HT2476 I recently upgraded to OS X Mavericks and now I cannot open any of my Microsoft apps. Is Mavericks not compatible with Microsoft Office 2008? If not, how do I revert back to Mountain Lion?

I recently updated my Macbook Pro to OS X Mavericks and now I cannot access any of my Microsoft Office apps. Is Mavericks not compatible with Microsoft Office? If not, how do I revert?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Office 2008 and 2011 are compatible with OS X Mavericks.
If you are using Office 2008, I highly recommend you to reinstall the latest Office 2008 update > http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=36897 Note that Office 2008 is not supported by Microsoft anymore

  • Just updated to Maverick and now I cannot open any of my applications on my Airbook.  It shows the program running but no windows appear on the screen.  Help!!!

    Any ideas as to why the applications do not open in a window?

    Is an external display connected and turned off? If not, open Mission Control. Do you see the window(s) in any other spaces?

    Make sure you're logged in to the App Store with the same Apple ID that you used to download and install Mavericks.  If necessary, log out of the App Store and log back in.

    The Quicken issue has been a hot topic in the Quicken forum as well as many others.  Intuit did not provided an updated Quicken when Lion came out.  I believe that within the past month Intuit has announced a version that does work in Lion, I looked into it, but was not impressed; there were some technical issues that prevent me from using it (don't recall the details though).  Fortunately, I found out about the Quicken mess when Lion came out, and like many users, migrated the quicken data files over to a common format that could be imported into a number of new financial apps like iBank.  Intuit lost a lot of Mac users over this.
    As for Excel and Word, you have to buy Microsoft's newest version of Office on Mac to be compatible.

  • I installed windows 7 recently and also Adobre reader XI, and now I cannot open any of my previously created pdfs. Every time I get the message: Error opening the file. Access denied. What is going on?

    Recently I had to install windows 7 in my notebook because XP doesn't have more support. Before installing I backed up all my files to my external HD. Now that I instaleed windows 7 and also installed Acrobat Reader XI, I just cannot open any of my pdf files created prior to installing windows 7.
    Looking for help online, I found the solution of security and giving me access as an administrator to all my files, but it still keeps the same...
    Can some one please help me out?? I really need to work on many of this files ASAP.
    Thank you all in advance for you attention,
    Best,
    Henrique

    Can you start Adobe Reader?

  • Have installed maverick and now can't open any new pdf files from internet. I can open old ones

    I have just installed Maverick. When I use Safari and try and open a Pdf file from a webpage I get a black screen and tells me to download Adobe. I have reinstalled adobe reader but still don't get anywhere. I can open any pdf files I have previously stored or have in downloads or in documents. Any one any ideas what i need to do?

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • I loaded osX Maverick and now i cannot open my folders to view contents

    I upgraded to osx mavericks and all my folders will not open. as i double click on them it does nothing. I also open up my email or photoshop or indesign or any other program and if i try to import into the program even my email the program crashes on me. not happy with these two main issues.
    Any suggestions

    Starting to type a name and getting a list of matches is good but it's not a substitute for being able to choose twenty or thirty names from your address book and dragging them into the "To" field. Of course many contacts can be put into a group but I may want to send occasional emails to many people who don't fit any group, and there may be no need to create a group just for that email.
    If you agree please send an email to apple feedback for Maverick OS X.

  • HT204065 installed facebook upgrade to my iphone 4 and now i cannot open email messages on my phone

    installed a facebook upgrade on my iphone 4.  Now I can no longer open facebook messages on my phone.  It states we moved over to messenger.  and will not allow me to read email any longer.  I can only get on news feed, etc.

    You have to install the Facebook Messenger app from the App Store. They moved all messages to that system some time ago.

  • I updated to mavericks and now I cannot open Premiere Pro

    My computer also says this (see image). I have updated Cuda but there are no further updates.
    I have installed Java but this does not make Premiere work.
    Is there any way to fix this without having to change my Mac OSX.
    Thanks

    Hi swinbob,
    Welcome to the forums.
    Please remove CUDA drivers from their computer. To remove CUDA drivers from the Mac, go to “Mac HD/Library/Frameworks” and delete “CUDA.Framework.”
    Also, please check the below link to clear your doubts regarding the same.

  • I have upgraded my OS into Mountain Lion and now I cannot see any net storage disks. may someone help me? thanks

    I have upgraded my OS into Mountain Lion and now I cannot see any net storage disks. may someone help me? thanks

    Hi kiwirudy,
    I've had the same problem more than once since I started trying to download my 14 April purchase of OS X Mountain Lion.
    I found a property list called manifest.plist in my ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder which had a Boolean property called failed checked. I unchecked it and afterwards I was able to resume my download.
    Here are some steps I've found useful:
    Close the Mac App Store.
    make a copy of the  ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder. For some strange reason the Mac App Store likes to just delete it in some circumstances, which will mean that one has to start one's download again from the very beginning.
    Double click on the manifest.plist in one's ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder.
    This should open it in Property List Editor.
    Expand all the nodes (holding down the alt key and clicking on the highest collapsed node should do it.
    Find a key called failed of type Boolean and uncheck it.
    Save the manifest.plist and close it.
    Open the Mac App Store.
    The red message "an error has occured" should now be gone and one should be able to resume one's download.
    In the event that the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder gets deleted:
    start the download again (it will start from the beginning), pause it and close the Mac App Store.
    copy your backup copy of the pkg file back to its sub-folder (it's a numbered folder in the ~/Library/Application Support/AppStore folder).
    Open the Mac App Store and resume your download.
    It should continue from where it left off.
    This has worked for me so far. I'm holding my breath. Don't know if I'll still be alive when it's finished.
    Regards
    Nic

  • IPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers?

    iPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers? I downloaded old version of Numbers 2.0.1 from DVD but with both versions the 2.0.1 will not open.  So both versions are present but only the new version functions. I tried to drag the new version to the trash but the old version still runs error message and will not open. I did not try to restart with the new version in the trash.

    Maybe. See:

  • I've just installed Maverick and now can't open iPhoto. I have 9.2.1 currently installed. Am terrified I'm going to lose photos as they weren't all backed up. What do I do? Please help...

    I've just installed Maverick and now can't open iphoto. I have 9.2.1 currently installed. Please help - am terrified I've lost my photos as they weren't all backed up.

    Pogs78,
    first things first — buy an external drive to use as a Time Machine backup destination and make a back up. That way, you won’t lose anything which is currently on your MacBook Pro.
