Indent Lengths Between Pages for Mac and iOS

I've been using Pages on my iPad a lot for classes. During lectures, I type outlines in a blank document and quickly switch between headings and subheadings with the "indent increase" and "indent decrease" buttons in the toolbar (looking at the ruler, it seems like the default indent length is a little more than half an inch - maybe 1.5cm?).
The problem is that when I later open the document via iCloud in Pages on my iMac, the indent lengths become readjusted so that each indentation takes up 1.8 inches (so 3.6 inches for a double indent, 5.4 for a triple, etc.). Short of highlighting each line and manually changing the indent length in the inspector, I haven't found a way to fix this change. Further, if I make any other changes to the document in Mac Pages, that 1.8 inch indent length carries over to iOS Pages. When I then try to open the document in iOS, I get:
"This document may look different on your iOS device than on your Mac. Use Open Copy if you want to preserve the original." [Open Copy] [Open]
Not wanting a duplicate, I'll choose [Open], and I found I could quickly restore the 1.5cm length by selecting all text, going to list settings and selecting "None" (as opposed to "Bullet," "Image,' etc.). But the next time I try to open the document in Mac Pages, the cycle repeats.
Am I missing some obvious way of keeping these indents consistent across devices, or do I just need to deal with this reformatting each time?
(newest versions of desktop/mobile Pages are running on Mountain Lion and iOS 6)

How do I set up pages for mac and ipad to share a document and keep them synced.

How do I set up pages for mac and ipad to share a document and keep them synced.

You can upload them from Mac to iCloud and then download on the iPad. They only directly sync between iOS devices. The Mac version of Pages has more options that are not available on iOS. If you use a font that is not available on iOS it will change the font. Some layout options aren't available either.

Why are the themes in Keynote for Mac and iOS still so different?

Hi guys,
I love Keynote for Mac and I would love to love Keynote for iPad, but as you all know there are many shortcomings. One thing I just can't grasp why Apple still makes the basic themes so different between the two platforms. For the last years I always used Gradient theme on the Mac for my presentations. Whenever I want to play a presentation on the iPad I get the usual warnings (although I basically never use anything fancy in my presentations). Obviosly this is annoying, but what I don't get at all:
1. Why do they use as a standard for the same theme different fonts and font sizes (Gill Sans 42pt on Mac vs. Helvetica 38 pt on iPad)
2. Why does Keynote has a inconsistent behaviour between Mac and iPad in the most simple functions??
- When I add a few bullet points on the Mac the font size is not changed but you get an indicator (plus sign) at the bottom of your text box to tell you that you ran out of space
- When I do the same on the iPad the font size gets adjusted automatically to fit in the text box.
I am not expecting that every little fancy things translates perfectly between Mac and iPad but that those most simple things are inconsistent is very irritating.
Well, that actually feels better now that is off my chest
What do you guys think about that??

Differences between CC for Mac and CC for Windows

Hello,
I just read here in the forum that possibilities regarding app-making in InDesign are limited when you are a Windows user. Seems like the "Create App"-possibility is for mac users only. Terry White made a very good video about app-making, but failed to mention that you needed not only CC (or CS6), but also a Mac.
Be that as it may, I would like to know if there is a list somewhere, describing in detail the differences between possibilities and options on CC for Windows compared to CC on a Mac.
And - if there is no list, can anyone tell me the differences?
Regards,
MikHva

Thanks for the answer. I can see that I messed up formulating the last entry - what we are about to do is upgrade from CS6 to CC.
Maybe you could help me with a related question. The last few days I have been searching for alternatives to builing my apps in InDesign, and I turned to Dreamweaver. I copied the CSS from InDesign to dreamweaver, fixed the content and made my app work through my 1 phonegap build-project (the InDesign version looked better, though) - but getting on fra Dreamweaver to Android and iOS involves Phonegap.
I can see that Adobe has developed the Adobe Phonegap Build. Is that a program (app) that I can acces after subscribing to the Creative Cloud? A friend of mine has the CC-version and I asked if she had acces to install Adobe Phonegap Build, but it was not on her list of programs to install.
- As things look right now we might be going for a Pro or Enterprise version - but I haven't figured out the difference between the two yet - I've been busy with Dreamweaver.
Sincerely and with thanks,
MikHva

Why would a font appear different between Ppt for mac and mail? specifically the lower case "v"... spelled in a sequence

I am using the Hipster Pro font... and when I use it in ppt for MAC, Evana-- the v in Evana has a swoop that extends outside and in mail it doesn't.
I'm not sure why this discrepancy exists as my logo doesn't have it and its causing me problems.
When I try and do a cut/paster for this box it changes it too.

