New IBM free download of "Lotus Symphony" spreadsheet
Will the new IBM free spreadsheet software "Lotus Symphony" work OK on an Apple Computer. When one goes to download it it gives a choice of dowloading into "Windows" or "Linux" but doesn't say anything about being compatible with a Mac. Anybody know if it OK to dowload to an iMac?
The A1173 appears to be an Intel model based on my Google search. If true, you can install any Intel based virtualization solution to run Windows or Linux on your Mac listed here*:
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#WINTEL
thus run the Lotus Symphony download in those environments.
Though if you are interested in OpenOffice clones, see my other FAQ*:
http://www.macmaps.com/crossplatform.html
According to my Google search, Lotus Symphony's latest release is based on OpenOffice. There are other OpenOffice clones that are made for Mac OS X native.

When I try to open a spreadsheet on my Mac that I worked on with my iPhone, I get "You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet." When I go to the App store, it says I already have it. I have v. 2.3 and can't seem to download newer version.
If you are running Mavericks, and the Mac App store says you are up to date, then you have Numbers 3.2 as well as Numbers 2.3. You are getting the "Need a newer version message because your Mac is trying to open the document using Numbers 2.3.
Launch Numbers 3, then open the document from within that app, or right click/control-click the document and choose Open with Numbers 3.x.

I participated in getting the free download of Mountain Lion for new Mac owners. It took me three days to finally get a code to do it and when I tried downloading it, the estimated time was 74 days 17 hours. Now an error occurred. What do I do? I am very frustrated and just want the great software to download in a resonalbe time!
Take your Mac to a location with a fast, relaible Internet connection that will be all yours during the duration of the download.
If you want to complain, PLEASE call Apple and do so.
Internet only downloads of OS X is completely stupid, it assumes everyone has reliable Internet everywhere and /or no data caps. -
I have loaded mountain lion on my iMac and have an old version of iWorks on my machine. It appears that all my Pages documents won't open unless I get the new version of Pages off the App store. Does anyone know if that is a free download if you already have purchased iWorks previously on disk? Thanks.
No. The iWork (no 's') apps are a separate purchase. You should not have to buy any of the '09 apps again to work in Mountain Lion, you just need to update them.
iWork '09 installed from the retail disk or from the downloaded trial must be updated through Software Update. In Mountain Lion Software Update has been "rolled into" the Mac App Store. Choose Software Update from the Apple menu just like you always have & the Mac App Store will launch. Depending on what you have that needs updating you may see two sections in the MAS window.
But, as always, if you're not running the latest versions of the iWork apps installed from a retail box or the downloaded trial & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. If you installed from the downloaded trial or the retail box, they must be in the iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.
Alternatively, you can download the standalone updater here. -
I have a free download permission for the new lion mountain,but I didn't finish it in 3 days.It just disappear in my launchpad.Im confused and want to find how to install it again!

IPhoto free download for user of the new macbook (purshased by August 2012)
How I can free download iLife's apps? You can read my discussion with support here https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4210729?tstart=0
ThanksThe Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
When the MacBook was new you needed to open the Mac App Store, sign into your iTunes/Mac App Store Apple ID, open the Purchases pane and click the Accept buttons. Those apps would then be available for you to download in the future on the Purchases pane.
Since you did not do that before and you have now upgraded the OS, I don't know a solution to your issue. Perhaps if you use Mt Lion Recovery and install Mt Lion again you can follow the directions for also recovering the iLife apps;

When I downloaded 0S5 on my ipad & iphone i never got the new PC Free or notifications app
When I downloaded OS 5 on my iphone 4 and ipad 2 I never got the New PC Free and notifications app.
Neither of these features are instigated as apps. There is a change to the way notifications are displayed, i.e. as a scrollable list with items you dismiss when you want to rather than coming at you one at a time, and one read only. With regard to being PC free, the aim is to allow backup and future updates to possible without connecting to a computer. As far as I know that is good to go now, though I've not signed up for iCloud or tested it yet so I can't say for certain.

