As anyone been able to work out a way to update all MS Office 2016 applications at the same time, like how previous versions of Office Autoupdate would work, rather than doing a specific update for each application?

It's always updated them together for me. Whenever it shows me an update there's one for every app in the suite, and it downloads them all at once.

The Microsoft AutoUpdater (if you run it manually or have set to check weekly) updates all installed Office programs at the same time. It just did that for me with the update from a couple weeks ago.

I've got a question I hope someone can answer before I have to do something drastic like start my own topic in the Haus of Tech Support. I've got a late 2012 Macbook Pro running OS X 10.10.5, I've upgraded it to 16GB of RAM from 8GB, and put in a 1TB hybrid SSD/hard disk as the main HDD while keeping the original mounted where the DVD drive used to be, both upgrades from OWC.com. I've got Windows 10 running in Boot Camp (and Parallels 10, which I haven't updated to 11 yet, pointed at the Windows partition) on a partition on the hybrid drive. I upgraded from Windows 8. My question is: Why does it take two minutes for OS X to boot up from turning the power on, and Windows 10 about fifteen seconds? There is a dark grey bar which slowly fills when I'm booting into OSX's login screen. When it's up, the OSX runs everything quickly and as expected, no problems. I used Boot Camp Assistant to make the partition, and there are zero problems with Windows, just the OSX's initial startup speed and, occasionally, shutdown speed. What's going on here? I realize an obvious "quick fix" would be to start everything over from scratch and restore from backups, which I do have. Aside from a twinge of annoyance that this shouldn't really be happening on a computer that isn't that old, it's not really interfering with my usage. And just wiping and starting from backups doesn't really help me understand what's going on. Sorry if this kind of thing has been answered already! And if you guys think I should head over to the Haus then I guess I will do that.

With an SSD installed, OS X used to boot within 15 seconds on my late 2011 MBP, but ever since Mavericks, the boot times have gotten progressively worse. Don't understand why.

Boot in verbose mode to see the startup sequence. It's hanging up on something. Hold CMD-V when you turn on the computer through the chime and you'll see what the computer is doing. Could it be possible it somehow installed OSX onto the platter drive? I mean, OSX loads your programs fast and what not?

Experience has shown me that sometimes the hangs are from a bad main drive cable. Since they are not made to be user serviced, they get damaged way to easy. A local computer guy says about half the unibodies he sees that have had user work done are iffy. Of course he's trying to get me to pay him to do things, but this was exactly my problem, and he solved it.

The fact that Windows is installed on the same drive yet boots up quickly would seem to rule out the HDD cable. But yes, the HDD cable on the 13" MBP's are notorious for failing (especially the 2009 and 2012 models). 15" models don't seem to have this issue (though they can fail, just not as frequently).

Can somebody explain to me how Office 2016 for Mac works? I just want a god drat standalone installer for the office suite but every link to Microsoft puts me at Office 365. We have our own email server so I don't get a poo poo about Office 365 hosted exchange services.

If you want to purchase outright you'll have to wait until autumn because Microsoft haven't released it yet.

They're gonna make a killing on Office 2016. The only time I've used Word 2011 in the last few years was for a Thesis 'cos the formatting in Pages is awful. It's so dated now. I remember using it when it came out 😗

I use a VPN to get around the Great Korean Firewall, and it works great… except I can’t send email. The VPN’s tech support (IronSocket) told me to use ports 25, 465 or 587, however I still get timeouts when I try these ports in Mail. Any idea on what else I can try?

The price is more than likely going to be set to make the boxed copy look like poor value. Especially once you factor in the multiple installs, iPad apps etc. I think at least outside of Volume Licensing, Microsoft are only selling retail copies of Office so they can say they aren't forcing people onto subscriptions.

I've had clients in the past get one for 25ish copies, so there doesn't seem to be a large minimum quantity (although that was 2011 so it may have changed). The volume-licensed version of Office 2016 doesn't require any sort of sign-in or O365 account.

No solution but the same thing happens for me with a 2009 Mbp running the latest macos and win10 on the original platter drive. Windows boots in about 25 seconds macos in about 90. From what I've read Microsoft put a HUGE emphasis on performance in older machines due to how they pushed the update so this could just be an area that MS is ahead of Apple on.

Well, OSX didn't have any problems with boot up speed until I used Boot Camp. It's a 15", so I guess the faulty cable problem doesn't really apply since otherwise performance is very good. I will try the verbose startup when I get back home. Thanks for all the help so far, guys!

Windows boots in about 25 seconds macos in about 90. Re-select your Mac OS partition in Startup Disk and it'll probably fix this. Most of the time when OS X is starting slow, it's because the boot partition value stored in NVRAM is no longer accurate, so OS X will sit there and enumerate all attached devices looking for something to boot. Selecting in Startup Disk puts it in NVRAM, causing the OS to skip this during start up.

I have a 2013-ish Mac Mini I've owned and used regularly for the past two+ years, and I got my first ever "Kernel Panic" where the screen goes black and the computer resets. Is this a sign of some serious hardware problem brewing, or is it just a glitch? I occasionally got BSOD's on Windows, but this was the first time I ever saw this happen, so I was extremely surprised.

CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:Well, OSX didn't have any problems with boot up speed until I used Boot Camp. The reason I mentioned my problems as being solved by the replaced cable is that my only indication of problems was a really slow start up time. The machine ran fine apart from that. I thought my SSD was dying, so I bought a new bigger SSD, and swapped in a 2 TB into the drive bay, and because I bought the drives from him, the local technician did the install. And that's when he found the bad cable, and that solved all my problems, and I also got a "free SSD" in the sense that the original SSD, as I found out was fine. So I was kind of right where you are with just a weirdly long (5 minutes or so) start up time on an SSD.

Could be a hardware problem brewing or it could be a rude cosmic ray deciding to randomly flip a bit somewhere. You can look at the logs in Console.app and see what happened. But I wouldn't worry unless it happens again.

Are you running 10.10.4? I had repeated kernel panics with it, logs indicated it was a launchd crash every time. Since launchd is the parent of every user process, when it goes there's nothing left for the kernel to do but throw a panic message up even though the kernel itself hasn't crashed. 10.10.5 seems to have resolved the panics for me but I have seen the window server crash on wake once, which is effectively a reboot since the window server is the parent of your login session. Basically Yosemite is poo poo. Worst OS X release in a long time. Hope they're improving things in El Capitan for this fall, I haven't had the time to try being a beta tester this year.

This is incorrect. The point of both iCloud Drive and Dropbox is that you have a local copy.You're not writing to a file that's online only. The same goes for Spideroak, LiveDrive, etc.

Thanks for the post. Yikes. I guess I am staying with (gulp!) 10.6.8 for another year. Yup, 4 year old OS.

While using my computer last night (2013 11" Air, 10.10.5), my keyboard suddenly stopped working correctly. Letters or numbers would not appear when I typed them in any application, and I couldn't use any shortcuts that involved letters, such as cmd-w or cmd-s. However, I could still use cmd-tab to switch windows, cmd-space to open Alfred, opt-space to open Spotlight, and the function keys at the top to change volume/brightness or open mission control. Strangely enough, anything I typed did appear in the Spotlight search box, but not in Alfred or any other application. Has anybody else experienced this behavior?

Yeah I'm on 10.10.5 and latest iTerm. Just started happening one day last week. Nuking the plist and the .app did not help. I'd chalk it up yet another quirk of Mac full-screen but it happens with its own fullscreen too. Barf EDIT: I apparently hit Cmd+Shift+T at some point.
