Will Office for PC install on a Mac?

Hi,
Thinking of buying a mac and saw on the apple website that "Microsoft Office runs great on a Mac" (or something similar). I have a microsoft office disk that I bought with my pc laptop, with 2 installs left on it - will I be able to install it on a Macbook Pro or do I need to buy the mac version? I know that it would probably run through Wine or Bootcamp but have not used either of these before; are they simple/quick to run?
Thanks in advance
Caitlin

You need to use Windows or if applicable CrossOver Mac to run the PC version of MS Office. Except for applications which will run through CrossOver Mac, Windows is needed to run Windows software.

If you have Office 2004 or a copy of Office 2008 you haven't yet installed, no. If you've installed Office 2008 or have Office 2011, yes.

Will office 2008 work on a power mac G5?

Hello I have an older Power mac G5 , was wondering will Office 2008 on it ? ( I have a co worker that has an unused copy for $10)

It should. I think Office 2008 was the last version for the PowerPC architecture.

Where to download PS CS6 for fresh install on new Mac?

I'm setting up a new Mac and want to do a fresh install of Photoshop CS6. I already have the licensed app installed & registered on one other computer.
Where do I go to download CS6 to my new Mac? Do I need to de-activate CS6 on my older Mac? Thanks.

Download CS6 products Just have your serial number ready.
You are allowed to activate on two computers. So if you want to keep the older one as a backup, you are fine. Deactivate and uninstall if you will donating or disposing the old Mac.

I found a fix for problems installing Air on Mac Lion OS

I had Air installed which I needed to run this porgram You Select it which needs adobe flash and Air to run.. The other day the program would not open up.
I tried a number of things could not get it to work. Deleted the program, and tried installing Air again, and Flash. Flash would install fine but not Air.
I searched the WEB and found a forum which said if You install Firefox web browser and run it while you install Air it will work.. I did and got Air and my Program installed fine.
I have no clue why that worked but it did.
Craig

Thanks - this strange solution worked for me too. Shaking my head, just as I thought Flash was safely killed, Air pops up as the next Weirdo app

Is Ms Office 11 already installed together with Mac os lion?

Is Ms Office included in the new Mac OS lion?

No. Office is not an Apple product. You have to purchase it from Microsoft. Only OS X is included with Lion. New computers come with iLife pre-bundled.

Elements 11 for windows install on a mac

Ik heb de originele installatie CD voor Photoshop 11 voor Windows, met serienummer.
Nu heb ik een Imac gekocht en wil het pakket hierop installeren.
Na het downloaden van Photoshop 11 voor de Imac en het installeren hiervan wordt het serienummer niet herkent.
Wat doe ik verkeerd?

Onder het ingevulde serienummer komt te staan: Dit serienummer is niet geldig voor dit product.
Achter het ingevulde serienummer komt een driehoek met een uitroepteken erin te staan.

Office for mac lion compatibility

Will office for mac be compatible with "versions", the new feature from os lion?

According to this article, http://www.engadget.com/2011/07/20/apple-os-x-lion-10-7-review/, "Versions, along with Auto Save, will be a likely favorite for anyone who spends a significant amount of time word processing. Unfortunately, the features are still fairly limited -- they work with Apple programs like TextEdit, Automator, and Preview, but not popular third-party programs like Microsoft Word."

Office for Mac: windows media player and Napster?

I have recently bought an iMac g5 and have had Microsoft Office for Macintosh installed. Last night I was having my first general rummage and discovered that I appear to have a Windows Media installer included in the software for Office. I have a Napster account and had previously assumed that I would not be able to access it from my iMac.
Could anyone advise me whether it would be sensible for me to try to install Windows Media from this Office for Mac package, and whether it would cause any issues with iTunes or otherwise?
If anyone has any experience using Napster on an Apple (hope the coincedence of those words in the same sentence is not too sacreligious), please shout, whether good or bad.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
There is indeed a version of Windows Media Player for Macs. However, it is version 9 whereas there is a later version for PC's that is much more full featured. In addition Microsoft have recently officially discontinued Windows Media Player for Mac after not updating it for years. This means that it does not work with Napster unfortunately. However you can use Windows Media Player for Mac to play back Windows Media Files without copy protection (DRM) such as windows media files from the internet. To do this you can install Windows Media Player for Mac. Alternatively Microsoft suggests that you use the Flip4Mac windows media player plugin (www.flip4mac.com/wmv.htm) which allows you to play back Windows Media files using Quicktime Player.
I find this to be a superior solution (It is also free) as the experience is more seamless and it supports more formats. Therefore I suggest you download and install this and do not install windows media player.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; I also have Microsoft Word installed on the Mac as well.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.

Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

Will re-installing Mac OS X 10.5 delete office for Mac?

