Office or i work

i am a previous user of windows now will be with mac pro. which office software is better? iwork or office 2011.
i love the templetes of keynote, pages and numbers,they have much higher scence of beauty in work than office in windows, But what about office on mac.
what do u prefer Mail, i cal or outlook, which one is better in which aspect?
also suggest about excel vs numbers, pages vs word, keynote vs ppt
thanks

Well first Congrats on your new Mac!
Honestly its going to be a personal choice... I use iWork at home and for personal use, but I have to use Office for Mac at work. I personally believe iWork is easier to use and seems to be more reliable.
Next thing: Mail or Outlook?
Well I love Mail I would say Mail all the way. Super sleek look and really easy to use.
Now you are asking for an individual breakdown... so here it is:
Excel vs. Numbers: Excel
Pages vs. Word: Pages
Keynote vs. Powerpoint: Keynote
So I would suggest using iWork and Mail.
Wish you Best of luck!

Running mountain lion os 10.8.5 on mac book pro mid 2012 build. If I upgrade to Mavericks will MS Office programs still work?

I am running mountain lion os 10.8.5 on mac book pro mid 2012 build. If I upgrade to Mavericks will MS Office programs still work? There does not appear to be an updated version of MS Office for Mac past 2011 that I bought last year and am using now. Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thanks.

Office 2008 and 2011 will run on Mavericks, but you may not be able to get the installer for it at this time.

Is there a version of Microsoft Office that will work on Mavericks?

I have seen several questions on this topic, but don't have a clear answer on if I need to buy something or can get an update for my version of MS Office.
I believe I have MS Office 2004 based on the log files I can see in the directory. MS Office will not run so I can't be certain.
I have a Macbook Pro running 10.9 with the 2.2 GHz Intel Core i7 processor.
When I start it now the error I get is "You can't open the applicaiton Microsoft Word because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
So, what does this mean, excatly?
Can I update my MS Office to a version that is supported?
If I have to, instead, BUY a new version of MS Office, will it work on my laptop?
Thanks for any tips. I have looked at several of the other threads but they seem to confuse the issue since everyone is in a different situation with hardware versions and such.

Thanks Niel and Varjak.
Do you by chance know if I have to buy a new version of MSOffice or if this there is an upgrade path from 2004 to either '08 or '11? I have had the MS Update app on my laptop for a while but I guess since I always had an older version of the OS, I never needed an update to '08.
I tried launching the '11 MS Update app but it would not load since I have an older version of MS Office installed.

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

The office building I work in is too close to my favorite Starbucks and Passbook is constantly offering to load the Starbucks card every time I turn on my iPhone. What can I do?

The office building I work in is too close to my favorite Starbucks and Passbook is constantly offering to load the Starbucks card every time I turn on my iPhone. What can I do? I'm sure the phone is using Location Services way more than I want it to.

in OS 6 Go to
Settings>Privacy>Location Services scroll to Starbucks and slide to off.

My Microsoft Office 2004 stopped working after upgrading to MT. How can I get it to work, or, how can I uninstall MT?

My Microsoft Office 2004 stopped working after upgrading to Mountain Lion. How can I get it to work again, or, how can I uninstall MT?

Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in 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.
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.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

Exchange 2010 Out of Office Assistant not working?

New server with a new Exchange 2010 install into an existing domain...
When users on both the internal network and external network try to access the Out of Office Assistant they get an error message of: " Your Out of Office settings cannot be displayed, because the server is currently unavailable".
I have done tons of research on WebServicesVirtualDirectory and AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory and set both internal and external URL's that work if you go to them in IE )internally and externally offsite).
Here are the settings of Autodiscover and Webservices:

Test-OutlookWebServices comes up with errors. The Test E-mail AutoConfiguration within Outlook still appears to be looking for Autodiscover at different URLs...
OOF within Outlook Web App functions.
Any suggestions would be helpful!

