I cannot update my Microsoft software on my iMac as it keeps asking me to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent. I cannot find out how to do this... hence I have not updated Microsoft on my iMac since I have had it. What are they for anyway? Any help would be great - thank you.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)
Hi, no idea what is running them, but...
Open Activity Monitor, Show:>All Processes, see if you can higghlight them there & use he Quit icon.
As BDAqua says - but you're not alone:
Found an answer. Go to your Outlook, select Tools, SyncServices, untick all the boxes. Close Outloook, go to Activity Monitor and quit Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent. This time they'll stay closed.
Once your software update has finished go back to Outlook syncservices and retick the boxes.
Painful example of Apple and Microsoft software not talking to each other very well.
Thank you!!!
You made this so simple, I don't really care about the how's and whys only how to complete the task.
