I ahve a critical update to install for Microsoft Office. Unfortuantely SyncServices Agent and Microsoft Database Daemon will NOT shut down. Any guidance, thoughts, and or advice would begreatly appreciated.
Thank you.
MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011), iOS 5.1
Open Activity Monitor (Utilities folder). Find those processes, select them, and click Quit Process
Didn't work for me...
Anything else I should do to close those apps?
The Activity Monitor does work for me. Mountain Lion 10.8.2
Thanks for the hint!
I got the same problems since purchasing MS Office 2001 for Mac. Barney15E is correct. It works!!! ML 10.8.2. I wonder if there is another easier way without going to the Activity Monitor. Thanks for the hint!!!
Go to Spotlight, type in Activity Monitor, select that to enter Activity Monitor. You should see SyncServicesAgent and Microsoft Database Daemon. Select each one and hit the x button above to Quit or Force Quit each one. However, I am using Mavericks and I had to try that several times because they kept re-starting and re-appearing before I could get the update installing. I brought the installer onto the same screen and quickly hit it before the SyncServicesAgent and Microsoft Database Daemon re-appeared. It eventually worked and updated. Microsoft could have done better!
I cannot get this installed prior to the programs reopening. Any other suggestions surfaced recently?
I have a critical update to install for Microsoft Office. SyncServicesAgent and Microsoft Database Daemon will NOT close. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
