Office for mac 2011 not working correctly on new Macbook Pro- Help

I have a MacBook Pro from September and had One to One transfer all files/programs (including 2008 Office). I then purchased the Office for Mac 2011 program and they installed it (I guess they did not remove the older program). It has never worked correctly and I have tried to contact Microsoft to no avail.
None of the documents open with Fonts intact (Word and Excel open up blank though the graphic elements show up. I have to Select All and choose a font to make it show up.
Powerpoint is barely functional (none of the layouts actually show up when I select them, the sidebar of slides does not update as I type or try to change themese, etc. And then when I type, the program freezes and then shuts down.
I have uninstalled 2008 and 2011 and then re-installed 2011 but the same issues occur. Someone on the microsoft community told me to remove my duplicate fonts, I ddi that and the same issues still occur. My brother has the same laptop and Office for Mac 2011 and no issues.
Can someone help me basically try to start fresh- should I uninstall again? (I waas told that installing/uninstalling too many times can further the problem).
Help!
Thanks,
Bernice

Outlook (office for Mac 2011) not working with Mountain Lion

Ever since I upgaded to mountain lion outlook (office for Mac 2011) takes 2 minutes to start up. Apple support tells me that MSFT has not done its work. SO I don't recommend anybody who is using outlook to upgrade.

Brother Printer HL-5250DN not working with my new MacBook Pro - HELP

Hello there, I just purchased a new MacBook Pro - I've had to use PC (yuck) for work and had an IBook which was great until the dog knocked it off the dresser ...... Anyway, so I've replaced it with the Pro and love it - of course. Except......
My problem is this Brother printer (HL 5250DN) which has been an absolute workhorse, but try as I might I can't get this Pro to print - unless I physically hook it to a USB port and print, which defeats the purpose of having a wireless network allowing me to print from anywhere.....
I have tried suggestions from previous posts (unzipping the gz files - resetting the printer) but still nothing works... Any other suggestions - I'm going nuts here and Brother help line can't seem to give me a solution that works... HELP..... I really want to get going (New Years Resolutions and such) on my new projects and am absolutely grounded with this thing....

Check the Dell website for compatible printer drivers you can download and install.
Once the drivers are installed, open System Preferences > Print & Scan > Print
Then click + to add the printer.

I have an iMac with OS Lion. The Smartart feature for Office for Mac will not work when I am logged on to my personal user account. It works with other user accounts on the same computer, and it works after "safe start". How can I fix the problem?

Lion - 2004 MS Office for Mac will not work

My 2004 version of Microsoft Office for Mac will not work in Lion. I suspect because this is a PowerPC application. My question is this:
Is there any program out there which will map the PowerPC to an Intel format? Other than trying to seel more products, I am surprised that Apple does not supply a mapping program for products made by Microsoft for the Apple devices.

Eric, can you tell me where please? It's not mentioned on the Lion compatibility pages at all. (http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/what-is/compatibility.html) nor on the 'how to upgrade' page (http://www.apple.com/uk/macosx/how-to-buy/)

Trackpad not working on brand new Macbook Pro 15" not retina,

I've just got from UPS my new Macbook Pro 15" not retina. It's the basic model, without upgrades.
I've plugged it in and turned it on to go through the setup assistant, but I had to do it with the keyboard and an external USB mouse, because the internal trackpad is not responding at all. Is it normal?
Thanks!

That was the first thing I did. They told me that it was normal, but I don't believe them. They told me to wait until installation was complete and perform updates, and try after that. That's what I'll do, but I suspect I'll have to have it replaced.
Right now I'm migrating my old mac to this one. I'll update as soon as migration is complete.

Lync for mac 2011 not working in corporate LAN

Hi guys,
I have a mac client that has newest version 14.0.10 of lync installed. The Mac works on OS X Yosemite
operating system. The problem is that when you connect to corporate LAN, lync never connects and gives
following error:
Sign in to Microsoft Lync failed because the service is not available or you may not be connected to the Internet.
If you share a connection via mobile or connect via outside network, you are able to log in and lync functions properly
I have tried to update root certificate on mac via copying one from windows client, but with no luck.

Hi Itseeker1,
As ErikHMac stated, the new version of Lync for Mac 14.0.11 has been released, you can install it and check if the issue is solved.
I know you have installed the root certificate on Mac, but please check it again and make sure the certificate is issued by an Enterprise Certificate Authority (Internal CA) and
also should be trusted by the Lync Server.
In addition, it looks like an Internet connectivity issue, please try to flush the DNS cache by running the following command.
dscacheutil -flushcache
Hope it can be helpful.
Best regards,
Eric

Mac installer not working 10.7.4 Macbook Pro

My mac installer is not working ever time I try to install something I get an error message saying: this problem all started about 3 months ago when I installed osx lion

I bet the installers are already downloaded. If not download it manually on the apple site. after that try PRAM . Restart Mac, when the screen goes black and press & hold option - command -R -P and release after 3 boot tones. Then after the restart disconnect from the net and make sure the date (year) is still 2011 and install the softwares.

Mac mouse stop working properly on new macbook pro

Since recently purchasing a new 13" Macbook Pro my mac mouse is not scrolling properly or responding to any gestures. I have tried almost every possible fix without success. Can anyone help, pleeeease. This is very frustrating. Feel like throwing this apparently useless mouse out and buying a non-Apple unit instead.

Try resetting rthe PRAM.
By the way, "I have tried almost every possible fix without success" is not useful information. Without knowing what you tried, you will probably get a lot of useless information.

CD/DVD drive suddenly not working on brand new macbook pro?

I have a BRAND NEW 15" macbook pro, was ripping some commercial cd's into my itunes, when the computer , suddenly stopped recognizing them at all, they dont even show up on the desktop . It ejects them fine. What is the deal? Is the cd dvd reader defective? Please advise...

Firstly, try resetting PRAM…
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
Failing that, insert a DVD and see if it works. If it does then I would contact AppleCare as this would most likely mean you have a failed CD laser (it's different to the DVD laser).

My ipod classic wont work with my new macbook pro?, My ipod classic wont work with my new macbook pro?

My ipod classic, (that I've previously used on another mac), is not working on my new Macbook Pro?? I've had all my music transered to my new Macbook, but can't upload anything onto my ipod :-(

When I tried the headsets again, they all work. I didn't have one of them plugged in far enough. I guess didn't want to breakanything. Thanks for your reply. All fixed!!
