No idea where to post this...Excel Commands?

i know this shouldn't be posted here..because its microsoft software. But i'm in my Calculus for business class right now and and commands in excel are obviously very different on a mac than they are on a PC
On a PC, if you want a value to stay constant in Excel, you press the F4 key after clicking on the value, and it will go from say A12 to A$12$ <--with those dollar signs. I have to type in the dollar signs. Does anyone know of a command that does this??
thanks in advance

You need to look for "absolute reference" and the best way to find it is to search for "The difference between relative and absolute references
Relative reference".

No idea where to post this - rebate help?

Sorry if this is COMPLETELY the wrong place to post this, but I'm not sure where the best place for help would be. I ordered Office 2004 Student and Teacher on Nov. 23, 2007, and it was supposed to have a $100 rebate. How do I get the rebate? We're looking for a form or something but we can't find one. We also ordered an iMac at the time, and it came with a $101 rebate that showed up on the receipt. Was there a mistake somewhere?

If the iMac came with a rebate then you'd have to call Apple about that. As for the Office rebate, if it came from the retailer you purchased the thing from then you'd have to discuss it with them, or if it was a Microsoft rebate then you'd have to contact them about it.

I have no idea where to post this but does anyone know...

if os 10.5 will run on PPC processors?
sorry if i posted this in the wrong place

If it does not, I would strongly suggest getting some good ear plugs to protect yourself from the huge screeching noise that will emanate from the home/office of every PPC Mac owner in the known universe.

I had no idea where to post this.

does anyone know if there is a way to put a login password on folders?

This post probably should be in the Using Panther forum. There are some 3rd party applications I believe that will let you encrypt an individual folder. Don't know much about them.
If you want to have a iPhoto Library that's password protected you can use iPhoto Buddy for that. If it's some other type of folder then go to the Panther forum.
OT

I have no idea where to post this, but I can not delete TextEdit files.

Tried dragging to trash, doesn't work. Tried highlighting the file and hitting delete, doesn't work.

Try get info - command + I - and see if you have the permission to read & write textedit files. If you have read only, then you can't delete. You'll need to fix that.
Oh, and for anyone reading this thread, providing information when you're asking for free help is not only important but considerate. This forum is users helping users.

I had my mac rebooted and now I can't find appleworks any idea where to download this?

I had my mac rebooted and now I can't find appleworks any idea where to download this?

"Rebooting" means restarting &, as fruhulda said, that won't cause things to disappear. If you mean you had the hard drive erased & the system reinstalled, you will have to find the original disk with the AppleWorks installer.

Where to post this?

I don't know where to post this question;
Where can I get a DVD, or make one for that matter, of all the Apple conference videos? You know the ones where Steve Jobs introduces stuff and future planse and things. They're called 'WW' something something.
Thanks

It is illegal to make copies, under the copyright
regulations regarding the use of keynotes
presentations, and there is no DVD for sale with them
(you would need a few DVDs, they go way back to the
early 80s).
The WWxx name is based on the name/location of the
conference, WWDC, WWSF etc.
Thanks for the info. A little disappointing though. I would love a compilation of the conferences and all the old commercials etc.
Maybe they'll put together a box set in the near future.

I am Lost on where to Post this but I am tired of throwing money away by staying with Verizon

I have a MOTO old phone and I want to upgrade. I have never had a smartphone. The MIFI 2200 has never worked where I live, even know it is a 3G device and all the tech support agents have been unable to help me. However, Verizon kept taking my money for nearly a year. I was even paying more than what I should have been paying until about 3 months ago an agent said; "do you know the MIFI unlimited price is $10 less than what you are paying?" So that went down $10. It still has not worked for a year and all I am told it is because of this small pocket in Salt Lake City that is Unified and near railroad tracks, which make the signal unable to reach my MIFI2200.
My contract has been up for about 1 year and I would like to either get far away from Verizon or give them another chance and get an iPhone and the 4G version of the MiFI made by the same company. I understand Samsong has a model too but I was told the company that makes the MIFI2200 3G is the way to go with the 4G.
I know this all will be like living in the stoneage and moving to the current age, but I think I can handle it. I am open for suggestions. I se that I can go in to an Apple Store and have them get me hooked up with an iPhone on Verizon but I would lose my New Every Two.
I really feel lost. I was told the 4G mobile hot spot will work where I live in the same location where the 3GMIFI has not worked for a year.
Is getting ripped of by Verizon just par for the course or am I just a sucker that has no luck?
any suggestions?

