I'm on a Mac and I need to fill out govt. special event permits and most are in .pdf format.

When I change the docs into docx there are always a few items off. I have the basic Adobe service - is there a service where I can actually work in the pdf format? Is this an upgrade?

No service for what you describe.
Rather you would purchase, install and use Acrobat.
However, PDF forms can be processed (filled in) with Adobe Reader XI.
(Note - PDF FORMS -- those made with Acrobat which are "acroforms" or those made with Adobe LiveCycle Designer - which make up a lot of the government inventory of forms (these are "xfa" forms - xml wrapped in PDF - sort of a "pig in a blanket").
On any apple platform you have to keep the apple default PDF viewer (preview) away of all PDFs always. This application is "PDF hostile" for PDF forms.
Be well...

I need to find out how much wifi data my apps are using. I have a very limited amount of wifi data, and I am exceeding my monthly allowance. Apparently, even apps I think are not open are sending/receiving data through the wifi and using up my allowance.

I need to find out how much wifi data my apps are using. I am on a very limited amount of WiFi data each month, which I am regularly exceeding. I have been told to work out which of my apps is using the data. Also, I think I have closed an app by double clicking the home button, then swiping the app up - is this the way to close it, or will it still be sending/receiving data?

Go into your Settings : General : and turn off background refresh for your apps. In Settings : Mail turn Fetch new data to OFF and Load Remote Images to OFF. This will mean that Mail will only check for messages when you actually use it, and all your advertising junk mail won't have all the images in it.
Turn off push notifications every chance you get.
Make sure you are actually quitting apps: to quit apps press the Home button twice and you should see a bunch of smaller screen images for every open app. To quit the app swipe from the screen image (not the icon) upward off the top of the iPad. You can swipe left and right to see more open apps, but there must be no left-right movement on the screen when you swipe upward to close the app.
Turn off your internet connection when you do not need it. The easiest way to do this is to swipe up from the bottom of you screen to get the control centre, and then touch the airplane to turn on airplane mode. You can repeat this sequence to turn it back on again when you need it. Most especially turn airplane mode on whenever you are sleeping your iPad for long periods. This will save battery life too. OR actually turn your iPad off - which means holding the power key down for several seconds until the red swipe bar appears, and then swipe to turn it off. If you go this route, note that it will take longer to turn on then it takes to wake from sleep.

HT4527 How can move the apps and playlists on my iPad to my Mac? Whenever I attempt to sync, I get a message stating that all apps and music on my iPad will be replaced by content from my Mac and there are no content. Thanks.

the apps will not be deleted if the itunes is authorised for the apple id from which you downloaded the apps.
for the songs if you have downloaded it from a store other than itunes an app "TuneAid" will help you. download the full version then you can copy all the songs on the ipad to ur itunes library

HT1390 It takes hours to download a movie either on Apple TV or Mac and most of the time doesn't download at all. To me it is a bad app and I think I'll stick to Netflix or Xfinity

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
Netfix uses adaptive streaming, if you have a slow connection it will reduce the quality of the video, iTunes ensures you get the quality you pay for.

What do I need to fill out a form created in JetForm?

I receive a form that I need to fill out, save and send back. The problem is the form sent to me is a JetForm. What software/designer do I need to just fill out these forms? Are there any free downloads?
Thank you

Since Adobe acquired Accelio, formerly JetForms, in April of 2002, I am surprised the form has not been revised using Adobe's LiveCycle Designer.
If the form has a file type of PDF then form could be filled out and printed by Adobe Reader. If you need to save the form, the author would have had to apply Extended Form Rights with a more current version of Acrobat.

I just found that I have 180,000 photos...and most are random web images and thumbnails?..

So my wife opens the mac and iPhoto is up and locked in the dreaded spin, in looking I see 180k photos in the events, and most are of the same web images.
Why?
How do I prevent this?
Can I just delete them?

The best solution is - as Larry says - restoring from back up. This can happen when the HD icon, or a System icon is inadvertently dragged to the iPhoto icon or window.
If you've trashed 172k items at one o then you've likely trashed the database file.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

TS1646 We have several apple devices in our family who use my debit card for itune charges. I need to find out which device (itune account) these charges are coming from. Can you help?

We have several apple devices in our family who use my debit card for itune charges. I need to find out which device (itune account) these charges are coming from. Can you help?

You can't tell which device a purhcase was made on, but if your family members each have their own iTunes account to which your card is linked then you can check the purchase history on each of those accounts via the Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes - that should have 'purchase history' section with a 'see all' link to the right of it

Indesign CC for Mac and PC are not the same?

