I've used AppleWorks for years and I really would like to see iWork improve on AppleWorks. My question is this: Can I use Pages to mail merge with a database? Let me explain in more detail. I have certificates that I need to print every year. They come two per US letter sheet (w/ perforations) so each cert is 8.5x5.5. With AppleWorks I could set up a database to merge in the name and then add other info like dates and titles so that the merge program would print a different name on each of the two certs. I read how one can merge with the Address Book but I don't see how that would meet my needs. Any ideas?

You can merge any kind of data in Pages as long as you can figure out how to put that data into Address Book. I know, this is ... limiting and honestly, it is one of the reasons I can't get rid of Word. If you don't have Word, look at NeoOffice.
Now, about two years ago I did some experimentation for my user group - my challenge was to set up our new secretary who had only Pages and no interest to learn anything else - so she could send out mass mailings to our members and she needed more than names and addresses. Since Address Book lets us have lots of relationships, email addresses and phone numbers I was able to create what she needed. Of course I had to remember that work email was really type of computer owned, etc, but once I set up the template it was fine.
Now I know you are thinking, I don't want my address book all clogged up with data like that. And that's where RooSwitch comes in. RooSwitch lets you create alternative preferences for programs. So when Maggie wanted to send out our monthly newsletter, she'd run RooSwitch and select the user group's profile for Address Book. Then she merged the newsletter and quit Address Book. Next time, starting it up in the usual way, she got her Address Book and not the user group's. An ideal situation? No, but needs must.

hi, i am trying to open and view a report that comes from another server with different odbc connection

How can i get music to another account?
I had another account with apple with was [email protected] but i had to give that one to my boyfriend cause i gave him my old my ipad and he didnt have a email account so i let him use that one which i had bought so ablums on that account and i had to have dell restart my whole comp just a few days ago and now i cant get the ablums i bought on the other account onto my new account with my iphone what can i do to get that fixed?
Content acquired with an Apple ID is permanently tied to that Apple ID. There is no way to transfer media from one Apple ID to another.
For what silly reason would anyone give away their Apple ID? Just because the bf did not have one is no reason to give him your Apple ID. Make him create his own. Email addresses from Hotmail, Yahoo, Gmail and many others are free. -
How can I move an e mail account from one family pack to another
I have an e mail address (not main family pack e mail address) and I would like to move it to another family pack. Is this possible and if so how?
ThanksCaroline12, Welcome to the discussion area!
I believe that your question is about a Mobile Me family pack account. If that is true, I believe that the answer is no.
But your probably should post your question in the Apple.com > Support > Discussions > MobileMe discussion area. -
Can I put more than one user under one Apple ID account. I want to let other family members use imessage on their own Apple device. Or is there another way to get this end result?
You can seach the net for solutions like this one http://appletvvpn.com/how-to-connect-apple-tv-2-to-vpn/ another idea is to use a PC as the control and fit that with a wireless card and set up a ad hoc wireless network that the Apple TV uses.

How can i transfer credits from one account to another that I own ?
Due to some personal issues I created multiple apple id accounts. I accidently added itunes credit to the account not associated with an app that I want to make a purchase on. Is there anyway I can transfer those funds to the proper account ?
Apple has never permitted any form of merging of Apple ID related accounts. All apps, and purchases in one account are permanently tied to that account and cannot be transfered to another.
You can try communicating with the store support staff and see if they can do something to help: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/ituens/contact.html -
Can you check for data in one table or another but not both in one query?
I have a situation where I need to link two tables together but the data may be in another (archive) table or different records are in both but I want the latest record from either table:
ACCOUNT
AccountID Name
123 John Doe
124 Jane Donaldson
125 Harold Douglas
MARKETER_ACCOUNT
Key AccountID Marketer StartDate EndDate
1001 123 10526 8/3/2008 9/27/2009
1017 123 10987 9/28/2009 12/31/4712 (high date ~ which means currently with this marketer)
1023 124 10541 12/03/2010 12/31/4712
ARCHIVE
Key AccountID Marketer StartDate EndDate
1015 124 10526 8/3/2008 12/02/2010
1033 125 10987 01/01/2011 01/31/2012
So my query needs to return the following:
123 John Doe 10526 8/3/2008 9/27/2009
124 Jane Donaldson 10541 12/03/2010 12/31/4712 (this is the later of the two records for this account between archive and marketer_account tables)
125 Harold Douglas 10987 01/01/2011 01/31/2012 (he is only in archive, so get this record)
I'm unsure how to proceed in one query. Note that I am reading in possibly multiple accounts at a time and returning a collection back to .net
open CURSOR_ACCT
select AccountID
from
ACCOUNT A,
MARKETER_ACCOUNT M,
ARCHIVE R
where A.AccountID = nvl((select max(M.EndDate) from Marketer_account M2
where M2.AccountID = A.AccountID),
(select max(R.EndDate) from Archive R2
where R2.AccountID = A.AccountID)
and upper(A.Name) like parameter || '%'
<can you do a NVL like this? probably not... I want to be able to get the MAX record for that account off the MarketerACcount table OR the max record for that account off the Archive table, but not both>
(parameter could be "DO", so I return all names starting with DO...)if I understand your description I would assume that for John Dow we would expect the second row from marketer_account ("high date ~ which means currently with this marketer"). Here is a solution with analytic functions:
drop table account;

