Is iwork a good replacememnt for Appleworks?

Hi,
I loved Appleworks and all my documents are Appleworks but i just bought an Intel iMac and i'm not sure how Apoleworks will run so i'm thinking of buying iWork.
I only ever really used the word proccessing and spreadsheet functions but they were dead easy to use, does the same apply to iwork and will all my documents open in iwork ok?

It's an endless debate: Which software program do I use?
My thoughts:
Appleworks: What an amazing program. It was ahead of it's time back in the day. This program was well written and it still works! But I think there are some better choices out there today.
- I use Neo Office (free) for .doc compatibility and spreadsheet functionality.
- Keynote (iWork component) is fresh and obliterates MS Powerpoint. I have quite literally had CEO's and Managers jump out of their seats watching my presentation!
- Pages (iWork component) is also fresh but has a few rough edges (poor spreadsheet support, no database support) . But I find that I can whip out a quality document faster and looking better, than I can using other word processors/ page layout programs. Pages, seriously, gets beautiful documents out the door. I own; Appleworks, InDesign, Pages, NeoOffice. I go to Pages first, then Neo Office when I need .doc compatibility or functionality(usually the 'show/hide/changes' feature).
- Appleworks is the only database program I use. I must confess, I don't have much need for database software. Most of my needs are small or list oriented.
If my needs are more demanding, I'll use Appleworks or create a specialized Unix shell script or Applescript application using Xcode.
So, for $99, iWorks and Neo Office (free) are quite a bundle! Keep Appleworks around for your database needs.

Firstly I updated my ipad into ios7 and after watching the video by Apple, iWork, pages and numbers are free for download after updating iOS 7. How can I download iWork pages and number for free?

stevejobsfan is correct; iwork for ios is free only for new purchases of new ios devices. A good work around (if you have wifi connectivity) is going to the icloud website on your ipad, and working on your document.
A word of caution (the real reason I am responding to your post). If you do a lot of 'formatting' of a document on iwork for mac, and then save it in icloud; you will probably loose most of the formatting you have done (this will be true if you oppen the document in iwork for ios; also) It happened to me, and I did not duplicate the document before saving it to icloud; I lost at least an hours worth of work.

Is FileMaker Pro a replacement for Appleworks??

I love Appleworks(using the newest version) and have been using it for years. My database recently got corrupted and this is not the first time I've had problems.
Please share thought about Filemaker. I work for myself and my needs are primarily database related. for the financial end, i'm using MYOB.
Thanks!!

Hello,
Filemaker is a lot more powerful then AppleWorks and it should be a very good replacement for the AppleWorks database. But you can see for yourself if it is the right thing for you. Filemaker is offering a 30 day trial version (see link below).

Support for Appleworks databases?

Hi, I notice Numbers is supposed to handle spreadsheets but are Appleworks databases supported in Numbers 08?
thanks,
Dave

I recently posted a question in the Address Book forum about moving addresses from Appleworks (DB) to the OSX Address Book. (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1105599&tstart=0). This doesn't seem like a good replacement for what I am doing with AW.
I saw in this Numbers forum thread your suggestion on doing a copy and paste from AW DB to numbers. I saved the AW Address DB as text, then opened it, selected ALL, copied and then pasted into a blank Numbers document. This worked fine.
Using Sort and Filter I was able to organize entries similar to what I did in AW.
So for this simple DB, Numbers seems OK.

Doing a goods receipt for a customer material that is ASEQ status

We are needing to find a way to be able to do a goods receipt for a child part in ASEQ status. Most of our customers will send in their part after disassembling it themselves. Since we can not receive the part our present process is to dismantle so the system status changes to ESTO and we can receive. The problem with this is that the end user forgets to assemble the part back and we end up breaking the linkage.
We have looked into using User Status in the equipment master and have configured that. However the user status button, nor name shows up in the equipment master. I have looked at the field selection in IMG and it is not hidden. I am assuming it is being supressed by a user exit we have.
Can anyone give me any suggestions on how we can improve the process using SAP for material that is ASEQ status and being able to create an inbound delivery so we can receive in our warehouse for this status without dismatling the unit?
We are on ECC

Hello Kimberly
You lost me while describing your current process, so please provide more details as to how you dismantle and reinstall etc. Also how the part goes back to the customer.
However I can provide you clarifications to some questions you raised..
You see both system and user statuses in the field 'Status' itself. This is the 3rd row in the Equipment display screen under Equipment number and Description. If you see carefully you will see 2 sections, the one on left is system status and the one on right is User status. If you click on the i (info) icon, you will be taken to a screen where you see more info like status and business processes etc.
ASEQ is a system status and it is determined by what you did ( example dismantling) and can't be changed by you (user). If you see the 'Business Processes' tab, you will also see the this won't allow assignment to a Delivery and so on. So my point is having a user status will not help you. Based on the combination of system and user statuses, some processes are permitted, some not. For example if Goods Receipts are allowed, may be you can receive without an Inbound delivery. I am mentioning this as a thought initiator, I know you will have a Return/Repair order process including a return delivery.
I guess you have to systematically prevent the user from doing whatever they are doing out of turn, e.g., forgetting to reassemble (install?) and for this User statuses can help.
Let us know your process more in detail and I am sure SAP will have a standard way to receive a child part of a big assembly. Other members will share their practices also.
Take care.

Free goods master for STO or workaround to meet this requirement

Dear Gurus,
I use IS-retail and the situation we faced is we have got a deal from our vendor that if we buy article A will get article B for free. So we set a free goods master using condition type NR00. It work fine in purchase order we order to our vendor however when we create STO to distirbute product from our DC to store, there are no free goods concept in STO.
Does anyone have a solution for this issue or workaround for this?
we would like to have a subitem (Free goods item)pop up automatically when create STO from DC to store for the main article.
Is there a way to goods issue for sto with no cost for free goods article?
Regards
Mintoo

Dear Varun,
I already tried and found that In STO , The free goods indicator is disable (suppress) unlike in normal PO. There might be a reason for this. Do you any workaround on this?
Dear Venkat,
is there a way to use free goods master instead of using BOM. Our SD told that they need to change configuration to serve the sales set???

Transaction BORGR: No tolerance on goods receipt for Kanban calloff

Hello,
we have the following situation:
- MM scheduling agreement with tolerance of 10% for under and overdelivery, production supply "summarized JIT call" is set.
- KANBAN cycle has 1 empty container with a summarized JIT call for replenishment, quantity 10 pieces.
- ASN has been created with BORGR transaction, it contains: 1 line item for the material with delivery quantity 9 pieces, assigned to this line item is the JIT call with notified quantity 9 pieces as well.
My expectation was that the JIT call can be booked with 9 pieces as it is inside the 10% tolerance defined for the scheduling agreement. In addition, I expected the KANBAN container be set to full.
Instead, the following error message is given:
'Post GR' carried out without success
(Message no. BORGR215)
Because of previous error, dispatching is not possible for ID 0180573431
(Message no. /SPE/ID_HANDLING011)
Inbound Delivery 0180573431 00010
(Message no. BORGR210)
Total of the summarized JIT calls does not match the current delivery qty
(Message no. BORGR540)
Changing the delivery quantity and the notified JIT quantity to 10 pieces, the goods receipt is booked correctly.
I only found the following notes that deal with tolerances but they are outdated, as we are using DIMP release 603:
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/393421
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/508215
Has anybody faced a similar problem or can help me with this?
Thanks!

Hello Jiaul,
Sorry I may have mislead you. The actual error message is "Goods Receipt for Production Order XXXX can only be made on 2010.08.25 to 2010.08.27". These two dates are the Start Date and FInish Date for the Production Order in CO03,
The Basic Start Date for the current Production Order is 2010.08.25
The Basic Finish Date for the current Production Order is 2010.08.27
I think what it means is that you can only Post Goods Receipt for the Production Order only after the Basic Start Date of the Production Order. Do you know where I can find the configuration for this message?
Thanks

