Sunday afternoon: School assignment due tomorrow

Hi all,
I am hoping someone can offer some suggestions.
We are a Mac household, but purchased MS Office as the adults in the house work a lot with businesses who have not converted (yet). My daughter's enlightened school has installed Macs (yay!).
However, in typical teenager style she has an assignment due tomorrow and has just informed me that she sent the assignment home and now can't open it.
Her document is in Pages, and of course, we don't actually have iWorks here at home .... grrrr
I have tried opening the Pages document in MS Word, but of course it is not recognised at all. I tried opening with Text Edit but still no success: it says the file is corrupt?
Could it be that the file is really corrupt or do I need to purchase iWorks ? I am hoping there is some workaround at the moment, just to get us through the Sunday afternoon, assignment due tomorrow blues.
Thanks for any assistance!

Hi Suzanne,
You can download a free thirty-day trial of iWork (no s) '09. There's a link to the download on the iWork product page here.
Regards,
Barry

  • NEED HELP SCHOOL PROJECT DUE TOMORROW @ 7:45

    I need someones help. I had to make a movie for my ap world history class, and @ the last process, which is audio entending(something like that) it freezes or known as not responding. Why does it keep doing this? Is there a SOLUTION?

    You give too little details.
    iDVD can appeear to be frozen, but it still works. This is especially true for the audio encoding. Depending on the complexity and duration of your project, as well as the power of your machine, the encoding phase can take long hours.
    I understand you don't have time for experimenting, so here's what you can try:
    - open Font Book;
    - select all fonts that have a dot on the right;
    - do Edit>Resolve Dupplicates.
    Then try again with iDVD and your project. This time leave enough time, even if a right-click in the iDVD's icon in the Dock tells it's not responding.
    And check you have enough free space: at least 10% of the HDD (general rule for Mac OS X), or 10 GB (some even say 20 GB).

    Illustrator keeps saying "Can't save illustration" and this assignment is due tomorrow - I'm worried

    I ended up on the phone with Adobe support last evening.  They told me due to the theft of subscriber / customer information from Adobe I needd  to reset my password and reboot my computer.  I ended up loosing the data in the clipboard however resetting my password and rebooting solved the problem.  Rebuilding my work always seems to go smoother the second time through so I finised my homework none the less.  As for equipment, I use a Sony Vaio SVS15127PXB iCore 7 Laptop and a Dell 23" Touchscreen Monitor.

    Hi.  I have a Dell PC running Windows 7 64 bit.  I have the latest version of Adobe Reader,  It worked yesterday.  Today I have job training to do that is due tomorrow morning and I can't open PDF files.  I have to open a guide and read it and take a test tomorrow.  I have deleted and reinstalled the application.  I have rebooted.  I have made sure my PDF's are associated with the program.  Every PDF on my computer won't open and I get the same error message.  It simply says Attempt to access invalid address.  How can I fix this?  Thanks.

    Hi Don,
    I have seen this issue fixed for some users by modifying the following registry key:
    The key is "HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management" MoveImages
    Set the key to 1 instead of 0 then reboot the machine.
    In case you still face the issue try the following registry key change:
    The only thing you have to do is rename the following key at the REGEDIT, and everything will be fine !!
    BEFORE:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.exe
    AFTER:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\iexplore.old
    Note: Please take a backup of the registry before attempting this change.

  • Need Help with my School Assignment - Error Message

    Hey guys,
    I'm doing a school assignment for my Object Oriented Java programing class. Here's the assignment requirements:
    "There are five kinds of flowers, and their associated costs. Create an array of strings that holds the names of these flowers. Create another array that holds the cost of each corresponding flower. Your program should read the name of a flower and the quantity desired by a customer. Locate the flower in the name array and use that index to find the cost per stem in the cost array. Compute and print the total cost of the sale. Write your solution in one class: FlowerCounterArray.
    The solution should implement the following two methods:
    - addOrder(String flowerName, int quantity) to add to the order. This is in addition to reading from the terminal.
    - printTotal() to print out the total cost to the terminal."
    I wrote up some code so far and I want to test it, but I am getting this error: "']' expected" on the newFlower[0] = new FlowerCounterArrays("petunia", 0.50]; line near the end of the code.
    Here's my code:
    public class FlowerCounterArrays {
        private String flowerName;
        private double price;
        public void addOrder(String flowerName, int quantity) {
            for (FlowerCounterArrays flower : newFlower) {
                if (flower.equals(flowerName)) {
                    total = price * quantity;
                    System.out.println("The price for " + quantity + " " + flower + "(s) is " + total);
                else {
                    System.out.println("Unfortunately we do not carry that type of flower here.");
        public void printTotal() {
            System.out.println(total);
        FlowerCounterArrays[] newFlower = new FlowerCounterArrays[5];
        newFlower[0] = new FlowerCounterArrays("petunia", 0.50];
        newFlower[1] = new FlowerCounterArrays("pansy", 0.75);
        newFlower[2] = new FlowerCounterArrays("rose", 1.50);
        newFlower[3] = new FlowerCounterArrays("violet", 0.50);
        newFlower[4] = new FlowerCounterArrays("carnation", 0.80);
    }Thanks for the help guys! Much appreciated!