from account a
join filtered_basedata b
on (a.id = b.AccountId)

If your tables are big it could be necessary to do the filtering (according to your condition) in an early step (the first CTE).

I have deployed 2 different web application on IIS 7.5 running on Windows Server 2008 R2 but on different port numbers i.e. one application deployed on port no. 1776 and another on 8091. I want to rewrite URL in such a way that if i hit any page of first
application such as default.aspx then it will be redirected to particular page of another application along with some changes in url.
Example: if i access any page from first application like:
http://g2wv126rbsc:1776/sites/main/commercial/commercial-solutions/financing/default1.aspx
then it should redirect to specific page of another application along with some changes in url:
http://g2wv126rbsc:8091/main/commercial/commercial-solutions/financing/default2.aspx
Note: In above mentioned url, also removed "sites".
I tried to create a inbound rule through URL Rewrite module (installed on IIS 7.5) by selecting Action as "Rewrite" but didn't find any success.
I need some examples if anyone has come across same kind of issue.
Thanks in advance.Please post ASP.NET questions in the ASP.NET forums (http://forums.asp.net ).

I am unable to open my Photoshop program after installing the entire Creative Suite: Premium Production 6. All other programs work, but with Photoshop it says that it "Could not open a scratch file because the file is locked, you do not have necessary access permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file." Then I select "OK" and the next message comes up "Could not initialize Photoshop because the file is locked, you do not have the necessary permissions, or another program is using the file. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock this file. I installed all of the programs on the same day from a CD. I need this fixed immediately.
I am not interested in switching to Creative Cloud, so don't even suggest it. I spoke to Mashmi (or something to that effect) on the "Support" Chat and there was absolutely no support. Useless actually.

