I have installed iWork 09. Should I trash the older version?

Jan Thanks for responding. It was iWork 08. I just want to make sure I don't lose anything if I trash it. What do you think?

JeanBullock You should be able to delete the old version without losing anything unless you stored documents in a folder of the iWorks. Look in the old iWorks folder and see if you have anything it there like that and if you don't, then you can trash it. 09 will be able to open anything that was created with 08.

Clark Howard, financial guru mentioned that Mac users can sign up for Boxee tv (paying nothing) and get tv coverage with no cable... or satellite. What do you know about this... and is it legit?

imac word processing

by Flacka

Jun 24, 2009

What is the best/easiest word processing program? I'm used to using MS Word for the PC but can't easily find the various buttons on MS for mac (2004). Things like the margins, changing fonts, etc. don't have those nice buttons on the screen like they do on the PC. Is there a way around that?

Flacka Thank you both! I now see that part of the problem was that I didn't have the toolbar enabled (DUH). The links you gave really helped. I like my mac a lot better now!

Is this board strangely quiet?

There are very few posts for the last couple of weeks. I posted a question about 10 days ago and since then there seems to be only 5 or 6 posts! Maybe everyone is just on vacations! If so...have fun!

Leopard running on emac

We have upgraded our emacs to Leopard and added 1 GB of RAM in our school network (mac mini running Leopard).

You might also use your Public folder for their work in progress and your drop box for finished files. In your public folder you could have folders for each class or student (however you prefer) to keep things organized.

Do you have a list of students with login and pass words and permissions/applications set up in Server Admin? If not that's where you start.

Help!

by Jan

Jun 25, 2009

I took what I thought was my perfectly good emac to my classroom for the students to use. I turned it on (or tried to) and all there is is a black screen, no sound, and the light on the front stays yellow. What could be wrong?

Thanks!

Jan I replaced the battery, but that didn't solve the problem, unfortunately. It wasn't unplugged for long. I tried the pram thing, but that made no difference. Is the power manager reset where you press a button inside the computer? I tried that too. Are there any other possibilities of fixing the computer?

Could you run your hardware diagnostic disk? (m) Jan,

Can you find a genius bar or a Mac repair specialist?

making labels for my cds

by Flacka

Jul 5, 2009

I imported many of the cds I use in my classroom to itunes on my Mac so that I can make topic specific cds instead of playing DJ all day. I need software to create the labels so I have the list of songs on the label. Ideally I'd like the software to grab the list from my itunes playlist. Is there something like this out there and if not, what softw...See More

KS I use an Epson R340 printer that prints directly on inkjet-printable cds and dvds. There is a software that I use (DiskLabel) that really works well, reads playlists from iTunes, etc. Tried using the stick-on paper labels a few years ago-bad results so went with what I have now. Hope this helps

Installing with old (ancient) registration numbers

Jul 5, 2009

Help me figure out how to install Adobe photoshop Elements 2002 and Rosetta Stone 2008. I keep getting invalid number errors. Went to their web sites but couldn't find any help.

Any ideas or ways around this snag.

I did that. Caps lock is off too. Do registration numbers expire? I can't tell if the activation is trying to contact the company for something. Seems unreasonable that I couldn't install a program on another machine if the first computer dies or something.

Thanks for all the help Neal. It is appreciated.

MacBook Pro Help Needed

Need to upgrade my OS

by Stanley

Jul 12, 2009

I'm currently running 10.3.9 on a PowerBook G4 with a 1.33 GHz processor & 640 MB of RAM. I know that's SUPPOSED to be enough to run Leopard, but does it work effectively with that amount of RAM?

Thanking in advance...
