Oops. Leopard found Office v.X over the network!

I ordered Office 08, which hasn't arrived yet. I noticed that .doc files will open in TextEdit (in a crude format), so I have gotten used to double-clicking them when I need to read some info in them. However, I absent-mindedly did the same to an .xls file while I was connected to my old Mac over the network. My Mac Pro apparently found Office v.X on my G4, and proceeded to open Excel over the network! And it opened the file! While I think that was a really neat trick, I am worried that Excel installed files or extensions on my new Mac Pro, which I wanted to keep squeaky clean. Do you think there is anything I need to remove, or will the Office 08 installation take care of that?

Nothing has been installed by you simply opening a doc file.

  • Corporate Win7/Office 2010 | Severe Lag when opening Office 2010 files over the network

    Good Evening Everyone,
    I work in a corporate environment for one of the top banks in the country (USA). We recently upgraded our computers to Windows 7. (The image has office 2010 included in the build)
    I've been experiencing some severe lag when opening Office files over the network. Let me start by saying I've researched a lot and have yet to find a solution that works or even makes much of an improvement. 
    Notes: My laptop is new (64-bit Win 7 Enterprise). The remote desktop where the files lie is new as well. (64-bit Win 7 Enterprise) Both computers have good hardware and more than enough juice to handle applications. 
    There are certain files I work on along with other co-workers that we store on a computer within the office. We simply create shortcuts to the files on our local machines and make changes, etc. from there. However, after this upgrade, every time I try to
    open a file on the remote computer, it takes over a 1 minute to load. I've spoken to our support team who sent someone out and confirmed it's not the network. 
    Both computers are on the same subnet as well. I've changed the trust center settings on both the client computers and "server" to trust any computer on the network. I have also changed the network card's speed from "Auto Negotiate" to
    full duplex 100mbps with no luck.
    I am out of options here and in desperate need for a fix. Even saving changes to a file we work on takes forever. 50% of the time when I close a spreadsheet, the title bar has a not responding message and takes a minute to eventually close. 
    PS: Extra Info : All computers run McAfee AV and use McAfee for disk encryption. I've confirmed all computers are up-to-date in every respect with the AV software. 
    Thanks,

    Try: 
    Open My Computer.
    Open the Tools menu and choose Folder Options...
    Select the File Types tab.
    Select the extension (for example DOC, or XLS) of the file that is slow to open.
    In the Details section, click [Advanced], and another dialog box will open. 
    In the Actions section, click Open then click [Edit...], and another dialog box will open.

  • PLEASE help me to get Leopard to see my HP over the network

    Sigh..... I still cannot get this to work. Does anyone know of any way to get my PB G4 with 10.5.1 to see my HP Photosmart C7280 over my network so it will install properly? Oh, and yes, I would like to be able to use the full feature set that I paid for, not just basic print.
    Here is my setup: I have the C7280 connected to my wireless router (Zyxel HW660) via ethernet connection and my network accessed by my computers. I have my iMac (running 10.4.11 and 3 XP machines connected and working properly with the C7280 via wireless connection.
    Here is what I have done.
    Archive/Install Leopard again today
    Uninstalled/reinstalled full HP software for 10.5 from HP site downloaded today.
    Entered IP address of printer into Safari and it sees it fine and gives me the status info
    pinged the IP address of printer and it responds
    Tried to manually add the printer using same IP address and it doesn't find it.
    connected the C7280 and my PB via direct ethernet connection and it sees the C7280 fine through a Bonjour connection.
    What else can I do? If there was a problem with Leopard and my router, wouldn't it be an all around problem? I can connect to internet, share folders, etc all on the network so don't think that should be a problem. The fact that the C7280 can be "seen" via direct ethernet connection means that it can communicate with the C7280 software and finally, since I can ping it and get status via IP address in Safari means the connection is there.
    As soon as I was able to connect to the C7280 via direct ethernet connection, HP told me it was an issue with Apple. HP Mac Architect are you out there?
    Can anyone help!! Thanks! PS Sorry, I know post long, but wanted to be as complete as possible.

