There are lower cost or free alternatives to MS Office.
IWork is very good and converts Word files easily. If you only need Numbers or Pages, you can purchase them seperately. There is also Neo-Office and OpenOffice.

  • I have just downloaded OSX Mountain Lion. I have Canoscan LiDE 110. I am continuously getting an error message, "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly. Application Specific Information: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException

    I have just downloaded OSX Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and installed it on my lap top. I have Canoscan LiDE 110. I am continuously getting an error message, "MP Navigator EX quit unexpectedly when ever I try to scan a document. Application Specific Information: *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NS Invalid Argument Exception..."
    Please let me know how to solve this problem.

    According to www.roaringapps.com the MP Navigator EX does not run on Mountain Lion.
    There are different versions of MP Navigator available depending on the Canon device you have. And there are version of this app that do work on 10.8. So www.roaringapps.com would need to amend their statement.

    Instead I use Canon Solution Menu EX, which does even more for you than the MP Navigator. This Solution Menu runs perfectly on Mountain Lion.
    Solution Menu is just a front-end for other Canon applications. When you click on the Use Scanner menu and select Auto Scan, OCR or Attach To E-mail, MP Navigator will open.
    As for the OP, they can obtain the latest version of MP Navigator, which is 10.8 compatible, and the supporting scanner driver via this link.

    And you don't need to uninstall an older version. The new version will overwrite.

  • I just upgraded to mountain lion and didn't realize that my quicken wasn't going to work.  How do I get that information back?

    I just upgraded my OS to Mountain Lion and didn't realize that my Quicken wasn't going to work on it.  Now what do I do?  How can I get my info off of here to start with something new?  Anyone have any ideas?  That was the one thing I didn't backup before I did the upgrade.  Grrr.....

    mende1 is right, however, you have a chance of recovering your files.
    Open a new Finder window.
    Press COMMAND+G
    Type the following in the box: /Library/Application Support/Quicken
    Remember, I don't use Quicken, so that folder may not exist.
    If you really need it though, you could downgrade back to Lion (or whatever you were on before).
    Sorry for the trouble you are having.

  • I just downloaded the new OS X Mountain Lion, and my iMessages status won't change!! How do I fix this?

    I just downloaded the new OS X Mountain Lion, and my iMessages status won't change!! How do I fix this?

    if you set up only iMessage account, you cannot change the status, because iMessage has no status.
    You should set up another service (for example AIM) with status service. Initially I didn't understand this "issue" too, but it is correct.

    I-Photo won't open even though I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and downloaded the I-Photo upgrader.
    But have you run the the iPhoto Library upgrader? It is installed in Applications > Utilities. Launch it and direct it to your iPhoto library.
    Which version of iPhoto did you upgrade from?
    The upgrader is only necessary, if you have been  running iPhoto7.1.2 or earlier.

  • I just downloaded the newest update for mountain lion. After downloading and restarting for installation, I got a message stating that  the update cannot be installed due to an error. Yet when I check I have version 10..8.3 and safari version

    I just downloaded the newest update for mountain lion. After downloading any restarting for installation, I got a message stating that the update cannot be installed due to an error. Yet when I check I have version 10..8.3 and safari version 6.0.3, which the update was for.  Does this mean that the update is iinstalled and the message was incorrect?

    Good timing! Oh well, at least you shouldn't have to update again for a while. It will be nice kickstarting your Mac with the very latest System Update knowing any hiccups from 10.8.2 would have been ironed out if they were going to affect your workflow at all.

  • Hve downloaded OS Mountain Lion but still  appears as a needing downloading in the apps purchases yet it is downloaded how do I get rid of it?

    I have downloaded OS Mountain Lion which was successful but going inot apps it still appears as requiring downloading but when I press to do this i am informed that download has been completed and so to cancel. How or why does this icon remain in the apps purchases and how should i get rid of it?

    It stays in your purchased apps list because you bought it from the MAS. The most likely reason it offers to be "downloaded" (it's not that it needs to be downloaded, it is that is can be downloaded) is because you installed the OS X upgrade, which deletes the installer from the HDD. This is normal behavior.

    You are not specific with your problem or errors but one thing that always throws people off is as follows:
    When entering you're login name you must use the entire login with carrier name such as [email protected] The field defults to just your name but not the carrier name.

  • Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, everything works fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN.

    Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, connection speed is fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN. My current location is Shanghai, China. OSX Mountain was installed this morning and everything worked fine until then. Is Express VPN not supported? What do i need to do in order to get it working again on my Macbook Pro (early 2011). I want to be able to go on websites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, ect...

    Hi,
    I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal.  I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8.  Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved.  Here is the steps sent to me
    Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
    Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
    (should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
    Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
    1. Click on Applications
    2. Click on Utilities
    3. Click on Terminal
    4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
    5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
    If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
    Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.

  • I participated in getting the free download of Mountain Lion for new Mac owners. It took me three days to finally get a code to do it and when I tried downloading it, the estimated time was 74 days 17 hours. Now an error occurred. What do I do?

It took me three days to finally get a code to do it and when I tried downloading it, the estimated time was 74 days 17 hours. Now an error occurred. What do I do? I am very frustrated and just want the great software to download in a resonalbe time!

    Take your Mac to a location with a fast, relaible Internet connection that will be all yours during the duration of the download.
    If you want to complain, PLEASE call Apple and do so.
    Internet only downloads of OS X is completely stupid, it assumes everyone has reliable Internet everywhere and /or no data caps.

  • TS3989 I have just downloaded the latest Software, Lion, but i still don't have the Stream highlighted...what have i done wrong?

    I have just downloaded the latest Software, Lion, but i still don't have the Stream highlighted...what have i done wrong?

    That's what I was thinking but my neighbour did the 10.8 and got the 11 so can't understand how she got it and I didn't.
    I have been reading about iphoto 11 and there has been a lot of bad press when using with the iphone, ipad etc. Is it, in your opionion, too much hassle just for photo stream?
    Thanks so much for all your help...I thought i was gonna go mad, lol

  • Hi!  I just updated to Mountain Lion to make full use of iCloud, and I am attempting to turn on Photo Stream.  I currently have iPhoto '09, version 8.12, and think I need to update to iPhoto'11, but I'm reluctant to do this due to very bad reviews.

    Hi!  I just updated to Mountain Lion to make full use of iCloud and am attempting to turn on PhotoStream.  I have iPhoto '09, version 8.12, so I think I need to upgrade to iPhoto '11.  I'm reluctant to do this as I've read a ton of bad reviews written by people who have purchased the new version.  Any suggestions?  Is it worth it?

    Obviously only you can decide what is "worth it".  Millions and millions and millions of people use and like iPhoto '11.  Some don't. If you want PhotoStream then you must upgrade to the minimum software levels

    Where are you seeing that information? Got a link?

    Plenty of people, including me, are currently running CC on Mavericks.

  • Just downloaded the Lion OS but my iPhoto will go for full screen???

    Just downloaded the Lion OS but my iPhoto will not go for full screen???

    Which version of iPhoto do you have? You need iPhoto '11 (version 9) to be able to use full screen mode. Some earlier versions of iPhoto will run under Lion, but only those applications built specifically to take advantage of Lion's full-screen feature can do so.

    1. Make sure that your machine is compatible with Mountain Lion
    http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
    2. Run into safe mode and test downloading it there
    3. If the above does not work, Create a new location(go to system preferences > network > click Location)
    4. Add Google DNS
