Unable to install Office 2011(365) on Macbook Pro Yosemite

Hello,
I'm unable to install Office 2011 (as an invitation for Office 365) on my Macbook Pro retina 10.10.1.
Everything goes well until I get to the install part and the setup does not ask me for password, effectively halting the installation. What can I do?
I tried to download 2 times, use safe boot... I can install any program (including Outlook) but not Office 2011... help?
I uploaded a video of my 11th try to youtube...

In Pictures:
It goes well until this part:
But this never appears:
This is an admin user trying to install.

Just installed Office 2011 on my MacBook Pro Retina and now Safari does not work

Just installed Micro Office 2011 on my 13" MacBook Retina and now Safari is not working correctly. Pages load very slowly or not at all.
Any idea of what's wrong?
Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up guest users” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Hi I'm trying to install Office 2011 on my MacBook Pro. I'm running OSX Lion and When I click the .dmg file it opens and when I click the office installer file it just open my "terminal" that's all. Nothing happens. Please help me out. I really need this.

Hi this has become a big problem for me. iWork doesn't work eaither. Please hel me to solve this proble. Thank you.

Sounds like a Windows installer. Does it say Mac on the disk? When you open the dmg, does it say Office:Mac?

Unable to install Office 2011 on newly installed HD

I had to replace a dead hard drive on my old 2007 iMac. Now I am unable to install Office 2011 on an iMac that had this version of office before the old HD died. I know there are restrictions on the number of installations. Must I purchase Office 2011 again or is there another legal option?

How is the program failing to install? You should be able to install the program no matter what, but when you run it you should get an activation window. At this point you'd enter your serial number ... and depending on how Microsoft is creating its special ID code for each computer, the new drive may or may not make the activation computer think you are activating a different computer.
If the problem is that you cannot even install the program, you should be able to download it from Microsoft's website and use your serial number to reactivate. If the activation fails you can call Microsoft and explain the situation. This is something I've done frequently since I also work with Windows. In most cases a quick explanation of the circumstances resolves the issue.

Unable to install office 2011

I am a new iMac user and have a clean upgrade to Lion. I tried to install office 2011 by DVD and when the progress upto 70%, a window pops up saying that office cannot be installed when safari is loading on the background.

I am unable to install Snow Leopard on a MacBook Pro

Hi
I am unable to update to Snow Leopard on my MacBook Pro. I have 2 GB of RAM. When I boot from the install disc I get an error message that this OS cannot be installed on this machine. Sorry, I don't have the error verbatim.
Am I missing something in the system requirements?
Is there another OS I need to install prior to installing SL?
Thanks
Andrew

Not impossible, but not likely, either.
I don't know why people keep telling me that what I saw couldn't have happened or is very unlikely. Whatever.
There are not many third party applications that can interfere with this, although maybe there are a few hacks & system 'enhancers' that could.
Little Snitch is not something that most people would call a "hack", and lots of people use it. I meant to quit it, and any other third-party background processes, but forgot. Shortly after I started the Snow Leopard installation, I _saw it block a connection attempt_ by the installer. I allowed the connection, but nonetheless something went wrong. When everything completed and my machine restarted, I still had 10.5.8... absolutely nothing had changed. (I'm not complaining about the "nothing changed" part... I could have ended up with a destroyed system and I didn't.)
I rebooted from the SL disk, repeated the installation and everything went fine.
Moral of the story? Do your system installs in the most controlled environment possible, which means rebooting from the disk.

HT5639 Unable to install windows 8 in my Macbook pro 13" .. after the upgrade ..:(

I have updated my Mountain Lion (10.8.3) yesterday .. which includes the latest Bootcamp update which allows the user to install Windows8.
Am unable to install Windows8 .. "Windows 8 is not supported on this Mac" .. My MacBook Pro is ..13-inch, Mid 2010.
Any idea ????

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634 Mid 2010 and newer MacBooks Pro support Windows 8, except the Mid 2010 13-inch MacBook Pro, so unfortunately, you can't install Windows 8 officially on your computer.
However, Windows 8 is completely compatible with your computer, but Apple didn't want to provide compatibility for your MacBook. There are some guides in Macs forums (I think there's one here) that helps you to install Windows 8 on your unsupported computer through Boot Camp, installing the Boot Camp drivers, too. Do that at your own risk

Cannot install office 2008 on new Macbook pro.

I have just received my new macbook pro 17 inch. I"ve installed the bundled apps cd, but when I try to install Mac Office 2008, I receive the following error:
Microsoft office for Mac can't be installed on this disk. newer-version-installed message.
I'm running Snow leopard 10.6.4 and have only installed firefox and AIM besides the software that came with the mac.
I've searched the Mac and cannot find any reference to Microsoft or office 2008. I've also gone through the "Remove office 2008 manually" from the Microsoft website and again have not found any files or folders they referred to.
Does anyone know what else I can do to solve this issue?

Hi baltwo,
However, running Remove Office might do the trick.
I mentioned it anyway because I've seen posts in the past here where the same thing happened. The OP had manually deleted everything they could find, but still couldn't install without either running the Remove Office tool, or going the Draconian route and formatting the drive, reinstalling everything from scratch.
I think that happens if you've opened any Office trial app. It must put a hidden file on the drive somewhere that tracks your 30 day usage from there. If it does exist, then using the Remove Office tool is the only way to get it off the hard drive so you can install the full version.

How do I download microsoft office 2011 on a macbook pro without the cd?

I have bought a microsoft office 2011 program. I wonder how I can download this on my comupter without using the cd?

Get a external cd drive or return the cd to the store and download it instead.
If you don't exactly need to use Office, there is a great donationware/free alternative that is compatible and totally cross platfrom (Linux, Windows and OS X) so your files are never locked up.
See LibreOffice here

Cannot install Office 2011 business on Mac Pro OS X Mavericks

I have read quite a few different solutions that people have posted to allow Mac Office 2011 to install, but none seem to work for me. I have tried safe mode. I can't uninstall because it is a new install, brand new setup, but it won't install for me. I don't know where to turn. Anybody else have success in installing it on a brand new latest machine?

That would depend on your settings for your VM, I guess. I'm sure it can be tweaked...