    I'm not sure if this will help you, but I have an HP 2200d Laserjet attached to my SMC 4 port wireless router BUT via the router's USB port. Anyway I couldn't get it to print in Leopard on my G5 whereas my other computers on the network (a B&W with Tiger, an iBook G3 with Panther and an XP PC) saw it and could print to it without any problems. The G5 only experienced problems printing to it once I upgraded to Leopard via archive and install. The original setup in Tiger on the G5 went missing once I upgraded to Leopard so I had to set up the configuration again. Here's what helped me:
    1) Add a new printer in the System Preferences > Print and Fax
    2) Choose IP
    3) Now for me, under Protocol I chose LPD, but you may have to choose IPP or HP Jetdirect
    4) For Address type in your printer's IP address
    5) Queue type in LPT1
    6) Name type in whatever you want to call your printer
    7) Now this next step is what made my printer work under Leopard (in Tiger it was blank): For Location type in LPT1
    8) For Print Using choose "Select a driver to use...", find your driver, install it and Leopard may start printing to it
    This worked for me, but my router has a USB port. Checking the other IP set ups, they look similar to the LPD set up. I hope this helps.

  • HP 8450 over the Network

    I have been trying to get my HP Photosmart 8450 printer to work under Leopard to no avail. I have it hooked up over the network. When i do the manual install, i do not even see the driver listed. This, despite the HP site which tells me the driver comes as part of Leopard.

    i plugged my MacBook Pro into the printer using a USB cable and it saw it. What is odd, is the correct driver is listed, but if i do a manual install of the printer, the driver is no where to be found. THis is a major problem for me as i do not want to have to plug the computer into the printer everytime i have to print.
    My Windows XP box can print over the network, why can't my mac?

  • Installing an app from DVD-ROM on an iMac, over the network, to an iBook G4

    I have a rather broad question: my in-laws want to install Office 2008 onto an iBook G4. Unfortunately, the G4 only has a CD-ROM drive (ie, read-only), and the Office 2008 install media is DVD-ROM.
    They have a new iMac (onto which Office 2008 has already been successfully installed), and my suspicion is that you can share the install disk over the network, but I can't seem to find any detailed instructions on how to do so. I am (unfortunately) Mac-less at the moment, so I can't experiment myself, and my in-laws are about 2,000 miles away, so I can't just pop over and play around until something works.
    Anyone have any guidance on how to use the DVD drive on one machine as a way to install on another over the network?
    The iMac has Leopard installed, the iBook G4 has the latest version of Tiger.
    Don't worry, no licensing issues as it's the Student/Home edition of Office 2008; you're entitled to install it on up to three machines.

    Go to System Preferences/Sharing and make sure that DVD or CD Sharing is checked. Ensure both Macs are connected to the same network. Insert the Office 2008 DVD into the Mac with the DVD drive. Open a finder window on the Mac without the DVD drive connect to the other machine. You should see the Office 2008 DVD in the finder window and you can install from here.

  • I want to share my external hard drive over the network

    I found a lot of threads and discussions about this, but no answers.
    I have a WD My Book External Hard Drive that I'm looking to share over the network. However, when I add the volume to the "Shared Folders" or even a folder within the volume and the "Users:" are grayed out.
    When getting info on the volume, Sharing & Permissions says, "You can read and write"
    Any ideas?

    Hi Keith,
    Thanks for your response; however, the first screenshot is through the Sharing settings in the System Preferences.

  • Airport won't print over the network

    I have a basic HP Photosmart C4200 series printer. It works fine when I plug it directly into my computer but when I plug it into the router, it won't print and this message comes up : "Unable to read response header - short read"
    When I delete/add the printer from Preferences, it finds the printer and establishes connection but when I try to print over the network, it gives me that error message.
    A weird thing I found was that when connected to the airport, my printer shows up under the iDisks tab under the Airport Utilities instead of being in the Printers tab...

    Welcome to the discussions!
    A number of entry level printers are designed so that they will only work when they are connected directly to a computer, so that may possibly explain your problem.
    To verify, you can work your way through Apple's troubleshooting guide to see if this is the case. If you've completed all the steps and still can't print, I think you have your answer.

  • Unable to print to USB printer over the network

    Hi all,
    I have an iMac and an Macbook Air, both running 10.6.4, and I've got an HP LaserJet 1200 printer connected to the iMac by USB. Both machines are on my home wireless network (Linksys, FWIW).
    I seem to be unable to print to the LaserJet over the network from my Air. I've tried all manner of permutations of printer setup on the Air: IPP/LPD/HP JetDirect; entering the hostname (*.local) and the IP address of the host; leaving the queue blank and not; and leaving "Print Using" as generic vs selecting the LaserJet drivers. The printers appear in the "Default" Add Printer menu as Bonjour Shared, but this doesn't seem to work either.
    Following other threads, I've tooled around with CUPS (resetting the configuration file, etc.), with no success. The other threads I've found on the subject seem to be more specifically addressed to folks trying to use an AirPort.
    Any suggestions for what to try next?

