Any place to download additional shapes, clip art, etc?

Relative Mac Newbie here (and even more so for iWork/Keynote).
While I still use Word and PowerPoint (for Mac), I'm trying to see how Pages and Keynote would work for me. (Love the idea of completely weening myself from Micro$oft!)
In Keynote, I find the number of "shapes" really limiting, as well as the lack of integrated clip art.
Is there anywhere I can download additional shapes, clipart, themes, etc?
Thanks!

An alternative to using Powerpoint is to import SVG files into Keynote using the command-line utility I developed:
http://mcb.berkeley.edu/labs/zusman/dave/svg2key/
With it you can create shapes in a graphics editor such as Inkscape or Illustrator then import them into Keynote via SVG.
Be sure to check out The Open Clip Art Library at www.openclipart.org for some royalty-free SVG files.

Inserting Clip Art In A Pages 09 Document

How do you insert clip art in to a Pages 09 document? I am new to iWork after using Appleworks for many years. I have many CDs of Nova Art Explosion Clip Art that I want to use in my documents. I can not seem to find any information on how to insert clip art. All help greatly appreciated.

John,
Just to let you know Pages does not use .wmf and .pict is mostly history now.
*The main formats that Pages will use are:*
.jpeg, jpeg2000, .tif, .png, .gif, .pdf and .ai saved with .pdf preview.
Of the *Nova Art Explosion Clip Art* the most useful will be the vector .eps files which Pages will convert to .pdf when imported.
*Best is to open and convert the .eps clipart in Preview*
Which does several things:
1. It converts them to .pdf
2. It converts them to color managed cmyk
3. It shrinks the image selection to the image's bounding box ie gets rid of all the background and only selects the image.
4. As long as there is no opaque background drawn as part of the clipart, you will have a transparent background.
5. It will save the file as a very small .pdf file
6. The pdf file will be viewable in Finder on the *Icon Preview* or in CoverFlow, also when you view it in your *Open dialog box*.
*There are 4 ways to import the clipart*
1. Drag and drop it into Pages from Finder.
If you drop it into text it will become an inline graphic and act as it it was a character in the text, moving with the text.
If you drop it on a non-text area it will create its own image box and fill it.
If you drag it onto an image placeholder box it will either neatly fit into the image box or be cropped, however the box has been set-up.
2. You can use +Menu > Import > Choose… > browse to image > select > OK+ This will drop the image into the middle of your page view at its original size in its own image box.
3. You can make a collection of clipart in a named folder then drag that folder into the top pane of the Media Browser:
+Menu > View > Show Media Browser > Photos+
When you click on the folder in the Media Browser the contents will be displayed in the preview window underneath from where they can be dragged into the Pages layout or onto image boxes.
4. Pages has something called Shapes which you can add by going to the Shapes menu on the window Toolbar. These are native Pages drawings. They can be scaled, colored and contain text or images which are cropped by the shape.
Right at the bottom of the Shapes menu is a pen tool which lets you draw your own shapes, however it is one of the worst drawing tools I have encountered on the Mac.
Shapes can be imported from .svg files. .svg is an open vector or vector + bitmap file format readable directly in most *Web Browsers*. Unfortunately they are not directly supported in Pages, but they can be imported using svg2key into Keynote as shapes, from where they can be cut and pasted into Pages.
OmniGraffle has sets of clipart called Stencils, these can be cut and pasted into Keynote and possibly into Pages, but requires you to have a copy of OmniGraffle on your machine.
A great deal of commercial and free clipart is available on the Net, much of it substantially better than the crude, cheap looking Nova material which was mostly "sourced" from PC clipart nad has that sort of style and color palette.
ClipArt can be very good and can be very bad, make sure you select the appropriate style and format for your work. You can scour through the Nova collection for the few good examples and make your own selection converted to useful formats such as .pdf and keep them in labelled folders which you can then select from previews using large *Icon View* or CoverFlow in Finder.
You can also copy and paste clipart from AppleWorks.

Clip Art, Picture Frames, Borders, etc...

I was wondering if there is a place where you can get clip art, more picture frames and cool borders for Pages 08?
Thanx
Joe

I'm afraid you're looking completely in the wrong place. PS doesn't produce instant galleries, it is a full-blown professional image editing app. Hence there is no such thing as decorative borders, clip art and what have you. Of course al lof that can be added with PS in a million ways like patterns, shape brushes or by using text with dingbats, but it's not prefab stuff. And "easy" is very much a matter of perception and experience, but from what it sounds like, you wil lbe much happier with Photoshop Elements or similar products from otehr vendors...

