You'll no longer receive Office for Mac 2011 software updates from Microsoft Update. You'll no longer receive security updates. Security updates are what help protect your Mac from harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software. You'll no longer receive phone or chat technical support. Many causes are responsible for the occurring of “can’t update office 2011 Mac” as if you are using an corrupt external hard drive to install the updated version of Office 2011, interference of the Time machine in the installation, mismatch language settings, if the office 2011 is already updated, etc. Microsoft has released the Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.5.6 update. In addition to the application improvements that are mentioned in this article, Office for Mac 2011 is now available as a subscription offering. For more information about subscriptions, see Frequently Asked Questions. This update has prerequisites. A change to the previous version of Microsoft's AutoUpdate utility caused updates to break in Office 2011 for OS X. A fix is ready for download. AutoUpdate 3.0.5 was installed with the last Office update a few days ago. Microsoft has backed off from the mess it made with a new version of AutoUpdate you can download now. The problem only happens if you're using both the Office 2016.

Microsoft AutoUpdate (MAU) version 3.18 and later includes the msupdate command-line tool. The msupdate tool can be used to start the update process for Microsoft applications produced for Mac, such as Office. The tool is primarily designed to give IT administrators more precise control over when updates are applied. You can download the latest version of MAU from this link.

msupdate works by sending Apple Events to the MAU daemon. On macOS 10.14 Mojave and later, you may see a privacy prompt when running msupdate for the first time. If you are using an enterprise management tool such as Jamf Pro, you should deploy a Privacy Preferences Policy Control (PPPC) payload to pre-approve access. Samples of such a payload can be downloaded from GitHub.

Use the following steps to start using the tool:

1. Open the Terminal application
2. Enter cd /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MAU2.0/Microsoft AutoUpdate.app/Contents/MacOS
3. Run ./msupdate --help

The following options are displayed:

Examples of how to use msupdate

• Display the current configuration parameters for MAU:./msupdate --config
• Display the current configuration parameters in machine-readable format:./msupdate --config --format plist
• List all available updates:./msupdate --list
• Download and install all available updates:./msupdate --install
• Download and install the latest updates for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint:./msupdate --install --apps MSWD2019 XCEL2019 PPT32019
• Download and install a version-specific update for Outlook:./msupdate --install --apps OPIM2019 --version 16.17.180090901

Application identifiers

The following table lists the applications for Mac supported by MAU. The identifier is used when specifying the --apps parameter. When specifying multiple applications on the command-line, separate identifiers with a space.

Note

• The identifiers for the Office apps, such as Word and Outlook, can be used for Office for Mac (from an Office 365 or Microsoft 365 subscription plan) or for Office 2019 for Mac (either a retail or a volume licensed version).
• If an update is pending for MAU itself, that update must be applied before any applications can be updated.
• Identifiers are not case-sensitive when run interactively from the command-line, but use the character casing in the table when running from a management tool such as Jamf Pro.
• Microsoft Teams might use MAU to provide updates in some scenarios, such as if the Teams updater fails. But, you can't use msupdate to have MAU manage updates for Teams, because Teams doesn't provide admins the ability to deploy and manage updates. Instead, Teams is updated automatically approximately every two weeks with new features and quality updates. For more information, see Teams update process.
