I want to use my DVD from my WIndows 7 Computer to install Office 2011 for Mac. How do I make this work?
I want to install Mac Office from my DVD drive located on my Windows 7 computer. How do I make this work?
Well, it sounds as though you are trying to install Windows software on a Mac computer.
If that's really what you want to do, you have another project to do first. You could use Apple's Boot Camp software or 3rd party software such as Parallels or VMWare. If so, you have some reading and research to do.
Or maybe you are trying to use Remote Disc? Here is a link to using Remote Disc for Windows:

I hope that this gets you started. Good luck.

How can I be able to use my Windows publisher files on my Mac computer, since Microsoft office 2011 for Mac doesn't have Publisher? What's most recommended software to use for this purpose?
Just an FYI here Allan, and clinton.
Version 4.0 or newer of Libre Office can open and edit Publisher files, this is fairly new, you may not have noticed it yet,
I tested it last week for another OP, it works very well, so finally there is a Mac application that can replace Publisher.
Here's a link to the post.

Can't activate Office 2011 for mac (downloaded from office 365 portal)
Hello All,
I've installed Office 2011 for mac which was downloaded from office 365 Portal. However, during installation process there was not a windows for activation (key or sign in method).
Is there a way to force activation on Office 2011 for mac?
Note: I've deleted office 365 com.microsoft.office.plist but i didn't get a windows for activation.
MacbookPro Version 10.10.2
Regards
JOHi,
If you downloaded Office 2011 for Mac, you may not need a product key to activate it. Office 365 uses a new mechanism that the activation is based on your Office 365 Account instead of a product key.
Anyway, in this forum we mainly discuss questions and feedbacks about Office for Windows, as your question is about Office for Mac, I suggest you post the question in Office for Mac forum:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac
I've also noticed this question is actually more related to the activation, you may need to contact the local customer service to get more dedicated assistance:

i want to deactivate Photoshop CC on a PC and instal it on a Mac. how do i do this? there is no 'deactivate' in PS CC Help menu
my information is that installing a third instance of CC will automatically sign you out from one of the previous two currently active installations.
My understanding is that signing in to activate a 3rd instance of CC deactivates all previous activations
Maximum Activations Exceeded launching subscription or Creative Cloud products
It's a brute force means of resetting your entire activation status if one or more previous activations is no longer available to deactivate. -
When I installed the recent updates for Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, my iCal calendar was wiped out, as was the calendar on my iPhone. I'd rather use iCal than Office and was attempting to phase Office out altogether. Now, all of my information is on the Office calendar but not iCal. The iCloud version of my iCal calendar is not up to date. In any event, I couldn't figure out how to send that info to the iCal on my mac or my phone. How can I sync my Office calendar info to iCal? If that's not possible, how can I get my Office calendar to sync with my iPhone? All of my sync services are set up in iTunes and on my phone. This happened to me once before and I spent hours on the phone with Apple and on the web trying to work it out. I NEED MY CALENDAR!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!
As that's not an Apple product, you may get more help by using Microsoft's Office for Mac forums:
Office for Mac forums
The other concern I have is that Office 2011 requires an Intel-based Mac and you posted in the older iMac (pre-Intel or "PPC") forums. If you have an Intel-based iMac (Apple menu > About this Mac..." will say "Intel" if you do) then I think you'll get faster and more accurate ansers to other questiosn in the Apple forums for newer iMacs here:

What is the easiest method to convert your Outlook Mail from MS Office 2011 for Mac, into Apple Mail?
As best I can see from googling it, there is NO easy direct way with Apple's builtin tools. If you Google it you will find that many software companies are selling Apps specifically designed for this purpose. Good luck.
Hope this helps -
Sent messages from secondary account are not saved in Outlook 2011 for Mac
We are using a shared email account added in Outlook 2011 for Mac. It's not the default account but we send from it often.
Whenever sending from this secondary mailbox, the message is not saved in sent items folder under the secondary mailbox or the default mailbox. There seems to be no record of the sent item anywhere.
I verified the message is sent and received.
All microsoft updates have been applied and we are using Exchange 2010.Hello,
Please first log into OWA and check if the email are saved in the Sent Items folder.
We can tick the option "Save copies of messages in Sent Items folder" in Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013 to save a copy of sent message, please check if you get such option in Outlook for Mac.
In addition, in Outlook for Windows, we can change a registry key to force Outlook to save sent emails in the default or secondary mailbox, but I'm not sure if Outlook 2011 has such trick. See:
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/278
Since this forum is general questions and feedback related to Outlook for Windows, it's better to post your question to the forum for Mac:

Spell Check Not Working on Office 2011 for Mac (Word) from Today!
Help please
Jumped on my Mac tonight to right a report in Word (2011 for Mac), been using this before Xmas and in years past other Office for Mac versions. Never any problems with the spell check before i.e. red wiggly line appears so you can review or amend as necessary, but no red line tonight!
I have being playing around with the settings > preferences > spelling - I leave the "Hide spelling errors in this document" unchecked, but still it dosent seem to work anymore.
I am the only person who uses my Mac and I haven't changed any settings so I can not understand why this is happening now.
If anyone can help, please do as I miss my reb wijgly anb mi speling is rudish without ip!
Thanks JohnSince Office is Microsoft software, please post your question on MS' own forums for their Mac software, as Apple Discussions only provide support for Apple products: http://www.officeformac.com/productforums

I Have been using PP since 1.5 I am now on CS6 but the last 3 updates have been on upgrade DVDs. I now need to delete and reinstall Premier. How can I do this without a CS6 disk. I cannot reinstall CS3 and then do the upgrades individually as CS3 was for Win XP and I'm not sure it would work. Is there a dept in Adobe I can contact (no telephone numbers) to get a CS6 DVD. Thank you for any assistance.
Adobe has made this process much simpler in recent years.
No need to re-install any version earlier than the current version (CS6). All installers (upgrade or full) contain the full program code. The difference between full and upgrade is in the serial number.
All you need do is download (link below) and install CS6, enter the CS6 upgrade serial number then enter the CS5 serial number (even if that too is an upgrade).

Office 2011 for Mac - Error rebuilding database following full restore from Time machine
This is my first time on here, so will try to be brief and specific.
I have been using Outlook without issues. I had a logic board failure and had to replace my logic board on my Macbook pro.
After repair, I then restored the entire computer from my Time machine backup
Everything worked perfectly until I tried to use Outlook, when I was given an error message saying "Your Office database index is missing and needs to be rebuilt. This is usually caused by restoring an identity with Time Machine." It then offers
me a chance to rebuild using the Database Utility.
I went ahead and tried to rebuild, but after running through the 5 steps, the task failed and I was given another error msg: :Your database could not be rebuilt [-18000]
I did some research online and found an article which suggested I go back in time on my Time machine and find an old version of my 'Main Identity' folder from when Outlook was working. Then to copy that folder,
rename it 'Restored Main Identity' and paste it into the 'Office 2011 Identities' folder on my HD.
I have done that, so it now appears with the other identities in the Microsoft Database Utility, and then tried to rebuild again, but still no luck.
Any ideas on how I can get around this issue…. don't really understand how Outlook is the only thing that I can't get working after restoring my old data.
Tried to get some help from Microsoft, but they pointed me to this forum or wanted to charge me for advice…
Any help would be much appreciated,

Just need to download an earlier version of firefox, either 3.5 or 3.6 for vista operating system. How do I do this?
The fafsa.gov site does not currently support Firefox newer than version 3.6.x. That is their choice.
You can install Firefox Portable version to use only on that site and use your installed Firefox 5 for everything else. Firefox Portable installs in a separate folder on your hard drive so that it does not interfere with your Firefox 5.0.1 settings or personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc.). You can also install Firefox Portable on a USB/thumb/pin drive.

So i already tranferd my itunes library to my seagate freeagent EHD, and i want to remove all my music from my laptop to free up space. How can i have all my music show up on my itunes when i plug in my EHD?
First, make sure you have really transferred the whole library. If you did this with changing preferences you did not do it right.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.
Always make sure the drive is on before starting iTunes. -
When I click on a link in Thunderbird to open a web page, and Firefox is not already open, I want to have the user profile screen presented so that I can select which profile to use for the Firefox session. Instead, it opens the last used profile. Is there a way to do this?
That is is always a problem when you are using multiple profiles and Firefox isn't running.
It might work if no profile is selected (i.e. marked as Default=1 in profiles.ini).<br />
You can use desktop shortcut that open with a specific profile (-P "profile").<br />
There is also a setting in the Profile Manager (Don't ask at startup).
