Office Set up

should i buy a new iMac for my office or set my Mac Air up with docking station, screen etc?

Welcome to the discussion area, RPBC!
Since the Airport Extreme is dual band, it would make sense to make this the "main" router and allow the TC to perform the extending duties.
If the new computers in the main area are close to the AirPort Extreme, or they have close to line-of-sight with the Extreme, they should be able to connect to the faster 5 GHz band. Older, slower devices will connect to the 2.4 GHz band.
If the TC can possibly be connected to the AirPort Extreme using an ethernet cable, that would provide the best bandwidth performance for devices that will connect to the TC.

Stumpwm and stability in an office setting

I have used awesome (the window manager) for a fairly long time, and while it is quite good constantly changing my config file is not very pleasant. I use emacs a lot and I am fairly competent with lisp so I thought of using stumpwm. I have also considered using Xmonad although the prospect of working haskel is kind of pushing me away from that (being that I have no experience with Haskel).
From what I hear stumpwm used to be fairly unstable, lots of crashing etc. Has this improved? Is it stable enough to use as a main window manager in an office setting? If not I guess I will go with Xmonad as from what I hear it is much more stable.
Thanks for any help provided,
Kruppe

Hm...
I think it's not a good idea to use Stumpwm in an office setting. It's really cool, but far from stable.
If you really want to use it, I'd recommend using clisp-new-clx (AUR). SBCL crashes more often, at least on my PC. (That's why I made the PKGBUILD )
Avoid using the mode-line ! Afaik it's responsible for most crashes.
P.S.: Do I have to mention that you should use the stable release ? Git-version can be a pain in the......

Office set up question

We currently have this set up in our office complex:
Modem>Original TC (not dual band in main office)>Airport Extreme (Dual band in another bldg).
My question is would my "n" computers in the main office have faster access to the internet by putting the AE (because of dual band) as 1st in the chain and the TC as the second? Also, I have workers who also use iPhones (mixture of iPhone 4 and 3G) in the main office.
Thanks

Office set up - monitor and input devices

I am getting an office at work, which means I'll want to trick out my desk. I want to get a big monitor for graphic design stuff and a full size wireless keyboard/mouse.
Is it as easy as I would expect? Can I use the built-in bluetooth for the mouse & keyboard and then plug in a monitor? How will the monitor work? Do I have to use the aux monitor alone - or- can I use the laptop monitor and aux monitor at the same time?

This is just a guess, but if the last thing your wind controller puts out is a volume message of zero (as I think it would do as you stop playing the last note) then you would need to send a volume message to the sound module to reset it to the desired volume.

Opening xls or doc file with MS Office sets user permissions to no access.

We have a problem with MS Office and permissions. Basically, opening an MSOffice file removes that user's permissions, not just for that file, but for the entire fileserver. Going back to the server as Admin and resetting the permissions does not take effect immediately, but at some seemingly random point later that same day. The Win XP users also find themselves locked out of using the files sometimes, when one user opens the file the permissions seem to change to give that user ownership and others only Read Only access. I have not experienced this problem, but I do not use MS Office.
We run a mixed PC and Mac office. We have a Mac miniserver with Snow Leopard Server. Client computers use Win XP, or OS X Leopard 10.5.8. Previously we were running the same clients from a G5 PowerMac running Tiger server. This also had problems with permissions changing themselves after opening MSOffice for Mac 2004 files, but nothing quite as bad as this.
We also have had problems with MSOffice crashing when for some reason the sharepoints disconnected themselves.
Any suggestions please? This is the kind of issue that will force a change away from Mac... sadly I will be in a minority if I cannot find a fix.
TIA

Further Info:
We appear to have both oplock and Strict Locking enabled, as well as AFP and SMP in operation. Of these two protocols, we have to keep SMB so the PCs can access the files; AFP we could give up if necessary, although that makes connection times slow on the Macs.
I read that if we enable both AFP and SMB our data could be corrupted, but it didn't say what would happen to file permissions, nor how we could prevent multiple users accessing the same file simultaneously if we switched the locking off.

Office 2013 vs SharePoint 2010 - Unable to check out documents to SharePoint drafts folder

My company is foisting Office 2013 on us without upgrading SharePoint 2010 Enterprise. One of the issues I have discovered since receiving Office 2013 is that SharePoint no longer provides the option to save checked out documents to my local drafts folder.
This is despite having Office set to save checked-out files to the server drafts location and the Office Document Cache Handler enabled in IE9. Is there a registry setting or something I can change that will re-enable this feature?

Hi Nellie,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to re-enable the add-on Office Document Cache Handler in IE9.
We can re-enable the add-on in IE9 using Group Policy:
Launch the Group Policy Editor.
Go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Internet Explorer > Security Features > Add-on Management >
Add-on List.
Set this policy to 'Enabled'.
In the Add-on List, add the CLSID of BHO (Browser Helper Object) (i.e.) {B4F3A835-0E21-4959-BA22-42B3008E02FF} as the ‘Value Name’ and 1 as the 'Value'.
Log out of the machine and log back in again for the setting to take effect.

Office 2013 over Windows Server 2012 RDP World Add-On Macro/Template Error

I have a new Windows Server 2012 Remote Desktop environment for about ten users (not R2) with the latest Office 2013 Pro installed.
The users all have an add-on word template in Word for Office 2013. That add-on was installed as administrator and ONLY works as administrator.
When any other user (even if they are local administrators, domain admins, etc.) opens Word, they are immediately prompted with the following message:
"Could not load some objects because they are not available on this machine."
If a user "runs as administrator" it runs fine. Obviously, I don't want that. I have been searching and searching and thought maybe there was a group policy or Office setting someone may know that I just can't find.
Any help would be awesome! Thank you.

Hi,
Once you login with the user account which is not getting access, try the below steps and check if it helps fix the issue:
Click on start->control panel->programs and features->right click on the Office 2013 program->click on change->add or remove features-> click on the drop down arrow which is before the Microsoft Office->click on Run all from my computer->Continue.
Once completed restart the computer and then open to check if the issue occurs.
Hope it helps!
Thanks.

Newbie - setting up small home network

I'm hoping to get some advice & suggestions. I'm basically a newbie at teching w/macs - I've done some pc teching over the years and am a MS Office wiz. I'm helping an artist friend out with their home office set up after a bad experience with a Computer School Student. I'm trying to connect a week old iMac w/ a G4 laptop and an older 2004 iMac (no airport card). The office has Verizon DSL w/a linksys router --- the internet functions are fine on all machines, the new iMac & laptop connect for file sharing as well although I have the prob of not knowing the admin password and the owner can't remember it. The old 04iMac I've hotwired/hardwired through the router and get internet & email ok (its a bit slow, probly normal).
File sharing - am I correct in assuming that the hardwired 04iMac can't do both functions (ie file share & internet) at the same time? There is space for an airport to be installed - IF the owner chose to do so, would that change the functionality (ie could I then do the file sharing & internet at the same time?).
Password issue - ok with the laptop, I searched the files and found instructions on how to reset the password. I tried it but didn't get the prompts that the article said I would in nvram (geez I hope that's right or I'll look like a dork). I wasn't prompted for my password. I did safely get out of that screen (boy I was nervous) the passwords remained the same. I'm wondering if I missed something. I wasn't sure if I really was booted from the CD as the article stated, though I did hold the C key down while restarting?
Any comments will be much appreciated. I'm doing pretty good and LOVE mac's. Can't wait to get my own probly MacBook Pro this year (I use the BF's off and on for now)
Thanks in advance,
Simply,
Lesa

Thank you, I got the password issue solved and the laptop and New iMac network/talk to each other fine and I can print from either machine. The 04 iMac is hard wired into the Linksys router (DSL internet service) ... I can't figure out how to connect to the other machines or the printer. I have the printer chosen in Utilities/Print Center, I have the Apple Talk - Make Apple Talk Active chosen, Location is set on Automatic. In File Sharing, I have Personal file sharing and Printer sharing checked. I have 2 accounts set up on the 04 iMac. When I type a test page in Text Edit and hit the print que, the job appears to be sent to the printer although it didn't show up in the Print Center window and almost immediately the Text Edit program crashes, this also happened in Safari as I attempted to print a test internet page and happens from both Accounts, the Admin account and my other User Account.
I also have had some difficulty with keeping the DSL/internet connection running on the other User Account - though it seems to be working ok today.
One other - non-networking issue is that in Mail for my other User Account, often when the machine automatically checks for or sends email we are asked for the password although we keep checking the box to save the password and I'm pretty sure I set Mail up so that we wouldn't have to re-enter the password.
Thanks in advance - I appreciate your help and experience as well as having a place to ask questions and reach out for help.

How do you set up airport express to work as a bridge

I have an existing wireless home office set up with PC's. I purchased the airport express to allow my g4 desktop to gain access to the wireless network, as it's set up in another room. The airport is not "seeing" the wireless network, do i need to change the network settings in the g4 or do i need to change the configuration of the d-link 514 router?

