MAC OS X updater and Office Update?

Hello everyone
I have MAC OS X TIGER and am about to install MS Office. I know that the MSN Messenger 4.0 is included and will work together with the Office Apps. But I also know that there is already version 5.1.1 available online. My question is: Will MAC OS X handle an update if I install 4.0 with the whole package or would I have to skip Messenger and download the new one afterwards? I am asking this because I think the Messenger will work better with Word etc. if it is installed right with these apps and updated later. But I am not sure wether and how these updates work and wether MAC OS X handles them or Office itself.
Thank you for your response!

Hi Jerome
Microsoft Office Updater will handle the updates. Not Mac OSX. If it doesn't handle Messenger, you can still check for updates in Messenger manually. I don't think it would matter if you skipped on the initial download and just download the new version.
Tiger comes with iChat. I don't use Messenger, so I don't know if there are any advantages to having it over iChat. I don't really use iChat that much either, but I am able to converse with people using Messenger the same with no problems. You may want to explore that first.

  • Using ARD to verify DST Update and Office Update

    I am trying to use ARD to verify which users have installed the Daylight Saving Time Update 1.0 on our network. Is there a way to verify this with a report? I know that I can send out Install Packages, but I just didn't want to do that for potentially only a few individuals. Plus I am not sure what type of disruption it would cause to everybody.
    We do use exchange accounts so I understand we have to get the 11.3.3 Office 2004 update as well. I can verify this through Report, Software Version..., then select Entourage.
    I am fairly new at ARD so any suggestions/help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    We do use exchange accounts so I understand we have
    to get the 11.3.3 Office 2004 update as well. I can
    verify this through Report, Software Version...,
    then select Entourage.
    I know this is already marked as solved, but I thought I'd share anyway.
    We noticed a few updates ago that not every application was effected by every update. After the 11.3.3 update, PowerPoint still lists version 11.3.2 in the Get Info window. Because of this, I've just started using this command:
    ls -l /Applications/"Microsoft Office 2004"/"Updater Logs"/
    The results for me are:
    -rwxrwxrwx 1 admin staff 121208 Jun 23 2006 11.2.4 Update Log.txt
    -rwxrwxrwx 1 admin staff 120324 Jul 31 2006 11.2.5 Update Log.txt
    -rwxrwxrwx 1 admin staff 120498 Nov 9 14:56 11.3.0 Update Log.txt
    -rwxrwxrwx 1 admin staff 120494 Jan 15 23:11 11.3.3 Update Log.txt
    It's kind of a pain to go through the results (and I might just be a little paranoid) but it's helped.
    I just wish they'd release these updates as packages instead of applications, but that's something else entirely.

    I ignored this for sometime but today I lost my patience and decided to fix this nagging problem. The update prevented me from using the shutdown option as then it would download the updates and then fail over and over again.
    None of the steps helped however they set me on a path. I uninstalled all unwanted programs but that was not what fixed the issue. I noticed other than Office 2007 I also had installed Word viewer 2007 , Excel viewer, Powerpoint viewer. I uninstalled these
    voila!! Windows update said I don't need these updates on which the install was failing, I checked for updates again and the above updates never appeared in the list of updates found.
    I thought I will put this out there just incase someone else runs into similar situation as me. Good Luck.

  • Unable to run bapis for project status update and date update together

    Hi Experts,
    I have a requirement to update the dates and status of a project WBS at level 4. I am trying to do update the CJ02 Transaction using standard BAPI available. I need to do both Date update and status update in the same LOOP PASS   i am using the below mention bapi. when i am doing so i am getting an error Project 'A._____' has been currently processed by ID i.e. my id.
    I have tried putting  a wait for 2 seconds in the code but its still not working. please find the order below in which i am calling the bapi.
    Loop at itab.
    if  date_changed = 'X'.
          CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN'
          READ TABLE it_error WITH KEY message_type = c_e.
          IF sy-subrc <> 0.
    Commit
            CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT'
                 EXPORTING
                      wait   = c_x
                 IMPORTING
                      return = s_ret.
       endif.
    endif.
    if Status_change = 'X'.
          CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_PS_INITIALIZATION' .
          CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_BUS2054_SET_STATUS'

                      return = s_ret.
         ENDIF.
    endif.
        WAIT UP TO 4 SECONDS.
    endloop.

    Try to use
    SET UPDATE TASK LOCAL.
    before each BAPI call.
    Did you try to debug through your code, leaving sufficient time between BAPI calls? If it does work like that, then the above statement might help.

    How can I get my iPhone 4 to update my updates from my app store of it keeps telling me error 3150 or it tell me to refresh the page after updates and the updates are still there asking me to update them again?

    Make sure iTunes on the computer is logged into the account on the phone.
    Plug the iPhone in.
    In the popup window warning about wiping your phone, hit cancel.
    In the left pane of iTunes, the phone icon should be there.
    Right click on it, select transfer purchases.
    Note: this will only transfer music bought from iTunes. Not mp3's from amazon or ripped from CD's.

  • Service Packs, Security Updates and Cumulative Updates

    I would like to find a  document that would help me understand and clarify Service Packs, Security Updates and Cumulative Updates versions and relationships.
    Things like. Cumulative Updates include old Security Updates. Cumulative Updates do not overwrite applied Security Updates, etc.
    For instance,
    I am upgrading a server from: 10.0.5512 (SQL 2008 SP3, After Security Update MS12-70)  To: 10.0.5861 (SQL 2008 SP3 CU17).
    Would the MS12-70 (2754849) I installed still be present after installing CU17? The reason for doubt was that I saw another version of MS12-70 that includes
    CU 1 to 7(KB2716435). So makes me wonder about it.
    I am probably not able to explain myself right but, the idea is to find a document that can explain how the build information and versioning works. 
    Some how I have the idea that Cumulative updates would not include Security Updates.
    Thanks beforehand

    Hi,
    Below will give you list of Service packs and Cumulative updates for SQL Server
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321185
    http://sqlserverbuilds.blogspot.co.uk/
    Security updates are for Windows not SQL Server. SQL server releases Cumulative updates after that a comprehensive service pack is released which includes all fixes that were done in Cumulative updates.
    Cumulative updates fix only a certain type of problem(for which they are created) and should only be applied if facing issue
    Service packs are more through and Inclusive and should be applied and contains many fixes and sometimes introduces few features as well. SP are more thoroughly tested as compared to CU For Cumulative
    update from Microsoft:
    We recommend that you test hotfixes before you deploy them in a production environment.
    This cumulative package is intended to correct only the problems that are described in this article. Apply it only to systems that are experiencing these specific problems.
    This cumulative update contains all the hotfixes and all the updates that were included with the previous SQL Server 2014 update release.
    Windows patch has hardly any relation to SQL server SP and CU.

  • Direct update and flexible update

    Hi BWers,
    I want to know the difference between direct update and flexible update in detail. Could someone explain me in detail with an example? or send me some documents explaining this clearly?
    Regards,
    RV.

    hi
    Using the fleixble update method for master data loads you need to create update rules for the
    InfoSource and the InfoObject. The direct update loads the data directly without going through the
    update rule layer.
    The presence of Update Rules allows for extra processing and data transformation capability. Also the
    flexible update makes it possible to load data from several sources to the InfoObject, since all
    you need to do it to create update rules between the InfoSource and your InfoObject. An example
    of using this is when you need to populate certian master data attributes but the data is
    coming as transaction data. Sometimes the descriptions are also a part of transaction data,
    whereas you may want to load them as text rather than in the cube (this happens a lot in CRM datasources).
    So here flexible updates are useful.

  • Differnce b/w flexible update and direct update

    Hi gurs,
    please tell me the difference between flexible update and direct update.
    Rakesh

    Hi Rakesh,
       Normally  when we upload the master data we can select DIRECT UPDATE .. or Flexible update... ..
      if you select Direct Update means.. there is no need to create  Update rules..
    but this is only  possible for master data..
       if you select  Flexible update means..  we  need to cretae Update Rules also..,  this is mainly for transactional data..
    Direct update is generally used for Master data infoobject & here no update rules are used, that means data from source system passes though transfer structure, rules, & communication structure directly to Data target i.e. InfoObject.
    Flexible Update - generally used for transaction data ( nowadays can be used for few master data as well) has another set of rule after communication structure i.e. update rule before moving data to data target.

  • Difference between the synchrous update and asynchrous update

    Hi all,
    Can anybody explain the me the difference between the synchrous update and asynchrous update with some example.
    Thanks in advance
    Ramya

    Hi,
      Message: A Asynchronous updating. In this mode, the called transaction does not wait for any updates it produces to be completed. It simply passes the updates to the SAP update service. Asynchronous processing therefore usually results in faster execution of your data transfer program.
    Asynchronous processing is NOT recommended for processing any larger amount of data. This is because the called transaction receives no completion message from the update module in asynchronous updating. The calling data transfer program, in turn, cannot determine whether a called transaction ended with a successful update of the database or not.
    If you use asynchronous updating, then you will need to use the update management facility (Transaction SM12) to check whether updates have been terminated abnormally during session processing. Error analysis and recovery is less convenient than with synchronous updating.
    S Synchronous updating. In this mode, the called transaction waits for any updates that it produces to be completed. Execution is slower than with asynchronous updating because called transactions wait for updating to be completed. However, the called transaction is able to return any update error message that occurs to your program. It is much easier for you to analyze and recover from errors.
    L Local updating. If you update data locally, the update of the database will not be processed in a separate process, but in the process of the calling program. (See the ABAP keyword documentation on SET UPDATE TASK LOCAL for more information.)
