2014-12-11 Question: Q: OFFICE 365 ISNT WORKING WITH OS X YOSEMITE. I tried to open Office 365 for Mac on my MacBook Pro but comes up with a message saying there is a problem but does not specify what the problem is. MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10), Office 365 Posted on Dec. Oct 18, 2014 I have used Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 with no problems in Lion, Mavericks and Yosemite. I just did a new Word document as a test and saved it, before posting this. Is Word already installed on your computer or is that where it is giving you the error? Were your updates done before installing Yosemite?

Check compatibility

You can upgrade to OS Yosemite on any of the following Mac models. Your Mac also needs at least 2GB of memory and 8GB of available storage space.

MacBook introduced in 2009 or later, plus MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008)
MacBook Air introduced in late 2008 or later
MacBook Pro introduced in mid 2007 or later
Mac mini introduced in early 2009 or later
iMac introduced in mid 2007 or later
Mac Pro introduced in early 2008 or later
Xserve models introduced in early 2009

To find your Mac model, memory, storage space, and macOS version, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu . If your Mac isn't compatible with OS X Yosemite, the installer will let you know.

Make a backup

Before installing any upgrade, it’s a good idea to back up your Mac. Time Machine makes it simple, and other backup methods are also available. Learn how to back up your Mac.

It takes time to download and install OS X, so make sure that you have a reliable Internet connection. If you're using a Mac notebook computer, plug it into AC power.

Download OS X Yosemite

For the strongest security and latest features, find out whether you can upgrade to macOS Catalina, the latest version of macOS.

If you still need OS X Yosemite, use this link: Download OS X Yosemite. A file named InstallMacOSX.dmg will download to your Mac.

Install the macOS installer

Double-click the downloaded file to open a window showing its contents. Then double-click the file within, named InstallMacOSX.pkg.

Follow the onscreen instructions, which will guide you through the steps necessary to install.

Begin installation

After installation of the installer is complete, open the Applications folder on your Mac, then double-click the file named Install OS X Yosemite.

Click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions. You might find it easiest to begin installation in the evening so that it can complete overnight, if needed.

Allow installation to complete

Please allow installation to complete without putting your Mac to sleep or closing its lid. Your Mac might restart, show a progress bar, or show a blank screen several times as it installs both OS X and related updates to your Mac firmware.

Office has long been the productivity suite of choice in the Windows world, and it’s also been a favorite for even longer on the Macintosh side. Perhaps this is a good spot to remind everyone that Excel originated on the Mac!

Lots of hard work was put into the latest Mac version of Microsoft Office, and it shows. Office 2011 for Mac more closely mirrors the design of the PC version of Office (as you can see by Microsoft Word for Mac shown), but it still includes everything you’d demand from a native OS X application (such as Pages from iWork, which is Apple’s competing office productivity suite).

However, as with OS X itself, Office 2011 for Mac isn’t just an attractive exterior. Consider some of the advantages of Office 2011:

Perfect document compatibility with the Windows version of Office: You can both read and write documents with transparent ease, no matter which platform gets the file. Documents can be shared between platforms on the same network.
Mirrored commands: Office 2013 for Windows and Office for Mac 2011 have similar menu items, dialogs, and settings, thus making OS X instantly familiar to anyone who’s used Office on a Windows PC.
Support for native Aqua features: These features include transparent graphics in your documents, input and confirmation sheets, and palettes for formatting.
Tons of templates, samples, and support files: Microsoft doesn’t scrimp on ready-to-use documents and templates, as well as additional fonts, clip art, and web samples.
Outlook: Office for Mac 2011 includes a version of Outlook that’s similar to the Windows version in scope and power. It combines most of the features you find in the Apple Mail, Calendar, and Contacts applications.

Besides Outlook, Office for Mac 2011 includes three applications:

Word: The word-processing application that rules the planet
Excel: The leading spreadsheet application
PowerPoint: A favorite presentation development application

The Office for Mac Home & Student suite costs about $150 at the time of this writing. You might save a few dollars if you buy it online from a web store.
