My Macbook Pro and Microsoft Office 2004?

My Macbook Pro suddenly gives me an error that the application suddenly quits when I try to open Microsoft Office 2004. I tried to delete and reinstall the program, but I get the same error message. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Anne

Sorry, bad news. You've been infected by the Flashback Trojan Horse. For details and how to disable it, see

as well as numerous recent threads in this forum.
Note that my opinion is that the best solution is to erase the disk, re-install the OS, and restore your stuff from a backup prior to the date of infection. Others think that this is too much; it's up to you to decide.
After you've dealt with it, remember to update your system software, and, for better security, turn off Java in all your browsers. And remember to change your passwords in all your on-line accounts or sites you've accessed, this forum included.

Can anyone please help me I really need these programs for my work. Thank you!

    hi tuggerose
    i think it is bad new for you. if it's any consilation i went through the same thing when i loaded mountain lion when it first came out. i think the problem is that mountain lion is a pure 64bit operating system and the software you have is 32bit. earlier os's were able to emulate 32bit but the new system does not. the answer is new software. i did it and it cost me a load of money and much angst so your not alone.

  • Can a MacBook Pro with Microsoft Office 2008 accept a Windows USB drive?

    Can a MacBook Pro with Microsoft Office 2008 accept a Windows USB drive?

    You can hook up an USB drive formatted as FAT32 or NTFS(read-only), but it can't read exFAT drives or boot Windows from an USB drive.

  • Migration manager with Adobe CS2 and Microsoft Office 2004

    I had already downloaded my academic copy of office 2008 as soon as I opened the computer. To my total aggravation, it too had the stupid ribbon format that office 2007 has on the pc version. Then to my total surprise when I used the migration manager, it moved all my old programs over from my macbook running 10.4.11. This included office 2004. It seems to operate just fine, but am worried about when I end up opening documents from an email or something that it will end up opening in 2008 instead. Also, when it moved my Adobe CS2 it said some type of error message about color matching. That seems to be the case in the color sliders at least, the colors don't look right, but the images seem fine when they open. Any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!

    am worried about when I end up opening documents from an email or something that it will end up opening in 2008 instead.
    Find a document you would normally open with Office 2004, and use the menu in the Finder to 'Get Info'.
    In that window, you have an option to dictate which program to always open that file type with, and to apply that choice to all similar files.
    Make the change and close that window.

  • How do I resolve a confict between Acrobat X Pro and Microsoft Office 2010 running on a W7 Pro 32bit

    After I use Acrobat X Pro, and particularly if I have Acrobat X Pro running, the Microsoft Office 2010 programs (Outlook, Excel and Word) become very unstable.
    Outlook has a real tendency to crash when I try to add a file attachment to an email.
    Word gets mad while trying to find files across a local network.
    and Excel almost always crashed while shutting down (the Excel program).
    The problem is getting worse (more frequent crashes) as time goes by.
    I am not "pointing the finger" at any specific software. I'm just looking for some things to try to resolve my problem with my setup.
    If this is the wrong forum for this question I humbly beg your forgiveness (providing you give me a suggestion as to where I should go for help).

    I'm having the exact issues, I guess adobe does not monitor these forum and assist their customers.

  • How compatible is Lion with Photoshop CS5 and Microsoft Office 2004?

    I can't see myself buying Lion, until I am reassured that it can be used with these applications. If not, Lion is a very expensive upgrade.

    Adobe Photoshop CS5 is listed here http://roaringapps.com/apps:table as working.

  • Macbookpro & Microsoft Office 2004-Entourage shutting down

    I have a 4 year old Macbook Pro running Microsoft Office 2004. Entourage started shutting down about 3 weeks ago when I would click on certain emails in both inbox and junk folder (spam emails mostly). I have latest patches, have you heard of this before?
    Is there a fix?

    Sometimes Entourage's database would corrupt.  Sometimes you can't fix its corruption.  But you can try with the Entourage Database repair utility in your Microsoft Office folder in the Applications folder.  If it won't repair, hopefully you backed up your data before it last got damaged.  The database file, is in your Hard drive -> Users -> yourname -> Documents -> Microsoft Office Data folder, if you want to dig it out from a backup and try an older version of it.  Be sure not to overwrite your old one, unless you don't mind risking losing some e-mail, contact and calendar entries.

