Database for Mac
I Use FileMaker Pro, but I feel Apple could do better (ease of use) and do it more elegantly. MS Access was the only Microsoft program I missed when I switched to Mac years ago. Do others out there feel similarly?
Plus a version for iOS.
Posted here for want of a better location.
There's Filemaker. There's also Oracle, Sybase, MySQL...

Access Database for Mac-Replacement
What is the application for mac that is the most similar to Microsoft Access? I used to use it in my PC days, and it was so much easier to use than free mac solutions I've tried such as NeoOffice Database. I was hoping to find an app in the <100 range, so FileMaker was not an option for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
FileMaker is so superior in every way to Access that Microsoft gave up updating Access for use with their Office suite for the Mac, but instead ensured that FileMaker works seemlessly with both Word and Excel. (being cross-platform, FileMaker also quickly became the database of choice on PCs.)
But you don't absolutely need the latest (and therefore most expensive) version of Filemaker. Any version from FM6 upwards will work with Office, as well as on OSX. Older versions are readily available on eBay for a song. -
Quelqu'un a oracle database 10g for mac ??
comme vous savez oracle a fait une version oracle database for mac 10g mais elle n'est plus comersialisé .
I am using Virtual PC 7 running Windows 2000, but the emulator runs painfully slow. Things would run a lot smoothly if I had the PowerPC version of Oracle Database. I heard it exist.

Hi there,
Does anyone know if there is a decent MS Access equivalent for Mac ... and please do not say FileMaker as it has a different interface and table management logic that I do not really understand (Is it good enough to make it worth trying to learn?)
If there is something that works like access (queries, multiple tables, relationships etc.) I would be very happy to take a look at it.
CheersHi,
start from here:
http://guide.apple.com/
and search Software>Productivity and Utilities>Database and similar items
But remember: Filemaker IS the database for Mac and it is FAR better than Access. -
Office 2011 for Mac - Error rebuilding database following full restore from Time machine
This is my first time on here, so will try to be brief and specific.
I have been using Outlook without issues. I had a logic board failure and had to replace my logic board on my Macbook pro.
After repair, I then restored the entire computer from my Time machine backup
Everything worked perfectly until I tried to use Outlook, when I was given an error message saying "Your Office database index is missing and needs to be rebuilt. This is usually caused by restoring an identity with Time Machine." It then offers
me a chance to rebuild using the Database Utility.
I went ahead and tried to rebuild, but after running through the 5 steps, the task failed and I was given another error msg: :Your database could not be rebuilt [-18000]
I did some research online and found an article which suggested I go back in time on my Time machine and find an old version of my 'Main Identity' folder from when Outlook was working. Then to copy that folder,
rename it 'Restored Main Identity' and paste it into the 'Office 2011 Identities' folder on my HD.
I have done that, so it now appears with the other identities in the Microsoft Database Utility, and then tried to rebuild again, but still no luck.
Any ideas on how I can get around this issue…. don't really understand how Outlook is the only thing that I can't get working after restoring my old data.
Tried to get some help from Microsoft, but they pointed me to this forum or wanted to charge me for advice…
Any help would be much appreciated,

Trying to install MS Office 2011 for Mac SP 2 (14.2.0) on my Macbook Air (Lion 10.7.3). I have to close Microsoft Database Daemon and SyncServicesAgent but can not see how to do so. I have closed all applications. Can anyone help? Many thanks
Thanks Kurt! I had tried all that and had tried closing both programmes from the application monitor, but SyncServices Agent refused to close. I tried closing Launchd which is their mother application, but that just caused the screen go go blank. In the end the two programmes let themselves be closed next time I tried the installation process so all was well. Thanks for your help!

Import Outlook 2011 for MAC database from a security copy
After many years using Outlook for Windows, I bought a MAC Book Pro and Outlook 2011 for MAC. I use it for mail, contacts, notes and calendar and yesterday I had a problem. Since then, when I click the Outlook icon what appear is the system completely void. Contacts, notes, schedules, mail folders, everything have disappeared. I have a security copy done on an external hard disk, where I find everything, but I don't know what must I do to recover the Outlook database. I would be very grateful for some help taking into account that I have minimal experience on iOS software.
ThanksHi Ryan,
I suggest double check the permission configuration.
And also check whether the reply button enabled.

Import entourage database into Outlook 2011 for mac
I set up a new macbook from a time machine backup. The main identity for entourage was from the original date of install. Unfortunately, I didn't notice that when I did my initial import so it brought in about two e-mails from 2 years ago but not the entire database. I did a new TM backup of the entire database and chose import in Outlook and it appeared to be going but when it indicated it was finished-- nothing new showed up. What did I do wrong?
Hi,
We can import .iaf files in Outlook 2010 using the following method:
Start Outlook 2010.
On the File menu, click Import and Export.
Click the Advanced tab, and then click Export.
Click Import Internet Mail Account Settings, and then click
Next.
Follow the Internet Connection Wizard to complete the import process.
But, I don't know if we can do this in Outlook for Mac 2011. Since this forum is for general questions and feedback related to Outlook for Windows, it's better to post Mac related issue to the forum for Mac:

What software can I use on my new Mac that no longer supports "AppleWorks"? To easily transfer my database for mailmerge.
Two thoughts:
(1) It is possible that your Adobe software was the result of belonging to a now-discontinued Adobe Print Service Provider program where for a certain annual membership fee, print service providers were provided with (a) both a Windows and Macintosh license to the Adobe print-oriented software products (such as InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, and Acrobat) and (b) special direct product support as well as the ability to put your name on Adobe's website as a member of this program. The program ended over a year ago if I remember correctly.
(2) You may wish to contact Adobe Customer Support (not Technical Support) and see if they can track down any and all licenses associated with your company. If you have the names of the former employees who worked with this software, it would be helpful. Likewise, if you were a member of the discontinued Adobe Print Service Provider program, you may have some options for upgrading/updating the software you have.
Unfortunately, you cannot get any more definitive information about your situation on these forums.
Good luck.
