  • Can't find 2011 Microsoft Office product key after using Time Machine

    I just upgraded my macbook pro to a 512gb crucial ssd. In order for me to do this without downloading any other software off the internet, I bought an external drive and had time machine back up everything. I installed the SSD, started up the computer and had time machine do its thing and booted everything up onto the ssd. Everything went perfectly up, until I went to open up any Microsoft Office application because they required I put in the product key. The last time I put in the product key was when I first bought the macbook pro about 4 years ago(I installed everything using the disc). What I tried to do was boot the computer using the old hard drive and we have the same story.... I need a product key that I don't have. I even tried installing a product key finder and it found no Microsoft Office product key.
    Tomorrow my plan is to use time machine to bring me back to the couple minutes before I setup the new SSD. Before I do that, I want to know what your opinions are on this matter or more importantly, what should I do?
    Thanks in advance.

    Read the instructions that came with your PIN - they tell you how to get the Product Key from the MS Shop (I think it comes from there, anyhow!)
    This link may work... https://office2010.getmicrosoftkey.com/
    If not, please repost your query in the more appropriate Office Community forums here...

  • 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)?

  • How can I organize my Microsoft Office products on my dock?

    Hello,
    Does anyone know how to organize Microsoft Office products (Word, PPT, Excel) into a single fan on right side of dock? Or do the 3 Office products have to take up 3 spots on the dock?
    Thank you for any help!

    Drag the Microsoft Office folder to that part of the Dock. Or create a new folder (anywhere you like), put alises to those three programs in that folder, then drag that folder to the Dock.
    Regards.

    Hi,
    I know there is rather extensive integration possiblities avialable for Adobe Document Services (ADS) in GP. I read somewhere that it is also possible to integrate other products.

  • Recently bought new macbook pro , transferred data over and thought microsoft office would work on new laptop. Icons are there , although don't have my key codes!! should i just buy new software package ?

    recently bought new macbook pro , transferred data over and thought microsoft office would work on new laptop. Icons are there , although requires key codes and I don't have my key codes anymore as dog chewed the packaging!! should i just buy new software package ?  I am told that this is a microsoft issue not a mac issue !! But all my other data on the old macbook pro transferred over even the icons for office for mac on the bottom app bar. only now I can't open any of my word or excel files without key code! I thought that there may have been something that could be done before having to bite the bullet and fork out for new software package.??

    If this is Office for Mac 2011 then it will work on your new computer. Reinstall it. If you don't have the key code call Microsoft's activation line to get a new key code. Explain that you lost the original key code and want to install Office on your new computer.

  • Does microsoft office 2011 work with mountain lion?

    Was wondering if Microsoft Office 2011 works with Mountain Lion since the 1997 version does not.

    Okay, I will try that.  It looks like I have installed it twice already.  An obvious novice. I will do it again though.

  • Does microsoft office 2011 work with lion

    does microsoft office 2011 work with lion

    ...since upgrading from a Macbook pro to a retina pro (with the latest OS) I cannot get Outlook to work, it freezes when I try to add my email accounts info...
    The latest OS is 10.8.2. You've posted in the Lion (OS 10.7.x) forum.
    ...I don't have a clue what can be going wrong, it was all working fine on my macbook pro with Snow Leopard and the same setup is not working with Mountain Lion on the retina, ...The only reason I upgraded from Office 2008 was because I couldn't get it to stop closing down every few seconds with 'a problem'...
    Different operating systems canNOT be the "same setup."
    In my original installation of Office 2011 on a 2007 MBP with OS 10.6.8, I followed the guidelines Tips for a Successful Install. In launching Outlook 2011 for the first time, it recognized that I had Entourage 2004 and I was chose the option to have all the data transferred to Outlook 2011. While that was well over a year ago, I'm fairly certain that I did not need to manually set up my multitude of existing email accounts. Subsequently, I've added new accounts. A couple of months ago, I got a new mid-2012 MBP (non-retina) with OS 10.7.4. I used Pondini's advice , which I found here in the Apple Support Community for OS 10.7, to setup the new MBP from the old MBP with Setup Assistant. Afterwards, I manually installed my applications. I am certain that I did not need to manually setup any email accounts when I launched Outlook 2011.
    That said, if you did not fix the problem that you were experiencing with Office 2008 (and more specifically Entourgage 2008) but migrated that data to your new rMBR, then your problem may lie within the old data. You have not provided information on how you installed Office 2011, if your setup of Outlook is as new or datea ported from Entourage, and what troubleshooting steps you have tried. As Kurt Lang suggested, the Microsoft Community would be best with your specific issues as stated.

  • How to retrieve Microsoft Office Product Key  for Mac

    Hi there, Hopefully someone might have a suggestion on how to retrieve the Microsoft Office Product Key for Office 2010 on Mac.
    Scenario:  Last month, Apple advised me my iMac hard drive may be faulty and would need replacing.  That was done, I restored my iMac from Timeline backup and everything is dandy except I need the Product Key for Office to access any of my documents.  I purchased the product online in my old job, that email address is now no longer valid and I have lost access to the email that the product key was emailed to me in.  I am unable to retrieve the product key from Microsoft without buying a new copy.
    I do have Office uploaded on my Macbook Air from the same download/product key, so I have access to the program on the laptop but not the iMac.  Hopefully I can get the product key from the laptop somehow.
    Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks :-)

    As Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
    Office for Mac forums
    Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.

    Apple, now loosing old supporters and customers ? Or am I getting too old ?
    A 4 year old Macbook Pro should run Lion. Unless its a CoreDue and not a Core2Duo. Remember that PPC computers can not even run Snow Leopard. This was when Apple announced that support for PPC programs would be phased out. Office 2004 is almost 8 years old now. Twice as old as your computer you say needs to be replaced. I can't believe people rush in to install a new system without doing a little bit of research, and the dropping of Rosetta to run old PPC programs was well advertised if you read up on Lion, as was the introduction of Mission Control and Versions. I even read up about them, and I'm not a professional like some who come here. May pay to remember to research in future releases.
    Good Luck

  • Why doesn't Microsoft Office Work?

    I have Microsoft Office 2008 on my IMAC and now that I upgraded to Mountain Lion I get a message that says
    Power PC Apps no longer supported. What is Apple trying to do? Get me to buy Apple's word program?

    Sounds like you really have Microsoft Office 2004.  Your options are:
    1.  Restore your old version of OS X that worked with Microsoft Office 2004.
    2.  Either partion your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and "dual-boot" into Snow Leopard when you need Office 2004.
    3.  Upgrade to Office 2011 and/or replace with another Office Suite; and/or
    4.  Install Snow Leopard into Parallels 7:
