Microsoft office 2007 downloaded to new MacBook air
Microsoft office 2007 downloaded to new MacBook air, when I click on the downloaded file it just says format not supported. I have this program on my MacBook Pro and it works fine. Thoughts?
Only, the 2008 and 2011 versions of Office for Mac will run on your MacBook Air.
There is no MS Office 2007 for Mac, only Windows.
Try this link
You will need a valid product key, once the trial expires.

I received an email containing a spreadsheet created using Mac Office 2004 on my new MacBook Air equipped with Mac Office 2011. When I saved the document, my Finder lists the document without the .xls file extension. Why?
All other .xls documents created by Mac Office 2004 retained the .xls file extention when I migrated them over to the new MacBook Air.I know what happened. When I saved the document I somehow hit the Hide File Extension box. Sorry to trouble this group. I simply resaved it w/o activating the Hide File Extension feature.

Does Microsoft Office 2008 work on a Macbook air that I bought January 2013?
I have an old mac and wanted to transfer microsoft office across to my new one but i've read that version 2008 might not work.
I don't want to use migration assistant if it isn't going to work as it's pointless.
I bought my macbook air this January (2013).Migration Assistant will create a new user with the files transferred from an older computer. As you only want to transfer applications, if you select only applications to be transferred, no user will be created. However, if you can, I think that the best way is to install Office from the DVD, buying an external optical drive for your Mac or using Remote Disc > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5287

ITunes library damaged itl, preventing iTunes download to new MacBook Air
I have a new MacBook Air. It's great. PC to MAC upgrade by my company IT organsiation very smooth,
I am trying to put iTUNES onto it. I already have iPAD2, iPhone3, and iPOD Touch running it fine.
It appears a previous problem on my PC has found its was to me MAC. A number of 'iTunes Library (Damaged) itl.' files sit within my iTUNES. Consequently, when I try to put iTUNES on my Mac, it refers to the damaged itl files, and suggests a software upgrade.
I have since updated all software on the MAc, btu still have the problem.
Has anyone had this problem and can help?
ThanksHave the exact same problem.
When I started itunes it suddenly started importing library and then complained that the library was damaged and saved a copy to (iTunes Library (Damaged).itl). ALL my playlists and automated playlists are GONE!!!!
I want straight answers from Apple now, how do I fix this problem that you have direct responsibility for due to poor programming????
And why did this problem appear out of nowhere for no apparent reason??????
I have spent YEARS on my library sorting into playlists and so on. -
Hi I have a macbook air which obviously doesnt come with a disc drive, but have a disc for microsoft office i want to put on...is there a way of downloading it and using the same product key to validate? or can I do it via disc sharing from my old PC? thanks
Download the trial from the Microsoft site, then activate with the code that came with your box set.
And yes, you can use Remote Disc to make use of the DVD unit on your PC. -
How can I transfer older Microsoft Office docs to my new macbook pro?
Hi... I had an older macbook pro OS X (10.5.8). The mother board went on it but I was able to transfer all of my files to a passport hard drive. My new, 2013, macbook pro does not accept Microsoft Office apps. Any thoughts... ?
Thanks, RussellYour new MacBook Pro supports Microsoft Office. The problem is that it only supports Office 2008 and 2011, because Office 2004 and older are PowerPC apps.
Now, if you really need to work with Office documents and you need the highest number of features possible, go for Office 2011 > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
However, if you have basic needs, I recommend you to install LibreOffice. It's free and open-source, and it works with Office files without any problem -
I have, on order, a 13" MacBook Air (128Gb) and intend using Migration Assistant to transfer data from my 4 year old MacBook 13" (White) on set up.
I have ordered an Apple USB Ethernet adaptor and have today purchased an Ethernet cable.
I will want to transfer;
Mail........Mailboxes, their contents and account settings. In fact the lot except the application itself.
Safari..... Bookmarks, Cookies, Saved Passwords etc. As above
Google Chrome.........same
Address Book
iCal
iTunes
iPhoto
Documents. Excel, Word, Powerpoint & pdf's (a clean install of Office for Mac 2011 will take place on the MBA)
MacBook and applications are currently up to date and I've read about disabling the energy saver to sleep option.
Is it all that simple or am I missing something?
Can Account Information in Mail be migrated?
Will saved links be transferred in Safari (especially that of my ISP's customer area)? You have no idea what navigating around Orange France is like !
Sorry if I sound a little naïve but I'm English, retired and living in France and the nearest Apple Store is a 3 hour drive away so I'm doing it all myself.
Thanks
RichardUse Setup Assistant when your new Mac first starts up. See Using Setup Assistant on Lion (it's a bit more complete).
Unless you choose to omit things, that will set your new Mac up exactly like the old one, except for a few preferences, etc., that may be different for the different hardware.
If your old Mac isn't running Lion, there will be some other differences, too. See Changes in Lion from Snow Leopard. -
Microsoft office 2011 not working on macbook air?
Hi,
I have just installed microsoft office 2011 on my macbook air, it appeared to be installed correctly but I can not open Word, Powerpoint etc. Upon trying to open the programs an error message saying I should rebuild the Database utility appears, once I click out of that it just freezes and I can do nothing, not even close it.
I'm not overly tech savvy, so any help would be really appreciated.
ThanksUninstall Office (do it correctly, per Microsofts instructions) and then reinstall it.
Here are Microsoft's instructions -

Vicky: The initial question is why do you want to uninstall Microsoft Office 2004?
If your answer is that you are upgrading to Office 2011, my recollection is that the installation process of Office 2011 will do all of the proper "uninstalling" that is necessary as it installs all of the necessary new files.
If your answer is that you do not intend to ever use Office again, including any of the data files that were created from it: then at this point, I would suggest that you just leave it alone. Manually uninstalling raises more risks than it cures.
Even if you do upgrade to Office 2011, if you have continuous need to have access to your Office 2004 data files, you may find that Office 2011 does not properly translate some of your old files correctly. I have this problem with an Excel 2004 chart that I access on a weekly basis and it gets trashed by Office 2011.
I have solved this problem by installing Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7 in Lion (and reinstalling Office 2004 inside the Snow Leopard environment):
[click on image to enlarge]
In this way I can access my Excel 2004 chart, modify it as needed and save the changes.

How do i completely uninstall microsoft office 2011 from my new macbook pro ?
I've just recently purchased 2011 for my new 15" Macbook pro but was wandering how to uninstall it as I hardly use it and if I do use word processing/spreadsheet/presentation software I'd much rather use iWork and have office 11 on the disk
Please note that if Office is being removed to fix a problem prior to re-installing a new copy AppCleaner will not do what is needed, it is important to follow Microsoft's directions exactly, AppCleaner does not.
Carolyn Samit's link is the correct method. -
Slooowww download speeds with new MacBook Air.
I recently replaced my old MacBook from 2007 with a new MacBook Air. Since I've gotten it I've had a series of frustruations. I hadn't even thought to check if it had an ethernet port or a cd drive. Because it has nither I've had to download versions of things I'd generally install via CD. My download speeds seem to be incredibly slow on this new MacBook Air, it took hours to download firefox. I feel like my older MacBook was much faster, I don't understand. I recently did a speed test (I have Comcast) for the MacBook Air and it came up with a 1mbps download speed. Is this an issue with the computer or with my modem (docis 3.0, cable) or router (standard belkin) or with Comcast? I'm pretty frustrutaed.
Other questions:
I'd love to plug this directly into our cable modem, but I see that I need an adapter.
I'd also love to connect this to my iMac via thunderbolt cable and use use target disc mode to install some stuff.
I'd like to buy a plain thunderbolt cable to have for use with more modern computers, and adapters for use with this older/other stuff. Is there an adapter that lets me attach the thunderbolt cable to an ethernet wire so I can plug directly into the modem? Also, my imac has a firewire 800 port, not a thunderbolt port, so is there a thunderbolt to firewire 800 cable?
What would be the cheapest way of getting these cables and adapters, (links would be very appreciated!)?
Thanks!Yes. Take it back for a replacement. Take the computer with you so you can test the new one.

Microsoft office 2008 on new macbook air
I am trying to install my old microsoft office 2008: home and student on my new macbook air with os x mavericks. Microsofts home page is telling me that this is an unsupported product. Can i still install it or do i actually have to buy a new office-package? I can't afford this and would like to use one of the two remaining users on my old office-package, since i hav only used one. Can someone help me with this?
Good question, all I can find online are updates, not full versions. Assuming that it is no longer available for download (it is 6 years old now) you will have to buy an external drive and use it to install from your discs.
Edit:
Found a download on CNET, download it, then very carefully install it, CNET has a bad habit of 'adding' things to downloads so read what the installer dialog boxes say.
The download is here
Here is a better source to download from, Microsoft Office 2008. version 12.3.3 -
How can I download Micosoft Office 2008 for Mac on my new Macbook Air? I have the DVD and product key
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have two options:
1. If you have another Mac or PC, use Remote Disc to install it on your Mac > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5287
2. Buy an external optical drive and use it to install Microsoft Office.
Both options work correctly. If you are going to use the optical drive once, use Remote Disc, but it will be much slower than using an optical drive connected to the computer -
Just purchased a new Mac and need Word, etc. etc. I was wondering how to/if I could install the Microsoft Office 2007 disc on my Mac.
The only real reason you might need to install Office 2007 on your Mac is if you need Microsoft Access, and don't want to go through Filemaker Pro for Windows to migrate Access to Filemaker Pro. Once in Filemaker Pro format, it can be put on Filemaker Pro for the Mac. Numerous applications for download and online offer free to nearly free access to Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint documents, including LibreOffice, OpenOffice, Neo Office, Google Docs, and Zoho Docs. This would be much cheaper than installing a database on your Mac and PC, if Access is not part of the equation.

How do I get Microsoft Office unto my new MacBook Air?
I recently purchased a new MacBook Air to be able to complete my online courses, and soon after I noticed that I don't have Microsoft Office pre-installed. Is that standard that Mac computers don't have Microsoft Office already installed? How can I get MS without having to pay an exuberant amount for a new license?
yes it is normal, mac computers don't come with MS office on them
unfortunately the only (legal) way of acquiring microsoft office is to buy a license - as a student you might be entitled to discounts depending on your country (in the UK we have http://www.software4students.co.uk)
there are alternatives - Pages/Numbers/Keynote are the Apple equivalent of Word, ExCel and PowerPoint respectively. office documents can be opened using these apps too. i hear complaints from people who need certain features only available in MS office but for the average user the Apple versions are brilliant
then there's the free openoffice, etc, if you were looking for something along those lines
