Transferring Office for Mac 2011 (home & student)

Will this software upload onto my new Mac when I set it up & upload all the data via thunderbolt?

It should transfer along with the activation code embedded...if it does not you can use an ethernet wire to connect the two, then drag and drop the appropriate directories/folders to the new machine and that will convey the activation.
If in real doubt, you can always contact MS and explain you are transferring to a new machine and can you have a new activation code to make it work as you will no longer be using the old machine.  They are usually good about that sort of thing.

  • Upgrading from Office for Mac 2011 Home & Student to Home & Business

    I just switched from PC to Mac and bought my first Macbook Pro. I also bought, from Apple, Office for Mac 2011 Home & Student version without realizing that it didn't have outlook. I am going to upgrade to the Home & Business version to get outlook. Should I completely uninstall teh Home & Student version before upgrading?

    Contact Microsoft it's their product.

  • Installing Microsoft Office for Mac 2011

    I have a Macbook Pro 5.3 Boot ROM Version MBP53.00AC.B03 with SMC Version 1.48f2. The computer will not read the software for installing Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 (Home and Student). An alert blocks installing of the Firmware 1.7 Update. Mac Support said the problem is the Microsoft software. Microsoft said the problem is the Macbook Pro. Does anyone know how to resolve the problem so the Office 2011 can be installed?

    Firmware updates and Office 2011 are unrelated and have nothing to do with each other.
    If the firmware won't install, then post your question in the OS X forums.

  • Reinstalling Microsoft Office for Mac 2011

    I bought Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 Home and Student Family Pack (3 users / 3 macs).
    If I perform a complete Clean install of Mac OS X snow leopard, then install microsoft office for mac afterwards, will this waste one of my licences. (So then there will only be one more installation left)?

    no, it will not waste a license.  I have the same MS Office version on my mac.

  • Office for Mac 2011 and OSX 10.9.1

    Hi! I have recent installed and re-installed MS's Office for Mac 2011 on a new OS X 10.9.1 system. Everytime I attempt to use the comments tool on MS Word, the document disappears. When I reopen Word, the same document appears. I am not given an error message, it's just seems to quit. The software is for Home and Students, and I've not had any problems using it on an older operating system. Any advice?

    Have you tried in another user account? That will help isolate the problem to just your account or system-wide.
    Have you tried in Safe Mode? That will help isolate third-party conflicts. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564
    If the first works, there is something broken (possibly a settings file) in your user folder.
    If the second works in your account, then the problem is tied to third-party software that runs at startup or login.

  • Problems with Office for Mac 2011 installation

    I'm trying to install Office for Mac 2011 on my new (bought yesterday) Macbook Air
    I entered my pin for the Office into the site and got my download link
    I started to download it and it said it would take over 4 hours and when the download got to halfway (of 1GB) the installation stopped and the message given was 'You do not have permission to access the requested file' and this came up every time  I tried to restart it
    I decided to re-install the program but was met with the same issue..
    Can anybody offer any advice or explanation for this it would be greatly appreciated!

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). Can open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done. Have repaired disc permissions. What next?

    Since yesterday all my usual .xls files will not open (Office for Mac 2011). CAN open .xlxs files. Default 'open with' is Microsoft Excel.app. No software updates done yesterday or the day before (or maybe a Silverlight or an Acrobat one by accident?). Have repaired disc permissions. HHD name is still same as it always was. What next? Thanks

  • Retina display - blurry office for mac 2011 and web pages?

    Hi everyone,
    I was planning on making a trip to my uni tomorrow to make the purchase of the macbook pro 13 inch 8GB RAM and 256 GB SSD (for student discount) but while doing some final research I came across several disadvantages of the RD.
    For the next 3 months, the macbook will be used for report/thesis writing which means ill be using office for mac 2011 and adobe reader heavily as well as the internet. I have read many articles saying office for mac 2011 even after applying the update is still blurry and grainy as are the majority of web pages and this has put me off buying and made me think id be better off with the non retina display model, meaning I'd save £200 too.
    Can anyone offer any advice on this and confirm whether or not this is true, and whether you would recommend going ahead with the purchase? A screenshot of office for mac 2011 on a retina display would be perfect
    Thanks!

