Mac users have several options for using Microsoft Access on their Macs. Microsoft Office for Mac can do the following with Microsoft Access ACCDB and MDB files: 2011 and 2016: Get data from an Access file into an Excel Table or Excel PivotTable. Re: End of mainstream support on Office for Mac 2011 You forgot to mention this includes removing 2011 from the activation servers. Fraudulant Mac for home and business is a product still being sold on the market.

• • • • Hi everyone Before I start, let me say that Office for Mac 2011 is a wonderful program! I have been using it since Beta three. Although I was a user of office 2008 the lack of outlook meant I couldn’t use a Mac as my everyday computer. Well Outlook has finally come to the Mac and I for one am immensely grateful. However during my install today – I came across this issue: You must stop the following programs and services: Sync Services Agent I couldn’t figure out where this darn program was and so I couldn’t stop it. But I finally figured it out – Open Finder, then applications, then utilities then open the Activity Monitor. Now you can find the sync services agent in the list and quit it – viola the install will now continue!

Good Luck and Enjoy O4M 2011. I am having the same problem, now Outlook 2011 will not launch, synchservicesagent keeps running preventing me from installing updates or reinstalling, I tried reinstalling entourage and this worked but wnated to install updates and these stopped due to synchservicesagent. Best photo notoation progam for mac. I have logged off restarted with shift key used activity monitor and the synchservicesagent keeps starting up.

I also keep getting asked to resolve thousands of synch conflicts I did not even initiate, these messages will also not go awayhhheeelllpp. I am going to kill Microsoft, what happened to quality control add to that you can not synch with iphones, Microsoft and their published excuse is just ridiculous. This is a huge mistake by MS. You can disable the SyncServicesAgent from starting by opening a Terminal and doing: sudo chmod a-x /Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/SyncServicesAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/SyncServicesAgent You’ll be asked for your password. Use Activity Monitor to Quit the SyncServicesAgent process — it will not be able to restart itself. Complete the Microsoft Update process, and then run: sudo chmod a+x /Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/SyncServicesAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/SyncServicesAgent You may or may not have to type your password again.

Now reboot your system. This process of quitting the sync services worked in order to finish the install (my third attempt), but now the only thing that works is Outlook. My Mac exceeds the systems requirements for O4M 2011, but Word, PPT, and Excel don’t work. I only get the message: “Microsoft Word (etc.) cannot be opened because of a problem. Check with the developer to make sure Microsoft Word works with this version of Mac OS X. You may need to reinstall the application. Be sure to install any available updates for the application and Mac OS X.” I’m with the above poster – the only problems I ever have with my Mac are with MSFT products.

So frustrating!! I would not suggest removing the SyncServicesAgent with the rm -rf command. It is probably better to just rename the file than name it back a la: mv /Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office/SyncServicesAgent.app /Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office/SyncServicesAgent.app.1 then mv /Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office/SyncServicesAgent.app.1 /Applications/Microsoft Office 2011/Office/SyncServicesAgent.app Allegedy this was resolved in a recent update. You can read it under ‘Update Details’ Good luck. Hey Microsoft$%&!* brilliantyou figured out how to bring the insanity of MS OS into the Mac environment.

Followed instructions from Christopher: “I found this referenced in another thread: 1. Use Finder to locate syncservicesagent.app; 2. Move syncservicesagent.app out of the Office folder (yes, just renaming would probably be sufficient as well); 3.
