Apple Works Data Base Replacement

Recently got a MacBook Pro going from 10.6.8 to 10.8.3. I had used the data base program in Apple Works for MANY things. I was told I would need to buy iWorks, but I can't see that it has a data base program. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Running Appleworks in Snow Leopard Server installed into Parallels 8 for use in Lion or Mt. Lion:

Apple is now selling Snow Leopard Server for $19.99 + sales tax & shipping costs at 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A (telephone orders only).

Since Apple's data base has been accessed by burglars, why can't Apple track serial numbers?

If Apple's data base is accessed by people like this, why can't the same data base be used to track ownership? MOst Apple users sign on to itunes and share their system information. Would it not make sense to share the serial numbers with a reporting system?
If I call into the local Apple store, will I receive any support in locating my systems or will they want to sell me an app to track them?
The data is available for Apple to promote an independent recovery sytem...why don't they? Is there no money in it?
<Edited By Host>

why can't the local Apple store access the national data base and find out where it was being serviced.
They can do that now, if the system is at an authorized service center. It's highly unlikely that a stolen system would just happen to have been checked into a service center at the time you happen to look, though. I also doubt that Apple would provide that information to you just on your request.
As to the report you are referencing, is it coinicidence homes with multiple Apple systems were targeted? In my neighborhood, only homes with more than two Imacs were hit...and only Apple systems were taken.
Such information would not be available to any burglar, nor has there been even a rumor that Apple's internal customer databases have every been compromised. So yes, it was either coincidence or the burglars casing the premises, not at all hard to do. It's even often possible by doing a scan of someone's WiFi network; few people have theirs adequately secured.
Apple is not law enforcement. It's not their job to try and track stolen property; that's the job for the police. There's nothing further to be said.

Data base program with Leopard?

On my old G5 I used Apple Works data base program. I still have it on my new machine but wonder if there is a new data base program like Pages is the new WP program.
Thanks!

No, iWorks does not come with a database application - word processing, presentation, and spreadsheet.
If you need a high-powered database program there's a pretty good one in Open Office 3.0rc3 or NeoOffice Aqua. For a basic database program try iData. For one sort of in between try Bento - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Hi I'm running Addressbook and cannot clear previous entry easily when searching my data base of around 5,000 contacts.
I prefer to view in All contacts on a double page spread with details on the right page. Searching doesn't seem to work correctly in this view.
It's always the second search that is problematic.
I've tried typing over and all it seems to do is confine the search to the the entries that have come up for the previous search.
I've tried to use the x to clear the previous entry and then type the next search, same problem. The only way seems to be to move from "All Contacts" to "Groups". Then the searched name appears and I can return to All Contacts to see full details.
Surely three key press' are not the way it's supposed to work?

My apple TV ID is not recognised in Apples Data Base

I recently changed my Itunes account ID to a generic Gmail account in case I changed my internet provider in the future, after a few days I changed my apple TV ID to match it. Now it says "does not recognise this ID in its Data base". I have checked back and my apple ID is still the new one and apple have responded to that ID via Itunes downloads. The internet is working so is this a gmail address problem or an apple tv problem.
Thank you for any Help given.

Can you change the Apple ID Password & then try again?

What program to replace a Data Base program like old AppleWorks?

Not sure if this is the correct discussion board, but I would like to find out what applications people are using to replace the AppleWorks Data Base program. In the past I have worked with File Maker Pro and the AppleWorks program. I see nothing like that in either iBook or Numbers.
Thanks,
Dave

Like Dennis, I continue to use AppleWorks for what iWork doesn't do. I think that sooner or later a system upgrade may render AppleWorks useless or, at least, too unstable. I plan on keeping at least one Mac in the house running an OS AppleWorks works in.
In the meantime, I have left a few feedback posts to both the Numbers team or the Pages team.

I got my Macbook Pro 17inch (early 2011) back from Apple (they had to replace the logic board) and now my microphone is not working

I got my Macbook Pro 17inch (early 2011) back from Apple (they had to replace the logic board) 3 days ago, I had a terrible experience as the genious who gave me my solid state disk for safekeeping lost my disk's brackets thus I had to wait 2 more hours until they find one after 10 days of waiting for the repair. I noticed some weird sounds, like somehting is moving with the mac 1-2 times, even if I have no mechanical parts other than the fans, but my real issue at the moment is that my microphone is not working. I can see the mic in the System Info however and in Audio Midi Setup. In the Audio Midi Setup I see that the master chanel is turned off and I can't turn in on. Ch 1 and 2 are on full. I also noticed the first seconds after the comp. boots the blue bar goes to the middle in the System Preferences -> Sound -> Input. Any ideas what to do or try? I do not want to go back to the apple store as it is 50 minutes away from here and I need my laptop as a computer science student. Everything else is working perfectly.

You need to call both the store that did the repair and Apple directly, warranty service or Apple care, and report this problem with both of them and get a ticket number of some kind (some kind of verification number) that the unit just came back from major service with this problem and that you want it fixed when you can lose the use of it, which is not right now.
Without doing something like that they could easily say it is damage not covered under the normal warranty.
God knows what the repair center did and did not do to it while it was there.
And depending on when you actually bought it the warranty could run out in the mean time.

How does the Apple Headphones with Remote Replacement Program non-return fee work?

