Windowserver Crash while using Microsoft Office
Hello everyone,
This problem has ocurred several times over the past year and I can't seem to find any solution. That's why I hope some of you guys know what's the problem.
Whenever I have a Microsoft Office window opened (word, powerpoint etc.) and I open spaces (exposé) there's a 50% chance the computer freezes completely and after that it reboots. It seems to be a problem with the WindowServer thread and somehow it is linked with Microsoft Office. This is very annoying because I have lost loads of unsaved data while editing documents.
What I have tried to do so far:
Reinstall Microsoft Office
Reinstall OSX
This didn't help at all, so I haven't got a clue what to do next.
I have copied the crash log and inserted it below (I'm sorry for the huge amount of text):

Hi Jasper,
Just a stab in the dark here...
Try disabling automatic graphics switching. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4110
It wouldn't hurt to also read the following article on identifying which GPU is in use:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4152
Both of the above links should relate to your 15-inch Mid 2010 MacBookPro running Mavericks.

LoginWindow WindowServer crash while using old Carbon software?
I have 10.6.0 on a white Intel Core2Duo iMac. Whether I have no other software running, or Safari this event happens intermittently. When I do a search/replace with BBEdit 7.1.4 (yes I know it is old), the WindowServer or LoginWindow is crashing, and all the applications including the Finder close down, only to relaunch the Finder.
Is this a RAM issue, hard disk space issue (30 GB of 128 GB is free), or some other issue? Barebones doesn't believe their software even being that old would cause this problem.me too. Multiple crashes in 10.6 and 10.6.1. Nothing fancy on my end. Just vanilla apple apps and entourage.
I get:

Why can't two people in our house use Microsoft Office at the same time?
When my daughter tries to use Microsoft Office on her MacBook while my husband is using it on his MacBook Pro, she gets the following message: Microsoft Office 2008 cannot start because it is already in use. An Office program is being used by [my husband's name]. Your installation exceeds the number of installations permitted for the license agreement. Click more information to learn more about Microsoft Office licensing." When she clicks on that, the information is nonsensical and overwhelming. Why is it doing this?
Protection. Although I havent come across this myself, the license with Microsoft is obviouly for the use of one computer only. You have clearly violated the license by installing it on more than one machine, hence the problem. This is how they make their money and they aren't alone. But the rules of engagement mean that it is intended for one machine only and not two at the same time. (Sadly).