  • AppleWorks 6 and Microsoft Office in Mavericks?

    I want to upgrade my 13" MacBook Air from OS 10.6.8 to Mavericks, but I need to continue using AppleWorks 6.2.9 and Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac.  How can this be accomplished?

    Neither will work in any version of OS X after Snow Leopard.
    Office 2004 and Other Applications Don't Work in Lion/Mountain Lion
    If you have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite, it will not work in Lion/Mountain Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion/Mountain Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    As for other software, any PPC-based software will not run in Lion or Mountain Lion because Rosetta is no longer part of OS X. You will need to upgrade to Intel versions of the software.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • I bought and downloaded iWork when i bought my macbook pro and i used to save my documents on words. then a few weeks ago, i downloaded a free trial of microsoft office but unregistered and deleted it a week after. now i can't save my documents on word.

    i bought and downloaded iWork when i bought my macbook pro and i used to save my documents on words. then a few weeks ago, i downloaded a free trial of microsoft office but unregistered and deleted it a week after. now i can't save my documents on word. It used to ask me if I want to save my documents on word, now it doesn't. And the W icon keeps on appearing on my dock. Can I return my computer to an earlier date? Please help me. Thanks

    No, I don't have a back-up of TIme Machine... to tell you the truth, I have this computer for a few years now and I still don't know how to work all of the apps that are here. Anything else I can do?

  • Can i use microsoft office on my macbook pro and from where should i download it?

    can i use microsoft office on my macbook pro and from where should i download it?

    I don't use Office myself so can't really offer advice. I don't recall seeing your issue before. Maybe someone who uses Office will be able to help.
    As this thread is marked as solved it won't get the attention your query warrants. It would be a good idea to start your own thread discussing the problem - I'm sure someone here will offer the right advice/help.
    Make sure you note what Mac your have and what version of OS X you are running.

  • I have an iMac with Microsoft Office and an HD - Time Machine. I'm buying a MacBook Pro and I want to know that if I use the Time Machine to transfer all my stuff the Microsof Office will work or if I need to reinstall it with another licence ?

    I have an iMac with Microsoft Office (and several other licenced softs) and an HD - Time Machine that backup all the stuff. I'm buying a MacBook Pro and I would to know that if I use the Time Machine to transfer all my stuff, the Microsof Office will work normally or if I need to reinstall it with another licence?

    You do not need a new license. The license file will be found in /Library/Preferences/ and is named, com.microsoft.office.licensing.plist. Be sure it gets transferred and you will be fine. I see no reason why the file would not be in your Time Machine backup nor any reason why it would be restored.
    Please visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine. You may need help figuring out how to restore your current backup to a new machine.

  • MacBook Pro 2011- Allowed updates to install for iTunes software and Microsoft office (I think).  After rebooting, computer wouldn't progress past grey apple screen with loading circle.

    I have a MacBook Pro 2011.  I allowed updates to install for iTunes software and Microsoft office (I think).  After rebooting, computer wouldn't progress past grey apple screen with loading circle.  No progression bar ever appeared.  It just sits and spins.  I tried rebooting with Command + Option + R + P and hearing the chime twice....this did not work.
    I also tried Command +Option+R which took me to internet recovery.  From there, I chose reinstall Mac OS X Lion 10.7 but it says my hard drive is locked so I wasnt able to select it.  What do I do???? Help!  I don't want to lose my files and it doesnt appear that I've used Time Machine Back Up.

    I you upgraded to OS X 10.8, then use RecoveryHD by holding Command R at boot time (no option) and reinstall OS X over itself that way so your installing  Mountain Lion.
    Also Disk Uility can be used to Repair the Macintosh HD parttion.
    Also you can use that RecoveryHD to format and install OS X onto a external drive, then option/alt key boot from it and access your files on the non-booting internal drive before erasing, reformatting and reinstalling OS X fresh.
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive

    I have a new MacBook Pro and need to know what I need to do to open Microsoft Office files?

    Use a product such as OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Google Docs, iWork, or Microsoft Office 2008 or newer. In the case of Word documents, you can also use TextEdit.

    You will more than likely need to re-install CS6 after the upgrade, so you might as well uninstall first. Be sure you have your serial number(s) before upgrading or uninstalling CS6..
    As for Microsoft Office, I'm not sure.
