I'm trying to make a time sheet and include a grid, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to print a full grid on my spreadsheet. There are options for shaded grids but I want a defined grid, and I have spent the last 2 hours looking for the answer

I'm trying to make a time sheet and include a grid, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to print a full grid on my spreadsheet. There are options for shaded grids but I want a defined grid, and I have spent the last 2 hours looking for the answer. Any ideas?

Hi Cynthia,
Are you planning to have this table do any of the calculation, or is is to be used as the electronic equivalent of a sheet of paper with a grid printed on it—a place to record the data.
For your seven column table:
Are you using one or more rows at the top of the table to label the data below? If so, you might want this row (or these rows) to be set as Header Rows.
Are you using the leftmost column to label the rows? If so, you may want this column to be a Header column.
The default table supplied on the "Blank" templates contains one header row and one header column. If you need more (or fewer) Header rows or columns, select the table, then go Table (menu) > Header Rows > (choose the number you need). Repeat to set the number of Header Columns.
To make a seven column table from the table supplied by default, click on any cell in column H (The eighth column), and drag right to add more cells to the selection, until you get to the last column of the table. With these cells selected, Go Table > Delete Columns.
To make the remaining seven columns fit across a single page:
Go View > Show Print View to show the table as it would appear when printed to paper.
Select the table by clicking its icon in the Sheets List to the left (easy method), OR by carefully clicking on the outside boundary of the table itself (fiddley method).
With the table selected, you will see square white handles at each corner and at the middle of each side (including the top and bottom).
With the mouse, grab the handle in the middle of the right side of the table and drag right (or left) until the table just fits onto the width of the defined page.
With the table still selected, set the thickness and colour of the cell boundaries using the Gaphics Inspector (as described by Jerry), or using the Stroke, Thickness and Color Well controls in the Format bar above the working portion of the Window.
Regards,
Barry

Thanks for helping me look for an answer. HD Codec for Quick Time?

Thanks everybody who sent me ideas on how to play a .mov Quick Time Movie Codec HDV 720p50, 1280x720. It's for playing on TV, as well as Mac and PC. Someone suggested H264, but I thought this is for the Internet, not for HD quality 1280x720?
Could it be that the Mac and PC people who can't play it don't have a strong enough video card in their computer? I'm looking at various answers.
I appreciate any help gratefully.
PS: I didn't see Helpful above the window, only Yes question answered and No.

if you can't play an HDV file on your computer, it most likely means you don't have the HDV codec on your computer.
It's a free download - google it and you can find it. You will have to drop the codec into your Quicktime library - it's all explained in the download. I've installed it for several people and it solves that problem right away.

Mac Newbie looking for short answers to multiple questions...

My computer experience started with the Commodore 64 in the 1980's and progressed to building my own Core Duo PC with 4 GIG RAM running 64 bit Vista Ultimate and several flavors of Linux. My only Mac experiences happened when I visited my elderly parents, who insisted on only using Mac's, generally ancient Mac's that they bought on eBay.
I was not interested at all in Macs and found the GUI very confusing to use. All that changed when my dad showed me the Mac Mini he bought. Instead of the hulking, slow, underpowered behemoths he usually used, this little machine was amazing. I had to have one, and yesterday bought a Mac Mini with superdrive and 512 MB of RAM, along with Bluetooth wireless keyboard and mouse. This was amazingly easy to set up, just starting with all of the PC stuff I have lying around.
Now, I need some one-line opinions from people who use Mac's, nothing complicated, just opinions. I don't need help configuring this machine, I just want to know what I can do with it. I find most people enjoy giving opinions!
--Is it worth it to upgrade the RAM to 2 GB? I wanted to do that at the store yesterday, but the salesman said that the procedure was too complicated in a Mac Mini to do myself, and I wanted to take the computer home right way.
--I use Photoshop Elements 5. Is it worth it to get Photoshop Elements 4 for Mac, or does my machine come with imaging editing software that does the same thing, just as well?
--I use Quicken 2007. I read a couple of reviews of Quicken for Mac from unhappy customers. Any comments?
--Can I use my existing external USB 2 or Firewire drives with my Mac Mini, even though they are partitioned as FAT32 and have many backup files from PC's on them? Do Mac Mini's write to FAT32 like Linux does, or do I have to reformat the drives?
--I use Acronis True Image to backup & image my hard drives so I can restore them if disaster occurs (as it seems to, rather often). How do you image a hard drive with a Mac, and is it worth doing?
--Is it worth it to use antivirus software on a Mac?
--Does anyone have any experience using open source software like Open Office or GIMP on a Mac?
--Are there any decent flight simulators that work on a Mac?
Please don't flame me or tell me to read the manual. I am looking for opinions, not instructions. I am also not interested in running Windows software on my Mac - I have had mixed results trying to do this under Linux, and I also have plenty of Windows machines to operate Windows software. Remember, the more people like me who are interested in switching over to Mac's, the better and cheaper the platform should become. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Glad you found your way to the Mac in the present incarnation of MacOS. Earlier flavors of it were perhaps somewhat less elegant, though I have always had a liking for the relative simplicity and the integration of features which tend to make some work more easily accomplished than on the PCs I have also used.
--Is it worth it to upgrade the RAM to 2 GB? I wanted to do that at the store yesterday, but the salesman said that the procedure was too complicated in a Mac Mini to do myself, and I wanted to take the computer home right way.
Yes, the memory upgrade is very worthwhile. A stock mac mini runs perfectly well, but when taking into account the RAM used by the on board video, and the possibility of using Rosetta if you're using any non-native software, 512Mb is really not enough for smooth operation. Indeed, you'll tend to get pauses which can become annoying, particularly if you want to run multiple applications.
The salesman really should have pointed out that while the procedure to upgrade RAM isn't really all that difficult, the mini is not intended to be opened by the user at all because there are no user serviceable parts inside. However, RAM is readily available from third party suppliers and with a little on-line research, is a fairly simple job to undertake. Two things to watch for: 1) that the memory comes from a supplier who will swap it without question, because Macs are rather more fussy about RAM than PCs tend to be, and 2), when completing the memory upgrade, ensure you reconnect the tiny fan control cable - failing to do so will leave the fan running at full blast all the time. It's an easy omission, and even the experts forget it sometimes!
--I use Photoshop Elements 5. Is it worth it to get Photoshop Elements 4 for Mac, or does my machine come with imaging editing software that does the same thing, just as well?
Depends on what kind of editing and image adjustment you generally do. The mini comes with iLife, which includes iPhoto, which has all the usual array of adjustment tools for brightness, contrast, color balance etc, plus a useful one for tilting images to straighten them if taken at an angle, but it doesn't include the filters and effects of a true image editing application. Photoshop Elements on the other hand is feature rich and easy to use, though at a cost. Personally, I don't like iPhoto much and use Photoshop Elements, though there is also a truly excellent shareware application called GraphicConverter, which started life as a tool to convert images from one format to another (hence the name) but is now a very feature-rich image processor in it's own right. Worth a look and can be tried out for free. Have a look at http://www.lemkesoft.com/xd/public/content/index.cGlkPTE5Mw.html
--I use Quicken 2007. I read a couple of reviews of Quicken for Mac from unhappy customers. Any comments?
No experience of this personally, but I'd check those reviews and any others you can find to see what it is the writers liked or didn't like about using the software, and see if that helps you. There are always unhappy customers though, so reviews in magazines may be more objective.
--Can I use my existing external USB 2 or Firewire drives with my Mac Mini, even though they are partitioned as FAT32 and have many backup files from PC's on them? Do Mac Mini's write to FAT32 like Linux does, or do I have to reformat the drives?
You can use your FAT32 formatted drives with the Mac though you are limited to files of 4Gb maximum.
--I use Acronis True Image to backup & image my hard drives so I can restore them if disaster occurs (as it seems to, rather often). How do you image a hard drive with a Mac, and is it worth doing?
It IS worth doing, yes. I use SuperDuper! which is first rate and free for making complete duplicates of a drive, or $29 for the paid/registered version to allow incremental backups. Works like a charm. If you use a drive partitioned in the GUID scheme (as the mini's internal is) you can even then set that drive, and the cloned copy of your system to boot the mini.
--Is it worth it to use antivirus software on a Mac?
Personally I'd say yes. ClamXav is open source (thus free) and reliable, has a marginal hit on CPU load and helps ensure you don't inadvertently pass on infections (it can also spot types of malware such as phishing scames). As yet, however, there are no known viruses/worms/trojans that affect MacOS, so it isn't critical at this time. However at some point it is likely there will be - in my view it's better to be prepared than to be left to react at the time.
--Does anyone have any experience using open source software like Open Office or GIMP on a Mac?
Yes. Like all open source projects, there are some good and some bad, but by and large the open source community for MacOS based systems is active and effective. Both Open Office and Gimp work well for example.
--Are there any decent flight simulators that work on a Mac?
X-Plane springs to mind.
There really are very few people you'll find in Apple Discussions who would flame you for asking such questions. Indeed, answering such things is one of the prime reasons we're here, and while there's always value in reading the manuals, it must also be said that in many ways getting useful information out of them means you have to know enough already to be able to work out what information you need from all the stuff available. Questions are easier to ask and pertinent information easier to give as a result!

