MS Office test version expired in 5 days...brand new or used machine???

Hello all,
A friend of mine purchased the iSight iMac a week ago and the test version has already expired. She was kind of worried that the machine wasn't brand new...
I am not sure about mine since I installed the standard version when I got it.
Just wondering if it's normal or.....should she ask for an exchange?
Thanks for the help in advance.

Office test drive expires b4 30 days...

i juz purchased macbookpro in early april. it comes with the office 2004 test drive, and i'm supposed to be able to use it for 30 days. but as i've changed the clock once by accident, it expires right away!! no matter how many times i reset the clock in system preferences, it juz doesn't help...
and, i find out that i can't even transfer the excel file back to my PC to edit...seems that the file is somehow "locked" when the office expires. when i transfer the excel to my PC, it changes to 1k, and simply can't be opened.
is there anyway i can set back the expiry date to a correct one?!? it's kindda urgent... i juz need more time b4 i can purchase an official copy...million thanx!!

Microsoft office test drive expired new PowerBook, help

hi. I don't know where else to ask this question. I have had my PowerBook for about 6 hours and I am already frustrated ... I tired to use the Microsoft Office Test Drive that is on the machine only to have it tell me that my 30 day trial has expired. How can it be expired when the PowerBook has only been used for less than 6 hours and Office for the install only? Any suggestions on how to get this to work? Or who to complain to? To Apple? It is almost impossible to complain to Microsoft or to get an answer from them.
I have purchased a copy of Microsoft Office but it hasn't shown up yet.
Thanks for the help.

Microsoft office test drive - Expired??

Hi there. I bought an emac about 2 months ago, and it had 'microsoft office 2004 for mac test drive' which is supposed to be a 30 day free test drive. But as soon as i tried to open it it said it had expired!
I rang up the store and the lady said to drag it to the trash, then re-install it by using my grey 'Mac OS X install Disc'
But when i use the disk and go to 'Optional Installs' i get to the 'custom install' page and there is no 'microsoft office test drive' to tick. under applications it only has iLife, iTunes and about 6 others.
Anyone out there who could help me?

You can download MS Office 2004 for Mac Test Drive from the MS website, also. Here is the link:

Kernel Panic and a strange sound on a two days brand new MBP 17" i7

I just got a brand new MBP 17" i7 two days ago. Already had two issues:
1. On the first day while the computer was doing an automatic software update I heard a loud horn type sound coming from within the machine. After that the screen turned grey with the Apple logo and a status bar underneath. After that the machine returned to the "normal" screen and keep working.
2. Yesterday while trying to set up a mighty mouse the computer gave me the kernel panic screen. I turned the computer off and then on again and everything seems fine.
I contact Apple and they gave me two options for my peace of mind:
1. Take the computer to an Apple Genius bar
2. Send the machine back to the store
I own an iMac and a Macbook and this things had never happened before. I don't think it's normal for a brand new computer to do things like that.
This incidents took place within the first two day of receiving the computer, but maybe down the road or as I start installing programs like Final Cut Studio 3 or Office for Mac, things could complicate...
What do you recommend?

Hi there.
The noise you heard and the status bar is usually the result of a firmware update being installed. Nothing to be concerned with and in fact will probably happen again if they just swap out the machine.
The kernel panic may have just been a fluke but you could try running the Apple Hardware Diagnostics that actually shipped with the machine to rule out hardware. If the tests come back ok then you could try to just re-install the OS.
Good luck.

MS Office Test Drive Expired

Hi,
I have just received a new iBook 12', and whilst I wait for software to arrive I was planning on using Office for some university work. However, I went to load up a word document and was told that the test drive had already expired!? Does this sound suspect to anyone, or am I just being stupid?
Ad.

Hi Folks -
The first thing to do is navigate to the Applications folder where the Test Drive was installed. Within that folder (or one of the folders in it) you will find a Remove Office utility. Use it to remove the Test Drive, emptu the Trash & restart.
Then you can go to
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads.aspx?pid=download&location=/mac/download/ office2004/office2004.xml&secid=4&ssid=1&flgnosysreq=True
and download/install another copy of the Test Drive. While there you might want to take a look at
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/office2004/howtobuy/howtobuy.aspx?pid=howt obuy
and you will find some pretty good deals if you recently bought a new Mac.

Help! During sync with my BB8100 & the new version of BDM for my brand new Mac all my mobile contacts got erased on my mobile!

Please help. Tried to sync my extensive list of contacts from my BB to my brand new MacBook Pro using the BB DM I just downloaded and it erased all my contacts, notes, and calendar listings from my BB! And it is not available on my macbook pro. There were no entries on my mac book pro since it's brand new. How can i restore my address book on my blackberry? Is this erased for ever?
Not very technically savvy and I performed no back up. Hoping for a miracle.

