Exactly what "app" did your teacher give you?

  • External Harddrives - Manufacturers using the words 'for Mac'?

    Hi,
    I've learnt about the difference between PC and Mac HDD formats, and was about to buy an external HDD when something got me questioning my knowledge. I see that some manufacturers use the words 'for Mac' in their product name. And that the models with 'for Mac' in the name are about 20% more expensive than the same model name without the 'for Mac' wording. Eg
    http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=700
    http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.asp?driveid=719
    The manufacturer specs don't seem to explain anything, so I wanted to ask here: are these products exactly the same, except that the 'for Mac' version comes pre-formatted in HFS Plus?
    Can I just buy the standard model, and then do the formatting myself with Disc Utility?
    I questioned my knowledge, because it seems daft that a manufacturer can charge 20% more just for pre-formatting the disc in the correct format. Is there anything special about the 'for Mac' models?
    Are there any other considerations I need to make? Is there anything special I need for the disc to work with Time Machine?
    Thanks,
    Yeti

    Hi Yeti
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can reset the Partitions Scheme and Format of most all off the shelf External HD's. I have several that came MS-DOS/FAT-32 that I have changed to GUID Partition Table/Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    See > http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/partitioningtiger.html
    Some manufactures include partitions with windoz backup programs that should be eliminated, as they are of no use to you anyway.
    Time Machine will format the drive to it's own liking, however I always reset the Partition Scheme and Format to make sure it is properly cleaned and setup.
    See: Time Machine 101 > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
    and Time Machine -- Frequently Asked Questions > http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1964018
    Lastly you might want to consider a desktop drive over a portable for Time Machine, Time Machine need lots of room and you can get more GB for your money.

  • HT204655 My photos won't import into Word for Mac after OS X upgrade

    After upgrading to the new OS X Yosemite does anyone know how to import photos into Word or Excel for Mac? That library is now grayed out for me and I am in mid-project on Word. I used to be able to copy and paste right into my document, now it seems I must exclusively work within the Photos program.

    I actually found that the issue started for me after the MS Office update last week. It was originally working fine with the new Photos for Mac App until the MS Office update. Now Word can't find the photo browser, it only shows Photo Booth. I also can't drag drop photos from the Mac App into Word, like I used to be able to. At the moment I export the photos to a directory then I can input from file in Word. That works, but it's a bit untidy.
    I'm thinking off trying the Office 2016 for Mac, which are available now as demos. Unfortunately Microsoft don't reply to questions that are raised, so I'm not sure what the underlying issue is with photo's not working.

  • Hi!  My magic mouse won't scroll in word for mac - but it scrolls in safari and outlook.  So frustrating!

    I just upgraded to OS X Yosemite and am using Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 version 14.4.5.  My magic mouse no longer scrolls in word - though I can click on things with the magic mouse.  And the magic mouse scrolls in safari and outlook.  Any thoughts?

    I had the same problem. I just quit Word and restarted and it worked. I tried with a new document just to try it at first and when that worked, I tried it on the document I was working on and it was fixed!

  • I erased some unnecessary fonts and now my MacBook won't display any words/icons? Apps aren't working as well. Help!

    I tried to fix it but I'm not sure how without seeing any apps/ words/ files

    Well, that depends on which OS you are running; in any case you will need to reinstall your OS since the fonts are part of the system.
    So, if you have an install disk, boot from it, and reinstall your OS. If you have Lion or newer, use recovery (Command + R during startup or restart) and choose to reinstall the OS.

  • How to locate photos in finder through the Photos for Mac app?

    Hi, is there an option to locate where the photos are saved in finder through the Photos app. This feature was available in iPhoto but I am unable to locate it in Photos.

    I am also curious about this. What's the point of using a photo management app that will not produce changes in the finder? People are already complaining that they've had problems with the upgrade from iPhoto to Photos. If Photos becomes obsolete again, I want to make sure that I have all my pictures properly organized in folders. Is there any way to make this happen in Photos?

  • Issues with Microsoft Word for mac closing when I try to open old or newly downloaded documents

    When I download a document from my professor, or try to open an older document, my word automatically quits. If it's already closed and I try to open a document, it will show the dot at the bottom of the icon that it's loading to open but it quickly disappears and quits itself. Is anyone else experiencing this issue or know what I can do to fix it? Thanks.

  • Re too many layers in word for mac

    Hi all,
    I use word and have done for 15 years. I am very fond of what is is capable of. usually.
    However when it comes to designing charts which have multiple images and text boxes and shapes and layers it is not great.
    I have tried grouping and messed around in publishing mode to rearrange layers but the whirly cog of doom starts spinning and its tedious and unreliable.
    Now i know the macbook has oodles of ram so its definitely just  a word issue.
    so either it isnt really designed for doing lots of layers or at least its isnt coping well.
    So do i bite the bullet and buy photoshop? or is there some similar package that will create 16 boxes and let me edit text and then layer pictures in jpeg form and allow me to resize and move em all about without feeling like im about to crash the program?
    I do weekly alot of work in word and am used to the fonts, insert menus etc . incidentally I tried Pages but it wasnt any better at handling lots of boxes and didnt seem to be pixel accurate when copying and pasting.
    what do you guys/girls use out there in design world. Open to suggestions. im downloading a trial of photoshop essentials but im not sure it will do lots of boxes and allow text etc.
    or do i painstakingly print to pdf and re insert. quite daunting as i intend making 50 or so of these charts for a project im organising and it will take forever.
    Learning curve must be easier with the right tools?

  • Why does word for mac 2011 error

    When I am using the word for mac that came installed on my Mac Book Pro, it frequently errors and has to close and I loose my work.  Even though I choose the option to send the report and recover my work, i have lost many things.
    Why does this happen?

    To my knowledge, Apple does not supply MacBook Pros with MS Word installed.
    Pls specify exactly what app and what version you are talking about. If it is really MS Word, then it's possible it wasn't correctly installed. You should re-install MS Office, and then update it, if applicable.

  • Word for mac is failing and always asking me to format another disc..kindly help me

    Hello there, i'm using macbook pro bought in late 2011. I;m using word for mac and recently the programme kep on crashing and i was not able to autosave my work. ive tried varifying my disc and it still not working. Can i remove and reinstall my mac office. Would it effect my office document that is already saved in my notebook.
    Kindly help me..

    Which version of Office are you running? If you want to remove and reinstall, follow the remval instructions here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398768?wa=wsignin1.0. Although I expect removing Office isn't going to fix your problem... which version of Office 2011 are you running? There was an update earlier this week for version 14.2.5 - are you sure that you're running the latest version?
    I would first make certain that you're running the latest version before you do something as drastic as uninstalling and reinstalling. You might want to take your problem to the Word for Mac user forum - here. Let the community know the problems that you're having and see if there are any solutions that the Word experts may have before doing an uninstall and reinstall.
    Good luck,

  • Can't print using Word for Mac 2004 to any printer

    I bought a MacMini in January and a MacBook in June, Still using Word for Mac I bought years ago. When I try to print documents, only a line or two prints, sometimes not even that. I've tried printing from the Mini to an Epson Workforce 500 and from the MacBook to a Ricoh 6400. Very frustrating, and I have to get syllabi printed for classes.

    I just googled word for mac 2004 and found the requirements "10.2.8 or higher". There were quite a few changes in Snow Leopard, so a lot of applications which still would work with Leopard no longer work with SL. I also checked this site for SL compatibility and it is not even listed:
