Is there a replacement for avery labels software in Lion

I just spent an hour battling one of the clumsiest pieces of software I've ever dealt with in three decades of computer use. Avery labels! Used to be a snap, under (gulp!) Windows, but now it's an unmitigated disaster.*
I have tried to use OpenOffice without much improvement; and I haven't found anything in Pages that really helps.
And it's not nice of me to bite my wife's head off when she asks me to do "a couple of labels for my latest submission." It's not her fault -- it's Avery's!
* I cannot set one format for multiple labels -- neither justification nor size -- and have it stay from one label to the next. Often when I copy and paste an address (or in this instance, title, copyright date and size for a piece of art), Avery decides to change the size on me. But when I change it back to what I had originally set . . . it accepts that. Egad!
     Also, I printed up a bunch of labels, saw some were no good. Decided I'd change them (even more than once) and print them below the existing ones. But on the same page? No way. Avery won't let me erase more than one at a time. Double egad!

Disregard this request.  I found the Lion version of AM in the \applications\utilities folder.
I have a similar problem.  The version of AM in my Applications folder does not work since upgrading from Snow Leopard.  When I click on the app file I get a screen splash saying "You can't use this version of the application Activity Monitor.app with this version of Mac OS X. You have Activity Monitor.app 10.5."  I did a finder search and this is the only version of AM.  When I downloaded OS 10.7.2 from the Apple Store there was no instruction to delete the old copy of AM prior to install.  I now have 10.7.5 and still no activity monitor.  Is there any way to download AM as a stand alone program?  Do I have any other options for reinstalling this valuable program?

  • Is there a way for my macbook air (running Lion) to access an external hard drive on my Imac (running snow leopard) specifically for Iphoto and itunes?

    Is there a way for my macbook air (running Lion 10.7.2) to access an external hard drive on my Imac (running snow leopard 10.6.8) specifically for Iphoto and itunes?

    Yes. For those two applications specifically there is sharing. This presumes both computers are on and connected to the same network.
    In iPhoto, enable sharing by (on the iMac) going to the iPhoto menu > Preferences > Sharing > check Share my photos. You can either share the entire library or only selected albums. Now on your MacBook Air, in iPhoto, go to the same preference pane and select Look for shared photos.
    iTunes has something similar. In the iTunes menu > Preferences > Sharing > check Share my library on my local network. On the other computer, look in the left column for SHARED and select the iMac. You can now play that music on the MacBook Air.
    There are other ways to share files but for those two applications this is the simplest way.
    Best of luck.

    What model of Mac?  I have a MBP running 10.7.3 and do not have that issue.  From the other couple of posts I've seen about it, it seems to be maybe an issue with some iMacs?  Have your tried searching the Lion or iMac forums for similar issues, just to see if anyone has hit on why it is happening?

  • Is there a Mac template somewhere for Avery labels?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to find a template for Avery 6 labels on 8.5 x 11 using a Mac. Where should I look? Sorry to bother with such a simple question but my Adobe Indesign help button only goes to Mac questions.

    Google brings up this: http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/Templates-&-Software/Templates/Labels/Shipping-Labels/Shi pping-Label-6-per-sheet_Adobe-InDesign.htm
    Platform is irrelevant.

  • Is there a replacement for CS6 coming out soon and what will it be called

    Is there a replacement coming out for CS 6 and what will it be called

    Adobe still sells CS6 (for now anyway).
    http://www.adobe.com/products/catalog/cs6._sl_id-contentfilter_sl_catalog_sl_software_sl_c reativesuite6.html
    Click the Buy button then I want to buy: Upgrade. Then complete your purchase.
    However, the days of upgrading every other version are gone. Before Adobe released the Cloud, starting with CS6, they amended the upgrade policy and were requiring upgrades with every version.
    But that all disappeared soon after when Adobe chose to discontinue perpetually licensed versions altogether last year and go 100% Cloud (subscription) only when they launched CC. They're still selling CS6 for those who insist on it but it'll no doubt disappear over time and there will be no CS7 perpetually licensed version.
    The future in Adobe's eyes without doubt is the Cloud, requiring monthly payments and automated periodic license checks on Adobe servers via the internet.