From your previous post, I understand that OOF doesn't work for both internal and external clients. Error message "Your Out of Office settings cannot be displayed, because the server is currently unavailable" was received from Outlook client side. Please correct me if I have any misunderstanding.
Before we go any further, I would appreciate your help in clarifying the following questions:
1. When did this issue begin to occur, since the installation of Exchange 2010?
2. Can we access and configure OOF from OWA?
As internal & external clients are using different methods/URL to access Autodiscover and EWS, which provided OOF service, I recommend we focus on the internal users first.
To troubleshoot this issue, please install the hotfix mentioned in the following KB on the Exchange Client Access Server first:
Outlook 2007 crashes or you cannot access OOF settings after you install a package that contains the .NET Framework 3.5 with SP1 and the .NET Framework 2.0 with SP2 on an Exchange 2007 Client Access server or on an Exchange 2010 Client Access server
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958934
After that, check if the issue remains. If there is still problem, please help me collect:
1. Test E-mail AutoConfiguration from Outlook client
1. Launch Outlook 2007 using a correct configured profile.
2. Hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard and click the Outlook icon in the notification area of the Windows taskbar, also known as the notification area.
3. In the menu that appears, click Test E-mail AutoConfiguration.
4. Enter your E-mail Address and Password (if not logged into the domain) in the respective edit boxes.
5. Choose the desired auto configuration methods with Use Autodiscover, clear other selection.
6. Click Test.
7. Please send me the screenshot of the result tab and log tab.
2. Result files after running the following command on the Exchange 2007 server
Get-ExchangeCertificate | FL >C:\cert.txt
Get-WebServicesVirtualDirectory –Server ServerName | FL >C:\EWS.txt
Get-AutodiscoverVirtualDirectory –Server ServerName | FL >C:\Audis.txt
Get-ClientAccessServer | FL >C:\cas.txt

I installed Lion and now my MS office will not work, is there a way to revert back my original software?

I installed Lion and now my MS office will not work, is there a way to revert back my original software?

Back to Snow Leopard from Lion install method
Read and print out these instructions, your computer is going to be offline and you wil be cutoff from help until your machine is restored.
Clear the Desktop, Downloads and Trash of anything you wish to keep by placing their files in the respective Documents, Music, Pictures, Movie folders.
If you have a TimeMachine drive, update it and disconnect for the duration of this restore time. It will be your second backup system and will have to be wiped and setup again after successfully going back to Snow Leopard if it was connected to the OS X 10.7 boot drive. If it wasn't, then leave it disconnected without updating to Lion.
Backup ALL your Users folders (Documents, Pictures, Movies, Music etc) manually (drag and drop methods) to a (not TimeMachine) external powered drive (HFS+ journaled formatted in Disk Utility) and disconnect, your going to be wiping the entire disk of ALL DATA. (warning, everything will be gone and not recovered)
Here we go!
Hold c and boot off the 10.6 installer disk that comes with your computer and second screen in just STOP.
Look at the Utilities Menu for Disk Utility.
On the left is the name of your hard drive maker, click it and Erase (format HFS+ Journaled), give it the same name as before, and click Erase...
This should wipe the drive of ALL partitions (GUID, OS X and 10.7 Recovery, Windows if present)
When it's done, quit and install OS X 10.6. Then install all your programs from fresh sources and validate/update.
When you setup a first account, use the same user name as before, this way you can simply drag and drop the content of your previous Users folders from the external drive right back into the new Users folders and everything should work peachy. Links in iTunes to music, playlists and iPhoto links especially.
Update OS X to 10.6.8 using the Combo Update for best results.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
(Note: If your original machine had 10.5 and you want the free iLife that comes with the disks with the computer, then you'll have to install 10.5 first using the same c boot/erase/format methods as above, then update to 10.6 via the disk, then Combo Update 10.6.8)
Final step optional but highly receommended.
A lot of people use a Carbon Copy Clone of their boot drive to a HFS+Journaled external drive as a "hold the option key" bootable backup in case something goes wrong with their boot drive or need to restore to a previous OS X version.. (in addition to TimeMachine drive for more immediate backups.)
It's not advised to have a Bootable Clone and a TimeMachine partition on the same external drive, as two drives gives hardware protection in case one fails.

I need a reliable office suite. Open Office is not working well for me. Any suggestions?

