Pages and key note not compatible with word and powerpoint
Dear members
I have received valuable help here, but still pages does not open word documents, I am having problems because I am the only person in my organisation who uses Mac! All the documents are in word format. Yvan kindly helped me and told me to use some tests. I wonder what kind of tests are, I spoke with Apple care, they spent 40 min on the phone doing the following after explaining:
I have a new Mac pro laptop which came as a replacement because the first one had a problem with bluetooh.
The previous Mac pro could open word and powerpoint using pages and key note
When I received the new mac pro I passed the information to the previous one to this one using time machine
I noticed immediately that the new mac pro could not open word using pages
After this I have received snow leopard , installed it , the problem remains
I explained this to the technician on the phone
Then:
put caches on desktop
updated the snow leopard to 10.6.1
created a file and saved as a word file using pages, but pages still not open the same doc created by it
The technician tried to contact a senior member and I was left waiting for 20 min to speak with a senior and never happened, I called again and they did the same
Of course that there is something wrong with my system because the previous faulty mac could open word and powerpoint
Any ideas?
Best Regards
Omar
I love iWork, but honestly, if I were the only one in an organization to use a Mac, I would get NeoOffice or Open Office, which are intended to be directly compatible with their Microsoft equivalents. Or, you know, buy MS Office for the Mac.

Why does Firefox keep updating when it knows it will not be compatible with extensions and plugins?
firefox now will not let me run videos or my birthday e-cards. i tried all of their solutions as much as i could but am not even vaguely a techie at 61.
why do the insist on updates that render stuff i use daily useless? why do I have delete or downgrade stuff to get things to work? this is total nonsense.
i may leave firefox for anything else given this CONSTANT issues..nearly every update something is now not compatible..folks are not happy, firefox. i know i am not.
ISSUE: videos and e-cards do not work. period. i have downgrade flash and messed with realplayer to no avail.
HELP and SUGGESTIONS pleasePLEASE POST IN YOUR OWN NEW THREAD.
This is getting complicated. Flash Player problems are not necessarily the only subject of this thread and it is a solved thread so it would be best to open a new question.
The situation changes as new versions of Firefox and FlashPlayer are released, and both have updated within the last few days.
Regarding FlashPlayer problms with Flash 11.3 there appear to be three problems
* Real Player - that is best dealt with as a separate problem - so a first question has to be are you using Real Player and if so does that include video recording/downloading features ?
* Protected mode <br/> Many problems on Windows Firefox relate to the use of protected mode by the Flash Payer 11.3 . Also note this is an issue only affecting recent Windows OS s .
*Protected mode setting <br/> it is possible to set this or unset it manually, it is also possible for installers to set or unset this so not only the version, but where you obtain it and what the installer is can make a difference.
The security level of these versions also needs considering, remember protected mode is itself a security enhancement. -
Making a Pages document compatible with Word and Full-screen view
Hi there! I would like to know if it is necessary to have Microsoft Office installed on my computer in order to be able to save a Pages document as "Microsoft Word" compatible. As of now, when I select the "Save As" option, I'm only able to save my document as a iWork 06 and 05 file. Also, I've noticed that on the video tutorials online, there is a "full-screen" mode and I was wondering if it was available on iWork 08, or if it is only for iWork 09. Thank, and sorry if these questions have been answered before!
Welcome to Apple Discussions
No, you don't need Office installed. That's the whole idea. Go to File > Export & choose Word (or text, rtf or pdf). The option to "save as" Word has been added in Pages 4/iWork '09 as well as in export. -
I have a Sonos music system that is not yet compatible with Lion and will not be for several weeks. How do I uninstall Lion and go back to Snow Leopard?
While we all have MacBooks only a few have Lion. There's a Lion Support Community. You should also post this question there. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion

I am running Yosemite and have just bought Pro Tools Express with the intent to Upgrade to Pro Tools 11. Pro Tools Express is not compatible with Yosemite and will not install. How can I get this done?
I have had this problem for close to a year. I have an Extreme base station, two Airport Express's and multiple G4 Mac's with up to date software. I have spent a huge amount of time trouble shooting, resetting, reapplying software and finally calling Applecare without any help. It would be great to get this problem solved.

