Can I read and write a Word/excel document on an iMac ?

Will an iMac replace my existing non apple computer?

Yes.
You have a number of options -
A new Mac comes with iWork for free - this includes Pages (Word Processor), Numbers (Spreadsheet) and Keynote (Presentation software) which will import and export Word and Excel files.  You MAY have some issues with formatting and recent version of iWork is rather cut-down.
If you want maximum compatibility with Word and Excel, there are Mac versions to buy as downloads from Microsoft.
Finally, there are a couple of rather good free Office suites - Open Office and Libre Office are both well thought of and will handle Word and Excel files - you cansearch for these via Google.
Hope this helps.

  • How can I read and write text in rings that are inside an array?

    Hello All!!!
    How can I read and write text in rings that are inside an array?
    Regards and thanks in advance.

    Use a Property Node linked to the Ring inside the array.
    Of course, all elements in the array will have the same text values.

  • How to read and write data from Excel to TestStand without using LabVIEW VIs

    Hi,
    How can I read in columns of data from Excel into a TestStand array and write columns of data to Excel from TestStand without using LabVIEW VIs?
    I don't think the Property Loader custom step type in TestStand will work because the data I would like to read in from Excel is in a column that is thousands of rows long and the data has to be in the proper format to use the Property Loader to load in an array from Excel.
    Thanks for your help.

    That example does not use LabVIEW and it does about 40% of what you need to do by calling Excel through ActiveX. If you don't know how to use Excel through ActiveX then you'll need to brush up on that.

  • Some files I can't read and write to my socket!?

    I have the following code that writes files to my socket:
    OutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
    File f = new File(SOME_PATH);
    InputStream fin = new FileInputStream(f);
    int n;
    while((n = fin.read()) > 0) {
      out.write(n);
    out.flush();
    fin.close();And the following reads this file from the socket, and writes it to another file on the server:
    InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
    File f = new File(SOME_PATH);
    OutputStream vos = new FileOutputStream(f);
    int n;
    for(int i=0;i<fileSize;i++) {
      n = in.read();
      vos.write(n);
    vos.close();
    vos = null;"fileSize" is always the size of the file, I'm pretty sure here.
    I can transfer both binary and text files, but not all text files. Why is that? How do I fix it?

    Another way is to have an object that represents the file...and then it can contain the filename and other stuff...
    public class MyFile
       private String filename = "";
       private byte[] filecontents = null;
    }If you then use an ObjectOutput/InputStream then you can read the file in wholesale...
    However if you are having "other" commands that you read from the stream then it wouldn't solve that problem!
    Another way is to use the ISDN method, more complex but effective, that is to have a control channel and a data channel...i.e. one stream for sending commands, another for sending data in response to commands...one issue there though is that of synchronization...
    Another potential method is to use XML to provide a "data envelope" that encapsulates the file...
    i.e.
    <file filename="[name]">
    <![CDATA[
       <!-- File contents go here, could be binary/plain text -->
    ]]>
    </file>Of course using XML in this way has it's own problems...
    Overall if you already have a working system in place then I'd stick with that, but those are some ideas!!!

  • What Languages Can Tiger Read and Write?

    The tech specs for Tiger provide info on the languages for which Tiger is localized (i.e. to which its menus and dialogues can be switched), but nothing on the much longer list of languages for which fonts and keyboards are provided to enable reading and writing. These are:
    Arabic, Azeri, Armenian, Bulgarian, Byelorussian, Cherokee, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dari, Devanagari, Dutch, English, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish, French, German, Greek (regular and polytonic), Gujarati, Gurmurkhi (Punjabi), Hawaiian, Hebrew, Hungarian, Icelandic, Inuktitut, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Latvian, Lithuanian, Macedonian, Maori, Nepali, Northern Sami, Norwegian, Pashto, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Tamil, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian, Uzbek, Vietnamese, and Welsh
    Additional languages can also be supported by downloading other fonts and keyboard layouts.

    You can read photos and videos on some flash drives (if they don't require too much power) and copy them to the Photos app, you can't copy other content or copy anything off the iPad.
    If your iPad has the new lightning connector then it's an iPad 4.

  • How can I read and write encrypted Mails with my iPhone?

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello;
    The only way for you to have your DAQ file is by using MAX and save the configuration to a file. In case you have the configuration beforehand, you don't even need to load MAX, you can pre-save the configuration file and copy it to the Window Registry location where the current file pointer is stored.

  • How come a USB will work with both Mac and Windows (as in that there are already files from Windows and Mac can still read and write onto it) but a external Hard Drive won't (as in there are files from Windows on there but Mac can read but not write)?

    I have a Seagate Drive that I'm hoping to copy some movies from my Mac onto (because it only has a 512 SSD and I'd rather keep that empty and handy for more readily needed files) but it won't work. It shows up as a drive when connected (with the orange USB drive icon popping up) and is appropirately labeled "FreeAgent Drive", but when I try to copy files onto it it won't work. There are already windows files on there, such as some windows backups and lot's and lot's of pictures and videos. However, I have several USBs which already have windows files on them (namely movies, music, and other stuff) and copying and stuff works fine. Why won't it work with this hard drive and would work with USBs? Please help me out here guys, I am not experienced with Hard disks and formatting and stuff like that. 10 points for whoever helps me out the most. Thanks.

