Will my DVD installed iWork 09 update or do I need to purchase the new apps
I have installed on my Mac mini iwork 09 (from a DVD) will I need to purchase the new iWork apps or will they update for free?
I had the same problem and got it working. Here's what I did:
Moved the iWork '09 folder from Applications to the trash (didn't empty it though )
Sign out of the App Store and quit.
Open the App Store and sign in again.
Move the iWork '09 folder back to Applications.
Clicked on Updates in the App Store, and refreshed the page.
The three apps showed up with an Upgrade button instead of the price/buy app button. Had to re-enter my account ID and password to associate the apps with my account. After all that (and a couple hours before ), the apps started appearing in the App Store on my other computers. -
OK, this is the first time I have used this so I may not have started correctly, so here goes another try. I opened a Numbers Document and noticed the presentation was different from when I worked it before. Since there have been a number of auto updates since I had worked in Numbers, I assumed I had an updated program. I found it hard to figure out so I closed the document and went on to other things. When I went back to it I found a message saying I needed a newer version of the program to open it. Fortunately, the document was backed up and when I opened the backup it came in my familiar form. I have not purchased the new version of Numbers but suspect that is what was using for that brief period yesterday. Anyone know haw that happened?
Hi Sailor,
It is pretty amazing you got a new version without even knowing it.
In System Preferences > App Store you can turn off the automatic updates by unchecking "Install app updates" as I've done here:
If you're using Numbers across platforms and displaying dynamic output on the iPad or doing data entry there, you'll be *much* happier with Numbers 3.0 than the old version. If you're doing a lot of traditional printing of heavily formatted documents, the old version is much better. For most day-to-day uses in between it's a toss-up. The new version, despite its flaws, is a powerful application that can enhance productivity in ways the old version can't.
For more on the differences between the two, see the features gained, features lost, and workarounds threads, plus Apple's support document on features to be reintroduced in the coming months .

I have just purchased the new macbook pro 15" and see that it comes with 2 discs in the box, one being Mac OS X and the other being Applications Install DVD. Are these pre installed? or do I need to insert the discs and install them?
All has been installed. Those are there in case you need to do a reinstall. Unlike most Windows based hardware vendors these days. Apple still ships software you might need in case a drive fails. Even in the case of the new MacBook Air, Apple ships the software on a flash drive.

I am using an I-mac series 4 with a 2GHZ processor, I tried to convert to Lion and the rresponse was the chip was not fast enough, can I upgrade the chip or do I need to purchase a new computer?
Unfortunately yes, but Snow Leopard is still a great OS in the meantime so don't rush in too quick if you really don't need to.
Good Luck

I have just purchased and installed a new Airport extreme base station but now the Airport Utility cannot see my old Airport Express. Are their compatibility issues and do I need to purchase a new Express?
When you can, take a look at the old AirPort Express and locate the model number in the faint print on the side of the device.
If you see A1084 or A1088, this is an older Express version that is no longer supported by the current version of AirPort Utility that you are using with the new AirPort Extreme.
If that is the case, your Express is at least 6 years old...probably older...so it is about time to treat yourself to a new version with much faster speeds and more features. -
I need to purchase a new portable power adapter which has a barrel connector. Can not locate a new power adapter on the web site. Went through the troubleshooting, it is definitely not charging. Any one have info on this?
You can buy from Apple. Or other vendors, such as Amazon.
Check the wattage - it is printed on the side of the charger. Do not buy a lower wattage.
Here's one. Note this is not an endorsement, only an example.

