Microsoft Office and DFS namespace

Hey guys
We recently switch our folder redirection to a DFS server and now we have users experiencing "Trying to Connect to domain.local
and I don't think its an error more just a visual message but is there anything we can do to disable or fix the issue? We have Windows 7 Clients w/ Office 2010 and Windows 8 Clients w/ Office 2013 both experiencing it when the Click on "Open" or
"Save in the application.

Hi,
I think it is caused that Office consider the \\domain.com\root\folder is a place like an internet location (which is normal to me that Office does not know about DFS) and I assume it is the default behavior of Office for displaying "connect to xxx"
while opening or saving files from/to an internet location.
I confirmed with Office engineer about disabling it but there is no such option in Office. You could post a thread to Office forum for further information about it:

I am trying to install an update of Microsoft office and I get a message that says. This application must be closed ETC..... I am running Parralell and I think it is there. The two programs are "Microsoft Database Daemon" "SyncServicesAgent"....

I am trying to install an update of Microsoft office and I get a message that says. This application must be closed ETC..... I am running Parralell and I think it is there. The two programs are "Microsoft Database Daemon" "SyncServicesAgent". How do I close these programs?

If the Office updates have to be run through Win in Parallels, there's not really a section here that covers that , because Neither Office or Parallels are Apple products. There is only a small chance that you'll find someone with BOTH your conditions who just happend to look into a forum on older iMacs.
Parallels has a forum here:

I think you'll get a faster response there.

Office requies a MS serial number, not your Apple ID. Are you attempting to install the Office 360 pay as you go version?

I have an iMac with Microsoft Office and an HD - Time Machine. I'm buying a MacBook Pro and I want to know that if I use the Time Machine to transfer all my stuff the Microsof Office will work or if I need to reinstall it with another licence ?

I have an iMac with Microsoft Office (and several other licenced softs) and an HD - Time Machine that backup all the stuff. I'm buying a MacBook Pro and I would to know that if I use the Time Machine to transfer all my stuff, the Microsof Office will work normally or if I need to reinstall it with another licence?

You do not need a new license. The license file will be found in /Library/Preferences/ and is named, com.microsoft.office.licensing.plist. Be sure it gets transferred and you will be fine. I see no reason why the file would not be in your Time Machine backup nor any reason why it would be restored.
Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine. You may need help figuring out how to restore your current backup to a new machine.

I have downloaded updates for microsoft office and now the internet wont work - any ideas?

I have downloaded updates for microsoft office and now the internet wont work - any ideas?

If you want to simply do a 'fresh' install (versus wiping out all of your data and doing a 'clean' install) simply boot to your Recovery partition (hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and when the Recovery screen appears, elect to freshly install OS X.
Don't know that will solve your problem, though... did you do the 'automatic' update or download the update as a disk image (.dmg)? I wouldn't think that would be causing your problems...

Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported.

How do I load microsoft office and pdf files onto an Ipad

How do I load microsoft office and pdf files onto an Ipad?

You can email them, you can use DropBox, SugarSync or another cloud service or you can use iOS file sharing.
But in all cases you need an app on the iPad that will open and save those types of files. iBooks, Adobe Readers, Good Reader and Save 2 PDF will all save PDF files.
Documents to Go, Quick Office Pro and the Apple iWorks apps will open and save the MS office files. You can Google - "iPad apps that are compatible with Microsoft Office files" and you will find other alternatives - or search the app store for more.
You can read this as well for some instruction on getting those files onto an iPad.

What type of microsoft office and home do i buy for my imac g4 v10.4.11

That's a valid question as your OS is somewhat vulnerable, although most modern malware will only execute on an Intel Mac, there has been at least one that is PPC savy. Your best defense against that would be to keep Java turned off in all browsers.
The problem you will find is that most A-V software these days is also Intel only or requires Leopard.
ClamXav requires OS X 10.5 or above, but you can still find a Tiger version here.
Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac Home Edition looks like it will still work.

I just purchased a Mac book air. I have the Microsoft office and school for Mac but can not down load it on The Air. Is ther a way to download it on line using the codes on the box?

I purchased MacBook Air I have a Microsoft Offic and School for Mac. Is there a way to download this product using info from the box since I can't put the disk in the Air

You can download the trial: https://www.microsoft.com/mac/trial
There should be a place to register in which you could enter your code. It may only ask you to register after the thirty days, I can't recall.

Microsoft Office and Mac OS X 10.6 Issues

Two weeks ago I installed Snow Leopard to my Mac hoping it would be an upgrade. Everything works well other than my Microsoft Office, and as a student, this is a huge problem. I have Word 2004, and now it freezes all the time. What can I do to fix this?
Thanks,
Amanda

Hi, Amanda & welcome to the forums.
I'm not going to lecture you about software compatibility - I'm sure you can do the math between 2004 & 2009, but I will warn you about a common issue with fonts that old...
The general approach at this time is to ask if you've checked for any problematic fonts with Apple's Font Book (look in the Applications folder). Be sure to find and remove all duplicates also.
Start there to be sure all fonts that are in play come out with a clean bill of health.
Also, don't hesisate to perform wholesale deletion of old and/or little used fonts - be skeptical of anything that has come from any MS Equation Editor installation and good luck.
I would also suggest you take a look at iWork '09 with Pages. You can download a trial version. I think it would be a good step in concert with your new OS to get current with a new word processor as well.

Problems yoga 3 with microsoft office and open office

Have a problem with running microsoft office and open office on the yoga 3. Both programms are unstable and some calculation sheets in Excel don't even open, while they run perfect on my old HP notebook and the Asus Zenbook of my friend. Does anyone has an idea what could be wrong here?

Latest Yoga 3 ships with Win 8.1
Exactly, what error are you getting. Could you get a screenshot?
Are other/normal excel files working fine?
Does your file have macros or just complex formulas?
Could you create a new excel, copy your data into it and try to work with that?

Is snow leopard compatible with microsoft office and with quicken 2007?

Is snow leopard 10.6.3 compatible with Microsoft office and with quicken 2007. I am about to upgrade to snow leopard and wanted to see if there are any problems with interfacing with non apple applications. Any help is appreciated.

Yes. Snow Leopard includes Rosetta, which will allow Office 2004 and Quicken 2007 to run. Office 2008 and 2011 are Intel native and will also run under SL.

Microsoft Office and Adobe Won't Open After 3/11 Updates

This morning I installed all of the 3/11 updates (Java update, daylight savings time, Quicktime, etc.). After my computer restarted, I can no longer open any Microsoft office product (Word, Excel, and Powerpoint) or Adobe Reader. There is not specific error message other than "Word has encountered an error" when I am opening the program and then the program immediately closing. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no success. Any one else having problems?

been having some similar problems, mainly related to Entourage. am working with eMacs, primarily, and network home directories. have not had any problems--yet--on my macbook pro.
what has been a successful fix, thus far, has been to delete Microsoft User Data folder (in Documents folder). I would keep a backup of current/old folder if you use Entourage b/c messages, addresses etc are stored in database.
move entire MS User Data folder to another location, then try launching Office app and folder will be re-created. see if that works for now.

Can I install Microsoft Word on my iPad, and if so how? I have a disk with Microsoft Office and an extra license to use it, but IPad's do not have disk ports.

How do I install Microsoft Office for Mac on my iPad?

You cannot, as Microsoft Word is made for computers, not tablets. You have two main choices if you want to create documents:
1. Buy Pages in the App Store, does the same job but is made by Apple and not as good.
2. If you have Office 365, there's an Office app for iPhone, but can also run on iPad.
There are far more choices than those two.
