Free/Cheaper Program that Combines Files?

I have a large excel file that has 225 pages and need to combine it with several word docs of various sizes. Does anyone have a program they can recommend?
Thanks!
Dani

Danielle, might try OpenOffice, it's FREE!

Hello
I just started using Time Machime and I was a little worried about it trashing some of the older files when it needs space.
It deletes oder files when the drive is full.
However, it does not simply delete the oldest files.
It deletes the oldest files that you have already updated.
For example, if you create a document/file, then update that same document a week later, they will both be in TM.
When the drive gets full, only the 1st copy will be deleted since it is no longer on your HD.
If the file is still on your HD, it will remain in TM.
I have a 2TB drive for TM and the earliest backup is from March of last year so very doubtful you will have sometthing deleted you don't want to.
However, if it is that important, it should not be deleted from your HD (which will keep it from getting deleted from TM) or you should make a copy of it elsewhere.
I use SuperDuper! for additional, bootable backups and I recommend you spend the $$ for something you find useful.

I was using AVG. I downloaded Firefox 4 and got the message that it's not compatible. Is there another free virus program that works well? Thanks!

my AVG is NOT compatible with Firefox 4....is there another free virus program that i can use?

Try updating AVG. According to their forums, they have updated the Linkscanner toolbar. You may need to do an uninstall/reinstall (see [http://forums.avg.com/mx-en/avg-free-forum?sec=thread&act=show&id=155295 Free Antivirus | Forum - Update For Firefox 4 Leaves Old "AVG Safe Search" Add-On]) .
Does it work?
'''Edit:''' If you end up deciding to switch away from AVG, you can get opinions on free antivirus software on other forums, such as [http://windowssecrets.com/forums/ Windows Secrets]. Many users like Microsoft Security Essentials, others prefer Avast. You get the picture.

Best free / cheap software for zipping files?

Is there any free / cheap software recommended for zipping files that works well with a Mac?

OS X includes an utility to compress and decompress ZIP files. It's called "Archive Utility" and it's stored on /System/Library/CoreServices, but you have to modify some settings.
To access to this utility, open a Finder window, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type /System/Library/CoreServices. Then, open "Archive Utility".
By default, this app compresses files in a CPGZ file, but you can modify this. Go to Archive Utility menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences, and choose "Zip archive" next to "Use archive format".
Then, to compress files, just close the Preferences window, and go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Create Archive. Finally, choose with the Command key the files you want to compress, and press "Archive", so a ZIP file will be created

Is it possible to choose the program that opens files I've downloaded?

I just got a mac and therefore started using safari so I'm definitely not accustomed to it yet...when I download word documents from my profs at school, and I click on them after they've downloaded to open them, it opens with TextEdit. I don't like TextEdit and want to know if I can change that so when I click to open them, they open with Pages. TextEdit doesn't always show the exact same content as Pages, as I just found out today when I printed out some homework but was missing half a page since TextEdit didn't show it. Thanks!

Greetings,
Yes, you can specify the program used to open files you download, as long as it's capable of doing it. In the case of using Pages for Word documents, Pages has to convert the document first, and that won't always give you all the formatting that was in the original Word file. All you have to do is select the file, press Command-I to Get Info, then click on the disclosure triangle next to the "Open with:" section and choose the program you want to use to open it. You also have the option to make that change apply to all such documents, including those on your Mac already.
Then close the Get Info panel and you're done.

Are there any programs that open up unix files on Macbook Pro?

I run files that with all sorts of extensions like .eprt, .drw, .step, etc. I have tried using The Unarchiver - a free program available at the App Store.

The UnArchiver is a program that uncompresses files bascially, it won't run the files themselves.
For that you will need to investigate the extension and what program can address that file type, then if there is a program version for OS X that will open that file type.

In Mac OS Leopard, are there any maintenance programs that I could run

I recently had a failed attempt at installing Final Cut Studio, which has been resolved, but the filed install has left things "weird". The computer crashes ALL the time, there are left over mini-programs that I can't seem to get rid of unless I force it to delete, and the computer, which is a Core 2 Extreme 2.8 GHz, is slower than my iBook on some different tasks. The computer has been taking forever to shut down and boot up.
Any ideas? If not, i will just reinstall all of mac os on it.

Have you updated to OS 10.5.3 yet? It fixes a bug that prevented reinstallation of the Combo updater. If not, download the Combo updater rather than using software update and then install it. If you have used software update, download the Combo updater and reinstall it.
There are some applications such as AppDelete or AppCleaner (both free) or AppZapper (shareware) which claim to clean out all the bits and pieces of an application. There is always the old-fashioned way, "search and destroy" using finder.
There are several free utility programs that accomplish much of what has been recommended that you do in Terminal and some other operations that are useful. OnyX, IceClean, Yasu, Maintenance and a host of others are available. Check them out at MacUpdate or VersionTracker.
I have experienced some failed installs with a couple of apps in Leopard that, I think, were related to some permissions issues. Check the permissions of all of the Final Cut Studio items, including any files that it created and trash the .plist file for it that should be found at User > Library > Preferences.
If that does not improve the situation I would be inclined to uninstall Final Cut Studio and do a fresh install of it.
Oh, be prepared for the permissions repair in any of the utilities such as OnyX to take quite some time. Leopard is incredibly slow at permissions repair in my experience with it to date.
Good Luck!

You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Step 1
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

What is the best software programs that I can use to read, write and modify data / files on external HD (NTFS format i.e. Windows) ?

