Looking for Mac Software to run a DJ Company.
I need some assistance for a software package that will allow me to book gigs for my DJ company.
The list is long:
- create a contract on my Mac (and would be a + if you could do all of the things on an iPhone)
- without retyping all the customers information again print an envelope and a preset cover letter, and request sheet.
- have field for received deposit or paid in full
- ability to change terms and conditions
- generate mass email
- generate postal mailings to send Anniversary or Birthday cards to clients easily and quickly
- once you send out that mailing, have a check box to remove customer from mailing list (IE they moved and mail was returned so you don't waste postage on your next mailing)
- ability to input how many brides maids and groomsmen are in the party and it adjusts the bridal intro sheet. Also has space for songs to be played duringing intros, blessing, toast, garter, bouquet etc.
- Has web enabled version so clients can see what dates are available and what dates are booked
My biggest problem is, when I book 1 job, I need to copy and paste info from one form to another. I'm looking to automate most of that process. I'd also like to have the ability when potential client calls my iPhone, I can check the date, book the job so the client sees their date is reserved on the web site, generate a contract on iPhone and email to the customer to book on the spot.
I can't find any entertainment booking software for the Mac, so I'll be happy with whatever I find. If you can write the application in FileMaker or some other means I'm all ears.

Hi djgeorge,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
To be frankly honest I think your going to have trouble.
Let's go through it piece by piece
You could use MS Word or Pages to create documentation etc, those programs have the ability to work with templates on a large scale.
You can find many mass emailer programs, take your pick.
I don't know how you would geterate postal mailings for birthdays etc, a bit of scripting and work with iCal possibly?
FileMaker Pro is very useful for databasing information and for creating automated responses etc. I'm fairly sure you can manage online content as well.
That's the best I currently have.
I will look around though.
Kind Regards,
Peter.
There is some software such as FileMaker Pro which is good generating email etc en mass.
You could probably use AppleScript or Automator and iCal to send

Am looking for a photo editing program comparable to Microsoft's Digital Image of which I had great success. I have tried quite a few other programs but they just don't match up. I could create posters, greeting cards , change hues,paintbrush, touch up photos,cut out items from pictures etc.etc. Please,anyone lead me to a good program for my Mac.
You may want to try iPhoto, which was preinstalled on your Mac, or Aperture, Photoshop Elements, GIMP, GraphicConverter, Acorn, or any of the many other apps you can find by entering "photo editor" into the search box in the App Store application. A lot of these will run rings around Microsoft's lightweight offering.

Looking for Mac software that manages text messages on Nokia 6300
iSync only manages contacts and calendar. How do I send and receive text messages on my Mac? I would greatly appreciate it if anyone in the forum can give a hint. I have been using Nokia PC Suite in VMWare Fusion and it was very slow and annoying. Thanks in advance.
1) it can't read text messages from my Nokia phone;
If you look at the compatibility list you'll see that its because your phone does not provide a public way to read SMS over Bluetooth. So, nothing that can be done about that.
2) I am still trying to find out how I can send a message to many recipients at the same time.
Just enter more than one number into the TO field of a message. You can also send to Address Book groups. -
I am looking for DVD software suitable for Mac Pro.
I just buy an Mac Pro. I used to Window software and new user on Apple software. Now, I am learning it. My 1st question is how to transfer the window version software from my old laptop to the new Apple Mac Pro laptop.
Besides, I also looking for DVD software. Any suggestion ?Boot Camp is part of OS X. The data from your old PC can be transferred to the Mac. You may be able to open the old PC files without installing Windows depending on how they were created on the PC. Most files created with Office can be opened with the Apple software; Pages, Numbers and Keynote. I have nothing from Microsoft on my Mac and I am able to open just about everything I am sent from Windows without any problems.
iMovie is an application that allows you to create DVDs of your own movie clips.
In System Preferences > CDs & DVDs you should set When you insert a video DVD to Open DVD Player.

