Will Microsoft Office 2008 and Photoshop CS5 save to Time Machine?

I need to reformat my Mid 2010 15" MacBook Pro. I purchased Photoshop and Office when I purchased my computer in 2010 and have misplaced the disks since then. I need to know if they'll save to time machine... My iTunes also won't open and I'd like to save my playlists, is there any way I can access and save a folder or something on my external hd to get those back as well? Would you suggest I upgrade from 4gb to 8gb of memory, and any other helpful hints/tips for reformatting would be wonderful. Thanks.

If you did not exclude any of these applications when running Time Machine, that data should be there.  Open Time Machine and take a look.
Additional RAM is generally a good thing to install if you use resource intensive applications.  The best sources of Mac compatible RAM are OWC and Crucial.  Make certain that the RAM has the following specifications:  204-pin PC3-8500 (1066 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM.  8 GB RAM is the maximum your MBP will accept.
If the bank account allows, a SSD to replace the HDD would speed up your MBP.
Ciao.

    Just adding to what CSound has said.
    Pages and Numbers will change Word and Excel documents when they open and close them.
    Sometimes the change is subtle and sometimes not. With the latest versions of Pages and Numbers, more likely not.
    So don't think you are going to work with MsOffice files without problems. You will always have something not right and in some cases really annoyingly not right. Like having all the text from Pages appear bold in MsWord, or page breaks in the wrong place or some objects and graphics not appearing in one or the other.
    If working between different Operating Systems and MsOffice files, I also recommend LibreOffice. It opens and saves nearly all file formats. Unfortunately not .pages or numbers. Yet. The folks at LibreOffice are busy adding to it all the time, and making sure it works in all Operating systems, Mac, Windows and Linux and they are promising iOS as well soon.

    Did you restart after updating?
    Have you tested in a new User to see if you have the same problems?

      microsoft office 2008 worked on my i-mac until I upgraded to lion 10.8.3. any easy fix?

    Without any details on the problem, it's largely impossible to offer any useful advice. If you can post back with more information, someone may be abel to offer suggestions, but since this question is about a Microsoft product, you might have more luck getting suggestions if you ask in Microsoft's own forums.

  • Problems with Microsoft Office 2008 and 2011

    Hiya,
    I am running Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro and I'm having ongoing problems with the Office system. I'm doing a PhD so I use footnotes all the time and in Word 2011, the autosave function makes the footnotes disappear from the bottom of the page, but I'm not comfortbale working wihtout autosave running. I deleted Office 2011 and put Office 2008 back on my machine. However, since I re-installed Office 2008, the whole OSX seems to have slowed down.
    Could Office 2008 cause my whole system to get sluggish? Is there anything that I can do about it?
    I am also wondering if there is there another solution to my original Office 2011 problem with footnotes that doesn;t involve disabling autosave? Has anyone else has similar problems with footnotes? I just wiped my whole system and re-installed all the programmes, so I am surprised to still be having these same problems with Office!
    Thank you for any help and advice! 

    You should try asking your Office for Mac question in the Office for Mac forums where the Office for Mac gurus hang out.http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac?auth=1

  • Microsoft Office 2008 and repairs

    My sister lent me her copy of Office 08 to load, it worked fine for a few months, now no apps opens accept Word. I did a disk utility repair permissions. No difference, and then I discovered the disk utility was damaged and wouldn't open, so I re installed it from my Tiger disc, the D.U opened fine. But I am really puzzled as to why something used work fine and I now does not work. There is no message to say what the error is, it just attempts to open, the colour wheel wizzes and it just says in the finder 'not repsonding' in red. To which I have to force quit.
    My sister has lost the original Office disc, her daughter got hold of it and lost it, and so we are using copies we made as back ups or off our external drives. My other niece had a copy and her Tiger macbook is still fine with Office 08. (but she had to have a new hard drive 7 months ago after a big crash after 9 months).
    Any ideas why this might have happened? I don't want to risk reinstalling my Tiger disc. Maybe I should take it to Cancom where I bought it?

    Hi Vanessa,
    Sounds like Disk Corruption, in which case you don't want to do anything with it, not even Repair Permissions until you fix it.
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Tiger Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If all the above fails, then it appears to be time for a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.

