Microsoft office on my Imac

Hello!
Can anyone help me. I have just bought my first Imac and need support to install Office Home and Student 2007. I have this on a CD but are not able to run it. I will be very glad for help.

Your information here doesn't seem correct to me. You say you have a new IMac running 10.6.7 which is a PPC iMac.
First of all Apple stopped using PPC processors in 2006 so if it is new I doubt that it can be PPC iMac.
Secondly a PPC Mac is not capable of running Snow Leopard which is what 10.6.7 is called.
So something is wrong with your story here.
To get to your question about Office, my guess is that it the version for Windows which can't be installed on a Mac running OS X. That is the best I can do with the information provided.

HT3986 I have Microsoft Office on my iMac, can i transfer this to the Macbook Air if so how. There is no drive for the CD's!?

Hello I have Microsoft Office on my iMac is there any way i can transfer this to my Macbook Air as my version is on disc?

Unless you purchased a multi user license for your current copy of Office it will not activate, you can phone the activation in but you will have to lie to Microsoft when asked 'how many computers' etc.
You can purchase additional licenses and download Software from Microsoft or 3rd party retailers (Amazon etc)

How do I use microsoft office 2010 on imac?

Hi, I would like to use microsoft office 2010 on my imac for school purposes, how can I accomplish that?

I suggest that you get the student version of 2011 for mac. i believe it is around 120us or so on amazon or the apple store. The other option would be to use 2010 for windows running paralles or a similar Windows emulator.
Cheers

How do I get Microsoft office from my iMac to my Macbook Pro

I have an older paid for version of Microsoft Office. I believe it is 2011? Anyhow, I got a New/used fully updated Macbook Pro and I used my Time Capsule to transfer all my data from my iMac to my laptop, but much of the music is absent, as well as my purchased apps. How do I get these over? I do not have an optical drive so it is not as easy as reinstalling.

If it's Office 2011 you can download a Trial at www.mactopia.com. You can then use your license key to make it a fully functional version.
You can also download EasyFind 4.9 and use it to locate all the relevant Microsoft and office files located elsewhere on your old drive so you can transfer them to your new one.

How to Sign in Microsoft Office 2011 on iMac?

I installed Microsoft Office 2011 on my new iMac. Before starting to use it, I need to sign in but I could not. My husband bought the CD last year and installed Office to his MacBook Air. Should I use my his Apple ID to sign in?

Hello
This forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to Microsoft Office or your question in any way. If you have issues or questions about Office, it's probably best you post Office related questions on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products.

HT5287 how do I install microsoft office on my iMac without a disk drive?

How do I install office:mac home &student on my imac without a disk drive?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have Microsoft Office for Mac on a DVD, you have two options:
1. Buy an external optical drive, connect it to the iMac and use it to install Office.
2. If you have another Mac or PC, use Remote Disc > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5287?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Both options are valid, but the option to install it from an external optical drive is much better. It's faster than installing it with Remote Disc

Microsoft Office programs fo iMac

I am thinking of purchasing an iMac does it have similiar programs to Office suite or do I need to purchase Office for Mac????

You can purchase Office for Mac or you can also get free alternatives such as Neo Office or Open Office. You can download both by going to Macupdate.com and doing a search for each. In addition Apple makes iWorks which includes Pages, Numbers and Keynotes which are alternatives to Word, Excel & PowerPoint. You can find information about them on Apples website and purchase them ($20 each) from the Mac App Store.

Using Microsoft Office on Intel iMac

Should I remove the Test drive files from the hard drive? The programs seem to run very slowly on this new machine?

Office is not an universal binary so it must run via Rosetta. That will make it a slower than running natively on a PPC Mac.
Whether you remove it or not, however, is up to you. Eventually the trial expires anyway. If you do remove it be sure to use the uninstaller that is supplied with it.

No version of MS Word for OS X has ever supported Arabic, so you will have to use a different app. Mellel is best, but TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or Open/Neo/LibreOffice should also work.