I need a good reliable office suite. Open Office is not working well for me. Any suggestions?

If you mean Open Office is not always able to correctly open documents received from clients created with MS Office, then the only real solution is to purchase Office 2011 for Mac. As good as some of the free alternatives are, they can't duplicate every feature of MS Office.

Office Store not working in Office 2013 ProPlus

I have few policies set up for managing our network deployment of Office 2013 ProPlus. Pretty standard things like disabling the first time run movie, disabling the office start screen, and disabling OneDrive. I actually made most of these changes through
the registry as well.
Now, it seems as though the Office Store is disabled but I have no recollection of specifically disabling such a feature nor could I find a registry or GPO which does disable it. I even undid many of the registries I use on a test bench but still could not
get the Office Store functionality back. We've had Office 2013 rolled out on our network for almost a year, and it's taken this long for 1 person of 150 members of staff to notice that the Dictionaries feature is not working due to Office Store not working.
I feel a bit daft posting something seemingly so trivial on TechNet, but half an hour on Google didn't turn up anything relevant that I wasn't already aware of.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
Please check if you have disabled the option of "Don't allow any apps to start" and "Don't allow apps from the Office Store to start" in Office Trust Center.
Location: FILE->Options->Trust Center->Trusted App Catalogs
GPO settings for these options:
Block Apps for Office
Block the Office Store
Location: User Configuration->Administrative Templates->Microsoft Office 2013->Security Settings->Trust Center->Trusted Catalogs
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

If your startup disk says it is full, you need to remove some of your stuff.
Either move some documents/movies/pictures to an external drive (if you want to keep them), or delete them from your startup drive. Then, empty the Trash.
If you move them to an external, you will still have to delete them from the internal drive.
That won't fix Office (I don't think), but it will make everything run better. You need a minimum of 10GB free (more would be better).
You might need to reinstall Office. It should work without problem (well, at least as little problem as Office can muster).

Publishing error "MS Office has stopped working"

I have an issue with Presenter 6.1:
When I'm trying to publish a presentation it sais "MS Office has stopped working". When I'm publishing the same presentation on my laptop everything is working fine (same MS Office, same Presenter). I had a similar issue with Dreamweaver, but I found that it was due to uncopatibility of Adobe products with Empowering Technology of ACER, but after installing a patch from Adobe this problem with DW was resolved.
Can you please help me ?
My desktop computer info:
Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS
MS Office 2007

Hi
Maybe the trial version of MS Office is not valid anymore.
As far as I know if Windows 7 is available for this model then MS Works and MS Office Trial or ready are preinstalled.
What version do you have? Trial version or full version?
I assume you dont have any MS Office disks. Right?
Well, in such case either you will try to set the OS to the early time point before the MS Office has worked or you will try to recover the notebook using HDD recovery or Recovery disk.

Installed Yosemite and Microsoft Office does not work. How do Apple do it? Help!!

Installed Yosemite and now Microsoft Office does not work. Help!!

What version of Office is it, and what version of OS X were you running prior to your upgrade? You need to be on Office 2008 or later, and Office 2011 is preferable.

Microsoft office isn't working on my Mac anymore

I have tried to open Microsoft Word on my Mac for the past week and it won't let me login. My product key is also claimed to be invalid. It is already downloaded on my computer and has been for about 3 months now. It just started doing this. The error code is 0x80048823. How do I fix this? I have already tried restarting my computer. Microsoft Office is not working at all. It comes up as if I'm a new user saying enter product key, sign in to existing acct, or 30 free-trial. I try signing in and that's when it gives me an error code. I tried entering my product key to reinstall it maybe? That's when it said product key invalid. I need them to work ASAP! I am a college student and this is extremely inconvenient.

USUALLY, when you're asked to log in (if you're running Office 2011) the app is asking you to log into your Office 365 account. I just had my logic board replaced AND installed a higher capacity SSD, having to clone my old SSD to the new one. I got the message that you describe BUT I do have an Office 365 account.
You might get lucky calling MS: or, as Bob suggests, post on the Office for Mac users forum.
Good luck,
Clinton
