Microsoft office CD keys. How do you delete/reset the key?

Well I picked up my new macbook and my friend decided to instal microsoft office 2004 on my computer (I know have password locking). But when he did that instead of using one of my two keys still available on the one I purchased from the apple store.... He used a cracked key. Now I can't figure out how to erase the key and input my own key. If anyone could help me it would be much appreciated.

Wipe off all microsoft office files. They will be in these directories:
/Applications/
/Applications/Utilities/
/Library/Application Support/
~/Library/Application Support/ (this "Library" is the one in your "home" folder -- indicated here by the tilde)
~/Library/Preferences/
~/Documents/
There will be com.Microsoft.application.plist files in the "Preferences" folder along with a folder called "Microsoft".
Getting rid of all microsoft office related files in these folders should clear the installation off your system.

    Hi turintest2
    Thanks for taking the time to respond - however your reply didn't really help as you haven't explained how to delete the compilation album that had been created.
    I managed to sort it out by doing the following (I'm posting this so that it may help others).  I don't know if this is the simplest/most elegant solution - but it works.
    In iTunes, find the compilation (in my case, the 153 songs) and, starting with the first song, follow this procedure:
    On the iPhone go to 'Songs' and scroll down the list until you find the first song that was listed in iTunes (above).  You should notice (as in my case) that the song will have the correct title (and artwork too if you'd found this previously before making the compliation) but the wring artist.
    Swipe LEFT and press the 'Delete' button.
    Repeat with second song in iTunes list, deleting the individual songs from the iPhone, one by one.
    Although tedious, this seemed to work for me.  Reason for doing down the iTunes list is that it is in a pseudo-alphabetical order and I wanted to make sure I'd got every one.
    Now busy re-importing the original albums from CD.
    Thank you APPLE for making this such a laborious process.  Why can't designers actually TEST the products they design so that they can appreciate first-hand the likely problems?
    Anyhow, thanks turintest2 for trying to help me - it was appreciated.

  • HT1338 how do you delete from the start up disk- message keeps saying ful

    How do you delete files off of the start up disk to make more space?

    You open a Finder window, navigate to the location with files you want to delete.  In the window, drag the file you want to delete to the Trash (waste basket) icon in the Dock, and release it there.  Periodically, click-hold (or right click) on the Trash icon and select Empty Trash, which will delete the files to free up the disk space.  (You can select more than one file at once.)
    A good place to initially look is your Downloads folder, which normally has a quick link in the sidebar of a Finder window.  Most people tend to accumulate stuff they don't need to keep there.

  • How do you delete On The Go playlists?

    I accidentely added like 4 playlists to On-The-Go...how do I delete them? Thanks.

    If they were "saved" on the iPod, then they should show up in iTunes the next time you sync. You can then delete them from there.
    If they haven't been saved then go to clear playlist-->clear (music-->playlists-->on-the-go)
    Also, are you updating automatically or manually?
    If manually, then click the little arrow next to the iPod and select the playlists in that list of iPod playlists and hit delete.

  • HT5312 But how do you actually reset the security questions?

    How do you reset your security questions?

    The page that you posted from has instructions half-way down it for how to reset them i.e. if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 should let you reset them.
    If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • How do you factory reset the aluminum bluetooth keyboard?

    When I got my new BT keyboard, I set it up on my macbook just to test it out. But its final use was with the mac mini in my living room.
    I deleted the pairing from my macbook and paired it with my mini. All was working ok until a few days ago, when the keyboard light started flashing for no reason when in use, and my macbook shows that the keyboard is trying to pair with it.
    Is there a way to factory reset the keyboard, so it doesn't remember any previous pairings? I know this is possible with other bluetooth devices, I just can't find how to do it with this apple keyboard.

    Hello:
    Try trashing the preference file (com.apple.bluetooth.plist) and restarting.

    I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
    But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
    iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
    This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
    Also see this , -> Download past purchases
    and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
    Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
    Actually, no it does not tell you that.
    FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.
