How do I convert Pages 5 files to older versions, on a computer that doesn't have Pages 5?
I am out of the country and using an older laptop that has 10.6.8 installed on it. I also have 2 versions of Pages installed on this laptop (2.0.2 and 4.0.5).
I was attempting to open some Pages files that I had created on my Mac (10.10), but got the dreaded "missing .xml file" message. After searching around, it seems the only way to use these older files is to open them with the newer version of Pages, then convert/export them to the older version. However, I can't do this on my current laptop because it can't install the newest version of Pages because it requires an update to 10.10, and this computer can't be updated to 10.10 due to having older hardware.
So, am I basically out of luck until I can access these files on a computer that can run Pages 5?
Apple, if you're reading this I really hate you for messing up Pages like this...
Rate/Review Pages 5.5.2 in the App Store.
The only hope you have and it is stupidly clumsy is to open the Pages 5 document in iWork beta in Safari and export it to a Word doc file, then open that in Pages '09.
This is not a surprise, but it is an object lesson. If you want compatibility and portability, do not use Pages anything or if you want portability across Macs use Pages '09.

How can I load eLearning Suite 2.5 on my new computer that doesn't have a disk drive?
How can I load eLearning Suite 2.5 that I purchased over a year ago on my new computer that doesn't have a disk drive?
if you follow all 7 steps (listed here, http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html) you can dl a trial here: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-captivate-5-and-elearning-suite-2-now-shipping.html/commen t-page-1
and activate with your serial.
if you have a problem dl'g, you didn't follow all 7 steps. the most common error involves 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). -

It wont fix your problem, but may tell help troubleshoot, why it is freezing iTunes, especially when the Pending and Realloc numbers are high.

Currently I am away from home, and using a computer that does not have my main itunes library on it. I do, however, have some video files on this computer that I would like to place onto my phone for the drive home tomorrow. Unfortunately, It seems there is no way to do this without completely wiping my iPhone and replacing it with this computers empty library, as the "manage content manually" feature apparently requires me to do this. Is there any way to just add some mp4s to my iphone without erasing all of its data?.

On a Windows PC plugging in your phone will invoke the Autoplay dialog which also gives some options
But only if iTunes is installed on the computer and is paired as a trusted device. Which the OP does not want to do. -
How do I open te files in older versions of Director?
I made a movie in Director 11 and it doesn't open in director
10. It show's a message like "file is too new". I tried to find in
Director 11 an option for saving in older versions of director but
I didn't find anything. How's that possible?It isn't possible to directly convert a D11 file to a D10
file. The
file format is not backwards compatible and there is no way
within
Director to save it as an older version. There is a guy named
Valentin
who made a XML exporter for the Director format, so using his
scripts
you can save the D11 version to XML, then reconvert that XML
into D10.
It is only a beta thing, and there is no official support for
it, but
you can try it for free and see if it works for you.

Recently purchased a new PC with Windows 8 and doesn't have a disc drive. How do I install my Adobe PSE9 from my old computer to my new computer?
Thanks!You do not install it from the older machine to the newer one. You just install it on the newer one, and if you prefer to you can deactivate it on the older one, though you are not required to since you are allowed to have the software activated on two machines.
You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site or else the download will not work properly.

Like the thread topic says. I need help getting Aperture onto my new macbook pro that does not have a drive. I have no need for a drive after this to be honest just need my programs back on it. Thanks.
Two options:
Make a disk image or a clone of the installer CD on your Mac that has a super drive - you can create a disk image using Disk Utility or use Carbon Copy Cloner (if you have it) to clone the DVD to a thumbsdrive. Then run the installer on your MBY from this copy.
Or download the Trial Installer and install from there:
Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial. http://appldnld.apple.com.edgesuite.net/content.info.apple.com/Aperture/061-8328 .20101020.AprE3/ApertureTrial3.1.dmg
Open the Aperture Trial disc image.
Double-click the "Aperture Trial.mpkg" file.
Follow the onscreen instructions to install Aperture.
After the installation completes, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu.
Install the Aperture 3.4 update from the list of available updates.

