What is Automator and Does a College Student Need it?

I've been reading up on automater, attempting to understand what it is but i'm still confused. What i think it is: a system that performs tasks regularly for you rather than you having to go and do them yourself manually. is this correct?
Well...im a college student. im not running a huge business or anything like that, so what do i need automator for? i ask cause i want to use my new macbook to the fullest and am lost when trying to discover and see what i should use automator for. Anything?

Whether or not you'll have any use for Automator depends on how you use the computer. It's there to make using the computer easier, something that everyone can benefit from time to time.
One of the best references for Automator I've found is http://www.automator.us

  • What about programs like excel and word? college students need these!!!

    college students need to be able to access files, send files, and store files using the programs excel and word, why cant i have these on my iphone?

    You can email then to your iphone.
    Use plain text format when emailing them.
    But as for saving them and editing them on the iphone, you can't.
    You cannot save or download and save to memory on the iphone.
    Hope this helps.

  • HT5787 what is iccid and does every iphone have it or just sprint iphones?

    what is iccid and does it only apply to sprint iphones or all??

    The ICCID is the serial number of the SIM card in the phone. For CDMA phones that do not have a SIM (like some Sprint phones) is serves the same purpose in the phone itself.

  • IPhone 4 or iPad 2 - what is more practical for a college student?

    So, here's the deal. I'm going soon to a college and, obviously, for a fair amount time I will be needing a laptop. The only problem is that my laptop is incredibly heavy and the battery life absolutely stinks, so I was thinking of getting myself one of these fancy Apple products, which nearly have everything a laptop has. An iPad 2 would therefore be perfect for all my needs as a student. A couple of days ago, however, I ran into a store which is selling an all-new 16GB white iPhone 4 at a price of € 499. The very same iPhone model has been my greatest wish-product for a very long time now. It is cheaper than the 32GB iPad model which I intend to buy (€ 579), so the iPhone 4 would normally be my first choice here. The only "problem" is that I already own an iPhone 3GS, which isn't that bad when compared to an iPhone 4. So, what should I do?

    i dont think a college class is a great place to use an ipad unless you can type out a lot of words per minute on it. I use my ipad as something that lays around and i pick it up when im sitting somewhere or am watching tv. This would be great for college but not in the class room. I talk to my sister about this all the time and see if students are using ipads a lot in college classes and she says there is some but they just end up playing games on them. If you do end up going for the ipad itll take a lot more dedication to stay focused in class. My sister has an iphone and uses it for a lot more school stuff than i would use my ipad for, but i do think both would help you they are both the best at what they do its just what you think youll need them for. Imop i think you should go to class for a week or two and then decide.

  • What is jailbreak and does apple support it?

    I have seen jailbreak and did not think it was something Apple would approve of so I did not pay much attention to it but then I see it on the Facebook Apple iphone 5 page and it looks like it is recommended.  Is it recommended?  What is it?  What kind of changes will it make to my phone if I decide to load it?

    What people want to do with their iDevices and jailbreaking is 100% their decision and they should not be criticized for it; however the apple forums is not the place where you'll get help. Simply google your questions and there are countless websites that will help you.

  • College Student need of assistance with component creation

    To whom it may concern,
    I recently purchased the Multisim software and there where components left
    off
    that are essential to I, the student and consumer.  My software didn't come
    with any UJT's and very few SCR's.  I understand that some way I can create
    a
    component using the component wizard.  For novice, it is not that easy and
    how
    am I to be certain that it is working correctly without defaults.  I found
    PSCIPE models for some of the components that I need to complete some of my
    assignments.  If you could add, some if not all of these.  But I most
    especially need the SCR C106F to complete a design project for one of my
    classes.  Thank you for all of your time and assistance.  Below is the
    PSCPICE
    models.
    Sincerely,
    Marcus Howard

    my daughter is a college student. she needs to write and compile c programs on her mac for a class this semester. what is the best place for her to start to get the correct compiler etc. to use ? thanks

    If you know that you will not be asked to design GUI interfaces, and the C programming course will adhere to command line compilation environments, then get the Xcode command-line developer tools, and skip the extra complication of Xcode until you absolutely need it. Apple has kicked GNU C to the curb and is rightly so, using Clang/LLVM compiler technology.
    Sign up for a free Apple Developer account using your Apple ID, and then visit the Mac Dev Center, and towards the bottom of the page, you will see additional downloads. Click on the associated, all down loads link. Know your OS X version beforehand, as the command-line tool releases are tied to general operating system versions, and the most recent Xcode version.  That said, there are currently two March 9, 2015 command-line tools for Xcode 6.2 — one for OS X 10.9 Mavericks, and the other for OS X Yosemite.

  • What is Laserfiche and what does it do?

    What is Laserfiche and what does it do?  Does it integrate with O365? Is it a standalone plan or an add on? 

    Hi Amanda,
    Laserfiche is a robust enterprise content, document and records management platform with integrated advanced capture solutions and workflow.  Laserfiche is a certified gold partner with Microsoft, fully integrated into the Office suite, including
    Office 365 and SharePoint.
    Laserfiche provides a platform for centralized content and records storage - ranging from image files to electronic documents to voice and audio files.  It is truly an enterprise wide content management system.  Very often you will find it coupled
    with SharePoint as the back end repository because of the strong workflow designer and engine, which is much easier to use than SharePoint's. 
    Laserfiche includes advanced capture tools in its product suite that can perform automated data capture from paper records, with index fields completed automatically based on the data extracted.  It is widely know as an integrative middleware solution
    as well, and at our company Accelerated Information Systems (disclaimer - we are a Laserfiche reseller and top partner for the North East US) we are able to integrate with ANY other application.  It really is a robust solution that adds features and ease
    of use to a powerful SharePoint platform.
    As far as your final question, Laserfiche is a stand alone product, but relies heavily on Microsoft technologies as it does manage the content we create through MS Office and every day printing.
    Please let me know if you have any other specific questions and I will be more than happy to answer them on this forum thread.
