There is no version of Excel for iPads. iPads come with something that lets you view the contents of Excel files but it implements only the common easy features and there are (literally) hundreds of things you can do in Excel that it doesn't know how to show on the screen, including some functions.
If you intend to work with spreadsheets on an iPad I suggest you buy Numbers for iPad
http://www.apple.com/apps/iwork/numbers/
which understands more (but still not 100%) of the things that Excel does. It is so cheap that you can probably afford to buy a copy just to see whether it does what you want.
If you are doing things with spreadsheets and intend to be primarily working on iPads then I suggest you actually use Numbers on a Mac as well, rather than using Excel at all.

Virtual PC 7 any good?

Hi there, I am in the process of purchasing new workstations and server for our office (replacing our whole network). There are 2 schools of thought, that we should go all Mac or all PC. The all Mac side is just me! Right now we have a horrible mixed network architecture and really old machines. I want to keep things as clean, simple and robust as possible.
The Mac network would consist of 2-3 workstations running the latest version of OS X and a server running OS X Server v10.4. The WSs would have to use Virtual PC in order to run the accounting sw package. My question is this - is it any good? Does one have to start the VPC before starting the windows sw. Where would the program files physically reside on the hard disk? Can you create aliases for these to put on the 'desktop'? I had some mixed experiences running 10.4.x on an old G4 (which had a hw problem with the processor or one of the boards) and OS 9 emulator, as it kept crashing all the time. The machine later totally died anyway, so the problems may well have arisen from this hw issue. I guess I'd have to wait for Microsoft Office 2008 to come out and use OpenOffice in the interim (we have some nasty formatted sales documents and leaflets that won't work very well in OpenOffice).
If we were to buy PCs, then we were looking at using either W*ndows V*sta Business/Ultimate or W*ndows XP Professional on the workstations, and putting ubuntu linux on the server. I am a bit concerned about all the aggravation that I might get re anti-virus sw and anti-spyware, as one has to keep removing this constantly with PCs. I also don't like giving money to Microsoft lol
Any thoughts or experiences would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
Best
Pat

New Macs can't run VirtualPC at all. So if one of the new machines is a Mac, you'll want to get Boot Camp, VMWare, Parallels, or one of the Intel Mac solutions on my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
VirtualPC is designed for use on your G5, and is no longer supported, but should work fine for any accounting package. The place where VirtualPC falls down is when you have insufficient RAM or hard disk space allocated to it for the version of Windows you use, which you'll also see in my FAQ above.
You may even find CrossOver on a new Mac can run your accounting package without installing any Windows whatsoever, and be more secure.
Or you may find a version of an accounting package for the Mac that will run your accounting data without installing any Windows software on your Mac. See alternatives to OpenOffice on my FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/crossplatform.html
One can create aliases on the desktop for VirtualPC, though VirtualPC's software has to start up on its own. Boot Camp is a separate boot software
Note: Intel is not G5, and rather is IBM. So that's a distinction you should make. All new Macs are Intel. Your profile says you have G5s which are now a generation older than what is out there.
Viruses are almost unheard of on the Mac, and most people won't ever see a virus, unless they have to run Windows on the Mac. Your best bet is to tell that to your CIO, and tell them they'd have much lower support costs getting an all Mac network, as no anti-virus installations will be necessary and Macs for the most part just run. This FAQ page goes over those costs:

Can anyone recommend any good books on leaning actionscript for flash?

Can anyone recommend any good books on leaning actionscript
for flash?
Intermediate level
I have been using flash for about 2 years more as a hobby
than anything else, some websites etc but now I realise I am going
to need to learn more actionscripting to do what I want, I have
come to terms with the simple stuff like goto – basic
variables – load mov – enough to programme up website
navigation.
I ideally want to learn more about the dynamic side of flash,
mostly for designing user interfaces and websites etc
I’m after a book that doesn’t get too heavy too
fast yet I’m a little past the more basic functions
Any thoughts?
Cheers

Seen any good SIP/phone App reviews? fring/nimbuzz/acrobits/bria/Skype/tru/

Best phone App? SIP (fring v nimbuzz v acrobits v Bria v iStarSip/Wifone/F-Route/iPico/NetDial...) v Skype v Tru
I'm trying to use an iPod touch as my main phone, using a MiFi 2200 to provide connectivity wherever.
Anyone seen any good SIP/phone App reviews?
I'm looking for the best SIP app out there. Willing to pay, but want good value. (E.g. Acrobits w/G.729a for $17 one-time is a leading contender.)
I can't find much info on the SIP apps available. I haven't jailbroken my iTouch, but I'd be willing to to get the best SIP app.
Anything with all or most of this:
Caller ID?
Automatically switch codec based on WiFi network name? (e.g. MiFi vs home network).
Support more than one SIP login at a time. (E.g. one for incoming, one for outgoing?) (Equivalent: route different calls via different VoIP providers.)
Fewer transcoding steps? I think this is why fring voice quality is not great; it transcodes SIP.
Better fidelity? (MUST be demonstrated, and replicable.)
Good at maintaining a connection/restoring one that goes down?
I have fring working with sipgate SIP.
I have Skype working (I haven't tried/paid for skypein or skypeout.)
I have $10 in Gizmo5 credit but Gizmo5 with fring is unusable; it almost never works.
Acrobits Softphone is available from the App Store for $7; additional features are available via in-app purchase including G.729 Annex A audio codec support ($10) and encrypted ZRTP outgoing call support ($25).
Nimbuzz: Can run in background for ringing and while talking. Haven't tried.
truphone: 2.1c/min? 1000 min/mo is $21/mo; not reasonable.