  • Microsoft Office 2008 Update Loop/Glitch for Survey

    I just downloaded the new update for Microsoft Office 2008 and once I'm finished with it, a screen pops up prompting me to either take an anonymous survey or forgo it. Once past that screen it'll ask me to either register this product or learn more. Even when I try to register it mactopia never loads up and no matter what I try to open Office will only give me that screen.
    It does this when I try to open a new blank document, or try to open an existing file.
    Is there a glitch and a patch available to fix it? Or is there any way to bypass the survey?
    SOS I need to write papers and take notes!!

    I cam up with this fix from another forum that worked for me.
    'If you are experiencing this problem, delete the following files:
    ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Office 2008/Microsoft Office 2008 Settings.plist
    /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Office/OfficePID.plist
    then launch any Office 2008 application and enter your Office 2008 serial number again...

  • Set default Microsoft office 2008 word indent level

    Do you know how to set the default Microsoft office 2008 word indent level? Every time I make a new list, it indents it at 1/4 inch, but I want it to not be indented, like in Pages. Anyone know how to do it?

    Since Word is not an Apple product, you should be posting your question on Microsoft's own forums for their Mac products, as Apple discussions only provide support for Apple products:

    Microsoft Office 2004 (Word) unable to save files
    I have been running Office 2004 on my Intel iMac with Snow Leopard for some time and all of a sudden I cannot save a document. Word just stopped responding and I have to force quit. I can open Word and create a new document but I cannot save it. I reinstalled Word but that didn’t help. Then went to the Internet and found at least one other Mac user having the same problem which it suggests is caused by a recent Mac Security Update:
    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2004-macword/word-2004-wil l-not-open-or-save-documents/b04eb870-9b0d-4f3b-bb47-b122301e36f6
    So I check for a new Mac Security Update and sure enough there was one. I downloaded it and now Word seems to be working, as it should. I can both open and save files. The only problem remaining is that when I open Word I get the following error message “An unexpected error occurred while trying to load the Microsoft Framework library”. I contacted Apple but they were unable to help.
    How can I get rid of this error message?

    Look, I realize you might have to get your machine working, so this is how you revert back.
    Restore proceedure to pre-Security Update 2012-001 v 1.0 & v 1.1
    #1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
    Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
    Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
    #2 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
    Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
    Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk  of your internal drive  (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
    Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway)  or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
    #3 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001 v1.0 or v1.1
    Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
    #4 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
    When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason as they are missing the part they installed into OS X.
    If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

  • Dreamweaver 8 and Microsoft Office 2008 for mac

    Hi everyone
    Not sure if this is a Word or Dreamweaver problem.
    I am running Dreamweaver 8 on a G-5 OSX-Tiger.
    I just installed Microsoft Office Home and Student 2008
    edition on my machine.
    It install just fine, however when I need to paste a word
    document into Dreamweaver it will not paste. If I go back to Word
    2004 I can paste just fine.
    Anyone have any suggestions.
    Thanks so much

    If you don't need it there is no reason to install it. Just depends really on what you will be doing if both would be good for you. Might want to wait on the second one untill you see if you need it or not.

    Well, how about delete the entire Microsoft 2008 folder and get it back from the "Time Mchine" backup if you got one. Did you ever back-up your system?
    It doesn't have to be a recent backyp, any backup from TM or CarbonCopyClone will do the trick. Or copy the entire directory folder of MS 2008 on a flush stick and move it/copy it on a OS X 10.5 machine into the Applications folder like your were before you got the 10.6 upgrade and see if works there. If you don't have the Microsoft 2008 disk or some old backyps or some 10.5 system running you are out of luck. There is no way to reinstall without any of these.

    "Motion 5" is your friend.
    Michael Wohl has a nice 15 video series (free) about Motion 5 at http://www.macprovideo.com/tutorial/motion5101-overview-and-workflow-guide (right side)
    This is a "teaser" series to sell his tutorials but it is really good. Just saw it yesterday for the first time.
    While all you want is just to place pins, realize that Motion has so much more. All kinds of effects and they can be really customized. Maybe put their street address, contact name, and phone number by the pin?
    Motion 5: cheap at $49.99 (just got my download two days ago)
    Motion 5: Support Community athttps://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/motion_5
    If you're using the map for, say, deliveries, and use an iPad, what you could do is have a general map of the area imported into Motion, create the pins and whatever, then save (share?) it to the iPad.
