Installing Office 2011 on iMac

Does anyone know which additional file I need in order to install Office 2011 on my iMac? I downloaded the MS suite but can't install it because Mac needs some other file in order to do the install. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

Csound1,
The message states "Office 2011 14.3.9 update can't be installed on this disk. A version of the software required to install this update was not found on this volume."
Thanks,

Unable to install Office 2011 on newly installed HD

I had to replace a dead hard drive on my old 2007 iMac. Now I am unable to install Office 2011 on an iMac that had this version of office before the old HD died. I know there are restrictions on the number of installations. Must I purchase Office 2011 again or is there another legal option?

How is the program failing to install? You should be able to install the program no matter what, but when you run it you should get an activation window. At this point you'd enter your serial number ... and depending on how Microsoft is creating its special ID code for each computer, the new drive may or may not make the activation computer think you are activating a different computer.
If the problem is that you cannot even install the program, you should be able to download it from Microsoft's website and use your serial number to reactivate. If the activation fails you can call Microsoft and explain the situation. This is something I've done frequently since I also work with Windows. In most cases a quick explanation of the circumstances resolves the issue.

Unable to install office 2011

I am a new iMac user and have a clean upgrade to Lion. I tried to install office 2011 by DVD and when the progress upto 70%, a window pops up saying that office cannot be installed when safari is loading on the background. However, I didn't run safari when I was installing the office. What am I going to do to install the office?

This was a good hint with the activity Monitor, i had closed Safari but had Not Seen the Light bue Button below Safari and the activity Monitor showed 7 threads being ongoing. After closing Safari safely the installation was Done in a jiffy thanks a Lot :)

I installed Office 2011 on my new I-mac. Excell will not open???

I installed Office 2011 on my new Mac, Why will Excel not open?

First restart the Mac, then try to start Excel again, if it fails go to Mactopia Downloads for Office 2011, download all updates for Office 2011, (there are 3) apply the in order (14.02 is first, 14.13 last) follow the instructions, you may have to restart your computer more than once.
Oh, and if it does start when you try it is still important to do the updates.

Unable to install Office 2011(365) on Macbook Pro Yosemite

Hello,
I'm unable to install Office 2011 (as an invitation for Office 365) on my Macbook Pro retina 10.10.1.
Everything goes well until I get to the install part and the setup does not ask me for password, effectively halting the installation. What can I do?
I tried to download 2 times, use safe boot... I can install any program (including Outlook) but not Office 2011... help?
I uploaded a video of my 11th try to youtube...

In Pictures:
It goes well until this part:
But this never appears:
This is an admin user trying to install.

I am not able to close Microsoft Database Daemon or SyncServicesAgent applications to install Office 2011 14.4.1 update. Could you assist me? Thanks in advance

The updater should close those processes for you - it didn't used to do so but should now.
If it won't quit the processes for you, open Activity Monitor (Applications>Library folder), search for the processes and quit them. You should be able to install the update now.
I just find it odd that the updater isn't quitting the processes on its own..

Problem Installing Office 2011

I'm having a problem installing Office 2011 on a 11" MacBook Air running OS 10.7.2. I've tried installing from a remote disk with the Office CD and installing a trial version downloaded from the Office website but neither has worked.
Everything seems to install correctly, but when you try to click on any icon to start up, the icon bounces once or twice, then nothing else happens.
Any ideas?

See if anyone here can help you: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/support

Installed Office 2011, now Times New Roman is whacked in Pages '09

I finally had to cave in and install Office 2011 to edit a complex docx that was sent to me. But now all the Times New Roman font in all of my Pages documents have morphed into a very ugly spaced-out mess. Is there any way to return my files to their previous format?

thanks for the tip. I seem to have fixed the problem in the documents, but it was not what you thought. There was only 1 Times New Roman in the font book. I right-clicked on it and now all my text is OK (I have no idea what I did, except the font list flashed to Calibri, what Word 2011 is using as a default). BUT, both before and after this fix, the listing for Times New Roman in the font book appears as a bunch of pictographs of symbol keys. My main problem is solved (for now...), but I am not declaring the question answered until the font list weirdness is gone.

I can't install Office 2011 on my retina MBP. Any ideas?

I can't install Office 2011 on my retina MBP. Any ideas?

