MS Office 12.1.3 update problem

I've got Office 2008 (12.1.2) on my Leopard-based (10.5.5) Mac Pro. I went to do the latest update of Office (to 12.1.3) and it hangs at the point of asking me which drive to install it on. It tells me my startup drive is unavailable, and then proceeds to tell me that the five other drives I have are unavailable. I've never encountered this problem with any software before. I've repaired permissions with Disk Utility (no permission errors), I've checked the permissions on the Office components against the permissions of all other software in the applications folder, and the folder itself. I've rebooted, restarted, and done just about everything I can think of. Nothing will release the startup drive from inaccessibility. Yet, I can go to version tracker, pick another piece of software I have that requires upgrading, and it goes without a hitch. I'm beginning to think this is a problem with the Office Installer. I've also tried downloading the update from different sources multiple times with no success.
Anyone have any thoughts about this? Anyone succeed in installing the update?
Sorry if I've posted this in the wrong place. I'm not sure if this is a Microsoft problem (most likely) or an Apple problem, but it is bugging me.
Thanks.

I believe it's an MS problem, but you might get more support here:

I removed Microsoft Office 2008 but still get Microsoft Autoupdate for it. I can't complete the upgrade because the application is gone. Is there a trace of Office 2008 somewhere creating this problem?

I removed Microsoft Office 2008 but still get Microsoft Autoupdate for it. I can't complete the upgrade because the application is removed, but cannot make the auto update prompt go away either. Is there a trace of Office 2008 somewhere creating this problem and how do I get rid of it?

Thanks for the tip. Went through the process on Microsoft's site and the files that were causing the issue were the com.microsoft files in Library-Preferences. Removed all of those, then opened an Office 2011 application; had to go through some basic setup questions the first time, but I no longer get prompted upgrade 2008.

Does Lion support MS Office for Mac 2011? The RoaringApps compatibility list shows Office 2011 having some unspecified problems with Lion.

I'm running MS Office 2011 on Lion and it runs just fine. No "Full Screen", but it runs just fine. There may have been an update to install (I know there was an iWork one anyway), but even before I installed any updates Office '11 worked just fine.

My apple tv mirroring is slow. So slow it shuts off. Any thoughts on cause? I use this device in my office for presentations without a problem. In my home with a stronger wifi router, I'm having issues.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

I'm curious how you are running this code within excel as I would expect you would've had to write a dll to expose the SDK as COM in order to be able to access it from an excel document.

Update problem - VBDATA table

Dear All,
We have update problems in our Quality systems, and also in every R/3 system that we create from a Production system copy.
Sometime the UPD and UP2 work processes hung without apparent reason.
In the SM50 I can see one or more of my update processes running for a lot of time (many hours) on the table VBDATA without perform any action.
In the tcode SM12 I donu2019t see any kind of lock, and I donu2019t understand why only sometime this problem happens.
Of course, from the SM13 I can see that during this problem the system is not able to perform any kind of update.
As I told in the beginning of the message, I have the same problem in other two R/3 systems, both created with a system copy from the production system.
The Production and the Developer systems seem not affected by this problem.
Have you got any idea about the reason of the problem?
Even if the Production systems is not directly affected, all the IT department is not able to work on the Quality system (or any other Test system), and the only workaround is to kill the UPD (or UP2) WPs affected.
Thanks in advance,
Federico Biavati
My R/3 System is a 4.7 on SLES9 and Oracle 10.2.0.2

Hello Siva,
This is what I did:
> Check how many entries do you have in VBDATA currently.
More than 1.000 in every SAP systems that Iu2019m creating from Production
> You might want to run the reorganize updates program to clear the old updates
> that are pending/in error
Good point!!
After the reorganization (ST14 u2013 Reorganize update requests) the table VBDATA is empty.
Iu2019ll check and Iu2019ll let you know if the problem is definitively solved.
Thanks for you help,
Federico

Chart x scale update problem

LabVIEW 8.5.1
Sweep Chart Problem
The x scale values do not update until after the 2nd sweep. The red line cursor gets to the end of the sweep and starts the next, but the scale numbers do not update until the next sweep starts.
It appears to be a problem with the chart, since it happens with any vi with a sweep chart. I've used versions 6 through 7 for years and never seen this. I've only recently moved to a new job with a new machine and version 8.5.1., so I'm not sure what to try.
I've included a simple example.
Thanks much,
JSC321

You have a typical race condition!
There is no data dependency between the property node and the while loop, so in your case the loop starts executing first and the property node starts slightly later, immediately erasing the first point. Execution order is not defined.
All you need to do is add a data dependency, e.g. as with the error cluster in the image. This forces the property node to complete before the loop is allowed to start.
(Execution order is enforced even if the wire value is not even used inside the loop )
Try it!

