Is Pages the app of your choice for an MA paper?
I have used Pages quite a while for everyday writing. Not I need to write an MA paper.
I wouldn't like to find out in 3 months that Pages is not fit for professional scientific writing, e.g. that it can't handle footnotes, endnotes, bibliographies etc. professionally.
So, would you recomment Pages or some other word processor like Nisus Writer, Mellel…?
Thank you!
It should be OK, I am in the process of writing a book several hundred pages long and whilst I wish it did certain things better it makes up for it in other ways.
You will need to purchase EndNote to get full citations and bibliographies. So take into account the combined cost against any alternatives.
LibreOffice [free] is a good alternative and growing better in leaps and bounds, and I am very partial to iText Pro but it doesn't have floating graphics or real DTP abilities.

Ok can anyone tell how I can get the apps that I paid for on iTunes and the app store using my I pad because I don't have a computer and when I try to redownload the apps it keeps asking me for my card number and when I give it my card info it says that it's an invalid number when I know that it's not
If you are getting an 'invalid security code' message then is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorizations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store -
Hi
I am a newbie to paid apps, and have previously used freebies. I have never quite understood the mechanics of how the iPad and iPhone are meant to keep the apps in sync. I've paid $150 for a Hema mapping app which I downloaded to my ipad ok. The license covers up to 5 idevices. I'm stuck on how the app is meant to "appear" in my iPhone.
I've googled, searched apple forums, and the best I get is the brochure ware on the apple page which says that things are meant to appear in one device if they are downloaded to another (or something similar to that). Can someone take the time to explain what I need to enable to have this happen, and/or what I need to do to get the mapping app onto my phone if enabling a feature doesn't retrospectively "sync" my devices.
I have a iPhone 4, iPad (
Thanks so much.Thanks AnaMusic. I tried that, after I couldn't find anything on the internet. Their advice was your iphone must have insuffucient capacity. Told them nicely that it was more fundamental than that. Their response was effectively not our space.
My take: sucky support for $150..... but we want the app on our ipad for a remote area 5 week holiday that is coming up in a couple of weeks time.
hence my question on here, so I can get down to the basic fundamentals of app store/itunes wherever it is that is managing the 'syncing'between devices. I've not managed to get a grasp on this functionality & don't know what I don't know if you get my drift..... -
I updated my 3gs and it wiped all my apps, now when trying to rebuy the apps it is asking for a postcode(i live in ireland where there are none)and it also will not accept my payment card type.any help greatly appreciated
I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots. -
NSURLErrorDomain error -1012 keeps coming up when I go to the app store to check for any updates.
When I go to the App store to check for any updates it will not proceed and gives me the following error message NSURLErrorDomain error 1012.
Can anybody help please.
Thanks,

What are the 3-bit field choices for Hw_Arm_Sel in PCI-6601
Hi,
I am programming our own driver to operate the PCI-6601. For our application we need hardware arm option. I know it is possible to use 2 counters for that, but NI-TIO should support also hw_arm. Although it is not explained in the registry document at all, after some tedious check in the DDK examples I found that this bits are located in the Gi counting mode register. I know the position of the HW_enable as well as the position of the 3 bits for pin sellect options. What I do not know is What are the 3-bit field choices for Hw_Arm_Sel . I contacted NI support but got no support. How can NI sell boards and when a customer who is not using LAbview or Measurement Studio or DDK, but is implementing his own driver is then so arrogantly turned down from NI? Also, how can NI publish just part of the registers the board support, and when a customer contacs and asks for some registers get not at all support? I can not foretell the missing registers, and it is pretty unprofessional to document just partly the registers of 660x devices. And on request you got nothing.
I hope someone from the community know about this Hw_Arm_Sel 3 pin options. Otherwise, there is just an option of error and trial. Or simply throw the board in the garbage.