Heard any good asm/nasm tutorials lately?

i'm taking a programming languages class with a great professor but my first assembler program (currently working on) is with function pointers and calling C/C++ functions from assembler. i feel like i've missed out on learning the "dumb" stuff, and for once was wondering if anyone knew a good, comprehensive assembler tutorial that touches on the silly little stuff i might have overlooked, specifically using nasm (what my later courses will also use). i've tried searching myself, but the best i could come up with is learning assembler for linux after already being experienced in assembler w/ dos (useless for me).
if not anything online, any good suggestions for books?

Call of duty world at war : Nazie zombies Any good ?!

Call of duty world at war : Nazie zombies Any good ?! Would u recomend it ?

I am just getting used to the trial version for my Ipod, but so far I love it. It is obviously a different experience than the PS3. But if you're addicted, you can take care of your zombie jones with the box, a variety of weapons including the raygun and three rounds on the trial version for free.

Unwanted Ipod linux thing

Okay... so my friend installed ipod linux on MY ipod. now i cant access the regular ipod menu options. I have tried to use the ipod updater (the one from 7/15/2004 because there is NO DOWNLOAD symbol for the new update on the website!!!) It says that it cant lock the ipod so it cant do anything with it. I took it to my buddies house, and he tried to update it and it just went through the updater with no change. How do i get the original ipod firmware back???? Oh yeah, and my 1- year warranty ran out like 2 months ago. When I turn on the ipod, I get the apple logo that switches to a exclamation mark and folder that says "www.apple.com/support/ipod" under it. If i hold the back button, it takes me to the ipod linux menu. This is very annoying, and I want to get my ipod back to the way it originally was and i dont care if it requires that i delete all my music. (Oh, and when i click the ipod liux icon, it comes up with a windows error message that says something like "path cannot be found..." PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Whoa, with friends like that ....
Can you restore the iPod to original factory settings? I'm not sure it will work if you can't use the iPod updater, but check out Restoring iPod to Factory Settings. Good luck! And keep your pals away from your precious iPod!

Any good video converter programs?

i was wondering if anyone knew of any good video converting programs to convert from different file formats, such as .mov to mp4, avi to mpeg, etc., where u can specify the final outputted file size. for example, ive used handbrake to convert my dvd's for my ipod and it allowed me to specify how big i wanted the video file to be at the end. is there anything like this, but not for dvd's? thanks for any help!

it's a funny name.
I want to thank you for using that screen name. makes me giggle every time you post.
Compressor really is a powerful application and can create beautiful files. But you really need to know what you're doing or you can adjust the wrong setting and create something really ugly.
QuickTime Pro is a little more user friendly. Not as many options, but it can do quite a bit.
Sorenson Squeeze is another good one. I used to use it all the time on the PC, but since I've figured out Compressor, I rarely open it.

Any good cases?

I've had my Ipod for about a wekk now and iy's scratched realy. So do you guys know any good cases? Something that will prtotect it if I drop it, but still looks good.
I have a Black Ipod Video.

If it is mainly the scratching you are concerned about you cannot go wrong with Martin Overlays. I bought one for my husband's and my ipod and we couldn't be happier. You can't tell they are on. They leave no residue and they are removeable and re-usable. I have had mine on for a few weeks and you can't see any scratches or even a smudge.
I recently added a leather case for extra padding and though it is a snug fit on my 60gb it would fit great with your 30gb even with the Overlay attached. I bought the Belkin case that acts as a stand when you want to watch videos. It offers some pretty good additional protection and now it will be easier to watch movies on the airplane.

80GB ipod Classic not showing any Music loaded on it

I have an 80GB Classic Model No A1238. Suddenly the ipod has stopped showing any playlist or music that was there on it. But the ipod shows 56.4gb used and 17.9GB Free which means it still has the data but in the summary it shows Songs 0, Videos 0, Podcast 0 etc... How can i recover the music and make it appear ? Will i have to restore the ipod or there is a way recover ? Please help.

Sounds like the iPod's file system and databases have been corrupted possibly due to a damaged/failing hard drive or failed sync operating with iTunes. So yes, the only way to try and recover is to restore the iPod to factory settings.

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

My ipod won't sync any of the music i downloaded and says that iTunes can't backup the Ipod because a session couldn't be started with the Ipod how do i fix this

My ipod won't sync any thing in my iTunes library it always stop as soon as it starts backingup the Ipod a message appears that says iTunes cannot backup the Ipod "my Ipod" because a session couldn't be started withthe Ipod how do i fix this problem?
This is exactly what the message says: iTunes could not back up the iPod "austins ipod" because a session could not be started with the iPod.

Try connecting your ipod to another computer and sync only 1 file or song just for isolation purpose only to see if it'll sync.
If still not syncing, then porbably you may have a bad iOS installed in iPod which is hard to see if it has a problem because you said nothing's wrong with iPod. I just saying is, it MIGHT have a bad iOS.
If you are unable to do a restore, put your ipod in DFU mode, then connect to iTunes and iTunes will detect your ipod in restore mode. Press shift key (PC keyboard) then click the restore button on iTunes. I hope you have your copy of IPSW file for restoration purposes.
