"Upgraded" to Lion OS X 10.7.2:  Word doesn't work!

i need help figuring out how to open my word documents now that i have upgraded to Lion OS X... If I buy "pages" will that program be able to open my word documents?

Lion does not work with Office lower than 2008.  Best is with Office 2011.  Lion does not have Rosetta so does not support PPC compatible software.
Current Pages should open .doc files and be compatible with Lion.

  • I have an iphone 3GS and I have upgraded it to iOS 6. Since then it doesn't work properly. Every now and then it has been restarting by itself and requiring restore. When I connect it to itunes it restarts again and again. Is there any solution?

    Hey, There are afew things you can try.
    - Simply turn your phone off and back on again
    - Hold down your home button and your lock button and let goes as soon as the screen goes black (Phone will power down) - Then turn on your phone and hey presto!
    - Back up your iPhone to your PC, then restore it..
    this ones last cause I think you may have tried it already..
    - Close all open applications
    Hope this helps!

  • Upgraded to os x 10.8.5 and sound doesn't work

    upgraded to OS x 10.8.5 and sound doesn't work.
    I had reload the OS before the upgrade and I could play anything on the laptop. Now, the speakers do not work at all except with the startup sound.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article.
    2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and a red light is coming from it, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    3. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    4. Reset the NVRAM.
    5. Reset the SMC.
    6. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
    7. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • Will I lose my photos in iPhoto if upgrade to a latest version? I have upgraded my system to Mavericks and now my iPhoto doesn't work. Can anyone help, please?

    Will I lose my photos in iPhoto if upgrade to a latest version? I have upgraded my system to Mavericks and now my iPhoto doesn't work. Can anyone help, please?

    Most Simple Back Up:
    Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
    Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
    Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

  • Since Lion installation the remote control first generation, doesn't work as usually. On Leopard when I pushed the menu button, it opened a menu that showed music, films, photo. Now it doesn't work anymore. Is there anyone to explain me why this happen?

    Since Lion installation the remote control first generation, doesn't work as usually. On Leopard when I pushed the menu button, it opened a menu that showed music, films, photo. Now it doesn't work anymore. Is there anyone to explain me why this happen? Thank you.

    Sadly Snow Leopard was the last OS X to have Front Row and it is no longer offered in Lion or Mountain.
    see > Farewell Front Row | Macworld
    If you want, you can get it back with some tweaking.
    see > Get Front Row for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion
    or > Use Front Row In OS X Lion
    Also note: that your remote should still be working for waking the Mac, volume control and iTunes...? If it is not, let us know for help with it.

  • Late 2010 MacBook Pro 15", upgraded to Lion on Sat 23rd no external display does not work

    Hi all,
    Wanted to ask this question here see if anyone might have a solution to my problem.  I have a Late 2010 Macbook Pro 15" which I upgraded to Lion yesteray.  Ever since that upgrade when I try to connect to my TV to watch a video no joy the image looks like the colours are out.
    I have tried it on different resolutions and always the same.  Then for some reason the MacBook Pro split the screen in two.  So now I see the right of the screen on the left of the TV and the left on the righ with a big black line done the middle.
    Priror to the Lion upgrade everything was fine.  Only since Lion has this been a problem.
    I am using a Minidisply to HDMI cable to go direct into my Phillips 42" Plasma, and I have not got a clue why this is doing this.  The strange thing is it works ok on my Samsung BX2450 down the same cable no problems at all just the TV that has issues.
    Any suggestions?
    Cheers

  • I upgraded to mountain lion, now my mini dvi to hdmi doesn't work

    I installed mountain lion and now my mini dvi to hdmi doesn't work.  I did a disk permission repair, but that didn't help.  Any suggestions?

    My internet card will only work on 32bit,and it sounds like mountain lion only works on 64bit so that must be my problem. I think I will have to upgrade my internet or go back to lion.

  • Since upgrading to Lion 10.7.3 my USB ports don't work for anything. Any ideas?