Solved!
Go to Solution.Hi Kirco,
I have some more information for you :-)
I haven't been able to speak to the developer who is the most familiar with TIO programming since he's out of the office, but I have come across his notes from when he was writing support for the DAQmx driver.
As I described earlier, the HW_Arm_Sel bits don't select a connector I/O pin, but an internal trigger signal. There are seven internal trigger lines, and the HW_Arm_Sel bits map directly to the internal trigger signal: 0b000 - 0b111 map to 0d0 - 0d7. In order to route an I/O pin to an internal trigger, you must also write to a few more registers.
From what I've read, there are two more register families that need to be programmed: TG_x_LevelEdgeReg and TG_x_CombinationReg, where x is the internal trigger number. In your case, you only need one pin from the I/O connector to be your arm start trigger, so TG_0_LevelEdgeReg and TB_0_CombinationReg will suffice for your application.
TB_0_LevelEdgeReg :: Offset 0x660
TG_0_LevelEdgeReg is only 8 bits wide, and maps as follows:
7..6: EdgeMode
5..0: LESel
LESel selects the I/O connector pin to use as the source for the internal trigger signal. 0d0 - 0d39 will select the I/O pin of the same number. NB: behavior for TG_x_LevelEdgeReg is more limited for triggers 1-7, and only a small subset of the I/O pins can be selected for those trigger signals. Trigger 0 can use any I/O pin. Setting these bits to 0d63 forces the trigger source low, and can be used as a way to 'unroute' it when you're finished with your program.
EdgeMode determines whether the TIO will detect an edge of the incoming signal, or just pass the signal level straight through. When detecting edges, it will latch the signal and generate a single TIMEBASE3 pulse instead. 0b00 sets level mode; 0b01 sets rising edge; 0b10 sets falling edge; 0b11 sets either edge.
TG_0_CombinationReg :: Offset 0x6A0
TG_0_CombinationReg is 32 bits wide, and has three fields of interest:
19..16: CombFunction
5..4: CombTypeB
1..0: CombTypeA
CombTypeA controls which trigger subsystem to use as the source for the trigger signal. Since you're coming from an I/O pin and using the edge/level subsystem, you must set these bits to 0b01.
CombTypeB is similar to CombTypeA, and although you won't be using trigger B, set it to 0b01 to be safe.
CombFunction performs a simple logic function on A and B. Since you're only using a single I/O connector, you only need the A output, so set these bits to 0b1100.
All of the other bits should be set to 0b0.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to test these statements since my test machine is currently being used for another research project. Please let me know what happens if you decide to test.

My hard drive crashed and nothing recoverable, local Apple Store installed a new drive. How can I go back and download the apps I had purchased for my previous configuration, for instance Lion 10.7, and Photoshop Elements 10?
A blank drive needs to be formatted first, you do that hold c boot (or hold option key boot) from the 10.6 install disk (or Lion USB)
Read how to format the drive in Disk Utility here

Can anyone recommend a duplicate file finder application for OS10.6 systems? All the apps I find on the App Store are only for 10.7 and later. I don't know how to filter a search on the App Store by operating system (if this is even possible). I currently have a MacBook running OS10.6.8. If you can recommend an app, please post the URL. Would appreciate any helpful suggestions....

Under settings my phone has my apple id logged in, when I go to update on the app store it asks for a friends apple id, how do i fix this?
The app must have been purchased using your friends account. This means that the app belongs to your friend.
You need to buy your own copy. -
The APP update request came for 4 apps. I submitted update all, but the system is stuck and will not update. Further, I cannot use those apps. How do I fix this?
Two other things to try -
Power your iPad off for a minute and then back on again.
Double tap the Home button, locate the updating apps (one by one) in the bottom task bar, press on it until the red minus sign comes up and click it. Repeat for the remaining apps. Try the updates again but do them one by one rather than Update All. -

I am trying to find an app or software to burn iMovie 11 slideshow to a dvd. I have a MacBook Pro with Mavericks. There are a lot of DVD Creator apps at the App store. Looking for a recommendation of what to use and tips. Thank you.
I've been using "Burn" for years and it has been the only DVD burning software I have ever used for the mac. I have never needed to look at other apps. Unless you want something that has more bells and whistles such as Roxio's "Toast" : http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/toast/pro/overview.html
There are thousands of quality free apps out there for the mac that are not part of the App Store. All you have to do is read reviews online, do a little search, the Apple forums are full of recommendations from experienced users that have been here for years... -
Some of my earliest photos are not showing on my phone5 after updating to iOS7. They can be seen in the app "over" which allows for art and lettering to be placed on a photo but I cannot find an album or year for photos before 2012 (in the photo app). The iphone says the photo content is there when I check in "about" under general in settings. So the pictures seem to be somewhere but I just can't access from from the photo app. Any suggestions. I also know that they were there before the iOS7 upgrade as I was looking for a pre 2012 picture last week and it we there.