    In that case, let me elaborate on what happens when I try to set up the printer via Bonjour, in case there are any clues in the behavior that I'm seeing. The printer seems to appear twice in the "Default" pane, with Kind as 'Bonjour Shared' and Printer Names as follows:
    HP LaserJet 1200 @ (hostname)
    HP LaserJet 1200 @ (hostname) @ (hostname)
    Selecting the first, it displays "Gathering printer information..." for a few minutes, then strikes out, suggesting Generic PostScript Printer rather than the correct driver. Whether I stick with that or select the correct driver manually and then try to print, it hangs on 'Copying print data..." (in the print queue).
    Selecting the second, it gathers printer information only for a second or two before settling on Generic PostScript Printer. If I stick with Generic PostScript Printer, it hangs on 'Connected to printer...' but if I select the correct driver, it hangs on 'Copying print data...' again.

  • Can you share a USB hard drive over the network through an Airport Express?

    After asking a few individuals at my local Apple Store, I have been consistantly told that I can plug in a usb hard drive into the bottom of my airport express and share it over the network.
    However, after making sure my airport express has the latest firmware (6.3) and even donwloading and installing the airport disk utility I still am not having any luck getting my HFS (journaled) usb 2.0 hard drive to be visible on the network.
    I have also noticed that when following the instructions on this apple support document (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AirportUtility/5.1/en/ap2108.html) that when I get to step 3, the option to click disks is grayed out. I assume this supports my theory that the airport express won't share hard drives, can anyone confirm?
    Am I doing something wrong? Or were the reps at my store mistaken and the only hardware that can share a hard drive is the airport extreme not express?
    Thanks
    Message was edited by: althe3rd

    Thanks for the swift reply.
    Continuing my investigation I started to come to the conclusion you just mentioned. I am surprised none of the staff at my store realized this. However, at least I know now.
    The basis for me looking to this is... With leopard on the eve of its release, I wanted to get a large network accessible storage solution that would allow my wife's and I's Macbook pros to use time machine on the network drive when we were at home. Since we rarely use our laptops while sitting at a desk connected to an external drive, I figured this would be a great idea and started to look into various NAS solutions.
    Surprisingly, most generic (netgear, western digital) network drives require you use proprietary software to connect to them, and are only compatible with windows xp. After seeing the options the airport extreme opens up in terms of network storage I figured it would be the best bet.
    Do you have any other suggestions besides getting an airport extreme? I would rather not have to buy a full blown mac that I have to leave on 24/7 to share the drives. Or do you see any possible pitfalls to this idea? Such as, would time machine forget to use the network drive after a while since it wouldn't always be available to it when away from home?

    Never mind, I already found the solution myself.
    What I did wrong was:
    - not copying the master image to the nbi folder
    - selecting the netinstall-restore.dmg image as source to copy to my HD.
    The thing is, when you create a netinstall image for 10.5, the image itself is already included in the netinstall image so you don't have to do anything else.
    With the 10.4 image however, you also have to copy the master image to the NetBootSP0 directory.
    In the *.nbi folder contains an netinstall-restore.dmg file. But that is only to boot you to netrestore, it's not the image itself.
    Other alternative is to copy the images to another folder that you share with AFP and adjust the configuration of netrestore like described in this manual:
    http://www.shellharbourd.det.nsw.edu.au/pdf/misc/osxrestoringnet.pdf
    This manual was also how I figured out that I forgot to copy the image to the NetBootSP0 folder.

  • Capturing video to a file while transmitting it over the network

    I have tried several ways to do this but non of them have worked. On the JMF Programmers Guide its stated that one could do something like this: creating a processor from a DataSource, and the taking two Datasources from the processor, one is used to transmitt the video over the network, and the other is used to save the data to a file(through a DataSink).
    One of the ways I've tried is to clone de DataSource before creating the Processor. I've also tried to clone the Data source after creating and realizing the processor. The other way I've tried is by using the JMFSolution "Video Capture Utility with Monitoring", found at the jmf's homepage, which intercepts the data carried from the capture data source to the Processor.
    Non of these have worked, and I always get Exceptions about not finding a DataSink for the DataSource I use. For example:
    "javax.media.NoDataSinkException: Cannot find a DataSink for: com.sun.media.multiplexer.RawBufferMux$RawBufferDataSource@d9850" ;
    "javax.media.NoDataSinkException: Cannot find a DataSink for: com.sun.media.vfw.PushBufferDataSource@1e45"
    I've search the Web triying to find something clear about capturing video to a file while transmitting it over the network, but nothing seems to work.
    I would appreciate a piece of an advice on this.

