I need a common word processor and spreadsheet interface across Mac, iPad, iPhone

An trying Office 365, Google Docs and OpenOffice for software & iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox and WD MyCloud for storage. So far cannot find needed functionality.

What functionality do you need specifically?  No point in suggesting other things, if we don't know why the ones listed do not work for you.

  • How can I convert my Appleworks 6 word processor and spreadsheets files to Pages and Numbers for OS 10.9?

    My disc drive on my 6 year old MacBook died.  I bought an iMac with OS10.9, but it will not allow me to open Appleworks files from my backup drive.  Does anyone know of a method to transfer or open  Appleworks 6 files in Pages or Numbers for OS 10.9?  I need those files.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    > It coped much better with my Draw documents than the older version
    Normally, I have added many functionnalities, retrieving the bitmap, gradient, ... But there remains some problem when a group/frame shares some shapes and a picture or when a shape crosses differents pages, the result can be become bad, ...
    > a number of lines missing on page 3
    I suspect there are here, ie. if you select in page 3 the big gray square with two ellipses and remove it, there seem to reappear ( I do not know why this square insists to hide the other shapes even when I put it in background, ....)
    > the lines are very much thicker than they should be
    All objects are thicker than they should be, mainly because I need to create a embedded Odg for each shapes. This will change in LibreOffice 4.3 because we have added in the parent library of libmwaw, functions to create shapes directly ; at least for line, rectangle, ellipse, probably not for other shapes...
    > I can add that to my page when it gets out of beta, (Perhaps you could announce it in this forum as it is relevant to AW and I don't want to keep checking the LO website.)
    Ok, I will try to add a message when LibreOffice 4.2 will appear ( note: as I only write an extension used in LibreOffice, I also do not keep checking the LO website, I only check now and then that all is working ).

  • OPM support for Word Processors and Spreadsheet Programs other than Microsoft

    Hi,  the Productivity Suite requirements for OPM seem to be Microsoft Word and Excel.
    However, that ties users in to Microsoft products and microsoft appear to be moving down the "Adobe" rent a program scheme with Office 365.  This is an issue for me - reasons which are not relevant to this discussion - and I am now actively seeking alternatives to Microsoft Word and Excel.
    As Oracle bought Sun Microsystems, who themselves acquired StarOffice which supported OpenOffice.org, is there any intention for Oracle to make OPM versions which can use office suites other than Microsoft products?
    If yes, which other office productivity suites are being considered and what is the timescale for the delivery of an OPM release which supports these other office suites please.
    If no, are Oracle concerned that their market is tied in to a product which they have no control over?
    Thanks

    What I was really after was someone from the OPM development team to answer these questions - for me, OPM being tied in to Microsoft products forces me to have to buy / rent Microsoft Office products which is increasingly becoming too restrictive and costly for my business model.
    I'd be interested to hear if Oracles approach is simply
    1. "take it or leave it" either because OPM is too integrated with Word and Excel coding eg parsing, compiling etc for Oracle to unpick how OPM works or
    2. if Oracle believe if you can afford OPM, you should be able to afford Microsoft products too or
    3. Oracle are currently actively developing OPM versions which function with other productivity suites
    Unfortunately, developers are the last people that can comment on these questions. The binding of OPA to Microsoft office is a product decision, not one limited by technology. We can't comment on future directions for the product. A product manager, or marketing are the sort of people that could comment on these sorts of issues.

  • Word processor and/or excel on iPod Touch?

    Hello,
    I'm in the process of purchasing an iPod Touch, but if I do I intend to use it both as an mp3-player and a PDA (what's the point of having wifi on your mp3-player otherwise, huh?)
    In that case, I will need some sort of word-processor and excel-program on it. I normally use Open Office on my laptop.
    I'd like to know:
    - Are there any applications specifically developed for this?
    or
    - Do you know of any programs/applications that can be installed and used, even if they're not primarily designed for the iPod Touch?
    Of course I intend to jailbreak it first.

    Extra info related to this:
    I've now found out that online apps (like google docs, for example) can be used for this purpose, with more or less satisfying results. When app store opens there will also be at least a few different programs for connecting to your home computer and possibly using the programs installed on that.
    For offline use there are presently apps available (developed for iPhone) that are both limited in useability and take up serious amounts of precious memory. Personally, I think they seem rather crappy.
    Until something better comes up through the app store the best choice is probably google docs or similar online services.