I use Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010, when clicking a link in Outlook I always get a box stating
General Failure. The URL was "http:// etc etc".The system cannot find the file specified.
Yet it still goes to the specified page. Any ideas on how to resolve thisI am having the exact same problem with Windows 7 Professional. Out of the blue, this issue just started a few months ago when running my monthly Windows Backup where I have used a USB drive for the last 3 years, and never ever had this issue before. Most
of the solutions listed on the Microsoft websites and answers deal with
"Restore" functions, not the
"Backup" itself. I have 3 folders being skipped during the backup.
So I went and changed the Backup from "let Microsoft choose files, directories, etc" to "Let me choose". I included the files and folders that were being skipped, and ran the "Backup" again, and got the same error message,
but the files that were skipped the first time were "Backed up" finally. This issue is somehow related to my "Libraries"?
The 3 backup problems are:
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book Recordings. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book CD Label-Cover Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Backup encountered a problem while backing up file C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\My Audio Books\Audio Book MP3 Tag Art. Error:(The system cannot find the path specified. (0x80070003))
Did a "checkdisk" - no problems. Ran a program to fix registry - no problems. All updates up to date. I guess I could eliminate these folders from the Backup folders in the
Library, and just choose them under the "Users" locations, and be done with it. But I really want to understand this, and fix it. This is within Windows 7 and may be related to Windows Media Player or
some recent Windows update. Thanks. -
I have a MacBook Pro (purchased in 2011) with OS X Lion 10.7.4. I'm using Microsoft Office 2011 and cannot open older PowerPoint Files (non .pptx). It will always open the same .pptx file and then the machine hangs up and just keeps spinning.
Thank you - that all makes sense. It is, indeed, exactly what I did when I upgraded.
I'm also writing this on the machine that crashed a few minutes ago (I posted the crash in another thread). I got back with a 'safe boot' - as I have done a few times before.
I've also de-installed little snitch (and then done a safe-boot & then re-boot ) since that seemed involved. I de-installed Adobe flash, since that seemed to be a problem - I then re-installed the later, apparently fixed, flash. The most recent crashes don't seeme to have a problem with flash any more.
I've posted the various ( generally different ) crashes. I also posted a summary of the similar lines that turn up in most of the crashes.
Unfortuantely, I'm actually trying to use the machine to meet some urgent deadlines and all this is not making it at all easy.
I had had great hopes for 10.7.2 - I thought that the crashes must be pretty common, so would have a common aetiology. There do seem to have been some fundamental changes to the file sytem and to the video interface (that seems to cause problems to brand new iMacs as well as to my 2009 iMac). -
How can I use Microsoft Office on two user accounts on one IMAc?
Dear all,
I have installed Microsoft Office 2011 on my IMac which I have recently bought. I did this on the (at that time) only user account in place: the administrator account.
A little time after this my wife and I decided it would be much easier to us to make an additional user account on the same computer for my wife (also with administrator rights), so we could have our own settings, desktop preferences etc. So now we have two user accounts/profiles on one Imac, so far so good.
But when my wife signs in on her account, she is not able to use Microsoft Office . Office seems to be only available to the user account on which it has been installed initially: 'my' account.
Can anyone help us out here and tell us how we can make Office available to my wife's user account as well? I understand that the licence of Office is restricted to one computer, but what about two accounts on the same IMac? I mean, it is still one computer, one 'home', one family etc.
We would appreciate your help here!
Kind regards,
JurjenAs long as you installed MS Office into its default location (the top level /Applications folder) it will be available to all user accounts on the Mac.
As far as licensing is concerned you only have to enter the license code once, which you should do right after installing MS Office, in the same admin account you installed it from, by opening any one of the MS Office applications. There is no additional licensing required for additional user accounts on the same Mac.
Each user account is able to run the Office apps. The only thing you will have to do is go through an initial setup screen in each user account (but this setup does NOT involve entering any additional license codes).
You may have problems if you installed MS Office in a particular user account (i.e. NOT in the top level /Applications folder). -

What aspect of Microsoft Office? Office is a suite of programs... Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.
You've got several potential options. Libre Office and Open Office (both googleable) are 'open source,' free, downloadable programmes that will open most MS Office programmes and perform many of the functions of MS Office. Might be an idea to have a look round for reviews (etc) first, to see if they sound like they'll match your needs.
If you're keen to use the App Store, there's Apple's own suite of programmes: Pages, Numbers and Keynote. They're a word processor, spreadsheet programme, and presentation-type programme with similar functions to Word, Excel and Powerpoint respectively. They're pretty good for most functions, and are better integrated with Macs than MS programmes. They're excellent programmes for what they do, and relatively cheap (about £14 each?).
But if you're heavily reliant on MS, want ALL the bells and whistles of MS, or need to regularly transfer files between MS programmes on other computers and your laptop / desktop computer, then they might not be the best of ideas. Keynote - IME - can have some difficulties in transferring formatting to Powerpoint.
Finally, there's MS Office Mac 2011. You can't download MS Office from the App Store, but can order the CDs from most online stores (including Apple's own store). It might be worth price hunting - if you're a student, you can usually find the programmes relatively cheap (£38 at the moment on Software4Students, though you'll need to belong to an academic institution / have a UK .ac email address). Apple's own prices on MS software are unlikely to be the best prices out there (though the product will be identical).
MS Office includes Word, Excel and Powerpoint in the basic version. The slightly more expensive version (which, I think, is the £38 one on S4S) includes Outlook. Which - IME - is far more of a nuisance than Apple's native Mail programme.
(I should probably add - I'm an academic. I own both Apple's own programmes, and MS Office 2011. I tend to use the MS programmes more, if only because they're the ones that other people tend to use, and transferring between Apple and MS programmes is a minor inconvenience. Pages also lacks Garamond, my favourite work font. The Apple progs are, however, far more beautifully integrated, and would be MORE than good enough for most users...) -
How can I install or use Microsoft Office on my iPad 4?
How can I install or use Microsoft Office on my iPad 4?
You cannot. Microsoft has not made a version of Office for iOS. There are however a number of apps that are compatible with Office documents. Apple makes iOS versions of their own iWork apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) that are available free if you purchase a new iOS device and that can be purchased separately for older devices. There are also 3rd party combined suites that cost less than the separate Apple apps. Ones often recommended include Documents 2 Go, Quickoffice and Office2 HD.
If you can accept needing a network connection whenever you want to use the apps and have an Office 365 subscription, Microsoft has just released their Office Mobile app, though it has significant limitations. Or a server-based solution such as CloudOn might be an option for you.