    I have been a long-term (nearly 25 years) Apple User, so am reasonably familiar with the system. I upgraded about 1 week ago with an automatic update to Lion and since then I have had massive problems using the USB ports on my Mac Pro (which is from 2009). At first this affected every USB port and I couldn't use my keyboard or mouse, but since restarting a couple of times, and repeatedly inserting and removing them into the various rear ports, I can use these plugged in via monitor cable.
    However, the USB ports for other devices are extremely problematic and frustrating as nothing seems to work consistently on them. This affects all devices that I usually access (and which all worked seamlessly before upgrade), including my iPhone (which will power up but not be recognized when plugged into any front or rear port), external drives, cameras, and my printer. However, for the printer only (a Brother MFC 9840) it will work some times if I restart the computer, but not others. I have tried rebooting, switching ports, using other cables, changing power cords. I have read multiple threads on USB issues with Lion for a solution including those to do with printers (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3301218?start=0&tstart=0), those to do with external drives (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3510032?start=30&tstart=0), and even those to to with modems (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3164614?start=0&tstart=0). Despite this, I note that there appear to be no consistent solutions reported and that in other support threads including reseting PRAM. I do see many more problems than I would have expected.
    I don't know if this is related, but after the upgrade I also had problems with Outlook not working, but for some reason that seemed to stop after a couple of days. Just in case I also checked to see if I was affected by the malware program (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3856206?tstart=30), but thankfully I am not.
    I am sure this has to do with the upgrade to Lion 10.7.3, and have been expecting something from Apple to address these issues, but nothing so far. I am completely lost for solutions, and any help gratefully received.
    Slightly unrelated, but again speaking to a possible change in culture in Apple that has seen upgrades cause more problems than they solve, I am also affected by the change from MobileMe to iCloud and the loss of push e-mail. For those not aware, this has been an issue for more than 6 months, and on the discussion there are now 35 pages of comments, and no solution in sight (https://discussions.apple.com/message/18050375?ac_cid=142432#18050375).

    Generally speaking, a full recharge and reboot after the recharge will solve the issue with the ports.  Many ports will also start to fail if you leave devices hooked up to them when the machine is asleep.  Unfortunately, many non-Apple devices don't understand the low power mode ports go into after Energy Saver is woken up, and only a reboot solves that problem.

  • I just upgraded to lion, and now my wi-fi printers don't work. How do I get Lion to find them again?

    How can I get Lion to find my wifi printers?  When I upgraded to Lion, I could no longer print to them.

    did you run software update to see if any new drivers are available?

  • I recently upgraded to mac os x lion. But now my broadband pen doesn't work. I'm portuguese and i use the vodafone network. Can anybody help me?

    Hello.
    My name is Margarido and i'm portuguese. I use a mobile operator named zon to access the web using a broadband pen modem.
    This operator uses the vodafone technical support (network) and since i upgraded to the Mac OS X Lion, the pen modem doesn´t work.
    Can anybody help me?
    I eared that Mac OS X Lion doesn´t support pen modems yet. Is this true?
    Thank you.

    Your best bet is to call the Vodafone technical support helpline. Since each manufacturer writes custom software for each OS. They might be working on new drivers...

  • Hi just upgraded to lion , now i can't use "word" can this be for real?

    hi just upgraded to lion, now i cant use "word" help please

    If it's Word 2004 or earlier, it's for real. That is a PPC app and it is no longer supported in Lion. You need an Intel version of Office. You and a lot of others who didn't know are out in the cold.

  • Since upgrading to Lion on start multiple programs open (word, excel, mail, power point) any fixes?

    Since upgrading to Lion every time I start my Mac  multiple programs open (word, excel, mail, power point) any fixes?

    Yeah, but when it CRASHES  and you have to hold the power button, all the apps restart.  I have 8GB and it's swap-city.
    To make matters worse, it appears there's a bug in Lion Mail.  It opens a compose window for every email I sent in the previous session.  We're talking dozens and dozens of windows.
    Maybe try posting your own question on this as it is unrelated to this post. Never seen it before, so if you require help, then open a new topic.
