Running Microsoft Office 2001 with Tiger vs Classic

Mac experts,
Okay, I have a couple of questions. First, I recently installed Tiger 10.4 on my G3 laptop. Runs great eventhough I know I'm pushing the envelope with only 128 MB of memory and at 400 MHz speed. Anyhow, since I also run several programs that required the Classic environment, I went ahead and installed 9.2.2 as well. Both systems seem to work well with each other. I then decided to update to Microsoft Office 2001 which went smoothly as well. The problem (and maybe it's not a problem) is only Classic will run Office eventhough Tiger will run Office for me on my iMac (G4). Is there a way to tell my little ole G3 laptop to run Office from Tiger instead of Classic. I have encounter some freez-ups when working in Office (just Word so far). I would be working and periodically hit save to save the work and several times, when save was hit the machinge would freeze up and require me to do a force quit. Anyhow, any help you guys can give me is greatly appreciated.
Second question. I take a lot of pictures and use iLife to make slide shows and movies. My iMAc has only a 20 GB harddrive so as you can imagine it fills up rather quickly. I purchased a 300 GB external harddrive to store all of my "productions" but was wondering if there is a way to automatically save photos in iphoto and music in itunes directly to the external harddrive instead of periodically making the transfer manually?
Thanks guys for all your help!

You need Office X or Office 2004 to run it natively in Mac OS X.
As for iTunes/iPhoto you can set where documents are stored in the preferences section of each application.

Is it possible to easily run Microsoft office 2010 with access on a MacBook pro or have I wasted my money ?

Okay , first off thanks for any help in advance . I just purchased a MacBook pro for my daughter for college . ( finance major ) . Her class requires Microsoft office 2010 with access . As you probably already know , and I have just learned , that is no offered for Mac. Is there an easy way To run ms office with access on a MacBook pro or have I wasted my money ?

All that matters is file compatibility. The documents look the same. I've been a professor, so I don't see any issues here at all.
Another option you may want to consider is this: Run Windows on the Mac:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
   1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows
         XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. For Boot Camp
         4.0 and above you can only use Windows 7 or later. Follow
         instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on
         installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and
         installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the
         computer into OS X or Windows.
     2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business,
         Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software
         virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently
         with OS X.
     3. VM Fusion and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate,
         or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that
         enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
     4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows
         applications without having to install Windows. The
         Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
     5. VirtualBox is an Open Source freeware virtual machine such
         as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris.
         It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM
         Fusion.
Note that VirtualBox, Parallels, and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech Labs- Virtualization Benchmarks, January 2013 | MacTech for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Will Microsoft Office 2001 work with the Lion upgrade?

Will Microsoft Office 2001 work with the Lion upgrade?
Will one have to reinstall after the Lion upgrade?

Office 2001 will not work with Lion. That is a Power PC App which is no longer supprted in Lion. You should upgrade to Office 2011, Apple iWork, or Open Office.

Is it possible to Install the 64-bit Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 if we are running Microsoft Office 2010 32-bit?

So we are running Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, Version 14.0.7015.1000
(32-bit)
This is what is installed via our Network and Network licensing.
I am trying, in vain, to read and write a .xlsx file via a C# Edit Script in a SSIS Package. And I have tried using...
string StringConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=" + sourceFile + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 12.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1\"";
And this tells me that this has not been installed. So when I go and try and get the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 64-bit, which would allow me to use Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 and allow me to read, write, and process this .xlsx file, it tells me
I cannot install it because I already have 32-bit installed and it wants me to un-install Microsoft Office 2010. Why? Because it is 32-bit? And I can't do that because this is what we have and what we're licensed for and from what I've read seems to be the
industry standard because most software vendors are ill equipped to process 64-bit right now.
So my question is this...How can I use a C# Edit Script to read and process a .xlsx file? Because if I try using...
string StringConnection = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" + sourceFile + ";Extended Properties=\"Excel 8.0;HDR=Yes;IMEX=1\"";
It then tells me that the file is not in that format.
Please excuse me for asking this question in a couple of different ways out here but I cannot for the life of me seem to be able to get an answer as to how I can process a .xlsx file with a C# script and which driver to use that will make this work.
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.
ITBobbyP85

Hi ITBobby85,
If the excel version in the Connection Manager is Microsoft Excel 2010 (.xlsx), we should use Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB provider.
We can't install 32bit and 64bit parts of office on the same machine. We will get an error as you said when we run the installer to install the 64bit version of the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable in the machine where a 32bit version
of Microsoft Office installed. To fix this issue, please download and install the 32bit version of the Microsoft Access Database Engine 2010 Redistributable with the link below:

Microsoft Office 2001

Ok, I am running an iMac 233 rev b os 8.6, I have Microsoft Office 2001.
The problem is that when I open Word 2001 (it works perfectly ie: type, print, save etc.) and then close it, regardless if I type or not, it freezes, then the only way I can get out is by force quitting.
How can I solve this?
PS. This also happens when I open/close iCab

Hi, Mulligan -
Did Microsoft Office Manager (a control panel, and perhaps an extension or two) also get installed? If so, try disabling MOM - it's known to cause problems occasionally.

I need to run Microsoft Office 2010 and can't figure out what I need to do...

Im taking a office applications class and we're required to use Microsoft Office 2010. I have Windows for mac 2011 on my computer but that's not good enough. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get Office 2010 running on my iMac desktop. I'm really not very computer savvy when it comes to this stuff...

To run Microsoft Office 2010 on your iMac you will need to install Windows. You can do this one of two ways.
Use BootCamp (free program on your iMac) to make a windows partition and then install Microsoft Windows (XP, Vista, or 7) then you will need to restart your computer with the windows partition then you will need to install Microsoft Office.
You can buy Parallels Desktop 7 ($79.95) or VMware Fusion 4 (49.95) these programs make what is called a virtual machine on your iMac it's like any other program, but is is designed to run Windows and other OS along side of your Mac OS no need to restart your iMac, the main advantage. Once you install Windows then you can install Microsoft Office 2010.
Note: Both of these methods will require a full version of Microsoft Windows.

Is snow leopard compatible with microsoft office and with quicken 2007?

Is snow leopard 10.6.3 compatible with Microsoft office and with quicken 2007. I am about to upgrade to snow leopard and wanted to see if there are any problems with interfacing with non apple applications. Any help is appreciated.

Yes. Snow Leopard includes Rosetta, which will allow Office 2004 and Quicken 2007 to run. Office 2008 and 2011 are Intel native and will also run under SL.

Microsoft office issues with clients bound to my Open Directory Master

So i converted all of my clients from having a local account on there machine to being bound to my Open Directory Master with a home folder on the server. I deleted there local account on there client machine and then bound it and logged in with there server account. launch microsoft entourage,excel and word and i get weird errors when the applications launch. So i reinstalled on the local admin account of the client machine and all applications now work except for microsoft entourage.
I can set up an account... see my exchange email server but no email. nothing.. if i log the client machine out of the OD master account and log into a local account on the machine everything works fine. Am i missing something? i even set up for the user account in the allowed applications to run the microsoft office suite with no change.
thanks,
Jess

Note Microsoft Office does not support server-based home directories. You can use portable home directories which syncs stuff down to the client (like a roaming profile but "better" )
As far as errors with application launch, etc., check the permissions on the applications themselves. Office has an annoying habit of installing itself as the user who installs it (well, except Office 2008 which installs itself as user 502, always, lol). Ensure the permissions on the applications make sense -- this will take some command line use of chmod and chown.
Also ensure that your home directory permissions are mapped to the user you're logged in as. If you move from local accounts to server-based accounts the UID on the home directory will not automatically change properly, and Microsoft stores its stuff in ~/Documents/Microsoft Office Documents which will have the owner/permissions of who initially created that directory.

How to Install Visual Studio 2010 on a PC with Microsoft Office 2013 with 64 bits

I am with problems to have acess to the link: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=12187
Why?
I want do install Visual Studio 2010 on a PC with Microsoft Office 2013 with 64 bits. How can I do it?
Thanks.

Hello Carla Sofia,
Visual Studio installation do not depends on Microsoft Office 2013. They do not have relationship here. I think your problem is that you cannot find the link to install Visual Studio 2010.
In order to know why, please see here:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/search/default.aspx?sort=PN&alpha=Visual%20Studio%202010&Filter=FilterNO
The mainstream support for Visual Studio 2010 is already expired and that is why you cannot open any link about Visual Studio 2010 Setup.(I cannot verify whether that link is about VS2010 Setup.)
I think you need to think about the following:
1. If you need Visual Studio 2010, you may have to consider some other channels. For example, official site you can try use MSDN Subscription. For non-official site. Sorry I cannot provide any place for you
2. You can use other latest version of Visual Studio, for example, we have Visual Studio 2012, 2013, 2015 for you to use. You can also use Visual Studio Express 2010 version. It is still available for download.

Barry

Why can't I run Microsoft office on OSX 10.10

I have OSX 10.10 and it will not allow me to run microsoft office 2011. What is wrong?

What happens when yo try to run it?
Have you repaired the startup disk via Dis Utilities?
If you purchased a digital copy you should have the verification code or equal and thus be able to redownload it.
If you lost the disk then contact Microsoft
You can also post in the Microsoft communities
