Hello,
    I ran into the same issue today. I upgraded to Lion and my MS Office 2004 wouldn't work. As QuicktimeKirk said, that version was built for the PowerPC chip, not the current Intel chips. If you want to stay with MS-Office, there is no work around. You'll have to upgrade.
    My solution was to buy MS-Office Mac Home and Student 2011 - Family Pack from Amazon.com.
    I chose the download version and paid $99.82. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004E9SKBO/ref=oh_o00_d_i00_details
    I downloaded the file (~900MB) this afternoon and installed the software. No issues with the install. Make sure you print or screen print a copy of the license key.
    As a side note, my old version of Quicken 2007 also wouldn't work and I had to upgrade my old version of Parallels as well.
    I hope this helps.

10.6.8 introduces the Mac Application Store, the only way to download Lion on the web. However, you can purchase Lion on a USB dongle for $69 US from Apple.
Although you can't update Leopard from the dongle, you could clone the Leopard volume and erase and install Lion on the original partition and then use the Leopard compatible Migration Assistant. http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1434?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
All in all, cheaper to just buy Snow Leopard, and then buy Lion from the Mac Application Store.

Just uploaded apps from iPhone to Mac Pro but i can't open apps on mac pro?

Just uploaded apps from iphone to Mac pro but i can't open the apps - Why?

Hi richard915,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Do you mean that you transferred your purchases from the iPhone to your Mac pro? You can also set your Mac's iTunes preferences to automatically download purchases made to it. You'd have to check the specifics for the app that you are having an issue with, but some apps that are designed for the iPhone won't work on your Mac. Developers usually create two versions of their software.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

iTunes 11 for Mac: Automatically download new iTunes Store purchases to multiple computers and devices

Try this Safari5.1 from the installer package

The download worked better with Firefox not sure why. At the bottom of the page after the captcha>> slow down load is the Free link, it took about 4 minutes to download on my test.

Can't Open Microsoft Word 2011 on my Mac it crashes

I am hoping someone can help me. I can not open microsoft word 2011 on my mac book air (maverick operating system).
The problem actually did not happen until apple care helped me get rid of some malaware on my mac.
However as I google the problem and it seems to be something happening to a lot of people. I went thorough many forums and tried everything suggested (ie http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macexcel/microsoft-excel-has-encountered-a-problem-and/222d7f46-a092-4d8d-8f9d-e48c8a1a90ec?tab=MoreHelp)
I also restored the fonts and used another account user and it still does not work.
Does anyone have a suggestion. I am about to give up and use pages because I do not know what to do, I am stumped.
Thanks

I just down loaded lion and now every time i turn on the computer every single thing i had used in the last session opens up--how do i stop this?

I just loaded lion on my macbook pro, and everytime i turn on the computer, every thing i did in the last session, like word, instant messanger, sites, pop-up-how do i stop this and just get to my desktop when the computer is first turned on--please help!

Remember that you can just put your Macbook to sleep by closing the lid. Unless you're not going to use it for a few days this makes more sense than shutting it down. I sleep my MBP overnight and it uses about 3% of battery power. I only shut it down if I install updates.

I have just down loaded Lion and now I find my iMac is not Antivirus protected

I tried to click on the Antivirus icon but nothing happened it is still at OFF So I tried clicking on the icon in Appliications but No still at off so what can I do help please/

Since there are NO KNOWN VIRUSES for the Mac, you don't have to do anything. If you just feel like you have to have it, see if there is a Lion compatible version of whatever you were running. Or........you could just send me the upgrade money and we'd both be happy!

I down loaded Lion and now I can not access Quicken

I down loaded Lion and now I cannto acces Quicken or any of my financial information. What do I do? Is there any way for me to be able to access Quicken again?

cglasgow123, although you should have checked compatibility of your apps with Lion before upgrading, since any major system update can cause these sorts of problems, that does not help you solve your problem. Just keep it in mind for the future, so you don't make the same mistake.
There are a number of Quicken replacements out there. See Finding a Replacement for Quicken for some excellent guidance. I strongly suggest you begin migrating to one of these programs soon, as Intuit has a very poor record with how it treats its Mac-using customers. They have promised an update to the years-outdated Mac version of Quicken "sometime in the spring." I wouldn't hold my breath, though.
You could try using Quicken Essentials in the short term, which is a dumbed-down version of Quicken for Mac users that will run on Lion.
If nothing else works for you, and you absolutely have to run your old copy of Quicken, you have three choices. One, you could install Snow Leopard and Quicken on an external hard drive and boot from that whenever you need to use Quicken. Two, you could install Snow Leopard Server in a virtual machine and run it, and Quicken, within Lion. (Post over on the Snow Leopard Server forum for assistance with that, I don't know the details.) Three, you could revert to Snow Leopard entirely, though that will be a painful process requiring you to erase your hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard and everything else from scratch.

How can I access my Excel and MS word docs now that I down loaded Lion?

How can I access my Excel and MS word docs now that I down loaded Lion?

Isn't it the kind of question which would have been better asked before switching to Lion ?
Of course it would be more logical to ask in a M…oSoft dedicated forum.

Have just down loaded Yosemite over Mountain Lion, Indesign CS5 does not work ( Am dependant on it) although Bridge , Light Room and Elements operate OK How do I solve this rapidly. Can any one help on this issue. Thanks

Sorry to say it, but I think you can see from Bob's response that there's no way to solve this rapidly.
Did you take an image of your Mountain Lion install before upgrading to Yosemite? Roll back to that. If you're not in the habit of taking a snapshot of your system before performing operating system upgrades - get in that habit. If you are dependent on anything at all on hour computer, having a reliable backup method in place is essential. If you don't have a Time Capsule, or some other way to run Time Machine onto a disk that's not in your computer, go set that up yesterday.
If you can't just remove Yosemite and roll back to Mountain Lion for whatever reason, you can partition your drive so that you can install both Yosemite and Mountain Lion on the same drive, and then boot into Mountain Lion when you need to work in CS5. Or you can take your Mountain Lion disc (I assume you have one, no?) and then use it to create a virtual machine in something like VirtualBox to run Mountain Lion from inside Yosemite.
