HT5287 how do I install microsoft office on my iMac without a disk drive?

How do I install office:mac home &student on my imac without a disk drive?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have Microsoft Office for Mac on a DVD, you have two options:
1. Buy an external optical drive, connect it to the iMac and use it to install Office.
2. If you have another Mac or PC, use Remote Disc > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Both options are valid, but the option to install it from an external optical drive is much better. It's faster than installing it with Remote Disc

    If you haven't got any other computer, then you have to buy an optical drive. You can buy the external optical drive you want, without having to buy the official SuperDrive

  • How do i load Microsoft office onto my computer without a cd-drive?

    I just got the new mac book pro with retina display and this device doesnt have a cd-drive. Along with the computer i got the new microsoft office which come as two cds. How am i supposed to load these onto my computer if i dont have a cd - drive?

    The MacBook Air would allow you to use another networked computer with an optical drive to install programs, like this.  The same might be possible on the driveless new MacBook Pro.
    Assuming the OP has another networked Mac that would work with a retina, but the external drive makes more sense.

    Just to be clear, Office 2010 is for Windows.  Office 2011 is for Mac.  If you actually are trying to install Office 2010, you'll need to have installed Windows on your Mac either through Boot Camp or in a virtual machine.

    how can I install microsoft office or any other product that requires dos

    You are showing 10.6.7. You should be able to run any Office PPC/Mac Compatible version (e.g. Office 2004) with Rosetta in Snow Leopard.
    As noted, you can't run a Windows version except on a Windows partition.

  • How can I install new windows on NB200-10z without a CD drive?

    Hi,
    I have a mini laptop "Toshiba nb200-10z" and it doesnt startup anymore.
    I would like to do a recovery, but it also doesnt work.
    I know there is a shortcut like press the 0 button when the laptop is starting up.
    With this shortcut you can start the recovery to reset the software.
    But when I press the 0 button it gives me an error.
    So I think the recovery drive/partition is lost.
    How can I install new windows on this minilaptop without a CD drive?

    I have found a much easier way to install Windows 7 from a USB Flash drive. Unlike other methods where you have to write complicated commands, this method can be completed even by those who have very little computer background.
    The whole process takes only two steps, run UNetbootin, load the Windows 7 ISO file, and finally restart your computer.
    Before you begin, you will require the following:
    USB Flash Drive (4GB minimum)
    Windows 7 ISO Image file
    UNetbootin
    Note: If UNetbootin doesnt work, try out the Microsofts official tool called Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool.
    Now insert the USB drive, run UNetbootin, and select Disk Image as ISO. Browse your local drive for Windows 7 ISO that you downloaded and click Open. Now Select Type as USB and choose the drive. Once done, it will look like a bit similar to the screenshot shown below.
    Click OK and it will begin extracting all installation files to the USB drive. The whole process will take some time (10-15 minutes), so have patience.
    Once the installation is complete, reboot your computer. Now while your system is starting up press the appropriate button (usually F1, F2, F12, ESC, Backspace, or Escape) to bring up Bios Boot Menu.
    Change the startup order to boot USB by default, usually you will have to press F6 to move the selected USB device on top. Once done, save changes and restart the system.

  • How to re-install Microsoft Office

    Hi there
    I've recently restored my Acer Aspire V5-122P back to factory settings. I have been trying to re-install Microsoft Office. As I have already paid for it, I was wondering if it is possible to reinstall it without having to buy it again. I have a 25 character
    product key but I'm not sure whether it will be accepted or not - as this is the product key I used when I first bought my laptop.
    Sorry for the poor lack of information - I'm not the best with computer related stuff haha.
    Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Georgia :)

    Hi,
    You can reinstall Office and activate it with your original product key. As long as your hardware is not substantially different, Office product key will still works.
    If you have made changes to the hardware, then it will be considered as a new computer. You may choose the phone activation and activate the Office. You might check this link to see how to
    do a phone activation: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950929/en-us

  • How Can I install Microsoft Office to MBAir?

    I just bought new MBAir 11.6'' . And I don't know how to install Microsoft Office. I am just a new user.

    The most common method is to purchase download from Microsoft.  If you have already purchased office 2011 then download the trial and upgrade it with your key.

