Why did Word from Microsoft Word 2004 suddenly not work?

Are you using 10.6.8?
Did you install last weeks apple security update 2012-001 and not re-update the revised 1.1 version?

  • Any suggestions why my Mac stopped being able to burn DVDs?

    I'm trying to use my external Sony DVD read/write drive (DRX-840U model) to burn a DVD.
    So I click on my disk image in Disk Utility and press burn, then I insert the blank DVD in the drive. But, today, instead of going ahead with the next dialog box (the burn speed, if I remember correctly), I'm stuck on the dialog box for
    Burn Disc in: MATSHITA CD-RW CW-8123
    Waiting for a disc to be inserted...
    The Matshita is my internal drive (which can only burn CDs, not DVDs), so my Mac no longer knows that my external drive can burn DVDs.
    The Sony drive is connected by USB. If I put a blank DVD in it, eventually I get a dialog box from the Finder that asks what action I want to take. I can select Open Disk Utility, and I'll see my Sony DVD RW DRU-840A Media in the list of drives. So OS X "sees" the drive. If I click on the Sony drive in Disk Utility, the description I'm getting is that Write Ability is "Read Only (Unknown)." I'm using the same set of blank DVDs that I've used for the last 3-4 months without problems.
    So my questions are:
    1) Will someone who has a RW drive go to disk utility and confirm that for their DVD writer, is the write ability property is Read/Write?
    2) Does anyone have any ideas what would cause the drive to no longer know how to burn DVDs? The only thing I've done with this drive since I burned a disc last month (around Dec 15) was I used it to play a couple of DVD movies. In fact, I just put in a movie to test it out, and it plays the movie okay. Was there a system upgrade that I don't remember that might've killed my driver?
    3) Anyone have any ideas how to reset a DVD writer so OS X 10.4.11 recognizes that it can write to DVDs?

    No, my drive will read and write CDs but only read DVDs. It was an option to burn DVDs, and my wife's machine did that already, and I didn't need it back then, so I didn't get that upgrade. Last year, since I needed to start burning training DVDs, I got the external Sony drive -- and it's about ten times faster than the internal drive on my wife's 12" machine, so I've been very pleased with it. But now, I don't know if:
    a) the drive is having problems (possible but I'm not convinced since it's not having problems playing discs);
    b) the driver for the unit has become corrupted (but I've gone to the Sony website to download and reinstall the drivers, and there aren't any there, so that doesn't seem likely);
    c) an upgrade to OS X has broken Disk Utility; or
    d) something else.

  • Why did Firefox stop buffering 40-50% of my radio stream and lock up. Used to work fine. Receives other audo fine.

    Firefox used to play my radio station fine. Now it will only buffer 40-50% and locks up. Other audio works fine.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == 2 weeks

    You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

  • Win 7 stopped being able to see CP2025dn

    Since yesterday my Win 7/x64 system has stopped being able to see my CP2025dn. So far I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting the printer; reinstalling the HP software (upd-ps-x64-5.3.1.10527.exe); connecting the printer to a new USB port; rolling back all system changes since before the last time the printer worked (and rebooting, or course). None of this helps. The printer remains invisible to Windows -- it does not appear in the Devices and Printers window. My other printer (a Brother HL-5350D) has no problems.

    I have an R100 and I lost my SD2 card and the computer tech gave me an SD3 to replace it. I found the SD3 version more stable as I had some of the same frustrations as you in the past. It sounds like you have done the logical things, but give a complete uninstall / reinstall another go. That is what I did several times. Also, scrub your device manager to make sure all the BT devices are gone (it may be helpful to display all the hidden ones and uninstall them one by one). Finally, make sure the BT Manager is loading when you reboot, or at least that you can manually load it. Sometimes you just have to be patient with device discovery, there were times when it could not find a device and then I would try it a few hours later and there it was. If all else fails, try an SD3 card and the 4.20 stack because that combination cured all problems.

  • I have not been able to send email for some time but now i have stopped being able to recieve email.

    i have not been able to send emails for some time but in the last two days ive stopped being able to receive, the message says 'username or password incorrect' ive checked all the settings, ive deleated accout and set up again, ive rebooted phone. i tried to sync with pc but this also fails any ideas

    That is correct, They don't seem to know about Mac, never got a single scrap of help from  them.  Try recreating your account from scratch, delete the account, (write down all your settings first) and add an account, see if that works, and if it does, delete the first account to prevent things doubling up on you.  I think that's what I did, it was quite a while ago.  Hope this helps, or gets you pointed in the right direction.  Maybe go to At&t and try creating another account, and if ti works, delete the first.
    One other tihing I did was to reset Safari, as AT&T uses the net, that's about all I can remember, like I said it was awhile ago.

