Database software other than Apple works

When I got my first Apple (a G5 which died after I installed Leopard) I worked through apple works to get aquainted with my Mac, but then used iWork + Adressbook as my database. By now I have over 2000 "people or organisations that hire musicians" (I'm a musician) in Adressbook, but for a new project need something else.
This is what I want to do: I need to expand the "people or..." database, but want to start a seperate database about audiences with many ways to differentiate, organise, search and find by different criteria (like education, income, etc.).
I am looking for something more sofisticated than Adressbook, but easier to use that apple works.

In trying to move from AppleWorks, I've moved all of my databases to Numbers. For me, it works. I don't have the same needs in a database as I used to have.
Database programs are just not very common it seems. FileMaker Pro looks similar to AppleWorks, mostly because they were both originally Claris programs. The similarity really ends at the look. FileMaker is too expensive & too complex for your average AppleWorks database user.
If I were to need a "real" database in the future, I'd get iList Data. It was recommended by someone in this forum awhile back.
Bento is marketed by FileMaker as an answer for the common user. I don't think so (as do a number of other "old-time AppleWorks users" here). Still, all of these programs have free trials & you can decide for yourself what works best for you.

Does ram bought from a company other than apple, work as well as the ram I would get from apple?

I have a mid 12' macbook pro and I want to upgrade it from 4 gigs to 8 gigs, and I have seen ram advertised on amazon for half the price that apple charges for it's ram. Is this other ram just as good, will I experience any problems? I really want to add ram, I added 4 gigs to my iMac and it has boosted it's performance quite well. Please help.

Depends on the brand.
apple doesnt make ram, they use brands such as samsung. You can find great ram from macsales.com

Iweb upload to host other than apple

Is this possible? Can I change the settings inside of iweb so that it will upload the site to a different host, other than apple. I'm a dreamweaver user and I have to help out a number of people and they all just got new macbooks. Since it has iweb already, it would be great to use it, but we didn't get the mac accounts. The office did open an independent site with a generic hosting service.
One person says that we can upload the site to the our purchased host through FTP. Sure, but everyone is COMPLETELY computer illiterate. So that isn't a solution. We need something they can just press and it will work. Can I configure iweb to do this. This is a Yes or NO question. I just need to know. I can do the legwork myself, but before I get started down that road, I need to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Otherwise it's dreamweaver.
Thank you. Whoever you are that has the answer.

Whatever happened to helping people to learn or teaching, or has this art suddenly disappeared? I am sure that most people were computer illiterate as you put it before we got our hands on one and were taught or helped to learn how to use it. I know I was. I remember about 16 years ago now, when I was at university, I needed a computer, so I purchased an Amstrad. It was a black and white monitor and had no hard drive, so all work needed to be saved on a floppy disc. This saw me through uni and I then decided to buy my first proper computer which was a Viglen PC. This had an internet connection and I learned how to use this by fiddling myself and reading books and with help from others.
It was not long after this that Apple bought out the first iMacs - the Tangerine iMacs that were 500 Mghz. I bought one of these for my parents as they wanted something simple to use without all the leads and connections that PC's had. I set it up for them and used it myself and was so impressed with it, that I went out and bought one for myself and have never looked back. It ran OS 8, which was quite unstable and kept crashing and freezing all the time. I learned how to use this myself.
Since then, I have graduated to the latest Macs and the latest software, but they are easy to use even for the computer illiterate. Even the computer illiterate can learn if they are taught.
I totally agree with what Roddy has said. How hard can it really be to publish to a folder - this can be done from within iWeb itself, by selecting the Publish to MMe or a folder option? If someone were to set up an ftp client such as Cyberduck for people to use and have all the info needed entered into it, then all they need do is click on upload and select first the site folder and then the index file. Is this really going to be so hard?
Do you really think that using Dreamweaver is going to be easier than using iWeb? If these people are not even able to click on publish to a folder and then upload using Cyberduck themselves, then do you really think that they will be able to use Dreamweaver any better? Dream on then if you think this!!

Using other software other than i tunes?

Can i use other software other than itunes?. If so ,do i need to use the updator before connecting and synching with other software such as windows media player?.

Yes, you can. But Windows Media Player cannot be used.
Some of the programs you can use are:
(1) Winamp (with iPod plugin)
(2) Xplay
(3) Anapod
Note that these are 3rd party programs which are not supported by Apple. If you elect to use them, you will have to ask the software developers for support.
By the way, why do you want to use another software rather than iTunes?

Can i use any other branded headphone jack other than Apple jack ?

My doubt is that , will there be any defects caused to any apple product if use any other banded 2.5mm jack other than apple? If so ma i know what can be those defects or mal-functionings..? Pls help me because the apple jack is not serving me to listen to music when i go for jogging, it does not have good grip and hence it falls off my ears. Kindly help me with this issue.

