HT1199 Why do I have to re-purchase MS Office for mac after OS 10.7 upgrade?
I upgraded to OS 10.7.4 and now I have to re-purchase Microsoft Office for Mac? What's up with that?
If you use Office 2004, you need to update to Office 2008 or 2011 because 2004 isn't compatible with Lion (PowerPC). Also, you can buy iWork

I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac through the Apple website.. I have downloaded all from the disk into my Mac, no problem with all the other Word etc, but Outlook is asking for the key number: I have put it in but its obviously not the right one...???? In the box with the disk came the product key, have put it in and it doesnt work. Please help..x
unfortunately - you can not. you can't even buy outlook by itself at microsoft's own website.
does it have to be outlook? maybe you can get away with using something else that's outlook compatible.
how about trying Thunderbird for Mac OS?
or maybe you can call apple and let them know you purchase the wrong version - they might give you a break and just pay the difference for the home and business version.
good luck -

IIt was in my mind to load office then transfer. After to load paralels and transfer my windows system. I have a new copy of office for Mac plus paralels PC to Mac transfer version 8. As this is my first mac (I have ipads and iphones) I am unsure of what to do. Also to confuse matters I use a windows laptop as my sync machine for the phones and ipads (i do have a cloud account with backup) can I transfer both machines to my new imac? I will have a 1tb fusion drive + 2tb time capsule although I only have less than 400GB of data on both machines. Hope this is not too confusing for everyone but I am looking forward to sorting this mess out by just using the one machine.
Use the Office for Mac and ignore using Parallels for that. If you have PC only apps you have to run that are MS Windows only then consider Parallels. Just transfer your main PC, using Migration Assistant. If you don't know how then simply read over Pondini's article called Lion or Mountain Lion Setup Assistant tips and look for the section on migrating from a PC. Millions have done what you are about to, it's far from leading edge these days, if you go to an Apple Store to purchase they will offer this as a service, something you might be interested in.

I have a FreeAgent GoFlex backup drive (for Mac) after a while the icon disappears from the desktop and can only be restored by reconnecting the firewire. This also happens when I use the USB connection as well. Thanks
Did you use any of the "sleep" drivers supplied? I have found it best to just totally reformat/erase the drives and let the OS handle them.

why do i have to pay more than once for my purchased album in itunes, when i download them again?
Probably because you purchased them again, instead of following the proper method for redownloading apps.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store ... - Support - Apple -
Why do i have to enter my apple id for every purchase
Why do I have to enter my apple id for every purchase in the app store. I thought the new ios would remember it every time.
It only "remembers" such for 15 minutes after the first purchase. This is done for security reasons. It is app updates that no longer require a password.

I just purchased a MacBookPro after having a MacBook. I have ILife, IWorks and Office for Mac. How do I get those programs on to my MacBook Pro? I will still use my MacBook at work so I need those programs to remain on it as well.
You need a Firewire cable to run between the two Macs. Using Utility>Migration Assistant running on your new MacBook Pro, transfer what you want (with all the preferences and such) from your MacBook to your MBP. Here's more info from Apple.
You might have an issue with the Serial number for Office, but hopefully you have that around.
Hope this helps. -
firefox 5.1 or any version has doe this im using XP which was never an issue until these newer versions so
why do I have to reboot my computor before firefox loads after it is used then closed then reopened but get nothing until I reboot ?I've been having similar issues although mine seem to happen when I import my own movies into Apple TV. After adding new items to my iTunes library and then switching my entertainment configuration to Apple TV, I get nothing but total blackness and my TV says it has no HDMI signal. Once I unplug and repower the Apple TV, everything works fine.

I have a voucher to be used on the app store, is there anyway I can use it to purchase and download Microsoft Office for Mac?
No, only for apps available on the App Store. Office is not one of them.

Why wont apple allow me to purchase chips/coins for games
Why wont apple allow me to purchase chips/coins for games
I don't know. Maybe you could tell us what you are seeing to make you think this.
If by some remarkable feat of mind reading I sense you are seeing a message for you to contact iTunes Customer Service about the purchase, well maybe you should do what it suggests and find out.

I am using Office for MAC 2008, when I switch to other applications on my MAC, to copy and paste something for instance and then go back to Office window it never brings me back to the window/worksheet I was working on. I have to click on the Window tab in excell for instance, but my window is ticked but not appearing. I then have to click on one of the other open files and then click back to the sheet I was working on for it to appear. Can any one tell me why?
Does that happen only on web pages that are running a Flash presentation? <br />
When Flash "steals focus" from Firefox, you need to click outside the Flash presentation in the browser window, to regain focus in Firefox. A major problem arises when the Flash presentation is in the entire browser window, though. The Firefox developers are working on fixing that in Firefox, but it doesn't look like a fix is going to make it into Firefox 4.0, though. -

I just upgraded my MAC from OSX 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion 10.8.2. When I try to access my Microsoft Office for MAC (2004 edition) files I am getting a message "can't open Office because Power PC applications are no longer supported. How can I access all of my save Word documents? I just want to be able to retrieve all of my documents that were in Microsoft Office for Mac (2004). If I purchase the newest version of MS office for Mac from Apple will I be able to retrieve my old documents?
Use any number of free alternatives to your nearly decade old version of MS Office.
Consider
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice (free)
OpenOffice (free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for years. Life is better without Microsoft. -
how do i install office for mac 2008 to my new i mac which has no optical drive. I have the Office discs and product key
You could purchase any commonly available external USB DVD/CD writer, such as the excellent LG brand units sold on Amazon, for about $30 US. I've used an LG writer for years to save wear and tear on my older Superdrive.