How do I use microsoft office 2010 on imac?
Hi, I would like to use microsoft office 2010 on my imac for school purposes, how can I accomplish that?
I suggest that you get the student version of 2011 for mac. i believe it is around 120us or so on amazon or the apple store. The other option would be to use 2010 for windows running paralles or a similar Windows emulator.

Photoshop CC crashing while using gradients.
While using PS CC on a Macbook Pro with Mavericks, 16gb of RAM and 80gb of space on an SSD I get crashes while using the gradient tool. I'll make a curve, fill the mask and select the gradient tool to use in the mask. If I switch from black to white in the palette using "x" I almost always get a crash.
I've run all the updates I can, needless to say this is extremely frustrating.Hi,
Sorry for the troubles. Have you submitted any crash data to the Adobe Crash Reporter system? I wanted to check there to see if we are already tracking and aware of the issue already.
Also, are you using Ps CC (14.2.1) or Ps CC 2014 (15.0)?
regards,

Photoshop CS4 crashing while using program on Vista
PS is crashing while using. No clear repeat of when and causes my computer to be unable to "end process". I have to do a hard restart.
Using trial version of photoshop and this is not helping when deciding to purchase.
Using Vista Ultimate. ATI Radion HD 2400 (I've updated the driver)
I've disabled the Open GL checkbox.
I've been using PS CS 1 before this and I may just keep using it since it's stable. Love to upgrade but not with this headache.Using Vista Ultimate. Not sure about security since this is a work computer and I don't know the PC (I'm a Mac Person using a PC by force).
Where would I find the "event log"? -
I want to use microsoft office on my mac. I need it to run on windows platform. Which is better: boot camp or parallels 7 ?
Welcome to Apple Communities
You can install Office for Mac. If you don't want it, Boot Camp uses all the hardware, so it has the best performance for Windows, and Parallels allows you to run Windows in Mac without reboot and without Boot Camp. To use only this, download Parallels -
Over the last few wks, i have lost several important file. Even the support team has not been able to recover them. Pls offer advice. I use microsoft office on my macbook pro, which is less than a year old.

You did not steal my thunder. You asked for advice, I provided advice. I assumed that since you nor the "support team" could find your files that you did not have any backup. You should have told us you do regular backups. We have no way to know otherwise unless you tell us. -
I've upgraded to mountain lion and now cannot use microsoft office--what happened?
I've upgraded to ox Mountain Lion and now cannot use any of my Microsoft office software. What happened?
It appears that you upgraded your computer to Mountain Lion and were using Microsoft Office 2004. In the short term, if you need to open and modify Word files, go to the file in the Finder and Control-Click on it. A menu will come up: go to Open With... and select TextEdit. This should allow you to open, modify and save the file for the short term.
You can do the same trick to open Microsoft Excel files in Preview and print them; but I do not think you can modify them in this way.
Workarounds for Microsoft Office 2004 since upgrading to Mountain Lion:
1. Upgrade to Microsoft Office 2011. This version works in Mountain Lion. However some of your legacy 2004 files may convert badly.
2. Restore the version of OS X that you were using before Mountain Lion.
3. Partition your hard drive and/or attach an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard on it and use the 'dual-boot' method of booting into Mountain Lion when you need it and booting into Snow Leopard when you need to run your PowerPC applications such as Microsoft Office 2004.
4. The method I use, which allows me to run my PowerPC applications concurrently with Lion: I installed Snow Leopard (with Rosetta) into Parallels 7 in Lion:

Jvm 1.5.0_06 crashing while used in tomcat as service
ANyone ever seen this one.
JVM crashes while used by tomcat as service. The crash occurs randomly. In this case while writing an index for lucene. Lucene is used within our jackrabbit application. This crash caused the index en thus the data in jackrabbit to become corrupt. All content of repository was therefor useless.
Tomcat 5.5.17 is installed on a windows 2003 server.
Does anyone know the cause of this crash. See hs_errpidx.og file below