    Ok. I'm kind of new to all this, so some stuff I'm not 100% clear on.
    I get what you're saying though. I put the array into the method.
    Although now I get a new errod: "cannot find symbol - constructor FlowerCounterArrays(java.lang.String,double)"
    I get this error on my newFlower[0] = new FlowerCounterArrays("petunia", 0.50); line
    Here's my new code:
    public class FlowerCounterArrays {
        private String flowerName;
        private double price;
        public void addOrder(String flowerName, int quantity) {
            FlowerCounterArrays[] newFlower = new FlowerCounterArrays[5];

  • Lost project due tomorrow: blue folder, no images

    I have a project almost completed. I just needed to drop in the audio. It is due tomorrow.
    I turned on iMovie 08 this morning and saw no project, only 2 blue folders. A first level folder said, "St" (my project was "St. john's"), and the nested folder said, "Quicklook." But both are empty and my photos (all with Ken Burns effect applied. Approx. 75-100 photos.
    Never had one problem with iMovie 08 before this. Never.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Please!!

    marie2boyer,
    I think that your mac friend is right. I came to the same conclusion, & have overcome the problem.
    I first tried to rename the project without the punctuation, but it didn't work.
    Below describes what did work:
    I created a new folder in the same location as the original project file (finder/movies/iMovie Projects) and named it something similar (and making sure there were no punctuation, brackets etc) I then open the main corrupted blue folder & dragged all of the contents into the new folder. Then & only then (this is important) rename the extension of the new folder to .rcproject. Double click on the new folder OR right click and click on 'open with'.
    It worked for me & saved lots of hours of re-work.
    If the file is still corrupted you could try the contents of a backup copy.
    I hope this helps. Even if it is too late on this occasion, it might be handy in the future should this happen to someone else or happen again. I also suspect that the punctuation was the problem & I too won't be doing it again.
    Thank you for your time & your reply.

  • TS1702 Anyone know how to get ipad 3 to get unstuck while its updating? My device froze for over a week now and cant access any of my documents cos of it and my uni assign due next mon. Help

    My ipad 3 wont allow me to use any app that is 'updating' , im sure its frozen cos its been a week and still not finished updating. Worse part is,my uni assign is on pages and its due, and i can no longer access ANY doc on my ipad. I will fail my double unit for sure, destroy my gpa, and lose $5000 - the cost of the unit of study. Help fix this please. 

    Well, that got me part way there. When I typed
          /usr/local/bin/snort -?
    I got
          dyld: Library not loaded: /sw/lib/libpcap.0.dylib
            Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/snort
            Reason: image not found
          Trace/BPT trap
    so back through the same fire drill I went, this time with
          fink install libpcap
    and finally, when I typed (again)
          /usr/local/bin/snort -?
    I got
          /usr/local/bin/snort -?

  • HELP! Major Project due tomorrow...need quick fix advice

    I have just finished creating a movie and my deadline to submit is tomorrow. Everything looks good, but when I added in a few clips, following this... it speeds up the rest of the video (i.e. the audio is normal, but the video looks like it is moving in slight/fastforward) is there a quick fix for this? I have not experienced this before...

