Is there a version of Microsoft Access for the Mac computer

I was wondering if there was a version of Microsoft Access for the Mac computer.  Most of the databases I have on my old computer are in Access and I need to be able to open them on my new Mac Book. 

Full Disclosure as per Apple Support Communities terms and Conditions: I am affiliated with the site linked to in this response.
Although Access for Mac isn't available, there are some apps which allow you to open Access databases on Mac. They don't allow you to access forms, reports and VBA modules but they do allow you to visualize the data. Although this isn't perfect, they're far easier and cheaper than having to install Windows on your Mac and then install Access if you only need to view Access databases.
Which one you use really depends on what you need to do. They can be summarized as:
MDDB ACB Viewer - Probably the best of the lot as it open both old and new Access files and exports to Apple Numbers
MDB Tool - Very simple to use but not for Access 2010+
MDB Explorer - Exports to SQLLite but requires an upgrade for Access 2007+ files
ACCDB MDB Explorer - Very limited editing of databases but supports multiple ACCDB databases
MDB Lite - Only works with Access 2003 files but very easy to use
Hope this helps as a basic overview of the main tools available but if you you can find a more in-depth look at Access for Mac software here.

  • Is there Full Version MSI installer package for the last version of Adobe Reader?

    Is there Full Version MSI installer package for the last version of Adobe Reader?
    Where can we find it?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    The full MSI installer for the latest 9.5.0 release is available at:
    ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.5.0/en_US/AdbeRdr950_en_US.msi
    However, there is no full MSI installer available for the latest 10.1.2 release, since it wasn't a single dot release. The Reader 10.1.2 installer is available as a MSP file which can be applied onto the Reader 10.1.0 or Reader 10.1.1 installation.
    You could also create an AIP for the latest 10.1.2 release, which would give you a single MSI installer along with the extracted files. Please have a look at the below mentioned document for more details on the same:

  • Microsoft Office for the mac no longer is supported because it is a PPC App? Recourse?

    What on earth is this power delegated to themselves to take away without fair notice that even applications bought through the apple store such as Microsoft Office for the mac, can no longer be supported because it is a PowerPC application.  Since this was purchased through Apple, do they not offer an alternative?
    I must call Rosetta Stone now also, huh?  All this money wasted just because Apple has made the decision to f everyone?

    Microsoft Office is not an Apple product. It is not up to Apple to support it regardless of where you purchased it.
    Unless you want to learn a new language, don't purchase Rosetta Stone. Rosetta Stone is language training software. Rosetta is the codename of the technology that allowed PowerPC code to run on an Intel-based Mac.
    Rosetta was based on code now owned by IBM. Since Apple does not own it, it can't just arbitrarily make it available to you to run the software that has been updated not once, but twice since the PowerPC platform was abandoned.
    You might try asking IBM to write you some software to run your old programs, or you can update them to something newer. If that cost is too expensive, you might consider one of the alternative Office-type suites such as Open Office, Libre Office, or NeoOffice.
    iWork is also an alternative, but it is not free. The three individual parts, word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation software, each cost $20 on the Mac App Store.

  • Where is the user guide for the Mac computer?

  • Is there a version of Battery Maximizer for the R40 running Vista 32-bit?

    I have an old R40 / 2896-GZU
    I recently upgraded to Vista and found the power management driver V1.67.xx.xx which I installed,
    but it seems to just be a low-level driver.
    I'd like to attempt to condition the battery as was possible with the "Battery Maximizer" software under XP,
    but can not find a version of BM that works on the R40 for the Vista OS. Will the XP version run or is there another option?
    ThinkVantage System update V3.16 does not appear to function with the combination of the R40 + Vista as it comes back with no updates at all  
    Thanks,
    Jim
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You're looking at two somewhat different sets of problems here:
    a) R40 was never shipped with Vista so any drivers that might come up on the web are likely hacked ones, with no guarantee on how well they'll work.
    b) The GPU is not supported by Vista or any of the newer MS operating systems, which adversely affects the entire power setting and is guaranteed to be at least a part of your problem.
    Personally, I'd throw Linux on it and call it a day but that's me.
    Good luck.

  • Will there be an iTunes U app for the mac?

    I am considering ditching my Ipad for a MacBook Air with the extended battery life.  With Mavericks coming, most everything I can do on the Ipad, I will be able to do on the Mac...with the exception of handwriting (which I can do without) and Itunes U.  Itunes U is great and I would like the functionality of the app on my Mac.  Will that ever be coming?

