Need common interface across devices for word processing and spreadsheets with shared files

Need software for Mac, PC, iPad & iPhone with common word processing interface across devices (spreadsheet as well).
Need shared access to files through home NAS or cloud.
Trying MS Office 365, Google Docs & Sheets, OpenOffice,
Trying iCloud, Google Drive, OneDrive, DropBox, WD MyCloud.
So far each has fatal flaw.
Suggestions?

Office, Office for Mac and the Office Apps for iOS  can all read from and write to OneDrive.  You can create folder structures however you want them, and read files from them normally though the Apps.
You do need an Office 365 subscription for certain editing features on the iPhone Office Apps though.
As to a backup, from either the PC or the Macbook, you should be able to simply drag and drop your files to the external drive form the OneDrive folder.

You can access your documents from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection. Updates are applied almost immediately. 
Why did One Drive not work?

  • What are the best programs for word processing and excel for the iPad

    Was planning to use my iPad for word processing and excel work, what programs are best that would be compatible with Word documents I have on a Wi-Fi drive.

  • I need a video capture device for downloading Band and family video tapes.

    Hi,  I need to download some old video tapes before they turn to dust.  Are there any fairly inexpensive video capture devices that work well with the Imac?
    Thanks

    Are they VHS video cassettes or something like 8MM camcorder tapes?
    If they're camcorder tapes, usually it's best to try to buy an old video camera (MUST have FIREWIRE port).
    Then you can play the tape in the camera and capture from the Firewire. Also important, if you have a 2010 (maybe 2009?) or newer iMac, you'll need a cable that is Firewire 400 to fit the camera at one end and Firewire 800 at the other end to connect to the iMac.

  • OPM support for Word Processors and Spreadsheet Programs other than Microsoft

    Hi,  the Productivity Suite requirements for OPM seem to be Microsoft Word and Excel.
    However, that ties users in to Microsoft products and microsoft appear to be moving down the "Adobe" rent a program scheme with Office 365.  This is an issue for me - reasons which are not relevant to this discussion - and I am now actively seeking alternatives to Microsoft Word and Excel.
    As Oracle bought Sun Microsystems, who themselves acquired StarOffice which supported OpenOffice.org, is there any intention for Oracle to make OPM versions which can use office suites other than Microsoft products?
    If yes, which other office productivity suites are being considered and what is the timescale for the delivery of an OPM release which supports these other office suites please.
    If no, are Oracle concerned that their market is tied in to a product which they have no control over?
    Thanks

    What I was really after was someone from the OPM development team to answer these questions - for me, OPM being tied in to Microsoft products forces me to have to buy / rent Microsoft Office products which is increasingly becoming too restrictive and costly for my business model.
    I'd be interested to hear if Oracles approach is simply
    1. "take it or leave it" either because OPM is too integrated with Word and Excel coding eg parsing, compiling etc for Oracle to unpick how OPM works or
    2. if Oracle believe if you can afford OPM, you should be able to afford Microsoft products too or
    3. Oracle are currently actively developing OPM versions which function with other productivity suites
    Unfortunately, developers are the last people that can comment on these questions. The binding of OPA to Microsoft office is a product decision, not one limited by technology. We can't comment on future directions for the product. A product manager, or marketing are the sort of people that could comment on these sorts of issues.

  • Labview IMAQ VI for capturing images and saving with incremental file names

    Hello,
    I am using LabView 7.1(IMAQ) to capture images with NI's PCI 1426 card, and a JAI CV-M2 camera. Now, with the example VI's like LL Grab, or LL Sequence, or Snap and Save to File.vi, I can capture the images. But what I actually want is to capture images continuously and keep saving them with a sequentially incrementing file name.
    I have tried to modify the Snap and Save to File.vi  by adding a 'for loop', so as to run this for required number of images. This works okay, but I can't really change the file name after every image. However, I'm not confident with this method either. I think it would be better to use the buffer itself, as is given in LL Grab.vi and somehow save images from the buffer. I think this would be faster ?
    In any case, any ideas as to how I should go about implementing auto-incrementing of the file name ?
    Any help will do. 
    Thanks.
    - Prashant

    Hi,
    Thanks a lot for replying. 
    I tried using this in the VI i was working with, but using the "build path" vi doesnt seem to work. If I use just the base path from user's input, it works, but then again it keeps overwriting the images into one file rather than giving each file a new name. I'm attaching the vi. 
    Please take a look and tell me where i'm going wrong.
    Thanks again.

  • Is a PowerBook G4 still good for what I need it for? 17" 1.67 Ghz CPU, 2GB RAM. Need for word processing, Dreamweaver, Illustrator, Sculptris, other programming software., Internet browsing, and light video editing.

    Powerbook G4 1.67 ghz, 2Gb ram, OS X 10.5 Leopard. Is it good enough for word processing, Dreamweaver, flash, sculptris, some programming software, Internet browsing, and some basic video editing? It also includes iLife and iWork, what is actually included in these packages?

    This is the fastest of the G4 Powerbooks which was a good performer when it was new. Graphics intense programs will not perform well by todays standard. In addition the up to date software programs need an Intel processor and more RAM. iLife includes iPhoto, iMovie, and GarageBand. iWork includes Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.

  • Which Mac Mini for word processing?