  • How to Sign in Microsoft Office 2011 on iMac?

    I installed Microsoft Office 2011 on my new iMac. Before starting to use it, I need to sign in but I could not. My husband bought the CD last year and installed Office to his MacBook Air. Should I use my his Apple ID to sign in?

    Hello
    This forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to Microsoft Office or your question in any way. If you have issues or questions about Office, it's probably best you post Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products.

  • How do I install Microsoft Office 2013 on my Mac via my Windows 8 Parallels Desktop 8 partition?

    I recently bought a copy of Windows 8, Microsoft Office 2013 and Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac.
    I wanted to install a Windows partition on my Mac so that I could run MS Office 2013 on a virtual machine.
    I set up the VM, and everything was looking fine and worked smoothly.
    Then, when I inserted the MS Office 2013 disk into the CD drive, nothing happened!
    I tried to install MS Office 2013 but to no avail.
    Does anyone know how to overcome this issue?
    Thanks.

    In the Configure menu item, under Virtual Machine, configure the CD/DVD to be recognized by your SuperDrive:
    The only drawback is that you have to quit Parallels for the drive to be recognized by the Mac again.
    I just purchased the Office 365 subscription for both Office 2011 on my Mac and Office 2013 on my Windows 7 side - sure makes life simpler, and less expensive.

  • How can i install microsoft office on my Mac mini from a CD-rom ?

    I recently bought a Mac mini and a microsoft Office on a CD-Rom.
    But i can't find anywhere i can insert the Cd-Rom in order to install the software... How can i do please ?

    Much easier than the above (from Ms website):
    Option 1: Convert your Office for Mac 2011 trial. To convert a trial version, you must have a valid product key. The product key will convert your trial into a fully licensed version of Office for Mac.
    Locate the 25-character product key in your product package or confirmation email.
    Open any Office for Mac application, like Word, PowerPoint, or Excel.
    On the first screen of the Microsoft Office Setup Assistant, click Enter your Product Key.
    Enter your product key and complete the installation instructions.
    Option 2: If you have not previously installed the trial version, you can download Office for Mac from the Office for Mac website. To download, install, and activate the software you must have a valid Office 2011 product key.
    Locate your 25-character product key found in your product package or confirmation email.
    Go to www.officeformac.com/download
    Click Get Started to start the download process.
    When prompted, enter your 25-character product key and select your product language.
    When prompted, sign in with your Windows Live ID or sign up and create a new Windows Live ID account.
    After you enter your Windows Live ID, you will see a link to download the software. (You will also receive a confirmation email with a link to your My Account page if you prefer to wait and download your software at a later time.)
    Click Download Now to start the download.
    Save the file to your desktop. Do not change the file name.
    When the download is complete, double-click the .dmg file icon on your desktop. This opens the Installer application in Mac OS X.
    Follow the instructions in the installer screens to complete your installation.

  • How do i install Microsoft office after I have downloaded it?, How do i install Microsoft office after I have downloaded it?

    I just purchased the microsoft office package and have successfully downloaded it; however I can't figure out how to install it.  I have dragged it over to the applications file but when I open it I only see gibberish text. What' the next step?

    Which one did you download?
    There are two versions of Office. One for the Mac and the other for Windows.
    Exactly where did you download it from?

  • How do I use microsoft office 2010 on imac?

    Hi, I would like to use microsoft office 2010 on my imac for school purposes, how can I accomplish that?

    I suggest that you get the student version of 2011 for mac. i believe it is around 120us or so on amazon or the apple store. The other option would be to use 2010 for windows running paralles or a similar Windows emulator.
    Cheers

  • How do I get Microsoft office from my iMac to my Macbook Pro

    I have an older paid for version of Microsoft Office. I believe it is 2011? Anyhow, I got a New/used fully updated Macbook Pro and I used my Time Capsule to transfer all my data from my iMac to my laptop, but much of the music is absent, as well as my purchased apps. How do I get these over? I do not have an optical drive so it is not as easy as reinstalling.

    If it's Office 2011 you can download a Trial at www.mactopia.com. You can then use your license key to make it a fully functional version.
    You can also download EasyFind 4.9 and use it to locate all the relevant Microsoft and office files located elsewhere on your old drive so you can transfer them to your new one.