Do you mean a freebie editor, as opposed to Flex Builder or
the plug-in for Eclipse?

If ur looking for best answer, I suggest you.

there's Alot of customers who have not solved the issues, even I have an issues with my iPhone since the new upgrade. I tried calling, it was a long hold and also wastes of time so I hung up. I had problem
with wifi and freezing application, I tried going on apple online support to find the answer for this. I seen so many I mean billions of comment and I got too tired of looking for it so I just used google and typed down what the problem I was having, guess what... It works like charm everythi g on my iPhone works perfectly fine. So my opinion is just google seach them and also make sure u type in for example I typed in iphone 2.0 version wifi problem and there's a list but all of them were helpful they answer faster than calling or searching on apple and macworld.com. So that's my opinion. Remeber take ur time reading it. Good luck with the search.

I also found this case from amazon and it works great for $6

Can't boot up but looking for new answers

I've looked on this forum back about three months but can't quite pin down the problem. I've got a MacBook from early 2008. We just bought it from a third party, and he had installed OS X v10.6. He did not include the original start-up disk(s) or any documentation (or the power cord, for that matter). Initially my husband booted it up, which took 17 minutes. He then shut it down to wait for me to arrive home. When I booted it up the next day, all I got was a white screen and the folder with question mark. I got my hands on a 10.5 disk and have been using that in various ways (C and D on start-up) and after several minutes the disk will eject spontaneously. A while ago this happened, and I just popped the disk back in, and after a few minutes I got a dark screen with a tiny line in the upper left corner of the screen. Nothing happened after that and I eventually shut it down.
I am able to get it into Target mode, but the G5 I have (on 10.5.8) doesn't mount it, so I can't even run disk utility.
I've taken the battery off and hit the power button for 5-10 seconds. I've taken out and put back in the RAM boards. I've switched their positions.
I've tried starting it up in single-user mode, but it won't do it. The power light won't come on, and the "caps lock" light doesn't come on. If I start it up with the option key pressed, the mouse pointer appears and responds to the track pad but then locks up after a few minutes. (This is the ONLY time the mouse pointer ever shows up).
It's looking like the guy who sold it to us is going to be a creep and not take it back. So if there's anything to be done, I would REALLY appreciate the help!!
Thanks ...
Lisa

Honestly, it sounds like this system has some pretty serious issues, and will likely need some expensive repairs. So, you can try taking the seller to small claims court for the cost of the machine, but ultimately you're probably just going to have to accept that you got ripped off and eat the cost. But take it to an Apple Store or AASP in your area to get them to diagnose what's wrong with it. My guess is they're going to say logic board, which will probably cost about as much as you paid for the system. But maybe there's something simple and cheap they can find.
Sorry you ended up getting ripped off, that's never fun. A repair estimate may help if you go to small claims court, and it is unlikely to hurt. If you decide to not go to small claims court, then be sure to name and shame the seller everywhere. However, that WILL likely HURT your chances of winning in small claims court, so only do it after or if you rule that option out.

