? about Office 2008...didn't know where else to get help

Microsoft was absolutely no help with this issue I have been dealing with.
I have Office 2008 and was having difficulty with it freezing up, etc. I ran the autoupdate program from Word and it says that I need to install Autoupdate 2.1.1. I can't tell you how many times I have tried to install it! I have downloaded it from their website and also from Word and it is as if I have never installed it. In the meantime, I can't install any of the regular Office 12.1.xxxx updates. Are the two tied together? How can I fix this? Thanks for your help!!!
Why do I keep going back to MS???

Sadly they rarely are.
Have you considered switching to a real Office Suite like OpenOffice or NeoOffice, either of which are at least 99.99% MSOffice compatible, are free and never have any problems.

Yes, that's MSOffice alright.
Why do I keep going back to MS???
I don't know. As I noted, there are far superior options available.

Forgive me, I'm not completely knowledgeable on my mac, so I don't know what airport I have, but as I've seen around here a lot of people are having problems with airport extreme. I have a Powerbook G4 i bought in 05 that is having a difficult time connecting to my router. it is a netgear WPN824 router. I don't know if that mac has Airport extreme or not, so I was hoping you could tell me so I knew how to approach the problem. I think there's a problem with my router because not only can my mac not connect, but my ps3 and psp also cannot.
We get signal throughout the house, but we cant get online other than on my imac desktop. Is there ANY help i can get? I have looked around the other posts about similar problems, but I didnt get any information that worked for me. please help. I dont want to call Geek Squad and get raped in prices.

Second step. Make sure all of your Macs are running the latest version of the OS - 10.5.5 (You tag line shows 10.5.3)
Best way to do this:
Open Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions
Download the 10.5.5 updater from http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_5_ComboUpdate
Open and run the 10.5.5 Combo Updater.
Restart the Mac then Open Disk Utility and run Repair Permissions again.
If you have already used Software Update to update your systems to 10.5.5, it is still a good idea to run the Combo updater. Apparently it does a better job with fewer glitches than the SU incremental updater.
If those two steps don't work, post in this forum: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1222
Hope that helps.

Sorry, I didn't know where else to put this. My email was hacked so I had to make a new one and naturally I changed my iTunes account too. I had previously redeemed a $50 gift card on my own account and was wondering if there was any way in restoring it?

Where else to get help if no responses on this forum?

Hi All,
I posted a thread a couple of days ago without response (subject: ORA-20001: get_dbms_sql_cursor error ORA-01747: invalid user.table.column). If no help is forthcoming through this forum, what are other avenues I can pursue to get assistance?
Thanks,
Kristina

Good afternoon Kristina,
I don't think you are getting no responses because people are just ignoring you. For APEX issues, this is the place for answers. I believe that the issue might be that everyone that looks at your question may think that it is more of a SQL or PL/SQL question - when infact, it is an upgrade question.
I do not have any APEX 4.1 experience so I can only speak to generalities. However, I would suggest that you might want to make sure that all of the access rights are the same for your 3.1 application and your 4.1 application.
Did you convert into a new database? or in place? If a new database, you may need to make sure that APEX_PUBLIC_USER (or whatever user you have designated) has access to all of the tables/views and the like that you are using... and has proper execution rights on stored packages, functions and procedures.
I realize that this should seem a very simplistic answer, but again, having no experience with APEX 4.1, it is all that I can offer.
I hope this helps. If not, I hope that my response can at least prompt those that might know to go back and review your [url https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2333915&tstart=60]original post.
Good luck,
Don.

What's the model number of your Lexmark printer?

I am trying to change pixels to 1920x1920 from the crop custom. It reverts to 2000x2000. I need 1920x1920 for art show jurying. Thanks for a quick reply. . If you don't know where do I get help....nothing in iPhoto help!.

I am trying to change pixels to 1920x1920 in iphoto. I used crop, custom and it change. When I looked at my photo information it was 2000x2000. I have tried numerious times to no avail.....! I need the 1920 specific size for art show jurying. Love the ease of the iphoto, am new to mac, used adobe before, but seems it is better. So, any advice???? Thanks

crop to any square ratio (1x1 -- 1920x1920 -- any square) and then export the photo using a custom size with the maximum dimension of 1920 - cropping is actually by default just a ratio not a size - the size is set during export

Where can I get HELP in German for PSE 8 ?