Hi guys,
I’m new to Mac and have a MacBook Pro Lion OS (10.6.8 I think !!!) with Parallels 7 (Windows 7) installed. Can someone please tell me what is the best software program that I can use to read, write and modify data / files on external HD (NTFS format) from the Mac OS ? I heard of Paragon and Tuxera NTFS. Are they free ? Are they good ? Are there any other software programs out there ? I heard that some people have issues with Paragon.
Thanks.

Your best bet would be to take the drive to the oldest/compatible with that drive Windows PC and grab the files off, right click and format it exFAT (XP users can download exFAT from Microsoft) and then put the files back on.
Mac's can read and write all Windows files formats except write to NTFS (and in some cases not read) so if you can change the format of the drive to exFAT (all data has to be remove first) then you will have a drive that doesn't require paid third party NTFS software (a license fee goes to Microsoft) for updates.
Also it's one less hassle to deal with too.

Does anyone have a simple program that will return the size of a file

Does anyone have a simple program that will return the size of a file?

I quite hate it when I receive the incorrect amount of yoctocandela per metre squared. Swarthy people
can't properly convert poundal feet to barleycorn; throws off the whole conversion! Aaah, you get what
you paid for.I recognize those figures; you've got your outsourced file sizes from Zanzibar; admit it! I always apply
the scientific approach when I've got file sizes back from Zanzibar: I simply divide those numbers by
pi (very scientific) and drop the eleven (ueber scientific, because 11 is prime even when looked upon
as a binary number) least significant bits. And remember: never compare two floating point numbers
for equality. (<--- that's a free tip)

I have The latest Firefox installed on an older Dell, and the CA security suite thru my ISP, which takes all my CPU and causes everything to freeze when I try to access it's features. I need a free internet security program that does tax my system so much

Have older Dell Dimension 32/bit with Win XP Prof 2002. I have installed CA security suite from my ISP, which is a huge program and uses 100% of CPU on start-up & shut down, slowing everthing to a snails pace. I have removed evrything I don't need using 30 day free Revo Unistaller Pro, but when I try to access CA's Firewall to add programs to the exception rule, it will open, then freezes along with Firefox tabs and anything else. Can't even shut down from start menu. I want to get rid of CA(although it is a good program, it's too big), and go back to using my Win Firewall(or another better free firewall that's good for more than 30 days trial) and some other free internet security program that is easy, runs in the background and doesn't take all my resources and isn't just a 30 day free trial till you buy the program. I am also trying to install a wireless adapter so I can drop my ISP and use the free city/county signal as no work for 20 months!
== This happened ==
A few times a week
== Trying to access CA security Suite Firewall

I am the original poster, and I got rid of CA Security Suite & and loaded the Avast! which has some great features even on the freeware. No more crashes or freezing & yes I think there is a problem with CA & Firefox, but am not sure what it is. CA was a big time hog. I also got rid of my ISP and installed a Intellinet Wireless G PCI Card & now am completely wireless on my PC. Faster by far than what I was paying $50/month for & I use my Windows Firewall.

Looking for a program that can handel import and export of palm doc files

I am looking for a program that can handel the import and export of palm doc Files that can convert them to to either txt or RTF files for Vista 32, running Palm Desktop 7.1.
Could anyone give me a few suggestions of any plug-ins that would be good me?

Ok, you need to clean uninstall Palm desktop 6.2. Install Palm desktop 4.1.4 and download and install documents to go version 6.
Here are the clean uninstall instructioins for Vista.
You should first make a copy of your data to have just in case something
happens. You can find your data files by going to Start --> Documents -->
Palm OS Desktop. Highlight your Palm Desktop username and right click and
copy. Then go to your PC desktop right click on a blank spot and select paste.
If this is the first time you are installing Palm desktop and encountering a problem, skip the previous step.
Now you want to uninstall Palm Desktop and remove everything that has to do
with Palm Desktop from your computer.
Go to the following locations on the PC and delete the folders listed below.
C:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata\local\virtualstore\Program Files\Palm or
PalmOne
C:\Users\[Vista Login Name]\appdata
*Note you may need to view hidden folders to get to appdata. To do that go
into your control panel and open folder options. Go to view tab and uncheck
hide hidden files.
Once this is done you will need to delete some registry keys from your PC Operating System.
Word of warning, going here and deleting the wrong thing can cause your PC
from starting up, crashing and deletion of programs and data. If you feel
you are unsure of yourself, see if you have a friend that can help you or a
PC technician that you can pay to help you. This procedure will show them everything they need to delete. To make sure we have a good copy of the current registry, we need to do a backup of the Registry.
Go to start on the PC, in the search field type "regedit.exe" without quotes.
Highlight COMPUTER, go to File --> Export. Should pop up with a Save As box.
Current location is fine, should be in My Documents or save to a location you will remember. In the file name on the bottom type "backup[todaysdate]" i.e. backup07072008. Next, the hard part.
The easiest way to make sure your working with the correct key, highlight the key i.e. palm quick install, and press delete on your keyboard. It will ask you, are you sure. Say yes. Do the same thing for all keys below.
If you make a mistake, stop what you are doing. And call a PC technician.
BUT do not turn off your computer.
The reg keys are as follows (Note: some of theses reg keys will not be here
but if they are delete them)
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Palm Quick Install
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\PalmOne File Transfer
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\U.S. Robotics\Pilot Desktop
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Palm, Inc.
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmDesktopAutorun
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\palmOne
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PalmSource
* HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\PalmSource or anything else that says palm
Next reboot your computer.
Then reinstall your palm desktop from the CD and do a hotsync. Use the username that is on the handheld.