    Hello Halfback71,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at:
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5622
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
    Best of luck,

  • Is it possible to save keynotes on a central place so that multople users  on mac/ipad.iphon can always have the latest version and edit this ?

    Is it possible to save keynotes on a central place so that multople users  on mac/ipad.iphon can always have the latest version and edit this ?

    If you mean saving the project files;   iCloud, Dropbox, Skydrive will  do this.
    If you mean the application, then definitely not possible.

  • Need common interface across devices for word processing and spreadsheets with shared files

    Need software for Mac, PC, iPad & iPhone with common word processing interface across devices (spreadsheet as well).
    Need shared access to files through home NAS or cloud.
    Trying MS Office 365, Google Docs & Sheets, OpenOffice,
    Trying iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, WD MyCloud.
    So far each has fatal flaw.
    Suggestions?

    Office, Office for Mac and the Office Apps for iOS  can all read from and write to OneDrive.  You can create folder structures however you want them, and read files from them normally though the Apps.
    You do need an Office 365 subscription for certain editing features on the iPhone Office Apps though.
    As to a backup, from either the PC or the Macbook, you should be able to simply drag and drop your files to the external drive form the OneDrive folder.
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/onedrive/id823766827?mt=12
    You can access your documents from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection. Updates are applied almost immediately. 
    Why did One Drive not work?

  • Need to Verify the Processor and Features on HP Mini 210-3000

    Hi,
    I recently bought an HP mini 210-3000 netbook directly from this HP website. According to what I read here, it's supposed to have GPS capability built into the processor, and come with HP Navigator software. I've looked everywhere on the netbook, and can't find the GPS or Navigator anywhere. I've spent literally hours on the phone and chat with HP, and the support hasn't been very helpful. For example, they ran a chkdsk scan on the netbook in one of the support sessions that I let them take control of the netbook. Chkdsk? What does that have to do with GPS? Perhaps someone can explain this.
    Anyway, I need a way to independently verify whether or not these features actually are on my netbook, and, if they are, how to access and configure them. My order receipt say that the processor is an "Intel(R) Atom(TM) Processor N455 (1.66GHz, 512KB L2 + Intel(R) Graphics Media Accelerator 3150." This info is copied directly from my receipt.
    So the way it's been left as of Tuesday aftenoon is that I was told that HP needs to do further research, and that I won't have an answer for one or two days. If they can't help me, I'm really stuck b/c I need the netbook to be working on Friday.
    Can anyone help me query the netbook to find out if this is indeed processor I have, and then to find out if the GPS and Navigator are embedded?
    Also, can someone help me verify that 210-3000 is a valid HP model number?. Most other listings for the 210 netbook that I have seen have letters after the 3000, like Mini 210-3000 XXX XX, and mine doesn't. I also don't find the model number 3000, but only model numbers like 300x or 30xx. The 3000 seems to indicate the series number, and not refer to a specific model number.
    I do want to say that I'm not very technical, but my would appreciate any info anyone might be able to provide, even if it is technical. I'll do my best to sort it out.
    I also want to say to anyone from HP who might be monitoring this forum, that I am very, very disappointed in the support I've received :-(, and I need to get this resolved by the weekend for a special project that I can't postpone. Can you assist me, or tell me where to go for assistance?
    Can anyone help?
    Regards,
    Jaina

    I cannot find specs for that specific model but did find this page, does not look like it has GPS,

    Look in Device Manager to see what hardware is listed.

  • Need a decent word processor

    hello i need a FREE decent word processor ONLY. Not neo office because i can't upgrade. All i need is a good word processor that is free. I might be asking a lot but i don't know. I'm an "intermediate" mac user. But i don't know much about what kind of free apps are out there.

    Hi Again calebsrichards!
    When purchasing from eBay, you have no guarantee, that the discs are for the exact model of your particular Mac.
    If you call Apple Customer Service, not Apple Technical Support, you may be able to order replacement original system install discs, for a fee.
    Be prepared to furnish all pertinent data about the Mac.
    Such as serial number, Hard Drive size, processor speed, display size, etc.