Need help for trying to unfreeze a message on my ical. I was trying to copy and paste some appointment info from one day to another on my ical and a message popped up saying the system responded with an error. All of my info was below the message. I can't get that message to go away or work on the ical now at all. I try to force quit ical and have shut down the computer and it still comes up. Any suggestions?
K,
Try removing the com.apple.iCal.plist file from your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder. To find that Library folder, if you are using Lion, use Finder>Go Menu>Depress the "Option" key>Library. Drag the .plist file to your desktop, and log out/in or restart.
Next, make sure that you are not connected to the internet. Then to to your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Calendars Folder and remove any files with "Cache" as a part of the file name. Use the same method as listed above to get to the correct Library Folder. Log out/in, or restart and check iCal for functionality. -
Several weeks ago, I began to have some very strange internet connection issues. All the lights on my modem stay on and my computer shows full wi-fi signal, but I suddenly I won't be able to load any pages. Other times, I'll be able to load pages from one site, but not another. It's not the same sites all the time though.... sometimes I'll be able to load pages from one site and not another, and then 5 minutes later it'll switch and I'll be able to load pages from the site I previously couldn't and I won't be able to load pages from the site I previously could. A lot of pages are coming up just text with no pics... and then 5 mintues later that site will load normally and another site will come up just text. It does the same thing whether I'm connecting wirelessly or via an ethernet cable. It also doesn't matter which browser I use (I've tried Safari, Chrome, and Firefox). Although, once in a while when using chrome, I get a DNS error page instead of the usual 'cannot find server'. I contacted my service provider and I'm not losing speed or dropping packets. According to them, the problem I'm having is very strange since diagnostic tests show no problems at all. Perhaps someone has run into this before and has a suggestion?
Then if you have tried all the browsers try connecting the system to yoour router with an Ethernet cable and turn WiFi off. If you have the same problem then it more then likely after your computer, Router or modem or connection from your ISP.
If you get good browsing with the Ethernet cable then it is either the WiFi card in your Mac or the WiFi system in your router. -
Trying to show() and play() a symbol from inside another symbol
Hi Everyone !
I'm running into a problem which is getting me crazy.
I have the following case :
- 1 symbol (_Page_Background) containing an animation with the following trigger @0s :
// Hiding the symbol
sym.getParentSymbol().$("_Page_Background").hide();
// Stop it
sym.stop();
- 1 element (B_TOYS), inside of a symbol (BUTTONS) with the following "click" trigger :
// Showing the _Page_Background symbol
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("_Page_Background").show();
// Start playing it
sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("_Page_Background").play("INTRO");
The Symbol _Page_Background starts hidden, like it should. But when I click on the button (B_TOYS), nothing happens. Although, everything was working correctly before I turned my buttons into symbols ..
I guess the problems lies with the "show()" function, because I have other buttons that work properly but they don't show/hide anything, they just play()
Am I missing something ?!
Thanks in advance for your kind help !Hi Dimitri,
Think of symbols as independent timelines that can contain other elements, or instances of other symbols. The Stage/main timeline is a symbol as well. Scripting calls are scoped to the symbol that the script is in. The keyword sym stands for the symbol that you're in with the script.
So if your script is at the same level as what you are targeting with it:
Use sym.$("elementName") to access an element's properties
Use sym.getSymbol("symbolName") to access a symbol's timeline. If there's another symbol inside that symbol that you want to access, you'd use sym.getSymbol("symbolName").getSymbol("childSymbolName")...that's only two levels deep, but you can go as deep as needs be.
If you're trying to access an element in a symbol, you'd combine these two, such as sym.getSymbol("symbolName").$("elementName")
When your script is within a symbol and you want to access an element or symbol outside of the symbol timeline:
Use sym.getParent() to get to any elements that are in the parent symbol (the symbol which contains the symbol you're calling from), which could be the Stage or could be another parent symbol
Use sym.getComposition().getStage() from any symbol level to access things at the main Stage level. You can also dive into a symbol on the Stage from any symbol using sym.getComposition().getStage().getSymbol("symbolName").
All is explained in detail here:

My itunes account is attached to an email account that I no longer have and cannot retrieve. I have been having trouble with purchases made to my itunes account and want to view my purchases. The support center said that they would email me the purchase history. However, I don't have that email address. When I go to change my email address to my current one, I get a message in red saying that "the email address is already verified for another Apple I.D." I'm sure it is one of my devices as we have 4 ipods and 2 iphones. How can I get my account to use my current email address? If one of my devices was registered using my current email address as it apparently was, do I need to figure out which device that is and remove the email address from that account? I'm so confused. I just want ALL my devices to use my current email address. I need to replace the old email address with my current one. How do I do that?
thanks for any assistance.Your best bet would be to try resetting the password to the account that you would like to use via iForgot
Once you log in to that account change the email address to anything, it can even be fake its just a placeholder
After you do that you will be free to change your old email address on your appleID to the new one that is now free to be used as it is no longer attached to the other account. -
How to call a rtf template from another rtf template by passing a value
Hi Gurus,
Its about calling a rtf template from another rtf template by passing a value.
My requirement is like:
I got a quote report from Siebel, based on the product PartNumber I need to pull product description or literature from another database database.
My approach is something like; get a partnumber from quote report pass it to another rtf template which uses the partnumber and get the data from table using DataSource. When user pull a quote report from siebel this new rtf template should attach to the quote at the end.
I've gone through all available blogs about sub-reports and white papers from Oracle they are not much helpful since I need step-by-step.

When user pull a quote report from siebel this new rtf template should attach to the quote at the end.it'll be only another report
IMHO you can not attach it to main. it'll be second independent report
you can try subtemplate but it's not about rtf from rtf by click
it's about call automatically rtf subtemplate from main rtf based on some conditions
for example, main template contain some data and if some condition is true then call subtemplate and place it instead of its condition