I have a pair of Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic that I purchased a year ago. According to the "Apple Headphones with Remote Replacement Program", http://www.apple.com/support/headphones/replacementprogram/, these headphones are also covered in the program. Currently, there are some issues with my headphone's remote, as it is extremely unresponsive. I don't know how Apple determines the headphone's purchase date, but their online service request page accepts my iPhone's serial number. Is there any way that i could ensure that Apple's willing to replace the headphones for free (E.g. mailing my current ones in first) because the non-return fee is basically its retail price. I do not live in the US so I can't go and exchange at an Apple Retail Store. Thanks in advance.

I would just bring them into your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and ask.

Hi Austin XQ,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Based on the information you have provided, it sounds like your iPhone needs to be serviced. The following link should help you get started with the process and has links with additional information on topics such as warranty and service pricing, battery replacement, and express replacement service.

Imac hard drive died and was replaced by apple. Data lost but is remains on ipads. Computer address is different so can't sync without erasing ipad data (which I need back on repaired imac). How do I do this?

How do I transfer data from and Ipad/iphone to an imac with a different address then initally setup with? Our hard drive died and was replaced free of charge by Apple, our data was lost on the hard drive but exists on our small devices.

Since Apple replaced the hard drive does that mean you have AppleCare? If so, call them. If not, you must have paid pretty good to get it replaced and so I would think you have some possible right to ask a followup question at the store that did it.

My speaker isnt working right on my iphone 4s i have apple care will they replace my phone at the apple store?

i have the iphone 4s, apple care (carrier sprint) my speaker suddenly stopped working can hear sound but sounds very distorted. if i go to the apple store will they replace my phone and how much will it cost?

If the speaker failure is a manufacturing defect and not due to damage (dropping it, moisture exposure) there will be no charge. Make a Genius Bar appointment at your closest Apple Store.

My Bose SIE2i volume control does not work. (pause/play does work). This is the secone set - the apple store in Sydney replaced the firsat set that had the same problem. It was working OK and has stopped.

My Bose SIE2i volume control does not work. (pause/play does work). This is the second set - the apple store in Sydney replaced the first set that had the same problem. It was working OK and has stopped.

Thanks again V.K. I did check the layout, and it was listed as alphabet when I inputted the password. So that doesn't seems to the the issue.
Just finished a truly mystifying experiment, but I put in a shorter password in the way mentioned earlier and it worked. I then systematically kept increasing the characters of that password and it seems that if the password starts to exceed about 16, it stops recognizing it. I am fairly sure it is not the password itself since it never gives an error when typing in the verification password. So unless I systematically make the exact mistake twice at the setup screen, and then don't or make a different mistake every time at the login screen, I don't think its my typing skill.
So problem solved for now, but I am still a bit worried. Maybe I should completely reinstall and use a shorter password.
Is there supposed to be a length limit?

Char '¦' gets replaced with '|' in sp source when restoring a data base.

char '¦' gets replaced with '|' in sp source when restoring a data base. This makes the procedure put a character for separating a string different (|) from the espected one (¦). And this makes the application failed.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks,

I'll follow the thread in Data Base - General from now on.
In case u see this one first:
To ALL:
Thanks 355099, Joel, and Justin:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.4.0
Charset: ?? I'll will ask the data base guy. (we are preaty small). It is reported as a bug in my system, the thing is I usually do not program against this kind of bug. :)
Anyways, the usage is as follows, this guy uses an empty restore to install the database for application installation purposes.
instaed of running some scripts the test for the instalation is done as a restore.
import/export is the action being done here.
Again I use the ¦ char to separate a string array.
Something to consider is that the chars are:
124 | and 166 ¦
They are both ascii aren't they?
Why would the impor/export change the char ¦ for |?
if is a charset problem why isn't the changed char a ? or a # or a 9 or a non printable char, instead it changes for a |.

Logical data base and work process

I have some questions on the above topics.
if some have an answer, let me know .
1. How many logical data bases can we use in our
report program
2. How to design our own selection screen when
using
logical database
3. How mnay update workprocesses can u have.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Roberts.K

Welcome to the forum!
In response to question 1:
You can designate only 1 LDB on the Attribute screen of the program. You can however, also invoke a LDB program using Function Module LDB_PROCESS. There is some good documentation associated with it.
In response to question 2:
If you specify a LDB on your program attributes, the LDB will present a selection screen. Any parameters/select options that you specify in your program are added to the selection screen that the LDB presents. If you use the Function Module mentioned above, then you alone will control the selection screen and have to pass selection information to the function module.
In response to question 3:
I am not quite sure what you mean by this one, but if some of the other SDNers have answered your question, then no need to clarify for me.

Itunes 6 does not access the cddb gracenote data base any more

i have installed norton products, but changing the setting does not affect the status, i could not successfully update to itunes 6+ and the girl from apple said it has no major upgrade in it, but my grace note data base does not work any more, i get a yellow triangle and problem with http and stuff, so i changed to winamp for filing my music, though i believe, sound wise, itunes might be slightly better, but winamp is consumer friendly and whiskey bernstein in my case, the "momo" time thief gray of itunes is not a turn on, so does any one know what can happen to the cddb data access ? merci, henri

It's can be done this way but it doesn't mean it is supposed to be done this way.
There are no duplicate items.
If you want to listen to a song on your iPhone and also on your iPod, you have to have a copy in each library.
You just tick sync all songs in each library then tick/untick each song as necessary for each library.
I never uncheck anything.
I just add/delete from a playlist and sync.
How the **** do we now know which library we are in???
You know which **** library you are in because it is the one you **** well opened.
If you only use one library, there is no wondering which library you are using.
Any way, good luck!
