Newbie: What program to use for just plain ASCII text?

I'm new to Mac and wanting to create a plain ASCII text document (not RTF or else).
In Windows I would use NotePad. What do I use on Mac? I tried "TextEdit" but it didn;t allow me to same it as "plain text" or similar. I want absolutely no formattings in my document.
Thanks.

You can use TextEdit. Just select the Make Plain Text option in the Format menu.

What program to use for commercial

Hi Im kyle,
I've seen the ipod nano-chromatic commercial and i was wondering how to make the commercial, not the new one with the camera the previous one with the ipods floating and landing and playing the artist chairlift, what program do you need to make that commercial,iMovie '09? please help.
Thank You

There may be several programs that will do this, or portions of this, but the commercial was likely done with Final Cut Studio which includes Final Cut Pro for great control over editing, and Motion for placing 2d and 3d objects in motion along a path and manipulating them.

Firefox keeps asking me what program to use to open file types even though I have selected one and checked "do this for all files of this type" going foward

I am working in Windows and every time I open an attachment, Firefox asks what program to use to open files of this type. I always select the proper program and then check the box that says use this program for all future files of this type. In spite of that, the program continues to ask for every file. How do I turn off this feature and just have the program remember the correct program to use for each type of file extension?

Regardless of your download preferences, web servers can trigger a download prompt by sending either the ''Content-Type: application/octet-stream'' or the ''Content-Disposition: attachment'' header. You can check if that's the case by examining the server response headers in the [https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Tools/Web_Console Web Console].
For the latter problem install the InlineDisposition add-on and see if it helps.

If the problem persists, post back here with either an example link or a screenshot of the relevant response headers in the Web Console.

IMac - freezes or pauses intermittantly - usually for 2 or 3 seconds no matter what program is running - sometimes just touching a menu to get a drop down will take several seconds

my iMac freezes or pauses intermittantly - usually for 2 or 3 seconds - no matter what program is running - sometimes just touching a menu to get a drop down will take several seconds - if playing music on iTunes or Spotify the music will pause for several seconds - it is not internet related because it happens when working off line - its become a major annoyance in using the compuetr - really slows it down - any suggestions?

Close ... before going for a specific Cisco app ... lets find out some details:
Host we need more details:
What is your server environment (Windows Server, or Mac OS X Server, or Linux)?
What security is implemented in your environment - as what is restricted (RDP for all or specifc credentials on all machines? Are you part of local admin group to the server you wish to connect)?
Does your environment Support CISCO IPSec connection? If so use Settings> VPN and IPSec tab to enter VPN details, if not then go with above suggestion. IF your restricted to RSA then either built in VPN settings or 3rd party app for RSA would suffice.
Finally, there are many RDP applications out there I use "Mocha RDP Light" (free minimal ads when launched not when connecting).

What are the uses for Macbook pro and Macbook air?

Hi! I am deciding between MBA and MBP and need to know what the different uses for each one was. Like what would you use the MBA for and what would you use the MBP for?? All opinions welcome!!

They're actually pretty comparible in what they can do if you're talking about the base model of both (say 13") with 4GB RAM. At that level, the Pro has the advantage if you're going to watch or burn DVD's or CD's, as the Air has no optical drive. But otherwise, they're pretty much the same--full-sized, backlit keyboard, camera, beautiful screen, etc. If you're going for more than a basic 13" Pro, then things start to change. For example, you can get up to 8GB RAM on the Pro, and a huge hard drive, you can also get a 15" or 17" size. You will be paying a lot for these, but, obviously, if you're going to be working on, say, making videos (which you may then want burn onto disk) the Pro is very much what you'll want.
However, if you don't need or want any of that--if, for example, you plan to do the usual programs (word processing, games, web surfing, music, etc.), then you really won't see much difference between the two. At 4GB RAM and a 13" screen, the big difference is going to be thickness and weight, not power. And in this the Air will have the advantage--it's really amazingly slim, light and with a SSD, faster (you pay extra--a lot extra--to get SSD on the Pro).
Just to make the point, I switched from a 13" Pro to an 11" Air. My hard drive size is half what it was with a Pro, but I was barely taking up half of that amount on the Pro, and so have plenty of room on my 128GB Air (you can get 256GB for the 11" if you order it online). Absolutely everything my Pro did, my Air does (sans optical drive), only faster and lighter and more compact--meaning it takes up less table space, slips in and out of my bag faster, balances on my lap easier, etc. But there was no interruption of service--I switched pretyt seamlessly from 13" Pro to 11" Air.
The Pro offers you more options for power, screen size, HD size and optical drive. But it's really pretty surprising how few of us need that much power, that much room, or the optical drive. It's very freeing to realize that less can be more than enough.

HT5293 What is X11 used for ?

I was wondering what X11 program is used for ? It is included in the Launchpad as a program which I have never used.. You help is greatly appreciated.

It is a windowing system (GUI) for apps that were written to work in X-Windows.
(Roughly) Just as DOS had Windows as its Graphical User Interface, so Unix has various GUIs, among them X-Windows, & OS X
more info on X11 (Now XQuartz) here:

An example of an app that only runs with X-Windows environments would be WireShark, a network analyser.

What are the uses for AW?

I have yet to find a use for AW that excel or word or pages or keynote could not do.
So i was wondering what is the program being used for?

I agree, although I suspect anyone looking specifically at Word, Excel, and Keynote/PowerPoint are not using databases (although many do not, but are trying really hard to make excel into a databse!).
I've been using FileMaker so long, that I find AW database to be underpowered, but for the price, the database tool in AW is very good for flat databases.
When one comes to the point of needing a relational database, FileMaker can't be beat -- expecially when compared to Access on PCs,...FileMaker is far simpler and more intuitive (at least to me), and development time is very fast.
Barbara's example is one where I bet a relational database would be very useful,...something to consider,...

What is "grab" used for?

I can't find anything in the macair manual or elsewhere are what to do with "grab". What is it used for and how?

Grab is an app to take screenshots of your display. When you open it, you won't see any window, but you will see that Grab shows up on the menu bar. Just select the "Capture" menu and choose the option you want.
Apart from that, you can take screenshots without using Grab, just with these shortcuts:
- Command, Shift and 3 keys > take a screenshot of the whole display.
- Command, Shift and 4 keys > take a screenshot of the part you want.
- Command, Shift, 4 and Space keys > take a screenshot of a window.
If you want to know more shortcuts, read > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11229

This IANA listing of the port numbers is also useful, if more detailed.
You can use the Sharing tab of System Preferences to configure the firewall to block all ports except for those specified; you can use the command-line ipfw utility to set up more detailed firewall configurations.

What program was used to create the Firefox intro video? Really good!

I downloaded Firefox for the first time and watched the overview video. It is very engaging - I'd like to know what programs were used to create it. Camtasia, Captivate, Flash for example.
Thank you,
Jennifer

What is OEM_sqlplus_input_finished used for?

During recovery of my database just for testing purpose I got such error:
Prosz� poda� dziennik: {<RET>=sugerowany | nazwa_pliku | AUTO | CANCEL}
ORA-00308: you can't open archived log 'OEM_sqlplus_input_finished'
ORA-27041: can't open file

O/S-Error: (OS 2) System can't find file.
The OEM_sqlplus_input_finished sounds misterious to me. What is it used for?
Some words you can see above you probably don't understand are in Polish.
Chris

ORA-00308 cannot open archived log 'string'
Cause: The system cannot access a required archived redo log file.
Action: Check that the offline log exists, the storage device is online, and the archived file is in the correct location. Then attempt to continue recovery or restart the recovery session.
