Office 2004 installation

I can't seem to install Office. When I run it, after the 4th step, it tells me that I have to be authorised and make sure the disc is in the drive, as the installation has stopped. What is going on? I am the administrator and am very frustrated because I just bought this new iMac

If you have any Antivirus software installed on your Mac, you have to disable it or uninstall it, in order to install Office 2004. I tried drag and drop, but it didn't worked for me. After uninstallation of my Symantec AV, I could use the Installation Guide without any problems.

  • Installing Office 2004 - installer quiting

    OK - I tried to uninstall the test drive version prior to installing Office 2004. I used the Remove utility and it did not detect any versions of Office....so I just dropped the complete folder in the trash and emptied it.
    Now, trying to install, I select the Installer Assistant...it runs for about 10 seconds and then quite...disapears from the dock.
    I re-ran the uninstaller from the CD and still will not work.
    Looking for a bone.
    Thanks

    To elaborate...after dragging the folder, when I open an app, like Word, it bounces in the dock for about 5-seconds and then disapears. Nothing will open.

    Morning Donald, is what I figured too.
    If you can find it, goto the Perian PrefPane and select uninstall to see if that gets rid of the problem.
    You can always d/l it again.
    I did will report back.
    BTW do you know what other programmes use Perian?

  • Microsoft office 2004 for mac installation problem

    Hi there,
    I initially download the microsoft office 2004 trial. I bought the student & teacher edition and install it in my macbook. There was a uninstall button on the trial software that I press and I don't know if that removed the trial version. The problem is "this product is license to office 2004 test drive user, my name and product ID number" are all showing initially when you press any of the office 2004 icon. Having the test drive user showing up makes me wonder if the trial version was totally deleted. If the trial version was not deleted, will it slow down the program and how can I remove it without re-installing the full version that I bought.
    Any help is appreciated
    thanks so much

  • Unable to download Office 2004 11.2.3 update

    I keep getting notices from Microsoft that an 11.2.3 update for Office 2004 is available. However, after downloading this patch on my 56K modem twice, at 5 hours a shot and after several broken attempts, when I've then tried to install it on the HD I get an error message that says I "do not have the platform needed to install this program." My OS is 10.3.9, which it should work with.
    I don't understand why 11.2.3 wouldn't consider 10.3.9 acceptable. I've looked at my About Word info to see whether, maybe in an alternate universe, I already downloaded and installed Office 11.2.3, but all it says is that I have Word Version 11.2, which I guess could be anything from 11.2.1 to 11.2.3.
    My questions are:
    (a) Can I find out whether I already have 11.2.3 without knowing it? (In which case I think the error message should say, "You already installed this; what are you, Rip Van Winkle?")
    (b) If--as I deeply believe--I never installed 11.2.3, can anyone tell me why it would refuse to install itself on a platform it's supposed to like?
    (c) Do I really need it anyway? I see from other people's posts that Powerpoint seems to develop problems with 11.2.3, and I use only Word, which has been pretty stable in Office 2004 for Mac and rarely freezes or crashes. So maybe I should resist trying to fix what isn't broken? I would be happy not to have a reason to download 11.2.3, except that I'm afraid I may be missing something important. (Like screwing up Powerpoint.)
    Thanks very much for any suggestions.

    The updates are not cumulative. You need to download
    and install each update from 11.2.1 thru 11.2.3.
    Kappy: I tried downloading and installing 11.2.1, with the plan to download and install the other two if 11.2.1 worked. And the program verified upon completion that the installation was successful. However, when I tried to trash the 11.2.1 installation folder as instructed, I got an error message saying that I "did not have sufficient privileges" for the maneuver, and when I opened Word to see what version of Office 2004 I had now, it just said 11.2, not 11.2.1. So I guess my efforts to keep up with modern technology are doomed after all.
    On the other hand, since I'm a home-office user and the only one using the application (i.e., I'm the Administrator, but not on an Exchange), I guess there's no harm in not having the updates. Since the issues the three patches resolve seem to be mainly Exchange issues, I don't really need them. But I do appreciate the helpful information from you and Bob Gold--thanks very much.

    I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo).  It is currently up to date with Microsoft updates.  I am running Mac OS 10.6.8.  I just updated my Mac software with "Security Update 2012-001".  I am now unable to print (Epson NX510 printer) from Excel or Word.  When I click on the Print menu item in Excel, there is a flash in the background like it is trying to open the print window, but nothing else.  I am able to print from other programs like TextEdit, Mail or KakeidaGraph.  As far as I know I have the latest Epson print driver.
    Also, I am also unable to open an existing Excel or Word file from the open menu - both programs lock up and do not respond.  I have to force quit.  After I restart Excel or Word I can open an existing file by double clicking on the file, but if I again try to open another file from the open menu, Excel or Word lock up.
    Any similar problems?

