Office 2008 installation fails on the new Macbook Air

I get a Setup error trying to install Office 2008 on my new MacBook Air running El Capitan.  I tried my new Super drive I bought just to do this, and I also copied the installation on my 750 GB external drive as well, but nothing works?

Thank you very much

Craig

You must install Office 2011, if you can find it, or get a subscription of $99 / year to 2016 from Microsoft Office. Individual applications can be downloaded freely. If you do not have a subscription, then they operate in trial mode.

  • Ads pop up on the new MacBook Air. Very frustrating.

    I just plug a new MacBook Air on the weekend. I used help migration to transfer my files from one to the other. I think that it might cause a problem because whenever I try to use Safari and click a link, or anywhere on a page, it opens a new tab for a page popup for a betting site or similar. This was also a problem on my old MacBook. I was told that it was just slow. I understand there are a lot of these questions, but I can't find an answer which is quite recent. How can I solve this... Very frustrating and obviously it shouldn't be a virus/malware on a new product so could come from the former? Help!

    There are some ideas in a post here:

  • Photosmart c4280 print gibberish of the new Macbook Air with OS X10.9

    I can't get this to print.  It will show the page after page, a single line of gibberish for a simple print request.  The machine is a new macbook air with 10.9.4 IMac w/10.6 wife print wireless with no problems.  As does my son 7 windows-powered PC.  So I don't know where to turn.  I already did a reload of the pilot with the same results.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    No problem.

    Since it can print on other computers, have you tried another connection on this 10.9.4 computer? I just want to see if that makes a difference. You can try to use a USB cable to check if you are receiving the same question. If you do not, then you know that something is interfering with the wireless connection. If you do not have the same issue, then you will need to contact Apple support for assistance. Click here to read: Apple Worldwide Contact.

  • Transfer/upgrade of long registered version of PS CS4 on cell phone deadline on the new MacBook Air without going to monthly subscriptions?

    Hi all, I'd be grateful for advice please as I'm going round in circles with this for days now.

    I would like to use Photoshop on my new MacBook Air, but I don't want to pay a monthly fee. I have a registered version of CS4 on my old machine, with the serial number, but I do not see how to install it on the Air without going into the CC - I really want to pay a monthly fee to use a product that I already paid for.

    So, my question is, are at - it an older version of the trial of the PS that I could download for Air and then upgrade? Obviously I can not put the original disc as there is no drive. Each trial download that I found so far installed PS CC.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Chloe,.

    To be honest I'm not sure what the rule was with CS4, certainly today you are allowed to have Photoshop on both machines, but that might not always have been the case. In any case, you can test. Do not turn off on the old machine and try to install on the new. If he accepts your serial number, then you know it's possible, if not then you will need to disable it on your old Mac. I tend to think that for some people, CS4 is all they will ever need, but like you said there is no route update to CS5 now. The big problem with older versions is sure that they will not work with the new operating systems, more true for Mac and Windows, and also because that Camera Raw is not updated they need Adobe's DNG Converter to work with the latest cameras. Photographic membership is good value for the money, but not if you've spent $1000 in the course Photoshop purchase. Not much I can say really, but it's business.

  • old CS 5, the new macbook air

    I bought a new macbook air and wanted to install my old student CS 5 edition that I have only on a disc.

    But as there is no slot CD I can't install CS 5.

    If I insert my "Seriennummer" it tells me that is not valid.

    It is rather urgent for me because I need the program for my applications.

    If anyone can help me?

  • Help, please!   Nothing WORKS loading Acrobat Pro XI on the new MacBook Air

    I have a new MacBook Air.  I transferred all the files of old Macbook Air, including Acrobat Pro XI.  It does not work.   I bought Acrobat Pro XI on 18 February 2015.  I still have the email and the link for the download.  The link will only now in Acrobat Pro DC.  I discovered that with the code I have for Acrobat Pro XI, I could get a free upgrade.  OK, I downloaded Acrobat Pro DC and entered my key - that should work, especially if the upgrade is free, right?  EVIL.  He said that the key is not valid.  It IS valid for XI Pro because I have it on my old MacBook Air.  I went back and found the .dmg file that I downloaded originally to install Acrobat Pro XI.  Of course, who does not work on my new computer is - says it is not valid.

    Someone else in Adobe on this forum gave me links to the windows that obviously do not work on my Mac.  I simply cannot change computers?  What kind of racket is Acrobat?  Please, someone help.  I tried to solve this problem ALL DAY.

    I'm just screwed?  Is this really how Acrobat treats its customers?

    Hello

    Please refer to the instructions to disable the Acrobat on your previous machine in the following link:

    Enable and disable Adobe products

    Use the following link for download Acrobat XI pro:

    Download Acrobat products | Standard, Pro | DC, XI, X

  • Need help to install my Adobe Web Premium on the new Macbook Air

    Hello

    I recently bought a new Macbook Air. My other computer is a Mac Mini - and I have a purchased version (and licence) of Adobe Web Premium on this machine. I want to put this software on my new laptop - which does not have a CD/DVD drive.

    I went to my Adobe account to view orders history - but there is nothing there. In my products, my license appears - but I can't figure out how to download it on my laptop.

    If anyone can help with this? I don't understand why this product is not showing in my order history. I bought it in November 2010.

    Thanks for any help

  • NetInstall fails on the new Macbook A5102

    We have a server OSX Netinstall who dishes about four different recipes of our company OSX image some with Adobe Creative suite, some without etc.

