Problems w/MS Office 2008 & Google Earth Ever Since Snow Leopard "Upgrade"

I probably should have checked this forum before taking my son's advice to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6. Ever since this upgrade, I've had repeated and frustrating problems with two applications: MS Office 2008 for the Mac and Google Earth for the Mac.
Note that I did an "in-place" upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, i.e., I inserted the installation DVD into my iMac and then double-clicked on "Install Mac OS X".
Office 2008: Ever since the Snow Leopard upgrade, MS Office 2008 has been crashing. Typically, it's Entourage crashing when a crash does occur because that's the office app that I run 95% of the time. However, whenever Entourage crashes and I try to launch Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, they won't launch either... The icons will bounce a few times in the dock but won't run. (The Entourage crash is the only Office App that actually generates a crash window.) Note that there are two identities configured on my iMac, both of which which use Entourage. The key thing about this situation is that when the Office 2008 crash does occur, restarting the iMac ALWAYS resolves the problem until the next time a crash occurs. I've tried to determine what combination of events, i.e., apps open/being used in either/both identities, etc. is the trigger, but I can't find anything obvious. Sometimes I can use the iMac for a whole day without a crash, but that's unusual. If Entourage is left open in both identities, maybe a couple of days will pass without a crash, but invariably it happens again, and then it's reboot time again. In cases where Entourage is left running (in one or both identities), we will still eventually get a crash in one of them if one of us tries to open a WinWord attachment (with a "Not enough memory to run Word" error). If at that point I close Entourage and try to restart it, it crashes. I've tried everything I could find on the Office for the Mac forums, including deleting duplicate fonts, doing a safe start-up, fixing disk permissions via Disk Utility, zapping the PRAM, turning filing sharing off then on (including deleting everything listed in the Shared Folders section), logging out/logging back in, etc., all to no avail. One of the Office 2008 for the Mac forum contributors suggested that the problem was with my Snow Leopard Install, but then a contributor to another more general Apple forum blames Office for Mac. (This is exactly the sort of finger-pointing exercise that I'd hoped to avoid when I made the plunge from being a long-time Windows user to becoming an OS X user...; - )
Google Earth: This just flat-out WILL NOT RUN ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard. When I try to run it, it bounces in the dock for about a minute then just stops, staying fixed to the dock until I do a Force-Quit. (I don't have it permanently tethered to the dock since I only use it occasionally.) I've tried deleting/reinstalling, including Google Earth's suggestions to remove files from my identity's Google Earth folder in the Library folder, but no dice.
My take on all of this is that despite all of Apple's advertising to the contrary, their OS (including updates to their OS) isn't necessarily as trouble-free/stable as their anti-Windows spots would have you believe. Sorry for this long post, but any help would be much appreciated.

I left my system running all day in 64-bit kernel mode. (I left Entourage running the whole time.) Just now closed Entourage and tried reopening it. Same deal with Google Earth. They both crashed. Here's a screen paste of the entire Microsoft crash log for Entourage:

  • Microsoft Office 2008 Won't Install On Snow Leopard

    So I installed Snow Leopard last night, and everything's been going smoothly; that is, until I needed to reinstall Microsoft Office 2008. I uninstalled it when it was buggy, as I figured it was a simple issue that could be fixed with a reinstall, but now it refuses to even install.
    I can get through the installer, up until the point where it tells me to select the components to install, and then when I click "Install"- nothing happens. Here's a video of exactly what's happening, to better diagnose the problem. (http://www.gynecologistcobra.net/misc/msinstallbug.html)Anyone care to help me figure out what's going on?
    When I put the disk back in to install Rosetta, I got through it, until the end where it asked me to install. When I click it, the button greys out, then just goes back to normal and nothing installs, just like above. I don't know what's going on.

    I can't. Whenever I click the lock to make changes in Accounts, nothing happens. Everything stays just like it was.

  • Ipod charging problem since Snow Leopard upgrade..

    Hi,
    I usually charge my ipod through the keyboard usb port on my aluminium imac, but since i upgraded to Snow Leopard the ipod is now flattened ??
    The ipod shows the charging ipod and functions correctly in itunes, its just flat if left connected overnight..
    Anyone else having this problem ?

    Those keyboards are notoriously underpowered. Does it charge correctly if you plug it directly into the Mac?
    Is the machine set to sleep?

  • Problem with opening .wmv files in QuickTime since Snow Leopard upgrade

    Until upgrading to Snow Leopard any .wmv files would open automatically in QT when double clicked.
    I now get an error message which says "QuickTime Player must be installed to run this application".
    I can open the file by launching QT(pro) and opening it from within the player - kind of a long way round.
    Any suggestions what the fix might be would be gratefully received
    Thanks

    Hi,
    try upgrading your Flip4mac plugin to the new Beta version which supports Snow Leopard.

  • Ever since snow leopard my external drive keeps disconnecting

    i love airport base station extreme- it worked well for years. i get snow leopard (which is also great), but- now my external keeps disconnecting. i have it partitioned for time machine as well. but now it keeps disconnecting after five or six minutes. any help?

