Is there a difference between the Apple store (box disc) version of iWork and the App store version?

Is there a difference between the iWork that can be purchased through the Apple Store and the AppStore version? There is a price difference between the two sets, and I was curious is there is a substantial difference.

The boxed versions are installed at the same time and have shared auxiliary files. When you buy them through the Mac App Store they are installed individually and the auxiliary files that they could share are installed individually, so there is duplication and they take up a bit more room.
And as Kappy says, you cannot update them through the MAS, the boxed set must be updated through Software Update.

I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for?

I downloaded Mavericks and it won't install. I did re-set my password and when I click on Install for Mavericks, I still get a box for "administrator password" and it still won't accept my new password. Is there a difference between my Apple ID and the administrator password they're asking for? I never had an administrator password-- I just hit enter and have never had a problem before with previous installations. I'm on an iMac, from 2007, running Mt. Lion (version 10.8.5). I've been looking for other's posts who may be having the same problem, but haven't found any. Can anyone help?

Ugh. The 'no password, no work' thing is a recent Apple development. I ran into it on my system and ended up having to do a clean install on a partition I fully erased.
I suppose, if you have the ability to, go online and look up how to burn a bootable DVD image. Download the 10.8.4 image then use the Disk Utility to make a boot image of it. You'll need a dual-layer DVD or a USB drive (or memory stick at least 8GB) If you've got an optical drive, burn the disk, if you've a USB device, use that.
Then get a pocket drive and copy your important files off the system or let Time Machine do a full backup.
When the backup is done, insert the disk and hold down the C key until the machine boots off of the DVD. At the point you get to the start window, go to the menu and choose the Disk Utility.
In the Disk Utility, reformat the drive. You go to the actual DRIVE (not the Macintosh HD, but the root above it that is the actual hard drive device)
I always do this and *partition* it into several volumes, the benefit being, you can store all of your music, documents and importans stuff on that secondary storage volume you make - it will have it's own index and then the first volume is where you put the OS and it will have it's own index as well. That way, if the OS throws a wobbler and you need to reinstall, you don't lose your data.
Depending on the size of your hard drive, it is good to give your OS partition at least 60GB and optimally 100GB, and the rest for storage.
Name your volumes, use the little box sliders to manually size them or put that number in the size window, select for the format, Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and hit Apply and then the Disk Utility will quickly create your new partitions.
Once finished, quit the Utility and it will return you to the OS installer. Select the volume you want to install to and it should start up and install.
Once the installation is done, you'll get the new machine startup then you MUST put in a password for the computer. Once you're in, and to the desktop, don't bother with any Mountain Lion updates, go right to the App Store and get the Mavericks update and let it install the app to your Applicaitons folder, then do that install.
On a side note, there MAY be a way to make a disk image from the Mavericks application and avoid the entire Mountain Lion step.. I honestly do not know, but a bit of hitting the search engines may find out if there is. I think that if you looked for "make Mavericks boot disk or boot image' you may find something.
Good luck!

What are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation

what are the differences between the Apple 64GB iPad Air with Retina Display and the Apple 64 iPad with Retina Display MD512LL/A 4th Generation ?

The iPad with retina display only comes in the 16GB version and it has the A6 processor which is a step down from the Air model. Having said that, I stream movies on my iPad 3 with retina and it has the A5 processor and the movies stream just fine as does everything else that I do on the internet.
If 16GB is enough storage for you, the $100 savings compared to an iPad Air model is a fair amount of money and that might sway me if I was just worried about saving some money. However, that's not my style. I always go for the largest capacity that I can afford and the faster processor if I have the choice.
Having said that, if it were me, I would select the 32 GB iPad Air. But in spite of the information that you provided in which you want to base your decision, only you can be the judge of what will be best for you, and remember that you cannot add storage capacity to the decide later. You can purchase external WiFi drives if you need the storage, but to me, that takes away from having the really small footprint and portability of only having to carry the iPad around gives you.

Difference between a Apple LED Cinema Display (27" flat panel) and a Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch)?

May i know the difference between a Apple LED Cinema Display (27" flat panel) and a Apple Thunderbolt Display (27-inch)? both products look the same to me, even the prices are the same, but the name of the product is different. Its so confusing! I want to purchase a secondary display for my 21" iMac, but idk the difference between the two.
furthermore, another question i have is, is 27" the largest display i can get? is there larger ones (just the screen, not the computer)?
please help, thanks!

One has thunderbolt capabilities, the other doesn't.

No you can get a larger one. Maybe not an Apple one, but certainly another brand.

HT201263 None of these answers help my problem. My ipad will not leave the Apple logo. I hold both buttons and the screen goes black, then the apple logo immediately pops back up. I can't do anything because the apple logo just keeps popping back on.

I haven't been able to find any answers that solve my problem. My Ipad will not leave the Apple logo. I hold both buttons and the screen goes black and then the Apple logo immediately pops back up. I can't get the red slider screen at all. No matter how many times I hold down both buttons the screen goes black and then the Apple logo pops right back on.

Before you do anything else, try charging via a wall outlet for a while, since its off. Then try turning it back on.
When you put the device into recovery mode it allows you to restore the device when no other options work. You do risk losing everything currently strored on the ipad itself. Hopefully you've performed regular backups either via itunes, icloud or both. Evern if you have synced content to either of those, you may not lose everything. All previous purchases have been saved in the itunes and app stores, so you can dowload them again.
while the ipad is off, press and hold the home button and plug the usb cord into the ipad. You should see a message pop up on the itunes window on your compoter screen that state it has discoverd an ipad in recovery mode.
You should now be able to restore

HT1926 How do I authorize a windows 8/64 but I/explorer computer?The Apple website is way out of date and the support led to an unknown error -42110 and the advice was wrong and inoperable from the support man Gulab

I have bought a New Computer as my Old one did it's HDD. I now have windows 8/64 bit I/E 10 and am trying to Authorise my New Computer. I have downloaded the latest version and I got an ""unknown error -42110 "" .I went to te apple website and that says how to deactivate a SC folder or something in windows 7 or windows vista.
It also says to go to ""store|"" > Authorise Computer"" and I can't get anything,so I contacted Apple support and I got some person called Gulab who sent me links to the same obsolete apple website which says exactly what I have said above.
I open iTunes and it lets me login with my apple id and says that I have $78.00 in credit and to be honest I can't understand the updated version/s let alone find how to ""Authorise "" my new computer.Gulab said to delete te sc Folder but the website (Apple) says this ios for windows 7 and windows vista.
Running around in circles. Apple website needs to be drastically updated instead of updating iTunes .
Completely confused and so is the support staff....lololooolololol

(1) There's a couple of ways to get through to the authorisation controls in the 11.0.x versions.
The control is still in the Store menu, but first (if you're using iTunes versions 11.0.x) you might need to bring up the menu bar to see the Store menu.
If you're using 11.0.x, click on the wee boxy icon up in the top-left corner of your iTunes to see the "Show Menu Bar" control, as per the following screenshot:
Then you'll find the control in the Store menu:
Alternatively, if you don't want to bring up the menu bar, it's still possible to get into the authorise controls via nested menus accessible from the wee boxy icon. Here's a screenshot of where to find them:
(2) Some discussion on means of locating the SC Info folder on Windows 8 systems in the following topic:

My Apple ID don't sign in sometimes, and my app store download speed is very low

I recently upgraded my iOS to 7.0.4 and I am trying to download app from appstore. I had no problem in first 2-3 days but then my download speed decreased and I couldn't sign in properly to my apple ID. Now its all off and I cant sign in anymore.
I have no problem when I use my PC to sign in to Apple ID but I can not sign in through my IPAD 2.

Ok let me summazite my case :
In Office via wifi or enernet
1. My account failed to login
2. The other family account no issue
In Office via hotspot from my iPhone using 3G
1. all accounts are working
At Home either wifi or 3G - No issue at all
I called Apple in Hong Kong, they said there are many users reporting the same problem, and they are investigating. Suggested me to reset the router and changing password, both do not solve .

My iphone has been toggling between the Apple logo(like its just been rebooted) and the home screen. I cant do anything to stop it. Batt still has some juice. It keeps beeping also, the same beep u hear everytime u plug in to charge.