I have bought Adobe Photoshop Elemnts 8 & Adobe Prem
iere Elements 8 and registered it. Now I can´t find Support in german?! The Website and Help ist just confusing me. Where can I get help about a question I have concerning the file-dates after updating from Adobe Photoshop Elements 5 to PSE 8: All my files now have a new Date!
Thanks for giving me a link to a german support-page for PSE 8!

> Sometimes the Organizer will silently lose the date/time of a file that you’ve set with Edit > Adjust Date And Time.
I just importet my files into the organizer
> This can happen when you invoke the full Editor, Edit > Update Thumbnail,
In the help-file in the German PSE8 it was recommended to update thumbnails! Perhaps this is the reason. But how can I be sure?
I have registered online Photoshop Elements 8 and Premiere Elements 8 but I don´t know how to get advice directly from Adobe in Germany or at least in german language. Does someone know where I could get help from an Adobe employee?
Thanks!

I don't know where else to ask this: Quick Question about Logic Platinum 6

Hi everyone,
This question actually pertains to a copy of Logic Platinum 6 I own but I don't know where else to ask it, so here I am in the Logic 8 forum.
I haven't touched Logic in a year or maybe two, and I just installed it on my computer and after attempting to start it up with two different XS keys (I thought I lost one so I have a replacement and I forget which one is the active one) it says "no XS key found" to both of them.
I want to upgrade to Logic 8 but in the mean time I can't even get Logic 6 to recognize my XS key.
Please help me out if you have any information that would be beneficial or know where I could seek help!
Thank you!
Colin C.

When you plugin them in, are they recognised in System Profiler? Try differnt ports, connecting them directly and not on a hub. Try on a different computer if necessary.

Didnt know where else...

i didnt know where else to post this, so...
i thought that the bundled software from MSI that came with my videocard was worthless. and, i guess, some of it is... it seemed like everything on the cd's, i could find something free and better somewhere else. well, i found out thats not entirely true.
there is one disk which has 2 fairly useful programs. Virtual Drive and Restore IT! Professional. the Restore IT program caught my eye, so i searched on the net about it. a company called Farstone created it, and i looked at a comparison with the Windows XP Restore, since i'm running XP Pro. it definitely has more features and is much more capable than the XP Restore. so already, i was interested. then, last week, the inevitible happened. i messed up my system, and could not get my display drivers re-installed. it would just not accept anything i did. and because XP Restore was so incapable, i found myself with only one choice. re-format my harddrive and install a fresh copy of Windows. i was gonna have to do this eventually anyway, but i wasnt happy that i was forced to do it.
well, now, from the other side of that format, i have put this program on my system. when it installs, it takes a chunk of your harddrive (you decide how much you want to commit) and gives it a new partition. this partition is only viewable thru the program itself, i could not even see it in the Administrative Tools and Disk Management. that partition is the space that is set aside for only one thing - restore point images. no, you dont have to worry that you will have to re-format your entire harddrive, the program grabs the space you decide upon, and does that whole process itself. everything else in Windows still has FULL functionality without having to re-do anything.
anyway. i commited 3.8 gig to hold restore points cause i didnt have any idea how big a restore point actually is, and 3.8 is about a tenth of my total harddrive. you can manually set the program to create a point every time Windows starts, once a day, once every X hours, or create them manually. this is much more flexible than the XP Restore, that only creates a point when you install a program or when you manually create one on your own. each time you install is nice, but as it often is, i dont realize that i shouldnt have done what i did until WAAAYYY after i installed something and messed around with everything else to fix it. by then its too late. and what happens if you get a virus? what happens if you accidentally erase the wrong harddrive and re-format it (yeah, thats pretty inconceivable, but i'm sure its happened to someone somewhere before....in a galaxy far, far away)? i looked at the size of my one restore piont i have so far and how much of my partition is left for more points. it only took up 19.8mb. i dont know if its always around that size, but if it is, thats spectacular! we will see, and i will keep you informed.
THANKS, MSI, FOR THAT PRODUCT, I FORSEE IT SAVING MY LIFE IN THE FUTURE!