Looking for an Answer About Upgrading

Hello Droid Friends,
I am looking to upgrade from a Samsung 510 still on the Alltel network, to the Incredible and I am still a bit worried I don't have all the answers I need. I have talked to 3 different associates and have had totally different answers. I am currently sharing a plan with someone and we both want the upgrade since our previous contract is up and has been up for quite a few months now. I spoke with a Verizon Associate on an in store visit and asked if there is any possible way we could keep our current Alltel promotion which was one of the last that Alltel was doing before Verizon bought them. Its the Friends and Family 10 (1000 Minutes and Texts shared between 2 lines). The Associate I spoke with said it was possible to keep that and upgrade to new devices the only addition is the $29.99 data package per phone. I want to know if there has been anyone who had the same package I currently have and has had a succesful upgrade to the Incredible without picking new minutes and texts separately. If anyone has any information they could share with me about this topic, it would be greatly appreciated.
Also I have noticed that Wal-Mart carries Verizon phones and since newer phones are often more expensive and considering how everything we buy has gone up in price, I wanted to get the best bargain I can. I have considered going to them to get an upgrade. Rather than spending about $300 for two phones I could spend about $75 and get the same thing. I have watched quite a few people walk in and walk out of Wal-Mart with new phones and it takes just about as long to do the switch. If anyone in the community has gone that route I'd really like to hear about it as well.
Thank You for you opinions and advice.

if you go anyplace other then verizon, they will ask you to pick a current vzw plan. they dont have the same option that vzw has.
you will then have to change it back. if its an alltell plan the chance of going back to it is no very good
yes you payless at places other then vzw for hardware, but they cant do things like verizon can
what i do since i have a verizon promoplan is to call cs and do my transactions through them.
yes im paying more for the hardware, but the $40 a month i save on service makes it worth it
i would attempt it this way. if they say you cant keep the plan, hang up and try a diff csr

Lot's of questions...Looking for some answers

I was wondering if anybody knows if this is do-able,
or even worth trying to do.
I have been producing local dance show DVD's for the past couple of years...
Not in HD, but I do shoot with multiple high end 3-chip cameras,
and the finished DVD's do have indexed menus for easy selections.
Here's my question:
I need to upgrade to HD equipment but I can't do it all at once.
I'm thinking about purchasing a camera that shoots in AVCHD and was wondering how much of a headache it may become to edit combined with my present cameras.
I'd like to intermix my SD footage with the new AVCHD foootage (converted to Pro-res),
can this be done and multi-camera edited?
Also,
would I be able to set the HD camera as my wide shot,
and then zoom in & keyframe my motion of this shot to follow the action in post?
My thinking was that I could probably zoom in to about 130% and still have better
quality than my SD cameras. (Also, my pans & zooms would be flawless)
I have a G5 Quad (Power PC) running OS X 10.4.11
and a Macbook-Pro (Intel) running OS X 10.5.8.
Both systems are presently using FCP-6.0.4.
So here are my questions:
Is it possible?
Is it worth it?
And is AVCHD a good choice to upgrade to?
Thanks for any & all advise/opinions,
Todd

The HMC40, or even something consumerish like the Canon Vixia, will shoot great looking stuff as long as it's not too low-light. AVCHD is automatically transcoded to ProRes upon Log and Transfer, so you shouldn't have to worry about that... though you'll save some HD space and increase your multicam streams if you upgrade to FCP7 and use ProRes (LT) instead.
If your final output is SD DVD, then you can indeed zoom up on the HD footage a bit and do some simple keyframing.
Multicam may require you to transcode your SD footage to the same codec (in this case ProRes), perhaps someone can confirm that.
Too bad Apple sees fit to insist upon transcoding H.264 to ProRes, when Adobe and Avid have proven it's not necessary... (cough)

Looking for AIR app with the following features

This list of functionalities is so common I thought I'd check to see if anyone knows an opensource or even commericial app with the following features.
Access User's File System
Drag & Drop Upload
Does anyone know of an AIR project that already exists?
I could write this myself but I'd rather not reinvent the wheel with a 2 week deadline.
Thanks

Hi A-Mo,
I'm very sorry that your husband's PowerShot SD1100 IS was stolen!
The SD camera line has been replaced by the PowerShot ELPH lineup. These cameras are improved in a number of important ways, such as better zoom lenses, and sensitivity to light for existing light photography.
I recommend that you consider the PowerShot ELPH 310 HS. This camera has an 8x optical zoom lens (vs. 3x for the PowerShot SD1100 IS), has a higher ISO of 3200 (vs. 1600) for low light photography and shoots video in "full" high definition (1920 x 1080 resolution) (vs. 640 x 480).
Please note: none of the cameras in this group of cameras includes the optical viewfinder you had on the PowerShot SD1100 IS,
I hope this is helpful.