Please make this a good experiance for my first post on any board. READ ME

Hi all. Well first off, let me start by saying that my whole life I've owned PC's. And I'm not hacker Elliet. But I've gotten to know them pretty well. All the way from Windows 3.1 that came out a long time ago (more than 10 years ago)
So after a while of hearing about MAC's I decided to start small and get an iPod (since they are so popular here in NYC) and see what apple was about. Well I really saw that Apple had a great product and started asking about their computers. And did plenty of research. And before the new Intel Macs came out, I was going to get a powerbook. But I had a feeling a new laptop was coming out and waited a lil while and sure enough. The Macbook Pro came out. So I went out and did all my research (as to this being the first real purchase of a Apple product and knew about the possible implications of a new first gen Intel chip in a apple product litterally making history) I knew I might become a new beta tester.
So I started looking on these boards and did 2 weeks worth of hard research to see if the Mac Book Pro (MBP) was for me. And after all the problems i saw (ex: The whine, Right speaker distortion, heat coming from it, white line at bottom of screen, etc) I never saw or read anything about AOL connectivity problems. And I know, I know... alot of you are probably going to gripe and complain about AOL sucking and yada yada yada, but please. Cut me some slack. I actually like AOL. I got on it back in 92 when it came out, and really enjoyed it. And have been on it since. I like chatting on there, and so forth. And I hope you help with my problem instead of telling me to go get "a real ISP" I do have a real ISP, but I like my AOL too.
So now to my problem....
I have a Sony Viao 1.8ghz PC with 512 ram, 80 gig hard drive, 10/100 ethernet port. Connected to a Belkin Router (more info below on specs of router) connected to Opt Online Broadband Cable internet with VoIP. I use my macbook pro on the wireless network at my home.
I got a mac book pro 1.83 ghz running 512 ram on Tiger OSX 10.4.6 I thought that I would wait till a connectivity patch (which I thought would have been 10.4.6) fix the airport problems came out till I posted something. But now that I've tried everything, I'm hoping you open this thread and help me and possibly someone else out there as well. I just d/l'd and installed the 10.4.6 update last night and it did'nt help. So here's more info on my specs. I have a belkin router wireless G 2.4 ghz 54mbs router and I have configured the router with it's firewall, wap2 encryption (as it's the only selection the router has that is available that matches what airport comes with in encryption) I hid my network, and have tried to upgrade the firmware on the router.
Now Here's the real problem. I can connect to AOL on my MBP when I connect the actual ethernet cable to the MBP's Ethernet port (after I have let the cable modem do a hard reset to configure itself to a mac) I can connect to AOL. But when I disconnect the cable and return it to it's normal config, I can't connect to AOL. I can connect to the internet via safari, and firefox, and even AOL's IM on iChat. I can use Itunes all kinds of things. I can even play warcraft 3 wirelessly on battlenet. But connecting to AOL is a pain in the @$$. It's the only proggy I have that won't allow it to connect. I keep getting the error message "Your AOL connection ended because the AOL host was unable to start a new session. Please try to sign on again." Of course All i see for a while is the spinning black and white circle. And it goes through step 1 and 2, goes straight to 6. Then it goes blank, and BAM! That message pops up. And what's so frustrating is that I've tried every possible configuration on AOL, my router and even system preferences, for it to let connect. I even went into system preferences on the mac and went down the the Internet & Network "Sharing" icon and tried 100 possible combinations on that in the services tab, and firewall tab. I've turned them on, off, tried to make exceptions ETC. And no matter how much I play with the personal file sharing and windows sharing advanced settings and sigh every possible combination to make AOL connect via wirelessly. And nothing. I then even tried to fix the connection under AOL in setup. I've gone through and selected TCP Script, Airport Script. Cable Script, And practically every script I can think of. And nothing. I even went on to AOL and downloaded thier alleged fix to wireless accessing AOL. And nothing. I've been searching all over google, AOL's website, and all over these discussion boards and no mention of anyone even having the same problem. But please, someone out there with their infinit knowledge of how Macs run and having more experience than me, Please make this a good experiance for my first post on any board anywhere reguarding a mac. A MBP at that too.
An update to this, But amazingly enough, I actually got it to connect to AOL wirelessly for the first time yest. But I have no Idea how i did it. I tried for 3 hours to reproduce it and no luck. I was accessing my router at it's website config screen and somehow I clicked on connect to AOL and while it was trying to connect to it, i reset the router and BAM, it connected to AOL. And I was in shock. I thought I solved it. Somewhere while it was reseting the router it connected and stayed connected to AOL till I signed off and tried to sign back on to see if I could now connect, and guess what. The same dumb message keeps popping up "Your AOL connection ended because the AOL host was unable to start a new session. Please try to sign on again." And all I did was sign off to test it, thinking I had fixed the problem. I tried for 3 hours like I stated above, and BAM got it connected to AOL wirelessly again (somehow while the router was resetting). And thinking I fixed it, or figured out the trick to getting it to work, signed off... I kissed aol goodbye again. And have been unable to reproduce the "glitch". SIGH Can someone out there please help me?
I think I've made this message as detailed as possible, but please, can someone give me some constructive criticism on how to fix my AOL wireless connectivity problems. Do you know if it's my router? My MBP? AOL software? BTW, I got AOL software version 10.3.7 (Rev 4136.310 US) The latest version I D/L'ed from the AOL website. Anyone know If I should turn on or off some things such as personal fire sharing on, or firewall off or on? ANYTHING. Please. I've put alot of time into writing this post and making it as detailed as possible. And been having this problem for the past 3 weeks that I've had my MBP, and have waited long enough to use my AOL. If you need any further information or suggestions on making AOL work, please let me know. Thank you for taking the time to read all of this, and I really appreciate all of you in the time you take in responding back in trying to help me. I'll be monitoring this post almost hourly. So I hope someone out there can help. Thanks so much again. And help me make this transition to Mac a pleasant one knowing that there is a mac community out there willing to help a new mac client. Again, Many thanks
In Heath and Wealth,