    Howdy,
    Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
    I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
    You might wish to read:
    http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
    If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
    Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
    Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
    If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
    With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
    If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
    - You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
    - Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
    - Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
    - Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.
    Links for 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1:

  • Office 2004 Wont Reinstall

    To tell it from the beginning. I had a bootcamp partition. I erased the partition because I had wanted to increase it in size. So then when i tried to recreate the bootcamp partition i got errors saying I need to reinstall OS X because some files couldnt be found or moved or something. So I did. I reinstalled my Office 2004 (legal copy and all). and everything ran without problems.
    then i finally decided to print something and i got the error that many people seem to have gotten. the solution they were given was to deleted this xerox or another plugin. i navigated to that correct folder and i had no such plugin (but i did this after uninstalling office 2004 because i was unaware of it). I know that other programs, like firefox, can print with this printer so its definitely something with word.
    so then, after uninstalling it ive tried to reinstall it but the install wizard will not run. the icon will appear along the dock, hop a little bit, and then disappear and nothing will happen. since that wouldnt work, i manually coppied the files to my app folder and upon trying to open any program, had the same problem. the program would appear in the dock, hop for a few seconds then dissappear. i have searched with spoltlight and deleted ever office 2004 file on my computer but still no luck.
    as a side night, a few days ago, before i encountered my printer problem (which might just be because i had yet to print anything in office programs) i installed fink and darwin ports. i have no idea how to remove anything that they may have done so they may be the cause.
    any thoughts? thanks. i really need this back up and running for school.

    Since Office is not an Apple product. You'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.mac.office> rather than an Apple forum that focuses on the installation of OS X.
    Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

  • IMac G5 no longer able to use Microsoft Office 2004

    I have had Microsoft Office 2004 installed on my G5 for several years but I am not able to access any of the Microsoft applications anymore. I get the following message when trying any of the Office applications: "Microsoft (Entourage, or whatever) has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." It provides an error report that can be sent to Microsoft which I have done several times.
    I did a verify using the installed disk utility app and received the following message: "Volume bit map needs minor repair Macintosh HD" "Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit" "1 HFS volume checked" "Volume needs repair."
    The installed Disk Utility doesn't allow me to click on REPAIR. I have 118 GB available. If I use the Disk Utility on the install disk will it allow me to do a REPAIR to the HD and can I mess up anything else?
    Any help I can get will be appreciated. I have some important stuff on Word that I would hate to lose.
    Thanks in advance for any help offered.

    In order for Disk Utility to work, it has to be on a differnet disk than the internal drive:
    Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    Then reboot from your internal drive and repair permissions.
    It will not mess up any of your data.

  • Office 2004 Install and Photoshop Elements

    Please forgive my total NOOB inquiry especially since I am an experienced Linux user. I have attempted to install Office 2004 onto a 1 month old MacBook. The disc mounts, I open it, and double click the Office setup assistant. The result every time is that Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 opens, and eventually fails with a can not open the file error. Why is Photoshop elements trying to open it? I also tried copying the entire Office folder to the applications folder (just to see what happens). When then trying to launch the individual Office apps, Photoshop Elements again launches. Please advise. I have googled this to death and found no one with a similar problem. Thx

    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   2 Ghz Duo

    I have basically the same assumption on file
    associations with PhotoShop Elements. I'm
    investigating two paths right now:
    1. How to keep PhotoShop Elements from trying to
    open this file type, even though it has no file
    extension. I have yet to find where these file
    associations are made. Time to read the manual. Is
    it done through the App, or OS?
    I think it would have to be the OS, but I don't know how you would make use of that info. The only way I know of is to examine thru the Get Info window. If you do a Get Info on the setup assistant, does it have the Open With section? If it knows it's an app, it doesn't even show that section. If it does have that section, it should let you change it from Elements to something else. You may also be able to uncheck the Hide Extension checkbox and see what extension it has.
    2. I'm going to borrow someone else's Office 2004
    install disc to see if the installer auto-launches
    after mounting and double clicking on the disc. I've
    found it odd that my current install disc doesn't
    launch. Maybe, just maybe, I have a damaged disc.
    Worth a shot.
    Yes. I have Office v.X installed, not 2004. And I just copied it from my old Mac; it's been forever since I used an Office installer disc.

  • Problems Installing Microsoft Office 2004 on 10.4.3!

    Hi all,
    A friend of mine just purchased 10.4.3 from the Apple Store for use with his G5 (the original single 1.8). My friend is not very skilled with computers, so I have been helping him get 10.4 running.
    • We wrote zeros to his hard drive.
    • We then did a fresh installation.
    • We then ran software update.
    • Apps like Photoshop Elements have installed without problems.
    Microsoft Office 2004 (Student and Teacher) will not install using the installer or drag-and-drop.
    • The installer finishes but the Office 2004 apps are not on the Hard Drive!
    • Drag-and-Drop encounters an error (-36 I think) and stops installing.
    Obviously, my friend is disappointed that Office will not install on a fresh OS - Please help!

