Pages 5.5 is now available in the App Store.

Start the testing!
And let us know what works and what still doesn't.

Hi Peter. At first glance it looks great, you have so many options, but in practice they simply don't work. The only one that has all the tools is Microsoft Word, but the version for Mac is an old one and in the new OSX has a lot of bugs. For example, I can't personalize the size of the book because I use a specific size that is similar to a predefine one and Word changes the size automatically to that one, ruin my book. In large books, the lines disappear when you are scrolling, turning the work into a nightmare (you have to scroll back all the time or write random characters to be able to see the text again on the screen).
I was expecting a solution from Apple, because they should provide one (not necessarily for free). Writing software is the most basic tool of a computer and they can't depend on Microsoft to provide it (I have been waiting for more than two years for an update of Word). The only option I have is to pay $10 a month for Office 365, but I don't know how good it is and I simply don't like the idea of depending on being connected to the web to be able to work.
Well, the thing is that, no matter how many options you have, nothing works right now for Mac, you have to finish your work on a PC with Windows (which is insane. I moved to Apple and bough two Apple computers because I was tired of Microsoft and now I will have to sell my Macs and go back)
I didn't try Ulysses though, but my hopes are very low considering my previous experience with open software or third-party apps

  • HT4972 2nd generation ipod touch is pretty much no good anymore?  It is not able to upgrade to iOS5.1 and so will not work with many of the Apps now available in the App store.  Is there any way to find out which apps will work with 2nd generat

    2nd generation ipod touch is pretty much no good anymore?  It is not able to upgrade to iOS5.1 and so will not work with many Apps in the iTunes store?  Is there a way to find out if the App will work before you download?

    Look to the app developer to provide that information when browsing the iTunes Store.
    The iPod Touch still works, so what's your problem with it? It still works with older apps, it still does what it's intended to do.
    If you aren't happy then sell it and buy a new one.

  • IPhoto 9.4.3 no longer available in the App Store?

    My wife has an older MacBook running 10.7.5. It is still running great, but it is too old to update to 10.9 Mavericks. I would like to buy the newest possible version of iPhoto that will run on 10.7.5. I believe this is iPhoto 9.4.3. But the only iPhoto available in the App Store is 9.5, which requires Mavericks.
    I can purchase an old version of iLife '11 on Amazon for $40, (http://www.amazon.com/Apple-MC623Z-A-iLife-VERSION/dp/B003XKRZES), but I am concerned about purchasing an old product through a third-party reseller. Plus I don't need iMovie or GarageBand and would rather pay $14.99 for iPhoto alone.
    Additionally, I have a newer MacBook Pro also running 10.7.5 and iLife '11 (iPhoto 9.4.3). My plan is to do this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198
    I want to store my iPhoto library on an external hard drive so that both my wife and I can access it. I will connect the external drive to my MacBook Pro when I want to add photos or do editing. My wife will connect it to her MacBook when she wants to add photos or do editing. So even though I can upgrade my MacBook Pro to 10.9 and 9.5, I am holding off for now. I am not sure if an iPhoto 9.5 library is compatible with iPhoto 9.4.3? So to be safe, I want both machines running 9.4.3.
    Question #1 - What is the best way to get iPhoto 9.4.3 on a MacBook that cannot run Mavericks 10.9 or iPhoto 9.5?
    Question #2 - Is an iPhoto 9.5 library backward compatible for a machine running 9.4.3?

    Yes, iPhoto 9.4.3 will work with Mavericks. As a precaution I keep a copy of iPhoto in another folder so that it won't get overwritten by accident.  The only official thing I can show you is this from my computer showing those apps that work and those that don't:
    This is a screenshot of all of my test libraries which work with Mavericks:
    The only version of iPhoto that doesn't work with Mavericks is iPhoto 9.3.2 (probably all 9.3 versions).  Why, that's a mystery. I have test libraries for all of the versions above.  iPhoto 8 and earlier do take a while to load their libraries as there's some old MobileMe stuff in them that slows them down.

  • Why is the Fios mobile app not available in the App Store?

    Why is the Fios mobile app not available in the App Store?

    Sorry to say but they have. And even advertised it on their home page as recently as today. You can view about 70 different channels on your iPhone or iPad. Anyone else out there who knows the answer?

  • Will Mozilla fire fox be available in the App Store any time soon ?

    Will the app Mozilla fire fox be available in the App Store so we can open flash player required pages ?

    No one here can say really, only Mozzilla themselves if and when they give in to Apple's requirements, or Apple gives in to their demand of using their web engine rather than Apple's.  
    With that said, the Flash problem is not the browser its the lack of a Mobile version of Flash for iOS. Even with FF you would not be able to open flash sites.
    There are however other browsers with varying support for Flash processing that you can use to open flash content.
    Look for Puffin, Skyfire, Photon etc...
    Most of these process the requested flash content at their servers and feed it back to the device in a format that the iPad can understand, which slows performance a bit.

  • I can not update my installed apps from the App Store Update page.  I can individually update from the App Store Purchased page.  I tried a soft reset but still unable.  Any suggestions?

    You are doing all that you cn do right now other than to update the apps in iTunes on your computer and sync them to the iPad.
    There has been a problem with the App Store updates tab for a few days now and we are all waiting for Apple to fix it.
    Look at all of the discussions on the iPad forum that are talking about this right now.

  • How to push apps which are not available in the App Store?

    Hi :-)
    I've got one question: I would like to push apps via profile manager to different devices, which are not available in the App Store, so I can not buy them via VPP.
    Example: TeamViewer for OS X.

    You can't. Use something like Apple Remote Desktop.

  • Disappointed with maps, will google maps be available in the App Store?

    I was really looking forward to the new maps but am very disappointed. Don't get me wrong the 3D maps are great, but so far in the UK I can only find London with this function.
    But this isn't my gripe. It's the view in standard mode, none of the road types have different colours so navigation is much more difficult. On google maps the motorways are blue, major A roads green and so on. All the roads are the same colour on apple maps so motorways look the same as a roads etc. Is this likely to change?
    If not will google maps be available in the App Store any time soon? Or is there a free/cheap map app that is as good as google maps? I can use google maps in safari but its nowhere near as intuitive :-(
    I know the OS is only new, but they've been making a song and dance about this maps and I find it a big disappointing. I don't even like the colour scheme, oceans and rivers etc are shocking blue.

    If you go to google.com and view maps on the full site then there is a pop-up that asks if you would like to add the mobile app version to your home screen. This puts the google maps app on your phone. It is web based and at least on my phone is slow to load up but the resolution is what you were used to before the update.

    Application Updates from the update icon currently cost nothing. Anything on the App Store that costs money will have a button to buy in Blue with the price in the button.

    You should be able to go > App Store > App store (menu) > store > view my account > sign in.    Where do you vary after following this point.   In between ID summary and Settings should be a section marked iTunes in the cloud and directly below but within that section, the message we are seeking.
    I'm not doubting you, just don't see why you have this problem.