I FIXED IT!
FYI for the rest of you that might be having the same problem. DON'T USE A BELKIN ROUTER WITH AOL ON A MBP!!!!! It ***** wirelessly. or even hard connected, it won't connect. I went to best buy today, and got a refund on the belkin. I then went to J&R and got a D-Link router. And now it works perfect. I can now chat on AOL yet again, and I tried all the other web browsers I have and messengers, and warcraft 3 online via battlenet. And it works great. I want to give you guys a special thanks for taking time out to answer back to my post. FYI! Belkin wireless G routers do not connect you to AOL wirelessly on MBP's. No matter how much you mess around on them. I highly recommend a D-Link Router. They are easy to set up as long as you READ ( AND I MEAN IT!!!) read the instructions before you set anything up on it. Use the CD that it comes with, and you'll be good to go. Set it up and it works great Almost no dead zones in the house, and now I can use the MBP with all it's cababilities. Thanks people. I really appreciate it.
P.S. I called belkin last night when i decided to get a refund on my router for today and when i talked to the tech, after puersuading him to tell me the truth. And stop BS'ing me, he broke down and admited that AOL does not work wirelessly on MBP's. So to make a long story short this time, There you go. And one last note, I'm very happy now with my d-link router. I honestly thought it would suck. Not being a brand name router or anything. But amazingly, it works like a brand name item! Again, many thanks all.

Value of inventory after Goods Issue, before Goods Receipt for open order

Dear Experts,
Raw materials R72 and R82 are required to produce Semifinished Product S10.
Semifinished product S10 is required to produce Fnished product F20
On 10th August 2011, I created and release a Process Order for material S10 copying component materials R72 and R82.. Goods issue for component materials R72 and R82 were done for this process order using tcode MIGO (mvt type 261).
It takes four to five days to properly blend components R72 and R82 to obtain S10.
It means Goods Receipt for this process order will be done on 14th or 15th August when this blending has been completed.
Management suddenly issues a directive that stock take should be carried out in the plant on the 12th August 2011, and my process order is still open and cannot be closed ( or goods receipt cannot be done) because blending is yet to be completed.
Please how do I take care of this scenario/situation since Goods Issue has been done already?
How will the Accountants see or get the correct value of inventory?

