Office: mac 2004 is not supported. What should I do?

I have just installed Lion, but now I find all my Office documents are 'translated' into Pages. I really need Office. What should I do?

Update to Office 2011 is the best option. 2004 Is no longer supported.

  • My Microsoft Word 2004 is not supported..should I upgrade to 2011?

    I can not open my Microsoft Office 2004  since Lion does not support it. Can I upgrade to Mocrosoft office 2011?

    It is worth noting, however, that if you use Entourage in Office 2004 you will NOT be able to import messages into Office 2011 running on Lion. This is because Office 2011 must be able to run Entourage in order to import the messages. So you must upgrade to Office 2011 on Snow Leopard first, and then upgrade to Lion.

  • I have MBP 13 late 2011:Will it be able to support a 3tb hardisk?Secondly, if i delete a song from itunes,is that song removed from the mac and is the space freed up?If not then what should I do to free up space when i delete songs from itunes?

    Your MBP will support a 3T HDD provided it is formatted correctly and has sufficient power.  Most large HDDs require an outboard power source.
    When you delete songs from iTunes you will get a message if you want to send it to trash.  If you send it to trash, space will be freed up only when you empty trash.  An individual song does not consume much space so if your HDD is becoming full, more drastic action s should be considered, such as moving an entire file to an external HDD.

  • Why Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 does not support Arabic and persian?

    Why Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 does not support Arabic and persian

    For Arabic/Persian on  a Mac, the best app is Mellel.  But TextEdit, Nisus Writer, or OpenOffice should also work OK.

    There's no need to go to the store if you don't want to. You can purchase and download the new version from the Parallels web site. In fact if you want to try it out, I believe you can do the download and get a two week trial version. Later you can purchase the serial number to make it official.
    I cannot be certain about your data, but I did not lose anything when I updated to Lion and faced a similar situation.
    Best of luck.

  • Can I use Office:Mac 2004 with my new MacBook Pro

    I just got a brand new MacBook Pro, and I'm trying to install my office:mac 2004 edition, but it seems to not be working. Do I have to repurchace office:mac or can I just upgrade. 

    The 2004 version of Office will not work on Mac OS X Lion (10.7) or Mountain Lion (10.8) because it uses Power PC code. Power PC support was dropped in Lion and later. Version 2008 or 2011 should work fine.

  • Installing Microsoft Office:mac 2004 Student and Teacher Edition

    I am trying to install Microsoft Office:mac 2004 student and teacher edition.
    I don't know how to achieve this.
    I have tried the Office Setup Assistant but it says "You can't open the application "Office Setup Assistant" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
    So, I assume I have to do the "Drag the Microsoft Office 2004 folder to your hard disk to install all Office components" option.
    Being very new to iMac, my question is, "Where exactly do I drag it to?  Which icon along the bottom or should it go somewhere else?
    Any help would be great
    Thanks

    It will not work with Mountain Lion. You need Office 2011 for OS X.
    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.)

  • 2009 MacBook pro 13 with OSX 10.9.1 -- Office:Mac 2004 ?

    I just bought a used MacBook Pro with a fresh install of mavericks and
    I have an old copy of Office:Mac 2004 student and teacher edition.  Should I install it?
    I have one more product key on this disc and want a basic word processor.  Leary of the MS product.

    No. It won't work.

  • Is there a way to install office:mac 2004 on 10.9.2

    I have a macbook pro osx 10.9.2    2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo   2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3....never used it til now...my VAIO was just stolen...I have a student version of office:mac 2004 never installed before...is there a way to use it? (says it's not supported)  I tried to load OPEN OFFICE and used it to type a few letters...but it completely disappeared from the computer when I i used the computer next time???  I need to do simple word processing?????  Help!

    jacksax --
    That version of Office is too old to work on 10.9.  (or 10.8 and possibly 10.7).
    When you "tried to load" Open Office, did you actuallly install it?  To do that, you drop it inside of the Applications folder on your hard drive.  It could be that you just used it from the desktop, and didn't actually install it.
    To make sure it's not there, click anywhere on desktop, and press the Command key along with the letter " f " key.
    In the resulting pane, type in OpenOffice.  Are there any results?

  • I'm using macbook and i want to upload videos in vimeo, they informed me that safari 5.1 is no longer supported. what should i do? please advice, thank you!

    i'm using macbook and i want to upload videos in vimeo, they informed me that safari 5.1 is no longer supported. what should i do? please advice, thank you!

