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. However, I didn't run safari when I was installing the office. What am I going to do to install the office?

This was a good hint with the activity Monitor, i had closed Safari but had Not Seen the Light bue Button below Safari and the activity Monitor showed 7 threads being ongoing. After closing Safari safely the installation was Done in a jiffy thanks a Lot :)

  • 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(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.

  • I installed Office 2011 on my new I-mac.  Excell will not open???

    I installed Office 2011 on my new Mac,  Why will Excel not open?

    First restart the Mac, then try to start Excel again, if it fails go to Mactopia Downloads for Office 2011, download all updates for Office 2011, (there are 3) apply the in order (14.02 is first, 14.13 last) follow the instructions, you may have to restart your computer more than once.
    Oh, and if it does start when you try it is still important to do the updates.

  • I am not able to close Microsoft Database Daemon or SyncServicesAgent applications to install Office 2011 14.4.1 update.  Could you assist me?  Thanks in advance

    I am not able to close Microsoft Database Daemon or SyncServicesAgent applications to install Office 2011 14.4.1 update.  Could you assist me?  Thanks in advance

    The updater should close those processes for you - it didn't used to do so but should now.
    If it won't quit the processes for you, open Activity Monitor (Applications>Library folder), search for the processes and quit them. You should be able to install the update now.
    I just find it odd that the updater isn't quitting the processes on its own..

  • Installing Office 2011 on iMac

    Does anyone know which additional file I need in order to install Office 2011 on my iMac? I downloaded the MS suite but can't install it because Mac needs some other file in order to do the install. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

    Csound1,
    The message states "Office 2011 14.3.9 update can't be installed on this disk. A version of the software required to install this update was not found on this volume."
    Thanks,

  • Problem Installing Office 2011

    I'm having a problem installing Office 2011 on a 11" MacBook Air running OS 10.7.2. I've tried installing from a remote disk with the Office CD and installing a trial version downloaded from the Office website but neither has worked.
    Everything seems to install correctly, but when you try to click on any icon to start up, the icon bounces once or twice, then nothing else happens.
    Any ideas?

    See if anyone here can help you: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/support 

  • Installed Office 2011, now Times New Roman is whacked in Pages '09

    I finally had to cave in and install Office 2011 to edit a complex docx that was sent to me. But now all the Times New Roman font in all of my Pages documents have morphed into a very ugly spaced-out mess. Is there any way to return my files to their previous format?

    thanks for the tip. I seem to have fixed the problem in the documents, but it was not what you thought. There was only 1 Times New Roman in the font book. I right-clicked on it and now all my text is OK (I have no idea what I did, except the font list flashed to Calibri, what Word 2011 is using as a default). BUT, both before and after this fix, the listing for Times New Roman in the font book appears as a bunch of pictographs of symbol keys. My main problem is solved (for now...), but I am not declaring the question answered until the font list weirdness is gone.

  • I can't install Office 2011 on my retina MBP. Any ideas?

    I can't install Office 2011 on my retina MBP. Any ideas?

    It's a Retina MBP that has no aftermarket software on it. I'm trying to install Office 2011 from the install DVD. The message (unhelpfully), at what one hopes is the end of the install says that there has been an error and the install has failed. I have disabled the privacy setting to allow the MBP to accept installs from "anywhere" to no avail.
    The disc goes in fine and the process starts but ends with a install failed message.

  • Unable to Install Office 2013 Pro and I get returned message "Couldn't Install We're sorry, we had a problem installing your office programs"

    I purchased 40 licenses of Office 2013 Pro from a vendor in the US and received 40 product keys along with the URL to download the software - 1 for each pc activation codes.  I have done a few and were all successful.  I am now trying
    install on 2 other pcs and I am having real difficulty and getting error message each time I try to install.  I am able to download the installer and copied to my desktop and when I double click to execute it, it gives me the option to run on the next
    screen.  I click on run then it gives me the message " do you want to allow the program to make changes to this computer".  When I press YES, nothing happens and minutes later, I get the flwg message everytime, "Couldn't
    install"  "We're sorry, we had a problem installing your office programs.  Is your internet connection working?  Do you have enough free space on your main hard drive?  Please try installing again after you've checked the above. 
    Go online for additional help.
    I have lots of space and my pc is Win 7 64 bit new machine.  I have connection to internet and I was able to get the others done.  What is the problem here and I have been trying to work late night hours to try to install the program and I am unable
    to successfully get it to work.  I receive the same message every time and I followed all the recommended troubleshoot steps I found on the internet.  Someone please help.  I have to install all for all the PCs we have for our organization. 
    Please respond because I am really stuck.

    Hi Gabe,
    First, please check the suggestion above is helpful. I also suggest you removing all version of Office and re-install Office 2013.
    We can try to run the application as an administrator and check if it works.
     1. Right click the shortcut of the application or the main application.
     2. Select properties.
     3. Select compatibility tab and select "Run this program as an administrator."
    If there is anything I can do for you about this issue, don't hesitate to tell me.
    Best regards,

  • Installing Office 2011-Says software for installation not available

    I've seen this same issue posted, but never found a resolution to the problem.   Office 2011 14.3.9 will not install on Mac Air that is running OS X Version 10.8.5.   Message says that the software needed for installation is not available on my computer.

    What version of Office do you now have? You must have 14.3.8 to install 14.3.9. And 14.3.8 requires 14.3.7, etc.

  • I have Mac 10.6.8 wih Office for Mac 2004. I tried to install Office 2011 but the computer rejects the disc.Please help.

    Mac OSX 10.6.8 2.66 GHz Intel Core Duo; Memory-2GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    I  have been using Office 2004 for a long time, and about three years ago purchased the then new Office 2011 . I installed it but did not like it and removed it from my computer, Now I would like to install it--the computer rejects the disc. Is there anything I am doing wrong? How canI make it work.  Using spotlight, I did not find any traces of the old installation.  Thank you!

    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
      1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
          left mouse button until the disc ejects.
      2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
      3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
      4. Press COMMAND-E.
      5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
          your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
            /usr/bin/drutil eject
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.
    Visit www.mactopia.com where you can download the trial version of Office 2011. Install it then register it using your registration number that you have for the DVD.
    It would be a good idea to uninstall Office 2004, but it shouldn't be necessary. You can dump the old Office 2004 folder in your Applications folder.

  • 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.

  • How do i close microsoft database daemon and syncservicesagent to install office 2011

    I am trying to install update 14.3.2 for Office 2011, but keep getting notice to close MSFT database daemon and syncservicesagent.  Can't figure out how to do this.

    The easiest way is to do it using Activity Monitor, an app that it's stored on /Applications/Utilities. Just open it, search the processes that belong to "Microsoft Database Daemon" and "syncservicesagent", and kill them.
    If you don't want to use Activity Monitor or you don't want headaches, another possibility is to install this Office update in safe mode, to make sure that no Office for Mac processes are opened. To start in safe mode, hold the Shift key while your computer is starting until you see the Apple logo. Then, log in your admin user, install the Office for Mac update and restart as usual