Jeff is right about the two options for inserting a fonts character - but Most Importantly - he is also right in his statement (in agreement with mine) that if the audience machine does not have the font installed they will not see "Hipster Script Pro"
Here's what ya do - make it a "PICTURE" and insert it inline, just like we do here. If this Simple Editor can display it, you should be Golden.

What is difference between Numbers for Mac and for iPod Touch?

Trying to decide pros/cons of getting Numbers for my iMac vs. just for my iPod Touch? Obviously, one is cheaper than the other. Dumb question, but I guess I cannot use Numbers downloaded from App Store on my iMac; just on my iPod Touch? And, can I just buy Numbers for iMac; seems only option is to buy as part of package under iWorks (don't need Pages or Keynote for the home).

(1) Numbers for iOS and Numbers for OSX are completely different products building files using the same format.
(2) You may buy Numbers as a single application thru Mac App Store. The application Mac App Store is delivered with Lion.

Apple recommended antivirus protection programs for Mac and IOS

Recommended antivirus software for windows 8 and mac

1. This comment applies to malicious software ("malware") that's installed unwittingly by the victim of a network attack. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. OS X security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is presumably effective against known attacks, but maybe not against unknown attacks. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. XProtect, Gatekeeper, and MRT reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
That means, in practice, that you never use software that comes from an untrustworthy source, or that does something inherently untrustworthy. How do you know what is trustworthy?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is untrustworthy.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily harmful.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe.
Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Follow the above guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself from malware.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. Any database of known threats is always going to be out of date. Most of the danger is from unknown threats. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav— nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. ClamXav doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
ClamXav is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
ClamXav may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use ClamXav unless a network administrator requires you to run an anti-virus application.
9. The greatest harm done by security software, in my opinion, is in its effect on human behavior. It does little or nothing to protect people from emerging "zero-day" threats, but if they get a false sense of security from it, they may feel free to do things that expose them to higher risk. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.
10. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.

Contact card format incompatibility between Outlook for Mac and Mac contacts

Seems that Mac Office 2011 Outlook contacts no longer directly sync with iPhone, I use a manual process of dragging the vcf file from my Outlook contacts list to a desktop folder and then dragging the contact from that folder to my Mac Contacts file. Even though Mac contacts file accepts the file, sometimes information is missing and the contact data won't go to the icloud and thence post to my iPhone. It's as if the .vcf format from Outlook isn't a match for the .vcf file format that Mac Contacts expects. Many times I have to manually copy the contact data from the outlook contact into a new contact file in Mac Contacts to get that contact to sync across iCloud to my iPhone. Can anyone tell me what the problem might be?

Hello,

Seamlessly switching between iTunes for Mac and Windows

The path on a Windows machine to my iTunes is something like N:\My Music, where N is mapped as a network drive. On a Mac, that same Drive N is mapped as “fireserver” on the server machine. So on iTunes for the Mac, it would have to be //servername/fireserver/My Music or something along those lines.
Here’s the problem. The iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.xml are the files in Windows that store the information regarding which iTunes music is there, as well as the playlists and their contents. Therefore, if I move from one machine to another, as long as each has the server’s drive mapped as N, I can copy those two files from one machine to the other and it serves two purposes. First, it is a backup of sorts of my iTunes library. Second, I don’t have to update the information on two computers but rather one, and then copy the files to have an identical library, including playlists.
I would like to sync my iPhone and iPod(s) with my Mac, but I have a Windows machine, and need to continue to use that Windows machine to do other things with iTunes, such as port music to the backyard of my house. I don’t know how to keep the two iTunes libraries in sync since the xml and itl files refer to files and folders within N:\My Music. Even if I laboriously edited those files and did a global replace, that would be a one shot deal, and thereafter, I would have to update on the Windows side and on the Mac side.
So here is the question. Is there a way that I can set up my Mac so that when I refer to N: it knows that I mean //servername/fireserver (I’m not sure if I have the syntax right, but I think I’m getting my point across)? In this way, the files would point to N:\whatever and the computer would know that I mean //servername/fireserver/whatever.
This would solve a major problem for me.
Thanks in advance!

