HT1338 Since updating to OSX Mountain Lion my Microsoft Word etc is not working. Why?

Help with getting Microsoft Software operating

If your screenname were CHEAPO instead of Cheppo, I would suggest that you purchase Snow Leopard Server for $19.99 from the Apple Store and install it into either Parallels or VMWare Fusion (retail = $79) and be able to continue to run your Microsoft Office 2004.

  • Ever since updating to OSX Mountain Lion, I can't access my FCPX files

    When I went into FCPX after updating to OSX Mountain Lion, I was told I needed to update my FCP files or they wouldn't play. I clicked update and left it running all night (I have a lot of large files). The next day, after rebooting, I tried to access my files, but when I click on the "reel" symbol to load a project, the Apple wheel starts to spin endlessly. It goes on for hours, and finally I have to force quit the program. Everything appears to be there, but I can't bring anything up or work on projects. The second the program starts, the wheel starts spinning.

    Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
    You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
    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.)

  • HT1338 Any one have any idea how to hide unwanted updates in OSX Mountain Lion? Many thanks

    Any one have any idea how to hide unwanted updates in OSX Mountain Lion? Many thanks

    Captfred,
    Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately no hide option is available by right clicking the Motion 5.0..4. update.
    Seems strange that this does not appear to have been included, unless I'm missing something.

  • Since the download of the OSX Mountain Lion, my Epson beamer is no more working, what should I do?

    Since the download of the OSX Mountain Lion, my Epson beamer is no more working, what should I do?

    Plug the device into the computer and make sure it is turned on, then click the apple logo then software update, if some are available from epson install them.  If not contact epson at 800-533-3731  for the correct drivers needed for Mountain Lion

  • HT3275 Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive.  Could not complete backup to media share.  The network backup disk does not support the required AFP feat

    Since updating OS to Mountain Lion from leopard, I get the following error message when trying to backup with time machine on external drive.  "Could not complete backup to media share.  The network backup disk does not support the required AFP features."  What are AFP features and how do I get Time Machine to backup to my current external backup?

    This means that your NAS does not support the required encryption. Update your NAS to the latest firmware or ditch it and buy a Time Capsule (they are the most reliable when using TM).

  • Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, everything works fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN.

    Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, connection speed is fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN. My current location is Shanghai, China. OSX Mountain was installed this morning and everything worked fine until then. Is Express VPN not supported? What do i need to do in order to get it working again on my Macbook Pro (early 2011). I want to be able to go on websites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, ect...

    Hi,
    I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal.  I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved.  Here is the steps sent to me
    Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
    Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
    (should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
    Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
    1. Click on Applications
    2. Click on Utilities
    3. Click on Terminal
    4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
    5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
    If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
    Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

  • Download of update to OSX Mountain Lion

    I was updating to OSX Mountain Lion, used my computer for something else and the download got interrupted.
    How do I resume the download?

    That is a point many users miss...even Apple has limited bandwidth when it comes time to release a major operating system and millions of users want to download at the same time...during the first two weeks one should expect delays and long, long download times.
    It is getting to the point that suggesting downloading during "off hours" isn't even good advice...world-wide there is no such thing as an off hours time segment
    I have a very fast f9ber optic carrier and download took around thirty minutes...another good reason to tell people to make a copy of the installer before doing the installation so you do not need to download again.

  • Problems with a Game - Should I update to OSX Mountain Lion?

    Howdy,
    To cut a long story short and get straight to the point I've been having problems with the Sims 3 for god knows how long and its starting to drive me mad. What I'm now wondering is whether updating to OSX Mountain Lion would help at all. The reason I've asked this is because I read a post by someone that said the only way to update your video card (which might be causing the problem) would be to upgrade the whole operating system.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Sarah
    P.s. If you need anymore details or anything just let me know

    You can not upgrade your Video card at all.
    Mountain Lion may help, but I don't know that it will.

    Try installing the Epson drivers from here:

    and then seeing if adding and printing with USB works.
    This site really works and my computer is now printing.

    Will Mountain Lion run Microsoft Word?

    Yes, all versions of Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint & Outlook) are compatible with OS X.  Update to the latest versions of OS X & Office.  Office updates are released frequently so be sure to keep it up-to-date
