Alphabetize text edit file.paid, ad free, app?

Model Name:          MacBook Pro

I strongly prefer hassle free, ad free, NON free application that easily accomplishes this task:
copy and paste a list in eg. Textedit to an (undisclosed as of now!!! ) App, that sorts a list of words in alphabetical order-
then I would presumably re paste it back to Textedit...
That is, unless this new app is really cool as an organizing tool unto itself!! , in which case I would put my word lists in this new app.
You know, something like EverNote
but any reliable hassle free ad free app is fine too.
Thank you Apple Support Community

Why not try TextWrangler as an alternative to TextEdit. As long as you're just dealing with plain txt (no styling or other fanciness), it will do a far better job, and can sort (ie, alphabetize). It's free, but is of higher quality than many paid apps, and has no ads.

Try adding .epub to the end of the name.
I assume you are aware that to open an .epub file you need a special app, not TextEdit or Pages, right?

Using apple configurator can i install paid and free apps onto a supervised ipad?

I have read somewhere that you can only put free apps onto an unsupervised device and only paid apps can be put on a supervised device. Does this mean that an ipad cannot have both free and paid apps on it at once?

Hi Samantha,
You can have both free and paid apps on Supervised iPads. Not sure where you read that you couldn't... We have both paid and free apps on all of our 1,000+ iPads in our school district.
Hope this answers your question!

Can't save my Text Edit files!

Hope I'm in the right forum. This started yesterday and I don't know why or how to fix it.
I can't save my Text Edit Files (rtf). I got 1 error message that can't save file until problem is fixed but I have no idea what the problem is.
Running Text Edit 1.7.1 (289.5). iMac OS 10.7.5
Can Someone help?
Thanks
Allen

Hi,
I've been having a similar problem with nonsensical error messages from text edit when I try to save. Repairing permissions doesn't seem to have helped, but I have found that checking the 'hide extension' box in the save window seems to get around it.
cheers all

How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store

Downloads open as Text Edit files

Hi, I bought my first Mac a couple of weeks ago (never been able to afford one before!) and it's proving to be as amazing as I expected, but I'm still trying to work lots of things out.
When I try to download files from the internet or from email attachments they go to my downloads folder but when I open them they come up as what looks like a computer code in a Text Edit window.
At first I thought this was because I was trying to open Windows only file types but I just tried to download a game that was supposed to be for Mac only and it happened here as well. (This is the website I was trying to download from: http://absolutist.com/mac/bubble_shooter/ )
I appreciate I'm probably being a moron but I've trawled the forums here and can't seem to find an answer - any help would be very welcome.
Thanks

To The Apple Discussion Boards!
After you click on the download link a window will pop up showing you what type of file it is you are trying to download. In this case, it's a .sit file.
In the center of the window you will see:
_*Open With.*_ Make sure this is selected.
Now check to see what application/program is selected to open your files. It appears to be some text edit program. You will need to select an application that you want to open your .sit files or all your files for that matter.
I personally, use the free Stuffit Expander to open all my files instead of depending on the OS to open them.
You can download Stuffit Expander from VersionTracker.

Why do I need a credit card number on file to download free apps?

I've had this itunes account for several years. The last CC that I had on file for making purchases has been lost (and reported as such). So, obviously my payment information regarding that card is no longer valid and I can no longer make purchases. Understandable.
I am, however, still waiting for a new card to be sent to me before I can go in an update the information.
What is boggling me is that when I attempt to download updates or other free applications, itunes (on my phone) keeps asking me to sign in and provide payment information (which I do not have). It will not let me download any free apps or updates without it.
1. Why?
2. How do people who use gift cards or paypal use this function on their iphone/itouch? (or, really anyone who either doesn't have a CC or doesn't want to use it). There's GOT to be a way when I see other people walking around with their iphones/itouches dl'ing free apps just presumably without a linked credit card on their account. Right?
I know all I really need to do is wait for my card and update my info when it gets here, but there are some pretty important updates that I kind of need now.

You can create an App store account without a credit card, however that won't help you with updating your previous purchases. Apps are DRM protected, and tied to the account that was used to originally purchase them. There is no way to overcome this DRM protection or transfer them to another account(Itunes support can if you contact them). If you want to create an App store account without a credit card, follow the directions here, but bear in mind the DRM protection mentioned. If you use this account to download free apps, you will have to use this same account for all future updates:

Sharing an editable file and sending the app to the publisher

Hello. I am a little confused about some parts of working with apps in dps. We are two persons working together, and therefore, of course, we would like to share the apps we create. But from InDesign it seems that the files can only go one way, and that is up in the cloud. I found out that I can download the .folio (even though it is very cryptic to do so) from Folio Producer, but I cannot download anything editable, which will be necessary if we are to collaborate between more computers. In addition, it would be very convenient to be able to share a file in the process of making it, before I upload it, select icon pictures etc. and press that blue publish button. This is a very time-consuming process.
Also we would like to send the apps to the publishers that we are working for, so they can upload them with their Apple account, not ours. We do not want to pay monthly for their books. If we send the .folio file (the one I got by pressing publish in Folio Producer and then export) to them, would they be able to publish the app by uploading it to Apple?
I should mention that I am only using the free version of Creative Cloud. I don't know if this has any limitations relevant for these problems. I know that I can pay extra to be able to share in the cloud, but that does not change the fact, I think, that you cannot edit the files that you download. I am not even able to edit my own files uploaded and downloaded with the same computer and the same account.
Thank you in advance.

