IWork Demo Question

Is the iWork Demo that is included on the MacTel iMac upgradeable? In other words, The trial is for 30 days. Do I purchase a license to turn it into a permanent program electronically or do I purchase a whole new iWork at the closest Apple Store?

Apple does not, to my knowledge, sell a "license key only" or downloadable copy of iWork, so when you purchase, you'll get the full disk set. But if memory serves, you can just enter in the license code that will be in the package into the copy already on your system, so you don't have to reinstall.

IWork Compatibility Question

I recently bought a MacBook Pro for my personal use at home. At work, I have a PC. I would like to be able to bring work home (i.e. Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) and NOT have to bring my PC home also.
My question is: if I bring these types of files home and edit them on my Mac, will I be able to take them back to work and open them on my PC? I know that iWork can open these files, but will it also go the other way?
I am currently trying to get as much input as possible regarding whether to purchase iWork, or to purchase Microsoft Office for Mac. iWork is considerably cheaper, but if trying to make edited documents once-again compatible with my PC is too much of a pain, I would consider the extra cost.
Thanks for your help.

Amazon has a single user Office Mac 2011 Home & Student for $89. I paid $149 at BestBuy almost a year ago so the price is coming down and with MS parading Office 2013 and Web Apps, prices should drop even more. It has everything but Outlook which I've never needed with Mail and iCal. Personally, while iWork works with Office files, I think it might be worth it to get Office. I also work on work files (Office 2003) at home and use Dropbox to sync them.
Simple text will convert to Pages fairly well, but if you use forms or tables, you'll be frustrated with the import/export results. Also stick with standard Office fonts... Arial, Courier, Times New Roman, ect. Generally, the more complex and formatted the Word document, the more screwed up it will be when exported back out from Pages.
I'm not an Excel power user but even I have had formulas not convert to Numbers. Charts work pretty well (depending on the data set) and MS has gone a long way to make them easier to manage in Excel 2011. The only chart problems I've had are certain 3D effects that didn't translate, shadows, and text positioning that had to be redone. One thing I do a lot of that Numbers doesn't support is pivot tables. I had one file Numbers totally froze on while importing, but to be fair it had over 7000 rows and several pivot tables.
I've never used Powerpoint or Keynote so can't tell you anything there. I have seen compatability complaints between the two all over the boards though.
Hope this helps and good luck!

StoreFrontModule demo questions

Hi,
I have a few questions on the Design and Build of the StoreFrontModule demo based on the FOD Schema.
I am using JDeveloper Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.1.0 Build JDEVADF_11.1.1.1.0_GENERIC_090615.0017.5407 and as an exercise building the demo StoreFrontModule from scratch to see how this useful demo was designed.
Starting with the Model layer project StoreFrontService and looking at the Entity Object definitions in JDeveloper i see the Numeric and Date types are assigned to domain types "oracle.jbo.doamain.Numeric or Date" .
Project Properties SQL Flavor = Oracle
Type map = Java
After creating Entity Objects the Types are naturally set to Java types like Bigint, BigDecimal and you go through the entities to reset these values to the relevant "oracle.job.domain types" .
Questions :
1.0 In a large Datamodel this would be rather tedious, is there an way to automatically remap these Java Types to the Oracle Domain types from JDeveloper or must this be done with a tool set like JHeadstart ?
thanks in advance

Hi Frank,
If i create a new ADF Project in the Store Front application and then reverse engineer the ADDRESSES entity to
this project the attributes are indeed defined with oracle.jbo.domain types
AddressId oracle.jbo.domain.DBSequence
Longitude oracle.jbo.domain.Number
Latitude oracle.jbo.domain.Number
CreationDate oracle.jbo.domain.Date
LastUpdateDate oracle.jbo.domain.Date
ObjectVersionId oracle.jbo.domain.Number
However if i start from scratch to define a clean Application i cannot replicate this behavior
New Application XYZ --> FUSION WEB APPLICATION ( ADF )
Copy the Database FOD Connection to the Model project and reverse engineer then ADDRESSES
set the SQL behavior to the same as in the StoreFrontDemo
SQL Flavor = Oracle
Type Map = Java
Just like in the StoreFrontDemo project
Query and Import ADDRESSES
then the Entity always has the following definition
AddressId BigDecimal
Longitude BigDecimal
Latitude BigDecimal
CreationDate Date
LastUpdateDate Date
ObjectVersionId BigDecimal
Of course if i choose Type map = Oracle the Types are set to normal Oracle Types instead of the jbo classes
The clean application appears to be set up the same as the StorerFrontDemo app but the behavior when reverse
engineering is completely different.
I note that the StoreFront Model has additional Libraries defined on its model and have also tried defining
these libraries in the Clean App Model but it does not affect the reverse engineering behavior.
My question is
What has to be done in setting in setting up the clean App to replicate this behavior.
Is the option New Application Fusion Application the wrong choice, perhaps i should be using New generic Application and configuring it from that point ?
thanks
Russell

Repeater demo question: how to filter by name?