My Ipad2 has messages in App Store that says I have 22 updates. When I chose to update any of those 22 I receive this message "Cannot Connect to Itunes Store". I am able to make new purchase or free downloads but no updates.
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

I have received a pop-up advisory from Firefox several times, saying that my Free Download Manager is not compatible with the recommended 5.0.1 upgrade and wold have to be disabled until the compatibility problem was corrected.
(I think that I did download it, and that was when I got the first warning. I visited my download m manager shortly afterward, and all my download history had disappeared. I think that I then reversed the upgrade.)
Since then, my emails will load only in Basic HTML, which I have several problems with. I don't know if that is a Google or a Firefox problem.
So, my initial problem is that I need a reliable and easy to use free downloader before I can upgrade and get my Standard HTML back.
What free Download Managers are compatible with Firefox 5.0.1?
While we're at it, is 5.0.1 Beta? And what is Beta?Solution: (Free Download Manager)
Go here: http://codecpack.co/download/Free_Download_Manager.html and download Free Download Manager 3.8.1067 Beta 3, it works perfectly with Firefox 5.0.1
Solution: (to Google mail aka Gmail)
I have had this problem for a while since I did a previous Firefox update, where I had to force Gmail to load in Basic HTML else it's next to impossible to use it. The solution is this: simply update your Java, and Gmail will work without a problem using Standard HTML. To update your Java go here: http://www.java.com/en/ and select "Free Java Download".
And beta normally, universally, means "the not quite there yet version of the version we're aiming for" NORMALLY used during production and testing of a type of software. -
MSWord vs. My Mac and Lotus Symphony
I'm trying to reset the default application to open .doc and .docx files from MSWord to IBM Lotus Symphony, but whenever I hit "Change All" in the Info box, it immediately resets to MSWord.
Is there any way to force it to accept the binding I want, short of uninstalling MSWord? I'll do that if I have to, but it would be nice to keep it around for truly intractable files.be sure that your monitor color controls are setup correctly.
Use a gamma
setting tool.
On the PC I use QuickGamma and QuickMonitorProfile both free.
for a MAC I would recommend Gamma Control
http://michelf.com/projects/gamma-control/
also free.

I am trying to use sites on the internet which require Adobe Flash Player, and when I click for a free download it says that "it is not available for your device because of restrictions that Apple has put in place". Any suggestions on how to overcome this?
Flash is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus it would be up to Adobe to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, something which they have never managed to do and which they have now given up on trying to do.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so your could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app). -
My iPhone 4 will not open my purchased apps, anyone know what is going on? I just recently bought a new laptop and downloaded iTunes onto and synced my phone. I was also talking on my phone and it died, then I charged it and that is when the apps would no longer open. My mail, and iPod and safari work just not the purchased apps, if anyone know please write back!:)
Try downloading any free app to resync your iTunes account.

How can I get past the iTunes page that offers a free download of iTunes 10+ ?
My iMac G5 doesn't have the Intel Processors and it operates on OS X 10.4. Both conditions make it impossible for me to upgrade to iTunes 10. Every time I attempt to log into the iTunes Store, I am given a page that offers me the opportunity to upgrade to iTunes 10+ and I'm not able to get beyond the page and in to the Store. My account is current and I'm not happy with this strategy to make my perfectly good iMac obsolete and force me to buy a new one in order to access the iTunes Store. I need a way to get beyond the page that offers the iTunes 10+ free download, so I can purchase the music I want. Please help me get around this Apple ploy.
Uncle Jim SernaMany of us don't like it but innovative Apple staying ahead of the curve means those of us on the other side quickly get ignored. After all, who is it who is spending money on all that hardware and software; the people staying with the newest all the time, or those of us who haven't bought a computer or operating system in 5 years? It's a for-profit company so you can hardly blame them, though it doesn't endear me to the policy of not supporting anything older than 4 years or so.
More in response to your specific issues, with a G5 you can upgrade to OSX 10.5 (which doesn't require Intel except for iCloud and related) which will allow you to run newer iTunes. It's a bit of hassle and some cost.
Alternatively think about buying from some other online retailer such as Amazon and don't forget to write Apple saying what you're doing.
Edit:
A comment on Niel's suggestion, I don't think anything less than iTunes 10 gives you access to the iTunes store. -

Wait till you "update" to firefox 4 and EVERYthing breaks, including the buttons that come with it. There is no arrow next to the dropdown button, right clicking the tab bar doesn't bring up the correct menu, but one as though it were the menu bar (which is missing) and the information bar is missing. True, it's fast, but you'll spend weeks getting it to work properly.
