Is lion compatible with messenger 8 for mac, Is lion compatible with messenger 8 for mac?

I have os x Lion installed, will Messenger 8 for make work ok ?

Yes. The only problem you could face, is if you want to reinstall MS Office 2008 on Lion - this is not possible, because the installer runs on Rosetta, which is no longer supported in Lion. But if you already have Office installed, there should be absolutely no problems.

  • Is Elements 6 for Mac compatible with new Lion operating system?

    I'm planning to buy a new iMac with OS X Lion. Will the Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac program that I am currently using be compatible with the Lion operating system?

    Adobe's official response about any software and any major operating system update is that since the software wasn't tested on the new OS, they don't consider it compatible. Just as they never update the system requirements to show updated versions of the compatible OS. They just don't go there at all. If you called them they would say no, but not based on experience or experiment, merely on policy.
    I don't think there's anything especially complicated--based on what I hear in real life, people who don't have Open in Rosetta turned on when they upgrade to lion are mostly okay, while there's no way to make it go if you did have it set for Rosetta. I would guess a new install would be fine, but I haven't had a chance to try it out myself yet. Scanning and such are likely to have problems, and of course older ppc plug-ins won't work anymore.

  • Is OSX lion compatible with microsoft office for mac 2008

    Can anybody out there please give me a definitive answer to this question: Is OSX Lion compatible with Microsoft Office for Mac 2008? The technical support people of both Apple and Microsoft could not provide me wth a useful answer to a question that must interest hundreds of thousands of people, if not millions. I don't want to download the new OS and then encounter nasty problems.

    Yes. The only problem you could face, is if you want to reinstall MS Office 2008 on Lion - this is not possible, because the installer runs on Rosetta, which is no longer supported in Lion. But if you already have Office installed, there should be absolutely no problems.

  • Is OSX Lion compatible with microsoft 2004 for Mac ?

    Hi,
    I heard that microsoft office 2004 for Mac is not compatible with mOSX Lion ?
    What is the matter ?
    Regards,
    Eric from Passy

    Hi Eric,
    No. It need Rosetta which is software that Apple licensed from IBM 5 years ago. This was when Apple switched from PowerPC chips to Intel. Microsoft have had 5 years to write a fix for this but they have not done so, instead they have updated later releases of Office that will work. Maybe Microsoft want you to buy the new version?
    I think I have read that OpenOffice will work with any Office 2004 documents.
    Regards,

  • Is mountain lion compatible with old (2004) version of microsoft office for MAc?

    I have heard that Mountain Lion is not compatible with old (2004) version of microsoft office for MAc. Is that true?

    Can't say I've ever seen such error messages, and I've opened lots of files created back in OS 8. Also many more much older than that from Windows 95 and even MS-DOS.
    Lucky for you; unlucky for me that an important Excel 2004 Chart gets corrupted when opened in Excel 2011! 
    I suspect the problem is in the conversion routine that Microsoft added to Office 2011 to update Excel 2004 files.  How conversant are you historically with converting Excel 2004 files that contain charts to Excel 2011?  Because your experience with OS 8, Windows 95 and even MS-DOS has no relevance on this issue.

    You will notice, Kurt, that I based my advice to the OP as "if you are unable or unwilling to upgrade to Microsoft Office 2011..."
    Yes, I saw it. But if everyone did what you would expect with your statement, no one would suggest upgrading to Office 2011. Besides, you're the one who stated "unable or unwilling", not the OP.
    Are you always this argumentative, or is this my lucky day?
    Many people suggest upgrading to Office 2011. I do it frequently in my other "workarounds" type of answers to the Rosetta in Lion/Mountain problem.  I chose not to offer that solution here, and as I expected, someone else, namely you, did!
    The problem was that you finished your suggestion with this comment: "Particularly when it isn't really necessary."  Since this statement was not true in my case (it IS necessary for me to continue to use my important Excel 2004 file as well as some other historical files I have; and conceivably could be important to the OP), I posted the correction.
    You also made the suggestion that: "...the cost of VM software isn't that much less than just upgrading to Office 2011." While certainly true in the vacuum of the OP asking specifically about Word 2004; when the OP becomes aware that his complete library of PPC applications will fail in Mountain Lion, your suggestion about the relative cost to upgrade may no longer be as relevant.
    Lastly: Yes, I commonly state to similar OP's that if they are "unable" (because, for example, they may also have conversion problems with Office 2011, Appleworks 6, Freehand or other programs) or "unwilling" (perhaps they just cannot afford to upgrade all of their PPC apps at this time), that here is an alternative that will keep the status quo available to them, and buy them some more time to consider their options while continuing to use Lion/Mountain Lion and their PowerPC apps.
    Is the relevance of my post to the OP's problem (and your reply to my solution) sufficiently clear for you now?

  • Why is my Microsoft Office for Mac programs no longer compatible with 10.7 Lion?

    "Power PC applications no longer supported" the Microsoft Office Pack was Mac versions of Word, Powerpoint, etc. and when I downloaded Lion upgrade to operating system, it gave me message above. What's up wth that? Must I go buy a newer version of Microsoft Office for Mac or rely on Pages, which I like, but for ease of use between home and office, I also like to have Word. Anybody else having same issue?

    Neo Office
    OpenOffice
    Google Docs
    iWork
    Are all excellent alternatives for Office.

  • Time Capsule 1TB Will this unit still be compatible with Lion OSX ,As I have not switched yet until other programs I have installed on my mac are up to speed

    I have had my eye on one of these for quite some time in the past and up until just very recently have puchased a 1TB Time Capsule at rather quite a reasonable price or so I had thought compared to what they had been priced at originally in the past which I had thought to be a bit over the top as is with most of apple's products or should I more say marketing tactic's,
    Anyway I was just wanting to know in general is this unit already so to speak on it's way out or becoming obsolete in comparison to the 2TB's and 3TBs Time Capsules ,
    Not the implicating the obvious being storage in differences but more so the compatibility issue side of things,
    In short will this unit still work with OSX Lion for example, or is it only limited to Leopard and Snowleopard,
    The place I had purchased this unit from are more or less in the dark themselves and although more than helpful are more a musical instrument outlet than a computer store as the decision was my choice alone in which I need not to be convinced,
    Although I have purchased this item I am yet to recieve as this unit was the one of the last in the country and is to be shipped in from out of town,
    But has given me time to think of such in the process during as this unit is no longer advertised amongst it bigger companions,
    I use my mac or mac's mainly for composing music with such software as Pro Tools 8 soon to be 9 and also Live 8 Studio as I don't plan to plan to change over to Lion OSX until these programs are up to speed and speaking the same language,

    Yes, it's compatible with Lion.

  • Can anyone recommend a portable USB 3.0 drive with hardware encryption, compatible with OSX and Windows 7.  I need it for my MacBook Pro 13", 2012, running Mountain Lion

    Can anyone recommend a portable USB 3.0 drive with hardware encryption, compatible with OSX Mountain Lion and Windows 7.  I need it for my MacBook Pro 13”, 2012, running Mountain Lion & Windows 7 Ultimate - BootCamp.  I’ve heard that the Buffalo MiniStation Encryption does not work with OSX, is that true..?  I'd like it to work with both operating systems, using the built in hardware encryption.  Thanks

  • If I buy a mac with mountain lion and then upgrade to mavericks wil I get iWork for free, If I buy a mac with mountain lion and then upgrade to mavericks wil I get iWork for free

    If I buy a mac with mountain lion and then upgrade to mavericks will I get iWork for free.

    If you buy a new Mac with Mountain Lion, any included software is free and can be redownloaded from AppStore for that machine only. Some software only gets reinstalled if OS X (only) gets installed over itself to fix issues. See #8 Step here.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    If you upgrade to Mavericks usually only OS X itself is changed (sometimes the hidden User Library is also), all the  software (and user accounts) also carries over (compatible or not), and Apple's software is upgraded.
    So if your new Mountain Lion Mac comes with free iWork, then when you upgrade to Mavericks it will still be there.
    If your new Mountain Lion does not come with free iWork, then it won't magically appear for free if you upgrade to Mavericks.
    If you need a free Office suit, I suggest you look at the donationware LibreOffice.
    You will likely need to control key or right click to "Open" LibreOffice to approve through OS X's "Gatekeeper".
    You will need to manually update it also, as it's not on AppStore.
    https://www.libreoffice.org/
    Benefit of LibreOffice is it's completely cross-platform compatible, so you can share working files with Windows and Linux users, which you can't with iWork.
    You also should learn Microsoft Office when you have the funds, because it's standardized in the business world.

  • Will Adobe Camera Raw 7.4 or 8.7.1 work with Adobe Photoshop CS 5 version 12.1 x64 bit on a Mac OSX version 10.7.5 Lion.I am having differculty opening Raw RAF files on Camera Fuji X100s.Many thanks for your help out there.

    10.7.5 lion. I am having trouble opening RAF raw files on my newly acquired Fuji X100S camera.Many thanks

    With that version of Photoshop, the most recent version of Camera Raw you can use is 6.7. If updating your Photoshop or subscribing to the creative cloud is not an option then you could use the free DNG converter provided by Adobe. The latest version of the DNG converter is 8.7.1. I am not familiar with Mac operating systems, so I'm not certain if your OS is compatible with the latest version. You can download it and try.

  • Office for Mac issues with Lion

    Since installing Lion, I no longer have access to my Office for Mac Excel, Word, or PowerPoint...is there a simple fix for this?

    Both my wife and I use Excel and Word for work.......would you recommend, then that the upgrade would make sense, as our version is pretty old, anyway?
    If you don't use Outlook then you could use one of the freebies, Open Office or Libre Office are often recommended, but they are not 100% compatible with MS Office, there will be minor formatting changes, and if you use VBA or Excel macros to help in your work you will have to do without them.
    Buy Office 2011 Home & Student for Mac (no Outlook) should be around $100, if you and your wife have individual computers you will need 2 copies.
