Problems with Office for Mac 2011 installation
I'm trying to install Office for Mac 2011 on my new (bought yesterday) Macbook Air
I entered my pin for the Office into the site and got my download link
I started to download it and it said it would take over 4 hours and when the download got to halfway (of 1GB) the installation stopped and the message given was 'You do not have permission to access the requested file' and this came up every time I tried to restart it
I decided to re-install the program but was met with the same issue..
Can anybody offer any advice or explanation for this it would be greatly appreciated!You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). CAN open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done yesterday or the day before (or maybe a Silverlight or an Acrobat one by accident?). Have repaired disc permissions. HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks

After the latest OS X update (10.9.2) I cannot open Outlook (Office for MAC 2011). Outlook flashes briefly but does not open. How can I get Outlook to open?
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports (not "Diagnostic and Usage Messages") for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report — they're very long and not helpful. -
I'm trying to install Microsoft Office for Mac 2011. Halfway through the installation, the MacBook Air tells me that I must close Safari for the installation to continue. As far as I can tell, Safari IS closed. I can't discover any process that will close it any more than it is now. Installer won't let me shut down or re-start the computer because it (Installer) is still running.
What am I missing?The MS installer seems to think Safari is active so try the following...
Right-click on the Safari icon in the Dock and if applicable, select Quit.
or
Try Utilities > Activity Monitor and look for Safari in the Process Name column. If present, highlight Safari and then click the Quit Process icon. -
Can't update office for mac 2011
when i try to update office for mac 2011 i get a message "can't be installed on this disk. a version of the software required to install this update was not found on this volume"
It means you are trying to install an update that requires that an earlier update first be installed. Office updaters are not cumulative. If you've never updated it then you will need to download and install all prior updates or use the Microsoft Automatic Update Manager software (which is a separate download) or open an Office application and select the Check for Updates option in one of the menus.

Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.4.2 Update fix for fusion drives
Improves activation in Office for Mac 2011
This update fixes an issue in which product activation is always required after you restart a computer that uses an Apple Fusion Drive. After you install this update, product activation may be requested one more time.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2970766I don't normally advocate users re-install Office to fix an issue but in your case I think it's worth a try. The Mavericks update seems to have fixed the issue for most users. I would suggest the complete removal rather than the simple removal of dragging the Office folder in Applications to the trash.

HT1148 Office for Mac 2011 upgrade
How do I direct the Office for Mac 2011 service pack 2 where to find the program which isn't installed in the applications folder?
Hi,
For exerything to work correctly, I would put the Office 2011 folder is in the Applications folder. But there might be an option in the installer to select a different destination for the update if you have the Office 2011 folder located somewhere else.
Next, open Word and go to the help menu and come down to Check for Updates and follow the setps to download the latest update.
Hope this helps. -
Memory deficiency related to AutoUpdate shipped with Office for Mac 2011
Hi ,
I am experiencing memory deficiency associated with Microsoft AutoUpdate for about a month or two.
Environment
* Macbook Pro with 8G RAM, 256GB SSD Running Mac OS 10.10.1 (Yosemite)
* Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 installed through my Office 365 University subscription a few months ago.
* The "Outlook 2011.app" has been deleted and is substituted by the new Outlook for Mac 15.3 (141024), as is suggested by its installation note.
* System and Office languages are both simplified Chinese.
Symptom
Office programmes like "Excel.app" regularly invoke Microsoft AutoUpdate (Version 3.0 (141024) ) and suggest that a new update is available. If the user agrees, AutoUpdate will proceed to download the update. It is found by monitoring memory usage using "Activity Monitor.app", the memory usage rises significantly overtime a short while after the download begins. And the memory usage eventually saturates a few minutes later and the system warns instability due to memory deficiency, and suggests force quit some apps.
* No other app seems to be causing this problem, which is verified by quitting any app other than "/Library/Microsoft/MAU2.0/Microsoft AutoUpdate.app".
* The symptom is reproducible for today's update, and it was the same for the last update. But as far as I can remember, the auto-update worked well before that.
The problem makes auto-update impossible and has resulted in instability and loss.
The workaround that I have at this time is to download the update package (.pkg in .dmg) from Microsoft Download Center by following the Knowledge Base link given by AutoUpdate instead of having AutoUpdate do this for me.
Thank you for reading this far :-)
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem?Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper (v 2.8). Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
The effects of having actually used MacKeeper to do anything are a completely different matter. The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use such ill-conceived "cleaning" or "security" products. This is just one example of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing damage that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Never install such junk on a Mac.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk. -
Installing Microsoft Office for Mac 2011
I have a Macbook Pro 5.3 Boot ROM Version MBP53.00AC.B03 with SMC Version 1.48f2. The computer will not read the software for installing Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 (Home and Student). An alert blocks installing of the Firmware 1.7 Update. Mac Support said the problem is the Microsoft software. Microsoft said the problem is the Macbook Pro. Does anyone know how to resolve the problem so the Office 2011 can be installed?
Message was edited by: dunndlAn alert blocks installing of the Firmware 1.7 Update
Firmware updates and Office 2011 are unrelated and have nothing to do with each other.
If the firmware won't install, then post your question in the OS X forums.

