I downloaded office Mac and i try to open a document and it doesn't work. it tell me "to create and edit, please activate Word" so i press activate and then it i try to fix it by reinstalling it but it doesn't work
so what do i do
If you don't have the 'product key' you won't be able to activate the software. If you are in a pinch you can try downloading directly from Microsoft and using a free trial of office 365. Or you can use any number of free software options such as 'open office' or 'libre office', or 'google docs'; I think they can open word documents. I would probably go to Outlook.com and make a free email account. You will have access to the free online version of Office (word, powerpoint, excel, and onenote). Good Luck.

I downloaded mountain lion and then the new office suite (word, ppt, excel) but now when I try to display one of my ppt's it says 'ppt cannot open the file...the file may be corrupt, in use, not a type recognized by ppt etc.." how can I fix it?? HELP
Did you try to open teh fle by double-clicking its icon? If the file was made with an older version of Office, you may get that message. Try opeing PP and, from its "File" menu, see if you can open the ppt. I've foundthat often gets around that message and then yo ucan save the file from the newer version.
If that doesn't work, consider asking in the Microsoft Office: Mac forums here:
Office for Mac forums
PowerPoint is not an Apple product and it seems a lot of people around here avoid Office. -

I have a mac OS 10.8.2 and I want to download office mac 2008 however it is a cd rom and my comp doesnt have a cd rom. Is there any way to still download it without buying an external disk drive?
Yes, if you have access to another computer with an optical drive. You can connect the two computers via your home network and use File Sharing to transfer the installer to your HDD. You can also use:
DVD or CD sharing- Using Remote Disc

Downloading Office mac 2011, selecting language.
Downloading Office mac 2011, selecting language.
I want to use Japanese, English, and Chinese on Office word/excel.
When downloading Office Mac, which language should I choose?
Or it does not matter which language to choose when downloading??
Thank you for your help!
Sorry that I am not really good at computer. This is my first time to set up my computer from zero..You should choose the language you want to have the menus and dialogues appear in. That has nothing to do with typing different languages, you can always do that no matter what language your app is in. (Except you should note that Word for Mac does not support typing in RTL or Indic scripts).
For questions about Office, best use the forums run by the people who make it

I just upgraded to OSXYosemite on my Mac and then tried to use my Photo Shop. It said to download JavaForOSX2014-001-dmg...so I did. Then I attempted to open PS again and an error message came up which said, "an unexpected and unrecoverable problem has occurred. Photoshop will now exit. What should I do?
Which version of photoshop?
You'll probably need to reinstall photoshop and then apply any needed updates.

Problems Downloading Office Mac 2011
Just purchased and downloaded office mac. I have downloaded it but it only appears as a document file and will only open with TextEdit. How do I fully install it?
Can you tell what the name of the file that you downloaded is? (specifically the type of file it is would be good to know)
How big is that file?
You say that when you double-click it, TextEdit opens. What does it display? Gabrled text/symbols? Or is it text you can actually read? -

when i open iphoto i see my photo's for 1 second and then they are gone .The photo's are still there but i can see them only on the bottom or top of my screen when i try to open them i get a sign that it is not possible.Can somebody please help me?
Have you upgraded to iPhoto 9.6 for compatibility with Yosemite? If not, try that first.
It looks like iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails and the original image files.
This can be caused by a corrupted iPhoto library, or the originals have been deleted or moved.
Try first to rebuild your iPhoto Library:
If you do not have a current backup of the iPhoto library, make a copy of the library, but do not overwrite any previous backup.
Launch iPhoto with the ⌥⌘-key combination (option-command) held down.
Select "rebuild" from the first aid panel. This may take a while for a large library.
Can you now see your photos again?
If not, rebuild the library with iPhoto Library manager as described by Old Toad: Re: iphoto crashed -

Is the iPod still singed into the account isn Settings>iTunes and App Stores and SettingsZ>iCloudl? If it is then I would not be concerned.

For the other "problem", go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPod....automatically syncing. -
hi, i've just bought my first macbook pro, i just installed office mac and when i open the page i cannot see the minimise maximise and close buttons as it's hidden behind the apple menu bar, also when it's at full screen, those buttons do not appear
Try to edit the size of the page using the sides of the page, or if you are desperate, force quit using command-Q. In full screen put your cursor on the top of the page, and the menu bar will appear. If it doesn't keep "pushing" it up until it does. Hope this helps!