Hello,
I was looking at the repeater demo in the JSF beta distribution for some help with a problem I'm having.
For example, how would one modify the demo so that #{RepeaterBean.customers} only returns those customers who have a specific name?
My thought:
1) add a new property in RepeaterBean called "customerName".
2) add the following above the data_table in the repeater.jsp:
<h:input_text value="#{RepeaterBean.customerName}"/>
3) Add the appropriate logic in the "RepeaterBean.customers" method to only add those customers to the list whose name is equal to "RepeaterBean.customerName".
Unfortunately, this idea doesn't work. The "data_table" gets at the value of "RepeaterBean.customers" before it sets the value of the "RepeaterBean.customerName". In other words, when "RepeaterBean.customers" is called, it has no idea what the value of "RepeaterBean.customerName" is because it hasn't been set by JSF yet.
The above is a very simple example, and obviously not very useful, but it illustrates a particular problem: data_table inspects its value before other values from the form are set, and thus the data_table's value cannot be based on other form data.
Any ideas on work-arounds or solutions!?
Thanks,
Ryan

The approach you suggest is failing in the beta due to a bug in UIData, where it is too aggressive about caching the list of customers. This has been corrected for the final release.
One thing you might experiment with is having the getCustomers() method return a javax.faces.model.DataModel instead of a List. (You might even find the existing ListDataModel implementation useful for this.) By providing your own DataModel, it may be possible to update the underlying data directly, and therefore not be impacted by the caching.

MapInit.jsp/DMAP.JSP Demo Question

I have played around with the demo of the dynamic map. I want to use the functionality that allows the mouseover effect for the state_abrv in my own application. When I try to change the demo to use my data I get an error in the bottom of the Browser that simply says "Error on Page" I get no other clue as to what my error may be, I assume it has something to do with this section of code:
String[] colsToSelect = new String[]{"Location, City", "State StateABRV"};
info = mv.identify(dataSrc,
"map_data", //which table
colsToSelect, //which columns to identify
"map_loc_data", //which geometry column
8307, //srid of the geometry column
x,y //mouse click position on screen
This is the Original Code Example:
String[] colsToSelect = new String[]{"City", "Pop90 Population", "State_abrv state"};
info = mv.identify(dataSrc,
"cities", //which table
colsToSelect, //which columns to identify
"location", //which geometry column
8265, //srid of the geometry column
x,y //mouse click position on screen
Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong, or at least tell me how I can get the browser to give me more infomration on what the error might be.
This error shows up in the bottom bar in IE, in Mozilla I get no error, but the functionality still does not work.
Thanks!

Hi, your application (jsp pages) are processed at the server side (for instance, inside the standalone OC4J). Please check your server side logs for any suspicious error messages. If you are using standalone oc4j they should be displayed on the console/terminal it got started from. You should also check your mapviewer log if you enabled it, which usually lies inside $OC4J_HOME/j2ee/home/applications/mapviewer/web/WEB-INF/log directory.
without meaningful error messages or stacktraces you cannot debug such issues.

Oracle.cabo.doc in UIX Demos - question to oracle support

Hallo,
Where can i found the oracle.cabo.doc.* classes used in the UIX Demo Bundle ?
( download link : http://technet.oracle.com/sample_code/products/jdev/uix/uixdemos.zip )
regards, Manolis

Manolis: The UIX demo class files are not currently available --we have not completed the work required to externalize this.
Thanks,

ASO Demo Question

Hello All.
I have a question regarding an article posted in Oracle Magazine, that perhaps someone here will be able to answer.
The article is located here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/issue-archive/2010/10-sep/o50bi-165473.html
Having only worked with BSO applications, I'm brushing up on ASO. Thought I'd follow the exercise in the article above.
However, when I do the dataload, I receive: Aggregate storage applications ignore update to derived cells. [74776] cells skipped (as one would expect with ASO).
Then, when trying to create the first calc script in the article, I receive Error: 1012686 Calculation scripts are not supported in aggregate storage applications.
Both Essbase and EAS are 11.1.2.2.
What have I missed?
Thx,
Bill

If you're using the file and the outline from the article I suspect you can safely ignore that dataload warning. I assume from your comment that you already know what it means.
At exactly what point in the process do you receive the 'Calculation scripts are not supported...' error? I can use the EAS editor to create and then 'Save As' calculation scripts to ASOsamp in my 11.1.2.2 environment, but I get that error if I try to validate. The EAS editor is not really much use for creating ASO scripts anyway.

