Problem with MS Office for Macs, can someone please help?

I am using MS Office for Macs 2011 on my new MBA, and have encountered a pretty annoying issue when I transfered all my Excel, Word & PP documents from my old Sony PC. When I open an Excel spreadsheet for example, the computer also opens every single OTHER speadsheet. Since I have over 30 Excel documents, this obviously becomes very annoying and time-consuming! The same thing happens when I try to open a Word or PP document. Is there some setting that I need to change to have only the document I actually want to open? All the documents were created on older versions of MS Office, but I doubt this is the problem. Can someone help please? Thanks!

You could also try deleting the microsoft preference files, incase something has gone amiss there.
Make sure all Office application are quit fully
Go to User/[unername]/Library/Preferences
Look for
com.microsoft.Excel.plist
com.microsoft.office.plist
com.microsoft.Word.plist
com.microsoft.Powerpoint.plist
Outlook is there too, so if it is causing you issues, you can delete them too
Next time you open your office applications, the new prefernce files are created. Any particular preferences that you had set will of course need to be reset as they are now all new (default) again.
Another thing to check is in you System Preferences - General
Do you have the 'close windows when quitting an application' checked? if not, checking it may fix the issue.

Iphone 4s will no longer sync with itunes 11.0.4 using outlook for mac

I have been successful for almost 18 months in getting my Outlook for Mac 2011 to sync to my iphone 4s using itunes. However, I noticed today that changes that I was making to my contacts either on my phone or on the computer were not being synced up. I also plug in using USB to sync, because iCloud causes all sorts of probems when syncing things to Outlook for Mac. Can anyone help me?
I have noticed that in itunes 11.0.4 there is no longer a box to check or a dropdown box specifically being able to choose "sync contacts with outlook"
I know I am in the dark ages, but I happen to like Outlook and the integration of the calendar and contacts, etc. So I would really like to get this fixed and syncing again.
thanks for any and all help.

I am having the same problem. Does anyone have a suggestion or information as to why?

Install Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro for Mac

I just bought a new MacBook Air and am trying to get Acrobat 9 Pro installed on it. Was able to install CS5 with no problems, but when I go to install menu for Acrobat 9 Pro, it says it's not available for Mac OS X? Help! How do I install with the serial number?

Kpcoastal84 where are you receiving an error that it is not available? Does this happen when you begin to install Acrobat 9 from your installation CD?

I need to reinstall Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 for MAC, but can not find it online.

I upgraded my MACBook Pro to Yosemite and now receive an error message that I need to reinstall Acrobat in order to run updates. However, I can not find Acrobat 9 Pro for MAC online. Please help.

That is correct Steelgrrl you will want to locate your installation media and copy the installation files to a USB drive on a computer which does have an optical drive.
Alternately if you purchased from Adobe directly and choose the download option at the time of purchase then the download will be available under your account. You can find more details at Find a download link on Adobe.com.

Install Japanese language for MAC users

I have found several websites that tell how to install Japanese language software with PC.
But I have never found one for MAC.
Please somebody help me... I am a MAC user and need to make my BB 8330 able to show Japanese...
Thanks.

Unfortunately at this time all software updates have to be done using a PC. Unless you have Parallels or other type of software that you can use to load Windows OS on your Mac. Then you can do the upgrade

No photo stream on Photos for Mac?

I upgraded to Photos for Mac and loving the new look. I also have the latest iPad and the iPhone 6 both running iOS 8.3. I loved the photo stream feature when all my photos, or at least the most current, would appear automatically on my 2 other devices. Its still happening for my iPad but not anymore on Photos for Mac. Photo stream option is enabled on all my devices' iCloud settings and on Photos for Mac preferences so not sure what am missing?

HI,
Maybe try it this way this is what I did with mine because I did not migrate and didn't know about that either.
and really have the sidebar so because it will help you get the pictures organized
Photos application for Mac Instructions that might help!
On your iPad,iPhone keep the iCloud on in settings for Photos.
if you have not opened the New Photos application yet to have it transfer your photos from iPhoto let it Transfer the Pictures.
once you have all the pictures from iPhoto to Photos then in Photos go to Preferences
there is general and iCloud tab and go to the iCloud and only uncheck the iCloud button that will make it so it doesn't sync with your iPhone and iPad for Photos.
Then in Photos go up to View and press show sidebar because with that view you can move your pictures easier to albums snd delete or move any pictures or make new albums
For Duplicates if you have a big pile in a row and I mean not like every other picture of the same pictures on the keyboard Hold down the shift button. or the other way is to Hold down the Command buttom that is right by the space bar then on the trackpad or mouse click once on the picture you want to delete and do a bunch at a time then on the last picture of that pile either right click the picture and delete or go up to the edit button which is next to file on the top left and click delete in edit.
when you are all done with moving around your pictures or whatever go back to Preferences and turn on iCloud and make sure you have the optimize Mac Storage and then you are done! I hope this makes sense and works for you! here are the 2 pictures I'm talking about in settings.

Writing pad best suited for Mac.

Hey Everyone,
I have an IMac G6,1 Intel Core 2 Duo.
This is my first time owning a desk top computer...I've only ever used powerbooks...I've also never used a mouse extensively...Well, after 3 months of intensive computer use, I'm getting shooting pains in my wrist. These are the first signs of carpel tunnel...Sigh.
I'm in the market for a writing pad. I'm aware of the Wacom Intuit writing pad...Is anyone familiar with this pad? Can anyone suggest the writing pad best suited for Mac?
Appreciate the help,
SB

Hi SB!
Sorry, no help with a writing pad.
But, I've had the same wrist pains, and mine came from using the keyboard and mouse on a regular height desk top of 28.5 to 30 inches above floor level, along with regular height chairs. Try using a typewriter stand or calculator stand height of about 27.5 inches instead, for your keyboard and mouse. That's why computer desks have a separate level built-in. Another alternative, that I'm able to use successfully, may be to raise the height of the seat on which you sit, best done not with an actual desk that has a center drawer, but with a table (or a desk with only drawers off to the sides). The key is that your wrists must be able to relax even while typing.

I can no longer read any material in nook for mac. I have a macbook pro running lion. I used to be able to but something changed and i can no longer read it. any help?

I have nook for mac loaded on my macbook pro. When I try to open a book or magazine nothing happens. I`ve downloaded the nook program twice thinking it was a bad download but to no avail. Any help?

I found the following suggested fix, posted by a user on Barnes & Noble's site:
1. Create a folder in your Applications folder, call it: NOOKforMac
Once you've done this, copy the Nook app to this folder. This should allow the app to run on the 1st or possibly second attempt to launch it.
2. Once you're done using the app always quit it by clicking on the X (red in some cases) button of the application window (upper left hand corner)
This seems to have resolved the issue and my guess is that somehow the .dmg volume path is somewhere hard coded in the app configuration.
Elsewhere in that thread, the administrator advises calling Customer Service Team at 1-800-THE-BOOK (1-800-843-2665) and choose option 2 for Digital Support.
Good luck.

El Gato or Hauppauge? Best For Mac? Help!!!

I JUST POSTED THIS TO hdpvrcapture.com & avsforum.COM
As well as sending it to Hauppauge & El Gato seperately.
Forgive the lack of clearer paragraphs, but with copy & paste the paragraphs disappear on this forum.
WHAT IS THE BEST VIDEO RECORDER FOR MAC?
EL GATO of HAUPPAUGE?
PLEASE HELP....I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP!!!!!
HERE ARE THE DETAILS
I AM NOT REALLY A GAMER!!!
PLEASE HELP!!!
NOTE:
1. I own an Apple MAC Pro Desktop Tower
2. I own ONE TV a 32" Sony HD TV (1080i or 1080P if by HDMI)
3. I own ONE Dish Network DuoDVR VIP 722K, it's a Dual Tuner HD Satellite Receiver (It can operate two TV's...TV1 in HD at 1080i or 1080p if using HDMI......TV2 at 480p SD only....But since I only have ONE TV I only use the 2nd tuner (TV2) to be able to record one show on tuner 2.....While at the same time on the 1st tuner (TV1) I'm watching, channel surfing, pausing live TV and recording onto my VCR/VHS little video clips of what I see as I channel surf from tuner 1 (TV1).
4. I still own a VCR and still use it to record my movies and channel surfing clips to VHS/VCR cassette tapes (But this must stop soon).
5. My signal comes from the HD Dish to the HD Sat. Receiver to the VCR then to the HD Television.
6. I own a large stereo digital receiver that I loop all sound through, so whatever I hear on my TV or computer, I can hear it on my speakers depending on what button I select on the stereo receiver.
7. I also own an Apple TV, I very small black box that allows me to connect my iPhone to The Apple TV by picking up my iPhone's personal wi-fi hotspot and then whatever I can see or watch on my iPhone I can then see on my 32" HD TV. I do NOT have ANY internet connection other than my iPhone, I have no regular wi-fi, cable, dsl, not even dial up, the only internet I have is a cellular data internet connection from my celluar telephone provider. HOW WILL THE APPLE TV WORK WITH ALL OF THIS?
NOTE: Regardless of what I say below I just need to be able to do the following no matter WHAT I have to buy.
1. Be able to record what I see as I channel surf onto my MAC.
2. Basically I need to replace what my VCR is now doing for me, except it needs to be recorded on my MAC.
3. I would like to be able to dub the movies on my Satellite DVR to my MAC as a backup.
4. It would be nice if this recorder would be able to handle timed recordings, dual viewing and recording, pausing live tv?, etc stuff like that but NOT vital I guess, considering what I've been putting up with for all these years.
5. I really need to dub/transfer hundreds of VHS tapes to my MAC, but I've heard that many recorders have trouble with this.
6. I must dub/transfer many dozens of 8MM Camcorder video tapes to my mac, I have not researched this yet, I don't know if they have better luck than the VHS transfers.
7. I also have literally thousands of micro-cassette audio & regular audio cassette tapes that need to be dubbed, but that is probably not applicable here.
HERE'S THE DETAILS.......
1. MAC Pro Desktop Tower, Dish Network Satellite Receiver DuoDVR VIP 722k, Sony HD TV, VCR, 8MM Camcorder
2. 7 months ago I converted to MAC I bought a used MAC pro tower, and I
am LOVING it, I was a PC guy for about 15 years, no more hand holding
and changing the PC's diapers FINALLY my computer is just a dependable
low maintenance friend.
3. By the way does anyone know if the Dish Network DuoDVR 722k is better than the 922k for what I'm doing?
4. I THINK I am getting ready to buy either an Hauppauge 1504 HDPVR Gaming
Edition Plus, or the Hauppauge HDPVR Gaming Edition Plus 2 OR PERHAPS something from El Gato (I have not researched El Gato yet).
5. I've spent some time researching this online, and have been on the
phone with Hauppauge several times, I DID look into El Gato as well,
but for SOME reason, I quickly reverted my thoughts back to Hauppauge;
but I can't remember why, I think it was something that limited me.
6. I've never even owned a tv tuner before, over the years and up to this
day, when I watch tv, I like to record some clips of what I watch BUT
I am still using a old VCR and this needs to change soon.
7. I am in my 50's and am not really a gamer yet, maybe someday, all I
will likely use the recorder for is for recording movies and tv clips
etc while channel surfing and dubbing a LOT of VHS tapes & 8MM Camcorder videotapes to my MAC's
hard drive.
8. I NEED YOUR HELP in making the VERY BEST decision for ME.
9. I realize that a vast majority of tv is copy right protected so I will need to use the component
inputs/outputs when recording my TV clips or movies etc. Otherwise the copy right
protection will block me.
10. I DO realize that because I'm a MAC user that the BEST Hauppauge
solution is the Hauppauge HDPVR 1504 Gaming Edition Plus because the
MAC software comes bundled with it, but I also understand that
Hauppauge is mainly for PC users.
11. One person with first hand experience told me that the Hauppauge HDPVR 2 Gaming edition plus capture VHS transfers better than the Hauppauge HDPVR 1504
12. HERE IS THE ISSUE...I want to buy the Hauppauge 1504, I'll take
another look at El Gato (I was told El Gato is For MAC users), but for
some reason the last time I researched El Gato, I quickly learned
there was some limitation that sent me back to Hauppauge (can't
remember what).
13. HERE IS THE ONLY THING that is keeping me from buying the Hauppauge
1504, I will be doing a LOT of recording with this recorder to my MAC
Pro tower hard drive. This will include just recording movies while
watching satellite tv, and recording little clips from tv as I channel
surf AND AND AND.... DUBBING/TRANSFERRING MY HUGE NUMBER OF MY OLD VHS/VCR Video
Cassette Tapes & a lot of 8MM Camcorder video tapes using the Hauppauge or El Gato recorder to my Mac Pro
Tower hard drives.
14. I only mention this, because I've heard that the Hauppauge HDPVR 1504
"chokes" on VHS transfers. I don't know why and I don't even know if
this is true.
15. One person with first hand experience told me that the Hauppauge HDPVR 2 Gaming edition plus capture VHS transfers better than the Hauppauge HDPVR 1504...IS THIS TRUE.......If so what is my BEST solution NO MATTER WHAT THE BRAND IS????
16. I just want to buy THE VERY BEST recorder for my MAC Pro Tower, and
don't want ANY limitations with regards to copy right protection
issues or "choke" issues when dubbing my HUNDREDS of VHS tapes & 8MM Camcorder video tapes with
the Hauppauge 1504 or whatever I buy.
17. IS THERE A INTERNAL SOLUTION......YOU KNOW INSTALL A RECORDER OR CARD INTO MY MAC DESKTOP....OR IS THE EXTERNAL SOLUTION MORE FLEXIBLE? BETTER?
18. THE ONLY THING else that concerns me is that Hauppauge is primarily
for PC users and El Gato is primarily for MAC users,
19. BUT I am NOT sure El Gato has what I need, the issue that concerns me is that there is
SOME reason after researching El Gato that I returned to Hauppauge, I
need to do more research but I THINK it might have been something to
do with my NEED to use component inputs/outputs to avoid the copyright
protection issue, maybe El Gato doesn't have the component
connectors?.
20. IT WOULD BE MUCH APPRECIATED if you can offer me insight and advice on
HOW TO MAKE THE VERY BEST DECISION IN BUYING THE VERY BEST RECORDER
FOR MY MAC PRO TOWER, SATELLITE TV MOVIE, VHS & 8MM TRANSFER RECORDINGS.
Much Appreciation,
Randy
"Perfection Seeker"
P.S....I also have an Apple TV, a small black box a little larger than
a couple packs of cigarettes, how will this fit into the equation and
will it work with the Hauppauge 1504?
If the Hauppauge 1504 can only record & playback on a MAC, then what features and function will I be
missing out on?
One person told me to buy an OLD DVD recorder for PC
and use that because the copy right protection thing was not on the
older ones; hopefully I will not need to do this.
Another person said the Hauppauge Colossus might be my solution, I don't know.
I have done none or little research into this but does ATI, Avermedia Portable,
Eye TV, Sony have any solutions for me EXTERNAL OR INTERNAL? Any suggestions or advice
would be MUCH APPRECIATED......I JUST NEED TO BUY SOMETHING THAT I KNOW WILL WORK WELL FOR ME......I WAS HOPING FOR A SOLUTION SOON, BECAUSE I CAN'T GO ON FOREVER RESEARCHING THIS.......THANK YOU!!!!!!
P.P.S.....Do you know of any other REALLY GOOD WEBSITES I can post my
questions and concerns to?.....THANK YOU!!!!!!
PPPS…..I was told/under the impression after speaking to Hauppauge a few times that the HDPVR Gaming Edition Plus 1504? included the Mac software whereas the HDPVR 2 Gaming Edition Plus did NOT ship with Mac software, the last time I talked to Haupaugge, they advised me to forget the “2” because it doesn’t contain the Mac software (they said) BUT you mentioned that people who do VHS transfers have better luck with the HDPVR 2 Gaming Edition Plus 1504?….anyway.
From what I gather El Gato has their own PVR/devices for MAC that utilize EyeTV software for MAC computers.
BUT I could be wrong here but after reading your links, EyeTV is not only used on El Gato devices but can be used with Hauppauge devices as well?
Here’s a stupid question I guess I forget, I read so much; but can HDPVRcapture be used with El Gato devices?
IMPORTANT QUESTION: I just upgraded from a Dish Network 625 SD receiver to a Dish Network DuoDVR VIP 722k HD receiver…1st of all is THIS receiver COMPATIBLE with Hauppauge HDPVR 2 GE Plus? AND The El Gato devices and HDPVRcapture AND EyeTV?
IN OTHER WORDS……Regardless of what you say to me here PRIVATELY…..I know you have your personal interests BUT what would I be better off with since I am a MAC PERSON?
My 8MM camcorder video tapes are in really good condition
BUT many of my VHS tapes are in BAD condition, they have not been played in over 20 years many of them. You mentioned below that your recorder will only work with supported resolutions, if so many of my tapes are in such bad condition does this mean they will be rejected?
Almost all of my PERSONALLY recorded VHS tapes are recordings of me just channel surfing and recording movies over the past 30 years, AND I almost always recorded in SLP mode on the VCR (not SLP mode)…..To be able to get 6-8 hours on one VHS tape….HOW DOES THIS PLAY IN…..Keep in mind I have THOUSANDS of VHS tapes, but only 50-100 8MM Camcorder video tapes.
What type of VCR would be best to use to attempt this project? I mean should I buy a old high end one on Ebay or just anything that works?
One of your links mentioned that HDPVR 2 GE Plus does NOT do HDMI……..What will I be missing out on by NOT having this option, I assume both HDPVR & HDPVR 2 have component plugs.
Hauppauge told me that I can only record and playback If I use a MAC, What features & functions will I be missing out on if I get the Hauppauge instead of the El Gato, 1st of all I don’ even know if El Gato had component plugs or not, but both El Gato & EyeTV is made especially for MAC……..BUT yours looks/seems more impressive and expandable.
THIS IS NOT A QUESTION FOR YOU I GUESS BUT…..I think my satellite dish only has one input cable feeding the dual tuner dual tv Dish Network tuner I have, to be able to do picture in picture so I can pause live tv on 2 channels at once will I need to feed a 2nd cable from the dish to do this?
I DID READ ALL THE FAQ’S BUT STILL HAVE QUESTIONS…..hopefully I’m not too redundant.
VERY IMPORTANT QUESTIONS:
Does Hauppauge come with a remote control or ability to incorporate remote control into my satellite/mac/tv system?
Hauppauge’s lowest supported resolution is 576i50, but aren’t video tapes something like 240i or p?
What does “no PCC support” mean?
Do I need a special add on sound card or just the one that is built into my Mac Pro Tower?
Will the HDPVR 2 GE Plus record audio?
Will this Hauppauge device work in any way with my Apple TV?
Does HDPVR have more RCA jacks than HDPVR 2?
I’ve heard that people had better success dubbing VHS tapes with HDPVR 2, and you mentioned something about ONE HOUR trouble free recording….My question is since most of my VHS tapes are 6 hours in length will the one hour error free limit ? Limit me or can I go longer than 1 hour?
I do NOT have ANY internet where i live, no wi-fi, no cable , no DSL, ONLY cellular data to my iPhone tethered to my MAC PRO and my internet speed is usually 1 mbps or less………Does this factor in with the basic use of this device as imagined?
Will I have no delay pass through of live tv and playing back of pre-recorded movies on my satellite DVR?
Is the any way to pause live or recorded play?
Do I need a Windows PC to INSTALL Hauppauge & HDPVRcapture software?
Is this the right time to buy? I mean are there any Big changes on the horizon where it would be wise to wait?
Who has smaller file sizes Hauppauge or El Gato?
Will I need a distribution amplifier? I need to go from my satellite receiver to the PVR and then to the TV AND the MAC……Will I need a distribution amplifier?
Are there any INTERNAL solution that would benefit me?
Can Hauppauge work with both my tuners on my dual satellite tv receiver?
Do I use quicktime to record VHS & 8MM?
How does iMovie fit into all of this?
How does Final Cut Pro fit into all of this? I’M NEW TO MAC!!!!!!!
Does a VCR require a component or composite cable?
Can I insert logos with my MAC?
Can I trim/edit with my MAC?
Can I stream with my MAC?
Can I upload (if ever needed) with my MAC?
Can I record game play (if ever needed) on my MAC?
Can I chat or add things to feed or whatever with my MAC?
I need to make a decision soon, all this research is frustrating me and killing my brain and eyesight!!!
Thank You!!!!!!
Randy

Absolutely none.
Antivirus software is NOT needed if the Mac you are running is only running OS X. Antivirus apps interfere with normal performance and operation of a Mac because they program too many controls into the main OS X system software impacting general performance of your Mac.
Here are some of my tidbits of advice on how to avoid viruses in the future, if you encounter a virus, again.
Some anti-virus solutions can slow down your Mac, but to be honest, the best anit-virus app is you, the user and your brain.
Don't visit questionable websites or website you are unsure about.
Don't use Torrents or engage in "Torrenting"
Don't install pirated software or software downloaded from a questionable or unknown websites or untrutsted sources.
Java is still a vulnerability concern, if you do not need it, don't use it.
Use a browser filter and pop-up blocker
Don't open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize.
Install security updates when they become available
Educate yourself as to what threats are common and active.
In effect, use your own brain as the antivirus filter.
Follow that advise and in MOST cases, you will be fine and won't risk your Mac to potential Trojans, malware or viruses.
If you feel you need some baseline virus protection that is minimally invasive on the Mac OS X system, install
ClamXAV

Help for using camera raw in PSE 8/Bridge for Mac for the Canon 7D

Recently purchasing the Canon 7D, taking a few test photos in Raw, then trying to use Camera Raw in PSE8/Bridge for Mac is a problem. I cannot figure it out. Can anyone help this frustrated, novice computer user?

You need to update the camera raw plug-in for bridge and PSE 8 separately (they use two different copies). In Bridge, just go to Help>Updates which will install, I think, ACR 5.7, which works with your camera. (You can't update bridge beyond that version).
For PSE 8, go here, download the latest version and follow the instructions in the readme file.

Note that the directions may tell you that you can overwrite the old plug-in. That isn't true--you must remove it before putting the new one in there.

With your phone plugged in, open Image Capture and see if the iPhone shows up. If not, you are having a sync problem. If it shows up in Image Capture, but not iTunes, I'd delete iTunes and reinstall it.