How did my Post turn into people thinking that one gets a new phone? I never said that. The program is discontinued but those who still have it will get it. I have 2 lines, one for the MOTO cell phone which gives me $30 off of whatever comes up on their website and $50 off of whatever comes up that the MIFI2200 used.
does anybody know what mobile hotspot has the best reputation? the MiFI2200 3G has a 4G but I have heard that the Samsong is the best. I have no idea what to do but I am hoping the 4G will be able to get a signal since I need a back-up for the online courses I teach.
what other phone is as good or better but easy to use as the iPhone?
I would like some recommendations but not any ******** comments. I am lost and geting more lost the farther I look into what devices I shold get. I need a phone. what are some of the good phones? I have researched but the more I research the more confused I get. I think getting other's recommendations gives me some idea where to at least look. I am not asking for somebody to tell me what to buy just some advice for a newbie.
I also need to upgrade the MIFI200 3G line. I likes the 3G when I lived at a place it worked but when I got in this dead zone it was useless. I am really hoping the 4G will over-power this dead-zone since it appears some people have commented on another forum that their 4G has worked in the area I live in Salt Lake City that is a so-called dead-zone.
it sucks not knowing much about this topic. I read, research, read, ask, join forums, read more and research more but it boils down to how the device will work where I live (as far as the mobile hot spot) and the phone it boils down to what are the good phones and a phone that a person who is not good with this technology can understand and use without too much brains in this topic.
that does not make much sense but maybe somebody will give me some recommendations as far as what to replace my MIFI2200 3G with and what to replace my MOTO cell phone with. I think it will be cool to be able to send a text. I have never sent one but how practical it all seems.

I have no idea where to post my question

I just bought a brand new MacBook Pro. I have so many problems trying to get up and running with this machine, I don't know where to post my questions. My mouse doesn't work right any more, the thing doesn't recognize my printer any more, it won't launch my scanner any more... I have been at this for 4 days now. I just don't know where to begin to ask my questions here I am having so many problems getting this brand new machine to work.
I was migrating from a Powerbook G4 that worked beautifully. As soon as I got this brand new Macbook Pro and tried to use my Kensington wireless mouse, my HP Laserjet, and Epson flatbed scanner, it seems like the new machine just won't work with any of these items and I don't know where to begin to ask here.
It took 2 days to get Apple mail working properly on this new Macbook Pro and even my ISP was baffled by the problems encountered.
Could someone please tell me where I can post my question here about how to get the above stuff working with my new Mac? I am completely exhausted and ready to just return the whole thing.

Actually Human,
Here are some possibilities.
Using Your MacBook Pro
Any of the the other MacBook Pro Forums

Wrong forum I know but I don't know where to post this

I have two accounts here.
I created one when I had a PC and an ipod
When I received my macbook I created another account.
Both accounts use the same email address
If I log in with my one username I am shown questions to do with ipods (that's when I had the PC and downloaded itunes for the ipod)
. If I log in with my email address I am shown questions I've posted about my macbook since receiving it at christmas.
Both accounts use the same email address and password and yet neither account shows both acct questions.
Is there any way to merge both accounts together.
I know this is the wrong forum for this question, but can't find any link to email apple directly and get this fixed up.
Can anyone help?

Hi whyper!
Unfortunately there is no way to merge the accounts. Just choose one that you prefer to use for everything.
And this is the appropriate Forum to post this issue!

External hard drive, sharing, itunes? Not sure where to post this?

sorry guys but i'm not sure where this belongs, but anyway. I just bought my macbook and purchased a Western Digital harddrive ( external ) anyway I have like 80gigs of pics and music and want to get it from my iPod back onto the computer. Not a problem............My problem is that I can't put it directly onto the external drive I first need to put it on the macbook then transfer it to the externak hardrive. When I do this is winds up on my mac HD and also on my external hardrive. I only want it in one place. Ok, my ultimate goal right now is to buy an iMac which I'm doing this weekend. Got rid of my PC's ( Go Apple !) LOL. I want to put all my music ,videos,pics, movies on the external hardrive and be able to share it with both my Macbook and my imac. I simply want to be able to access my everything from both pc's but get it all from the EHD. Right now it's all on my macbook and I want to free up the space, plus learn how to do it for the future. Sorry to ramble. So far I've posted a few times and someone always comes through. Everyone here is awesome, it's like another planet compared to the PC world.
thanks

Put your iTunes folder on the eternal hard drive, and make a alias to it from your home directory on the MacBook (Cmd-L). Do the same when you get the iMac.
I didn't quite get how the two computers are sharing the hard drive, or maybe you'll put the hard drive on the iMac and share the library. There's a lot of ways to make this work. You made a good decision.

