Trouble with Office being slow...

I have an iMac with 16 gb of RAM and have trouble with Office being slow... is there a way that I can assign more memory to MS Office, so I can utilize all the RAM that I have available?

Sig,
My hard drive has approx 1.5 TB Free. And the iMac has around 9 GB Of RAM (out of 16GB) in the green
on the activity monitor.  I know in older versions of the operating system, one could assign
more RAM to an open application, thus allowing the app to access more memory when needed
such as having huge amounts of text on the clipboard.

    iMessage and FaceTime went down yesterday for some people. Mine is still down. My iMessage is saying the same thing about being activated. Sounds like you are still down too. Ignore the status page that says everything is fine - it lies.

  • Just bought a brand new Airport Extreme and having trouble with it being recognized. I have a Mac version 10.5.8. Is my computer compatible?  I have the Airport Express now and it works fine.

    Just bought a brand new airport extreme and having trouble with it being recognized.  My mac is version 10.5.8.  What should I do?

    The new AirPort Extreme needs the 6.x version of AirPort Utility, which comes packed in with Lion 10.7.5 or Mountain Lion 10.8.x......or......you can also configure the device using an iPhone or iPad running a recent iOS.
    From Apple's Specifications:
    Setup and Administration
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later and AirPort Utility 1.3
    Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.5 or later and AirPort Utility 6.3
    A few options.....
    Borrow another Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion for 10-15 minutes and set it up. The Mac running 10.5.8 will be able to connect to the wireless....but it will not be able to make any changes to the configuration of the Extreme.
    Update to Lion or Mountain Lion.....but check first to make sure that your Mac will support the operating system first.
    Use....or borrow an iPhone or iPad to set up the Extreme

  • Trouble with Office 2013 and KMS activation.

    I have a KMS server running on Server 2008 R2 that was serving out activations for Windows 7 and Office 2010.  I ran the Office 2013 activation
    pack on the KMS server and now it also shows our KMS key for Office 15. I realize that I need a minimum of 5 in the count field in order for activations to happen.
    We use VMware VDI and I spun up a pool of 10 with Office 2013 installed on the master. Before creating the desktop clones, I rearmed the master and then shut it down, snapped it and created the desktop clones. I have logged onto most of the clones
    with a number of different user IDs and when I look at the KMS server it now shows that the count is 9 - so I would assume that my copies are being activated.  However, when I look at Office on the VDI clones or on my own personal computer that has 2013
    installed I see that the product still needs to be activated.  
    Yes we have the VL service record in DNS pointing to the right server - it's been there for ages taking care of Windows and Office 2010.  I did not have this issue with either of the other products and KMS.  I am at a loss as to what
    to do next.
    Thanx...

    check the client-side event logs for the SPP events (request/response), is the client (your pc for example), hitting the expected KMShost, and what response resulted?
    Also check the KMShost event logs, is the request from your pc arriving there, and what came in, and went back as a response?
    If you're not familiar with how to "decode" the events, check here:

  • Why do I have trouble with attachments being stripped when sending email via Earthlink Webmail using Firefox?

    I recently built a new computer running Win 8.1. However, I have had trouble sending and receiving attachments with Earthlink Webmail on Firefox. I sometimes cannot see attachments to emails I receive, although the size of the file indicates they are there. When I try to send an email with attachments, the browser contacts Earthlink, and then the message reappears, but the attachments have been stripped. If I hit Send again, the message goes, but without the attachments. If I re-attach the attachments and hit send, they are again stripped. I contacted Earthlink support, and they told me it is a problem with Firefox. I then tried IE and was able to send the attachments without a problem.
    I would really appreciate any help as Firefox is my browser of choice.

    1. Not sure how to send an email in a private browsing window... I use Earthlink Web Mail and I cannot find anything on that site about private browsing window.
    2. Have not tried this yet, but will when I get a chance.
    3. Not sure. My old computer ran XP. Never had the problem with it. Right now, it is not connected to the internet, so can't check it.
    4. I neglected to mention... I did try IE and it worked fine.
    I do have Norton 360 installed, but it was not a problem on the XP machine.
    Thanks for your response. I have been so busy lately that I just now picked up your response. I have not had time t to try anything else.
    As far as the file type, I was trying to send pdf files. Have not tried other file types.
    Earthlink limits messages (and attachments) to 20 MB. The files were less than 3 MB.

