When I updated to Mavericks, both iWorks and Microsoft Office stopped working!

For whatever reason, all of iWorks now "unexpectedly quits", and all of Microsoft Office doesn't "respond". Very frustrating! All my other programs, some of them specialty ones, seem to have faired the upgrade with flying colours, but these crucial core ones I use regularly didn't. In the case of iWorks, I noticed that my older versions of Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are still in my Applicartions folder, but are now inexplicably listed as "copies". Wht's that about? Anyone have any suggestions??

Yes, along with the Mavericks update, all three of the iWork applications, Keynote, Pages, and Numbers, updated as well. The older versions became "Numbers copy", etc, etc in my Application folder. Unfortunately however, the new fancy versions, with the new icons, keep quitting almost immediately upon opening them. Very frustrating!! I noticed that through the App Store it indicates they are 'installed", and won't let me uninstall and retry. Of course, If I delete them, I found out they cost $19.99 each to install. Very annoying. How does one get around this???

IMovie and Microsoft Office NOT WORKING! PLEASE HELP!

Just recently, out of nowhere, my iMovie and Microsoft Office stopped working; they won't turn on. I have Leopard 10.5, and they had been working on it since recently. Whenever I start iMovie, the "This program has quit unexpectedly" window comes up. Here's what I did. Firstly, I reported the problem to Apple and tried relaunching the program. That didn't work. Then, I deleted anything I had downloaded recently that may have affected it. Nothing. Next, I tried going into Library>Preferences and deleting all files with "iMovie" in the name. Nada. I then opened up disk utility and repaired disk permissions; yup, you guessed it, it didn't work. Finally, I archived and reinstalled Leopard, but it's still not working.
As for Microsoft Office, I have only reported the problem and deleted recent downloads. I haven't tried anything else (excluding the Leopard thing) to fix Office.
Please help ASAP! I need both of these applications for an upcoming project... and I may have to see a Mac Genius after this...
This is my last hope!
Thank you so much!

Well, that tells us that it's most likely something in your user account and not with iMovie or Office in general. If you need to get your videos edited right away and don't have time for troubleshooting, you can transfer them to the other account by copying them into the Users -> Shared folder. That would allow you to have access to them from the working account.
As to fixing the problem, you might try asking in the iMovie forum. It's possible that you have a corrupted project that iMovie keeps trying to open by default and that deleting that project might fix the problem. I'm not an iMovie user, though, so I'm not sure. Asking in the iMovie forum will probably get you more informed suggestions.
As to Office, what version is it, and do none of the applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Entourage) launch, or is it just some and if so which one(s)?

TS1702 Both Pages and Numbers have stopped working. seem fine.

Both Pages and Numbers have stopped working. All my other apps seem fine. I can open the initial screen for both apps with the gray background but nothing else functions. I regularly update and sync the iPad and the linked pc.

Before you take the drastic step of restoring your ipad as gire.prasad suggested, it may be that the apps have not fully downloaded to the iPad. First check that the icons on the springboard don't say either "Downloading" or "Installing". If they do, then tap them again to restart the download.
If that doesn't work, go into the Appstore app and find them in the purchased tab. There may be an indicator that allows you to restart the download process there.

Can I install iwork and microsoft office in the same computer?

Can I install iwork and microsoft office in the same computer?

Yes, you can. I have both Microsoft Office and Apple iWork on my computer, and everything works just fine.

I heard about that when you update to mavericks, the Iwork, Numbers and Keynotes are for free, aren't they?

I want to know if Iwork, Numbers and Keynote are for free when you update to Mavericks?

Only if you purchased iWork or a new Mac from October 2013 onwards.

Discrepancies between iwork and microsoft office when viewing

i have saved a document created on iwork as a microsoft word document. However, when opened from microsoft office, the document appears differently - the layout has been changed. Specifically, the content from page one on the iwork file spreads onto page two of the work file, if that makes sense. Is there a way to prevent this? It isn't ideal as it messes up the flow of the document and makes it look messy. Thanks

Even if you maintained exactly the same version of all the fonts which is as close as you are going to get, the difference in rendering engines will mean things will move and some features will not transfer at all.
Correct, of course.
Interestingly, for the poor folks who have produced Microsoft OpenType fonts for OpenType line layout, the problem is that Microsoft Word customers expect to use Microsoft Word as appearance format. This means not only that the font must be enabled for editable embedding, but that as well the simple CMAP Character Map shaping as the supplementary GSUB Glyph Substitution shaping must be communicated so that the measure of the line does not change when one user enables ligation and passes that Word file to another user.
The future for fonts is that full embedding is enforced in appearance-oriented page description models such as PDFXML and XPS, just as tagging of source character strings in the universal character set using unique markers for writing systems is enforced in these models. This direction in development will only work if the direction of demand is changed by education of everyday endusers with regard to replacing the broken Bics on the market with Montblancs -:).