I purchased the new gen 7 ipod nano and needed to update itunes to 10.7 but my current software says its up to date and won't download 10.6.8 Currently I have 10.5.8 Why won't this update?
The first generation Intel-based Mac's were released in January 2006.
Snow Leopard requires an Intel processor:
General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
If you go to the Apple menu & "About this Mac" this will tell you what type of processor you have: -
I am soo unhappy! Everyday I am discovering what I cannot do on my iPhone 5s! Since September 20, I purchased the new 5s and iPad mini with Wi-fi and I have had nothing but trouble. I cannot use my iPad, it is worthless! My old iPad 3 worked better which I traded it in for. I cannot get Wi-fi to work properly on either device. I have to be standing next to my router for it to work. My router works fine and worked fine with my old iPad 3. The list is endless...... I am on my 3rd replacement for iPhone and still experiencing problems.
-Facetime just starts without me promting it
-I have almost every call I make drop
-Siri does not register with my voice, very frustrating!
-I have a new car and the 5s will not let me use my console phonebook favorites shortcuts
-I cannot attach a photo from a relpy or an email for that matter. WTH??? Why??
-I cannot scroll to the bottom of a page without playing "spin the wheel" and have the pop up screen come up and then accidentally hit private mode then miss phone calls. But I can scroll to the top with a couple of tries. I have small fingers so why is this so user unfriendly?
-My cellular connection notice keeps coming on? Why? Both on iPhone iPad
-My Wi-fi does not work I have to be standing next to my router for it to work for both my iPhone 5s and iPad mini. My router works fine and worked fine with my old iPad 3.
-My icloud is not saving my new phone numbers so each time I have received a new phone numbers get LOST!
- I now cannot look anything up while on the phone AND NO ONE TOLD ME THIS BEFORE I PURCHASED THIS PHONE! I really have needed it through all the time I have been on the phone with either Apple or Sprint! A total of of at least 40hours and I am not exaggerating!
-I have to switch to too many pages to write emails, texts or even phone calls! Not as easy as 1,2,3. WHY?
-Merging on iCloud can erase numbers be careful! What a nice option I thought. As my Android/Gmail basically threw up on my new iPhone. So I had multiple contacts of the same person. E.G. 5 Joe Smoo. All listed separately, one was an email,2nd was FB, 3rd Home phone, 4th cell and 5th fax or listed as other. Well, if someone has 2 cell phones or emails and you merge then iCloud takes the privilege of ERASING one of the 3s or contacts. Also, some of them were listed as other and that too got ERASED. Thank you iCloud! I only discovered this after merging at least 20 contacts because I was told I had to to manually go into my phonebook to try and fix the quadruplet or more names on my phonebook.
-There is more believe me! BTW I have been pretty dedicated to Apple (macbook, iMac and iPad), only I had an Android phone because my carrier didn't have iPhone & I did not want AT&T. This is turning me into sour grapes or should I say apples!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please respond if you have similar problems or any because no one else seems to be experiencing such problems as I have. If you are an Apple employee then please have someone contact me.Dude or hot-spur,
Not fishy at all!!!! You really think I would have taken any more of my time to post a bogus rant? We'll no, it is unfortunately all true. I want to hear from anyone who is experiencing such problems not anyone else that wants to put there two cents in. I really don't need anymore hate or negativity. Just people's experiences because I feel like I am the only one having so many problems. Thank you
Yes, I have had some unfortunate bad luck to have so many problems at the same time, but some of them are just things you cannot do on the new OS.
Thank you again -
Can you please help me. I purchased the new Apple I 4s phone from AT&T. I bought it out right. NO CONTRACT!! I paid almost $1000.00 for it. I then, had it enrolled it in my company's ATT service plan. They paid the bill for my service. Since, I have left the company. I have retained, and assumed financial responsibility for the phone, and the phone number with AT&T. The same day I assumed ifinancial responsibility, I had the phone number ported to a new service provider. ( Straight Talk ) After doing so, my phone worked fine. (as far as cellular service) NO DATA Service !!!! I have been on the phone with AT&T, Straight Talk, and Apple, FOR HOURS over TWO days!!! Trying to get this problem resolved. All I need to do, is change my APN settings (access point name ) settings. Its my phone!!! Why does any body have this APN menu locked from me??? I've been on the phone for two days between, AT&T, Straight Talk, and Apple products technical support teams. Everybody points the finger at the next guy!! What can I do to get the phone, that I paid for, work for more than just a phone, and a paper weigh?
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

<Email Edited by Host>Wow... you seriously over paid for an iPhone.
That probably explains why you have/had no clue you were purchasing a locked device and think it's an Apple problem to get it unlocked. -
I recently purchased the new nano (7th generation) and I love it except for one issue. On my old 2nd generation nano, when I played podcasts, it would play podcasts one at a time. So if I had 20 episodes of a podcast on the device, it would stop at the end of each one.
With the new nano, I can select and play a podcast, but when it’s over, it goes straight to the next one without prompting. It keeps on playing all of the episodes of any podcast until you stop it manually. Setting the repeat function differently does not prevent episodes from being played automatically.
This can be very irritating when I only want to listen to one podcast. I’ve often fallen asleep listening to one episode of a podcast, only to be woken up hours later by the iPod working its way through all subsequent episodes. It is also annoying that any podcast which has started automatically in this way is marked as ‘played’ – even if you stop it within a few seconds. This makes it hard to keep track of what you have actually listened to.
Is there any way to set the iPod to play all the podcasts individually? I have read the User Guide from cover to cover, and can’t find a way of doing this.
MDDude or hot-spur,

I have just purchased the new iPad with the camera connection kit. I just want to be able insert my SD card into the Pad and view my photos, not import them.Can this be done and how? Please advise. Thank you.
See this article: iPad: Using the iPad Camera Connection Kit
No, this canot be done, afaik. When your camera or card is connected, you will see the thumbnails in the camera pane, but not full size preview. So to browse your photos on the iPad you will need to import them to your camera roll. But you need not delete them from the camera or card after importing, so you might simply import selected photos to your camera roll from the camera grid and then delete them again from the camera roll after importing and browsing, without removing them from the card/camera.

Do I Need to Purchase the Nike+ Ipod Sport Kit or Just the Nike Sensor
I'm a newbie to all of this. I am considering purchasing either the new Ipod Nano or the updated Ipod Touch (32). Would I need to purchase the Nike Sensor Kit if I purchase the Ipod touch or just the Nike sensor to insert in the shoe? Thanks in advance to whomever can provide guidance on this issue.
I can speak for a new iPod touch and tell you that you only need the sensor. That's what I have and I love it. I'm really enjoying Nike's website and the history it builds.
From what I understand about the new nano, it has some sort of pedometer built right in so you can get a calculation of steps all by itself. You can also add the nike sensor to get more information on your walk/run, I'm just not certain if its the whole kit you need or just the sensor in that instance.
