please help me how to get this one ?

You have to buy it from Microsoft
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products
or from a retailer that sell it. Looks like even the Apple Store sells it...
http://store.apple.com/us/search?find=office+for+mac
If you don't speciflcally need Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, you can consider iWork from Apple, which is available from the Mac App Store
Pages - Numbers - Keynote
You can also consider "clones" of MS Office

Leopard DVD is far away. How to install XP without the leopard dvd?

ok. Leopard DVD is far away abroad with my sister.
How to install Xp without the DVD? Is there anyway to get the drivers that are to be installed from the dvd after installing Xp?
I really need to use Autocad and Rhino on my Macpro, so Parallels or VMware fusion is not an option. I am already using VMware fusion on my Macbook pro, but VMware will not use 4g RAM of my Macpro which means it would be hard to run Rhino.
By the way, I am planning to buy Windows (I am sooooo ashamed to install that self-messed up OS on my Macpro. but so what,,, Autocad and Rhino do not run on Mac, and I need specifically the two programs). XP with sp2, sp3, or vista. which one is the best option?
Since my Macpro has only One 2.8GHZ Quad-Core Intel Xeon, there is no need to buy XP professional? (XP home doesn't support multi-processors, and XP Pro does, I guess?)

There are some parts that I don't understand.
VMware Fusion uses only 512 RAM maximum, doesn't it? But you said it will use my entire 4GB RAM but only 2 cores. That's something different from what I've known.
If fusion really uses 4gm RAM of my mac pro, I don't really have to use Boot Camp. But most people who need to run heavy programs in Windows choose Boot Camp because it's the only way to use a Mac just like a PC, meaning that the XP uses the entire RAM memory.
XP will only use 2 GB of RAM, no matter how much the system has.
I just found out that Rhino doesn't really work on Vista. So vista is ruled out.
Only Vista 64-bit recognizes all system RAM.

*Hi munna, Welcome* to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
*Francine Schweider* a |||| bar poster in these forums has what I think is an excellent thought.
"I plan to buy my next computer before Leopard comes out. Why? Because generally new Mac computers will not run any system older than the one they ship with, I want to be able to use the fully mature Tiger system, rather than having to rely entirely on Leopard. Who knows whether the software I own will be fully compatible with Leopard? Or how long it will take for developers (think Adobe) to update if there are incompatibilities with Leopard. Or even just how stable and reliable and all like that Leopard will be.
Francine"
Your problem is an example of why her advice is so sound. Hopefully you have a Tiger System clone that you made in case there were Leopard install problems. Keep it and boot from it when you needs apps that are not Leopard ready.

How to install Microsoft Office on MacBook Air?

I just bought my first ever Apple MacBook and I am realy having hard time with it.
Please someone tell me how to install the Microsoft Office 2011 on MacBook Air.
Thank you so much!

Just go to MS Office, download a free trial, enter the product key from the MS Office software that you purchased, and voila! So easy!
Does this solution work on different versions of software (in this case MS Office)? I don't keep up with all the releases so the dates are probably wrong in the following examples. Lets assume I owned MS Office 07 and I wanted to use your solution. I assume the MS website DOESN'T offer free trials of outdated software. So, I go on their website, download MS Office 2011 and then enter my product key from MS Office 2007. Are you saying that will work?
Personally for me, I don't give two hoots about getting the latest MS Office. So, if I have a working copy of an earlier edition, that's the one I want to install. And yes, for you NO-NO people, I do remove the software from my previous computers when I do this before I sell them.
Even if I could upgrade my previous version, I wouldn't want to as it would be a waste of my time during the learning curve. In fact I'm paying this penalty now in that I'm using MS Office 08 that my wife bought (3 computer version) and insisted I put on my computer to help her on her's. I was using MS Office 03 and hate the 08 pull down menus. Since I use the program infrequently, I find myself staggering around trying to find this and that when with the '03 version, it would be simply click and done.

How to install microsoft office

as there is no CD drive in Mac Air, how do I install MS Office?

What if the OP already owns MS Office 2011 for Mac on DVD disc? Why should he pay for another copy?

You duplicate the downloaded file, or copy, or backup.

Since installing Open Office 4.0 I cannot open .doc files on the fly, used to work before.

I've recently upgraded to Open Office 4.0. Now cannot open .doc attachments from Thunderbird. I can download to disc and open into Open Office Writer with Power Desk or Windows Explorer in the usual way. I've checked tools/options/attachments and it's set to Open Office Writer. I think this is irrelevant, but when I had Open Office 3.0 I had Writer set as a separate program, but I am now using just the master front end.
Works OK with .pdf or .jpg files.

just delete the entry from the attachments windows and then try and open a doc file. The entry will be recreated using your responses.
I am guessing the existing Writer is not the correct Writer.