Question
Would like to upgrade to Dragon Naturally Speaking 11 from DNS 6 (which would also entail a necessary upgrade from Windows 2000 to 7) but understand after all this expense and trouble, DNS upgrade may not be compatible with Firefox 6?
Main priority is voice activation upgrade. Ideas about how to proceed appreciated!AFAIK, it's been over three years since a WinXP laptop or desktop PC has been sold; I specifically bought a laptop in June 2008 because it was being clearanced by that retail chain to meet Microsoft's deadline, and got it real cheap. It was tagged for the store manager to purchase, but he let me have it because I exceeded his expectations for the services I performed for his store and thought I deserved it. Anything that wasn't made for Vista-compatibility will be very iffy with Win7, IMO - so that basically rules out anything that was made before like Oct or Nov 2007.
Unless another DNS 11 user happens to see this thread and can verify whether it works in Firefox 6.0 or not, I don't what to recommend except for you doing a web search to see what other DNS / Firefox users have to say about compatibility. -
FF4 tells me it's not compatible with Norton and SafeCentral...is this true?
When I downloaded FF4 it said it was not compatible with Norton and SafeCentral security systems I use on my laptop. Yet they show they are working on my computer. Are they working or aren't they when I have FF4 open?
We have released a new version of the plugin that is compatible with Firefox 4.
See the link below to install it or call us at 866-545-1959 for any assistance.

My Macbook Pro keeps updating iPhoto and iMovie between the version compatible with Yosemite and the previous versions. It does it at least daily. Why doesn't the App store understand when those two programs have been updated?

hi. I'm just wondering if pages is compatible with word. Example- if I type a document on a PC in word, save it to a flash drive, and then plug the flash drive into my macbook at home, can I open the document seamlessly in pages? A while ago, I tried typing a document in the mac version of word, and then opened it on a PC with word, and I got either strange symbols instead of letters or an underscore between every letter in the document. Will this happen between word and pages?
You cannot open it seamlessly in the sense that you just open it, make some modifications, save it, make some more modifications, save it again and then bring it back to the PC. To bring it back to the PC you have to go through a number of dialog steps and give the file a new name.
However, the import of Word documents to Pages works fine for almost all documents, and the export it decent.
You will most probably not encounter the problems you describe above, if the Word documents come from a PC with Office XP, Office 2000 or Office 2003. -
How do I go back to Firefox 5.0? I need to use Selenium IDE, which is not yet compatible with 6.0.
How do I go back to Firefox 5.0? I need to use Selenium IDE, which is not yet compatible with 6.0.
The link is to the latest update to 4.o which was 4.0.1
The 4.0.1 and 5.0 are two separate versions as installing 4.0.1 over 5.0 will just give you the old 4.0.1 as the end result.
The 5.0 is partially as a security update in place of 4.0.2.
The Skype extension was only for to make it so you can dial phone numbers on a web page in the separate Skype program right so if you were not using it then no need for the Skype extension for the separate Skype application to work. -
Work I do on my iMac is not always compatible with my iPad when work is saved through iCloud.
My work on Pages which I do on my iMac & iPad is saved through iCloud to each devise, it is not always compatible, especially word wrap and occasionally copy issues. Can someone explain if this is a weakness of the software. Or is there another explanation?

The Bluetooth low energy protocol is not backward compatible with classic Bluetooth protocol.
My iPhone 4s can not find my sonny in-dash player. However my iPhone 3GS does it. Very disappointed with this.
Any idea how it can be fixed??????Hello,
You are correct, Blue tooth low engergy, BTLE.(only) devices are not backward compatible with Classic bluetooth and cannot connect.
However the Apple 4S and above have Bluetooth 4.0 support.. Hardware wise it has bothClassic Bluetooth, like the 3GS, as well as Bluetooth Low Energy. There is no good reason why your 4s cannot communicate to your Sony in-dash player using the Classic bluetooth that resides in the 4S.
I know that this does not answer the why it does not work, but it should work. Do you have to somehow re-pair the new phone up to the player? Not knowing the model of the Sony it is hard to investigate.
And I hate to ask but are you sure that the Bluetooth radio is on in the phone?

Effects and key-frames not working on some clips Premiere CC 2014
Hi. I am having an issue where effects and key frames applied to both audio and video are not working, but only sometimes. Even after I render or export the video, the effects are not showing up. For example, trying to adjust volume using key-frames on some clips works fine, and not at all on others. The key-frames show up and I can see the volume changing in the effects panel, but it is not happening. Another example is changing the opacity on some video clips and it does not work sometimes. Same thing, I can see the key-frames and the values changing, but it's not actually happening. I have uninstalled and re-installed premiere pro and media encoder with no luck. I have uninstalled and re-installed the latest Nvidia drivers with no luck. Just to restate, this only happens on some clips and rendering or exporting the video does not help. My computer specs are:
MSI GT60 Laptop:
Intel Core i7 4800MQ (2.70GHz)
16GB Memory 1TB HDD 128GB SSD
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M 8GB
2880 x 1620 16:9 3K Display
Windows 8.1 64-BitHere is the exact screenshot. Now I'm also trying other effects as stated in my original post. But this effect is just an example. Is there really something that I'm doing wrong here? Or am I forgetting something? Is there some special "adobe doesn't let keyframes work on mpg's" rule or something silly like that?
I wish that I could post a video, but I don't know how.
Please let me know what I need to do to make this work properly.