  • Trouble with office VOIP

    I have an office VOIP (Taridan) that connects to my office network. I have a static IP address through which I connect to the office VPN. Our IT folks know nothing about Macs. I just switched from a NetGear router to an Airport Extreme. The internet connection works great - both wired and wireless. But I cannot get the VOIP phone to work. The phone uses a wired ethernet connection.
    The IT folks have asked me to find out if the Airport Extreme recoginzes the phone, but I am having trouble finding such an identification. Some other posts seem to indicate that wired connections aren't listed anywhere in Airport Utility but that doesn't make sense.
    They also discussed port forwarding to the IP address shown for the phone, but I am having trouble identifying the IP address in Airport Utility.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know just enough about networks to be dangerous!
    Thanks.

  • TS3276 Trouble with mail running slow

    My mail is running very slowly and it looks as if I have more messages saved and coming in that I believe I actually have.  I also have a message that reads "connection logging enabled" at the top that seemed to appear about a month ago and I don't know what it means.  Any reason for mail running slow, mail messages duplicating multiple times and for trash not emptying as it should?

    From the Mail menu bar, select
              Window ▹ Connection Doctor
    In the window that opens, uncheck the box marked

  • Is anyone else having trouble with reminders being automatically deleted/changed in ios7?

    Since upgrading to ios7, I've noticed the reminders app decides randomly to delete certain entries, duplicate entries and even change alert times - which is really quite disconcerting if you rely on this app as I do (or did in ios6 anyway......)
    Anyone noticed anything similar or is it just lucky old me and my seemingly intelligent and becoming wholly independent of me, iPhone?!

    Ok I have a fix for that....
    I just figured this problem out for myself with a friend]
    ==============================================================
    CLOSE SAFARI
    go to MY COMPUTER
    C:
    Documents and Settings
    Your name
    Application Data
    Apple Computer
    Safari Folder
    Delete BOOKMARKS.PLIST
    ( Now I have to warn you this WILL DELETE your bookmarks from Safari so back them up before you do this )
    NOW........
    go back and IMPORT your bookmarks
    take all your bookmarks from the "IMPORTED ON XX/XX/XXXX " folder and drop them into the BOOKMARKS MENU at the top ( not the folder just your bookmarks)
    NOW DO NOT DELETE the Imported on xx/xx/xxxx folder
    for some reason when you delete the IMPORTED ON XX/XX/XXXX folder.... It causes them to go missing under BOOKMARKS MENU
    SO as long as you dont delete the IMPORTED ON xx/xx/xxxx folder they will stay in the BOOKMARKS MENU where you can manipulate them
    ALSO... DO NOT DELETE the IMPORTED FROM INTERNET EXPLORER
    or IMPORTED FROM NETSCAPE/ MOZILLA FOLDERS
    that will also cause your bookmarks menu bookmarks to go missing too
    I guess this is a temp. fix for now
    Thanks,

  • IPhone 5 trouble with words being deleted as I text

    When I start texting, all of a sudden my phone starts deleting whole words that I just typed in...automatically. Out of nowhere. It will also add periods, double letters, etc. This just started happening today, and I've had the phone since it first came out.  Any suggestions on how to correct this?  Thanks!

    Yeah I went to the 3 store and they said that it costs if they find it's a software issue (which I believe isn't fair). However, after sending mine off and having it back exactly the same I headed off to the 3 store and asked to see what they could do for me. Of course, they can't touch Apple phones so they kindly phoned Apple again for me to only say that Apple have NO record of me even sending my phone off even though I have written and e-mail proof. They then said that they replaced my phone in which they didn't. So I spoke to the senior supervisor who said for me to send it off again (yawn) but to be replaced and if it doesn't then I have to e-mail her directly. It's such an annoying issue because I'm still paying for my phone when I can't even use it.
    My advice is, definitely go to the store. Even-though they can't actually replace it there and then or send it off themselves to be repaired but they (should) phone up Apple and help you further. Apple shouldn't be asking you for such an upfront cost without even looking at your phone as it could be another issue.
    That's me up to date. Sending it off tomorrow, hopefully receive a replaced working phone now.

  • Trouble with slow Macbook Air. I have first generation MacBook Air and have a hard time keeping hard drive from being full. Right now, I have almost 5 gigs available, but mac is slow and I keep getting color wheel when I use Mail. Any suggestions?

    Trouble with slow Macbook Air. I have first generation MacBook Air and have a hard time keeping hard drive from being full. After trashing many docs, I have almost 5 gigs available, but mac is slow and I keep getting color wheel when I use Mail. I'd like to install Lion, but now I'm afraid it will slow down my machine even further. Do I have enough free hard disc space? Is Mail problem related to free hard disc space? Thanks for your help!

    7gb of free disc space is required to install Lion.  Read this about how to free up disc space: http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html.  Also, advice on how to speed up your mac: http://www.maclife.com/article/feature/25_ways_speed_your_mac
