    Try to edit the size of the page using the sides of the page, or if you are desperate, force quit using command-Q. In full screen put your cursor on the top of the page, and the menu bar will appear. If it doesn't keep "pushing" it up until it does. Hope this helps!

  • Can Anyone Recommend Books About Mac and Tiger?

    Hello,
    I'm heading back to the homeland for a short visit in a week's time. I'd like to buy a book that can explain a few things about Tiger so I don't always have to visit the Apple Store and bother the Geniuses there.
    Can anyone recommend any good books about Mac and Tiger? I know of "Mac For Dummies" but I've never been a big fan of that series. Cheers and thanks.

    Hi, jasperboy.
    My "Learning About Mac OS X" FAQ has a number of resources that you will find helpful including books, online training, and more.
    Good luck!

  • Office:Mac and Corrupted Fonts

    I have installed the office:mac 2004 version but when I try to open any of office applications while trying to optimize font menu performance, I get a message saying xyz font is corrupt and needs to be deleted. Seems like many fonts needs to be deleted.
    So I called Microsoft help desk. She asked me to disable all fonts and restart my computer. After the restart now my office applications are working but my entire 235 fonts are disabled.
    My computer is a G4 with 10.4.4 operating system. I also have system nine running.
    Could anyone help me solve this issue?
    Thank you in advance.

    Yes, that is a puzzle. Perhaps your problem lies elsewhere. Try the following:
    Boot from your Tiger DVD. After the installer loads select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your OS X volume from the list on the left, click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now shutdown the computer for a couple of minutes and then restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (3.0.3 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.1.1 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    If that does not help, then you may have a corrupted font cache and/or preference files. The following may prove helpful:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=607542&#607542.
    You can also download one of the several utilities used to perform maintenance and use it to clear the font caches. I recommend Tinkertool System, but there are others from which to choose. You will find them all at www.versiontracker.com.

  • Problems with MS Office 2007 and Tiger Server

    I have an Xserve hosting file services for Macs and PCs. There is a RAID attached to the Xserve storing user data and ACLs are enabled. Since installing Office 2007 on the PCs there's been the following problem which can be replicated -
    When saving an Excel or Word document back in the 2007 suite to the Xserve, the user will be unable to save the document if it is saved back for the third time. In Excel 'Unable to save document is reported'. In Word the document can't be saved due to a network error or a file permision problem being reported.
    The above is true for existing documents created in Excel or Word 2003, then saved in 2007 versions, which are on the Server, or for documents created using Excel or Word 2007.
    Users are logging on with different user accounts. They first log on to a Windows domain hosted by a Small Business Server then a drive has been mapped on their PC, to give thme access to the Xserve.
    As I said things were OK until Office 2007 was installed on the PCs.

    I'm having the same issue, allowing guest access on the share did change the logs I'm getting in Samba. Earlier on it was giving errors on the inability of guest access to the share.

    I also noticed that the temporary file that is created by office is not removed after the attempt to safe the file. (something like: ~$filename).

  • Office Mac and ICloud

    I am using Office Mac 2011 and want to know if the Excel spreadsheets and Word documents are compatible with ICloud?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I have been able to sync them with iCloud, but I believe a small number of users have encountered difficulties. Also note that as there is no office for iPad, the documents are converted and opened in Pages or numbers on mobile devices.
    There are no problems syncing any type of documents between Macs only using iCloud.

  • Office 2004 and Tiger 10.4.6 autoupdate issue

    Anyone who is using autoupdate in Microsoft Office:
    After installing office 2004 on a Powerbook G4 running 10.4.6 (updated from 10.4.5), I ran the autoupdate function in office, it pulled in autoupdater 1.1.2. After running update again, I get "The Application "Mircosoft AutoUpdate.app" cannot be launched.
    -10661
    Can anyone who has 10.4.6 installed try the autoupdate function in Office 2004 and see if it works?
    any ideas?

    Hold off on the 11.2.3 update. It is being said that it is seriously flawed. My own experience is that I wished I never did it. Entourage is close to completely unusable with no way to revert since the update alters the database.
    Other problems with the other apps are being reported also.
    Beware.
    Just went to open Entourage and it says that my database is corrupt and I can not use it. That's just "F"ing great. I have had more database issues since updating. DON'T DO IT!

  • I downloaded office Mac and i try to open a document and it doesn't work. it tell me "to create and edit, please activate Word" so i press activate and then it i try to fix it by reinstalling it but it doesn't work

    so what do i do

    If you don't have the 'product key' you won't be able to activate the software. If you are in a pinch you can try downloading directly from Microsoft and using a free trial of office 365. Or you can use any number of free software options such as 'open office' or 'libre office', or 'google docs'; I think they can open word documents.  I would probably go to Outlook.com and make a free email account. You will have access to the free online version of Office (word, powerpoint, excel, and onenote). Good Luck.

  • File sharing trough Leopard Macs and Tiger macs

    Is it not possible to share files via "afp://" when one computer is having Leopard and another is having Tiger or am I just doing something wrong?

