Critical calls will be responded to within 1 hour of assignment to Mac specialist. top of page

Operating System Support:

Diagnosis and repair of operating system problems will be provided for Mac OS 9 and newer versions (currently through OS X). Support for older operating systems will be performed on a “best efforts” basis.

Software Support:

The CSS Mac support specialists will diagnose and repair problems occurring with the following software on the local operating system: Microsoft Office 2001, X and 2004; Outlook Express 5; Netscape 7; Internet Explorer 5: Safari: Mac OS X Mail. The specialist will provide support for email only where IMAP configurations are used, or access is gained through a web browser.

These versions may be updated as support is dropped or added by Apple or knowledge of specialists is upgraded. Support for other software will be performed on a “best efforts” or knowledge available basis. top of page

Software Licensing:

The University of Wyoming has subscribed to Microsoft's Campus Agreement 3.0. Under the agreement, institutionally owned computers - desktops and laptops - may be upgraded to the latest versions of Office Professional® for Windows PCs and for the Macintosh. Upgrades to the Windows operating systems are also included. Other software may be purchased through the Select Licensing program. Changes in this agreement may be made from time to time. As much notice as possible will be given. See the Microsoft Select 6.0 License Program page (http://www.uwyo.edu/infotech/Services/Sales/Software/select.htm) for further information about licensing and prices.

Local printing problems will be supported on a “best efforts” basis.

Remote Support:

Remote support may be utilized for Apple computers when possible depending on the operating system. Office visits will be scheduled for software support as required. Appointments should be made to deliver equipment to a Macintosh support specialists’ office for diagnosis and repair. top of page
