In no particular order,
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice (free)
OpenOffice (free)
In addition to the above I also recommend Apple's Pages ($19.99). I use OpenOffice and Pages and have been completely Microsoft - free for over a year now. Life is better without Microsoft.
Just an FYI John, NeoOffice is no longer free, (but it is cheap at least)

Can anyone tell me if there is a new printer software/driver for Laserjet 1300 for Windows 7 64-bit?

I recently replaced my 2 Windows XP Media Center computers. I have a new Desktop with Windows 7 Ultimate and a Laptop that has Windows 7 Professional. I have an HP Laserjet 1300 printer that I would like to connect with my desktop. This printer still works. Keeping it would save me money. Can anyone give me the link to the Laserjet 1300 software/driver for Windows 7 64-bit?
Thanks in advance!

Whenever I try to use my macbook, it will work for about 10 min. then the screen will go black, the computer will not respond to my commands, and I have to restart it. Can anyone tell me what's going on, and how to fix it? Thank you!!!

Hello everyone, like most people on this site, I am having difficulties understanding and fixing my Macbook Pro. About a month ago my computer screen went black, the computer was unresponsive, and it started making a beeping noise. I restarted the computer, and it seemed to have fixed itself. 6 days ago, I put my laptop into it's case with some papers, went home (about 30 min. after putting laptop into case), and opened my bag. My computer's fans were on, the computer was really hot, and when I opened the computer, the screen was black and unresponsive. I turned it off, let it cool down, turned it back on, started to stream a video on Hulu, and about ten minutes after, the screen went black again and the computer was unresponsive. Now everytime I turn it on after about ten to fifteen minutes the screen will go black, the computer will become unresponsive, and I have to shut it off. The weird thing though is that everytime I restart my computer, when I reopen my account, my computer acts as if nothing has happened, and everything I had opened or unsaved is still there without autosave saving the documents.The screen also goes black and the computer becomes unresposive when I move the computer around. I get a lot of pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet. I don't know if one of those pop-up websites might have given me a virus or may be the cause of this problem. I don't now what is wrong with my computer or how to fix it, but if anyone has any advice, I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!!!! Thank you very much!!!
-- Sincerely, A very confused, scared, and hopless Macbok Owner

To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Hello, Can anyone tell me if there is any mail to get in touch with Apple support? ... I do not remember my password for my IDApple and when I enter iforgot.apple to recover I do not get the email

Hello, I'm trying to get my Apple ID password but when I enter the page that helps you to recover it tells me to send an email and I do not get ... with what I can not reset my password ... Can anyone help me? ... Are there any email from Apple support where you can tell what I get to help me to recover?. Thanks!

Apple does not have email support. If you're not getting the email verification from Apple, check your anti-spam filters, on your computer and with your email provider, to make sure that emails from Apple aren't being blocked. You can also try the Security Questions option rather than the email authentication. See:

Otherwise, you'll need to call Apple support:

Instead of getting a wireless card for the Mac Pro, you might want to consider getting an 802.11ac wireless bridge device that would enable you to connect more than one device to it by Ethernet cable and to eventually take advantage of the faster 802.11ac wireless standard.

Yes, if the movie has been downloaded to the iPad, then you can watch it without Wi-Fi.

The new Business Volume Purchase Program is pretty interesting...it can be used to centrally purchase and distribute paid ( not free) items from the AppStore. We are getting setup to use it. You can keep an eye on licenses etc. You can also use a single centralized form of payment.

HT3775 I just upgraded my ipad to 6.0. I can no longer expand my audio files so that I can move forwards and backwards. I used to get a diagonal arrow to enlarge the screen and then have a bar that I can move to navigate. Can you help?

Hi James,
I am listening to embedded training files on the Quick Time player (I think). They cannot be copied to protect the information. You only have the option of listening. I used to be able to click on the Q in the audio strip and it would provide a diagonal arrow and this would allow me to expand the bar to a full screen. I then had the bar which would allow me to navigate in case I wanted to listen again or in case I wanted to move forward. After my upgrade, I can no longer expand the strip to a full screen with the adjuster. Now I have not chance to take a break in listening to these audios and most of them are at least an hour long. Thanks for your help.

I am new to Mac Pro but am purchasing one online. can anyone tell me how to get the information from my Toshiba onto the Mac. there are no stores in the state I live in. Do I need to find a location and will they do a transfer from my I Tunes etc?

I am new to Mac Pro and am purchasing one online tonight. Can anyone tell me how to get my information - Itunes, photos, and videos transferred onto the Mac from my Toshiba. the state I live in doesn't have an Apple store but I could take it to Minneapolis when I go. Any ideas where to begin?

You might profit from a visit to a Minneapolis Apple store. With a brand new Mac, I think they will be most helpful - not just with transferring files, but with other advice as well. And I strongly recommend you invest in a back up drive. The Apple folk can help with that as well.

Can anyone tell me how to save a project in i-movie from one Mac to another? Thanks

Can anyone tell me how to save a project from one Mac to another I can save and copy 'events', but the 'projects' won't open, thanks

Hi
iMovie'08 - NO - Projects can not be moved - As far as I know
You need iMovie'09 or 11 where both Events and Projects can be moved.
DO NOT move or alter any folder named
• iMovie Projects - or -
• iMovie Events
on DeskTop/Finder - Else they will not work and in some cases it is un-repairable !
Moving has to be done inside iMovie Application.
AND You need an in between storage eg an external hard disk and here are an IMPORTANT MUST
• it MUST BE Mac OS Extended formatted - UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange will not work FOR VIDEO
• Should be a FireWire one - As USB/USB2 performs badly especially when filling up and when editing HD-video.

Hi, we need to create the test environment from our production for oracle AP Imaging. we have soa,ipm,ucm and capture managed servers in our weblogic..
Can anyone tell me what is the best way to cloning the application from different environment, the test and production are in different physical server.
Can I just tar the weblogic file system and untar it to the new server and make the necessary changes?
Can anyone share their experiences and how to with me?
Thank in advance.
Katherine

Hi Katherine,
yes and no . You need as well weblogic + soa files as the database schemas (soa_infra, mds...).

Trying to install CS3 Design Premium into my new mac and the download is giving error message. New mac has no cd capability fro download r I would use it. I have the serial number....Can anyone tell me if there is another link?

HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp
RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp

clear your adobe.com cookies or use a different browser.
or if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here: Download Adobe CS4 and CS3 Free Trials Here (incl. After Effects) | ProDesignTools
and activate with your serial number.
if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies.
the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com).
failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

Can anyone tell me how to share or sync my bookmarks between my four Macs? I have 3 iMacs as well as a MacBook Pro.

I have 3 iMacs and a MacBook Pro. I'm disabled so whichever computer is closest to me when I need to go online is the one I use. I use the MacBook Pro most of the time because it's easy to use from bed. My problem is I have bookmarks on some of the computers that I need on all of them and vice versa. Is there any way that when I add a bookmark to one computer that it will appear on all of them. Also is there a way to sync all my current bookmarks (without duplicates) so they show the same on all my computers. Thank you for your help.

The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Use the same iCloud account in your user account on all of your Macs. Syncing bookmarks will be automatic.
