Just got iwork 08
I just got iwork 08 and I could really use some advice.
I work in a recording studio and I need to keep records of maybe 10/15 projects at once.I need to keep detailed notes of each piece and it would be useful if I had a master index of some kind.
Could anybody suggest a suitable template that would lend itself to this situation please?
D
Actually I think you would be better off with a database for such a project. Something like Bento or the top of the line FileMaker Pro.
But maybe some of the more experienced iWork folks here can offer more help with maybe using Numbers for you.
You can check out Bento here:

Just got iWork '09 and I'm loving it, but......
Here's the issue: I also have MS Office that I use strictly for MS Spreadsheets and Word Documents that I work on with Windows. I bought iWork '09 because I wanted more integration between OS X, iTunes, iWeb, iPhoto, etc. and I LOVE the new interface.
But here's the issue: in MS Excel, whenever I hit Command+S it just saves. In iWork, every freakin' time I hit Command+S the save window comes up. EVERY time!!! Is there an auto-save feature or a preference that whenever I hit Command+S it JUST saves???
Or am I literally stuck with this annoyance?I am not seeing the behavior you are seeing. After an initial save, pressing CMD-s simply re-saves the document without seeing the save prompt (including after importing Excel documents, after the initial save as Numbers document).
I assume when you save the file, it is where you saved it, correct?
If so, are you saving to a different drive or different partition? Saving to a folder that has permission issues? Do you have some 3rd party backup or security software running? Do you have any issues opening the file that you saved? Does the same thing happen with Pages? I'm thinking there must be something tricking Numbers into believing the file is not there after the save.

Just got a new imac and my iwork software wont work. I have the serial numbers but after migrating from my old mac running OSX tiger it won't even give me that opportunity. I do not have any discs as this was downloaded. Help
Hi, hopefully you guys can help me out, I just
purchased a G5 iMac to replace my aging dell desktop,
and now i'm more or less completely os x dependant
(I've had an ibook for a few months now). Anyway, I
have a few questions:
1. Does anyone know of a (free) mail notifier tool,
that will alert me when I recieve new pop3 mail? I
used to use AIM for this in windows
The built in email program does sound an alert for new messages.
2. Anyone know of a good (free, again) IRC client?
iChat works well.
3. I noticed earlier that my screen was flickering,
it seems to have subsided for now, but is that normal
to encounter in a new display? It wasn't really bad
flicker, but I could see it.
No idea.
4. I leave my desktops on 24/7x365, will that be a
problem with this iMac? Display shuts off of course
after 30 mins
You could set the iMac to go to sleep after non use. My Macs are
always sleeping when not in use, waking them up takes seconds.
Unlike windoze, never knew if it would be locked up or not.
5. Should I get the extended warranty? I'm usually
against them, but I am expecting this computer to
last me at least 3 years (for $1300 it better!)
before I upgrade, as I got that much out of a Dell
and from what I understand, Mac's do not age nearly
as fast as Windows pc's.
It is well worth the cost. Never know what might happen. Also
it is good insurance for future upgrades. I traded in my G4 tower
purchased two years ago for 75% of what I paid for it. Apple care
transfers, giving the buyer the remainder of your warranty.
Thank you for any help,

Just got a mini iPad 2-4-14 will i be able to get numbers and keynotes on mac for free
just got a mini ipad on the 10-4-2014 which has numbers and keynotes apps on it will i be able to get on mac
no you can't get it free on your mac , because the mac version of iwork( keynote,pages,numbers) is more complicated than the ipad version.But if you have bought your mac in 2013/2014 you can get it free in the mac app store

