Vicky:  The initial question is why do you want to uninstall Microsoft Office 2004?
If your answer is that you are upgrading to Office 2011, my recollection is that the installation process of Office 2011 will do all of the proper "uninstalling" that is necessary as it installs all of the necessary new files.
If your answer is that you do not intend to ever use Office again, including any of the data files that were created from it: then at this point, I would suggest that you just leave it alone.  Manually uninstalling raises more risks than it cures.
Even if you do upgrade to Office 2011, if you have continuous need to have access to your Office 2004 data files, you may find that Office 2011 does not properly translate some of your old files correctly.  I have this problem with an Excel 2004 chart that I access on a weekly basis and it gets trashed by Office 2011. 
I have solved this problem by installing Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7 in Lion (and reinstalling Office 2004 inside the Snow Leopard environment):

In this way I can access my Excel 2004 chart, modify it as needed and save the changes.

  • How do i completely uninstall microsoft office 2011 from my new macbook pro ?

    I've just recently purchased 2011 for my new 15" Macbook pro but was wandering how to uninstall it as I hardly use it and if I do use word processing/spreadsheet/presentation software I'd much rather use iWork and have office 11 on the disk

    Please note that if Office is being removed to fix a problem prior to re-installing a new copy AppCleaner will not do what is needed, it is important to follow Microsoft's directions exactly, AppCleaner does not.
    Carolyn Samit's link is the correct method.

    How do I load on Office: Mac onto my new MacBook Pro when it doesn't have a disk drive - I don't want to have to purchase another copy.

    Glad you were able to solve your problem. For the benefit of others who may find this discussion later, allow me to suggest another possibility.
    If you have access to another Mac running Lion or Mountain Lion with an optical drive, you should be able to use the Remote Disc feature to access the optical drive on that other Mac.

  • How can I transfer older Microsoft Office docs to my new macbook pro?

    Hi... I had an older macbook pro OS X (10.5.8). The mother board went on it but I was able to transfer all of my files to a passport hard drive. My new, 2013, macbook pro does not accept Microsoft Office apps. Any thoughts... ?
    Thanks, Russell

    Your new MacBook Pro supports Microsoft Office. The problem is that it only supports Office 2008 and 2011, because Office 2004 and older are PowerPC apps.
    Now, if you really need to work with Office documents and you need the highest number of features possible, go for Office 2011 > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
    However, if you have basic needs, I recommend you to install LibreOffice. It's free and open-source, and it works with Office files without any problem

  • How do I uninstall QT 7.1.3 on a MacBook Pro?!!

    How do I uninstall QT 7.1.3 on a MacBook Pro?
    It does not play nice with a very important piece of software I am using.
    The other post on how to "uninstall" does not apply to my situation. I tried it and got this error when using the 7.0.1 Reinstaller:
    "Your computer does not have the hardware required to run this software"
    Help please.

    Flash support is disabled (by default) in version 7.1.3.
    To turn it back on simply open the QT Sys Prefs Pane/Advanced and check the box to "Enable Flash".
    Quit and restart QT for these changes to take effect.
    QuickTime only supports Flash (.swf files) that are "published" as version 5, or lower.

  • I received an email containing a spreadsheet created using Mac Office 2004 on my new MacBook Air equipped with Mac Office 2011.  When I saved the document, my Finder lists the document without the .xls file extension. Why?

    I received an email containing a spreadsheet created using Mac Office 2004 on my new MacBook Air equipped with Mac Office 2011.  When I saved the document, my Finder lists the document without the .xls file extension. Why?
    All other .xls documents created by Mac Office 2004 retained the .xls file extention when I migrated them over to the new MacBook Air.

    I know what happened.  When I saved the document I somehow hit the Hide File Extension box.  Sorry to trouble this group. I simply resaved it w/o activating the Hide File Extension feature.

  • Microsoft office 2007 downloaded to new MacBook air

    Microsoft office 2007 downloaded to new MacBook air, when I click on the downloaded file it just says format not supported. I have this program on my MacBook Pro and it works fine. Thoughts?

    Only, the 2008 and 2011 versions of Office for Mac will run on your MacBook Air.
    There is no MS Office 2007 for Mac, only Windows.
    Try this link
    You will need a valid product key, once the trial expires.

  • How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    How can I sync my iPad 2 with my new MacBook Pro when it is already synced with my old MacBook? I am getting a message on the new MacBook Pro that says I am not allowed to sync the iPad 2 because it is synced to another iTunes library.

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.

  • How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that came over when the data on my iMac was migrated to the new computer.

    How do I remove old applications from my new Macbook Pro that were part of the data that was migrated over from my older iMac?
    Thanks

    If the applications were originally drag and drop installations you can simply drag them to the trash and empty. If they were installed by an installer there should be an uninstaller included. If you're not sure you should check with the software developer for instructions. In this case Google can be your friend.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Gary

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Most of YouTube videos support HTML5, so activate HTML5 > http://www.youtube.com/html5
    If after turning on HTML5 you can't watch videos, download Flash > http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer Then, close Safari, install Flash and restart the MacBook Pro. Finally, try to watch a video in YouTube

  • Can I use Office:Mac 2004 with my new MacBook Pro

    I just got a brand new MacBook Pro, and I'm trying to install my office:mac 2004 edition, but it seems to not be working. Do I have to repurchace office:mac or can I just upgrade. 

    The 2004 version of Office will not work on Mac OS X Lion (10.7) or Mountain Lion (10.8) because it uses Power PC code. Power PC support was dropped in Lion and later. Version 2008 or 2011 should work fine.
