MS Office 2011 prevents my Mac to stop... can I remove it but maintain my Office 2008? (I have both versions installed)

Hi all,
MAC OS X Leopard... I installed Office 2011 with a University license. Now after some months it is no more working and it prevents my Mac to stop...
I want to uninstall Office 2011 but maintain my Office 2008 installation that is still properly working.
I found a terrible Support Note from Microsoft, and I do not know what it will happen to Office 2008. Any suggestions that make it easy and safe?
Thank you very much in advance
Kind regards
Chiara

Hello, I have no experience with MS products sine the '90s, but open Activity Monitor, choose show all Processes, does MS or Office show anything using CPU% when 2008 isn't open?
Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately Office for Mac does not support the correct protocols to work with iCloud.

Contact Microsoft support and ask for help. You've paid for the kit, so installation-time support is part of the expectations. They'll probably suggest a Repair Permissions and a Verify Disk pass, both performed by booting the installation DVD and using Disk Utility from the Utilities menu item, and selecting those two repairs.

Cannot open downloaded Microsoft Office 2011 on my Mac

I recently downloaded Microsoft Office 2011 on my Mac (running OS 10.6.8). I keep getting a message that says there is no application that can open the program. I have managed to get an image by trying to open the .dmg file in disk utility, but when I try again to install, it still says no application can open it. Disk utility says that the file looks "ok." I've checked with Microsoft and they say I ought to be able to open it. Is there anything I can do?

Most apps use the Installer.app located in /System/Library/CoreServices/ to open installers. Launch that manually, then drop the Office installer app on top of its Dock icon. If that doesn't work, Reinstall Mtn Lion, starting with the latest update, 10.8.5 COMBO update.

I'm new to Mac and I have a Mac Mini. Could you please tell me how I could paste an URL to a video downloader like "Coolmuster Video Downloader for Mac"? I can copy the url but I could not paste it on the downloader. I appreciate your help to my problem.

Is this happing because the external is formatted to PC and not mac?
Yes that is correct.
Will I need to get a mac external hard drive if I wish to continue to save my documents like this?
If you no longer use a PC you could format this drive for the Mac. However be aware that formatting a drive will erase all the data on it. So you would need someplace to copy the data off this drive to while you did the re-format and then you could copy the data back.
You could get another drive, format it for the Mac and copy the data to it. Then re-format the original drive and use it as a backup drive. Always good to have backups.
Post back with the drive type and size of the current drive, if you are doing backups now and how and if you still need to access this drive from a PC.

Unable to save or open files in Excel from Office 2011 on my Mac Air with Mountain Lion?

Excel 2011 no longer saves or opens files?

I found this page under Microsoft's web area listing known issues with Excel 2011 on the Mac.
One is entitled "You cannot save a file that includes a hyperlink". That and/or other references on this page might be helpful.

How do I fix formatting errors in Open Office after downloading Microsoft Office 2011 on my mac?

I have used Open Office for almost 2 years. I recently downloaded Microsoft Office 2011 and now, not only can I not use Open office due to formatting issues, I cannot read any of my documents that were saved in Open Office unless I open them in TextEdit or copy and paste into microsoft word. Does any know of any solutions to this problem?? I tried deleting Microsoft office but that did not fix the issue. This is my first mac... and I love Open Office and prefer it over microsoft...

Crabtree1234,
Try this:
Install LibreOffice (https://www.libreoffice.org/)
Open your OpenOffice document(s)
Do a "Save As" and choose "Word Document (.docx)"
Then try opening them in Word. LibreOffice is mostly the same as OpenOffce but LibreOffice has support for saving .docx files. Here is more about the crazy history of the relationship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice).
This may or may not help with the formatting as any conversion of one document format to another is bound to cause issues.
Good luck.

Cannot install Office 2011 business on Mac Pro OS X Mavericks

I have read quite a few different solutions that people have posted to allow Mac Office 2011 to install, but none seem to work for me. I have tried safe mode. I can't uninstall because it is a new install, brand new setup, but it won't install for me. I don't know where to turn. Anybody else have success in installing it on a brand new latest machine?

If I upgrade to OS Yosemite, can I still use office 2011 on my Mac

If I upgrade to OS X Yosemite 10.10, can I still use office 2011 on my MacBook Pro 2011

Yes, I am still using mine. As long as you don't do a fresh install, which is deleting the hard drive then installing Yosemite. However, I recommend a new fresh install every update. It keeps the computer in tip top shape.

Unlucky recepient of the Troj/JSDldr-V "iTunes" trojan (turns itunes German, for starters). I have perused forums for how to remove the trojan nd cannot find anything for Mac (Sophos found, can't remove). Running a 2011 late model Macbook Pro 10.9.5

Hi! I was the unlucky recipient of the Troj/JSDldr-V "iTunes" trojan (turns itunes German, for starters). It arrived via a FedEx email that was in my Spam folder and somehow unleashed when I moved Spam to trash. (I saw a fake itunes update, clicked the red circle to close which might have been the trigger). Anyhoo, I am perplexed as to how to remove. My Sophos found it and isolated it afterwards, but has been unable to remove it as iTunes is already compromised - and everything being in German or faux German, I'm not about to enter any info as it cleverly prompts for admin user name and password. Sneaky buggers! I have perused forums and found it is likely spyware, but have been unsuccessful at finding how to remove for Mac (Sophos found threat, can't remove it). Running a 2011 late model Macbook Pro, 10.9.5. Any support would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm broke (as in homeless broke) and even if I had money, the nearest Apple store is a five hour drive away - a tad inconvenient and inaccessible. :-( Karma points for helping, though! And I always pay it forward!