    I agree with BobTheFisterman.  I have Pages 5, Pages '09 and Office for Mac 2011.  I really like the Pages programs - each of the versions in their own way - but I don't like using Word on Office for Mac.  It's not the same as Office 10 when used on a Windows machine.  Not close at all in fact.  I use it because I have it, and emailing documents between my Mac and work where we use Windows makes it easy.  "Easy" is not the same as liking the software though.
    The point of this, is that I would not recommend buying it.  I've heard that Open Office and Libre Office are very credible alternatives, and work very much like Word on Windows.  Both are free and get very good reviews.  I've not used either so can't speak from personal experience, but what I would say after buying Office for Mac is that I wish I had tried the free alternatives first.
    The other alternative to consider of course of Google Drive.  I use that for non-confidential documents, but I wouldn't trust it for storage of any confidential work related stuff.

  • UNABLE TO SYNC. MY NEW iPHONE WITH MY MAC OS 10.5 OFFICE FOR MAC 2011

    I can not sync. my Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 (calendars, contacts, etc.) with my new iphone4s.   Any suggestions?

    @Kally24, you don't state what iPhone model or iOS you are using but for iOS 5 you need the following System
    Apple ID (required for some features)
    Internet access
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)

  • Fusion drive solution to activate Office for Mac 2011

    Activating Office 2011  is a known issue for Fusion Drive Macs.
    Activation is tied to the drive. According to Microsoft the solid state part of the Fusion Drive generates a new disk id every time the Mac is started. So Mac Office thinks it a new system at each startup and will require activation.
    This solution was suggested by Microsoft Support. Please let us know if this works for you.
    Follow the steps below to remove the “Thunderbolt bridge”:
    1. Click on the Apple icon and click on “System Preferences”
    2. Click on “Network”
    3. Look for “Thunderbolt Bridge” on the left side.
    4. Highlight the Bridge and click on the “-” sign to remove it.
    5. Restart the computer and enter the Product key for Microsoft Office. Restart again.

    I don't normally advocate users re-install Office to fix an issue but in your case I think it's worth a try. The Mavericks update seems to have fixed the issue for most users. I would suggest the complete removal rather than the simple removal of dragging the Office folder in Applications to the trash.

  • Office for Mac 2011 - can't open old files

    I am currently on Mac OS X v10.6.8.  I recently installed Office for Mac 2011.  I cannot open some of my old files.  I think the ones that use the old file names, e.g. .doc and .xls, rather than .docx and .xlsx.
    Can anyone explain how I can open these files in my Office for Mac 2011?
    Many thanks!

  • Office for mac 2011 not working correctly on new Macbook Pro- Help

    I have a MacBook Pro from September and had One to One transfer all files/programs (including 2008 Office).  I then purchased the Office for Mac 2011 program and they installed it (I guess they did not remove the older program).  It has never worked correctly and I have tried to contact Microsoft to no avail.
    None of the documents open with Fonts intact (Word and Excel open up blank though the graphic elements show up.  I have to Select All and choose a font to make it show up. 
    Powerpoint is barely functional (none of the layouts actually show up when I select them, the sidebar of slides does not update as I type or try to change themese, etc.  And then when I type, the program freezes and then shuts down.
    I have uninstalled 2008 and 2011 and then re-installed 2011 but the same issues occur.  Someone on the microsoft community told me to remove my duplicate fonts, I ddi that and the same issues still occur. My brother has the same laptop and Office for Mac 2011 and no issues.
    Can someone help me basically try to start fresh- should I uninstall again? (I waas told that installing/uninstalling too many times can further the problem).
    Help!
    Thanks,
    Bernice
