What is the best application of Microsoft Office for the iPad?

Can I open word, excel, and .ppt with this app? How much does it cost?
Is it similar to operate as Microsoft Office Word 2011 for MAC?
Yes, of course that is why I recommend them as office-compatible apps for iOS. That is exactly what they are designed for - to allow you to work with your MS Office documents on your iOS device.
I'm not sure of the current price, but if you search the app store, they are very easy to find - Docs2Go and QuickOffice have been amongst the top ranked MS Office-type apps for several years now. Both also include a means to move files from your computer to your iOS device (QuickOffice uses an embeded file server over wifi, and Docs2Go has a free companion sync app for your computer).

Microsoft Office for the mac no longer is supported because it is a PPC App? Recourse?

What on earth is this power delegated to themselves to take away without fair notice that even applications bought through the apple store such as Microsoft Office for the mac, can no longer be supported because it is a PowerPC application. Since this was purchased through Apple, do they not offer an alternative?
I must call Rosetta Stone now also, huh? All this money wasted just because Apple has made the decision to f everyone?

Microsoft Office is not an Apple product. It is not up to Apple to support it regardless of where you purchased it.
Unless you want to learn a new language, don't purchase Rosetta Stone. Rosetta Stone is language training software. Rosetta is the codename of the technology that allowed PowerPC code to run on an Intel-based Mac.
Rosetta was based on code now owned by IBM. Since Apple does not own it, it can't just arbitrarily make it available to you to run the software that has been updated not once, but twice since the PowerPC platform was abandoned.
You might try asking IBM to write you some software to run your old programs, or you can update them to something newer. If that cost is too expensive, you might consider one of the alternative Office-type suites such as Open Office, Libre Office, or NeoOffice.
iWork is also an alternative, but it is not free. The three individual parts, word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation software, each cost $20 on the Mac App Store.

What is the best and easiest print app for the iPad and iPhone?

What is the best and easiest print app for the iPad?

Richard-
The best and easiest is to use the iPad's built-in AirPrint system with an AirPrint-capable printer. <iOS: AirPrint 101>
If you do not have an AirPrint-capable printer, all printing Apps are a compromise. I have an HP non-AirPrint printer connected to my WiFi router. The free HP App, ePrint Home & Biz works OK with photos.
Print n Share and PrintCentral each have their own browser, mail, text and photo programs that work well with the printer, but they can only be accessed from within other programs that have the "Open In" option. (So far, I think GoodReader is the only App I have with that option.)
You can run a program like Printopia or FingerPrint on your computer that will share its printer as AirPrint over WiFi. They both are reported to work well. However your computer must be on and awake any time you want to print. <Printopia for Macintosh> <FingerPrint for PC and Mac>

Sync for Mac user with Microsoft Office for the Ma...

I need to sync the calendar from Entourage (microsoft office) on my MacBook Pro to my E71 phone. Is this possible? I do NOT use the iCal. My address book is also in Entourage. --Thanks!

Since Office is not an Apple product, you'll get better response if you use a forum dedicated to Microsoft's Mac products such as <http://groups.google.com/groups/dir?sel=33607053> rather than an Apple forum.
Be sure to search the forum first in case someone has already had a similar question answered. You'll get your answer faster this way. Post your question in the forum if you don't find anything that helps you.

What's the best commercial clean up tool for the hard drive.

What is the best commercial, clean up tool for an internal hard drive. Mine is rapidly being filled and I'm at a loss as to how to clean it up. I don't know what apps, downloads etc are current or pertinent. I suspect that I have a lot of redundency, but I'm not confident in knowing what they are. My hard drive is approx. 93% filled and I'm rather concerned.

I downloaded the free trial of EasyDuplicatFinder and tried it. Works great and is pretty easy to get the hang of it. Found lots of iTunes duplicate songs that I dumped and freed up quite a bit of hard drive space. Check it out.

I just purchase my first macbook air and i don't know how to download my microsoft office 2010 that i have already purchased for my old computer. Do i need to purchase again for the microsoft office for the mac?