Yet ANOTHER person looking for an answer to a dreaded Time Machine Error

"Unable to complete backup..." I have a dedicated 2Tb Lacie "Bigger" disk that Time Machine has been effectively backing up to since April 2008. In the last two weeks I've started getting this error. "Unable to complete backup. An error occurred while creating the backup directory."
After reading the very convoluted and differing solutions to this problem, some that seemed to work for only a few, and some that don't seem to work for anyone, here's what I've done so far with NO results.
I'm running Leopard (with the most recent update - 10.5.6) on a 24" imac.
Step 1. Run Disk Utility to scan the disk for errors - No problems detected.
Step 2. Run Disk Utility to verify the disk - No problems detected.
Step 3. Trash the preferences, both in the system library and the user library, where I found them.
Step 4. Disk Utility - Zero the drive (10 hours btw) and reformatted with Journaling enabled, and a Re-name of the drive.
Step 5. Restart iMac, and upon prompting by the launcher, confirmed that Yes, I would like to use "new name" for Time Machine backups.
Step 6. Wait patiently for 116 seconds for Time Machine to start the first backup.
Step 7. Proceed to slam forehead (repeatedly) into desk when I got the error again after this 20 hour process.
I then proceeded to repeat this process thinking that maybe I'd forgetten a step.
I thought it may be a cable or port issue, so I changed the port that I was using on my drive...NO - the cable is fine, since we tested it on my husbands machine. No connectivity problems.
I thought it may be that I was missing an update, Nope.
I turned off the sleep mode, thinking that it was not able to access the drive effectively. No.
Then I started thinking that maybe there was a corrupted file. Who knows?
Does ANYONE have a suggestion? I am currently without a backup, since I erased my drive. I can do a manual back up, but I don't want to erase the drive again..since it takes forever.

I did not say anything about changing a drive name. What I referred to was the Computer Name as set in Sharing preferences. This is how TM identifies the machine with the backup contained in the Backups.backupd folder.
I would start looking at your console log entries to see what information it provides on the backup when it produces the error. This could be a permissions related problem for all one knows, although it's odd that the problem occurs immediately after you erase the backup drive and start anew.
When you prepared the external drives were they partitioned using APM and formatted Mac OS X Extended (Journaled?) I would also check the drive permissions. Select the drive and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the Ownership and Sharing section at the bottom be sure the box labeled "Ignore permissions on this ..." is UNchecked. Standard permissions should be:
Owner=system with r/w privileges
Group=admin with r/w privileges
Everyone is read-only
If these aren't the same, then click on the lock icon, authenticate with your admin password, then change them accordingly. If you don't have a system or admin entry then click on the [+] button. You should be able to select Administrators and add it to the Group list. However, a system user will not exist when you try to add it, so click on the option for a new user. Enter system as the username (all lowercase) then enter and confirm your admin password. You can then add system as a user. Then set the privileges as above. Remove all other users by selecting them and clicking on the [-] button. You cannot delete yourself, but you can change your privileges to read-only.