    After collecting some traces and fiddling a little, I find I can connect to the OS 9 host from the Leopard client if I simply enter the relevant IP address in the connection request. What I can't seem to do is get Leopard to use NBP to find out this information, given the OS 9 host's 'Appletalk name'.
    So it would seem that Leopard (the way I have it 'configured' at least) is not making 'full use' of AppleTalk protocols—either to resolve names or to advertise its presence. Does anyone know if this is just a configuration option that I've overlooked, or something deeper than this?

  • Using MS UAM with Intel Macs and Tiger (10.4.6+)

    I oversee 50 macs in a server environment. The servers are windows server 2003. About 40 of the macs are able to change their network password via the MS UAM. The remaining macs are intel 10.4.6 and above or intel leopard machines.
    Goal: The ability of intel mac users running 10.4.6 and above (leo too) to change their network password.
    Let me be clear about the problem.
    I have no problem connecting to any share / volume on any server. All file sharing is working properly. The only problem I have is that my users cannot change their password that the network requires for authentication. So, when the password expires, they have to go to a windows machine or use a non-Intel Mac. (I am not 100% sure, but I think this is also happening on 10.4.6+ PPC Mac's...correct me if I'm wrong)
    Searching for a solution to this problem was unsuccessful. I found that there is no easy way to get the mac os to use the MS UAM instead of the OS X standard UAM's.
    I came across a couple of articles from 2006 (two years ago) that stated there was no fix for this problem, but that apple was working on it. I am starting this thread to renew the subject matter. Does anyone know of a fix for this problem yet? Has Apple stated awareness that the problem exists? Has Apple stated that a fix is in the works?
    Please HELP!!!

    We have the same problem here --- a high school of mostly Mac clients and only Window Servers.
    Hate to think that everyone has to be funneled to an older Mac or a PC in order to do password changes.
    I searched <http://www.mactopia.com> about this only to be further 'scared' by what William Smith of Microsoft says in <http://www.officeformac.com/.ee9b2bd>:
    -----You should really consider using some third party software. Mac OS X 10.4
    -----and higher use AFP 3.2, which has some incompatibilities with AFP 2.2.
    -----Microsoft is not planning to update Windows Server with AFP 3.2 but
    -----will instead remove File Services for Macintosh altogether after Windows Server 2003.
    -----Look into Group Logic's ExtremeZ-IP http://www.grouplogic.com or
    -----Thursby's Dave or ADmitMac http://www.thursby.com.
    -----Hope this helps!
    -----bill
    ----William M. Smith, Microsoft Interop MVP - Mac/Windows
    Note the: 'will instead remove File Services for Macintosh altogether after WindowsServer 2003.'
    That will make things even worse for those of us with Mac clients and Window Servers.

  • Safari won't quit, so I can't install Office Mac.

    Hey guys. I got my new Office Mac, and I was hoping to install it. It said Firefox and Safari needed to close. Firefox was a snap (good job guys!), but Safari is doing HORRIBLE. It is not forcing to quit at all, and I don't want to restart or shut down (I bet it wouldn't work.) Now, according to THIS issue... I can't install my Mac Office 2011, and THAT on the other hand stinks, because I need it for school projects.
    Is anyone willing to offer advice??? Thanks!!!
    ~AppleFan17

    You say even force quitting won't work? When Safari is open hold down Option + ⌘ + Q.

  • Office:Mac '08 Crash in Word after adding pictures

    I have documents that are text and photos - some pdf and some jpeg. I have been using the same template for 2 years.
    All of a sudden, I can edit the text and save the document normally, but if I add a PDF, the next time I try to save the document, Office:Mac crashes.
    I have reinstalled Office:Mac and my computer is updated. Anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

    Just reinstall Office. Use the uninstaller in the MS Office folder to remove the corrupt preference files that are creating the crashes. And, iMacRDQ has the right idea. Pages is a much better app. Actually, the whole iWork suite is much better than MS Office.
    A little note about repairing permissions: It is only applicable for Apple software and not for third party stuff, especially anything made by 'that other company'.

    I've had MS Office:mac 2011 on my imac for around 18 months now.  Outlook has just disappeared and when I find the file and open it it tells me that there is a problem and I may need to re-install it.  I've just done this using the installation disc which, then said the installation had been successful.
    Outlook is still not working.  Can anyone please advise me on what to do next.

    Remove MS Office 2011 completely (here are instructions) and reinstall it.
    It's not a simple or fast process but it is important to follow all of the steps in order to get all the files that Office scatters around. This will not affect your data files, only MS Office and its preferences.

  • When will the ACROBAT PDF function work again for Office 2011 for MAC and PC?