I have been really surprised by the lack of responses to this post. I'm thinking, this is such a typical thing that people would want to do - sharing their music with friends and family - I can't be the first to have the problem. Plus, I've always received such quick, expert advice on this forum to other questions since buying my Mac a couple of months ago.
But now I'm wondering whether there is something else going on that precludes the resident experts from answering. Is sharing music as I've described illegal? Maybe that's why everybody's keeping quiet, i.e., if you tell me how to share my songs with a friend then you're assisting in copyright infringement.
I didn't think it was illegal to share music with a friend in this way, as long as the songs you've downloaded from iTunes aren't shared on more than four devices or whatever. If it is illegal I'd sure like to know. That would also explain the radio silence.
Thanks.

Keeping Gmail email addresss and using Outlook 2011 for Mac and Exchange

Hi,
we use gmail for email at present with Outlook on a Mac. Having found that contacts and calendars cannot be synched between Oulook for Mac and Gmail I want to use exchange as a means of getting this sync working between my iPhne, iPad and OSX calendar and
contacts.
We actually want to continue with our gmail addresses (because it's too painful to change to anything else). I understand that gmail can forward messages to Exchange and presumably to be read in Outlook for Mac. How do we use Outlook for Mac and Exchange
to send emails such that they are sent using our gmail email address.
I.e people are not aware of what is going on in the background - they sent to our gmail address and receive a reply from the gmail address
Many thanks
Mike

Good luck with that.
You're not going to like this answer, but you should let Exchange be your e-mail system. Move off Gmail to Exchange on-premises or Online.

Is there a Pages for MAC OS 10.7.x? If not, what is the alternative? Concrete issue is that I have received a .pages document and need to edit. Many thanks

Is there a Pages for MAC OS 10.7.x?
If not, what is the alternative?
Concrete issue is that I have received a ".pages" document and need to edit. I am running Mac Pro with OS X 10.7.
Many thanks

It is important that you determine if the .pages document originated from Pages ’08, Pages ’09, Pages v1.7.2 (IOS 6), or was exported as Pages ’09 from Pages v5+ on OS X Mavericks. If it meets one of these criteria, then you can edit the .pages document on your Lion machine with Pages ’09 from the iWork ’09 DVD. Pages documents can not be opened with TextEdit, but can be viewed with Preview.
On the otherhand, if the .pages document was created with Pages for iCloud beta, Pages v2.2.1 (IOS 7), or Pages v5+ on Mavericks, then your only recourse is to edit the document with Pages for iCloud beta. Since Fall 2013, Apple changed the .pages document format into something even more malevolently proprietary. Apple word processing products since this timeframe, are subsets of the Pages ’09 features/functionality, and will filter out content they do not support.
A Pages ’09 document is usually a compressed (zip) folder archive that looks like a regular file to the Finder. The newer Pages family of products only write out a package that to the Finder, also appears to be a regular file, but in reality it is a folder. The newer Pages documents must be zipped before placed on non-Apple filesystems.

If i buy Pages, Keynote, or Numbers do i have to buy for MAC and iPad??

if i buy Pages, Keynote, or Numbers do i have to buy for MAC and iPad??

Hi Rico,
If you want the apps on both of them, then yes. Mac apps and IOS apps are separate animals, so unlike purchasing an app for an iPhone and having it available for your iPad (because they are both IOS devices), you need both the IOS version and the OSX version in order to run them on both your iPad and your Mac.
Cheers,