I couldn't find an appropriate category for this question. I'm looking for PDF software for my Mac. Adobe Acrobat Writer is ridiculously expensive so I'm wondering if anyone else uses another PDF writer. Also wondering how old a version of Adobe Writer will run on my 2006 Intel MacBook.
A basic work around, with a few possible issues, may be to use the
Print option to 'save as pdf' so using another application and see if
this works (outside of saving a web page or other content) with a
word processing application, such as Text Edit.
There may be a way to use an older Adobe Acrobat (for OS X) in
the later version on Intel hardware, since it may be able to work
in Rosetta environment; this will consume more system resources
if it does work there. The ideal minimum system requirements are
on the retail packaging for Adobe Acrobat related products; so the
manufacturer's web page or some other information source may be
able to shed more light on these details in obsolete software.
Of course, since the Intel Mac can't run Classic/9 that limits useful
yet out of date other versions of older Acrobat or Adobe products.
There should be a support forum for Adobe acrobat and other apps
directly linked to their site online.
There may be some freeware or shareware capable of making .pdfs
from other documents, not sure how advanced they'd be. For a time
I had a few freeware utilities for working with .pdf items, to combine
and compress; and break them smaller so I could email them, some
years ago when attachments had to be smaller than in gmail.
In a google search window, you could find and screen some possible
options; I noticed (without entering mac or osx) I get some options in
a list possible pre-search topics when just entering ' make pdf ' in a
new google search box; other choices appear below my entry...
By adding the suffix ' mac os x ' to my search terms, I get proof of
concept (been using it for years) of making a pdf document from
a text editor or word processor document, by using Print options:
"How to create adobe acrobat PDF documents"
http://clc.its.psu.edu/Labs/Mac/help/software/howtocreatepdfs.aspx
There may be a freeware utility among the download links at
VersionTracker or macupdate pages; among their other items.
Also, in Apple Support there are third party software D/L links.
In shareware applications for handling pdf content, there are
editors which allow one to edit or use pdf documents that are
blank or need words added, and correct or fill them out; or
to change content on documents you have authorization for.
This usually costs. A few may provide a limited use demo.
An example of a shareware editor tool (not free) is this one:
PDF Editor Tool - PDF Studio - edit pdf on Linux, Mac, Windows:

looking for mac os x 10.6.8
If you're running Mac OS X 10.5.8 or earlier on an Intel Mac, phone the online Apple Store and order a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.
If you're running Mac OS X 10.6 through 10.6.7, run the Software Update pane of System Preferences.

If i go to general and look for the software update button, there is not one on my ipad2. What do i do then?
If you have an iPad 1, the max iOS is 5.1.1. For newer iPads, the current iOS is 6.0.1. For the iPad Mini the iOS is 6.0.2. The Settings>General>Software Update only appears if you have iOS 5.0 or higher currently installed.

If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPad to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPad under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily. Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

I am looking for gujarati software to brows on internet can any body help ?
Why apple stores do not have any help regarding software for languages ????
I am looking for Mac compatible Gujarati software so that I can read Gujarati news papers on Internet and can also type in Gujarati fonts.I am puzzled by your question, since Apple has provided support for reading Unicode gujarati and devanagari and other indic scripts for many years already.
Could you tell me whether you have any problem with these sites?
http://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/
http://gu.wikipedia.org/wiki/
In OS X, typing is provided by keyboards you will find in system preferences/language & text/input sources. Are you not able to find or use these for some reason?
Apple does not provide support for the obsolete technology used by non-Unicode websites in these scripts. For that you will have to download and install yourself the custom non-standard fonts which those websites normally provide. -

Is there a way to search for Mac software at http://www.apple.com/downloads/?
Thanks.Thanks, Michael, for your response. I was actually looking for a way to search for apps by subject, kind of like how App Store works for iPhone apps. For instance, if I type in 'mail' in the Search box in the iPhone Apps Store it will search for all apps in the mail category. The search box for apps at apple.com does not appear to work like that. Is there a way to search for Mac apps in a particular category?
Thanks! -