When I try to email a Safari web page with Mavericks, some times it does not allow me to send the actual page and its contents. Instead it offers
you to email as a web page, link or PDF file. However, when you send the page, the images do not show up in the email.Hi,
You can try to right-click on the page and '''Send Link'''.
You can also install [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/?src=search Addon Compatibility Reporter] and try to '''Enable''' the said extension in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Addons'''. Hopefully this will restore at least partial functionality. You may also be able to find alternatives via the search box on the top right of the Addons page, or [https://addons.mozilla.org/ AMO]. -

Hello,
For Electronics Workbench 5.x you don't need a Release Code, only your Serial Number. If you need the installer please send the request to [email protected], include your Serial Number and contact information.
Have in mind that we no longer support version 5, the installer could fail depending on your operating system.

My personal Macbook pro died, but I did have a Time Machine backup. I have a new iMac that I would like to use as a family computer. I would like to transfer some files to the new computer (and set-up a new Time Machine backup), but archive the remainder on a non-TM drive. I was planning to:
1. File copy my last backup folder from my old TM drive to the new computer
2. Copy (and then delete) the files I want to archive on another HD drive
3. Wipe clean my current TM drive
4. Set-up TM on my new computer
Is this a good way to proceed?
Is copying the last backup folder (vs. all backup folders) enough to move my files over?
Any better approaches appreciated!I suggest you visit MicroCenter and go to there Apple section and ask one of there guys if they are still offering the 2 terabyte Backup For the iMac, Mine was only $100.00.
So the iMac has Time machine plus the USB 2 Terabyte Backup for less than your $130.00 -
Hi All,
Please help, im very new to the MAC world but as all my collegues use them and worship the ground they walk on i jumped ship. During this process i offered to produce my friends wedding DVD, i had three cameras and have chopped it all together and found Imovie really easy to work with. My problem now is after reading the forum IDVD no longer exists (although confusingly the export to IDVD is still on the software.
I am left with a wonderful wedding DVD that i cant get onto a DVD. please help my friends have watched their video on computer but it would be nice to get it onto some proper DVD with a title menu ETC and a case.
as mentioned above im very new to MAC so be nice lol.
Thanks in advance
NickThere is free open source software called Burn that will burn DVDs. Here is a link.
And here is a post from Creative Techs describing how to use Burn.
If you wish to pay for software, there are many options, including TOAST TITANIUM from Roxio. Apple's retail copy of iLife 11, and Apple's Compressor.
Of these, I would say that iDVD is known for being able to create very professional looking DVDs with intros, menus, lots of interesting templates. It is no longer sold by Apple, but you can find it on sites like Amazon and eBay as part of the iLife 11 retail package. The iDVD application has not been updated since 2006, so past versions back to iLife 06 should work.
Toast is much simpler and the menus and templates are more plain. But it does a good job, and can provide other functions as well, such as burning a BluRay disk.
Compressor is a professional tool that does a lot more than make DVDs. Don't expect much in the way of menus or templates, but it is useful for creating a DVD of a single movie. It can also create a BluRay playable disk.
Burn can make a simple DVD, but does not have the menu flexibility or the templates of iDVD. If you only need to make a one-off DVD, Burn is sufficient and free. If you make a lot of DVDs, get one of the paid packages.
Each software package is a little different, but in general, in iMovie, you can use the SHARE menu to SHARE/MOVIE in Large size. Save the movie to your desktop or someplace you can easily find it. Then drag it into the tool of your choice. You can also use SHARE/MEDIA BROWSER/LARGE if you have iDVD or Toast.
I very rarely make DVDs anymore, because I make my videos in high definition. With any DVD software, your movie will be reduced to standard definition and will look pretty bad on most large screen TVs. I have to remind myself that many people still have small TVs. -

how can I convert .pdf file to .doc using the free adobe reader app? when I try to convert the .pdf file it asks me to sign in. when I click on "sign in", I am taken to a service subscription page. So, no free conversions using free adobe reader app?
As has been mentioned Adobe Reader cannot export PDF page content. Nor can it create PDF or manipulate PDF page content.
What you can do is use one of Adobe's online subscription services. Two provide for PDF to Word export.
There's ExportPDF and PDF Pack.

I want to send a normal pages document as a attachment to someone (non Mac PC). How do I convert the file so they can open it? Silly question but I'm new to Mac.
A Pages (.pages) document is only viewable with Apple's Pages application on the Mac, or via Pages for iCloud beta. You should export it to either MS Word (.doc/x) or PDF. The Share menu will let you do this directly into a Mail attachment.