Deferring Office 365 Pro Plus Updates (possible?) - Clicking Cancel fails install (no deferral or advert retry)!

I'm planning to deliver Office 365 Pro Plus updates via SCCM where i can control the build versions and use the already available SCCM to do so.
My issue is around the user clicking "Cancel" when they are prompted with the notification window to close down Office apps when trying
to release an updated build version.
This is because when the user selects cancel the application fails with "The exit code
is 17002, the execution status is FailureNonRetry" = FAILED. This message is taken from the execmgr.log.
Ideally I'd like to allow the user to defer the install say 3 times and afterwards deploy it mandatory...like how you could manage WSUS patches.
Does anyone have any helpful suggestions around this? Thanks in advance!

I'll answer my own question again...:/
If you re-run the advertisement set the schedule to something like daily then as expected the user will be re-prompted with the notification window providing they have a office app open at the time of deployment. Ensure the program is set to re-run
on failed attempt.
However this will continue to be re-curring and you'll never know when the user will decide to click close programs to continue the install. So i worked around this by using a program wrapper from AppDeploy which worked a treat. It allows you
to defer programs a specified number of times. Very helpful on the user interaction side of things.

10.5.7 update problems

After installing the 10.5.7 update, Mail, iTunes and iPhoto will not run anymore. Anyone else having this problem?

jjtopspin wrote:
Before I came to these apple discussions re: update problems with 10.5.7, I tried to update this version yesterday and at the end of the download this message came up, the update "Mac OS X update" can't be saved. The digital signature for this package is incorrect. The package may have been tampered with or corrupted since being signed to Apple.
I got the same message. The downloaded file that generated the message was only about 560 KB, indicating it was an incomplete download. I moved it to the trash & tried again. The second download attempt succeeded. I had a minor if nerve-wracking issue with the update (the blue looping screen reported in another topic in this forum) but after a forced shutdown & restart the update was completed successfully.
I have since updated my two other Macs so all those listed in my profile are now running 10.5.7. All do so without any problems & in fact work better & more stably than ever before.
I doubt that I'm unusual in this respect. Some users will have problems but I believe most won't, & for those that do most problems will turn out to be caused by something other than the update itself. So it has been for every previous Leopard update; I see no reason to think this one will be any different.

Cache update problem in Integration Directory

Hi all,
We have a cache update problem in our PI development server.
If we try to edit, save and activate any of the ID objects, under Cache notifications>Central Adapter Engine> all these objects are displayed as gray items.
We have tried:
1. Clearing the SLD Data Cache.
2. Did SXI_CACHE complete refresh.
3. Did CPA cache refresh.
4. Did a complete cache refresh of the server.
5. Restarted the server.
But still the problem has not bee resolved. Could you pls provide your inputs and resolution points.
Thank you very much.
regards,
Jack Nuson

HI Jack ,
first try to manually update the cache from ID select on your cache notifiaction and click on delta cache refresh button and refresh button .IF it does not yied any result then
Perform a full cache refresh using the URL
http://<host>:<port>/CPACache/refresh?mode=full . If the cache refresh happens properly then your problem will get resolved other wise you have to see the cache log to view why it failed there it will show you the exact reason . You might need to restart your java server also if the problem persist .
Regards,
Saurabh

Twitter Update Problem

Seems I have a Twitter Update problem. 1. I have no pirated software on my computer either from the App Store or anywhere else. 2. I did buy a set off templates for iWork through the App Store with my Bosses Apple ID (it's for work). Is that really the problem. That's ridiculous. The apple ID is mine, as is much of the software, but it's a computer use for work. If this is true it makes the App Store a lot less useful.

my apologies I was so annoyed. I didn't bother to state my issue. The issue is: Twitter is constantly asking to be updated. Even after it's updated. Even if it's deleted. I looked at the forums for a solution and found that people were having this problem who installed pirated app store apps.
I am logged into the app store on my account. All but one of the apps on my machine that come from the app store are on my account. However there is one piece of software on my account that I purchased, by logging out and logging in with her ID, purchasing it, installing and logging out, and again logging in as myself. I don't have an issue with that app. However Twitter, which was installed under my username, constantly says it needs to be updated. Hope that makes it clearer.