Can you explain how you currently collaborate when designing a book that you can't do with DPS? You may just need some guidance on best practices with DPS. DPS has several built in collaboration features.
You can create a folio and share it with another user. That user can contribute articles to your folio and view your content both on device and on the desktop.
You can create a folio, builda single edition app, sign it with a developer certificate and another user can load it on their device for viewing.
You can create Indesign files and share them with another user via dropbox or sneaker net. That other person can create folios with these files for no charge and view on device and desktop.
Create a folio, publish it and share the web viewer URL with another user so they can view it in a browser.
About the only collaboration mechanism DPS doesn't support is the generatio of a folio that can be emailed to another user for viewing.

How come I cannot attach a text edit file?

Hi,
I created a TextEdit file and I also included several photos within the document. The document is an RTF file "with attachments". I want to e-mail this to a friend. When I go to send it, the document is grayed out and will not allow me to select it. I am fairly certain that by placing .jpgs into the document I have created this problem. Is there a way to do a "save as" so that I can e-mail my document?
thanks!
Gary

Hi I wonder if you could help me with the same problem. At first all the files in my directories could be uploaded. Now I can't even attach the smallest .pages files - surely all files should normally be able to be attached to a Safari emails unless they're massive jpg files.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Why do I have to put my credit card on file to download free apps?

I'm trying to download "iheart radio" to my ipod touch, but I can't because I've never set my account up with a credit card... It just takes me to the register screen with the TOS and the billing information...

Hi, Dasfonzie:
Take a look at the following article:

Text edit file DS Store

After upgrading to Leopard, my office Mac now automatically opens a TextEdit file titled ".DS_Store"; the contents of which is: "Bud1

Two things
first, check that textedit is not listed in your Login Items list in the Accounts folder.
Then, find the file,
com.apple.TextEdit.plist
which is in your "User"/Preferences folder where "User" is your short login name. (Use Finder to locate it). This file is probably corrupt.
Take this .plist file and drag it into the trash. Do not flush!
Now restart and see if your problem goes away.
If everything is OK you can now delete the trash at your leisure.
If you still have the problem, post back.

Simple text edit html files will not display as web pages using Safari

How does one get Text Edit files saved as HTML to display as a web page rather than showing the code as written? It appears that somehow some sort of code generator is being invoked and causing this to happen. I am not trying to do anything complex, just simple files like "Hello World".

Hi ..
Make sure you are following the instructions as noted here > Creating a Basic Web Page
You may need to turn off all Safari extensions.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
Switch to OFF.
Then see if it reads as HTML or Hello World.

Text Edit: Saving says "This File Does Not Exist"

When I'm in Text Edit, it often won't let me save- claiming the file does not exist. Sometimes I'll open an older Text Edit file and make an edit, go to save again, and I get the same message. To remedy, it will let me save to the Desktop instead of say, a folder on the server that I'm working in. But even then- there are times that it will say the file does not exist when I go to save to the Desktop, but then it will just save it there anyway. Then I have to do a drag and drop into the correct folder I needed in the first place.
This doesn't happen all the time, but it happens enough for me to think something is clearly wrong. Just to give a run-down, this happens on my work computer. It's a Mac desktop. Running Mac OS X Version 10.6.8. If anyone has any thoughts on the problem, I'm all ears. I'm also not terribly tech savvy in the way some other people are in this community. But I know my way around a computer pretty well.

Copied from another thread for those who can't find the solution:
"The problem when you get that "The document Untitled could not be saved as "-----" . The file doesn't exist" message is actually nothing more than a Pathway problem. The pathway Text Edit wants to use has been corrupted and TextEdit has no idea where to turn.
Odds are VERY likely that if you look at the "start" folder of the path from which you are trying to save (and from which you probably save regularly), it is NOT the Top-Level Hard Drive Folder, but some folder inside the hard drive, possibly nested several layers in.
To Fix This:
1) Create any New TextEdit document, and click Save.
2) When the Save Dialogue box pops up, navigate BACKWARDS to the absolute Top Level Folder of your Mac (probably called something like "Macintosh HD" or the like - we are talking the level ABOVE your User name / account).
3) Click on that Top Level, and then navigate from there down through your User account to the actual folder where you would like to save your document. It does not matter how deep your desired folder is located as long as you Start from the absolute Top Level of your entire system.
4) Click Save. It should save Just Fine.
What you basically just did was tell your Mac which way to turn - the "directions" the Mac was using got corrupted and the TextEdit save process got lost in the woods. Doing the steps above sets the save process back on the correct path."

Why won't Text Edit and Preview open in Lion?

I have installed Lion over Snow Leopard on my MacPro Dual Core Intel Xeon AND also mad a clean installation on an external hard drive.
In neither case will Text Edit or Preview open.
When I first log into Lion as the various application open on the desktop I notice that a couple of Text Edit files on the desktop mount a coloured icon. After everything is done the icons revert to a grey and white one with a grey "RTF" in place of the picture.
I found the same problem with pages (1Work 9.0) but then I found and upgrade in the Lion recovery pages on the Apple website. Unfortunately there is nothing similar for Text Edit or Preview.
Otherwise everything else seems to work.

I just found the solution on our problen on another post entitled:
After upgraded to LION, Preview.app and Textedit.app keep crash
The problem only occurred on one account on my machine. For that account the ownership on the "Library" folder at the root level of that account was wrong. I set it to the credentials of that user (me) and now both Preview and TextEdit open and work without crashing. This is a hidden folder when in the Finder, but I use the Terminal application a lot, and from there I did a chown to change the owner and group of the Library folder. An additional problem is that you need to have root access to make the change.
The discussion I refer to above gives the procedure to use when in the Finder, so if you're not familiar with using the Terminal window, that is probably the best solution. In that discussion, see the post from Silvertoe on Jul 21, 2011 10:08 PM.
Good luck.