Newbie Demo Question

My friend tried the Demo and had issues... A hardware message and another observation is that the product features that he tried stated that you needed the plue $50 per year option. I am asking for my friend as I am interested in getting into video primarily from still.. Now I do CS and heavy LR3 still.
We both do not want to pay $50 per year but in your opinion, is this something that most people would need? I know I am not being specific and it depends..
Also the demo download should download the current product (current fix level)... Any feedback would be appreciated. I buddy is not going to spend any more time with this unless it is a known fix.
Do you like the product ? and compared to other products, why?...
Thanks I know that I am all over the place with this post.

You do not need to pay $50 for Photoshop.com Plus unless you want the added online storage space and the added templates and effects.
The program is full and complete without it.
If you'd like to know more about the product and what I like about it, check out my page and the links on http://Muvipix.com/pe9.php
I've been using Premiere Elements since version 1 and, despite an occasional aggravation, I've found it to be far and away the best product of its kind out there. That's why I co-created Premiere Elements support site http://Muvipix.com and why I've written over half a dozen books on using it.
But it is an intensive program so:
1) You want to make sure youv'e got an adequately powered, well maintained computer to run it on, and
2) You want to make sure project settings match your source footage. If you're trying to edit video from a $100 still camera or that you downloaded from YouTube, you're likely going to have problems. But if you're working with video from a good Sony or Canon camcorder, you'll probably find great success!

IWork Licensing Question

I can't find a place to put this (i.e a seperate iWork forum), so I'll place it in here.
I bought iWork single user edition after buying my MacBook (I bought the application in October).
Now, I am going to be buying an iMac in February, and was wandering wether I can just pay the difference to go to iWork family pack (like you can for MobileMe) or wether I have to go ahead and buy the family pack at however much it retails for.
Thanks for any asssistance,
Adam

Since you're not getting another Mac until February you'll have time to see if a new version of iWork is announced at Macworld in a couple of weeks. Only Apple knows for sure if there will be & those that do know are under non-disclosure agreements so can't say, but it is something to keep in mind. There has not been an upgrade price in the past, so you can just buy a family pack then.

IWork rebate question.

So I had ordered my Macbook online with iWork, and I need to mail in that rebate form that I got off the Apple website, but I don't think I got a UPC for the iWork. I checked the box and it wasn't on the CD holder either. Anyone have this problem too? Or any solution to it? Maybe I'm not looking in the right spot?

If you ordered online, then you should have received a confirmation email from Apple. Check your email from Apple first, at least so you have a reference number for them. If the number is not in that email, then I would contact Apple. 1-800-MY-APPLE.

Asset Manager Demo Question

When running the application it displays the words "Asset Manager" on each page in the upper left corner.
How do you edit this title?
Looked in obvious places like Shared Components: User Interface Defaults, Themes etc. but can't see the text.
I've no idea why such an important piece of text would be so difficult to find. Or maybe it's just me! :-(
Thanks!

Try checking page 0 of the application, it is probably there, so that it will carry over to ALL pages....
Thank you,

Elements 5.0 Demo Question

Is iWork just like MS Word?

Hi, Im not too familiar with iWork but is it just like MS Word for Mac? Which is more user friendly and efficient? I am a new Mac user.

To the extent that both Pages and MS Word can be used to create word processing documents, newsletters, brochures, and posters, yes they are similar. But the design philosophy behind the two programs are as dissimilar as night and day.
If you are an Office user you'll find Mac Office completely familiar though every once in a while you'll bump into a feature that isn't implemented quite the same on the Mac version as on the Windows version. And if you are an Office user, you'll probably find yourself cursing at Pages, especially in the early going as you try to create something exactly as you would have with Word.
I'm a long-time Office user and before that I used a number of other word processors including MacWord, ClarisWorks, and WordPerfect. My switch to Pages was at once frustrating and exciting. Which is more user friendly? Only you can answer that question. If you recently bought a Mac you should have an iWorks demo on your computer - it is the complete package and will expire after 30 days. You may also have a Mac Office demo - it too is the complete package which will expire after 30 days. I think you can download the Office demo from the MS website.

Where is the Numbers demo download?

I'd like to try it before I buy it. I've searched the downloads for iWork Demo and Numbers Demo... nothing. I've also checked out both http://www.apple.com/iwork/ and http://www.apple.com/support/iwork/... nothing. What am I missing here?

iWork '08 trial - almost 500MB

When is it advisable to delete iWork 08

When is it advisable to delete iWork 08 if I'm running iWork 09?

Unless you're really pressed for hard drive space, keep iWork '08. In addition to being able to save documents as '05 or '06, you can export to Flash from Keynote (a feature dropped in '09).