    Hi cdgrammer!
    I have an article here that may help answer your question:
    iTunes U: Frequently asked questions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5100
    Specifically, this is the section I considered relevant:
    Can I download from the iTunes U catalog using my computer?
    Yes, you can browse and download from the iTunes U catalog on your computer, but some content may only be available using the iTunes U app.
    This content can be found in the iTunes Store, which is accessed through iTunes on your computer. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

  • I just purchase my first macbook air and i don't know how to download my microsoft office 2010 that i have already purchased for my old computer. Do i need to purchase again for the microsoft office for the mac?

    I have a windows computer before i purchased my mac and i had already spend $500 for microsoft office professional 2010, i would ike to know if i can download the same one to my macbook air and how to do it. please need help!

    The problem is that your Office 2010 package is a Windows application, and Windows softare doesn't run natively under MacOS. As a result, you can't simply download it or install it on your MacBook Air.
    You can set up your MacBook Air to run Windows as well as MacOS, using either Boot Camp (where you pick whether to run Windows or MacOS each time the system starts, but you can't run both at the same time) or using a 'virtual' Windows installation (where you use software such as VMware to create a virtual Windows machine which you run as a window inside MacOS), but in either case you'll need a licence for Windows, plus the virtualisation software if you want to go that route. In other words, it's not simple, though in either case your Office software would be usable.
    Some software houses are prepared to cross-licence software in this sort of instance - they'll allow a copy for one platform to lapse and charge a relatively low amount for new copy, on the basis that the user has already paid full price, but Microsoft generally don't seem generally cooperative in that instance.

    Hi Parker,
    Some friendly advice.. if you're just after points, or if you actually ask for them, perhaps you're looking at the purpose of these boards incorrectly. The boards are here to help fellow users of Apple products. The points are a nice reward, but they are optional. Mellow out and accept that you won't get points for every answer.
    In this specific case, your first response was quite accurate and helpful, but the rest, in my opinion, were incorrect and based on insufficient knowledge of the subject. Additionally, in speculating about future Apple hardware releases, you may have actually breached the terms and conditions of use for these boards.
    Just something to keep an eye on.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard for the Mac?

    Okay, I apologize for what may appear to be a frightfully stupid question, but is there an Acrobat 9 Standard for the Macintosh? There appears to be support files and such for Adobe 9 Pro for the Mac available, but whenever I search for the Adobe 9 Standard, all I can seem to come up with is the Windows version...?
    If not, and if for some unknown reason, they aren't updating the two version numbers in sync with each other, what's the most recent version of Acrobat Standard for the Mac? Or will I be stuck with 9 Pro as my only option, and end up having to pay for the additional features I don't need?

    Honestly, if you are creating a PDF, say in a Business setting, to go on a website. Except when it specifically meant to go to a Printer. Do you need the Print Press Stuff??
    More bang for the Buck would create a Version For Print press industry.
    Then Have then the pro version have the PDF forms Creation stuff that available in PC only now.
    The feature set that was in Acrobat 5 is a much better fit. If someone need Print Press features sell it as a $50.00-100.00 add-on.
    There are some features related to Print press I never have used. But I got them because I needed forms creation for the Web.

  • ADOBE ELEMENTS 4 BOOK for the Mac???

    My new MacBook Pro came with Elements 4, but I cannot find a book anywhere written for the new version. Even Scott Kelby is not planning to do a version 4 for Mac, saying that I should be able to use most of his Windows book.
    Does anyone know of a version 4 Elements book for the Mac?
    Thanks.

    It is a program you pay for...I do not know of any trial software but you could check.
    They do have a windows tryout.

    Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then  "About This Mac".  Write down what it says about "version"and report that here.  Now continue to "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    If you have a PPC Mac you cannot sync your idevice without a newer computer.  See the end of this post for options.
    If it says you have an Intel Mac you can upgrade to Snow Leopard, but check system requirements first:
    Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    You can buy Snow Leopard at:
    Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    After installing run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.
    Jan. 2014 post by Kappy on doing all this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24599931
    Options if you cannot upgrade:  iTunes Store purchases can already be downloaded directly. Use iTunes Match to put non-Store music in iCloud, then download to your device from there.  Backup your device directly to  iCloud over a wireless connection.  Photos can be downloaded from the Camera Roll using iPhoto or Image Capture.

  • Is there a difference between microsoft office for mac and for windows?

    As a college student it's important that everything is equal for windows and mac for using instructions. So i am wondering if theres a difference between microsoft office for mac and for windows?

    There are differences between the two version of Office. If you need to be exactly like the Windows version, you will have to run Windows on your Mac.
