Close all Office products running
Create a temporary folder on your desktop
Move “Microsoft User Data” folder under Documents to the temp folder
Move all com.microsoft.* under ~/Library/Preferences to the temp folder
Move Microsoft folder under ~/Library/Preferences to temp folder

Open any Office application such as Word or Excel. This should take you through the registration process once more and clear the error.

From the Fugu Homepage:

Fugu is a graphical frontend to the commandline Secure File Transfer application (SFTP). SFTP is similar to FTP, but unlike FTP, the entire session is encrypted, meaning no passwords are sent in cleartext form, and is thus much less vulnerable to third-party interception.

Fugu allows you to take advantage of SFTP’s security without having to sacrifice the ease of use found in a GUI.

Fugu also includes support for SCP file transfers, and the ability to create secure tunnels via SSH.

In OSX Open a Terminal window and paste this

defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1

That will allow you to see (as the command says) unsupported Volumes in Times Machine. All you have to do now is ensure your drives stay mounted every time you boot up OSX.

TIP: This works best over LAN, unless you are lucky to be on a network with high upload capacity to your Samba Share.

Simple Problem with a simple solution!
Problem: After rebooting OSX, your mounted drives/shares do not appear and you have to remount them manually!

Solution: Mount your drives/shares, then go to System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items (tab on top)
Drag your shares in the window and select “Hide” to avoid them showing when you login.

That’s all! enjoy!