I do not really understand what you are saying, if you could, specify. The standard jack is 3.5 mm by the way, and it should be 3.5 mm on your iPhone. Any device bought from Apple, including third party devices (Meaning from other producers, eg. Sony, Bose, etc) should work fine. You are not limited to using included EarPods. If you mean that you wish to take apart the device and replace the headphone jack built into the iPhone, I strongly recommend you not to, as it will void the warranty, and has an extremely likely chance to damage your iPhone.
Edit Here is some info from another post of mine, to help you understand your new iPhone!
Reading material to familiarise yourself with your brand new iPhone- Congrats on your upgrade/purchase! :
(In order of importance)
1. Use Control Center on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
2. Use AirDrop to wirelessly share content - Apple Support
3. http://www.apple.com/au/ios/siri - Access SiRi by press and holding the home button.

Your iPhone is much more than an iPhone. Its a flashlight, a virtual wallet and a way to communicate on the go. Also, look out for the Apple Watch, expected release date sometime in 2015! http://www.apple.com/au/watch
Oh, and you're welcome

Online digital photo printing for site other than apple - how get photos easily onto site for uploading

Did anybody else lose Safari history -- other than Apple history -- overnight?

I rely on return visits to many of the websites I access every day. It's so convenient to merely use the Safari History dropdown menu to back track but today, along with other aggravating weirdness, I can no longer access any websites I visited earlier other than Apple. The only reason I've been here today to Apple's crazy environment is because of all the stupid things my computer's suddenly doing today. . . like ousting all web history except their own. What arrogance!
Is anybody else having this problem?
Thanks.

(people do forget to update their signatures you know )
I have the same issue. I was using my MBP Retina on the w/end and all of a sudden my auto complete was not working (for something as simple as news.com.au). I'd normally type in news and it would display the '.com.au' part.
Likewise for all my commonly used sites. They're simply gone. I've observed this before, but not bothered to investigate. This time, I had a large number of sites and it's just plain frustrating.
I have my history set to manually delete, and there's a heap of HDD space left.
As I mentioned, this is not the first time. I've observed this on 10.8 as well.

When i open an mp3 file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

when I open a music file from a source other than apple, does itunes create it's own file and can I then delete the original mp3?

If you use iTunes' default settings then when you add a file to iTunes it places a copy of the file in the iTunes media folder and it leaves the original in place. The exception is when you drag it to the Automatically Add To iTunes folder.
It does not convert the file. You can delete the original if you wish.

Is there other adobe apps that are available for tablets other than apple?

I see that there are several apps that are available for apple users. And I didnt know that photoshop was available to other devices until now. Either i am blind or it isnt as advertised.
Is photoshop the only app available to other devices other than apple?
Also, are these apps available to those who have the creative cloud subscription? or do you have to buy the mobile apps?

Adobe apps on Android. Apps like Ideas and Kuler used to be there but not sure why they were eventually pulled. Not enough interest, maybe? (I believe Kuler eventually went free for iOS.)
You have to buy the apps outright since those are closed electronic marketplaces that have no mechanism to connect to another marketplace (like Creative Cloud). The consolation is that if you stop subscribing to Creative Cloud, you'll keep any apps you've bought.

I have an IPod touch 4 gen. And I'm having problems with the audio when I use other than Apple brand earphones

I have an Ipod Touch 4 gen. and I'm having problems with audio when I use other than Apple brand earphones. I'm talking about music only so far, when I use apple earphones all is fine, but if I use other type of phones ( sony for exemple ) I can only hear the music and the background but not the lead singer voice, can anybody explain this to me? thank you.

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
- If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

There is a huge difference between sending email and sending messages.
Yes, I believe you when you say you can only send messages to other Apple products. The iPad is not a telephone, and therefore, it cannot text message. It can only iMessage, which means it can send and receive messages to/from other Apple products if they are on WiFi or an iMessage capable cellular network.
Email, however, is a whole different category. I don't really think you can only exchange email with other Apple products only. Make sure you have correctly identified the symptoms.

HT2954 How can I access my imac mail from a different computer other than Apple?

How can i access my imac email from a differnt computer other than
apple?

If you are using IMAP mail connection (IMAP keeps the mail on the server), then you just configure the other computer's mail client to access the same account.
If you are using a POP mail connection, then the mail is generally downloaded to your Mac and deleted from the server. That is a much more difficult problem to solve. NOTE: Google's gmail does have a POP option that does NOT delete the mail on the server, so it is accessible via the gmail web page.
A lot depends on what you are using for your mail service and whether you are using IMAP or POP protocols.

What happens if i use a software other than itunes to transfer music?

Hello people,
Im new to apple and its softwares, tricks..etc.
So the question is i purchased some stuff from itunes i would like to have in phone and i also have loads of music in my pc that were taken from old cds etc...after my research i noticed there is a itune match or someting that can allow you do that with a 25$/year cost which i agree is not much and i might end up doing it but i don't find it right to NOT HAVE FULL control over my stuff...so is there anyway to be able to transfer these old songs into iphone without using itunes without any risk or problem?