Just got my Mac air and i would like to make a file to store some web addresses for my new business with rodan and fields and I can't do it. Made the file but i cant copy and paste the web addresses in the file to save them. Please help and thank you.
Yes - well you have to make the file in a word processing Application.
You could use TextEdit (it's free) Pages (words only), or Numbers (data base) (they are part of iWorks - and may or may not be free (included) on your machine. You could use MS Office (it is not free) You could use any Open source word processor that plays well with Office (NeoOffice, StarOffice) they are free.
That's how you create content and copy/paste URLS. Then you save the file to the desktop. If you are going to make more than one file... you make a folder on the desktop and save, or drag the file(s) into it.
You attach it to your e-mail client which will compress it and e-mail it. An excellent reference is to use Help, from the menu bar, also from inside any application. From your library or book store the OS X for Dummies has a lot of useful information (you don't read it cover to cover but look up chapters about what you'd like to do)
You can also make appointments at your local Apple store for individualized help (if a store is nearby) -

Hi. I just got a new iPad. How to I move my Game Center games from my old iPod? My family uses one Apple ID, and I keep getting another
Family member's Game Center on my iPad!Okay so I figured out the solution by reading other discussions. Basically you need to delete on your phone the icloud account and start up a new icloud account with a new email address. This is nice because you can still share apps without getting everyone elses things. The only thing that didn't get worked out was the notes...
On your phone go to settings and then icloud, scroll down and delete the account. Then just make a new icloud under a new email. -

just got Prosoft drive genius 3 software, and it's telling me that the external hard drive that i am using for my time machine back up drive needs to be defragmented. is it wise to do this or should i not??
Let's hope a couple things: that you have bootable clones of your drives also; that the backup drive for TimeMachine has over 3x capacity of the data you plan and are storing. I would also switch TM backup drives so you have a 2nd.
Fragmented free space affecting performance happens when the drive is too full which may mean there isn't enough free space for a full backup set.
1.5TB for backing up 500GB, while WD Green 3TB is $140 and WD Black 1.5TB is, about the same price.
I'd be worried about the integrity and directory, and whether you can afford to lose that drive. Defragging is also a very slow operation. the ideal: to just clone a drive, or start over with another drive and wait. cloning TM volumes has not been done or has it? SuperDuper hoped to but I don't think they or Bombich's CCC made it there.
Trouble with highly fragged is when free space gets to 20% normally, 1/3 or so though for TM volumes, and finding where and a chunk of space for the file being written. Does TM use large spare image files of like 2GB?
Best would be to ask in the TimeMachine section Snow Leopard
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.6_snow_leopard?view= discussions#/?tagSet=1009
where there are some good FAQ and tutorials, and people that know the ins-and-outs and shortcomings. -

Apple has a 90 warranty warranty on all of their repairs. You should take your computer back to the repair shop. Or call Apple Customer Relations (800) 767-2775. Wait for a human to come on the line and ask politely and firmly that you want to be transferred over to the Customer Relations department. Tell them your issue.

Well you see, I just got this new Ipod 5G that I really wanted but something went wrong when I tried to sync it with Itunes. It said that the ipod needed 10.7 Itunes but clearly I had not so late version 10.6.3. And I can't update my itunes because it is at the point where it can not update for now so I don't know when it will ever update to 10.7 but right now I am stuck on 10.6.3. And if I can't get it to update how will I be able to sync my music into this new ipod, what should I do?
You need to buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD or use a combination of these instructions and iTunes Match to put content onto the iPod touch.

Hi there wendyfromnewross,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Can't connect to the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.
Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router.
If the issue persists, try troubleshooting your Wi-Fi networks and connections.

I just got a new iphone 3GS and was trying to sync it with my itunes information from my old phone. However, I keep getting multiple error messages and after the sync is complete, I find that everything has transferred except my purchased itunes music and voice memos (I record my class lectures). I am not sure what I can do to fix this. Any ideas?
The error messages are:
-"Attempting to copy to the disk 'My Iphone' failed. An unknown error occured (-69)."
-"The iphone 'My Iphone' cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all the items in itunes library."
-"The iphone 'My Iphone' cannot be synced. An unknown error occured (13010)."