    I am experiencing the same issue. I lost a complete hard drive volume due to this situation. About 2 years of data down the tubes and unrecoverable through Drive Mechanic 3 and other sources.
    Please Apple, look into this as I am about ready to downgrade back to Leopard to prevent this. I thought it was my firewire enclosure but it turns out it is doing it with my USB mounted drives as well.
    Both drives have been plugged in to external power by the wall plug and not bus powered so that would not be a cause for them to disconnect in terms of the bus powering them down.

  • Problems with iphoto 8 since snow leopard upgrade, help!

    Create a new library (depress the option key and launch iPhoto and create new library) and import a few photos there - report how it works

  • I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did).

    I recently upgraded to Lion, and immediately started having consistent problems with Open Office 12 (would hang, and need a Force quit to recover). Has anybody else seen these problems? Any solutions other than going back to Snow Leopard? (I did). But I'd like to use iCloud with iPad.

    Hi Pete. The repair of disk permissions can help resolve  any application crashing or misbehaving.
    As for Lion and the two camps, I think that is a reasonable observation. In my office we have about a dozen Mac's and about one third of those Mac's had problems after updating from 10.6 to 10.7. The main problem for these Mac's was a loss of wifi stability. But for the other two-thirds, Lion was a smooth transition.
    Personally, my Lion experience was fine. But I did get a new i7 MacBook Pro with Lion already installed and only had to migrate my user data from a 10.6.8 TM backup.
    So I think that is a key for Lion's operational success. A clean install of Lion on a new Mac would not cause too many operational issues. But an installation, or more correctly, an update to Lion from SL increased the chances of failure for some users - especially when old software & plugins resided on the Mac. And I would say that they were the people that you saw at the Apple store.
    As for the "latest release of Lion fixed my problems" statement, my experience with these and other forums is that people mostly only go there to complain about the problems they are having. If they are having no problems then they either keep it to themselves or they try to help the users who are experiencing trouble...

  • Ever since the systyem upgraded me to 3.6.6. I can not even run one eight hour day without firefoc either crashing or locking up which requires me use C/A/Deleate to close the program. I used to be able to run 8 to 12 windows at a time and NEVER lock up

    Ever since the systyem upgraded me to 3.6.6. I can not even run one eight hour day without firefoc either crashing or locking up which requires me use C/A/Deleate to close the program. I used to be able to run 8 to 12 windows at a time and NEVER lock up or crash with the older version. Is this problem being looked into and or being corrected. I use Firefox with Google and my system is XP Pro 32 bit. THIS IS REALLY making me MAD. My email is [email protected] and would appreciate a response to this ASAP. I have tried a couple of items from your help section and nothing works.

    Two previous questions may not have been as clear as I would have liked. I recently upgraded my MacBook 2008 (10.5.8) to Snow Leopard (10.6.8). With the updates came iTunes 11.1.1 and Quicktime 7.6.6. I am still using Garageband 2008 and iPhoto 2008. When I create music in Garageband I usually adjust the volume and save it. Even now when I share the Garageband created files with iTunes 11.1.1, the volime I previously set in Garageband is retained. However, when I use the music to create a slide show in iPhoto 2008 and export to Quicktime 7.6.6, the volume level I previously set is lost and seems to default to a low level. The problem seems to be either in the slide show export from iPhoto 2008 to Quicktime 7.6.6 or in Quicktime itself. Is there a work around, so that I can retain the volume level I had previously set in Garageband, a volume level that seems to transfer without problem to the new iTunes. But then iPhoto 2008 (slide show) possibly or Quicktime 7.6.6 do not cooperate. Before I did the upgrade to Snow Leopard, the new iTunes and Quicktime I had no problems with the set volume being retained in the old Quicktime. The reason I need control over the volume is that all these music files are uploaded to YouTube.

  • Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.

    Wifi problems since 10.5.8 Update. Even after Snow Leopard Upgrade.
    Is there any way to use a 10.5.7 wireless .kext files on Snow Leopard? And where can I find the files?

    Ok, I have the fix!! After several frustrating days it finally just works.
    The process:
    Upgrade your Macs to 10.6 (Snow Leopard)
    Powercycle your modem AND time capsule / airport TWICE
    Reset your time capsule with a pin or paperclip on the back
    Follow the prompts to setup your time capsule / airport access
    -- On your Macs
    Go to System Preferences > Network > Airport > Advanced > TCP/IP
    Click "Renew DHCP Lease" then click "Ok"
    Click Apply
    Turn off Airport
    Turn Airport on
    IT WORKS!!!
    One of the magical people at tech support walked me through it earlier today. The whole process took about 1.5 hrs because Show Leopard takes about an hour to install on one machine.
    Hope this helps-
    Joshua

    iMac 27 inch
    Mac OS X  Includes Software Snow Leopard upgraded to Mountain Lion  OS X 10.8.03 (1278)
    251 GB Flash Drive

    Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics AMD Radeon HD 6970 2048 MB
    Video: Software Final Cut Pro X  10.0.8
    I use the imac mainly for editing Video which when doing so it has reached temperatures of near to 60° C which causes the program to become unstable and needs to be cooled down to operate correctly.
    An Apple technician (by phone) advised me to download an smcfancontrol.  This allows each individual fan to increase speed and also advises the current temperature at °C.  The smcfancontrol has been downloaded but this has not resolved the problem.  By increasing the speed of the fan more heat is generated and creates additional noise. 
    I have since taken the iMac to an Apple Store for examination as suggested by APPLECARE when the fans were found to be working correctly.  An Apple Store technician carried out a test, but not whilst working under the pressure of FINAL CUT PRO when the iMac generates a high temperature.
    The Temperature Specification  for this model is
    Operating Temperature 20 °c to 35°C
    Storage Temp.47°c
    Clearly the temperature my iMac  is operating at is excessive and could cause the computer to break down prematurely.  Has anyone experienced this problem.

    When was the last time you cleaned/vacuumed out all of your iMac's vents, slots and ports.
    You need to do this with the iMac powered down, disconnected from power and everything disconnected.
    Lay your iMac, screen down, on a soft surface, like a heavy towel. Use a small electronics vac, or portable or full size vac with hose and a crevice tool attachment and carefully and slowly vacuum every vent, slot and port on your iMac.
    Then reconnect everything up, power up and download and install iStat Pro. Start working, then report the temps of your iMac after this has been done.
    When using SMCFan Control, it is important not to run the fans at too high an RPM. This doesn't generate heat on its own, but will suck in more dust, lint and dirt into your iMac, and that will be the cause of additonal increases in heat.
    I run my fans in the range of 1400-1600 RPMs. You can go as high as 1800 RPMs but it is important to keep the RPM range below either 1800 or below 2000 RPMs.
    I, also, run a very small desktop fan pointed toward the upper back of my iMac to keep temps down even further.

  • Problems with iPhone detection after Snow Leopard upgrade

    Hi all,
    Have been experiencing a rather strange issue ever since I had upgraded from Leopard 10.5.7 to Snow Leopard via the upgrade disc. My Macbook ceases to detect my connected iPhone in both iTunes and the XCode Organiser. I have to re-install iTunes each time the Macbook is loaded up for the detection issues to be fixed.
    Some of my friends who had upgraded from Leopard (rather than doing a clean install) had also experienced similar issues. Wonder if there is a fix to this?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Problems with Microsoft Office 2008 and 2011

    Hiya,
    I am running Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro and I'm having ongoing problems with the Office system. I'm doing a PhD so I use footnotes all the time and in Word 2011, the autosave function makes the footnotes disappear from the bottom of the page, but I'm not comfortbale working wihtout autosave running. I deleted Office 2011 and put Office 2008 back on my machine. However, since I re-installed Office 2008, the whole OSX seems to have slowed down.
    Could Office 2008 cause my whole system to get sluggish? Is there anything that I can do about it?
    I am also wondering if there is there another solution to my original Office 2011 problem with footnotes that doesn;t involve disabling autosave? Has anyone else has similar problems with footnotes? I just wiped my whole system and re-installed all the programmes, so I am surprised to still be having these same problems with Office!
    Thank you for any help and advice!

  • After migration to new iMac - problems with Microsoft office 2008 using multiple users

    I migrated my data from my old Imac to my new Imac.  On the new Imac I created multiple logins for my kids.  My microsoft office 2008 programs will not open.  I keep getting the "Customer Experience Improvement Program" screen which cycles through, checks for update then closes never allowowing me to access the program.  Please help!!

    Reference your first post - I download and use dmg files, so either I'm lucky or they are supported.
    I would try the disk reinstall since at this point there doesn't seem to be many options.
    Do you have a backup? You could restore the Microsoft Office 2008 folder.

  • Leopard Upgrade problem for Microsoft Office 2008???

    Hi there,
    i have a question regarding upgrading my MacBook. I've done some searching
    on this forum but couldn't find what i was looking for.
    I bought a MacBook in September 2007 which runs Tiger and i would
    like to upgrade to Leopard.
    I have installed a version of Office 2008 and i only have the 1 licence.
    Will the Leopard installation overwrite this licence or will be
    be detected and preserved to run on leopard????? I don't want to
    lose the use of that licence
    Many thanks
    Chris

    Welcome to Apple Discussions:
    First, unless MS has changed their policy, you are allowed two installs of MSOffice - notebook and desktop. At least in the PC world.
    Second, even if you do have to reenter the license, since the hardware is unchanged, I do not believe anything will happen.
    For example, I am running Vista on this machine via bootcamp. I installed it when I was running Tiger and did not have to reregister it. True, that's not quite the same as your case, but I strongly suspect that you will not even be required to reregister the product, since the license is a user license.
    If you do have any issues, I have found MS to be very cooperative with their technical phone assistance, so I would add not to be concerned.
    Just be sure you either use the default install or Archive and Install so you do not have to reinstall Office.