Hello crcubed. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
Is your goal to extend the D-Link's wireless network, wirelessly, with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) so that your G4 can gain Internet access? If so, unfortunately, most non-AirPort routers are not compatible with Apple's implementation of Wireless Distribution System (WDS)...so it very unlikely that your D-Link router can be extended wirelessly with the AirPort Express Base Station (AX).
The few that are known to work are:
o Linksys WRT54G or WRT54GS (not v5)
o Belkin F5D7230-4 and F5D7231
o BT Voyager 2091
o Netgear WGR614 v6
o Buffalo WGR-G54

Microsoft office 2011 and other program issues

I have the new office set up on my computer and I noticed that if I'm copying and pasting into another program it eventually gets stuck doing that. It's like every time I move my curser it will select or drag stuff. I made the mistake of not noticing at first and it ended up selecting one of the icons on my dock and took it off. I had to restart my computer to get it to stop selecting everything the curser went over. Any suggestions or help would be great

Apple Menu -> System Preferences -> Trackpad
Check your settings here to make sure that sensitivity is not set too low.
Also the trackpads do support multi touch so make sure you don't have a palm or other finger on the trackpad while trying to make your selection.
Good Luck

Updating Microsoft Office using ARD's Send UNIX Command

Is there a command similar to "softwareupdate -i -a" that can be sent via ARD to all Mac to run Microsoft AutoUpdate to update Microsoft Office 2004. And if not, is Microsoft planning to fix that in Office 2008. Having to run to all the Mac to update Office is a pain.

Sorry but no, there isn't, since Microsoft doesn't use Apple's installer. The only way to run Microsoft updates via ARD is to either launch the updater and take control of each workstation to complete the update or to install the updated version on a master machine, create a package of the updated components (or the entire Office set of components) and push out that package. Jamf's Composer can help with this process, but it's not free.
Whether or not Microsoft will change that in Office 2008 is unknown; you'd have to ask Microsoft and I'd wager that they can't or won't answer at this time.
Regards.

Problems with microsoft office 2004

I have microsoft office 2004 installed on my macbook and excel and powerpoint no longer open. Word still works but when I try to open excel or powerpoint from the dock, a question mark appears and if from applications it doesnt exist. What could have happened and how can I fix it? Please help!

This message occurs whenever your installed fonts change. I work for a publisher so was getting it all the time as I turned fonts on and off for different projects.
In Office 2004, do this:
1. Go to */Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Support Files/*
2. Rename or move FontCacheTool. (Requires administrator access)
In Office 2011, do this:
1. Go to *~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2011/*
2. Delete *Office Font Cache*
3. From Terminal, type touch" then drag in the Office 2011 folder
4. Back in the Finder, do Get Info on the new, empty *Office Font Cache* file. Make it read only and lock it.
Notes:
1. WYSIWYG menus will now just show the font name in standard font.
2. You may be able to disable the 'optimising' message more easily by going to Word's preferences and turning off the 'WYSIWYG font and style menus' tick box in the General section. This takes affect in all Office applications but doesn't seem as reliable at preventing the caching problem.
4. Newly added fonts should still appear when you next start an Office application.
3. However you have Office set up, it can't see certain fonts. They are the ones logged to Console, e.g.:
12/04/2011 09:58:14 /System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Frameworks/ATS.framewo rk/Support/fontd[21782] ATS Font family could not be created for Abaton ITC Std - Legacy Applications may not see this font

Mac Microsoft Desktop Crash Opening Microsoft Office

I've been using Remote Desktop Connection on my Mac that came with my Mac Office set of programs. I just found Microsoft Remote Desktop and like it better than RDC. So, I'm able to login remotely - but when I'm logged in remotly through MRD
and I open a Microsoft Office program on the remote computer - MRD quits. Then I log in with RDC and the computer restarts. However, if I log in via RDC and open an Office program, it works just fine. What can I do to make it work in MRD
too?

Cannot open any Office product

Hello,
Since today I have been unable to open any Office application (I have Office 2008 for Mac). The Microsoft Office Set up Assistant opens up instead and asks me to register the product. When I click register, it tells me that I don't need to register for Office
2011 (which I have not bought). Thus I cannot re-register and cannot open any app so far. Any ideas as to what I can do to regain access to my Word/PPT documents?
thanks,
vicbruin

Hi,
As far as I know, registration is not required for Office 2008 for Mac. This issue (the Office Setup Assistant opens when you try to open an Office application) usually occurs when the Office Setup Assistant detects any corruption in the license
file (Product Key) was used to install Office 2008 for Mac.
You might want to reload the software and reenter the produce key that is included with your original installation disk, then try again.
Also, please note this is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Windows-based Microsoft Office client. Since your query is directly related to Office for mac, I would suggest you to post in the forum of Office for Mac, where you can get more experienced
responses:

You think somebody gives you an office-cd? Maybe you want a working serial as well? Come on guy, this is not a warez-place. Go to the shop and buy it.
