RIP QuickOffice; best Dropbox/MS Office compatible office suite for iOS?
Hi all:
I used to use QuickOffice Pro on my iPad and iPhone and was very satsified with it. I don't do a lot of content creation or editing on those devices but it was nice to be able just pick one of them up and make a few tweaks or additions if I needed to, wherever I was. Now Google has gutted the app, getting rid of all the features that made it useful to me, so I'm wondering what other alternatives there are out there.
The #1 thing I'd need is Dropbox integration, since that's where all my documents are, which sadly excludes the iWorks app. I know about DropDAV, but $5/month is a bit much for a service that I'd probably really only use only once or twice a month. I don't mind paying for an app, but I don't wan a subscription fee.
Right now I have DocumentsToGo, which is what I used before QuickOffice, but I just don't like it very much. I think the interface is ugly and awkward and the formatting always looks wonky and I worry about it getting botched when it saves. Any other ideas would be helpful!
Thanks in advance,
jf
Hi,
I might have some good news for you. The Quickoffice app still works perfectly with Dropbox but only if you have the older version of app (the version before Google's "light" version).
Just install the old version on your iDevices again. When trying to link the app to Dropbox you will get a "server error" pop-up message saying that Dropbox syncing is no longer supported. Just repeat the linking steps and it will link to Dropbox without a problem.
You will get the same "server error" pop-up when trying to copy a file to or from Dropbox for the first time. Just repeat the copy steps again and your files will then copy to and from Dropbox without any problems.
I have been using Quickoffice linked to Dropbox & Box since Google supposedly shut down this ability on 04/01/2013. I got a new iPhone and iPad about 3 weeks ago and I sucessfully installed the Quickoffice app and linked to Dropbox on both. The iPhone's app version is 4.1.1 and on the iPad it is: 4.5.0.
I did find it strange that Google could stop me from linking to Dropbox on MY devices from an app version that was released prior to them buying Quickoffice. Turns out they could not. Just scare tactics to get everyone's data in Google Drive. And it is precisely for this reason I do not use ANY of Google's apps or services....
Hope this helps.

Vista Compatible PC Suite for 3650 - When?
Hi, I would like to know if a Vista compatible version of the PC Suite for 3650 is in the works? And that would include ability to support the Vista native BT stack.
And one big question: Why can't we (3650 users) use the full featured PC Suite 6.82? We are stuck with a lame version of PC Suite. I hope there is still a better version coming, because v3.0 really sucks.With the 3650 you are stuck with whatever is the latest PC Suite version for it. I don't believe there'll ever be any updates for it to support Vista.
The new PC Suite 6.* generation depends on a very different mechanism to connect to the phone than what's available on the 3650. So, the 3650 would have to change to get the necessary bits that the newer PC Suite versions expect it to have. That's not going to happen, either.
Nokia could, of course, have made the newer PC Suite also compatible with older phones, but probably decided it wasn't worth the effort, or something (like not enough money budgeted for the development for such nice-to-have things). -
Best practice to Deployment Oracle WebCenter Suite for enterpsie
I have a lead with enterprise client; and we need to proposed to this client best practice to deploy high availability on cluster environment contains the following components:
- oracle web center content: it will used for WebCenter portal (spaces) repository for x-trantent portal as well as it will used to build internet website using WCM
- oracle WebCenter portal; to build x-intranet portal
- oracle access manager for single sign on authentication
- oracle web tier for HTTP server and web cache.
i reviewed the enterprise deployment "http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23943_01/core.1111/e12037/intro.htm" and contains rich information on the configuration.
However; my question is could you provide us a best practice to deploy above components on a high availability cluster environment "on a Linux environment prefared" to support and tested around 20k users? By the way client already had oracle exadata 11g server and it will used for this deployment.AW,

You can create a javabean and you can import that as a model .
Check the following project which will generate javabean (MaX DB)

This project will generate a javaben out of the tables in MAXDB.
You can follow any one of the above.

Best Anti-Virus/Firewall/Spam Software Suite for the Mac
What are the alternatives to Intego's Internet Security Barrier dual protection software suite?
I have to agree with all that has been said. Also - we have found Net Barrier - current version - is worthless - no longer a functional working product. Completely worthless on Leopard 10.5.5.
Nothing is usefully functional in Leopard - Cookie Filters - Banner Filters - nothing works any more. Hasn't for a long time actually. Waste of time to try an install this product.
Recently loaded it on a fresh 10.5.5 build - worthless effort.
The interface is worthless in my opinion - childish and frustrating.
Virus Barrier - works - Updater is very troublesome. Fails often. And... frankly - a waste of time - just gets in the way!
Intego Support - non-existent. Unless you count the one time they responded four weeks after a support request was made. Worthless effort! Intego needs to concentrate on their Windows product.
Now - one product that has always worked for us - never let us down - Little Snitch! Highly recommended!!!! Perfect Watch Dog! Grrrrrrr!
Mac Scan - also seems to be coming right along - but - the scans are just always a waste of time. Nothing is ever there! Updates regularly! Adds maybe one item! It was free recently or I would not have it installed! It's just amusing to watch!
As the one commentator said - responsible use and operation is always the best! Always!
The only Mac infection seen by us to date - the user invited it in the front door and made it comfortable and welcome. Very Dumb! Why sure - here is my admin password too!
Enough Said! -

What is the best free word processing or office program for OS X Mountain Lion?
"Best" is quite subjective. As William points out, TextEdit may be the "best" in someones eyes as it isn't cludged up with crap you don't need.
What are your requirements?
Basic text editing?
Do you need:
Table of Contents
Index
Footnote/endnote management
Different headers/footers
Page Layout
What are you going to use it for?
Technical Reports
Screenplay
Leaflets and newsletters