I have updated it to 4.3.3 abt 2 weeks ago. I have also tried rebooting it a few time but to no avail. You can email me at [email protected]
Thanks!!!!

Hi, did you ever solve this problem?
My 1 year old -- ha! one month out of warranty -- iPhone 4 has been having a nearly identical problem over the past few days.
It started by dying completely so I had the battery replaced, thinking it was simply battery issue.
It then worked again for a moment but started doing exactly what you describe, going through a reset cycle (longer than 30 seconds but who's counting). And it felt quite warm.
Did hard reset, plugged into wall charger and MBP USB but the new battery wouldn't even get a full charge (a whopping 92% after nearly two days). It would even lose battery when plugged in if I opened an app. And all the while plugged in, if I left the phone on, it would cycle through these resets. So I turned it off to try to charge it.
Now suddenly, it's dead again. Totally black, and hard reset does nothing. Up until two days ago there was nothing wrong whatsoever with this phone! And I hadn't even installed a new app that could be the root of the issue. No idea whatsoever what caused this.
Any help would be much appreciated!!

Is there a difference between "Spotlight" & the "Search" field?

Hi,
In Lion, is there a difference between searching for a file using SPOTLIGHT . . . or the SEARCH field in the upper left of a folder (if you click your Hard drive.)?
For example, I have a MacBook Pro with a 2nd hard drive inside. If I don't "Spotlight" the 2nd hard drive - will the SEARCH field then still work? Or if I DO SPOTLIGHT it - is it using the same search mechanism using "Find" and "Spotlight"?
I'm curious how this works? Thanks very much,
Larry

Using COMMAND-F or Finder's search field provides a window like this:
If you click on the Kind dropdown menu you will see:
You can select different search criteria for locating files. If you then select Other you will see:
You can then check the different search attributes you wish to add to the previously shown dropdown menu thus providing many different search criteria.

Is there a difference between mono & stereo when recording with single mic?

When creating an audio track to record vocals through a single condenser mic, is there a difference between selecting mono or stereo? if so, what's the difference?

Assuming your source is mono, there will be no sonic difference, and recording to a stereo Logic track will simply waste disk space. If you have a stereo microphone (i.e. it's actually a pair of mics packaged together), then it makes sense to record in stereo. If you're using a standard single microphone, record to a mono Logic track.

If I want to buy the iPad Air from US although I'm from Hong Kong, is there any difference between buying in Apple Store and in BestBuy ?

If I want to buy the iPad Air from US although I'm from Hong Kong, is there any difference between buying in Apple Store and in BestBuy ?
E.g. I buy it in BestBuy, I still can take the iPad Air to the genius bar if there are problems for the iPad?
Thanks!

Yes, as long as you buy a new device from an Apple Authorized reseller (which BestBuy is) then you have the normal Apple one year warranty with it. Apple will honor that warranty in any of their stores, and anyone with any Apple device is welcome in any Apple retail store with questions or seeking help.

Is there a difference between apple app store and the mac app store

i keep hearing about the mac app store, is there a difference between that and the regualr app store i use for iphone

Depends upon to whom you are speaking. There is the iTunes Store, sometimes called the App Store, from which Apple vends apps for iPhones, iPads, and iPods. Then there is the Mac App Store, MAS, also sometimes referred to as the App Store rather than the Mac App Store where Apple vends software for Mac computers.

Is there a difference between usa and uk apple tv in terms of Pal and ntsc or they both exactly the same ?

My mate just brought me back an apple TV 3 from America and I have plugged it into my pal projector but the colours look a bit weird, I wanted to know if im imagining it or is there a difference between the USA and UK apple TV. does one have pal and one have ntsc? if so how do I change the USA one to pal ?

Winston Churchill wrote:
I'm not sure what you are trying to tell us, there are no PAL and NTSC settings on the Apple TV, only 50/60 Hz and that has nothing to do with colour.
I thought the OP was asking WHAT the difference between PAL & NTSC is, that is why I posted the links I did.
Maybe I misunderstood the question.

Refurbished I would suggest - refurbished products have slightly different product codes.
