I am not able to close Microsoft Database Daemon or SyncServicesAgent applications to install Office 2011 14.4.1 update.  Could you assist me?  Thanks in advance

The updater should close those processes for you - it didn't used to do so but should now.
If it won't quit the processes for you, open Activity Monitor (Applications>Library folder), search for the processes and quit them. You should be able to install the update now.
I just find it odd that the updater isn't quitting the processes on its own..

    Trying to install MS Office 2011 for Mac SP 2 (14.2.0) on my Macbook Air (Lion 10.7.3). I have to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent but can not see how to do so.  I have closed all applications.  Can anyone help? Many thanks

    Thanks Kurt!  I had tried all that and had tried closing both programmes from the application monitor, but SyncServices Agent refused to close.  I tried closing Launchd which is their mother application, but that just caused the screen go go blank.  In the end the two programmes let themselves be closed next time I tried the installation process so all was well.  Thanks for your help!

  • How do I close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent

    I cannot update my Microsoft software on my iMac as it keeps asking me to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent.  I cannot find out how to do this... hence I have not updated Microsoft on my iMac since I have had it. What are they for anyway?  Any help would be great - thank you.

    Found an answer. Go to your Outlook, select Tools, SyncServices, untick all the boxes. Close Outloook, go to Activity Monitor and quit Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent. This time they'll stay closed.
    Once your software update has finished go back to Outlook syncservices and retick the boxes.
    Painful example of Apple and Microsoft software not talking to each other very well.

  • How do i close microsoft database daemon and syncservicesagent to install office 2011

    I am trying to install update 14.3.2 for Office 2011, but keep getting notice to close MSFT database daemon and syncservicesagent.  Can't figure out how to do this.

    The easiest way is to do it using Activity Monitor, an app that it's stored on /Applications/Utilities. Just open it, search the processes that belong to "Microsoft Database Daemon" and "syncservicesagent", and kill them.
    If you don't want to use Activity Monitor or you don't want headaches, another possibility is to install this Office update in safe mode, to make sure that no Office for Mac processes are opened. To start in safe mode, hold the Shift key while your computer is starting until you see the Apple logo. Then, log in your admin user, install the Office for Mac update and restart as usual

  • Can't download office 2011 updates, need to close Microsoft Database Daemon SyncServicesAgent

    Can't download office 2011 updates.
    Message says need to close:
    Microsoft Database Daemon
    SyncServicesAgent
    don't know how

    Open Activity Monitor (Applications>Utilities>Activity Monitor) select the processes (one at a time), double click one process, when box comes up, select force quit and repeat for remaining application. Note: for some reason I had to do this twice before it worked.

  • Down loading Microsoft Office update get error message to close applications microsoft database daemon and sync services agent

    when downloading microsoft office update get message to close microsoft database daemon and sync services agent. Shouldn't these be closed automatically? I try to close them, but the message still says they need to be closed.  Help!

    Are you using Outlook 2011 or Outlook 2015? I don't seem to have any relevant sync settings under Preferences -> Other in Outlook 2015.

  • Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent won't close so I can't upgrade software. Any advice?

    Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent won't close when trying to install software update. How do I do this?

    A message to quit applications occurs in Office for Mac
    If you see a message to "quit the following applications"  while installing an update for Microsoft Office for Mac  (See image) , click Continue, and then quit the applications listed in the message. To quit an application, click its name on the Apple menu bar, and then click Quit <application name> or press COMMAND Q. You can also quit an application if it has an icon in the Dock by pressing the CONTROL key, clicking the icon, and then clicking Quit.
    You'll also have to turn off Sync Services in Outlook. To do this, start Outlook, click Outlook > Preferences, and then choose Sync Services under Other. Uncheck all boxes and then quit Outlook.
    You should now be able to install the update for Office.
    NOTE The message to quit applications may also appear if you're installing Microsoft Office for Mac. Follow the same steps to quit the applications before you install Office.

  • Datareader is not able to connect with database-Urgent

    Hi All,
    All of a sudden the Datareader component in my ML experiment is not able to connect with database with the following error:
    [ModuleOutput] DllModuleHost Error: 1 : Program::Main encountered fatal exception: Microsoft.Analytics.Exceptions.ErrorMapping+ModuleException: Error 0000: Internal error ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.ArgumentException: The value's length for key 'password' exceeds it's limit of '128'.
    Module finished after a runtime of 00:00:00.2031339 with exit code -2
    Module failed due to negative exit code of -2
    It complains about the password being long-but the same credentials I have been using for the last 2 months and still able to use it to run sql queries on that same database using the management portal.
    It appears that Azure encrypts the password and that encrypted password is too long...just my guess after looking that the output.Inside Ml it just says as internal error
    Would appreciate if someone can point to the issue at the earliest...(There is a demo early next week)

    which is an experiment which I created doing save as of the experiment in which the data reader works.
    I stripped everything except the data reader and setup the rest of the components...I finally have to write the results back ,so also pulled a Writer component.
    Now,the data reader works fine..but the Writer fails:
    Error 0071: Incorrect username "acnadmin" or password is passed
    Strangely,its the same credentials set in the DataReader.
    Looks like all the DataInput/Output components created recently only have the problem.
    Once again,while the datareader in this case passes the password in plain text,the writer encrypts,hence fails.
