I just updated my OS to Lion, I am no longer able to open all my "Word" documents, is there a way I can do this or change them all to Pages?
I just updated my OS to Lion, I am no longer able to open all my "Word" documents, as the new system does not support this, can I get around this somehow?, or some way to change the documents all to "Pages"? Or, should I reinstall the Leopard OS, change all the word documents to Pages and then reinstall Lion?
Thanks
You can open Word files in Pages by default without any problem. Select one of the Word files by clicking once on it in Finder. Press cmd-i to Get Info on the file. In the bottom half of the window that opens, is Open with:. Below that click on the drop down box and select Pages.app. Then click on Change All... and confirm the "Are you sure... " warning. Now, all Word files will open in Pages.

After hours of back-up, downloading and uploading...I am now updated with all the latest Mac software. However, I no longer have access to Excel and Word. Is there a way I can access my documents in either of those? Help, please.
If you have older versions of excel and word that previously ran under the Rosetta emulator (allows PowerPC code to run on Intel system), they will no longer work with Lion.
You can use the Apple programs Pages and Numbers to access the files. They can be bought and downloaded from the App store. NeoOffice is available at http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php which has Lion support. OpenOffice doesn't talk to Lion support, it's at http://www.openoffice.org/ -

Sorry ... I read but was unfortunately distracted from your original post. You have a system that came with Lion. The Lion that is on your system is only for your computer and cannot be downloaded from the app store again because you never purchased it officially through the App Store.
Try this for making an external USB/DVD copy of Recovery on an external disk. internet is still required for reinstall, though, I believe: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4848. But at least you have a separate Recovery Partition if you ever need a fully new and empty internal disk.
Your assumption is incorrect. Although he may not be able to download it from the App store he can download it directly for the Apple servers using the recovery partition on his original drive.
All you have to do is start the install routine and then point the install to an external hard drive. Once the download is finished the computer will reboot to start the install. At that reboot disconnect the external drive so the install can not start. Boot the computer back into the OS on the internal hard drive, which is what will happen automatically once the external drive is disconnected. Then connect the external and copy the files from it that were downloaded. Right click on that downloaded package file and select Show contents. In the contents of that package is a file called InstallESD.DMG. Copy that file out of the package and burn it down to a DVD or USB thumb drive and you now have the Full Lion Installer. I have several of them laying around on different hard drives and 2 USB thumb drives which I have used to reinstall Lion on my 15" MBP.
Sorry OP I should of just typed this out in my first post. -
Is there any way we can simplify this update query ?
is there any way we can simplify this update query ? There is nothing wrong with the query ,but it looks so clumsy ...is there any other ways of doing this update like using with clause or exists or any other?

After an auto-update installation this morning a dialog box appeared asking if I want Firefox to return to its default state. I stupidly said yes and now have lost all my Speed Dial thumbnails, URLs, and saved passwords. Is there a way I can undo this to return to the way Firefox was set up and working yesterday?
Thanks for the response. Of course, I did not back up my profile, so I guess I'm going to have to recreate everything.

I no longer have the iTunes that is synced to my iPhone and now I need to update my iPhone with iTunes. Is there a way I can do this without losing all my data? Can I access my iTunes that is on my stolen laptop, so that I don't lose my info and photos etc? Please help!
Hi Michela27,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have content on your iPhone that isn't on your computer, the best thing is to use the advice in this article to transfer it to your new computer before setting up sync:
iTunes: Transferring media from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or iPod

Since the latest update, most of my third party apps no longer work, none of my photo software, torrent programs, open office, NOTHING!! It is most frustrating - is there a way to 'downgrade' and go back to a previous version of the firmware, or am I just stuck with no apps that work?
They just don't open, and i get an error message like this:

I finally dud the update to my iPhone and now it's asking me to plug in to my computer and it shows the iTunes symbol. problem is I don't have a computer only an iPad. Is there any way of getting around that? My phone is not working. I have powered off and when it comes on it's still on the screen. Help??!
No way around this. Your phone has to be restored using a computer running iTunes. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

Hi all my ipod touch has just been stolen, is there any way to stop the person using it by signing into my itunes account. I had not yet downloaded the 'find my ipod' app.
No.
Sorry.
Report it to the police and change your passwords -
Lost pictures during software update. Can I get them back?
Also why do I have to reset my password almost each time I access my apps?Whenever you connect iPhone in iTunes, it syncs and a backup is created. Check backup folder if you have that time-stamped file saved.

Hi, hoopsnut34.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The most common cause for the screen not rotating would be the Screen Rotation Lock button is enabled. Here are the steps on how to disable this feature.

How do I open my old Word documents with Lion
I installed Lion and now I can't open my old Word documents. Any idea how I can do this?
You'll want to get a newer version of Word or Pages so you can open them properly. It's possible to open them with TextEdit, but the formatting is not going to work out very well.
You can download the latest Pages using the App Store icon on the doc (It looks like an A in a blue circle).
You can download the latest Word by purchasing it from microsoft.com/mac
You might get a better deal buying Microsoft Office 2011 from a retail store, but it's nice to get the software immediately if you need it right away.
Lastly, you could also get OpenOffice by going to openoffice.org however it all depends on how much you use Word and whether that program will do what you need Word for. The plus side, is that OpenOffice is free, but the downside is that both Pages and Word provide a more user-friendly environment (in my opinion) and are worth the cost. -