    HELP!!!!
    Adobe Tech support suggested I submit my comment to this post in hopes  that this will help resolve the issues.  I feel for them having to field  these calls.
    I can no longer convert Excel, Word and Powerpoints to PDF.  If our company converts one Office doc to PDF a day, we do at least 50 conversions to PDF.  Since the 9.4.2 update, the PDF feature does not work on MAC...and since the 9.4.4 update it no longer works on a WIN system.
    We have Acrobat 9 on all the MACs and PCs in the office.  We downloaded Acrobat X to test it out when it first launched.  Other than some nice bells and whistles with the convenient interface and new enhancements to the Portfolio feature, Acrobat X still does not do the basic function Acrobat was designed to do....convert to a PDF.
    We began converting PDF's on the WIN systems because the file size and object data handling on MAC had become difficulty over the past year (lost fonts, file size bloated, etc).  Now, nothing works on either system.
    Last year Adobe and Microsoft Office suggested we upgrade to CS5 and the new OFFICE to fix the problems.  MAC remains closed box which is why the system is so clean, but poses a real challenge when running non MAC software.  Now Adobe advises that Acrobat only works on the previous version of Office (?), but not 2007 and that they are not compatible with the new office even thought it worked just a few weeks or so ago. Unfortunately, we have used some of the new features in the new Office and now are being asked to go back a step.
    OFFICE automatically turns on your 90 day free tech support now when you call in to tell them PDF doesn't work.  They feel they are giving YOU tech support.   Last year, the Microsoft Office group advised that once they hand off to the PDF processor, that function is all Adobe.  And it seems that Apple has their own Quark processor running scripts in between the two functions which is why the PDF file sizes are bloating on MACs.
    The Adobe Acrobat engineers at AdobeMAX suggested to run Paralells or VMware on MAC in order to convert files to PDF properly/small size  (which is what they say they do to get around the object data and bloating issues internally on their own MACs).
    I know so many colleagues now who just run dual systems (WIN/MAC) so they can realize the full function of the Adobe software.  It is not convenient when traveling or cost efficient for small businesses, but that is what we had to do to get our jobs done.  I "HAD" a couple of the most incredible PDFing maching in my office until about a week ago...a $4k mega WIN System raided, 2 SDDs, 2 1TB HDDs, major video card, etc....and they are sitting lonely because PDF doesn't work anymore.  But goodness, how fast it converted things to PDF.
    Is there another patch coming imminenty to fix this issue?
    I don't really care if there is a 32 bit or 64 bit issue.  Customers pay premium price for the software which boasted 64 bit, etc and it should work as advertised. I ponder, are all my macs 64bit now???  They still don't work either.  Customers depend on the software to do even the most basic functions in daily business and should not have to spend hours on the phone trying to figure out a problem that has nothing to do with them or a workaround because their investment did not work as advertised (and has genereally worked for years)....
    One click of the button should be all that is necessary to make a PDF and make people everywhere happy when they need to send a secure output of their huge powerpoint to a customer to get business or their child's project for school that morning.
    Is there a software war going on between the companies?
    Are they rushing to market too quickly?
    Do the companies thoroughly test the patches before running the updates?
    Are there not enough API's or "hooks" allowing companies to make their products work with the different hardware, firmware, etc?
    I don't really care what the internal issues are. Just fix it!  The software should work as it is marketed (including the platform) and these companies need to get together and make it work (if that is the case) so their loyal customers can get their jobs done enabling them to purchase the next version of software that is suppose to be better than the last for their work.
    Posted Respectfully and with hope this issue will be resolved promptly!

    Mr. Jones,
    You are a real lifesaver!!!
    It worked on the Mac.  Will have to do some searches to find the same on the PC since the same is happening.
    Do you happen to know why Adobe is saying they are not compatible with Office 2011 now?  I found a link on the Adobe webite along those lines yesterday, but was not able to find it this morning to insert into this post.
    Our CEO had a real meltdown at about 2am the other morning when trying to pdf something for a meeting the next day.  Was not very pretty.
    THANK YOU!!!

  • My PC crashed. Before crash I had it an office Mac, an iPhone, an iPod and an iPad. That's 2 computers and 3 deivces.  Or is it 5 authorized devices

    My PC crashed. Before crash I had it an office Mac, an iPhone, an iPod and an iPad. That's 2 computers and 3 deivces.  Or is it 5 authorized devices?  Anyway, since the PC crash I bought an iMac and my office Mac was replaced by a MacBook pro.  I moved my iTunes files from my office Mac to my MacBook.  I moved my PC iTunes files to my iMac from my unaffected external hard drive.
    I am now totally confused regarding what is authorized and what is not!  Only three devices appear in my iTunes account.  I "removed" the PC.  Still I am told that I can't download MY apps to my new iMac because I have 5 authorized computers.  Really?  Actually I have NO authorized computers.  Only one that has my apps still (my office Mac).
    If I deauthorize all I know I can start fresh.  That makes sense.  What has be balking at the idea is the "one time per year" deauthorization!  What is the point?  Give me an accurate list allow me to deauthorization and authorize the devices I wish.  It is MY account with MY purchases,
    Advice please?

    Authorization ONLY applies to computers.  NOT ipads/iphones.ipod/Apple tvs.  ONLY computers.
    Deauthorize all, then authorize the active computers.