  • 2 days ago both mine and my daughter's macs stopped being able to open up the apple start up page

    2 days ago both mine and my daughter's macs stopped being able to open up the apple start up page, search google, yahoo, facebook and many other sites. Pictures won't download on sites and we are redirected to http://www.website-unavailable.com/main?url=www.apple.com%2Fstartpage&w=1280&h=6 21&ifc=0# with an orange O in front, which is OpenDNS Guide page.  We live in NW England, has anyone else had similar problems and any suggestions how we can resolve our problem?

    Have you tried another browser (chrome, firefox, and checked your router for blocked websites?) and also quit Safari and reopened? Also reset your cookies (Safari > Preferences... > Privacy ), or reset Safari (Safari > Reset..), or Empty Cache (Safari > Empty).

  • Mail abruptly stopped being able to connect with my .mac account. It will download from other accounts.

    A week or so ago while I was not at home Mail stopped being able to connect and download email from my .mac account. I can still use Mail to download email from my Gmail and Comcast accounts, however.  I can still download .mac email from my iPad and after installing Thunderbird I can download .mac email on my Mac. I downloaded PostOffice, but it won't download .mac email either. There has to be something that has gotten corrupted. Any ideas of what could be wrong and what I can do to get it corrected?
    Thanks.

    Make that "Postbox" not "PostOffice."

  • My iMac and MacBook Pro have stopped being able to find one another.

    I have been sharing files between my iMac and MacBook Pro.  Recently they have stopped being able to detect one another.  When I look in the sidebar of the Finder window, neither computer shows the other.  I have file sharing enabled for both computers.  This is a recent problem, and I'm not sure what has changed.  I may have updated software - but don't remember what or when, as I tend to automatically do so when an update becomes available.  I would appreciate any help that you can give.
    Thanks,
    Linda

    Eric,
    Thank you.  I had all my settings right - I had checked and double checked.  The one thing I had failed to do - which is the one thing that often helps - is to shut everything down and restart.  I shut the router and the computers down and restarted them one at a time.  They are once more talking to each other.
    Thank you again,
    Linda

  • My iTunes stopped being able to import all commercial CDs! Can't read them. Please help.

    My iTunes stopped being able to import all commercial CDs! I keep getting this message: The song names for this CD could not be found online. Do you still want to import the songs? These are store-bought, mainstream artists. Never had problems before. This is a new Mac Book pro. I am temporarily relocating and was transferring most of my commercial CDs to Itunes. Went through about 100 CDs, including a dozen today, and now none will read. I tried downloading new software (it was up-to-date), and quitting and restarting. It seems that everyone who had this problem that I found on Internet searches was trying to import burned discs. Please help

    So far, there are three of us who've posted a similar problem, in the last hour or so.   It may be working for you now;  it has started working for some, but it's still not working for me.  It's not your Mac.  It seems to be something related to Gracenote Media Database.
    Your statement says it's stopped importing the commercial CD's but I think you mean it will import them, but not recognize song titles or album titles, even though your CD's are regular commercial CDs.  If that's the case, you are experiencing the same thing I am.

  • Why did apple stop selling carbon audio's zooka bluetooth wireless speakers?

    I saw this very interesting Bluetooth speaker from Carbon Audio called Zooka in Apple store few weeks back, but I was still trying to make up my mind about it, but to my surprise this model siezed to exit on the online store, and all searches aggersively point me to other models when I insist on searching for it by name.
    Question: why did apple stop selling carbon audio's zooka bluetooth wireless speakers?  Is there something wrong with it, or is it one of thse commercial disputes that I dont need to know about, and I'm good to look for it elsewhere.

    I just got this reply back fron Carbon Audio's help Desk if anyone's interested:
    Apple had an issue with our labeling, forcing us to recall all of our product to relabel it. That process is complete and Apple will be restocking their shelves very shortly."

  • Can receive mail but stopped being able to send mail

    I can receive mail on my MacBook Pro, but, after 3:03PM on 9/26/2014 I stopped being able to send mail. I get the follingg dialog box.
    Interestingly enough the data in this dialog box is out of date. My ISP at this location is not Verizon and there is no mention of iCloud. Nonetheless mail has worked without incident at this location for two years. At my office where I have a MacPro (4.1), Verizon is the ISP but, I believe, iCloud is the other listed server. (Im not there right now, so I ca't check). Incoming and outgoing mail work perfectly at that location. Both computers are rurnning OS 10.8.5. I'd appreciate any insight anyone might Have,
    Thanks,
    Stephen

    If you are having issues with sending and receiving email, check out the first two articles to get it sorted out. Also look at the third link and look at the time at which you were having issues as it may be related to an outage of service.