    We will need to reformat your EXT, but it will then work on both Mac and Win
    Connect the drive to your Mac, open disk utility
    Go to the partiton tab and select '1' ... format should be ExFAT ... in options select MBR
    Format the drive
    It should now work on both OSs; report back

  • How can I read and work with the e-mail on one IMAC (running 10.7.3) from my MacPro Power PC5 (running 10.5.8)

    I would like to be able to work the e-mails on my IMAC (Lion 10.7.3) from my Mac Pro Power PC5 (running Leopard 10.5.8).  I want to be able to see all the folders and have actions show up on the other computer.  In other words, if I delete the e-mail I want it to disappear in real time from the other computer.  The same would be for moving messages in and out of different folders.  Can this be done without setting a server?  If not, then what server version could I install on the MacPro that would let me do this?

    That is the way IMAP should work.
    Like gMail or iCloud, both of which can be setup on both Macs...
    Do not delete the old account yet. sign up for an iCloud account if you haven't.
    I understand .mac mail will still come through. Do not delete the old account yet.
    You cannot use .mac or MobileMe as type of Account, you have to choose IMAP when setting up, otherwise Mail is hard coded to change imap.mail.me.com to mail.me.com & smtp.mail.me.com to smtp.me.com, no matter what you try to enter.
    iCloud Mail setup, do not choose .mac or MobileMe as type, but choose IMAP...
    On second step where it asks "Description", it has to be a unique name, but you can still use your email address.
    IMAP (Incoming Mail Server) information:
    • Server name: imap.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 993
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password
    SMTP (outgoing mail server) information:
    • Server name: smtp.mail.me.com
    • SSL Required: Yes
    • Port: 587
    • SMTP Authentication Required: Yes
    • Username: [email protected] (use your @me.com address from your iCloud account)
    • Password: Your iCloud password

  • Can I change Read and Write Permissions?

    I'm trying to get as much of my old Windows stuff onto my iMac.
    It's all stored on a Seagate 300GB External HD that is partitioned 150GB Mac and 150GB Windows NTFS. I can see and copy Folders and Files from the Windows Partition, but cannot delete once copied, this is very inconvenient as it means I have to keep unplugging the hard drive from the iMac and plugging it into my MacBook Pro (with Windoze installed) to remove the Files/Folders I have copied onto the iMac. Does anyone know how I can change the read write permissions on the Windows Partition so that I can copy then delete off it without constantly swapping computers. Thanks

    Unfortunately, this isn't a permission problem. The thing is, OS X can read NTFS partitions, but not write to them. The only filesystem that both OS X and Windows can both read and write (without third party drivers/apps anyway) is FAT32.

  • When I try and open Microsoft Word 2011 documents they start opening one after another at a rapid speed and I can't stop it. I reboot and same thing happens?

    When I try and open Microsoft Word 2011 documents on my  IMAC they start opening one after another at a rapid speed and I can't stop it. I reboot and same thing happens. The documents open in rapid succession on their own and don't stop until I force close or after maybe 100 or more open I start getting the following message for each document attemting to open "This document could not be registered. It will not be possible to create links from other documents to this document" and then in paretheses the name of the document. After I click okay another trys to open. Any suggestions?

    If you had multiple documents open and quit the app without closing all of the docs first, it will open them again when you launch the app. Open Word, and then close all the documents, you may be asked to save the document, if the document was already saved but you made changes to it before you quit the app, you may need to save the changes first, shorcut ( command and s keys). After you close all of the documents then quit the app and restart the computer. See if this works.

    I I have a 1 TG external drive that is formatted to Windows NTFS and is read only, how do i get it to read and write on my Mac OS X 10.6.3?

    Install software such as Paragon NTFS, or reformat it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or FAT32. Mac OS X 10.6.5 and newer can also read and write exFAT partitions.

  • Read and write data from content repository .

    We are using content repository to store some document and images on web center server .
    So we have created/setup a content repository on web center .
    Please proivde me some documnet /wiki page to get some idea how can i read and write date in
    content repository .
    You are most welocme to provide some idea /suggestion .
    Thanks,
    Arun.

    Have you already configured webcenter spaces so it can use content server?
    Have you installed the content server seperatly from webcenter or as a part of the webcenter installation?
    Check if you have the webcenter spaces component installed in content server because without i don't think it will work...
    If you already have configured UCM to work with spaces it's quiet easy.
    From your groupspace, open the settings page of your groupspace. Go to the services tab. In the left hand side you can enable the documents services. WHen you have done that, you are able to add the document services taskflows to your pages. Just go to a page in your pagegroup and edit it. Open the resource catalog and you will find some extra taskflows you can add.
    If you haven't configured UCM and webcenter to work together, here some steps that will help you:
    * Integrating UCM with Spaces
         * They both need to use the same LDAP store.
         * Since there is no LDAP server available, we choose for embedded WLS LDAP.
         * Integrating the ucm into apache
              * Stop UCM
              * In /oracle/product/wls10320/WebCenter/ucm/config/config.cfg, check the SocketHostAddressSecurityFilter to contain 127.0.0.1
              * Add the SocketHostAddressSecurityFilter to /oracle/product/wls10320/WebCenter/ucm/admin/bin/intradoc.cfg
              * Add to /oracle/product/wls10320/WebTier/instances/instance1/config/OHS/ohs1/httpd.conf
                   include /oracle/product/wls10320/WebCenter/ucm/data/users/apache22/apache.conf
              * Change the mod_wl_ohs.conf file to
                   <IfModule weblogic_module>
                         WebLogicHost localhost
                         WebLogicPort 7001
                         Debug ON
                         WLLogFile /tmp/weblogic.log
                   </IfModule>
                   <Location /webcenter>