The Best office app/suite for N97?
Does anybody know which of the office suite apps work the best for the N97?
I was looking into the quick office, but I am hesitant because I don't want my license to disappear if I ever need to do a reset of any kind
Does anyone have any experience with a good app?
Oh and cheaper, faster, better would be great..
ThanksI don't know of an alternative full office suite for the N97, but depending on what you want to do you could try Evernote and AlternateReader (I have both on my N97)

Office Web Apps server for Lync DNS question
We are going to deploy an Office Web Apps server for our Lync 2013 clients, available internally and externally. We do not have a split-horizon DNS so it is not possible for wac.foo.com to have a different IP for internal vs. external clients. What is the
best setup for our scenario? It looks like we can only add one address in the Lync topology builder, so would it make sense to send everybody to the external wac.foo.com regardless of whether they are internal vs. external? Or is there a better option?
Thanks,
MattIt might be easiest to use pin-point DNS. Create an internal zone called wac.foo.com with a blank A record that points to the internal IP address of the OWAS/WAC server. This way, wac.foo.com will resolve to the correct
internal address, but you're not setting up a split zone for the rest of foo.com.
This trick can come in handy for publishing other items without recreating the entire zone, it's a nice one to keep in your back pocket.

Office or Creative Suite with site licensing on Lion Server
Can Office or Creative Suite with site licensing reside on a mac mini server for the network to use or do the applications need to be on each computer in the network?
The big software makers constantly winge about customers must ensure they are legal regarding software licensing. However they not only don't make this easy, they actually go out of their way to make it hard in terms of purchasing, license management and auditing. We will ignore the separate issue of some of them actively ripping customers off over pricing (I am looking at you Adobe).
I can say that it was technically possible with Office 2004 for Mac to install a single volume-license version of Office on a server and run it sumultaneously on multiple client logins. I have not had the opportunity to try this with Office 2012 for Mac.
Note: I had more than enough individual Office 2004 licenses to cover the number of clients when I did this.
Another approach to investigate is the use of KeyServer from Sassafras Software. This can take a standard version of an application and wrap it with extra license management code. The KeyServer software then controls how many simultaneous copies can be run, you can even book copies out for use on a laptop you are taking out of the office. The booking would be for a fixed time limit after which it is released and no longer works until you contact the license server again.
See http://www.sassafras.com/licensing.html
I believe in the past and maybe still now, that Sassafras worked with the major software developers to enable this. I don't know whether Adobe, Microsoft, etc. are still enabling this or whether they have continued to show their stupidity by stopping this and making license management even harder. I suggest you contact Sassafras to discuss this.
Note: Even though FileMaker has serial numbers and user licenses, it is possible to easily manage things using a single serial key as FileMaker let you buy a volume license key and you are simply allowed to run up to a that specific number of simultaneous copies, there is none of the stupid hassle of product activation etc. linked to individual hardware devices. -

Brand/ Remove Office 365 Login Page for SharePoint Online
Hi there,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Thank you very much for setting up this great forum. I have learned a lot of good tips from here.
We have a challenge which we would like to find a solution to.
We are using Project Online with SharePoint Online with Office 365.
We are trying to find a solution to brand/ (if branding is not possible) get rid of the Office 365 log in page.
What we are trying to achieve is:
1. Users click on a link, say:
https://abc.sharepoint.com/project1/
2. Instead of seeing Office 365 login page, we would like them to be able to see the login page with our own brand or a login box to enter username and password.
Thank you very much in advance for the time you set aside to share your knowledge with us.
Sincerely, we really appreciate your kind help.
Charlotte Tang
Charlotte TangHi Charlotte,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize the Office 365 login page for SharePoint Online.
We can implement ADFS for the Office 365 subscription, then customize the ADFS forms based on login page.
Per my knowledge, If no ADFS you will need to use the Microsoft login page.

Office Web App - Use for viewing but not for editing
Hello,
i'm searching for a possibility to use the web app server only for viewing documents but not for editing.
I want to accomplish this for docs and ppts.
So the possibility to edit in Web App should be greyed out or even better, vanish completely.

Does the iOS app only support Office 365 implementations of SharePoint?

App-V Office 2013/Office 365?
Hi,
In order to App-v Office 2013, apparently you need Office 365 ProPlus? How to get it, we do have Office 2013 ProPlus but that's not sufficient? Don't get what the difference is actually.
Note: we don't want to use Office 2013 click-n-run.
J.
Jan Hoedt
Note: the click-n-run doesn't give the option to mention you Exchange server, the junk folder used in Outlook etc., that's what we really need (just as the setup.exe /admin option in Office.The difference between Office 365 ProPlus and Office Professional Plus 2013 is licensing only as the text you've quoted shows and as Rory has provided details on as well.
This is separate from how you deploy Office. With either Office 365 or Office 2013 you can choose to use a standard installation or the Office Deployment Tool (App-V). Office 365 also provides the Click-to-Run version which you download from the Office 365
site.
If you have licensed Office 365, but want to use the Volume License media, you may have to purchase the media separately (which is really a download from the Volume License site). You may be required to purchase the minimum of 5 VL licenses to get access
to the media, but check with a Microsoft licensing expert for clarification.
The only supported method of deploying Office 2013 / Office 365 with App-V is via the Office Deployment Tool. This means that you can't use the VL media (SETUP /ADMIN) to create a configuration and capture that with the Sequencer.
