Can I create a directory database in Numbers, like I have done in Access?

I have a database in Access that I converted to numbers for the data, but I want to create a directory with merge fields so that its easier to read and pretty to look at. Can this be done in Numbers or Pages? or is there another program comparable to Microsoft Access that I need to get. Is there freeware that would do the trick? thanks.

thanks for offering your help. I have about 120 contacts in one database with about 20 fields for each contact: name, phn, birthday, anniv, email, address, hobbies, heritage, etc. I guess about 5 or 6 contacts would fit on a page.
I also have another database that is quite smaller. only about 68 contacts, with just 9 or 10 fields per contact. Last Name, First Name, Unit, Home Phone, Cell Phone, EMail Address, Alt Email, Alt Cell Phone, Additional. I would like the option to add fields as this document grows.
I searched online for some database management software but it seems that you need to know programing. I inherited the access database listed first so I only had to tweek things, copy and paste fields, I did not have to create it from scratch. Am I looking for the wrong type of program? Is there a program out there that makes simple directories? Or is there an easy way to create a merge document (In Pages or Numbers) to have multiple contacts on one page. Like a label? I am able to create a merge form letter, but can not figure out how to get multiple contacts on a page. I am not planning to give up on my Mac. I am committed to is as I have spent a few thousand dollars to get this, But I just need to know how to get started.
Thanks again for your help. Toni

How can I create a new TC backup with ethernet, so I don't have to wait two days for a new wireless backup?

How can I create a new TC backup with ethernet, so I don't have to wait two days for a new wireless backup?
Several times in the last year, I've gotten a message that Time Machine needs to completely redo my backup. Using the wireless connection, this takes almost two days. Is there a way to do the backup with ethernet and then switch back to wireless? Thanks.

May I know what is needed to make sure the MacBook is able to see Time Capsule on ethernet?
Connect an Ethernet cable from one of the LAN <-> ports on the 2Wire gateway to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the Time Capsule.
If AirPort Utility cannot "see" the Time Capsule now, you will need to perform a "hard reset" by holding in the reset button for 7-8 seconds or so and then reconfigure the Time Capsule. You can use the same Time Capsule name and password, etc. as before.
Configure the Time Capsule to "Create a wireless network" and select the Bridge Mode option when it appears during the setup using AirPort Utility.
Once the Time Capsule is configured, restart the entire network again. Power down everything, start the 2Wire first and then start each other device after that one at a time about a minute apart.
Now you can connect your Mac directly to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule for the backup using another Ethernet cable. In general, about 20-25 GB per hour will transfer.
The Time Capsule will broadcast a much faster wireless network than the 2Wire can provide, so you might want to leave the setup "as is" for awhile after the first backup is complete. If you decide to use the Time Capsule as your main wireless access point, you would want to turn the wireless off on the 2Wire since two wireless networks in close proximity can create interference problems.
Or, if you want to use the wireless on the 2Wire, you could turn off the wireless on the Time Capsule. Then backups will occur over the 2Wire wireless, or over Ethernet.
I don't really recommend the "Join a wireless network" setting on the Time Capsule for most users, but you could go back to that setup as well if you want after the first backup is complete.

How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

If you want Muse to "pass through" your images and not adjust, compress, crop etc - you need to place your images in the lightbox EXACTLY at the right size, pre-cropped and prepped in Photoshop.
So if your light box is 800x600 the image you're dropping into that must be 800x600 exactly with no effects, rotation etc added to the lightbox frame. This stop Muse fiddling with your images, if they are perfect when inserted and you're not asking Muse to crop, expand, add effects etc. If it's perfect when inserted, Muse SHOULD also leave the resolution alone too, but I have not tried that one, but in theory, it should work.

I have just downloaded ML. I can get my email via iCloud, but I can't get it on MAIL 6.0. I have done the JAVA thing--seems to be OK. MAIL 6.0 on my desktop won't sync with Mobile Me and won't download emails. Any suggestions?

How can I create a new database?

Hi,
can anyone tell me the steps I have to do if I want to create a new database? Can I perform this operation from the console of the Enterprise Manager or from the DBA studio?
Thank you.

You can use DBAssist to create Database of your own desire. No need to go anywhere if u r working on 8i.
If this sounds good to u then steps can be followed.

How can I create a directory on my server using FTP in applescript?

Hi
I have created a script which successfully uploads files to my server using FTP and a curl command.
The one thing I haven't worked out how to do is how to create a directory on my server using applescript. At the moment I have to manually create the correct directory for the script to work, but would like to be able to automate everything.
Would this be possible?
Thanks
Nick

Thanks Bernard.
I have tried that and still get the error message:
"curl: Can't open '--ftp-create-dirs'!
curl: try 'curl --help' or 'curl --manual' for more information
% Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current
Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- 0:00:01 --:--:-- 0
curl: (9) Server denied you to change to the given directory"
The other relevant parts of the script are:
set ftp_url to "ftp.****.org.uk/artists/" & artistName2 & "/assets/"
set ftp_username to "*****@*****.org.uk"
set ftp_password to "****"
set ftp_entire to ftp_username & ":" & ftp_password & " ftp://" & ftp_url
set outPath to outputFolder & fileCounter & ".jpg"
and then...
do shell script ("curl -T --ftp-create-dirs " & outPath & " -u " & ftp_entire)
Like I said, all works fine when the directories are already in place. I have permissions for the artists folder set to "777", i.e. writable. Because the script is trying to create two directories at once, i.e. "artistName2" and then "assets" under it, I wondered if this was significant, but then I tried with just one new directory, and still got the error.

Can i create a standby database in oracle 10g standared edition ?

what are the steps required for creating a standby database using oracle 10g standard edition. or Any other feature for mirroring database in oracle 10g standared edition

Dear mithun,
Please read the following online documentation;
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/standby.htm
+"+
+2.3.2 Oracle Software Requirements+
+The following list describes Oracle software requirements for using Data Guard:+
+* Oracle Data Guard is available only as a feature of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition. It is not available with Oracle Database Standard Edition. This means the same release of Oracle Database Enterprise Edition must be installed on the primary database and all standby databases in a Data Guard configuration.+
+Note:+
+It is possible to simulate a standby database environment with databases running Oracle Database Standard Edition. You can do this by manually transferring archived redo log files using an operating system copy utility or using custom scripts that periodically send archived redo log files from one database to the other. The consequence is that this configuration does not provide the ease-of-use, manageability, performance, and disaster-recovery capabilities available with Data Guard.+

Hope That Helps.

Can we create a local database in SQl developer 3.1

Hi i am trying to create a local database that i can run in my machine. Which username and password should i use.Do i need it , where to get it.
Thanks

Hi, SQL Developer is a GUI client to an Oracle database - it does not come bundled with one. You did not mention what your platform is, but Oracle XE is relatively lightweight and available for windows (32bits) and linux (64bits). The database server does not have to reside on the same system where you run sqldev.

After install, database is not available. How can I create a new database?

Can I create one?

Yes. This is correct. There is no control file. In fact, there is nothing in C:\OracleXE\oradata\XE. It appears that the install did not create a database, so I figured I'd try to create one myself
but did not haev any success. Should the install have created a database? I did install the same product on a laptop and it seemed to work fine. The problem I ran into was that it does not have
enough memory to be useful, only 512 Meg. So I decided to install it on my desktop PC with 3 Gig. This is where I am having the problem. I tried a re-install but still no database was created.

Can documents created/modified in Pages and Numbers be transferred to Dropbox without having to email them?

How can transfer documents created/modified in Pages and Numbers to Dropbox other than emailing them?

If you are working within your own network, there are apps that allow this. One that seems to work well for me is called Fingerprint - it allows you to access non-AirPrint printers on your network, save to Dropbox, open a document directly on your Mac and save to iPhoto or Evernote:

Admin Tool can not create any new database or model [nqserror 46131]

Hi everyone!
I can not create anything new in each layer on the admin tool. It marks unknown error.
When I try to import metadata it send the message: [nqserror 46131] unresolved hostname, everything in online mode. I can modify everything offline, then replace the rpd and I can create reports in Answers. But I need to do all of these online mode.
Everything else works well (Answers, Dashboards, Publisher). The server name is correctly put in the instanceconfig.xml.

Can't create a directory local in solaris

In solaris 10 intel version, i tried to create folder name "local" under "usr" as I want to install mysql under "usr\local".
But when i created, the error message is showing like this:
:/usr>mkdir local
mkdir: Failed to make directory "local"; Read-only file system
any idea?
How to fix and please help me.
Thanks.

As Robert said, the /usr file system is mounted as a loopback in the non-global zone, so any subdirectories to /usr will be mounted via loopback in the zone, and thus read-only. Check man zonecfg, Sun also has a long document online concerning containers and zones. Just google "zfs administration guide" and "zfs containers". Your other option is create the zone as a whole root zone, rather than a sparse root zone, which is what you have now.

Can't create Open Directory domain

Using Server 3 I can't get Open Directory to work. I keep getting an error
"xxx was successfully configured as a directory server, but an error occurred."
Any ideas as to what's going on? I checked my DNS settings and they seem fine.

Hello, To whom may be concerned about this problem.
I had the same problem with my mac mini, So what I did to fix it , I delete the Server App with AppCleaner(google it) and then I turn off my computer and re-install the Operating System to my excisting OS ( this why I repair whatever was broken within the file system. You would NOT loose any Data becuase you are just re-installing) and then I download the app again , and it works.
Also you may contact Apple Server Support in the Application there is a link !
Hope this will help somebody.
