Does anyone know of a good genealogy program for OSX?
Most of the offerings in the app store whilst being relatively cheap really do not come anywhere near the quality of software such as Family Historian or even Family Tree Maker. The graphics are at best "jazzy" and quite often hard to understand. Quite often they concentrate on pretty pictures which most genealogists don't need - they need a good database! Gramps is the only package that comes up to my expectations and runs on practically everything except OSX - and it's free!
Any suggestions would be most welcome as I continue to use a PC and windows for my genealogy pursuits.

Not cheap, but extremely robust. The company has been producing and supporting it for as long as Macs have been in existence.
If you ever need support (you probably won't) don't be surprised if Frank Leister picks up the phone himself.

I can't switch apps/programs on my iPhone 4. Whatever app I'm in is the only app I can use unless I restart my iPhone. Then I can choose a new app/program to use but then it's stuck on that app/program until I reboot my iPhone. Syncing it with iTunes doesn't seem to fix the problem and I regularly close apps/programs so I never have many multi-tasking.
This problem sometimes goes away for a brief period of time (an hour or two) but it's pretty much been this way for the past 48 hours.
I have a 32 GB iphone 4 that has the following on it: 4.9 GB Audio, 8.2 GB Photos, 6.2 GB Apps, 0.58 GB Other, 9.3 GB Free.
I am using iOS v 4.3.5
Does anyone know of a good fix?You mentioned rebooting, have you tried a cold reboot? That is is holding the home and lock buttons down for about 15 seconds?
Ignore the slider asking to turn off, just keep holding. Once it goes off continue to hold for about 10ish more seconds and it will eventually turn back on.

Does anyone know of a good A3 photo scanner compatable with OS 10.8 mountain lion? I need it to scan watercolour artwork. I was interested in Microtek scanmaker 9800XL and also Epson Expression 10000 but neither are compatible. Thanks :-)
Daniel Craigie-
How full is the hard drive that you are trying to save to? Not that it should matter, but have you tried scanning another document?
Is the scanner plugged directly into the Mac? Try it that way.
Disconnect all peripherals except keyboard, monitor, mouse and scanner and see if the problem goes away.
Luck-

Does anyone know of a good online video instruction on how to put together a photo slideshow in the new iMovie 11 version. I found uTube videos using imported videos, but I want to use photos in iPhoto. I'm very familiar with how to do this in the pervious version, but it's no so intuitive in the new version.
Has anyone tried this one.. I am not sure if I am allowed to post information about other products... so if I am not please delete this part of my message.

I have an older iMac 5,1 and the disc drive no longer works. I was hoping that I could the Apple USB super drive as a replacement, but the info on the super drive page says compatible with iMac 2012 or later. Does anyone know why it would not work for me?
A reply to similar question (Q & As , in product page Apple Store) says:
"...dissable the internal reader hardware from devices setup. Then plug the external usb superdrive and that's it." Answered by Enrique T from Lima Oct 25 2013.
If you can locate an external Apple USB 'Air" superdrive for earlier model MacBook Air, that should work. The newer one for the Air is the same as for iMac, now.
You may be able to use other brands of external USB optical drive with your older intel-based iMac, as some of them function capably. A few should also be able to see system discs or other bootable utilities on DVD.
Hopefully this helps.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Does anyone know what the default font is for MacMail?
Does anyone know what the default font is for the Mail program? My son changed my mail font and I want to change it back, but I can't remember what the original default is! Anyone? Thanks!
I rarely use Mail (normally use Gmail in Safari) so I am 99.99% sure mine is still at the default. It is Helvetica 12.

I've only had my iphone 5s for a week. I keep getting an error message of "Server has stopped responding." I need the server to work. Does anyone know if there is a "fix" for the problem? Other wise, I probably best return for a refund and get a Samsung. Thanks

Unlikely. Based on the complete lack of detail of the issue provided it is entirely possible the same issue would occur.
Unless and until the user provides some actual details of the problem, there is nothing the indicate that the issue is with the iPhone. -
I can't send email from my iPad. I am from Australia but on holidays in Greece. Does anyone know what is the smtp outserver for Greece that I should use?
As you haven't told us who your email provider is, no.
There isn't an SMTP server for Greece - it is either provided by your email provider, or the Internet provider you are connected through. -
Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.
All of the apps I have found on the App store either do not have the text to speech capability or if they have it they will only read a page at a time or simply read the text you paste into their window. I really do not understand what is so difficult about having this feature as Kindle provides it--though Amazon does not make the feature available on its iPhone 4 app.
Please help.thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue. -
Does anyone know if there is an adapter for the new nano iPod to connect to a FS-2 iPort?
Does anyone know if there is an adapter for the new nano iPod to connect to a FS-2 iPort?
IIRC the very original Bose Dock had the old 30 pin wiring and was designed initially for the iPod
If you have that version then you will need a converter to the later wiring ( sans firewire) as in Scosche .
and then the 30 pin to lightning Apple adapter
In theory it should work but who knows.
If you have a later one which already works with current devices then just the lightning adapter
It is important to get the genuine Apple adapter I have several and all work fine in several scenarios