Ok... I don't know where to post this but... *UPDATED*

Tonight, suddenly out of nowhere, both Windows Media Player, and RealPlayer both stopped playing sound. For everything. from new things I download to videos in both formats I've had on my computer for a long time, and up to today worked just fine. The reason I'm posting here is because it's happening to both programs, and I'd think their audio codecs are seemingly unrelated. So it may have something to do with the OS. QuickTime, iTunes, system sounds, mplayer, all fine. And I never installed anything or changed anything at all before they stopped playing sound. I tried restarting my computer, repairing permissions, deleting the .plists, uninstalling the programs and deleting the plists, then repairing permissions, restarting, redownloading both programs and reinstalling them... to no avail. This just seems completely random. Only WMP gives an error. "This file may not play correctly because it was compressed by using a codec that is not supported." I never had any plugins or extra codecs or anything for either of those players. Has anyone experienced anything like this?
UPDATE It gets worse... turns out that sound won't play on flash websites in Safari either now. And I can no longer preview a song I am downloading using Acquisition. It's almost like OSX is not letting these programs use sound....

Actually i don't know where to post this, but I'm MBA student and have to do a project about the HR functions in a famous company. and I'd like to talk about Apple inc, so how can i get some information about that, and who can help me in this?

Can anyone help me in this?

Sara ~ Apple's mission statement is HERE. But the following statement from Apple's now-CEO Tim Cook during a quarterly earnings conference call on 21 January 2009 may give more insight:
"There is an extraordinary breadth and depth and tenure among the Apple executive team, and these executives lead over 35,000 employees that I would call "all wicked smart". And that's in all areas of the company, from engineering to marketing to operations and sales and all the rest. And the values of our company are extremely well entrenched.
We believe that we're on the face of the Earth to make great products, and that's not changing. We're constantly focusing on innovating. We believe in the simple, not the complex. We believe that we need to own and control the primary technologies behind the products we make, and participate only in markets where we can make a significant contribution.
We believe in saying no to thousands of projects so that we can really focus on the few that are truly important and meaningful to us. We believe in deep collaboration and cross-pollination of our groups, which allow us to innovate in a way that others cannot.
And frankly, we don't settle for anything less than excellence in every group in the company, and we have the self-honesty to admit when we're wrong and the courage to change. And I think, regardless of who is in what job, those values are so embedded in this company that Apple will do extremely well."

Palm Desktop ATE MY CALENDAR AGAIN!!!! I CAN'T Connect to ANY Of my DATA! And I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO POST THIS

While opening palm desktop I got the dreaded "Error failed to open Date Book database" and my ENTIRE datebook was EATEN AGAIN...
Shame on me for depending on this flakey software to keep track of my entire G*dd*mn life but there it is...
I WAS still running 4.2. I've tried uninstalling 4.2 and installing 6.2 under the (obviously) mistaken assumption that there's a way to fix the corrupt datebook database in 6.2.
Now I can't even access any of my other data like ALL OF MY ADDRESSES AND TELEPHONE NUMBERS, ALSO (SILLY ME!!!) entrusted to this flakey POS software....
because now I cannot find any way in the menus or imports or WHATEVER in 6.2 to connect the program to my old profile...
Does anyone know of any 3rd party software that can retrieve my data from the old databases? (That would be my first preference -- GET MY INFORMATION and then deep six this sucker!)...
Is there a CLUE anywhere in any documentation about how I can reconnect my GOOD data with 6.2???
Post relates to: Visor Prism

This happens probably because of 2 existing palm desktop data. Older version of PDS will store the user data under c:\Program Files\Palm or Palm One on the other hand PDS 6.2 will store the User Data under My Documents\PalmOS Desktop.
Given that you have all the updated data on your phone, Uninstall Palm Desktop , and make sure you remove all other folders for previous PDS. (rename palm folders under program files and palm os desktop under mydocuments). Once everything has been removed, install fresh installation of PDS, sync your device and just make sure you set the sync method to Handheld overwrites Desktop.

Cant figure out where to post this...

Here's the thing:
Unicode Character 'ARABIC PLACE OF SAJDAH' (U+06E9)
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/06e9/index.htm
I see the symbol correctly at work on Firefox on a PC running XP Pro.
I can't see it (just a square with 06E9 inside) at home on Firefox on the Mac - OS 10.? running Leapord and I have MS Office for Mac if that matters.
Trying to figure out why I can't view this properly on the MAc since I don't think Ascii codes have any relation to fonts...
If anyone has an answer/solution that's great...
Otherwise, can someone point me to the right forum to post a question like this?
Thanks!

I am (and was) up to date with Firefox 3.5.6
No good in Safari or Opera either...
Thanks! I was not booted into Leopard before and now I see what the problem is: 06E9 is apparently not in the Arabic fonts that come with 10.5. There is a list here:
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/06e9/fontsupport.htm
You can get one that does have it, Scheherazade AAT, here:
