Microsoft Office 2008 will not open on mac?

Okay, so whenever I try to open ANY office applications, my mac (version 10.6.8) brings up a screen title MICROSOFT _____ cannot be opened because of a problem. I cannot uninstall it, because the uninstaller does not open either. The Microsoft Office 2008 folder is in my Applications folder.

Well, how about delete the entire Microsoft 2008 folder and get it back from the "Time Mchine" backup if you got one. Did you ever back-up your system?
It doesn't have to be a recent backyp, any backup from TM or CarbonCopyClone will do the trick. Or copy the entire directory folder of MS 2008 on a flush stick and move it/copy it on a OS X 10.5 machine into the Applications folder like your were before you got the 10.6 upgrade and see if works there. If you don't have the Microsoft 2008 disk or some old backyps or some 10.5 system running you are out of luck. There is no way to reinstall without any of these.

Microsoft office 2008 applications not opening/saving

I have a 13" macbook pro rnning on Mac OSX10.6.7 and recently cannot open my microsoft word and excel 2008 applications. I have called Microsoft and have uninstalled and reinstalled but still experiencing the same problems. Any ideas on what to do?

Any update to your situation? I waited and today did the software update to 10.6.7 on my 15" MBP, and now can't open Word on Office 2008. It will open if I switch to a user account set up for tests. Excel also works. I've repaired permissions, installed the 10.6.7 font fix, rebooted twice, and deleted duplicate fonts and font caches that another post found to be an issue. Would love any help with this!

Can anyone please help me I really need these programs for my work. Thank you!

hi tuggerose
i think it is bad new for you. if it's any consilation i went through the same thing when i loaded mountain lion when it first came out. i think the problem is that mountain lion is a pure 64bit operating system and the software you have is 32bit. earlier os's were able to emulate 32bit but the new system does not. the answer is new software. i did it and it cost me a load of money and much angst so your not alone.

Hi,
No, no problems here with Office 2008, or 2011. Some people seem to think that 2008 had to be installed before the Lion OS was installed. I have reinstalled in on one of our machines that had issue with 2008, and I have installed after the Lion install was done. I had to install it twice as the first time didn't take.
You might try to reinstall Office 2008 - when I did it, the machine seemed to respond faster to opening Office documents, and we have had no glitches, so far, and that has been a couple of days.
I feel there are some possible issues, adn that Mickey Soft is working on it - I would expect an update from Mickey Soft, soon. It's not an Apple problem, as I see it, as over two dozen machines were updated that had Office 2008 on them, and ony one machine had issues.
Cheers,
M.

Outlook (MS Office 2011) will not open

Outlook (MS Office 2011) will not open. It begins to open with the opening window appearing and then just shuts down. I am running Mac OS X Version 10.7.5.

Have you looked at the previous discussions listed on the right side of this page under the heading "More Like This"? Ones with a green checkmark are solved.

Foxfire froze. Force quit. Could not reopen. Installed 8.0.1. Will not open on MAC 10.4.11 OSX

Foxfire froze when I tried to open email info. Had to force quit Foxfire. Could not reopen. Installed 8.0.1 Foxfire. This will not open on MAC 10.4.11

You '''can not use version 8.0.x on your 10.4.11 mac with ppc'''
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/8.0/system-requirements/
Firefox 4 versions and later do not run on a PowerPC Mac and require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
'''latest supported version for your os is 3.6.24''' you can download from here:
http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4+ versions '''if you like''' try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11(like yours) & 10.5.8

Office 2011 will not open in OS 10.9 with main user -- works with new user. Suggestions??

Office 2011 will not open in Mavericks with main user -- works with new user. Suggestions??
I've tried removing Office 2011 completely and re-installing to no avail.

Unfortunately, my experience with Office is that somethoping will get corrupted in your account that prevents it from running. I have never figured out what exactly needs to be removed to make it work again.

Performed update to 3.6.6, and now it will not open on Mac OS 10.6.4

I performed the update to 3.6.6, and now Firefox will not open on Mac OS 10.6.4. I hope I haven't lost all my bookmarks, etc.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after the update to 3.6.6

Using your link, I downloaded the new version. When I dragged the Firefox icon into the applications folder, it asked if I wanted the new version to replace the existing one, and I said yes. I was then told that it couldn't be done because I had insufficient privileges for some items. Is the reason for this that I didn't trash the old version BEFORE dragging the new one into the applications folder (under the assumption that "replace" meant that the old version was trashed as the new one was installed)? If not, it appears that I am back to the same problem I've had before.
Since I'll be replacing this computer soon, it seems too troublesome to bother with this update. I'd just like the update reminders to go away!

HT1338 microsoft office 2008 is not working with Lion

My Microsoft office 2008 is not working, it gives me a message that this program is in use in another computer on my network.
Is there any way to fix this issue?

That is the copy protection scheme that Microsoft employs. Each Office program sends out it's license code to your network. When you start an Office program, it looks for other Office programs with same code operating and prevents you from using it.

Pdf file created in Word 2008 will not open in Acrobat 8.2.6 or any other Adobe program

I have created a 12 page newsletter in Microsoft Word Publisher 2008 and have done so many times before with no problem. Today, I have tried to save it as a .pdf file both in Save As and through the printer. Each .pdf file created in Word will not open in Acrobat 8.2.6, Photoshop C3, Adobe Reader nor any other Adobe software.
When I go to open it in Acrobat, my Mac gives me the spinning rainbow. If I try to click on the file, I get a watch and then Acrobat crashes or I have to force quit the software. I really need to convert this file and get it to the printer. Any advice???
Mac OS X 10.6.7
Word 08 12.2.8
Acrobat 8.2.6
Adobe Reader 10.0.0

Here is a better example.
https://www.calcerts.com/PBR1.pdf
is the original PDF file that is uploaded by a user. Note that it is only 48kb in size.
I take the file, add a couple of watermarks and a footer for each page as well as a small image on the last page, add security on it and BAM, the file:
https://www.calcerts.com/PBR1_AFTER.pdf
is now 1.5 MB and it takes a LONG time to print.
Thoughts?

Microsoft Office 2008 Won't Open With OS X 10.9.4

I updated to 'Mavericks' about a month ago, had no issue whatsoever. I have been using Microsoft Office 2008 daily, a few times a day with no issues. This morning I tried to open it and it will not open, nor will 'Excell' or 'Power Point'. 'Entourage' opens fine. I keep getting an error notice "Mircrosoft Error Reporting" Any ideas how I can fix this? Thank you in advance.

Is anybody going to get back to me? I have done everything from run my fontbook to try lunching it through spotlight. Then I went into my terminal and re-entered the sudo code - then when that did not work, I removed the program and reinstalled it - to no avail. None of the links below help. So if someone can correspond directly with information, that would help.

Microsoft Office 2008 will only work on guest account, after upgrading to Mountain Lion

After installing Mountain Lion, I cannot get Office 2008 to work, I get an error an then the program will not open. I logged into my guest user account and Office works fine, so I am guessing it may be an error with my user profile? Any suggestions on how I can fix this issue? Thank you!

I should add that the error message i get is slightly different, see info below:-

Office 2013 Will not open documents in a shared folder but 2007 will.

Hi,
Recently we are testing office 2013 and have noticed a problem. When office attempts to open an Excel or Word document that is stored on a shared drive on the file server it will not open it. When you double click on the document, either word or
Excel, the appropriate Office app opens, but it opens on the start screen, i.e. the one with the templates displayed.
There are no error messages displayed , and it appears that the office app opens twice, i.e you see the splash screen with the app name on it two times in quick succession, however you cannot find two instances of the app open.
If you simply copy the document from the shared drive to the users desktop and then double click the file , the appropriate app opens and the file also opens without a problem.
Also if you go to a client machine with office 2007 loaded on it then the document on the shared drive opens without a problem at all.
The client machine with office 2013 is a Dell E7440 with windows 7 Pro 64bit.
Thanks in advance

I think its working now.
Here is what I had to do.
Delete Office from the machine once again, this time using the Microsoft tool to remove all remnants of the office software , then manually check the registry to see all the referenced keys had been removed.
Reboot.
Copy all the users data to another location on the same machine.
Delete the users profile.
Reboot.
Reload office using the link Dell sent me.
Reboot.
Log in as a domain admin and check that office would open the documents on the file share and it did.
Reboot.
Log in as the user who’s profile I had deleted so that the profile was recreated.
Attempt to open documents on the file share and it was successful.
Move most of the users data back to the users folder so that his system looked the same as before.
Reboot.
Try again to use office applications and open documents from the file share and it continued to function correctly.
Waited a day for the user to see how it went and it is still working now.
I have no idea what could have been causing this problem or why doing what I did above fixed it.
I hope the problem does not return.
Now we can move on with more testing to see its suitability to our field service engineers, remote connections and connections to our customer systems will be checked next.

Office 2013 will not open any applications

I am having a problem with a number of users complaining that Office 2013 applications will not open. I double click on the icon, or single click on the tile (Windows 8.1) nothing happens. Looking at the task manager the only thing related to the office
is the Office ClickToRun service is running.
The only thing I can do to get things working again is to do a full repair from the Programs and Features Control Panel Applet. I have tried the quick repair and numerous other things but nothing else works. I have let it go for many hours thinking it may
be installing something but still nothing happens.
Since I know how to fix it, the problem has a work around, however, since I am running a good number of workstations using 2013 this way I am afraid this is going to happen to more users (So far it is three users).
Please help, there must be a way to fix this instead of repairing every time it happens.

Hi,
Do you try to open Office with below methods?
Go to Office location folder to open Office suits.
Press Win+R>Enter winword.exe (or other)
If we can open them, please follow the KB and re-create the software shortcut in Windows 8.1
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2820848/en-us
If we still can't open them, please first let me know the update lists you have installed before this issue.
Then, restore the system back to the point when the Office app work fine.
As following, we can install these updates one by one to navigate which update cause this issue.
Then post back the KB number and full name here.
I will try to reproduce your issue and plan for further troubleshooting steps.
Thanks

Microsoft Outlook 2003 will not open after downloading BlackBerry Desktop

I just upgraded from a BB 8303e to the BB Tour 9630. When I downloaded BB Desktop manager to my computer the program required that I must download Microsoft.net Framework 2.0 SP1, I did that, and was able to bring over all current contacts and calendar. Once that was completed, I tried opening my Outlook, but received an error message stating that Outlook incurred an error. I have tried everything possible to correct but Outlook will not open. I reset my computer under system restore to a previous date which removed BB Desktop manager as well as the microsoft.net Framework 2.0 SP1, than Outlook would open as normal. So again downloaded BB Desktop manager and the required microsoft.net Framework 2.0 SP1 and again error messages came once again after I tried to open Outlook, so again I did system restore to a previous date so I could use Outlook.
Has anyone had this same problem, can anyone help me resolve this issue so I can use Outlook and BB Desktop manager?

Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper (v 2.8). Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
The effects of having actually used MacKeeper to do anything are a completely different matter. The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use such ill-conceived "cleaning" or "security" products. This is just one example of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing damage that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Never install such junk on a Mac.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.
