I cant install the Microsoft office 2011 program

Hi - I had installed the Microsoft Office 2011 program before and then there was an upgrade available. After doing the upgrade...there was a constant error message whenver I opened any related programs, so I deleted the program files. But now when I try to redownload it, there is an error message to say something like: "the office file is not found on this disk to perform this upgrage" (those are not the exact words). But it seems as though it's trying to upgrade but I want to reinstall the entire [program
Thanks!

Follow this guide to completely remove Office 2011

Then try installing it again.

    Are you running on a Retina machine? The lastest updates to Office 2011 support Retina display native mode - have you gone under the Help menu to see if there are updates available?

  • Is the microsoft office starter program that is on my computer a 90 day free trial

    is the microsoft office starter that is on my computer is a 90 day free trial

    Hi:
    Office 2010 Starter is not trialware. You can use it for free as long as you own your PC.
    It is ad supported software.
    You have the option to upgrade to another version of Office 2010 for a price.
    One thing that is important to know however.
    If you uninstall it, you can never reinstall it.
    If you have to recover your PC to factory specs the program is not included on the recovery partition or recovery disks.

  • Help on installing/opening Microsoft office 2011 v14.0.0 on Mavericks

    Hello Mac Users!
    I have updated from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mavericks few days ago. I have a previously installed Microsoft word 2011 on my 10.6.8. After the upgrade to Mavericks,  I am unable to open word, excel etc. and get a notification that " Check with the developer to make sure the version of Micrososft works with OS X. You may re-install the application and make sure to update OS for Software.
    I have tried to unistall completely, and have added a new user to test it. But unfortunately, and even after fresh installation nothing works. I have also run uninstall tool and removed all possible microsoft traces.
    Surprisingly when I locate Microsoft on the terminal it still shows /Applications/Microsoft 2011 (Which does not exist on finder)
    It has been also happening with third party softwares like yahoo messenger, Skype.
    I would really appreciate any quick fix for this. I am using Macbook mid-2010 model.
    Thanks in advance!
    I have posted a log here for a more detailed info.

    I have three suggestions in addition to getting rid of Trusteer Rapport and MacKeeper. Be sure you followed their respective uninstallation instructions. Do not attempt to uninstall them any other way.
    You disabled an essential component designed to protect your Mac from malware. Re-enable it: OS X: About Gatekeeper - Apple Support
    Update OS X. The version installed is over six months old. OS X Mavericks: Install, update, and uninstall apps
    2 GB memory is barely adequate for any recent Mac, let alone Microsoft's bloatware. For acceptable performance, 4 GB should be considered a more realistic minimum. Your Mac can address as much as much as 6 GB.
    http://store.apple.com/us/mac/mac-accessories/memory
    "Memory sold by the Apple Online Store is guaranteed to be compatible with your Macintosh."
    Other than Apple there are only two vendors with which I have personal experience and can recommend: Crucial and OWC. People have reported problems with many other brands, yet Crucial and OWC's prices are as good as any you are likely to find.
    Go to Crucial and download the little app that examines your system and recommends RAM upgrade options.
    Their prices are good but don't have to buy memory from them - determine what you need and buy it from Crucial or OWC / MacSales. 

  • How do I install the Microsoft Office, using a disk drive? Do I just insert the Microsoft office CD (the one that I puchased) into my CD drive? And do I follow the instructions from there?

    I'm going to buy a Macbook air soon, so I need to know how to operate some things. Thanks!
    P.S - PLEASE PLEASEE don't give me random info as I am a begginer! 

    Allan is a man of few (but wise) words. I'm going to answer your underlying question:  Apple has a websource just for Mac newbies, found here. If you are more comfortable with a physical book, David Pogue has written a fantastic manual about the  Mac OS - actually two books: one is especially for people who are coming to the Mac from Windows. They are the "Missing Manual for Mountain Lion" books and I recommend one or the other to all new Mac users.

  • MICROSOFT OFFICE 2004 PROGRAMS FOR MAC

    Please take your time to educate me how to remove the Office 2004 Test Drive installed and disable virus protection software on my computer while I am in the middle of Setup Assistance before installing the Microsoft Office 2004 programs into my computer.

    The Office 2004(test drive) folder is located inside of your Applications folder. Double click on Macintosh HD from the desktop then double click on Applications and look for the Office folder. The Trash icon will be located on the right side or bottom of your Dock depending on which orientation you have it. Once you have moved it to the trash then Empty the trash by right clicking on the trashcan and selecting "Empty Trash".
    That is just a default warning that only applies if you have installed specific Anti-Virus software on your Mac. Apple currently does not ship Macs with any kind of Anti-Virus programs installed so you do not need to worry about it.

  • How do I download microsoft office 2011 on a macbook pro without the cd?

    I have bought a microsoft office 2011 program. I wonder how I can download this on my comupter without using the cd?

    Get a external cd drive or return the cd to the store and download it instead.
    If you don't exactly need to use Office, there is a great donationware/free alternative that is compatible and totally cross platfrom (Linux, Windows and OS X) so your files are never locked up.