I have creative cloud on a Mac and a PC. I cannot open the Mac Indesign files on the PC and it's frustrating. The whole point of getting Adobe CC was to be able to work on both platforms. The Mac version of Indesign is showing as 9.2.1 and the PC version is showing as 8.0.2. If you're never going to get the PC version the same, how can I revert the Mac back down to 8.0.2 so the files will be interchangeable?

I just saw where CC is only available for Windows 7 and higher and I am NOT upgrading XP so CS6 is all I can have on the PC. I'm downloading CS6 for the Mac now, so from now on my files should work on both.

My Mac and iPad are not syncing. what am I doing wrong?

my mac mini and ipad are not syncing with the icloud. If I plug the ipad into the computer it syncs calendar info from the computer to the ipad, but not the ipad to the computer. i want it to sync without having to plug it in.

Have you setup iCloud as described here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
If so, follow these troubleshooting articles:
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Bookmarks
iCloud: Troubleshooting iCloud Reminders and Tasks

ICal on Mac and iPhone are hours apart!!!!

If anyone can help me with this very inconvenient matter.
My iCal events on my mac are always 10 hours ahead.
Both my Mac have the correct date and time set, and they both are set in the same time zone!
Thanks in advance.
Martin

Hi Martin,
Are you using MobileMe? Are you syncing the events to the iPhone through iTunes or pushing them over the air with MobileMe?
If you are using MobileMe you can set the Time Zone online at http://www.me.com/calendar/ click the Gear> Preferences> Advanced.
Try turning off Time Zone Support on the iPhone, tap Settings> Mail, Contacts, Calendars> Time Zone Support, off.
Did that change the time on the events?
If you are not using MobileMe or that does not resolve the issue, try the tips below.
If the Time Zone Support is on in iCal, try disabling it. Go to iCal>Preferences> Advanced> uncheck Turn on time zone support. You can change Time Zones of events in iCal as described in the iCal help article: "Changing the time zone for an event"
If the issue persists try resetting the sync history as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA23030 and then syncing the calendar events to the iPhone again.

IMessage Mac and iPhone are suddenly different

I had them niclely sinced and received the same message on both devices.
However, I had to change my password and after I logged both back in with the new password they are different.
If I message by phone I only get answer back via phone and vise versa. The other person sees both of my message (Mac and Phone) as different user (though same name).
How can I fix this?

Hi,
Most commonly this seems to be caused by a Message or two not being cleared from the iOS device prior to Syncing.
Messages then get divided between the Phone Number and the Apple ID in use and only one of them will sync (usually the Apple ID that is also used in Messages beta.)

Need help filling out pdf forms on iPad

Adobe Reader (11.0.1) on my iPad2 (iOS 6.1.3) is not letting me fill out a form (just a bunch of text fields) that was created with Acrobat 8 Pro/LiveCycle. The form can be filled out fine with Reader 11.x on my WinXP desktop though. Any ideas?

No, you'll be just the same.
You need to not use LiveCycle Designer, but make the form in Adobe Acrobat. Everything you know about making forms in LiveCycle Designer will not help you at all.
These are a different kind of form, made differently, and with different features (e.g. they are always static in layout).
Also, you start with an existing PDF (not a form) for all the background and fixed text, then just add fields.
There are other things to do like avoid JavaScript. Start with very simple forms and test features, there doesn't seem to be a comprehensive list.

Need to fill out PDF forms

Does anyone have a good app for filling out PDF forms? I used Acrobat Pro in Windows, but then my employer supplied it for me. I'm not going to pay $300 to fill out PDF forms. I tried it in Preview, as people say that works, but I can't get it to work. The forms I have to fill out that are supplied by my employer won't accept editing in Preview. They work fine in Acrobat Pro in Windows. I also tried formulate.pro, but I couldn't save the form back to PDF, only to a propietary format. Not useful for sharing these forms with colleagues. Is there a solution to this problem? Thanks.

I know about that. Unfortunately, the form can no longer be modified once you do that. (According to others who have tried it.) I know it's a pretty nit-picky list of requirements I have, but I work in a very Windows-centric, Mac-hostile workplace (even though a sizeable minority of people here use Macs). I've been using a Mac since 2004, and it's been a battle to solve one problem after another: web pages that only render "properly" in IE, web applications that only work "properly" in IE, a voice messaging system that is Mac-hostile, and most recently this business with the forms. My solution has usually been "if it doesn't work in Firefox or Safari, then it doesn't work." Unfortunately, I don't have that option with these forms. More and more of what I have to do must be done either online or at least digitally, and yet we are generating more paper than ever! And no one who is responsible for creating/purchasing the apps to do all these things seems even to know about the existence of any OS other than Windows. Sorry about the rant, but that is the world at Coastal Carolina University!
