Trouble with MS Word after 10.4.3?

After upgrading to 10.4.3, I find that MS Word won't work...it opens and immediately, upon chosing a style sheet, closes down....I can't open documents that I've saved in that format. None of the other programs in Office have this problem so it's apparently something that Word doesn't like. I notice there's a little icon of one of my printers that shows up in the blank sheet immediately before it closes, if that's any help.

Are you using Office X ? There is a rather old update available on the microsoft mactopia site, which is a must unless you want to have Word crashing constantly. Another word specific troubleshooting step is:
Open font book->Delete all duplicates market with a dot (improve speed of Word)
Not familiar with Office 2004 though.
General measures:
- repair permissions (Disk Utility->repair perm.)
- run maintenance scripts (open terminal, type "sudo periodic daily weekly monthly" from an admin account)
- trash or rename (i.e. add something like "backup") preference file (home folder / library/preferences/com.microsoft.Word.plist)

    Anyone else having trouble with FCPX crashing after the OSX update? It NEVER crashed until the update. The night before last it crashed 20 times in 45 minutes. I can't finish my project because of it.

    There are some patterns of crashes that suggest possible causes and fixes; some users report crashes when FCPX is in the process of loading; others while importing/exporting, etc. Asking to narrow the list of possibilities.
    Suggest starting with three things:
    1) Update the software from the APp Store  if need be.
    2) Trash preferences.
    3) Repair permissions.

  • IPad2 got a terrible trouble with 3G network after updateing to IOS5.1.1

    Hello guys, I got a terrible trouble with 3G network after updateing to IOS 5.1.1.    Now when I turn on my cellular data, the iPad 2 can say the carrier and 3G on the left top. But when I tap the Safari, it turns to be:"PDP authentication failure". I did the update to 5.1.1 last night, before that every thing is fine, and now I can't use my 3G at all.
    Could anyone please tell me what's happing and what should I do???
    Thank you so much!

    I reset the APN on network settings and rewriting the same. iPad now working on 3G.

  • HT4623 Is anybody having trouble with your ringer after installing OS 6.0 and using the new GPS system?

    Is anybody having trouble with your ringer after installing OS 6.0 and using the new GPS system?

    The good (?) news is many people are have OS 6.0.1 wifi problems.
    I could not connect to my home network.  What eventually worked for me (twice now), though it makes no sense, is to go to the particular connection you want to use, hit the little blue arrow on the right to get the details screen.  Scroll down to the bottom and change "HTTP Proxy" from "None" to "Auto".  Then leave the "URL" field that pops up blank. 
    This should not work.  However, it has for me where many other suggestions have not. 
    *shrug*
    Best of luck.

  • Has anyone had trouble with dropped calls after downloading the IOS 7

    has anyone had trouble with dropped calls after downloading the IOS 7

    I downloaded mountain lion and then iPhoto '11 in order to tap into iCloud capabilities with all of my devices. (My Mac was outdated in regards to operating platform to do this). After installing iPhoto 11, I had to repair and rebuild my library of photos.  However, after doing this, all of my albums were jumbled and, while I can see the image thumbnail, when I click on the thumbnail, and error that looks like a black triangle and gray exclamation pops up as opposed to the larger hi def image I want to view.

    trouble with my home sharing after apple tv up date

    Same here. iPhone, Mac Mini and Apple TV3 are all up to date. Logged in and out on each device and home sharing and airplay still don't work at all. Nothing shows up in the remote app. They're all on the same network and have been. The only thing I can think of is the most recent ATV firmware update, but why would my phone be unable to see my computer??

    Are you on 10.8.2 as ypur profile says? If so, it's worth updating to 10.8.3 which was released last week.

    Here's a link to some suggestions that helped some users with similar problems in Lion. May still be relevant to MLion. Also check the links within the article:

    Also when I had wifi problems in the past, creating a new network location resolved it:

    I've also seen threads where users with wifi problems have successfully solved them by changing the channel in the router's wifi settings.

  • Trouble with booting system after upgrade udev= systemd

    Hi everybody,
    I have been trouble with my system since last upgrade (udev => systemd)
    My issue is something like this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1106157 but advice from this discussion doesn't work.
    When system booting, *immediately* (very fast, too fast) display login screen after start parsing hook [udev]
    Of course, i can't login - type username and i have redraw screen again on all /dev/tty* - i have no chance to type password.
    Many invalid logins suspend init for 5 minutes and allow me see display error due stop redraw screen - libpam.so.0 cannot find.
    I suspect that, partitions aren't mount (this fast login screen doesn't have even hostname). I have a 4 discs, with many partitions - mounting
    this take a some time (+- 5 secs).
    In rescuecd, i can mount all partitions and chroot. In chroot all works fine - /bin/login (i was checked authorization on all users),
    paths and pams are ok. Of course i try ,,default rescue trick'': `pacman -Suy linux udev mkinitcpio` and 'mkinitcpio -p linux' on rescuecd
    but nothing it's changed after reboot. I checking grub config, and unpack and check initramfs-linux.img - all ok.
    In my mkinitcpio.conf ofcourse i have MODULES="ext3" (for my filesystems).
    Please help.

    And am wondering what the message means by if /usr is on a separate partition - separate partition to what?  /boot? / ?
    I have my /usr partition in the same partition as /  (but /boot is in a different partition)
    Logic tells me I'm safe (haven't rebooted yet), as / is "master", and anything else is a separate partition, and I have /usr on the same partition as /.
    Do you guys have separate /usr and/or /boot partitions?  As stated in first sentence this may not be related, but looks important...
    It means separate from /. So yes, you're right, you are "safe" from having to do anything with this message on your system.
    And to the other people on this thread: make sure you do have all your packages uniformly updated, including any pam-related AUR or ABS-build packages. libpam and the pam module directory (.../lib/security) were moved from /lib to /usr/lib a little while back, so make sure that anything that cares about where these may be have been updated so they aren't confused by this move.

  • Hi i am havin trouble with my ipad after i have downloaded a game and have been playing for a while it seems to of diapeared and the screen goes a white blank background there is nothing on the screen at all so i switch it off and back on and it is white

    hi i am having trouble with games on my ipad as i have been playing them the screen goes white and i can't play the game i go back to the game centre on the ipad and click on the icon for the game and come up to play i push play buton and the screen come up again white so any body had the same problem could they let me no thanks

    Quit the game and restart the iPad.
    To quit the game - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work try this.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Trouble with MS Word for Mac 2008 file open from LaCie NAS drive after installing Mac OS X 10.9 Maverick.

    Since installing Max OS X 10.9 "Maverick" when I open Word documents from my LaCie NAS drive they open as empty documents. When I copy them to my local hard drive and then open them the content is fine. Has anyone else run into this? I contacted LaCie and they said "we do not support OS X or MS Word so talk to Apple and Microsoft. I have a thread with Microsoft and here is one with Apple.

    I suspect that the issue with the EFI partition is unrelated to your Mac’s slow performance. I have had this same error message with Disk Utility. The EFI partition is related to firmware updates, and as it is not even booted when you boot from your usual boot drive, it is not relevant. (I was able to repair the EFI partition with Techtool Pro 7 , though, but then it reappeared, which makes me think it is a bug with Disk Utility.)
    I’d uninstall the following items, which are frequent flyers on the list of culprits for misbehaving macs:
    Blackberry
    google keystone agent
    Chrome
    Perian stopped being supported by the developer before Mountain Lion, so I doubt that it’s compatible with Mavericks.
    I have the same 8,2, BTW, and it is very fast. I like Kappy's suggestion. If getting rid of those 4 items above doesn't fix the problem, then a clean install (and not reinstalling your old "utilities" or other junk) will.