    Hi all,
    Templeton Peck may have been correct after all! I just got this message from Microsoft Support moments ago:
    Thank you for requesting support for Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac. My name is Mike and I will be working with you to resolve this issue.
    As I Understand you are Recieving an Error when installing Office 2004, which is not allowing you to Complete the installation.
    With Error 36 There is only one thing to do, you will need to contact our Replacment Product Department for a new disc, you can contact them by calling 1-800-360-7561
    Please let me know if this resolves your issue.
    Thank you for using Microsoft Technical Support...
    I guess I'll give a new disk a try -- I'll report back once I've tried that. :~)

  • New Mac Mini + Office 2004 Test Drive

    Hi everyone. Not sure if this is the correct place to post this question, but I'll give it a shot...
    I bought a new Mac Mini a few weeks ago. I just downloaded a Word document from my e-mail and it opened up Office 2004 Test Drive automatically... I agreed to the User Agreement, opened up my Word document, yada yada...
    Now, however, it bugs me that this is trial software and I have 30 days to evaluate it. Thing is I actually own Office 2004 and just never got around to installing it on my Mac Mini yet...
    So what is the proper way to install it? Do I need to remove Office Test Drive 2004 first, or do I just run the installer off the Office 2004 DVD? What are the proper steps I need to take?
    Thank you,
    Keith

    Remove MS Office Test Drive
    On your hard disk, open Microsoft Office 2004 folder that contains the Test Drive. Any documents you saved in the Microsoft Office 2004 Test Drive should be moved somewhere in your documents folder.
    In the Microsoft Office 2004 folder, double-click "Remove Office". In the Results window, choose Microsoft Office 2004 (including Test Drive) and then click "continue" and follow the prompts.

  • Templates from Office 2004

    Can I move my templates created in MS Word into my Pages '08 template folder?????
    I have several templates I would prefer to save and not recreate again. \
    Perhaps there is a better path I should follow to covert the MS Word templates over to Pages????
    Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.
    thanks
    Cletus/
    MBP 2.16 GHz C2D, 2GB RAM, 160HD

    In my installation of Office 2004, none of the templates have an extension. I found that Pages doesn't recognize them as Word without it. Once I added the .doc extension, Pages was able to open the files. I wrote a user tip awhile back for AppleWorks that explains how to use AppleScript to add extensions to whole folders of files at one time. It came in very handy adding the .doc to all of those Word templates.
    Also, if you have, download or receive any Word templates with the .dot extension, just change the extension to .doc & Pages will open them.

  • Problem office 2004

    Hello
    I have a problem with installing office 2004 for mac. When i try to install office the installer crashes. I have tried to delete office file's but i couldn't find older office files.
    thanks

    Xpower,
    Might be worth a try to Repair Permissions.
    Start /Utilities/Disk Utility. Select your HD Icon that's displayed, lick on the Disk First Aid tab, and click on "Repair Disk Permissions."
    It will probably tell you that it will take only 1 minute. It actually will take between 5 and 15 minutes, and maybe longer. If you get concerned, just start Activity Monitor, and click on the "cpu" column to see if anything's going on in the background (it should be loading a database and then checking your system).
    After you've run the Repair Permissions, try to install Office 2004.

  • Reinstalling fonts in microsoft office 2004

    Hi there -
    I recently bought an iBook G4, OS X 10.4.3. I installed Microsoft Office 2004 (which I had on my iMac G3, OS X 10.3.9)
    Following the installation, the first time I opened the Office applications, an error message appeared stating that several fonts were corrupt and should be deleted (this had not happened on the iMac.)
    I deleted these fonts in Applications/Office/Fonts.
    Since then have been able to use Office 2004 without issue, albeit it without the said fonts. As the fonts were only deleted from Office fonts, they are available in other Applications such as Mail.
    I would like to reinstall these fonts in Office. Is that possible? If so, how?
    Apologies if there have been similar posts, but my search of topics did not turn up specific enough answers...
    Thanks for your help, caroline

    I've had a similar problem -- dozens of fonts that I had installed in my font library (luckily I had isolated them in their own folders) were recognized as "corrupt" by my Microsoft Office 2004 software. I pulled them from my font library and dragged them onto my desktop, then restarted. That solves the problem for my Office apps, but I need these fonts when I work in my Adobe CS2 files. Right now, to access those fonts, I have to close my Office apps, drag the fonts back into my font library, then restart my computer. To use Office, I have to reverse the procedure. Any suggestions on how to keep the fonts in my main font library, but make them inaccessible to Office?

  • Office 2004 Update

    Hi
    Software update has told me that I have updates waiting for Office 2004. I tried to install them however after the software downloads, the system looks for compatible software and then tells me that there is no compatible software that can be found and that I should read the readme file. I have a legally purchased copy of office 04 that's running and i have read the readme file and everything looks legit. Any ideas?
    thanks!!

    I've followed this thread and followed all the advice, but to no avail. I had the same problem. "The installer could not locate the correct version of the software required to install this update. See the Read Me file included with this installer to determine if your software meets the requirements for this update."
    I reinstalled Office 2004 and then attempted to download and install the previous updates 11.2.0 and got the same message. The previous install had accepted 11.2.0, and I am now back at 11.0. Also, when I now activate Word, I get an error message "An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library." However, after clicking the OK button on this message, I can proceed and use Word normally.
    Anyone with any ideas?