It's a Retina MBP that has no aftermarket software on it. I'm trying to install Office 2011 from the install DVD. The message (unhelpfully), at what one hopes is the end of the install says that there has been an error and the install has failed. I have disabled the privacy setting to allow the MBP to accept installs from "anywhere" to no avail.
The disc goes in fine and the process starts but ends with a install failed message.

New iMac- installed Office 2011, default font troubles

A friend just purchased a 25" iMac. All is well, until I install MS Office 2011. I haven't seen this, but she reports font problems (foreign language defaults or file import gibberish, I don't now). Is this a common complaint. The OS is Mavericks.

The font conflicts came from the installation of Office 2011. It installs a handful of old, OS 9 style TrueType fonts that conflict with the newer OpenType fonts installed by OS X. While you already did use Font Book to resolve the conflicts (it turned one or the other off), you should remove the offending older fonts from the drive.
Remove the following Mac legacy TrueType suitcase fonts from the /Library/Fonts/Microsoft/ folder:
Andale Mono
Arial Black
Arial Narrow
Arial Rounded Bold
Comic Sans MS
Georgia
Impact
Tahoma
Trebuchet MS
Note that the older fonts do not have a file extension, such as .ttf . Font Book doesn't like it when you manually remove fonts from the drive. So after getting rid of the old fonts, do the following to reset Font Book's database.
Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point. Yosemite is a bit different. Whether it's a Safe Mode boot or a normal one, you get the same progress bar. It just takes longer to get to the desktop in Safe Mode. So hold the Shift key until you get to the desktop.
OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.
All in all, since the conflicts have already been resolved, you don't have to do any of this. But Font Book doesn't tell you which version of a conflicting font it disabled. For all the user knows, the much older fonts could be the active ones, and many newer apps don't work well with non Unicode fonts.

Should I uninstall Office 2004 for Mac after installing Office 2011 on new iMac ?

Replacing an aging G5 with a refurb 2011 iMac. The G5 has Office 2004 on it. When I migrate to the new iMac, do I need to move the Office 2004 to the new machine to not lose any documents ? And then unistall it on the new machine once I have Office 2011 on board ? Do I bother uninstalling it ?
Haven't had to migrate to a new computer in a while, so any suggestions are appreciated. I also have TM and a clone of the G5.
Thanks.

This is exactly what I did. After downloading Office 2011 and opening some of my old Office 2004 files to make sure they were ok, I trashed the Office 2004. Everytime I opened an old file it asked if I wanted to save it the the new Office. I did. It's been three years now and all my old files work perfectly.
Good luck with yours,

How to Sign in Microsoft Office 2011 on iMac?

I installed Microsoft Office 2011 on my new iMac. Before starting to use it, I need to sign in but I could not. My husband bought the CD last year and installed Office to his MacBook Air. Should I use my his Apple ID to sign in?

Installing Office 2011-Says software for installation not available

I've seen this same issue posted, but never found a resolution to the problem. Office 2011 14.3.9 will not install on Mac Air that is running OS X Version 10.8.5. Message says that the software needed for installation is not available on my computer.

What version of Office do you now have? You must have 14.3.8 to install 14.3.9. And 14.3.8 requires 14.3.7, etc.

I have Mac 10.6.8 wih Office for Mac 2004. I tried to install Office 2011 but the computer rejects the disc.Please help.

Mac OSX 10.6.8 2.66 GHz Intel Core Duo; Memory-2GB 1067 MHz DDR3
I have been using Office 2004 for a long time, and about three years ago purchased the then new Office 2011 . I installed it but did not like it and removed it from my computer, Now I would like to install it--the computer rejects the disc. Is there anything I am doing wrong? How canI make it work. Using spotlight, I did not find any traces of the old installation. Thank you!

Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
      left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
      your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
        /usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.
Visit www.mactopia.com where you can download the trial version of Office 2011. Install it then register it using your registration number that you have for the DVD.
It would be a good idea to uninstall Office 2004, but it shouldn't be necessary. You can dump the old Office 2004 folder in your Applications folder.

Transferring Office 2011 from iMac to Macbook Air

My Office 2011 on my iMac is a downloaded upgrade from Office v.X. How do I locate the CD Key to the 2011 upgrade? It's my understanding Microsoft now allows you to use Office 2011 on 2 devices. Thank you!

By moving the Library...
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