    The image server is OSX 10.11.3 and the images themselves are also OSX 10.11.3

    It works fine on all our recent machines for the most part, and we use it to regularly "nuke & pave ' annoying / slow down Mac on our network or update machines when there is a change in personnel.

    I just took delivery of a brand new MBP A5102 retina ranging from 13 "and we cannot get the Netinstall server to work on it.

    Initially the Macbook could not see the images, and then after a while, they appeared. However, when we chose the image of the boot disk, we get this weird message:

    "Bless tool could define the current startup disk."

    I remember rail, rear track (System 7 stylee) the notion of bless the system folder but he had not met in OSX.

    To work around this, I tried to change the HTTP of NFS slips Netinstall, but that doesn't seem to have made all the difference.

    Any input on this would be greatly appreciated.

    For the record, the new MBP comes with 10.11.3 aboard.

    Are you an error sheet in the startup disk? Or is - it be entered in the console/system log?

    Two assumptions would be:

    (1) SIP is (somehow) you prevents from selecting the server NetInstall.

    (2) something (?) is wrong with the installation of the OS or PRAM.

  • Can't connect Apple ID on the new Macbook Air - which is stuck on the login page?

    Hello

    I'm pretty new to the Macbook, but not to Apple itself. Yesterday, I bought a Macbook Air and I tried to connect to Apple ID using iTunes, App Store (even downloaded the update and I tried to log in when you try to install it) and FaceTime, iMessage and each time, after entering my information correctly, it sticks on the page connect and won't let me log on. When I enter the wrong details, it signals that immediately. I tried to change my password to my account but I think that this is a system error. I also tried to create another Admin account and connection that. Nothing seems to work!

    Any suggestions?

    I have exactly the same problem, except that I'm a regular MacBook. I also tried to create a new admin login.

    I also tried to contact the apple support. This leads to several minutes, verify that my time zone and the region settings were set to automatic and correct, then asks me to restart the computer using safe mode. I restarted mode safe mode and still nothing worked. So now, I scheduled an appointment with the support team. It is a ridiculous experience for my first day on this computer. I am 100% positive that this is not a bad password, because I am able to use the same password on iCloud.com and some services. However I can't implement Keychain, Messages, App Store, etc.

    Someone please help!

    How is it that I have * can * associate the Apple ID for my account, the macbook itself and iCloud.com (and my iPhone), but I * don't * use the SAME password to access the App Store, Messages, Keychain, etc.. What is going on?

  • Great use of the RAM in the new MacBook Air?

    It's the first time I've owned a Mac and it is currently a week. I use every day since it arrived (watching videos, using the word and research). Recently, I found my way on activity monitor, 7.5 GB of physical memory to 8 GB was in use - 3 GB of this was kernel_task. I stopped all open windows, so it is now 1.11 GB, but it still seems way too high. That said, I know nothing of what it should be, so I would like to know if this is normal? If this is not the case, what I can do to lower the kernel_task? (In addition, the kernel_task is GB 25,42 disk tab, should I worry?)

    Set apart this, nearly half of the RAM is still in use and I would like to know if it's too normal - for such a new mac.

    The system was not slowed down at all, while I use it, but if there is a problem, I would like to know before it becomes a problem. If the problem comes from the manufacturer and not how I use the mac, I of the ofc as contact with Apple.

    Features: 8 GB of RAM, Intel Core i5, 256SSD

    Captain El in OS X, version 10.11.4

    Thank you!

    Yes, it's normal.  On operating systems newer, the OSX tries to use as much RAM is available for maximum efficiency.

    The new setting is the PRESSURE.  If it's Green, everything is good.  If she turns to orange or red, then there may be issues that need to be addressed.

    Ciao.

    I just bought a MacBook air. I've migrated everyting for my macbook pro (which worked fine with the printer). I could feel air but cannot scan. When I run the app to scan I was following:

    HP Scan cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure that HP Scan works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Don't forget to install the updates that are available for the application and OS X.

  • I can't reinstall photoshop elements 12 on the new macbook air

    I bought a store card that I bought, I now want to install on my new boom air, but when I put in the code it says opps, I signed up as a different user, it took hours and hours, can you please help, I bought and registered with < removed >.

    I've removed your personal information, since this is a forum for user to user on the open internet, not adobe support.

    I'm guessing that your card has a code of redemption on this subject. That works only once. You need to install the PES is the serial number, that you got with this card. If you go to the main page of the adobe.com site and log in with the email you used (totally no matter if it's good either as an address), then click on manage account, you should find your serial number. Incidentally, if possible I would like to change your password now that you have shared with the world.

  • How can I transfer the mail, Safari, iTunes, etc of my 2008 MacBook running OS 10.5.8, a new MacBook Pro (with Ethernet port) or a new MacBook Air?

    I replace my 2008 Macbook which maxed out at OS 10.5.8, with a new MacBook Pro or MacBook Air.  The Pro has an Ethernet port, the Air is not.  I want to transfer all the data from my application (mail, Safari, iTunes, etc.) for the new Macbook that will run El Capitan.  How can I do?

    What machine you're leaning towards? With Air, you have to use ether WIFI or have the old drive on an external drive configuration. With a new Macbook Pro, the simplest method is to use the migration assistant. Access your Macbook in public services and to see, there you have it. Here is a link to what you can do.  http://pondini.org/OSX/SetupLion.html It is said Lion, but it applies the same. Here's what apple says.  https://support.Apple.com/en-us/HT204350 you should know that some of the apps in Leopard will be obsolete in El Captian. There you transfer, it can cause problems. I use the thinking that if I can replace it with a download I do this. The transfer or, if there is an update for it.
