Microsoft Office X programs do not run on Lion.

After installing Lion all Microsoft Office X programs do not work anymore. What can I do?

Hello Sandra,
Microsoft Office X and 2004 are not supported as they are PowerPC applications and Apple did remove support for these in Lion.
You can either:
- Buy Office 2011.
- Install Snow Leopard on a seperate partition or external disk, boot from it and run MS Office X from there.
- Use one of the free alternatives for MS Office, like Open Office or Libre Office.
I suggest the "Search button" as well as there a tons of posts in these forums about this subject that will help you further.

Will Microsoft Office For Mac V.X run on Lion?

Need to determine if I have to buy the latest version of Microsoft Office For Mac. Would prefer to use my V.X. I am upgrading to Lion for iCloud.

However, Office 2008, which does run in Lion, MUST BE INSTALLED BEFORE you upgrade to Lion, because its installation program has Rosetta-required PPC code.
Another issue is that many people with legacy MS Office data files are experiencing severe problems with translation of the legacy files by MS Office 2008 or 2011.
For example, I must access a file once a week that I created in MS Excel 2004 and its graphs are scrambled by Excel 2011. I continue to access it with Excel 2004 in Snow Leopards installed in Parallels 7 in Lion:
If you decide to continue to use your Office v.X, full installation instructions for Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) in Parallels 7 in Lion are here:

IWork '09 programs will not run on Lion

I have iWork 09 installed on my MacBook Pro. After installing Lion, none of the three software programs will open. I get an error telling me to contact the developer and make sure I am running the most current version of the software. I have run all the standard Software Updates and everything seems to be up to date. I have tried downloading the iWork updater v9.1 but when I run it, it tells me that my version of Keynote is newer than the update and then quits.
Anyone have any ideas?

Office 2004 was written for PowerPC. To run Office 2004 on an Intel based Mac, you need Rosetta to translate PowerPC instructions to Intel instructions. OS X Lion no longer includes or supports Rosetta. As such, any application written for PowerPC no longer work on Lion, including Office 2004.
Office 2008 and Office 2011 were written for Intel. They'll work just fine on OS X Lion.
To address your problem, you can do one of the following:
1) Reinstall OS X Snow Leopard from a backup, if you made one.
2) Upgrade to Office 2011.
3) You could use a suite of productivity apps that can import Office documents, such as OpenOffice, or Apple's iWorks. There will be some incompatibilities between these applications and Office though.

Buttons on toolbar do not work in Microsoft Office 2003 programs.

I am using Adobe Acrobat Elements 6.0. My toolbar buttons do not work in any of my Microsoft Office 2003 programs. I can Print file and change the print file to Adobe PDF to convert, but it would be nice to be able to use these buttons on the tool bar. When I run my mouse cursor over the buttons it tells me to "see Adobe PDF menu for settings." Can anyone help me?

Did the buttons previously work in Office 2003?
The best information I could find is a troubleshooting guide: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/317/317147.hml Make sure your installation of Acrobat and Office are fully updated.
As a side note, Adobe stopped developing Acrobat Elements in 2007. http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/acrobatel.html

Office 2013 applications will not run as a domain users

I have a windows 7 64-bit pc with 2013 office home and and business installed. When trying to access Office as a domain user the programs will not run. Is there a fix for this other than making the users local admins?

Hi,
Which version of Office 2013 did you deployed, Windows Installer-based version or the Click-to-Run version?
Did you install the Office product with local administrator account? I notice that the users must be local administrators on their computers to install Office:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee624360.aspx
If we add the local admin right to the user, can the Office programs be launched? If so, repair the Office programs and then remove the local admin right. See if it can work.
Best regards,
Rex Zhang

I have removed 12 & 14 hive.
My Query is: Anything needs to remove from server or what should i do for this issue?

Are you trying to install Office Web Apps 2013 on the same server as SharePoint Server 2013? Sorry I could not figured that part from your post. If you are installing OWA on SP 2013 server then it is not possible in SP 2013. You will need to install OWA
on different server where SharePoint is not installed. Basically a dedicated OWA server(s).

MICROSOFT OFFICE 2004 PROGRAMS FOR MAC

Please take your time to educate me how to remove the Office 2004 Test Drive installed and disable virus protection software on my computer while I am in the middle of Setup Assistance before installing the Microsoft Office 2004 programs into my computer.

The Office 2004(test drive) folder is located inside of your Applications folder. Double click on Macintosh HD from the desktop then double click on Applications and look for the Office folder. The Trash icon will be located on the right side or bottom of your Dock depending on which orientation you have it. Once you have moved it to the trash then Empty the trash by right clicking on the trashcan and selecting "Empty Trash".
That is just a default warning that only applies if you have installed specific Anti-Virus software on your Mac. Apple currently does not ship Macs with any kind of Anti-Virus programs installed so you do not need to worry about it.

I cant install the Microsoft office 2011 program

Hi - I had installed the Microsoft Office 2011 program before and then there was an upgrade available. After doing the upgrade...there was a constant error message whenver I opened any related programs, so I deleted the program files. But now when I try to redownload it, there is an error message to say something like: "the office file is not found on this disk to perform this upgrage" (those are not the exact words). But it seems as though it's trying to upgrade but I want to reinstall the entire [program
Thanks!

Are you running on a Retina machine? The lastest updates to Office 2011 support Retina display native mode - have you gone under the Help menu to see if there are updates available?

My Firefox version is 13.0.1, I use Windows Seven 64-bit, when I click on Firefox, but the program does not run! But Firefox is seen in the list of Windows processes, while Firefox does not run.
I manually deleted Firefox from the list once I have Windows processing.
And when I clicked on Firefox, Firefox will open quickly and easily.
Firefox process in Windows Processes names list called "firefox.exe * 32" is.
Please try to solve my problem, my problem is how to solve?

Hi, are you saying that you start Firefox and it stalls -- you can see it in the Task Manager but it never displays -- but if you kill that process and start Firefox again it starts up properly that second time?
If you look at the statistics available in the Task Manager's processes tab such as bytes read or other bytes, can you see whether Firefox is doing anything at all? ''Note: You might need to add columns if your Processes tab isn't set up to display statistics. You can do that from the View menu.''
You might already have seen these troubleshooting articles. If not, does anything here help:

I deactivated Photoshop CC on my Mac Mini and downloaded PS CC on my MacBook 1.1. I didn't realize the program will not run on MB 1.1. I uninstalled the app on the MacBook. I tried to reactivate on my Mac Mini and it tells me I already have the program loaded on two computers. How do I solve the problem?

The activation server shows that it is now activated on two computer, it has been deactivated once .
When you install it on the third computer or for the third time & when you to activate it, if it installed & activated already twice, there will be an option of deactivating it from the previous computers, please click on that.(To deactivate from preinstalled machine, Open any Adobe CC application > Help Menu > Signout.)
Next it will allow you to activate on your new machine,
Now you can go back to your first computer, log out & log back in of Desktopp CC App, launch any product, if there is any product to buy, in that prompt there will be an option to " license the software", please click on that & sign in.
It will reactivate the CC on the first machine.
You have already deactivated it from one machine, hence you can activate it on third computer.