When i upgraded to mavericks I lost my microsoft office

I had office :mac 2011 and when I upgraded to Mavericks it lost my connection with my windows which I use the most. Now it wants me to enter my purchase product key. I have no idea where that is so now what do I do?

Thank you this is what I am doing and since I didn't purchase it directly through them they can not get me the code that I need.
Regardless of the means by which you purchased Office, it's Microsoft's product and Microsoft holds the keys to it (literally). Contact them.
Office 365 is a subscription-based product for which recurring fees must be paid. If you find that Microsoft's licensing requirements make their products inconvenient to use, I recommend that you avail yourself of any number of better alternatives. Some are free, others are nearly so.
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice ($30 but older version is free if you can find it)
OpenOffice (donation-supported)
Numbers, Keynote, Pages - all free with the purchase of a new Mac, $19.99 otherwise. They are designed to integrate with iCloud and complement their iOS versions, also free with the purchase of an iOS device.
All of them read and write their Microsoft equivalent file formats. They require no license keys nor are recurring fees assessed for their continued use.

They're the same.

Yes, especially if you save the document in Word format.
You can also save it in PDF and a simple text file (but the layout could be modified if you open it in Office).

What is the difference between iwork and microsoft office for mac?

I was wondering which one is worth the money.

+I was wondering which one is worth the money.+
It depends on why you want iWork or Office. If you work in a group where Office is the main collaboration app, you need it and it's worth it. If you work independently and don't plan to do much collaboration with Office users, but you still need a nice productivity suite, iWork might be a bargain for you.
There are many situations where buying both Office and iWork is the right choice. If you're not sure what you will do with either one, save your money and use TextEdit. If your needs are very specific, there are many third-party apps that may suit you better than either iWork or Office. If you describe your needs, there are many users here who will be eager to offer specific suggestions.

TS3212 When I updated itunes to the latest version, my itunes stopped working all together. I cannot re-download it, start it up, nothing. I have windows XP.

Itunes does not open I get a runtime erroe. It says:
R6034
An application has mad an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly. Please contack the applications support team for more information.
Nothing works and the error message keeps popping up.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

When I updated to Firefox 5.0, my McAfee software stopped working. How do I get it to work?

I have lost my McAfee protection by updating Firefox. Can I go back to the previous version?

The McAfee Site Advisor 3.3.1 extension was the number 2 cause of crashes in one of the Firefox 5.0 betas and Mozilla Blocklisted it. That extension is disabled in Firefox 5, Firefox 6.0beta, and Firefox 7.0alpha versions. McAfee is working on a new re-written version of the Site Advisor extension to fix their problems - ETA is mid to end of July. https://www.mozilla.com/en-US/blocklist/

My POP email on both Mail and Outlook have stopped working.

I can get the mail on a Windows PC with Outlook. Any ideas?
Thank you.

Thanks Demo, I appreciate your suggestion. Yours was the one idea not covered in this apple support doc
and is the one that worked. Thank you.
Yeah, 'odd' would be an understatement.

I installed yosimite and microsoft word stopped working, how do I fix this?

I open it and I cannot type, how do I fix it?

What version of Microsoft Word is it? If it's 2004, you're SOL. If it's a newer version, you may need to re-install it. I'd say you'd have the best luck with Word 2011.

Apple works or iwork vs. microsoft office for mac

I am a first-time mac user and unfortunately, did not have apple works loaded onto my imac. I did have a beta version of office for mac with which I am familiar. My question, since I was unable to trial apple works or iwork, is whether I should go with office for mac or apple works/iwork? My basic needs are word processing/home use. Hope someone can help me out as I need to purchase something.

AppleWorks and iWork are both less expensive than MS Office.
You should have trial versions of both iWork and MS Office on your iMac, according to this software list from the specifications page:
iLife ’06 (includes iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie HD, iDVD, iWeb, GarageBand),
Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac Test Drive,
iWork (30-day trial),
Quicken 2006 for Macintosh,
Big Bang Board Games,
Comic Life,
Omni Outliner, and
Apple Hardware Test
Although my personal preference is AppleWorks, I'd hesitate to recommend it in your case. Appleworks is not, and likely never will be native to the intel OS X environment, and runs through Rosetta on the new machines. Although it runs well, and is a viable choice for anyone currently using it, AppleWorks is at the end of its development cycle. Unless you need its spreadsheet and database capabilities, you're probably better off looking at Pages in iWork.
Pages is a competent wp and page layout application, and for some long term users of AppleWorks, has become their favourite for this purpose. Pages includes some basic spreadsheet functions in inserted tables.
Office is an 'entrepreneur' level suite of applications, and as such contains a larger feature set in each application than either iWork or AppleWorks. But given your stated needs, it's probably a bigger hammer than you need, and one with a longer and steeper learning curve than you'd want. If you NEED to share files with Windows/MS Office users, there are a couple of free alternatives—OpenOffice.org, which requires you to install X11, Apple's Xwindow implementation, and NeoOffice, which runs in Java, which you will already have installed.
Others may have different recommendations.
Regards,
Barry
