HT5140 How to use RTL when writing in Arabic on macbook air?

I cannot write from right to left on my macbook air? I have Word 2011 installed already.

I've looked for these apps on the app store but they are very expensive.
I don't think so.  TextEdit and Open/LibreOffice are free.  Mellel light is $15.  Pages 5 is $20.  All much much cheaper than Word, which is really a defective app when it comes to languages.
Sometimes you can make Word for Mac work with Arabic if you import an arabic document created with Windows Word and then edit that.  But I don't think very many users find this workaround that useful in practice.

    Does anyone know how to use an Apple Keyboard A1359 with a MacBook Air?

    I'm going to ask the hosts to move this to the macbook forum since you're more likely to get answers there than in the iPad one.

  • How to use an external hard drive on a MacBook Air?

    Hi there.
    Recently I bought a portable USB external hard drive for my MacBook Air due to my full startup disk. I also bought multiple disks for the hard drive. I inserted the disk, hooked up the USB, and did everything properly. When I first hooked it up, I lost all internet files that I had saved. All images, videos and downloads (such as Minecraft and other gaming downloads) from the internet were gone and unable to find.
    Now, I don't want to make the wrong move and lose all of my internet files again, so I am asking how to transfer files SAFELY to the USB without any files being deleted. I tranfered files before, but they were just short cuts to the original file, so I am also asking how to fix that as well. My Dad was a computer technician, although he didn't work for Apple, so he doesn't know how to use the USB.
    I've tried everything to find my internet files, but nothing. If there is a way to get them back, I'd be glad if you shared that with me. My dock files aren't working due to this insanely full startup disk, so I'd appreciate it if you could tell me ASAP how to use the USB, how to SAFELY transfer files without them turning into shortcuts, and how to get my internet files back.
    Thank you very much.
    P.s My OS X version is 10.8.3 (Not with Mountain Lion)

    You cannot format a drive so that files will be automatically put on that drive when you run out of room on another drive. Transferring the files must be done specifically by you. You will need to learn how to manage free space on the SSD because 64 GBs is a bit small for much more than OS X.
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

  • How to use old 2005 cinema display (20'') with MacBook Air (mid-2009)

    My old 20'' cinema display (2005) has three ports coming out of its power box (single-port dvi, usb, firewire).  Is it possible to use this display with my newer MacBook Air (mid-2009) ? If so, what kind of connector do I need?  Thank you very much for your help.

    To use my old Cinema display (2005) with my old PowerMac G5 (2005) I had to plug in all three ports (DVI, usb and firewire) into the desktop.  Can I really use the display just with the DVI output plugged into my MacBook Air mini-Display Port ? 

  • How to use case when function to calculate time ?

    Dear All,
    May i know how to use case when function to calculate the time ?
    for the example , if the First_EP_scan_time is 12.30,  then must minus 30 min.  
    CASE WHEN FIRSTSCAN.EP_SHIFT <> 'R1' AND FIRSTSCAN.EP_SHIFT <> 'R2'
    THEN ROUND(CAST((DATEDIFF(MINUTE,CAST(STUFF(STUFF((CASE WHEN SHIFTCAL.EP_SHIFT = 'N1'
    THEN CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),DATEADD(DAY,+1,LEFT(FIRSTSCAN.EP_SCAN_DATE ,8)),112) + ' ' + REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),DATEADD(HOUR,+0,SHIFTDESC.EP_SHIFT_TIMETO + ':00'),108),':','')
    ELSE LEFT(FIRSTSCAN.EP_SCAN_DATE ,8) + ' ' + REPLACE(CONVERT(VARCHAR(8),DATEADD(HOUR,+0,SHIFTDESC.EP_SHIFT_TIMETO + ':00'),108),':','') END),12,0,':'),15,0,':') AS DATETIME),CAST(STUFF(STUFF(LASTSCAN.EP_SCAN_DATE,12,0,':'),15,0,':') AS DATETIME)) / 60.0 - 0.25) AS FLOAT),2)
    ELSE ROUND(CAST((DATEDIFF(MINUTE,CAST(STUFF(STUFF(FIRSTSCAN.EP_SCAN_DATE,12,0,':'),15,0,':') AS DATETIME),CAST(STUFF(STUFF(LASTSCAN.EP_SCAN_DATE,12,0,':'),15,0,':') AS DATETIME)) / 60.0) AS FLOAT),2) END AS OTWORK_HOUR

    Do not use computations in a declarative language.  This is SQL and not COBOL.
    Use a table of time slots set to one more decimal second of precision than your data. You can now use temporal math to add it to a DATE to TIME(1) get a full DATETIME2(0). Here is the basic skeleton. 
    CREATE TABLE Timeslots
    (slot_start_time TIME(1) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
     slot_end_time TIME(1) NOT NULL,
     CHECK (start_time < end_time));
    INSERT INTO Timeslots  --15 min intervals 
    VALUES ('00:00:00.0', '00:14:59.9'),
    ('00:15:00.0', '00:29:59.9'),
    ('00:30:00.0', '00:44:59.9'),
    ('00:45:00.0', '01:00:59.9'), 
    ('23:45:00.0', '23:59:59.9'); 
    Here is the basic query for rounding down to a time slot. 
    SELECT CAST (@in_timestamp AS DATE), T.start_time
      FROM Timeslots AS T
     WHERE CAST (@in_timestamp AS TIME)
           BETWEEN T.slot_start_time 
               AND T.slot_end_time;

    Hi, I recently got the iPhone 6, a bit of mucking around with iMessage, over it to be honest. When i message from my macbook air my recipients receive my message from my email. HELP! it never used to do this. its so annoyingly frustrating.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
    After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

  • How can I use migration assistant to load my new Macbook Air?

    How do I use migration assistant to load my new Macbook Air?  Can this be done only wirelessly?

    No, you can transfer from a Mac wirelessly, wired ethernet, Thunderbolt or Firewire. Your older Mac must have the same connection, but you can use adaptors if necessary. For example, you can use an Ethernet cable with an Ethernet-Thunderbolt adaptor if your older Mac has an ethernet port.
    Wireless tends to be pretty slow (can take many hours) so it's recommended to choose a wired connection whenever you can.

  • I received an email containing a spreadsheet created using Mac Office 2004 on my new MacBook Air equipped with Mac Office 2011.  When I saved the document, my Finder lists the document without the .xls file extension. Why?

    I received an email containing a spreadsheet created using Mac Office 2004 on my new MacBook Air equipped with Mac Office 2011.  When I saved the document, my Finder lists the document without the .xls file extension. Why?
    All other .xls documents created by Mac Office 2004 retained the .xls file extention when I migrated them over to the new MacBook Air.

    I know what happened.  When I saved the document I somehow hit the Hide File Extension box.  Sorry to trouble this group. I simply resaved it w/o activating the Hide File Extension feature.
