I'm tired of trying to get MS Office to work on my IMac -

but that's what came installed on this Mac.  How can I access the word processing software designed for the I Mac?  It's on my computer, right?

If you don't have iWork, and you really did mean MS Office, there is a free alternative:
http://porting.openoffice.org/mac/
Windoze users report it not being completely compatible with their fellow workmates MS Office, but this is mostly an I/O 'save-as' issue. Me, I would rather use an older version, because Office 2004 was certainly 'good enough' for g'bment work!

    Sounds like you actually have a 1st generation as those cannot update beyond iOS 3.1.3.

    mono 8 bit 8k is 64kbps, yes. 8 bits times 8,000 = 64,000 = 64k bits/sec.
    And yes I think that's a typo - there's no such thing as 'Mone' that I've ever heard of...
    But you might want to check to find out if this is a mu-law non-linear format, possibly - there are several ways that 8 bit 8k wav files can be encoded, and typically phone systems don't use linear ones. If you have a log-in to Zultys' user-base system they have an FAQ there, I believe - the answer might be in that, and it won't cost $500.

  • I am trying to get my printer to work.

    I am trying to get my printer to work. It is a Canon MP240, it does not show up in the printers menu. Though it is plugged in via USB.

    This printer does have a driver available via Software Update, meaning that when you connect the printer to the Mac via USB cable the driver should be downloaded and installed automatically for you. Of course this will not occur if the Mac cannot detect the printer at the end of the cable. So if you open Print & Scan, select to Add and the MP240 is not shown in the Default Add Printer view then there could be a problem with the USB cable or with the printer.
    To double-check if the printer can be seen by the Mac, open System Information and under the Hardware entry in the sidebar, select USB. Then in the top right pane you will see all the USB connections on your Mac and what is currently connected to them. If the MP240 is not shown, then try moving the cable to a different USB port on the Mac. And don't use a USB hub or the USB port on the keyboard. If moving doesn't help the printer appear under one of the USB busses, then try a different USB cable. If that still doesn't help, turn off the power to the printer and unplug the power cord for 10 minutes before reconnecting and turning it back on.

  • How do I get "Vanishing Point" to work properly on iMac Retina 5k

    How do I get "Vanishing Point" to work properly on iMac Retina 5k? When I "render grid to photoshop" the grid is not in right place and scale. I'm using latest version of CC.

    OMG! What a load of crap and thank you for posting this. I spent 3 solid hours to do something that I have done hundreds of times before, apply a Vanishing Point filter. I kept thinking I had some non-default setting on and was literally screaming at my new iMac. I NEVER thought it would be the cause. It was actually easier to reinstall CS5 on an older Mac and just do the stuff I needed. This is crazy. I fully get why Adobe doesn't support this yet but to not make a huge deal out of it so people know about it is just wrong. When I searched for Vanishing Point on the Forums, this thread showed almost the bottom of the first page. It should be stuck to the top until they fix it.

  • I'm trying to get built-in microphone working on Satellite C850

    Dear Forum
    I am trying to get the built-in microphone working on my C850.
    Nothing is recorded if I use the sound recorder utility.
    In the Recording tab the only microphone listed is a Realtek High definition Audio which is set as the default device, is enabled and mute is off.
    Should this be an internal microphone?
    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    > While researching this I saw screenshots where the microphone was listed as 'Internal Microphone'. In my laptop it is listed as 'Realtek High Definition Audio'. Could my laptop not 'know' that it has a built-in microphone?
    Obviously the notebook supports the Realtek HD audio driver.
    I would recommend you to download and to install the latest Realtek HD audio driver which you could download directly from the Realtek page: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/

  • Trying to get 'External Sample Editor' working.

    Hello,
    I cannot find anything in the manual about changing preferences as to what editor you are using. I found the key command and tried to get DP as my external but once I saw that wasn't going to work I couldn't find any possible way to change my choice of editor. There seems to be no preference or menu that would let you pick a new one. Is my only choice to complete trash prefs and rebuild everything? Not a huge ordeal but tedious none the less.
    Chris

    It's a lot easier than that.
    On my system there is an alias :
    ~/Library/Preferences/Logic/External Sample Editor
    You could try removing the file from it's location or going about the 'select new original method.

    Do you really think people can magically know what your system is? I mean, what do you even expect. You give 1 bit of info (nvida) and expect people to be able to help you. Are you serious?
    Provide at least these: lspci, lshw -C video, lshw -short, glxinfo|grep -i rend, pacman -Qs mesa, pacman -Qs nvidia, pacman -Qi linux, uname -a

  • Beginner trying to get my beans to work with jsp on tomcat

    Please help me open my eyes!
    I know this is a stupid oversight on my part, but I've been working for days on getting other things to work on my tomcat server, so I'm out of ideas on this one.
    I've followed all the tomcat docs instructions on where to put my jsp and bean files and set my classpath to where my beans are located. jsps work fine for me but when I try to run this jsp that uses my CalcBean, I get this and similar internal server errors:
    org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Unable to compile class for JSP
    An error occurred at line: 1 in the jsp file: /jsp/calc/calculate.jsp
    Generated servlet error:
    C:\jakarta-tomcat-4.0\work\Standalone\localhost\research\jsp\calc\calculate$jsp.java:56: Class org.apache.jsp.CalcBean not found.
    CalcBean calc = null;
    ^
    Do I need to register my bean somewhere like web.xml?
    Thanks so much in advance for any help!!

  • Trying to get ricochet mechanics to work, need help!

    Hey, for a project I'm doing, I'm making a ricochet game with Actionscript 2.0, where the player shoots a bullet and it bounces off objects trying to hit the opponent. It's working decently so far, but my problem is I'm having a VERY hard time getting it to work right.  Sometimes when I shoot at a box, the bullet will tunnel through it, bouncing off of invisible walls on its way. I just want the bullet to bounce off of the edge all around, but it is tunneling as I'll show you in a video I uploaded. Here's the code I'm using currently, but it's having this tunneling problem.
    if (bullet_fired.hitTest(boxobject)) {
                    if (bullet_fired._y<=184 || +bullet_fired._y>=214) {
                        bullet_fired.diry *= -1;
                        bounces += 1;
                    }else {
                        bullet_fired.dirx *= -1;
                        bounces += 1;
    where 184 is the top of the box and 214 is the bottom.
    Am i approaching this completely wrong or what am i doing wrong.
    Here's the video I uploaded of me demonstrating my problem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9dwW4_UcFM
    Please help me and give any suggestions you have, I'm pulling my hair out!!

    you're repeatedly satisfying both your hittest and your y constraints when the bullet is shot at a shallow angle.  ie, the y-property of your bullet does not change enough with the initial hit to prevent a 2nd, 3rd etc hit.
    again, to remedy, use:
    if (bullet_fired.hitTest(boxobject)) {
                    if (bullet_fired._y<=184 || +bullet_fired._y>=214) {
                        bullet_fired.diry *= -1;
    bullet_fired._x=previousX;  // you need to define previousX and previousY
    bullet_fired._y=previousY;
                        bounces += 1;
                    }else {
                        bullet_fired.dirx *= -1;
                        bounces += 1;