I recently tried to make a stack of applications. After making this stack, I decided that I did not require it. I then deleted it, and emptied the trash. It was at this point that I realized that I had deleted the applications, not just the stack itself. I came to the realization that these apps were from the operating system, and not the ilife suite. I have office for mac, Home and Student edition 2008, and I am afraid to restore the operating system because I don't know if it will delete the suite of word, excel, powerpoint, and entourage. This would make me use another one of the codes, which am reluctant to do, solely because I do not want to waste them.
If anyone knows of a way to not delete Office for mac when restoring Mac OS X. Thanks!

As was stated, Office doesn't have to be "activated" such as what they require say for the Windows OS. Rather, you just need a valid serial number to install it. Now, you'd have to check wether they ping that info home and update a database and keep track of installs, but I'd say no.
Of all the Mac software I've purchased over the years, I've installed, re-installed, wiped my drive, bought new computers, reinstalled, etc.. only one company ever contacted me and told me I've over my install limit (though I wasn't). It was for Blogo. I had it installed on two machines (which is ok under their terms.. they recently switched to 3) but they locked it so I couldnn't run it, even when not connected to the internet, which seemed overboard. I had to email them then they reset my serial.
Seems that a company would waste resources worrying about installs, especially if their software starts selling well. I've always had this opinion, if I pay for software I should be able to install it on as many machines as I want, BUT only use it on one machine at any given time. I have purchased about 40 different Mac apps in the last 3 years, and although I only have 1 computer now, I would n't hesitate on installing it on both my laptop and desktop, since I only use one version at any time.
Sorry to go off on a rant....

Why can I not install fonts? Office for Mac will not recognize them?

My wife and I tried many times to install several fonts that we could use in Microsoft Office for Mac. Even though it said they were installed in the Mac, we could not see them in Word. We are new to the Apple products. We are not novice computer users, just novice Mac users. The font book shows them installed. We tried to choose several of the font families to add the fonts to. We could not see them there either. My wife does some foreign correspondence and likes to use pretty script fonts (TTF). Please help if you can.
THANKS IN ADVANCE
Billy

Sorry also not.
I signed in to the App Store (and to itunes store just to make sure) with both my apple ids but i do not have the sub- section 'Hidden Purchases' within 'Itunes in the cloud' section. I guess I do not have hidden purchases then...
More interestingly: I checked the 'Top Charts' section in the AppStore and under category 'Top Free' all the iWork stuff (Numbers, Keynote, pages etc) shows up! But it has a price (e.g. numbers = 2000Yen) underneath... very strange.
Somewhat the app store knows that it should be free for me but the price is not displayed as 'Free'...
Help please.

Purchased office for Mac 2011 from store. Each time I put install CD in my Mac, it just ejects it. What am I doing wrong? This is my first Mac.

Try smc and pram reset.

Hyperlinks from Office for Mac don't work after I installed OS Mountain Lion

I installed OS Mountain Lion a week ago. Since then hyperlinks have not functioned from e g Word, Excel or Outlook for Mac. I am running MS Office for Mac 2011.
I was earlier using Snow Leopard and did not have any problems with that at all!
Needless to say, this is quite urgent as many emails contain important links, which I am unable to use
Is this a known bug??

Office 2004 is a PowerPC-only suite and will not run under Mountain Lion. You'll need to upgrade to Office 2008 or Office 2011, or get one of the various programs/suites that can open and save in Office format (Apple's iWork apps, LibreOffice, OpenOffice.org, etc.)
Or you'll have to downgrade back to Mac OS X 10.6.
Regards.

Follow these instructions to uninstall MacKeeper. They have been tested with the most recent version of MacKeeper (v 2.8). Earlier versions than the one released in 2012 require more extensive work to uninstall all its components.
The effects of having actually used MacKeeper to do anything are a completely different matter. The fastest way to take an exquisitely designed and painstakingly engineered Mac and make it run like a steaming pile of dung is to install and use such ill-conceived "cleaning" or "security" products. This is just one example of a broad category of time- and money-wasters capable of causing damage that can only be rectified by reinstalling OS X, restoring from a backup, or completely erasing your system and rebuilding it from the ground up. Never install such junk on a Mac.
If you used MacKeeper to encrypt any files or folders, use MacKeeper to un-encrypt them first.
Quit the MacKeeper app if it is running.
Open your Applications folder: Using the Finder's Go menu, select Applications.
Drag the MacKeeper icon from your Applications folder (not the Dock) to the Trash.
You will be asked to authenticate (twice):
You do not need to provide a reason for uninstalling it:
Just click the Uninstall MacKeeper button. You will be asked to authenticate again.
After it uninstalls you may empty the Trash and restart your Mac. All that will remain is an inert log file that does nothing but occupy space on your hard disk.
