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.

Colin R.

Is mountain lion compatible with snow leopard?

is mountain lion compatible with snow leopard? can you use the same version of iTunes

VMware and Toaster can be upgraded to versions that will run on Mountain Lion.
I was not able to find anything on PalmPilot for Mountain Lion. Of course seeing as how it is at least 15 years old that doesn't surprise me.
As I see you want to run two operating systems which means rebooting to use them just for PalmPilot. IMHO that is a lot of effort on your part for a very small gain.

Keyboard error with '@' when in WindowsXP (using Parallels Desktop for Mac)

When I go to type '@' when in WindowsXP (using Parallels Desktop for Mac) the symbol ' " ' appears; I have to type ' " ' to achieve the ' @ ' symbols. Can anyone help?

Try switching the keyboard layout in XP to other countries. Maybe US from UK.

Parallels Desktop for Mac

I am purchasing a new Mac-Mini and want to run Parallels Desktop for Mac. I previously was using Virual PC for the Mac. Does anyone know whether I can use the windows professional onthe Virual disk to load windows in the Parallel program?

The short answer is technically yes, but not easily (depending on your threshold of "easily") and more headache than it may be worth. Check out the following threads (one from the Parallels support forums, the other from elsewhere in Apple Discussions that offer input and a solution. For the steps in the post in Apple Discussions you do need a copy of Windows running somewhere for this to work.
Thread from Parallels
Thread from Apple Discussions
Also - although doing this is technically possible, I'm not sure you wouldn't be in violation of the Virtual PC EULA in doing so.

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

... unless, like me, you open up an uber-important Excel 2004 file in Excel 2011 and get the following dialog box which leads to a trashed Chart, which I need access to EVERY WEEK:
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.
Kurt Lang wrote:
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?

Is lion compatable with parallels desktop ?

are there any issues with running parallels desktop on lion ?

I am still using version 5, but I had to download a so-called "launcher", as it was advised in some forums (like with many others, Parallels 5 didn't work in the beginning for me under Lion). I believe that's just a bug from the Parallels team, probably there will be an official patch as well within the next few days.
What Lion-specific features offers Parallels 6? Is there full screen support and auto-save like for other Lion apps? Version 5 is fine for me, but would be cool to have it "lionized".

Does OS mountain lion come with Remote desktop?

My 2012 Pro does not have remote desktop anywhere on it. All the other macs I've encountered have had it preloaded. Is mountain lion just the first os to not have it installed?

Remote Desktop is not included with Mountain Lion nor is it preloaded on new Macs. You have to buy it:

Many features that were previously only available on Remote Desktop, screen sharing for instance, are now part of OS X though.