Hi - Can you please provide some additional information. When I go into preferences and choose Accounts, nothing is there. When I go to add an account, it prompts me for a username, password and server information. What needs to be entered in these fields? I tried my Mobile Me account name and password, but it didn't work - wanted server information. I have no idea what this would be. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

IWork '09 Pages test version won't open saved document

Help!
I worked on a Pages (30-days test version) document the whole day, saved all my changes but after I restarted the computer Pages wouldn't re-open it telling me that it can't be read. There are several versions of my file, all with the same name, but the only one I can open is an old version without all today's changes...

OK, Numbers 3.5.2 is doing the same thing, save an unchanged document and then it won't re-open… I found a fix, export as a Numbers 9 version, then re-open and save as latest version. Seems to be robust…

New credit card updated however creative cloud still saying it will expire in 12 days

hi i have been trying to sort this problem out for the last month. I have updated my billing information and seen that $1 has come out of my new credit card to verify the card. There is money on the card too. I still keep getting an error of the product expiring & this is stressing me out as I am in Australia and there is no way for me to contact adobe as it is in america. I sat online waiting for someone to help me via chat yesterday for 20 mins, finally got through and explained my situation and they said they will transfer me to another department via chat, and the other department never turned up. I am so frustrated, can you please help me?

I don't know if this will help or not. I've been having a similar problem for a while. After multiple attempts to update information directly on the Adobe site, I finally got my license to renew just now after signing out of the Creative Cloud client on my computer, then signing back in. It's not the first time I've tried that, it's the first time it actually worked.

Why does my Pages version 5 (Mavericks) quit unexpectedly when trying to use the template styles?

Nearly every time I try to use the template styling in the "Format" pane, the app will crash with the message saying "Pages quite unexpectedly".
By 'Template Styling' I mean Paragraph Styling, Character Styling, Bullets & Lists etc...
I only just bought this Mac so I have never had Pages '09 on it.
Please advise.
Thanks

I'm having this exact same issue. I suspect in my case it's an issue having to do with importing a Word document. Just to be on the safe side I ran through the validation of all of my installed fonts. They all checked out ok. As with @kuroshb I'm using the latest version of Pages on a brand new Mac.
It doesn't matter what style I select, the application quits. An example would include a body style of Arial Narrow Regular 15pt black. That's defined as a style. When I select that style the application quits.
How do I determine if the document is using another font other than what's already in Font Book?

Stupid $#@*&! 30 Day Office Trial Version..... :(

This really torks me off. I've had my new iMac for about 2 months. A 30 day trial of the latest Office. I didn't pay much attention to it though I'm quite happy with my old version of Office (X) and even happier with AppleWorks.
Anyway, the trial version decided it wanted to become my default word processor. That was fine until the trial version expired and then I couldn't open any of my documents. Crap.
I think I've deleted the trial version but my documents are still screwed up. I can't open them unless I open my original Office X and then use Office to open the document. It's very annoying. If I try double clicking on a document on my desktop, I get an error code -10660.
How do I purge this stupid trial version completely, remove all of its evil from my lovely new computer and get back to my being able to use (X)?
Thanks.
Brian

Your fixed W on the Dock was probably connected to the trial version. But OS X is sometimes smart enough to find the correct replacement application if it exists when the original is gone. However, it's still really a link to the trial version, so you get a second one (linked directly to the application that's actually on your hard drive) when you launch via a document.
It's an easy fix, though. Drag the W off of the Dock onto the desktop. It will disappear in a puff of smoke. Go to the MS Office folder in the Applications folder. Drag and drop the Word application wherever you want it on the Dock. A new link/icon will be created. Now you won't (shouldn't) see a second W appear on the Dock when you launch from double clicking a Word document.

I get a message that says "This version of pre-release ios will expire in 7 days" What should I do? I am currently running ios 8 GM and I can't update to the public release version.

I get a message that says "This version of pre-release ios will expire in 7 days" What should I do? I am currently running ios 8 GM and I can't update to the public release version. I am stuck in the beta. Itunes will not let me restore my iphone or update it. PLZ HELP ME

Wondering if you have a current Backup on iTunes ...if yes you could put the iPhone in DFU Mode by holding the Home button while you plug in the lightning cable. Then you could Restore the iPhone to Factory Settings on 8.0.2 and after a full Restore go back and then Restore from your Backup. This happens every time a public release occurs. Many folks on the Golden Master or otherwise in the AppleSeed program with a Beta version for some reason don't move to the official release ...then the software time-bomb hits and they can't upgrade.

I downloaded Adobe immigration software for Aperture, opened Lightroom, but the Aperture library was grayed out so it couldn't be selected to import. How do I get it to work? I only have a few days left on the test version of Lightroom to see how it works