    you can try modifing de Capture example from JMF Solutions.
    change this function:
    public int startCapture() {
         int result = -1;
         enableComponents(false);
         buttonStart.setLabel("Pause");
         buttonEnd.setEnabled(true);
         startMonitoring();
         try {
    processor.start();
    DataSource clone = Manager.createCloneableDataSource(datasource);
         MediaLocator ml2 = new MediaLocator("file://capture.mov");
    System.out.println("Content Type " + clone.getContentType());
    datasink = Manager.createDataSink(processor.getDataOutput(), ml2);
         datasink.open();
    datasink.addDataSinkListener(this);
         datasink.start();
    result = 0;
         } catch (Exception e) {
         System.err.println("DataSink Exception " + e);

  • How to backup Mac Lion over the network

    I have a client who asked me to set up a Lion email server for 20 users.  It is running open directory for the user accounts and has a wiki set up on it as well.  I have been researching  backup solutions for it.  The server runs in a remote data center environment and it is the only mac on the network.  There are other Linux and windows machines on the same network as well.  I would like a backup solution for the email  and open directory database that doesn't require stopping the email service (if possible), and I would like to back up over the network (if possible). 
    What would be the best way to back up this server considering it needs to be in service 24/7?  I am open to both free and commercial solutions.  Any thoughts or comments would be very much appreciated.

    As the server is in a (remote) data center the first more normal approach for backing up over the network would require you to have access to a second computer in the same data center this would require additional hosting costs.
    The next (network) approach would involve backing up from the server in the data center over the Internet to perhaps a machine at your own office, or another site, or a third option to use a commercial Internet based backup service.
    Internet backup services include the following and I am sure plenty of others -
    Mozy - http://mozy.com/
    Backblaze - http://www.backblaze.com/
    Carbonite - http://www.carbonite.co.uk/
    Crashplan - http://www.crashplan.com/
    iDrive Pro - http://www.idrive.com/index.html

    If your backing up to your own Mac over the Internet you will need to setup a VPN link. You could in theory as one possible example, have the Mac mini in the data center also act as a VPN server so you can fully access it, then mount the volumes over AFP, then use any standard backup tool to copy that to a local volume. Retrospect would be able to do this as one example. Another way is rather than using AFP, use FTP to download everything. However unless you protect FTP behind a VPN it is these days considered very insecure.
    Another approach is to use Rsync which is designed original for Unix/Linux for this exact purpose but like all Linux originated software is far from friendly. See http://www.rsync.net/resources/howto/mac_rsync.html

    Hi,
    When a Mac is "registered" for iMessages account with an Apple ID the Serial Number of the Mac is used to create an Auth Token as it is called for the Messages app that allows that Mac to work.
    I would guess a similar process of linking the Number of the iPhone to a Hardware fact about the device is also in place.
    I would contact Apple Support and check with them.  (you might need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are script led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware categories where as sorting and Apple ID (which the Number is in this case) is normally Free).
    I did find this iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    It starts off about sorting SMS that is not working.
    This one has a bit on Unlinking an iPhone Number (with or without the iPhone) iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support

  • HP Laserjet M1132 MFP is too slow over the network!

    Hi,
    My HP Laserjet M1132 MFP is too slow over the network!
    I have connect the printer to a windows XP 32bit SP3 using UBS port. The printer works fine on the local computer but when sharing it over the network it works too slow, for example with print test page it takes about 45 seconds to print and for other documents it takes much longer time.
    I have installed the latest driver form HP website and upgrade the firmware it the latest version.
    It happens on other Windows XP machines as well.
    I connected the printer to my laptop (Windows 7 64bit) and it works fine (No delays over the network) and it seems that this problem have some relations with the windows XP Driver.
    I have used local port trick on remote machines (instead of regular method) like this:
    ''add a local printer;
    'new port'
    'localport'
    \\XPcomputer\HPPrinterName as port name
    but still nothing!
    There is nothing wrong with the network, we use to use a Samsung printer on the same machines over the network with no problem.
    I Really appreciate your HELP!

    BEHZAD_T, how is the printer connected to the network (wireless or Ethernet)? If it is slow wirelessly, I would suggest trying to connect the printer to your router with the Ethernet cord and install it to the networked computer that way.
    Another question is, relatively speaking, how close to your router are the Samsung printer and the HP printer? Depending on the distance (and what stands between the devices) there can be a lag between sending a print job and it being received by the printer.
    Let me know!
