What Microsoft Office upgrade (from 2004) do I need for OS Lion?

I have a new MacBook Pro with OS Lion.  I migrated files and applications from my MacBook with Leopard.  Microsoft Office 2004 will not work with Lion.  Should I just bite the bullet and buy the latest version of Microsoft Office or is there an upgrade?

Good luck with it...the install went without a hitch for me.  Just the usual pain putting in the ridiculous activation code
Happy holidays.

  • Microsoft Office upgrade from 2007 to 2010

    Hi Guys,
    I want to upgrade the office 2007 to office 2010 in multiple computers at once. Its a domain environment, we have approx 250 computers.
    Do we have any option to upgrade or install office 2010 without going onto computer to computer. The sad part is I don't have SCCM. Can we do it from any other way or from domain controller?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    As Don suggested above, you can use Group Policy computer startup scripts to accomplish this.
    As a supplement, I would like to share this
    blog post with you, which includes detailed steps on how to perform an uninstall-upgrade to Office 2010.
    For enterprise customers, we strongly recommend the Uninstall-upgrade option instead of the In-place upgrade option.
    Regards,

    It's recommended to download and install
    Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office
    programs.

    More possible bad news.  If you had followed what fane_j had asked you to do you might have found out it wasn't microsoft's fault for your problem and wouldn't have had to spend $150.  Because while you may have an Office that works, fane_j was not suggesting a solution but probing for a trojan (google "flashback trojan") that has been crashing powerpc code which is what Office 2004 is.
    So if you do have the trojan, while you can run a version of Office, the trojan may still be in your system since installing a version of Office isn't going to remove it.  So I'll make another request.  Launch Terminal (in your Utilities folder) and copy/paste the following line into the terminal window and hit return:
    defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment
    If you see anything other than a "does not exist" error message you almost certainly do have the trojan and post the results in this thread.
    The choice is yours.  You can ignore this and take the risk.  Or do what has been requested.

  • Need Icloud so what is best upgrade from snow leopard

    I don't have icloud with Snow Leopard so what is best upgrade from snow leopard. Is there a better way to get Icloud?

    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion or Mountain Lion to Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8, Lion, or Mountain Lion installed. Purchase and download Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mavericks
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table — RoaringApps.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mavericks, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.

  • What steps do i need to take to upgrade from OS X 10.5.8 to Lion?

    Hi
    Does anyone know what steps I need to take to upgrade from OS X 10.5.8 to Lion?
    Lisa

    First check to see if your Mac meets the basic system requirements for Lion:
    General requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space

    Once you have satisfied yourself that you have the hardware to run it then you can take the next steps which will be to get upgraded to Snow Leoppard in order to have the App Store on the computer.

  • How to upgrade from os x 10.6.8 to Lion os 10.7.2

    How to upgrade from os x 10.6.8 to Lion os 10.7.2?

    Open the Mac App Store and try downloading Yosemite. If you get told it's incompatible, choose About this Mac from the Apple menu, check if the computer has at least a Xeon or Core 2 Duo(not Core Duo) CPU and 2GB of RAM, and if it does, click here and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
    Back up your data and check your applications for compatibility before upgrading. In particular, Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC programs such as versions of Microsoft Office prior to 2008.
    Unless you previously got an installer for Mac OS X 10.7 through 10.7.2, you can only upgrade to a newer version.

    Help

    Audiobooks are currently a one-time only download (which I think is a requirement from audible.com who supply them). Have you not got them on a backup ? If not (and I don't know if this is what you've already tried) then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

    I want to use microsoft office on my mac. I need it to run on windows platform. Which is better: boot camp or parallels 7 ?

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    You can install Office for Mac. If you don't want it, Boot Camp uses all the hardware, so it has the best performance for Windows, and Parallels allows you to run Windows in Mac without reboot and without Boot Camp. To use only this, download Parallels

  • Just installing a few updates from the Mac App Store for mountain lion on my 2010 MacBook Pro, during this it made a noise and then the screen and keyboard went off, like it is off. What happened, is it off...or should I just wait it out?

    Just installing a few updates from the Mac App Store for mountain lion on my 2010 MacBook Pro, during this it made a noise and then the screen and keyboard went off, like it is off. What happened, is it off...or should I just wait it out?

    What kind of noise?
    The only things I can think of that make noise are fans and disks. Fans usually will not cause the computer to shutdown as you describe. My guess is your disk drive died. I hope you made a backup prior to start the ungrade.

  • Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion?

    Can I upgrade from Photoshop CS2 to CS5 after installing Lion?   Or should I have done it before installing Lion?

    I think you are missing my point.
    For the last many editions of the creative suite they have each been completely independent. There is no "going over a previous version. Each version stands on its own and is a clean install — as long as you haven't installed that specific version before.
    And "obsolete" is a pretty relative term. With products as complex as the creative suite there are often features (or even whole applications) that change between versions. Many people I know keep earlier versions around, just for that very reason.

  • I want to Upgrade from 10.5.8 OS (Leopard) to Lion through Snow Leopard (10.6, 10.6.3)

    I want to Upgrade from 10.5.8 OS (Leopard) to Lion, and I know I have to Upgrade to Snow Leopard first: can I buy the 10.6.3 installer or do I have to buy the 10.6? Is the same thing? Will they work the same way if I have a 10.5.8?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    The Snow Leopard disc which Apple sells includes OS X 10.6.3, so don't worry about that. Also, if you buy a Snow Leopard disc with 10.6, updates until 10.6.8 are completely free through  > Software Update. You can buy Mac OS X Snow Leopard at the Apple Online Store > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Make a backup before upgrading. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install the latest version. After updating to 10.6.8, you will be able to upgrade to Lion (call Apple to purchase Lion) or Mountain Lion (you can purchase OS X Mountain Lion in the App Store)

    Everyone keeps talking about an upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard for $29 but I cannot find it anywhere-any suggestions?

    Good news for current buyers ... single user SL is down to $19, 5-user family-pack is down to $29 ... I would buy the 5-user license to avoid need ing to buy it again after Apple stops selling it.