    If there is an indication of minimum specification in browser support, flash player plugin or other limits that have recently been changed, those should be available from Vimeo support.
    The expectation of several things to be continued in an older OS X such as Leopard 10.5.8, has been showing its age and various browsers supporting that system online are fewer now. Safari has no upgrade version for this old of OS X. You may be able to use a different web browser to see if it would work.
    There may be a later version of Flash that could work, or maybe not. A few browsers may do OK, I have a version of SeaMonkey (not the PPC version) in my MacBook1.1, running in Leopard 10.5.8. The last version of FireFox is no longer updated, but I have that too. The iCab browser (shareware) may do OK, you can test it since it runs freely w/o license.
    For overall better web experience, you may need to look into the MacBook specifications and consider an upgrade to both the OS X system (buy/install retail Snow Leopard 10.6 DVD -- then download Combo Update 10.6.8 v1.1) and see if the computer can support more chip RAM installed. Of course if the hard disk drive is running full, make an external archive of your created content and a backup before considering upgrading the OS X and any applications.
    With Snow Leopard 10.6.8, you have better browser support, newer Flash player plugin, and a few features that may be better for your overall experience with the MacBook. However it may ask for more resources than a basic Leopard 10.5.8 system, generally most reviews appear to be good. I have a MacBook1.1 (mid-2006) coreduo 1.83GHz model; it can run Snow Leopard 10.6.8 as a last upgrade & nothing further for mine.
    While OS X 10.6.8 is a portal to attempt further OS X upgrades via Mac App Store, etc, the hardware of the early older MacBook may find better usefulness left at Snow Leopard. If you have several older applications written for PPC hardware (they run under Rosetta, an option in Snow Leopard no longer available after it) you may choose to keep the upgrade path at OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard even if there is a hint your MacBook could be upgraded to, say, Lion 10.7.5. You'd lose support for older applications not written to Universal or PPC.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • HT1338 office mac 2004 download issues onto iMac

    I traded my macbook for an iMac and am having a problem downloading my office mac 2004 to my new computer. I have the product keys.

    What will work depends on what you want to do.
    A) Do you need Mountain Lion (10.8.x). That is, do you have newer software which will not in Snow Leopard (10.6.x) and you had to upgrade to a newer version of OS X. This would include iCloud, which only exists for Lion (10.7.x) or Mountain Lion.
    B) You have no real need to upgrade to Mountain Lion.
    If A, then:
    1) As MlchaelLAX suggests, you can run Snow Leopard Server in a virtual machine such as Parallels or VMWare. Apple is currently selling Snow Leopard Server for only $20 to accommodate users who must maintain the use of older PowerPC software. Once you have the VM software installed, you then install SL Server within the VM. The end result is you have two versions of OS X running at the same time. Mountain Lion as the host OS, and Snow Leopard in the VM. You can then install Office 2004 within the VM under SL Server.
    Be aware of cost and time. The cost of Parallels and SL Server isn't going to be all that much less than just upgrading to Office 2011. Be aware there are two versions. The more expensive Office 2011 Business Edition includes Outlook (replaces Entourage). The Home/Student version does not.
    If B, then:
    Restore your last backup to put your Mac back to Snow Leopard and leave it there. If you don't have a backup, you'll need to first backup any files you cannot lose, since reinstalling Snow Leopard will require erasing the drive.

  • I have lost my cd's and screen became gray i can not boot what should i do?

    Hi all
    i have lost my cd's and screen became gray i can not boot what should i do?
    i have tried to reset Vram
    tried to run safe boot
    but nothing happends
    i have a macbook pro core 2 duo 2GB ram 160 gb hard disk

    Use the computer your on now to download and burn a ISO of PartedMagic to a cd.
    In Windows 7 you can right click on the downloaded ISO and click burn to disk, other Windows versions use the free ImgBurn software.
    In OS X you can burn the ISO using Disk Utility.
    Hook up a external drive to the target Mac.
    Stick the PartedMagic disk into the Mac and reboot holding option and c keys (I forget which one works)
    Use the first option (default) to load PartedMagic into memory (watch out the disk will eject!)
    Once in PartedMagic there is a Mount Drive icon on the right, doubleclick it twice to open two windows (three total) you can now transfer your files after mounting the disks/partitions using the two open file windows.
    Unmount the drives before using the "Start" like menu in the lower left corner to quit PartedMagic.
    If your Mac works with all this then your in good shape, you just have a hosed operating system and a $29 Snow Leopard install disk (c boot off of it) and a Disk Utility Erase (with Zero Erase preferred) and a reinstall of OSX Snow leopard will do the trick.
    If your computer boots off the PartedMagic cd, but you can't find/access the internal drive, then your boot drive is dead and you need to replace it or have someone replace it for you.
    If your computer doesn't boot off the PartedMagic cd, then it's likely a serious hardware issue.

    If you use Windows program to partition the Hard Drive, the Apple partition gets destroyed.