  • Cancelled school order due to shuffle problems

    well it finally happened and i cant say i blame the governors of the school i work for: i have been working for a very long time to bring mac computers into the school i work at in hong kong but the obvious fiasco with the shuffle has destroyed all my hard work! My school was in the process of considering placing an order for around 350-400 shuffles for senior students and staff. The idea was to standardise file and info transfers across the pc and slowly burgeoning mac network BUT now that has all changed!!! They have been monitoring Apple's absolute failure to address the green and orange blinking light issue and so the whole order has been shelved! For the last two years I have struggled to get a small suite of emacs and some powerbooks into the school but that now looks as though it will be the end of the experiment with macs and os x. Okay, accuse them of being shortsighted if you want, but why would they want to invest around 300,000-400,000 HK$ in a product which now looks to have serious problems! And, sad to say, I can now sympathise with them: my first shuffle, bought just over a year ago, has also gone the way of the blinking light despite all of my efforts to do everything the other forum contributors have tried in order to get it to work...and the one i bought only three weeks ago as a replacement has just done exactly the same!!!
    Thank god their intel macs don't appear to be suffering from the same poor manufacturing problems!
    Basically I am so so disappointed, not just in the fact that I, personally, now have to badger Apple HK to replace my latest crappy-quality shuffle, but because the failure of Apple to monitor this forum and address the problems encountered by a huge number of its very obvious afficianados, has completely undermined all my attempts to get their presence and their once excellent products into my school...Now that's the sort of halo-effect Apple should have tried to avoid!!!

    Youre quite right, I didn't ask a specific queston...but the whole point of my post was to show a consequence of Apple's failure to answer the very very obvious question on this forum i.e. why are all these shufles failing?
    So, I'll say it simply: why are so many people's shuffles 'dying', and why has Apple not addressed this issue?

  • School assignment

    hey, i need help with my assignment. in this assignment i need to be able to use ArrayLists, and im having trouble with that. the plan is to load student information into a data base and save it in the arraylist. i think is done by using a temporary folder. heres what i have so far:

    ok, i want to do somthing different now, i want to give each student an ID #. Also, i have a deleteStudent method that can delete a student. I want to give a student an ID. Thats the easy part, but, if a student gets deleted, i want there ID to never to be gone forever. For example: joe:ID 5, Greg:Id 6. Delete Greg, now no Id #6, and wen new students get loaded in, they do not go to number six, but go to the end of the list. i was thinkin about using
    student.add()would this be the right direction, any help would be appreciated, thanx

  • P L E A S E HELP! Macbook wont turn on and i have an assignment due monday!

    Macbook Aluminium 13"
    Hi everyone, first of all sorry to seem like an attention whore in the subject but i'm desperate!
    Today i went to turn on my macbook to finish a music assignment, when i found out it wouldn't turn on.
    Now when i say it wouldn't turn on, i'll need to go into a bit of detail;
    It makes sounds as if it's on (Humming).
    It has one green light on down the left side.
    The screen stays completely black, nothing.
    When i plug the charger in, nothing.
    I took the cover off the back, and i can hear the hard drive make all sorts of sounds as if it's booting up and shutting down.
    Now i fear i may have spilt water somewhere near the laptop today (i was using it this morning fine), and when i opened up the back compartment it was damp, with clear signs of water.
    So far i've only FRANTICLY tried everything i can physically do like messing around with buttons (i can't imagine that would do anything), and briefly tried to dry the inside with a hair dryer on low from a distance.
    Since then it has stopped making noises entirely, but the green light remains on.
    Now it is sitting on a bed of dry rice in a desperate attempt to suck the moisture out (if that is infact the problem).
    I'm 99% sure it's water damage of some kind, but i can't be sure (1%!)
    So please if anyone has any idea what may be going on, PLEASE HELP!

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Unfortunately you may have to wait until the water has dried on the components before using it again. Water may cause a short on running components. As long as it isn't running and it dries out it should be fine. In the future never leave any food or drink near your computer. My college lab would not allow anyone who did use the computers at the lab again.

    thanks for the replys.
    enginner was ear for 2 hours and its down to a dodge cable in the ground so got to dig up the road/garden and lay new cable . he was measuring the ohm resistance which was 3ohm on one and 35 ohm on the other which is why the broadband keeps going slow as it cant hold a stable connection and it was 6mb connection in the road box but only 4mb connection on the wire that comes into the house, so dodgy cable, despite it being stable for years before ! problems only started 2 months a go when i upgraded from option1 to option 3 for the same price, prob bt trying to get there own back for giving me to good a deal !!
    he had a look at the stats i posted noise margin etc and said they where quite good, as not urgent will prob be a week or two before the new cable is done !!

  • Mental Block this Sunday Afternoon

    Dear Members of this group,
    If I am creating multiple instances of a button called buy on
    a movie (e.g.
    buy1 and buy2) and giving each one a different name. How do I
    get the name
    of the instance clicked? If I use the code below I get the
    name of the
    original button not the instance name. So easy I presume that
    I am
    embarrassed asking the group.
    Buy.onPress = function() {
    trace(this._name);
    Thanks.
    Gerry.

    Rothrock,
    Thanks for the clarification. I am now much clearer. You have
    enlightened me
    this Sunday. Thanks again.