  • How can I get templates for Avery Labels to use with Pages.

    Prior to getting Pages I always used Word.  Word seems to bomb out on my new imac.  I need to be able to use Avery Labels, but I can't find a template for labels in Pages.  Suggestions?

    Pages doesn't have label templates built in. You can use Word templates in Pages, but I do believe that Avery now has Pages templates although I only see "holiday" ones.

  • I'm unable to run AppleScript.app after upgrading to Mavericks, is this as it should be, and is there a replacement for AppleScript?

    When I navigate to the Applications/Utiilities folder, and attempt to open the AppleScript editor I get an error popup with:
         The document "AppleScript Editor.app" could not be opened.
    Has AppleScript gone away, or is my OS Installation broken?
    Thanks,
    CraigP
    Ok, so it's broken.  Any idea how to un-break it?  For example, is there Installation Media for Mavericks that I can burn and attempt a re-install with?

    Your installation is broken.

  • How do I find template for avery labels in iPages

    I lost Word when I went to iPages.  Now I cannot find a way of finding a template to do mailing labels with Avery labels.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

    It is in the Print panel of Contacts. Pages v5 and derivate versions have no built-in Mail merge capability without AppleScript programming/integration skills.
    Build a simple mailing list in Numbers or another spreadsheet application. Export to comma separated values (CSV) file.
    In Contacts, create a new group (File > New Group), and with that new group selected, select File > Import and provide the name of the CSV file. Your new group is now populated with contact information. Clean up as needed. File > Print. You can click on the following image to enlarge.

  • Is there a Template for mailing labels from contact lists

    Is t here an app to use contact list to print lmailing labels?

    Hello Jb1947,
    I understand that you want to print mailing labels from your Contacts. If your MacBook Pro is running Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks), there is a way to print mailing labels directly from the Contacts application. The information you need is located in the following article.
    Contacts (Mavericks): Print contact information
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH15095
    Print contact information
    Select contacts or a group. If contacts in a group have multiple email addresses, street addresses, or phone numbers, you can choose which to print.Select addresses for group members
    Choose File > Print.
    Choose the print style from the Style menu, then set related options.If you don’t see the Style menu, click Show Details.
    Mailing labels:
    Click Layout and choose a label type from the Page menu. To set page margins, space between labels, and how many labels to print per page, choose Define Custom.Click Label and choose the address to print from the Addresses menu. Set any other Label options.
    Thanks for reaching out,

  • Is there a replacement for Photosmart Premier photo editor for Windows 8 ?

    I just upgraded to Windows 8 with a new HP computer but I have lost a fabulous photo editor Photosmart Premier. The drivers on my OEM cd would not install so I have downloaded all the drivers for my C4680 colour printer for Windows 8 but Photosmart was not included. Is it called something else now and I have just missed it? Thanx for your consideration. SB

    Hi SnowBird43x80. It does appear the HP Photosmart Premier photo editor is not available for Windows 8.
    The replacement software is called HP Photo Creations and is available here:

  • Is there a substitute for windows flash software?

    Is there an Apple Substitute for flash software?

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    Apps that can display some Flash from the Web:
    Puffin
    SkyFire
    Photon Flash
    Browse2Go
    iSwifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

  • Is there a replacement for Lazarus (form recovery extension for Safari)?

    I used to use Lazarus to save form content (e.g., when a poorly designed site's page validation flushes all the content after finding something to nitpick).  After upgrading to Mavericks a few weeks ago, I noticed that Lazarus was no longer working.  The developers site (http://getlazarus.com ) is still active (though the "contact us" form fails to accept any submissions), but there doesn't appear to have been an update to the extension for over a year.
    Is there any other extension/trick for saving Safari form content (and repopulating it when returning to a form/field)?

    I, too, was sad to see Lazarus break.  It appears the developers abandoned it, and certainly aren't paying attention to Safari usage.
    I've found this to be a passable alternative:  http://userscripts-mirror.org/scripts/show/42879
    This can be installed via any Safari extension that can inject userscripts into webpages, like the old "NinjaKit" or the new "Javascript Blocker."

  • Is there a replacement for Adobe Flash Player?
