Need software to keep track of clients for small business.

We need some way to keep up with multiple types of payments for several hundred clients, as well as the ability to make notes as needed. We have been using ical for our notes and a simple Numbers spreadsheet, but this method is cumbersome. I have looked at various accounting programs, but they all seem much more complicated than I need. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated!

I ran a small business, and there is no way I would have done it with iCal and Numbers. Intuit's Quickbooks is the best program for small business. Yes, it's probably got more than you need, but it helps pay bills, taxes, inventory, blah blah blah. It's only $200. They have an online version. It links to your bank. It links to tax software. I can go on. I used the enterprise version, and I'm not an accounting, and I found it a piece of cake to learn.
Since this is the forum for the Macbook Pro, you're really not going to find much info here. Go to the Intuit Quickbooks website, and do a test run. Trust me, if you want to make a profit and pay bills on time, get a real program. Quickbooks is one of the cheapest but still the best out there.

Error when installing Lenovo solutions for small business [Screenie included]

Hello everyone.
Recently, I tried opening the pre-installed Lenovo solutions for Small Business software on my Lenovo e530 running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit version (Upgraded from Win 7 Home Prem 64-bit) but failed after getting a message for encountering a critical problem of some sort. I then tried restarting my computer and that did not solve the problem. And then, I decided to install an upgrade version of it from this website http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS030146. But before that I uninstalled the previous version by uninstalling Intel Small Business advantage customizations with Revo Uninstaller and I deleted all the related folders too with a thorough scan. Out of my expection, I got this message below saying that I could not proceed due to some unspecified error. Has anyone encountered the same problem before? Does anyone have a solution for this? I'm not sure if that's my computer's problem or from the driver itself. Thank you for your attention to this issue.

Hi, dougy
This should be configurable under msconfig. This is a program that you can use to tell your computer which programs you want to start when Windows starts. To get to this program, type msconfig into the search bar in the Start menu. A window should appear. Check under the Startup tab and make sure that the Lenovo Solutions for Small Business program does not have a checkmark next to it. This should prevent this program from starting up when your computer turns on.
Hope it helps,
Adam

Router for small business Internet connection

One of our clients recently switched ISPs to Speakeasy who installed a Hatteras HN 407 bridge. We have had Internet connectivity problems using their SonicWall 3060 firewall, and we experienced similar problems when attempting to use a newer Sonicwall TZ180. We temporarily installed a Linksys W54GT router, which has been working perfectly; however, we would like to have a more robust router for their 25 user network - additional security options, performance, VPN, two WAN connections, etc. Can you recommend a small business router with 2 WAN connections? This customer has a business ethernet 3Mbps (up and down) Internet connection, uses an online medical scheduling program, normally has 10 - 20 uses using the Internet connection and will be installing a backup DSL line that we would like to use for load balancing.

Our recommendation for Dual WAN would be RV082 This would be the prefect VPN router for small Business and if you are looking for more ports on the Ethernet, then we would recommend the RV016

Should I buy CC for small business or for an individual? I am a freelance graphic designer.

I am a graphic design but I work on my own. I just purchased CC for small business but now suddenly wonder if I should have purchased for an individual as I have no team.

Hi Aridne,
You can follow the discussion: Creative cloud team vs individual membership where the difference between both the plans are clearly mentioned.
You can choose the one which suits your needs the best.
Let us know if you still have any queries regarding the same.
Thanks,

Best backup program for iPhone 3GS??

I am looking for the BEST backup program for the above - not only a program which makes backups of the programs, but ALO the contents of the programs - of everything! Any recommendations, thanks!

I agree with the first reply UNLESS your iPhone is not being backed up by iTunes because it gets stuck. I actually just posted a question in re to this problem. For all you Apple owners I know, I should've bought an Apple. Well, I've owned three iMacs in the last 3 years and they are fabulous computers- u just didn't have 1300 laying around this time so I got a pretty powerful PC for 600.
Anyway, my point being iTunes works great as a backup app for the iPhone. I just think my issue is I'm using Windows 7 64-bit with iTunes 64-bit and there might be some glitch because as soon as I click the 'x' besides "Backing up iPhone..,." it syncs fine, I just don't have a backup. Unfortunately I didn't get the Apple protection plan for the iPhone, but I doubt it's the phone anyway. Thanks.

What's the best approach/program for finding and eliminating duplicate photos on my hard drive?

What's the best approach/program for finding and eliminating duplicate photos on my hard drive? I have a "somewhat" older version of iPhoto (5.0.4), and it doesn't seem to offer anything like that except during the importing phase of syncing my phone...

I wonder, is there room to transfer them to your phone, & then back to filter them?

What does "Personal Use Only" for small business owners mean?

For small businesses or Sole-Proprietors, computers they use for business are also the machines being used for personal use. If I understand the new Mac App Store license correctly, you cannot ethically purchase an app on the App Store that will be used for business use. If that is the case, the greatest oxymoron is that they have a "Business" section in the App Store.
I truly LOVE how easy the App Store makes managing one's apps, but if I have to now deal with seperating all purchases based on it's overall use, they have just complicated the small business scene for small business owners.
I fully understand them wanting to discourage a large business from purchasing, for example, Aperture, once and installing it on 100+ machines. But if that is what they're trying to avoid, why not be more specific in the terms of the updated App Store license info. Instead, they are shooting down any and all use of anything purchased in the App Store for business.
Any other small business owners facing the same situation?

Here is a clause from the Terms and Conditions, which can be found at http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#APPS
*Begin quote*
(ii) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download a Mac App Store Product for use either (a) by a single individual on each of the Mac Product(s) that you own or control, or (b) by multiple individuals on a single shared Mac Product that you own or control. For example, a single employee may use a Mac App Store Product on both the employee’s desktop Mac Product and laptop Mac Product, or multiple students may serially use the Product on a single Mac Product located at a resource center or library.
*End quote*
It seems that as long as you abide by these guidelines, you can use App Store apps for business.

How to create Add-On program for SAP Business One 2007

Hi,
When I create my Add-On into SBO I have some issues.
Which program do I use to create an Add-On into SBO?
Is there a URL or Path where I find the program?
I am using a 2003 program which is built by my colleague.
I assume SAP provide the Add-On program for SAP Business One 2007
Thank you,
Rune

Rune,
At a high level ...
1) VS2005
2) Compile your program
3) Generate and Add-on Identifier
4) Create a registration datafile
5) Create the setup program consisting of your .EXE and the .ARD file
6) Add-On is created and running in SBO
Again ... the details on deploying and packaging your add-on can be found in the SAP Business One SDK Help Center Documentation and the SDK eLearning.
Also, you can use B1DE using the Simple Installer or Professional Installer will do most of the work for you after you have coded the add-on.

Twist/S230u bug: cannot start Lenovo Solutions for Small Business after installing updates

An issue may happen after running ThinkVantage System Update and selecting all available updates. After rebooting, Lenovo Solutions for Small Business will fail to launch. This issue happens because of a failure during one of the updates.
To fix the issue, download and install the Intel MEI driver. Although this software is already installed on your system, it is in a broken state. Installing it again will fix it, and let Lenovo Solutions for Small Business run successfully.

What is the best office program for mac dealing with arabic language?

what is the best office program for mac dealing with arabic language?

The best word processor is Mellel. TextEdit, Nisus Writer, and Open/Libre/NeoOffice should also work OK.
MS Word for Mac does not do Arabic, but I am not sure about Excel and PowerPoint. If not, OpenOffice would be the only option.
iWork has bugs that probably make it unsuitable for RTL for most people.
