Lost microsoft office tools with mountain lion install

I installed Mountain Lion and now my Microsoft Office Tools are gone?

I'm using Entourage just fine, which is good because Apple Mail is almost as bad as Outlook.  However, with Entourage, I had to delete all the preferences files and rebuild the database, as it was very pokey after the upgrade. 
I'm using Office 2011 apps, and those are fine.  Sorry, but I abandoned the rest of the 2008 suite a while back.... but I just tested Word 2008 and it worked OK... although still much slower launching than 2011, which is almost instantaneous.
Make sure you have a full backup, such as with SuperDuper, on a bootable firewire drive before you attempt it.  Better safe than sorry.

  • I bought a macbook pro with Mountain Lion installed.  Can I install a copy of mountain lion on my other mac for free?

    I bought a Macbook pro with Mountain Lion. Can I install Mountain Lion on my other mac for free? How do I do that? Thanks!

    On the bright side, it's only $20.
    And I would certainly like to have the ownership (and even a copy of the installer on my archive drive), "just in case."
    Here are some questions -- which I cannot test because it's not my situation:
    Has anyone acquired a pre-owned Mac with Mountain Lion installed but which shipped with an earlier OS version? For those in that circumstance:
    Have you been able to apply Mountain Lion update(s)?
    How about reinstall ML with Recovery HD?
    After either updating or reinstalling, does ML appear in Purchases in App Store?
    Just curious.

  • I have a 15" MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion installed.  I have partitioned the hard drive into two partitions.  Is it possible to install Snow Leopard on the second partition?  If so how do I do it?

    I have a 15" MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion installed.  I have partitioned the hard drive into two partitions.  Is it possible to install Snow Leopard on the second partition?  If so how do I do it?

    If your MacBook Pro had Snow Leopard on it at one time then sure. (Early 2011 or earlier)
    How to erase and install Snow Leopard 10.6
    Obviously choose the second partition to install into. It has to be OS X Extended journaled formatted in Disk Utility (BootCamp software makes it a MSDOS/FAT32 formatted partition if you used that to partition with)
    If it's a Early 2011 or Late 2011 that came with 10.7, it's possible, but it's not easy.

    If you can't install Snow Leopard, there is a thread over at MacRumors how to run Snow Leopard in a virtual machine program under 10.7 or 10.8

  • Macbook pro 15in 2011 with mountain lion installed- dropped wifi

    I am having a fit with my macbook pro - dropped wifi after sleep-  I did all the things suggested in another apple forum- my airport extreme is current with updates- renewed dhcp etc etc NOW  to be accurate my 2010 mac mini has no issue whatsoever--  this is driving me crazy-  I would have thought Apple would have fixed this by now -with the update 2 or 3 days ago but ha ha it did not-- but I can assure you that it is not a hardware issue as much as a mountain lion/ apple software issue- I have to restart my computer all the time to remain connected- can someone tell someone at apple about this- I sure am seeing a TON of people with the same problem- it is not allowing me to run smoothly-- as I had zero issues before the perfect install of mountian lion --from lion-- which my macbook came with-- I am also running Kaspersky for Mac and it is the 2013 version and today I had to restart change its proxy settings to get it to update and it was fine last week.
    I am wondering if this has anything to do with the apps having to come thru the app store because a  time and moon phase widget I got when running lion from the app store is just blank now. Safari loses the ability to connect and I have to restart then all is well for an undetermined amount of time or an awake from sleep mode and its thank you apple turning my laptop into a  **** on earth- I thought I should put this out there for Apple to see.

    For anybody whomay stumble across this post- it is an addendum to the originalpost
    Just to be sure  it is an APPLE SOFTWARE ISSUE - ProbablySafari---I used my mac mini ( with mountain lion ) and-- it too drops wifi-- and the end  result is
    SAFARI CANNOT CONNECT TO SERVER lol
    the app store hangs and hangs and hangs
    as it does my macbook pro -- they  BOTH have to be restarted-- then it is okay for a little while
    THIS IS SO ANNOYING  ha ha-- in this instance caps does mean I am yelling lol

  • How do I get microsoft office restored on mountain lion?

    I have just upgraded with CD to Snow Leopard and then to Mountain Lion.  But Microsoft Office is no longer supported.  Can I download Office to get to my work?

    You need to upgrade it to Office 2008 or 2011, or use a product such as OpenOffice or iWork.

  • Why can I no longer run Microsoft Office after downloading Mountain Lion?

    I recently made the jump from snow leopard to mountain lion the other day. After the installation of mountain lion was complete I noticed a number of my applications were no longer useable. The most noticeable ones were anything under microsoft office. I have been using the 2004 version of Microsoft Office  on this Mac without a single problem for four years until Mountain Lion was installed. Now when I try to open it a message pops up saying PowerPC applications are no longer supported. I was wondering if others were having the same problem or there was a solution to fix this.
    Thank you

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    PowerPC applications aren't supported in Mountain Lion. What does it mean? You have to update all your programs to an Intel edition. You can use Office 2008 or 2011, try iWork in the App Store or use LibreOffice

  • Getting Outlook (for Mac 2011) contacts to iPhone 4S with Mountain Lion installed

    I installed Mountain Lion only to find out I can no longer get contacts to my iPhone. ML doesn't support Sync Services so I can't go through Mac's Address Book. I can't get Outlook contacts directly to iCloud. For some reason I can't even do it through iTunes either (with all iCloud disabled). Now I have a phone with NO contacts on it!

    Install the latest Service Pack for Outlook.  Then go into Outlook under Tools and Sync Services and put in a checkmark for Contacts.  This will sync your contacts from Outlook into the Address Book.  Once that happens, iTunes (latest version) can sync that info over to your phone if you pick sync contacts in iTunes.
    This is how I did it.  I can sync everything except Notes this way.  Apple ***** a little bit in this regard.

  • Message app disappeared with Mountain Lion install attempt

    I attempted to install Mountain Lion on my "early 2008" MacBook ... did not install, but somehow the iCloud Message app disappeared ... any ideas?

    Sometimes restarting the router/modem can help with downloads.
    However, if the connection is slow or flaky, it is difficult to get a clean download with a file that large.

  • I lost all calendar events with mountain lion -- help!

    I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and all looked fine until I opened Calendar -- no events!

    Jim,
    I presume all of the calendars have a ✓ mark in the appropriate box?
    Try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To find that Library folder, use Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart.
    Then go to your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder and remove any files with "Cache" as a part of the file name. Use the same method as listed above to get to the correct Library Folder. Log out/in, or restart and check iCal for functionality.

  • How to re download Lion with Mountain lion installed?

    Hello,
    I am currently using Mountain lion as a main operation system but I want to download Lion.
    I have another imac to upgrade to lion.
    However since my computer is running uner Mountain lion, app store won't allow me to download Lion.
    I want to download the software since I purchased it.
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    You will need to download it on that other computer. You can try re-downloading from the App Store on the Purchases page. If you don't see the purchase listed it may be hidden:

  • IMac with Mountain Lion installed

    Since loading mountain lion if I leave my machine to go into sleep mode itself it will not turn on properly,ie the screen becomes bright but nothing else,it will not respond to the trackpad. To fix I have to turn the power of the the machine and restart. If I put it into sleep mode myself, everything works fine. Has anybody else seen this and is there a fix

    Do the following:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