Adding Clip art and text

I am fine tuning my Premeire Elements Video and adding music, text and some clip art. I am using Premiere 8. When I add clip art and text it goes in fine but when I do a preview playback the text and or the clip art fanishes before the end of the clip. I have put in "time stretch" for the clip, is there any way to also lengthen the clip art and the text? I have looked and read but am not finding the answer. Thanks

Meantime, have you checked out my free 8 part Basic Training series on Premiere Elements support site Muvipix.com?

Clip Art download

Hello ,
I have seemingly saved my Clip Art Symbols file as a blank page somehow.
Can I re-download these files from anywhere?

> I just sent another PM. The system seems to be choking on

Let's see ... my username is also a capital letter, followed by lowercase letters and then some digits ...
Might explain why I haven't had any PMs in years

Hello! Tried unsuccessfully to restore my MBP, running the Mac OSX Lion, to factory settings. I keep getting the "can't download additional components for the Mac OSX Lion" error when reinstalling the OSX Lion. Any tips on how to resolve this problem?

Hi
Given that your answer to 1. is 'pre-installed' and 3. is 'No', I think the only thing to do is to take it to an Apple store (ideally the one you bought it from) and have them reinstall it for you.
The intended solution in cases like yours is that you should be able to reboot and install even a wiped disk by using Apple's servers over the internet (you do this by restarting with 'command-r' and choosing 'reinstall Lion'). However if this isn't working for you then you need to get the store to do it. Don't let them fob you off with 'go home and try again'. Have them do it in the shop (you're still covered by Applecare warranty so it should cost you nothing save the inconvenience of the trip and possibly leaving the machine there while they fix it).
A reinstall should leave all your own personal data and programs in place.
Note for future: when you get it fixed, first thing to do is buy a cheap external drive and start keeping a backup (either Time Machine or clone with Carbon Copy Cloner).

Hey i have a old powerbook G4 laptop and i was wondering where can i download the OS ( Mac OSX 10.5.8 Build ( 9L30 ) to do a fresh install my system is running really slow is there any place where i can down load this OS?

Hello,
Unfortunately Apple do not offer a download for mac OS X 10.5.8. They will only provide updates available for download. ( Normally you would do so once the OS is installed)
To do a fresh install of this software your going to need to buy a retail copy of the disk.
There are some vendors who do still stock the media disk, but they can be expensive.
Best of luck.

Trying to download additional content for Logic Pro X. My download status is 26.6 GB of 26.6 GB, but Logic will not move any further, not matter what I do. Any suggestions?

Thanks rhoydotp,
The download was actually the successful part! I had no issues with it timing out or anything. My problem was the actual install, after the download was complete. The installer just stopped about a quarter of the way up on "Alternative Kits" and never made it to any of the other kits. I think I'll try installing them one at a time like you said, and see what happens. Hopefully it works!

Does Pages have any clip art?

I am trying out Pages after having used Word for last five years or so, but I am finding it very frustrating when it comes to clip art.
Does Pages come with any clip art? Is there any clip art out there especially for Pages?
Word has a lot of clip art and a very useful web page that works very smoothly with the Clip Art Gallery; Does Pages have anything similar?
Any help would be appreciated.
Muz

Muz- I understand your approach. If you have access to both Word and Pages, maybe you could use the occasional Word clipart as an image inside Pages. I find Pages far simpler than Word when it comes to interating images into a body of text.
Hybrid solutions are no good, though. From within Pages, you can click "Pages, Provide pages Feedback" and request clipart in a future version. Good luck.

Old Corel Clip Art

Blast from the past! Years ago I bought CorelDRAW 6 for the Mac (yes, the Mac). Of course, the software is hopelessly obsolete, but it came with a great clip art package. Some of the images are much better than what you'd expect. But they're in some weird format -- can't even see a file extension -- and the only program that I've ever been able to open them in is Illustrator 8. Even AI 9 wouldn't do it.
My old Mac with Classic still on it conked out. Does anyone have any idea how I could get these files to open in OS X?
Thanks.

Opened Inkscape on my Mac using their mickey mouse emulator X11.
When I tried to import the CMX I got this error notice:
Inkscape has received additional data from the script executed. The script did not return an error, but this may indicate the results will not be as expected.
You need to install the UniConvertor software.
For GNU/Linux: install the package python-uniconvertor.
For Windows: download it from http://sk1project.org/modules.php?name=Products&product=uniconvertor and install into your Inkscape's Python location.
Don't know what to do with that.

Any place to download additional shapes, clip art, etc?