Congatulations!
You've been elected, you've been selected!
Now go hose your config and see if it really works! JK
You can determine the size XP allocates for it's restore points on each partition, it uses the FIFO method when the size is exceeded, First In First Out. Does this proggy use the same method or will it notify you when you are reaching the allocated space limit?
Also a good time saver is the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard foound in the Programs/Sytem Tools, you can save the file(s) to a CD so when you have to reload the OS, I've used it a few times already, it's a timesaver for sure.

Hi folks, I don't know where else to go!

Hi everyone,
I'm using a Power Mac G5 1.6 gHZ, 80 gig drive. 1G of memory.
I don't know where else to post this, so if everyone can bare with me.
I have iLife '05 on my computer. I'm trying to upgrade to iLife '06. I can't even get the DVD to install the software onto my computer. I get to the point of registering and then receive a message that there was an error and to try installing again. I don't know what to do now.
Thanks everyone,

Hi Mike,
I'm moving my question to the location that Jeff suggested. I don't have another computer to try the disk in, however, since I've tried installing the iLife disk, I'm having problems trying to install completely different software.
Thanks,
Scott

I have old Macintosh LC that recently passed on, anyone know where I can get this repaired or have the data transferred into something else?

I have an old Macintosh LC that recently went down. I am located in the Portsmouth, NH area.
Anyone know where I can get this repaired or have the data transferred??

How much $$ do you care to spend to transfer the data on the LC's 40 or 80 MB hard drive? The original LC is now 21 years-old and has little if any market value (I know - I have an LC I and an LC III), so professional repair will easily exceed that. It's considered "obsolete" by Apple's authorized repair shops, so parts are not available. Was it starting up normally before it stopped working, and if so, were the date & time always correct after it had been disconnected from an electrical outlet? If not and if startups have been hit or miss for a while, your LC undoubtedly needs a new PRAM battery installed. It's a 3.6-volt ½AA lithium battery and is installed in a black plastic holder w/retainer cover clipped over it on the LC's motherboard. The battery can be purchased at battery specialty retailers for about $8 or less, as well as from a number of online merchants. If you don't mind paying 2-3 times the value of the battery, Radio Shack carries it. If you need directions for installing the battery, post back. It's the least expensive thing to try and a new battery has brought many a dead Mac back from the dead. As for the internal hard drive, it could be removed and installed in a slightly newer, pre-G3 Power Mac having an internal SCSI bus. If there are any thrift stores in your area, you might find a suitable Mac for this purpose. This would involve removal of the hard drive from the LC and installation in the newer Mac, with a slight change in the LC's SCSI address jumper placement. Once installed in the newer Mac, the files could be copied. If this is more challenging than you planned on, you might check your area for a Mac User Group, where you might be able to take your LC and have someone transfer the files for you. After the files have been transferred to another medium, you may have problems trying to open them on a newer Mac running a newer OS version than the LC's (System 7.0, 7.1, 7.5.x, or 7.6), if the programs aren't compatible.

Does anyone know what is the best version of word I can have on my older mac mini 10.5.8 PPC? I am running Leopard. Does anyone have it or know where I can get it please?

I agree with Grant. But to answer your question, that would be Word 2008. A quick search turns it up on sale at Amazon. You'll need to find it somewhere other than Microsoft itself, since MS stopped selling it when they released Word 2011.

Anyone know where I can get Oracle 7.3 client for windows from ?

As per title anyone know where I can get the Oracle 7.3 client libraries from ?

Doubt that Oracle will do that, or have a valid case - nor will it be in their best interest seeing that this is part of a migration to a later Oracle version (which means revenue for Oracle).

If I set up a secure FTP site would anyone be able to upload an ISO of the 7.3 client disk ?I will have a look to see for that Oracle Workgroup CD (it was a "free trial" distro at the time which I picked up at the local Oracle offices). The problem however is bandwidth cap. I'm still in a part of the world where broadband means around 32Kb/s thruput and being limited to the amount of b/w one can use (I'm capped to only using 5GB per month - which is not much).
I suggest however to log a service request with support.oracle.com - you are likely to resolve the problem much faster that way.
