I am using OS 10.8.5 on a MacBook Pro, what version of Widows 8 should I purchase so I have an IE browser for some vendors I need to communicate who only have IE browser support?

but if all you need is to use internet explore and not play 3d games then
using bootcamp is overkill and overcomplex
use a free virtual machine such as virtualbox https://www.virtualbox.org/
and you'll have IE comming out of your ears in no time

  • Hi I am upgrading to the new MacBook Pro 13inch. I am trying to decide whetherr to get the MS Office for Mac 2011 or iWork 09.  Does anyone have any recommendations?  Cheers

    As per title above

    Choose if:
    MS OfficeMac - $$
    If you need to keep your Office skills up to remain employable and/or exchanging some files with Windows Office users.
    99% of the business world uses Office on Windows PC's. Copy protected.
    If you are constantly exchanging files with Windows users, it's better to use Windows because of formatting and slight differences between the Win Office and OfficeMac versions, fonts etc. You can then choose to install Windows onto your Mac in a virtual machine program, then run Win Office in that, BootCamp or just get a Windows PC and Office.
    Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
    iWork -$$
    If you plan to remain totally in the limited 6% Mac market share  environment with little file exchange options with Windows/Linux users. Copy protected.
    LibreOffice - free
    A donationware suite of office programs like Office that accepts Office files, cross platform (Linux, OS X and Windows) that offers maximum compatibility, only fonts and formatting could be thrown off a little between platforms. Not copy protected, open source software.
    If you wish to be able to open and access dam near anything from Windows users without paying for OfficeMac, don't need 100% or near 100% compatibility with Windows Office, then this is a excellent choice.
    If you ever should need to send a LibreOffice file to someone else to edit or alter, you can also send the appropriate OS copy of the installer package and it will cost them nothing to use.

  • PPT unable to open in browser for some users

    PPT unable to open in sharepoint browser for some users? 

    Hi,
    If the issue only occurs to some users not all, I’d recommend you check client issue and permission issue. For client issue, you could try compatibility view in IE.
    If there is more than one WFE servers in your environment, then please ensure SharePoint Shared Services is started on all WFE servers.
    Here is a link which provides solution to similar issue, for your reference:

  • What version of Oracle should I use?

    Hi, Opologies for such a basic question. I am new to Oracle and need to create a fairly small database for a final year university project. The project will require me to pull information from a database using a Korne shell script running in Linux.
    What version of Oracle should i download? Does this come with some sort of development tool?
    Many thanks for any help that could be given!

    I'm having the same issue. Different programs though, it's mostly browsers and adobe products. I thought maybe it was heat related but it's not. It seems that as soon as Lion was about to be released, the updates were updating in preparation for Lion. I delayed updating the software updates because Adobe (my career) isn't totally compatible with Lion yet. Before I even started getting update notifications, though, within the recent week, it's freezing up constantly. I don't know what to do. It seems to be happening with my brower choice, I'm using Firefox and Chrome as my main browsers. I keep alot of sessions open but that shouldn't cause (and has never caused) this constant freezing issue. I did install some extensions in Chrome and Firefox, maybe that's the problem... The issues began after those were installed though, 3 weeks to a month later... Maybe the software updates (that I installed thinking it would correct the freezing issue), maybe they are preventing other browsers ? Maybe Apple is getting rid of Chrome and Firefox ? I'm not having issues with Safari (yet) though I just opened it for the first time in 2 months... only because the macbook is freezing (and it's also rebooting while asleep, closing all of my projects and not saving them)...
    My Macbook Pro is the same year and the HDD is a year new. The manufacture recall had the video whatever replaced a few months ago.
    I've never had these kinds of problems with an Apple computer. I'm using Snow Leopard and I'm very attached to this laptop ! It's configured perfectly.
    Why oh why does it freeze constantly within the recent 1-2 weeks ?
    Someone please help us !

  • My iphone 4 has no data storage. I have deleted all apps, music and texts and it still says I only have 1.9 GB available. There is nothing in my storage.

    My iphone 4 has no data storage. I have deleted all apps, music and texts and it still says I only have 1.9 GB available. There is nothing in my storage.

    The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud.  Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device.  Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
    Also check:
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well.  Tap Show All Apps to get the complete list of apps and MB used for backup storage.
    A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

  • My airport extreme (generation 5) was set up using wifi and has worked flawlessly (on macbook pro 2 iphones and window 7 HP pc)until recently. I have reset to factory defaults over and over but still cannot get on the internet. Any suggestions?

    My airport extreme (generation 5) was set up using wifi and has worked flawlessly (on macbook pro 2 iphones and window 7 HP pc)until recently. I have reset to factory defaults over and over but still cannot get on the internet. However I can then take my DSL cord and insert it in a different Ethernet port other than the WAN port and I can get internet on my Mac and iphones but only wifi on my husband's PC.  I hate to spend another $179 if this is just something I'm doing wrong. Please help

    I'm having a bit of trouble confirming that the ZyXEL is a combination modem & wireless-N router. If it is, then you really won't get any advantages of using the 802.11g AirPort.
    If the range of your ZyXEL is limited, you may find that doing either or both of the following will help: 1) Move the ZyXEL so that it is higher vs. lower in the room, that is away from any closed areas or placed in a metal cabinet, and 2) Changing radio channels. The latter is especially important in you live in an area where there are a number of competing Wi-Fi.
    A good utility to find out, is iStumbler. You would use this to find these other Wi-Fi and find which have the strongest signal value. Those that do, you would also want to note which channel they are operating on, and then, change yours to one that is at least 3-5 channels away. So, for example, if you find strong ones on channels 1 & 6, change yours to 11.

  • I'm modifying someone else's website for the first time (noob = yes).  I only have ftp access to the site server.  Before uploading changes, is there a easy/quick/recommended/etc way to make a copy of the files I'm about to replace?

    Great, first post, sorry for the title.  But to repeat it:
    I'm modifying someone else's website for the first time (noob = yes).  I only have ftp access to the site server.  Before uploading changes, is there a easy/quick/recommended/etc way to make a copy of the files I'm about to replace?

    You can use the Dreamweaver FTP (or a different FTP client) to completely copy the original website to your development computer, then, before making changes, you can copy the whole thing to a directory called something like "website original"
    If you want to run both the old and new sites on the remote server, this is often possible. Add a folder/directory to the server and call it something like "new" and upload the new files there until you are ready to replace the old site
    All of this you can do with FTP

    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 .