When I run WIP Calculation for my Process Order, what will be the effect ? I mean what accouts are updated by WIP Calculation within a period (not across a perion or at period end)?
GI values issued to the Process order will come into WIP GL .( Since your client want to know the stock take should be carried out in the plant on the 12th August 2011- we are doing WIP calculation)
> After this WIP Calculation is run, and say about 2days later, Goods Receipt for this process order is to be posted, what steps am I suppose to carry out?
After GR Made, Run a WIP calculation again for the order so that The WIP from the GL account will get reduced ,now WIP= (GI value + confirmation ) -(GR Value),
Check in DEV system before doing in PRD,
On Month end, do the variance calculation and do the settlement

I loaded iTunes on a new laptop. I copied and pasted my albums to a 4G stick and down loaded them to the new laptop. Placing them in, Libraries – Music – iTunes and than in Itunes used File – add file to library. So far so good. For what ever reason one of the CDs would not load onto the stick. I got the orginal CD and loaded directly to Itunes. Now when I look in Libraries – Music – iTunes it’s not there but it is in and plays in iTunes. What should I have done or should I be doing? Thanks.

It's not a unique situation - happens all the time, smaller hard drives getting filled up.
It's also easy to fix. I just moved my itunes content to a bigger hard drive.
First I made a backup of the itunes database file - iTunes Library.itl. Just in case anything went wrong.
Nothing did go wrong, but I'd have it in case anything DID go wrong. That file holds ratings, playcounts, Date Added, and other metadata.
Second, in itunes change the preferences > advanced tab to tell itunes to put everything on G:
Set the itunes folder location to something like G:Media or G:iTunes
This will affect all FUTURE additions to itunes and not do anything to the existing locations.
Make sure the checkbox for "Keep itunes organized" is NOT checked. I also left the "Copy files when adding" unchecked.
Third, to move all the files to G: without itunes losing the paths, run the File > Library > Organize > Consolidate command. This will need to run a while, so be patient as it copies all the files to the new G: location. This does NOT delete the originals. You will have to do that.
Fourth, make sure everything in itunes is OK and you can play stuff in your library. If you're really cautious you can run a script to check for missing/dead tracks.

My CD/DVD drive reads regular CDs/DVDs but installation DVDs such as iWork's and office for Mac it spits it out after trying to read it. Please help!!!

For some reason when I insert installation discs for programs like iWork's and office for Mac the drive does not read the disc. I tried movies and music and they worked perfectly. I was able to fix the problem with the iWork's disc by creating a disc image in another drive, I have yet to do this with the Office for Mac but I would like to know what could be the reason for this problem. Any help is appreciated.

@ RabidPineappler and Froggiefo20...
I forgot that I have an extended AppleCare Protection Plan, I contacted Apple today (in Sydney) and they took me through step by step. I tried inserting my OS X disc and it accepted it, I tried putting in a commercial DVD (Star Wars) and it started playing. I then tried putting in a commercial CD and it wouldn't work through iTunes. It made incredibly sick whirring noises and then eventually (approx 5 minutes later) appearred on my desktop, but iTunes7 would not recognise the disc.
Then he suggested I log in under another username which I did... Then my drive prompty died. It does not accept any disc now. He said that I need to have my iBook seen to by a technician. Since I have the extended warranty, my repair shouldn't cost me anything (the extended warranty was ovver $400, so it better not cost anything), so I can't give you an indication as to what you will be up for.
You do not need o take your iBook to the place where you bought it, but ensure you have your sales receipt.
Hope I helped.

I need a good monitor for the retina macbook pro

What is a good monitor for the retina macbook pro. Im looking for 27 inch that is around the price of the thunderbolt display. The only thing putting me off the thunderbolt display is that i wouldnt be able to watch stuff on my xbox on it due to no hdmi.
Im going to university so it would be useful to be able to watch tv and play games on the monitor too but Im more interested in a monitor that will work great on the rmbp and on photoshop. I need to be able to calibrate it perfectly.

If I am understanding you correctly you should look at the 27 inch Samsung HD LED. Best Buy has it on sale for $340

Is iwork a good replacememnt for Appleworks?