    Hello, my partner is looking to buy a computer to use exclusively for word processing.  Since she literally only wants to use a word processor – probably either MS Word or Nisus Writer – and nothing else (not even the internet), I suggested she might get a secondhand Mac Mini.
    I was wondering if anyone had any particular advice on what to look out for – otherwise it would just be a case of seeing what the cheapest device on offer is at a local second-hand computer shop.
    These would be the requirements:
    1.  It must be able to run at least Snow Leopard, in order to run a modern word processor.
    2.  It must be secure, i.e. not liable to break/malfunction easily.  (My partner is writing a novel, so she doesn't want to lose it half way through!)
    3.  It must be able to start up quickly.
    I'm assuming these are modest requirements, so I assume I'm really asking if there's any particularly dodgy models I should look out for etc.
    Any thoughts welcome!
    Jon

    Adding an aftermarket SSD drive won't help keep the cost down though.  To some extent, often startup doesn't matter much as many people never shut their Macs down.  My MBP has not been turned off for more than a few days in 4 years - I'll sleep it when away from it, and the hard drive and screen are timed out to sleep, but I don't bother shutting it down and rebooting it often.  And the difference in boot time for an SSD versus a HDD is likely going to be under one minute on any machine made in the last 3-5 years, so is it worth the cost for that, especially if you are only rarely restarting the machine?  To my mind that answer is no, but everybody is different.
    If I/O is an actually bottleneck or high activity issue on a machine, that is when an SSD becomes worth the extra cost, to my mind.  For word processing, I/O will not be a limitation at all, even with an older 5400rpm conventional HDD, so using an SSD is largely paying for something without any real benefit.  Even in terms of reliability, SSDs are hardly error free or not prone to failure, and in real world use or MTBF type ratings, a good quality conventional HDD is just as reliable as any decent SSD (and sometimes is more so for certain types of failures under heavy use read/write conditions).
    Buying used is fine, if you know the place you are buying from and can trust them to only offer decent items.  As long as you backup regularly so you can recover, a used item may suit your budget and needs just fine.
    In the tight budget scenario though, it is hard to beat some of the available Windows PC consumer machines, and many of those are pretty good quality.  MS Word is MS Word by and large, whether on OS X or Windows.  Keep in mind for the PC route, the cost of decent AV (although many of the free tools are very good and more than enough if you are educated and savvy about what to do and not do with email or web sites&links).

  • EMACS for word processing?

    I've heard some stuff about EMACS being usable for word processing... How usable is it? Can it be made to do WYSIWYG editing of documents with headers, footers, and/or double-spaced text, in a format that MS Office will be able to read?
    (If you must know, I have to deal with MLA format in an academic setting, and am not a huge fan of Abiword or OOo when it comes to actually writing stuff...)

    [Edit: posted too slow, but some stuff near the end may be of interest...]
    You could use emacs to create LaTeX source files. (See texlive for LaTeX packages for Arch.) Emacs has a number of extensions to aid with LaTeX document composition, the best known being AUCTeX. While it does have some preview features, AUCTeX by itself is not exactly WYSIWYG, though these days most LaTeX users generate PDF documents which shows them exactly what the output will be before printing.
    The quality of LaTeX typesetting is much better than what you get by default with MS Office or Open Office or AbiWord. Once you have a LaTeX document, converting it to one of those formats feels like a downgrade. But if you needed to generate something that they can handle for the purposes of collaborating with a colleague, you could use tex4ht, which has scripts for converting to ODT or HTML. There are other conversion methods too.
    I use vim for LaTeX composition personally, and almost never need to use a Word Processor.
    I hate to invoke stereotypes, but most liberal arts profs don't know a lot about computers.
    Well, I am a liberal arts (philosophy) prof... so infer from that what you will.

  • What are your preferred word processing and drawing apps?

    I currently use LibreOffice for most purposes, because it has both word processing and drawing software built-in, because it can read many file formats, without as much trouble as most other office suites. Unfortunately, while it can import AppleWorks word-processing documents, it can't import drawings, spreadsheets, etc., and while it can import older Word word-processing documents, it tends to corrupt the tables, the fancier quotes, etc. Also unfortunately, it does not work well with speech-to-text/dictation, not that dictation works well. Also unfortunately, it sometimes screws up imported images.
    I try to minimize formatting to avoid that in the future.
    I used to use Appleworks for most purposes, but it isn't supported anymore.
    I tried TextEdit, but it doesn't allow me to save different versions of the same document, or a new document based on an old document, it screws with page margins, and it doesn't have drawing software. I used to use Word, and at one point used Pages, but there are all sorts of issues with their file formats and incompatibilities between different versions.
    I would like a functional but not excessively fancy word-processing and drawing tool, and either as part of that, or in addition to that, a suitable version comparison tool. I draw a lot of maps, so the drawing program has to respect scale, and I have coordination problems, so it has to make it easy to put the right object in the right place. I've had trouble with that in LibreOffice.
    So in general, what word processing and office suite software do you think works for your needs, or would work for my or other people's needs?

  • If I rent a movie and I later I decide that I want to buy it, Am I going to need to download it once for the rental and a second time for the purchase?

    I just wanted to know if I rent a movie and I later I decide that I want to buy it, Am I going to need to download it once for the rental and a second time for the purchase?

    You will need to redownload it - rentals expire and are deleted, either 30 days after renting it, or 48 hours (24 hours if you are in the US) after starting to watch it, whichever is the soonest.

  • Is there a mobile device for just text and games for a child?

    is there a mobile device for just text and games for a child?

    iPod touch?  That's the only "iPod" that can play games (run apps).  It connects to the Internet over WiFi (not mobile carrier).  It's basically an iPhone without the phone parts.  If you get a used one, earlier models cannot run all the software available to the latest model (include the latest version of iOS).  That may be perfectly OK for a child, but you should look into and understand the imitations of older models, before getting one used or refurbished.  Apple-certified refurb iPod touch is available here
