How well can you work on docs in word on iPad 2

Thinking about buying an iPad 2, and wondering how it is for working on docs in Word (generated on my mac laptop) when away from the office?

You have several options to work on Word docs. If it's for your own purposes and you have a Mac with Pages, ther Pages for iPad is an excellent choice. If you use Windows on your desktop, it's a little less good - in converting files between Word and Pages formats, some formatting can be lost.
Documents to Go, Quickoffice and Office2HD will all handle Word documents pretty well. D2G probably has the most features, but (for me) the worst interface). I like the other two equally - maybe a slight preference for Office2HD. I have all 3 on my iPad (and Pages too), so I'm not juts speculating.
If you're exchanging Word docs with other Word users, and formatting is important, I'd recommend not using Pages; of the other 3, I'd say that QuickOffice has the best mix of features and UI.
I find Word editing on the iPad useful, but not ideal. I use a bluetooth keyboard - much quicker than the onscreen one for me - and I don't try fancy formatting - just text work.

How well does windows work?

How well does windows work on a Mac? I am thinking of getting a mac book pro and I would want to use the MAC OSX most of the time but sometimes on the road I will need to use windows for work. If I install windows also how well does it work?? Have you had any problems?

Lots of questions! I'll do what I can, I am newish to Macs and not an IT expert.
I use a MacBook when out and about, it seems fine, better when I upped the ram and HD. I'm not sure whether "better" is the right term. The pro's bigger screen and keyboard may be useful - your choice. The MacBook is my choice because of weight and price, I'm not sure what to get next time. I think I prefer portability for travel and Mac Pro power for deskbased work. The graphics driver would be the deciding factor for Cad etc for me. Not an issue so far and it's a 2 year old MacBook.
I did put a new hard drive in, the partitions were too small. A 250gb drib=ve is MUCH cheaper than a new machine, simple to install. I allowed the max XP partition at 30gb (FAT).
AV - antivirus software for XP - essential to keep clean files.
Leopard - run BootCamp and follow the instructions. It will tell you when to insert the XP disk etc. Mine was choosy about the XP version, you need a recent one. Early SP1 just don't work.
I prefer to use BootCamp and not Fusion etc - simply to maximise the MacBook resources - it's not sharing anything. That may be why I can run the apps. You just need a little planning on what you are going to work on.
Think that's all , as I said, I'm just a user.

How sparse can you get your xorg.conf?

Things i had to set manually;
1) Keyboard layout, because it defaults to US
2) Two mouse keys don't work had to manually set, Emulate3Buttons defaults on (wanted it off)
3) "VideoOverlay" is off by default (or is not auto detected)
3) needed to set DPI to 96
4) needed to set color to 24 (defaulted to 8?)
apart from that, the auto detection is vastly improving IMO.
The main premise behind this, is to debate the auto detection capabilities of hardware by xorg.

How much can you fit using iDVD

How mcuh can you fit on a dvd using iDVD? Can you fit 2 hours, maybe more.

No, 2 hours, maybe less!
The maximum capacity of a DVD is 120 minutes, but that includes titles, transitions etc.
If you work on 1 hr 45 minutes you should be OK.
The only exception is if you burn the DVD using Roxio Toast, which has the ability to 'compress to fit', but there is a quality penalty.
The attention span of the audience is also a factor....

How can I open Microsoft doc attached to my iPad email

How can I open Microsoft doc attached to my iPad email

The document should open as an email attachment in the mail app. Did you tap on the icon in order to open the file?
However, if you want to save or edit the document, then you will need a Word compatible app on the iPad. pages, Documents To Go, quick Office Pro ... And others are available in the app store.
But you can open and read it right from the mail app as an attachment.

How well will CS5 work on my PC?

I'm looking to get CS5 Design Premium for my windows machine.
specs:
Windows 7 32bit
4Gig DDR3 RAM
Intel Core2 Duo 3.16 Wolfdale processor
Asus Motherboard with SLI compatibility
9800 GT 512meg processor
500gig HDD
Now, my question is, since I built this machine some 3 years ago, how well will CS5 work on it? For gaming this machine still runs fine, but I've never done any real Graphic Design on it.
Am I looking at a dog that needs upgrading or will this machine still run the software without bogging down?
IF I need upgrades, what components should I upgrade?
thanks

Design Premium don't have memory-eaters like Premiere or After Effects, so your configuration will fit, even with this RAM. But since more and more adobe soft uses 64-bit, you should consider 64-bit windows.

HT1390 How long can you keep a movie rental, once it's downloaded? Do u need wifi to watch it?

How long can you keep a movie rental, once it's downloaded? Do u need wifi to watch it?

As long as it's been fully downloaded then you shouldn't need to be online in order to watch it.
As to how long you have to watch it, from here :
You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library.

How much can you customize Professional level storefronts?

I know that you need to be an Enterprise user to have completely customized storefronts, but how much can you customize Professional user storefronts? What do they look like? Most magazines I've seen are Enterprise level

With a Professional account, you cannot customize the storefront. If you create a subscription app, you can specify subscription tiles and indicate with subscription durations are available, but that's about it.

Hi,
Are we sure that a voice memo can only be 35 minutes long? I only ask as I'm about to start Uni and was quite keen to use the voice memo feature to record lectures (which are definitely longer than 35mins).
Just to test (as I've never really used mine before) I might leave mine running tonight and see when it cuts out/stops.
BTW, what's iTalk....and how do I get it???
Thanks :o)

I'm trying to update my IPAD 2 to iOs 7.1.2 but don't have enough memory to do so. In I-Tunes I'm told to change my media sync options to gain more memory, but I don't know how. Can you help?

I'm trying to update my IPAD 2 to iOS 7.1.2 but don't have enough memory to do so. In I-Tunes I'm told to change my media sync options to gain more memory, but I don't know how. Can you help?

Turn off the check mark to sync your music and also the check mark for the video. Sync the device. This will remove the items from you iPad but still keep them on your computer. Install IOS 7.1.2. Then turn on the check marks for your music and videos and resync the device.

I was wondering, once the 1gb free data is applied to the account, can you downgrade your plan? If so, how low can you drop the data before the promo is affected?

I beleive you have to keep your PAID data of at least 1gb

Can you work on 2 photos at same time as you could do in previous version of adobe elements

Can you work on 2 photos at the same time e.g. transferring people from 1 photo to the other as you could in previous versions of adobe. I now have Elements 12 and I cannot find this facility.

How long can you revert back to the original photo after cropping?

Is there any time limit for how long can you revert back to the original photo after cropping? Are you always able to revert back?
Thanks.

DAM = "Digital Asset Manager", a fancy name for a filing system.
iPhoto keeps the original and makes one (usually much smaller) copy based on your edits. It is non-destructive in that if you crop, and later change the color, iPhoto will go back to the original and apply the corrections to get the new image, it will not simply modify the preview.
If you want a high quality copy of the image, use the export function which allows you to specify the size and compression.

How/where can you change the delimiters within the output file -Urgent Pls!

Hello Experts,
When Exporting data through EAS, how/where can you change the delimiters within the output file (ie. space delimited vs tab delimited vs custom)
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sonu

This is where I will be shot down in flames but at least in 7.x I am unaware of any configuration option that allows you to export in anything other than space delimited.
I guess you could write a shell/perl script that could change this outside of Essbase