I downloaded Microsoft office on my IMac. I share this with someone and we have separate Apple Id's.

Microsoft Office for Macbook Air

Hi
I purchased microsoft office for my iMac last year. I have now bought my daughter a Macbook Air. Can I put the same version on her Macbook? If so, how do I do it? Or do I have to purchase it all again?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I believe that Migration Assistant will allow you to copy all your apps from the iMac to the new MBA. Try it - that's the best way to ensure your license information transfers properly so that Office won't complain.
You should also consider that there are alternatives to Office. Most are better and some are free. OpenOffice and LibreOffice are but two.

Microsoft office what version works with OS10.3.9

I am biting the bullet and want to install Microsoft Office on my iMac. What version will be compatible with OS 10.3.9? I have no desire to upgrade my operating system at this time.

Before you buy Office, check out NeoOffice http://download.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php
NeoOffice (freeware) is equivalent to Microsoft Office. It can open Excel files, Word files & PowerPoint files. You can also create these types of files that can be opened by PC users.

Microsoft office for mac help??

I have installed Microsoft Office to my Imac but it only appears in my user profile and not the others - how do I get it on the others without reinstalling?

Normally when you install programs, they're in the central Applications folder. (When you open a Finder window, click Applications, and you should see the Microsoft Office folder.). If so, you just have to drag the programs down into your dock to create shortcuts there for each user, if that's what you want to do. Anyone can, of course, also just launch the programs by double-clicking them in the Finder.

How can I use Microsoft Office on two user accounts on one IMAc?

Dear all,
I have installed Microsoft Office 2011 on my IMac which I have recently bought. I did this on the (at that time) only user account in place: the administrator account.
A little time after this my wife and I decided it would be much easier to us to make an additional user account on the same computer for my wife (also with administrator rights), so we could have our own settings, desktop preferences etc. So now we have two user accounts/profiles on one Imac, so far so good.
But when my wife signs in on her account, she is not able to use Microsoft Office . Office seems to be only available to the user account on which it has been installed initially: 'my' account.
Can anyone help us out here and tell us how we can make Office available to my wife's user account as well? I understand that the licence of Office is restricted to one computer, but what about two accounts on the same IMac? I mean, it is still one computer, one 'home', one family etc.
We would appreciate your help here!
Kind regards,
Jurjen

As long as you installed MS Office into its default location (the top level /Applications folder) it will be available to all user accounts on the Mac.
As far as licensing is concerned you only have to enter the license code once, which you should do right after installing MS Office, in the same admin account you installed it from, by opening any one of the MS Office applications. There is no additional licensing required for additional user accounts on the same Mac.
Each user account is able to run the Office apps. The only thing you will have to do is go through an initial setup screen in each user account (but this setup does NOT involve entering any additional license codes).
You may have problems if you installed MS Office in a particular user account (i.e. NOT in the top level /Applications folder).

Microsoft Office 2004 (Word) unable to save files
I have been running Office 2004 on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard for some time and all of a sudden I cannot save a document. Word just stopped responding and I have to force quit. I can open Word and create a new document but I cannot save it. I reinstalled Word but that didn’t help. Then went to the Internet and found at least one other Mac user having the same problem which it suggests is caused by a recent Mac Security Update:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2004-macword/word-2004-wil l-not-open-or-save-documents/b04eb870-9b0d-4f3b-bb47-b122301e36f6
So I check for a new Mac Security Update and sure enough there was one. I downloaded it and now Word seems to be working, as it should. I can both open and save files. The only problem remaining is that when I open Word I get the following error message “An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library”. I contacted Apple but they were unable to help.
How can I get rid of this error message?

Look, I realize you might have to get your machine working, so this is how you revert back.
Restore proceedure to pre-Security Update 2012-001 v 1.0 & v 1.1
#1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
#2 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk of your internal drive (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway) or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
#3 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001 v1.0 or v1.1
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
#4 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason as they are missing the part they installed into OS X.
If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

That's it really.