  • Microsoft Office 2011 "Recent Items"

    On my new iMac 27" (late 2013, according to the System Info, although delivered in late October 2014; 32 gigs of RAM) running OS X Yosemite v 10.10 all the Microsoft Office 2011 apps run fine and the apps show up in Recent Items under the Apple menu, but no MS Office documents do. Documents created in all other apps do appear in Recent Items, including a couple of Word and Excel files opened, renamed, and saved using Pages and Numbers, respectively.
    I spent about an hour on the phone with an Apple Care rep and a supervisor/specialist, neither of whom could figure out what was going on. As recommended, I reinstalled Yosemite (no help), and on my own deleted and reinstalled Office 2011, going through all the online updates. Again, no change.
    I trashed the plist for Recent Items (no help) and then removed the recentitems.plist.lockfile, which was there to the surprise of the specialist. From what I have read, its function is to keep the system from getting confused or overloaded if two programs are trying to write to the plist at the same time. A new recentitems.plist.lockfile was not created after I took it out of the Library/Preferences folder.
    I really don't want to do a clean install an d
    Any thoughts? This is not a critical flaw, but it is annoying.

    It seems to be an open issue for Yosemite. There is a workaround though:
    Recent items no longer creating links for recently opened word/excel documents

  • Can't open Microsoft Office 2011 even after unistalling then reinstalling. Error message comes up before launch. What do I do? Can I fix this? I need to activate Microsoft Office within 15 days!!

    I recently got a new MacBook Pro Running on OSX Mavericks and used Time Machine to move my documents and applications. However Microsoft Office Student/ Home applications did not work and requested a product key. I did not have the product key for it as I had installed Microsoft a long time ago, so I purchased a new Mincrosoft Office 2011 Student/Home Pin to install Microsoft Office. Everything installed fine, however when I go to open it it failed to open.
    I need to activate my Microsoft Office within 15 days apparently and this is done when the application is launched. However none of the Microsoft Office applications do Launch (not Word, Powerpoint, Excel or Outlook).
    Whenever I tried to open one of the named above the Microsoft Error Reporting App would pop up and list the errors. I was advised on other support pages to disenable this app so I have done that but now Word is now giving its own error message saying:

    I don't know or understand what is stopping me from launching my Misrosoft Office. I am wondering if others have encountered similar problems with OSX Mavericks and the Microsoft Office 2011? Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get it to launch?
    I need to get hold of my Word and Powerpoint Documents ASAP.

    This indicates you had a bad install. You need to completely remove Office and reinstall using your new CD Key. See instructions here. Do not do the simple remove, Use the COMPLETELY REMOVE ALL FILES steps.
    http://www.officeformachelp.com/2012/12/office-for-mac-2011-remove-office/
    so I purchased a new Mincrosoft Office 2011 Student/Home Pin to install Microsoft Office.
    You don't purchase a PIN. A PIN is generated when you install Office. You need a CD Key. If you bought Office365, you activate online.
    I have issues with the Microsoft User Data - are there supposed to be two? and where exactly do they belon. They are in the Documents file at the moment.
    Unless you used Outlook or Entourage you can delete both Microsoft User Data folders. When you install Office it will create a new one. Only Outlook & Entourage used this folder for data. W,E,P stores it's data in the User's Library/Application Support/Microsoft folder now.

  • Can I use microsoft office 2011  on my new iMac 2015

    I just purchased a new iMac desktop with Yosemite.  I am wanting to transfer my info from my 2009 Macbook Pro.  Will the Microsoft office 2011 work on the new computer or should I purchase the latest Office?

    As MS Office will be seeing a new hardware configuration, you will likely need your 25-character Product Key.

  • Microsoft Office 2011 Compatibility Issue

    I have experienced problems with Microsoft Office since upgrading to Mavericks -- specifically Word, which is the only Office application that I use regularly. Since upgrading, Word crashes when I go to open (most, although not all) existing Word files.
    The "Problem Report for Microsoft Word" message I get is as follows:
    Exception Type:  EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)
    Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE at 0x000000001cbd6000
    Notably, this problem only affects my primary workstation, which is a Mac Pro 2 x 2.8 Ghz Quad Core Intel Xeon desktop system. I don't seem to have the problem on my (2011) Macbook Pro.
    I have already downloaded the Microsoft Office 2011 Suite and reinstalled it. No help. Thoughts? This is fairly annoying and at times debilitating.
    Thanks -- Keith.

    Thanks Varjak. I'm willing to download and reinstall Office again, but I'm not sure what "support files" you're referencing here. Please advise.
    Also, I do not use Font Book, I use Linotype Font Explorer X Pro. I regularly delete font caches and remove duplicate fonts, etc.
    While you may not be experiencing any issues with Office in Mavericks on your systems, problems aren't unique to me. There are other discussions on Apple Forums. Here's one conclusion:

    Re: are there any issues with Mavericks OS with Office for Mac
    Nov 24, 2013 7:48 AM (in response to shldr2thewheel)
    It is a widespread issue and yes there are problems with Office 2011 but Microsoft will not address them.
    I believe I have a better chance of solving the problem by querying other Apple users who work in a similar environment.
    Thanks.

  • Can i install my Microsoft office in apple store???

    hi guys
    i have one of my friend
    she purchase macbook air 13 inch and she has her own microsoft office cd
    so she think she doesn't need the cd rom and she ask me if she can install the Microsoft office in apple store for free or not???
    thanks

    That isn't necessary. If she bought the CD, the CD holder should have a product key on it. She can go to Microsoft's website and enter the product key here to download it: https://www2.downloadoffice2010.microsoft.com/macdl/registerkey.aspx?culture=en- US&ref=macdl.

  • Installation and activation of microsoft office 2011 for mac

    I cannot activate the Microsoft office 2011 on my MBP. It keeps showing error message.

    As Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
    Office for Mac forums
    Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.