Oracle 11g ASM - looking for some answers

Hello,
I reviewed a bunch of stuff about Oracle 11g ASM from various sources, but still haven't figured out some answers. Perhaps someone could help me to find the missing links please.
Q1) ASMLib seems to require partitions. ASM recognizes partitions as well as disk devices. So why not using partitions in general? At least I could use ASMLib later without having to reconfigure the drives and loosing all data. Correct?
Q2) The ASMLib driver is not installed by default, and unlike other ASM components is not available from the public yum repository for OEL 5.5. After some searching I found it available for download, but why is it not more obvious. Should it not be used anymore? http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linux/downloads/rhel5-084877.html
Q3) ASM will not see drives or partitions unless the device ownership is set to Oracle. When Enterprise Linux starts, it resets all block devices to the owner of root. The solution is to create a udev rules file: e.g.:
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-oracle.rules:
KERNEL=="sda", OWNER="oracle", GROUP="dba", MODE="0660"
KERNEL=="sdb", OWNER="oracle", GROUP="dba", MODE="0660"
Before using ASMLlib, I need to configure the driver, which will ask me for the default user and group who owns the partitions (/etc/init.d/oracleasm configure)
I conclude that using ASMLib will therefore not require a udev rules file, correct?
Q4) The Oracle documentation outlines that ASMLIB is an application programming interface (API) developed by Oracle to simplify the operating system–to-database interface and to exploit the capabilities of vendors' storage arrays on Linux-based systems. What does this mean, examples? Isn't this what ASM does in general, why ASMLIB?
Q5) I installed ASM and would like to re-configure it. Apparently ASM alone does not provide an interface other than sqlplus. In order use ASM with Enterprise Manager, I need to install a database or EM 11g (?) Grid control. Correct?
Thanks,
Markus

Hi,
So you got answers for 3 4 and 5
Q1) ASMLib seems to require partitions. ASM recognizes partitions as well as disk devices. So why not using partitions in general? At least I could use ASMLib later >without having to reconfigure the drives and loosing all data. Correct?Using ASMLib, you can use your understandable disk partitions names rather than creating raw devices and adding entry in /etc/raw file and changing rights on every startup, so it makes life easier. Read post of "wcoekaer" from following thread
ASMLib and Linux block devices
Q2) The ASMLib driver is not installed by default, and unlike other ASM components is not available from the public yum repository for OEL 5.5. After some >searching I found it available for download, but why is it not more obvious. Should it not be used anymore? http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/topics/linux/downloads/rhel5-084877.html
I am not sure about OEL 5, but i have seen it in OEL 4 and i can install this package during OEL 4 installation. But i believe you should be able to find this package in one of the Disks of OEL 5

Old Topic, looking for newer answers....iMac (Late 08 model) shuts off

Hi all, I've posted this topic before but became really busy and was unable to troubleshoot this problem to the fullest. Long and short is that my iMac decides to shut off on it's own. I've ran the hardware test months ago with the code saying that the temperature control was messed up. I've since taken my iMac to an Apple service center where they have changed the display and the power source and I'm still having problems. I've surpassed the Apple warranty and was dumb enough to not get the AppleCare for this system.
A little more details, temperatures of core components (the ones that iStat Pro would show) seem to be normal. Nothing is over 120 F yet my CPU fan is spinning at nearly 4k rpm. For whatever reason, when this fan kicks in, the computer likes to shut off, even if temps aren't that high. Has anyone else experienced this? I know I'm going to either have get a new computer or face the bill for repair, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Lastly, I've tried running the Hardware test before posting this and the dang test won't launch. I'm losing too much hair people, please help!

Ok, figured out the hardware code, it is: 4SNS/1/40000000: TpOP-131.000. Any takers?

Looking for definitive answer: Outlook 2010 Notes will/will not sync with iPhone 5 with iOS v7.1.2 ?

Everyone, I have read the message board posting/response for just about every iteration of this topic I could find. I have read (and tried!!!) as many knowledge base articles as I could find. Bottom line: I feel I've tried everything I could, and I assure you, I have done a good bit of "hair tearing out" about this. Nothing in the "user friendly" world of "smartphones" in the year 2014 should be this **** complicated.
Moving on... I have a PC (viewing my iCloud account), an iPhone and an iPad with Notes that sync very harmoniously. In fact, everything that I have set to sync does so. However, I use Microsoft Outlook 2010 (Exchange version) and although I have uninstalled the functionality, I have tried the Outlook <--> iCloud sync. I uninstalled it because it was very problematic. I'm pretty good with computers, and all of the issues surrounding "the Cloud" so far in the year I've had an iPhone have seemed to be of an excessive number.
So... I welcome concrete suggestions, or more welcome... an answer.
Thank you!!

Everyone, I have read the message board posting/response for just about every iteration of this topic I could find. I have read (and tried!!!) as many knowledge base articles as I could find. Bottom line: I feel I've tried everything I could, and I assure you, I have done a good bit of "hair tearing out" about this. Nothing in the "user friendly" world of "smartphones" in the year 2014 should be this **** complicated.