  • How can I copy Word Document and save them in my iPad?

    Hi,  I just recieved my iPad 3 today. I've never used the Apple format before.  All of my recipes are in Microsoft Word all neatly organized, there are many... I mean a lifetime of them and I'm old!  I bought the iPad to use it in the kitchen and for the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to transfer my Word files to my iPad and put them in a document folder.  Can anyone help?  I sure would appreiciate it. 

    There are no document folders in the iPad. Files and documents are saved within the app that is used to create, edit and view the corresponding files. You need an app that can read and edit Word files and you will be able to save the files within that app.
    You can email files, use DropBox or another cloud service, use iOS file sharing or use iCloud - if you use one of the Apple iWorks apps - in this case it would be Pages.
    There are MS Office compatible apps available in the app store like Quick Office Pro and Documents to Go. Take a look at those and see what you think.
    This is a link to Apple's word processing app - Pages

  • I currently use Snow Leopard and Microsoft Word, Excel and Entourage o my Mac.  If I upgrade to Mavericks, can I still use those applications?

    I currently use Snow Leopard with Microsoft Word, Excel and Entourage on my iMac.  If I upgrade to Mavericks, can I still use those applications?

    If the Microsoft Office is 2004 then no.
    Mavericks System requirements.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5842
    Note I would recommend a minimum of 4GB RAM.
    You need to check all you software and hardware including any peripherlas you use, printers etc that they are compatible with Mavericks.
    Any software that is PPC and uses Rossetta will not work with any OS X verson later than 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.
    If you decide to upgrade have a tested backup of your current system in case of problems and you could return the computer to its previous configuration.

  • Editing a word document and reading on a Mac

    Using Document to Go, I edited a word document and saved the document.  I then sent this edited document to a friend who has a Mac using the new Snow Leopard operating system - he could not open the edited document, but could open the unedited, original document.  What can be done with this problem?

    dataviz website did not give me any assistance.  File extension is file name plus .doc.  There does not appear to be any way on the Blackberry Word to Go application area to change file extensions.  Could the problem be due to the Snow Leapord OS not understanding Word to Go?

  • Help....duplications of ical events on iPhone and only syncing from mac to iPhone?

    Hi,
    Has anyone got any suggestions for fixing this problem.....
    My iPhone syncs with my Mac perfectly via iTunes apart from iCal, which is giving me real grief! iCal on my mac is in perfect order and syncs events to my phone but my phone has duplicate and triplicate events and even events in different states of being edited. The iphone doesnt sync events made in it back to the mac either.
    It syncs contacts etc. fine, just not iCal events.
    Is there an easy way of fixing this or even totally reseting iCal on the Mac and iPhone so it clears this up? (obviously, I need to keep my calendar events though)
    I've tried replacing the info on the phone, reseting the phone, changing to iCloud syncing and back again and I even upgraded to the iPhone 5 (which I was going to do anyway )
    I'm using Mac OS X 10.6.8, iCal 4.0.4, iTunes 11.0.2 and I was on an iPhone 4 and now iPhone 5. It's been happening for two months now and it's getting really frustrating!
    Thanks for any help in advance

    This fixed my problem - finally!!

  • Can i share my videos and/or music between macbook, iPad, iPhone, and apple tv?

    currently the only thing i know how to do is play videos from my macbook iTunes onto my apple tv.  id like to be able to watch/listen to this content on my iPad and iPhone also,without using airdrop....id like to share, not transfer, necessarily.  id like to it play both purchased and files downloaded from other sources.  are there some settings to be able to accomplish this or maybe a 3rd party app i could download?  any advice would be appreciated.  thank you.
    m

    If the music and videos are in your Mac's iTunes library then you should be able to use home sharing to access them in the Videos and Music apps on your iPad and/or iPhone.
    If you have the same account enabled in home sharing on your Mac's iTunes (File > Home Sharing menu option) and on your iPad or iPhone (Settings > Music >Home Sharing or Settings > Videos > Home Sharing), they are connected to the same wifi network, and iTunes on your Mac is open, then you should get a Shared option in the Music and Videos apps on the device (top right of the Videos app ; possibly via the More button bottom right of the Music app)
