Lion doesn't support MSOffice for Mac or Quicken........ Help

I loaded lion prematurely, without properly researching for my needs.  Now my MSOffice for Mac and quicken software are inoperable.  How do I unload lion?  Are their any other solutions?

Lion supports Office after 2004 but anything from 2004 and before is unsupported due to it being a power PC applicaiton.
Quicken is all sorts of messed up and they have a popular FAQ page found here (http://quicken.intuit.com/support/help/install--register--and-convert/quicken-fo r-mac-compatibility-with-mac-osx-10-7-lion/GEN83208.html)
If you want to un-install Lion then you'll need to backup your HD, boot to the Snow Leopard disk, erase the partition, reinstall the OS and then re-import from Time Machine. Using Migration Assistant to re-import from Time Machine is your best bet.
Good luck

  • I used Firefox to download a digital certificate. I later learned that the provider doesn't support Firefox for Mac, and I can't find the certificate. Can you help?

    I'm using FireFox 3.6.20.

    Did that certificate get installed or did you download and saved the certificate?

  • Can I use the MsOffice for Mac license in the IPad ?, Can I use the MsOffice for Mac license in the IPad ?

    My name is Rafael Matheus from Brazil.

    Thanks.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can only use the license in other Macs because Microsoft hasn't released Office for iPad yet. That's because iPads and Macs use different operating systems and different apps, so you can't run Mac applications in a iPad

  • 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.

    After installing OS X Mavericks, my MSOffice for Mac WORD docs are defaulting to Pages.  Also have problem with pdf docs. Anyone have a solution to keep MS WORD as the default or docs saved as WORD docs? Solutions for the pdf problems?

    I think you are right.  It appears to be solved, but new issues have popped up constantly since I upgraded, so I'll see what tmr brings.  Thanks for your help. Now I'll work on solving the issues with pdfs.

    You must be using an update CD.  You need the software that has the full version first - install that, then you can use the update one if needed. I know, cuz I made the same mistake - lol

  • Download windows support software for mac book air running Mac oS Lion.. too slow in bootcamp

    Hi guys,
    Do you know a site which I could download the windows support software for my mac book air running MAC OSX Lion. Using bootcamp takes a very long time and seems to be stuck. Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Whart exactly are you having problems with?
    Installing Boot Camp, manually updating the B.C. Drivers, Apple software update updating the drivers, or Windows Software updates?
    You will or have a full Windows install. _ALL_ Microsoft Windows software is through Microsoft or 3rd partys. Apple just supplies the drivers for their hardware to be run in Windows.
    If you want to manually install the Boot Camp drivers then try here?:
    http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Underneath the hardrive picture is a link for _Downloads_, it shows up as an error in my browser but when i put in "Boot Camp" in the "Search Downloads" bar I got a large list.
    Hope that helps.....

  • Mountain lion doesn't support Airport extreme. What am I to do?

    When I installed Mountain Lion I lost Airport extreme. Looks like this OSx 10.8 doesn't support it. Is there any way to fix it?

    AirPort Utility 5.6 for Mac OS X Lion

  • Lion doesn't support my airport

    When I try to update my airport I get the message, software doesn't support my airport anymore. Is it time feed the Apple machine again?

    Which AirPort do you have?  Check the bottom of the device...if you have an AirPort Extreme....or on the side if you have an AirPort Express.
    The model number starts with an "A" followed by four numbers.
    If you see A1033 for the AirPort Extreme or A1084 or A1088 for the AirPort Express, AirPort Utility in Lion does not support these older versions of the AirPorts.
    If you have another Mac running the Leopard or Snow Leopard operating system, or a PC, then you can administer the older AirPort that way.

    As far as i know the wl (proprietary broadcom driver) doesn't support monitor/injection.
    But the Mac80211 alternatives might. If they support the wifi chip in your MacBook.
    From experience with a friends MBP it didn't yet support his broadcom so had to use WL to get basic network connectivity and used an Dual-band(2.4Ghz/5Ghz) 2x2 11n/ac USB dongle for his monitor/injection needs.

  • 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,
    Colin R.

  • Lion doesn't support PowerPC applications?

    My purchased Microsoft Office 2004 applications don't work with OS X Lion anymore. When I start one of the application up I get the message "You can't open the application Microsoft ..... because PowerPC applications are no longer supported". Any other user who suffer from the same problem?

    rob,
    before the fanboys chime in to tell you that you should have known that upfront because it was discussed in certain channels: no, rosetta is not implemented in lion anymore, powerpc support is dropped. all you can do is go back to snow leopard.
    You can also upgrade your software to make it work with Lion

  • Cannot type in Word 2011 for mac?? Help!

    Hi
    I recently bought an iMac PC and installed windows for mac.  when I open up word everything seems ok until i try typing and nothing happens??  At first I thought it had something to do with trying to edit a document from an old PC, but when trying to type in a new document same thing happens......nothing?  I have tried googling and can't seem to find a solution.  Any suggestions would be appreciated as at the moment I'm starting to regret buying this thing!
    Many thanks

    Since your issue is with Word, which is a Microsoft product, I suggest you post your question on an MS Office forum since it's their software you're having problems with.  This issue has nothing to do with your Mac.

    PS
    There is no such thing as "Windows For Mac".  You bought the same Windows that runs on any other PC.