If this question is strictly related to the installation of Office, then 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 -
Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 Standard Issue
The first time a user loads Office for Mac it runs the first time launch which creates that users preference files so unless you run it for each user then they will receive those prompts. As for the DB issue I would probably run a permission repair on the startup disk as well as ensure that you run Office updates for each user (I have seen a few installs that require an update run for each user for whatever reason).
AfternoonWe are in the process of upgrading our iMac and in doing sowant to make use of Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 Standard (Volume License). Our iMac’s arejoined to a Windows domain, therefore several users will be using them daily.Our iMac’s are currently running Yosemite 10.10.4, and Office2011 has had all its available updates applied.However every time we logon as a different user, Officebehaves as if it has been run for the first time. Users are prompted for name, organization,updates, CIP etc…In addition, after the user has gone through the above steps,the user is then greeted by the infamous message that the Office database hasbeen damaged and that it needs to be rebuilt. Users can ignore this message butit’s still an inconvenience.Is there any way we could customise the installation so thatthe end users do not receive these...

Fusion drive solution to activate Office for Mac 2011
Activating Office 2011 is a known issue for Fusion Drive Macs.
Activation is tied to the drive. According to Microsoft the solid state part of the Fusion Drive generates a new disk id every time the Mac is started. So Mac Office thinks it a new system at each startup and will require activation.
This solution was suggested by Microsoft Support. Please let us know if this works for you.
Follow the steps below to remove the “Thunderbolt bridge”:
1. Click on the Apple icon and click on “System Preferences”
2. Click on “Network”
3. Look for “Thunderbolt Bridge” on the left side.
4. Highlight the Bridge and click on the “-” sign to remove it.
5. Restart the computer and enter the Product key for Microsoft Office. Restart again.

Office for mac 2011 not working correctly on new Macbook Pro- Help
I have a MacBook Pro from September and had One to One transfer all files/programs (including 2008 Office). I then purchased the Office for Mac 2011 program and they installed it (I guess they did not remove the older program). It has never worked correctly and I have tried to contact Microsoft to no avail.
None of the documents open with Fonts intact (Word and Excel open up blank though the graphic elements show up. I have to Select All and choose a font to make it show up.
Powerpoint is barely functional (none of the layouts actually show up when I select them, the sidebar of slides does not update as I type or try to change themese, etc. And then when I type, the program freezes and then shuts down.
I have uninstalled 2008 and 2011 and then re-installed 2011 but the same issues occur. Someone on the microsoft community told me to remove my duplicate fonts, I ddi that and the same issues still occur. My brother has the same laptop and Office for Mac 2011 and no issues.
Can someone help me basically try to start fresh- should I uninstall again? (I waas told that installing/uninstalling too many times can further the problem).
Help!

Is InDesign CS4 compatible with Office for Mac 2011?
Having trouble importing copy from 2011 Word docs to InDesign. Very small business cant justify updating from ID CS4. Just updated to Office for Mac 2011, however, and am now having trouble placing text into InDesign. Should I remove 2011 and go back to 2008?
As someone who never Places Office-formatted text in InDesign, I've also never considered issues of "compatibility" between any versions of the two application suites. Is the Office formatting critical? Unless you have some elaborate style-mapping import scheme in play, why not just save the Office document as text and Place that?