I have a windows computer before i purchased my mac and i had already spend $500 for microsoft office professional 2010, i would ike to know if i can download the same one to my macbook air and how to do it. please need help!

The problem is that your Office 2010 package is a Windows application, and Windows softare doesn't run natively under MacOS. As a result, you can't simply download it or install it on your MacBook Air.
You can set up your MacBook Air to run Windows as well as MacOS, using either Boot Camp (where you pick whether to run Windows or MacOS each time the system starts, but you can't run both at the same time) or using a 'virtual' Windows installation (where you use software such as VMware to create a virtual Windows machine which you run as a window inside MacOS), but in either case you'll need a licence for Windows, plus the virtualisation software if you want to go that route. In other words, it's not simple, though in either case your Office software would be usable.
Some software houses are prepared to cross-licence software in this sort of instance - they'll allow a copy for one platform to lapse and charge a relatively low amount for new copy, on the basis that the user has already paid full price, but Microsoft generally don't seem generally cooperative in that instance.

What are the best external backup battery choices for the iPod Touch 4G?

Hello,
I am so disappointed with the battery life on my iPod Touch 4G, even when I turn off location services and notifications and put it in airplane mode.
As such, I realize that I am going to have to get an external backup battery, even though I don't like the idea of carrying around yet another item.
What are the best choices out there, especially any ultra-portable (aka small and non-bulky) ones? I came across this Juice Pack Air - iPod Touch 4G Case, which seems like the perfect solution, but it is on back order and seems to have been so for a good amount of time. Who knows when it will be in stock again.
TIA for any and all help!

What is the best column width & font size for an ipad magazine

I'm creating a magazine that will be shown on the ipad I was wondering what is the best column width and font size to use. If someone has any suggestions I'd love the help.
thanks,

You should know how you publish it and what the technical limitations of each type are.
No one can or will give you any advise to use this or that font. Make several drafts, try it, pass on several drafts to testers and get response.
If you work with styles, it is then easy for you to change it to the best result with a few clicks.
Normally a column width with 37 to 45 letters I would personally suggest to be the best width, but opinions are very different on it. The more letters in a line the less readability is given, the less letters the more difficulty you will have to get an even grey factor. (I mean that through space between words some lines become bright others dark, which does not look so fine, I don't know the English technical term for that.)

What is the best spyware/virus protection program for the mac?

I'm new to the whole virus protection thing, and I know there are very few viruses out there for the mac, but better safe then sorry right? Plus i'm mainly getting it for the spyware protection anyway. Does Leopard already have some protection for it? Or would it be better to buy a new program? Thanks.

Normally the best defense against Virus and other scrap on the net is the User. Never agree to open something you are not sure about. Don't visit dangerous sites, and think twice before make a gesture.
After almost 25 years on Mac, and with X system, the only use for a AntiVirus is you can pass Virus to PC user but that ot effect your Mac. If you use Parallels or Bootcmp (or booth) you need a AntiVirus and Anti what the need on the PC, because that take 20 minutes on PC to be infected.

What's the best FM frequency to use for the Transm...

Hi all,
I'm having difficulty in getting my iPod car kit set up, so I am using my n900 for in car entertainment for the time being. Problem is that I can't seem to find a clear frequency to set the phone to use, so it doesn't keep picking up other stations whilst I am driving around.
I have just read that 87.5 is a good choice, as not many stations go that low. Problem is the n900 won't go that low, as far as I can tell.
Any suggestions?
If tnis post is a cure to your issue, please MARK IT AS SOLUTION.
If this post has helped anyone in any way, PLEASE SHARE YOUR KUDOS, by clicking on the GREEN STAR.

The lower transmit frequency limit is in there to make the device meet FCC regulations.. that is a regulation imposed of US regions and, to a lesser extent, Latin american regions that border with the US.
In addition, you'll be pleased to know that the N900 will not use certain European WiFi channels if a) the sim card is removed or b) the phone has a sim card but is OUT of 3G coverage.. again, to make the device meet FCC regulations.. (seriously.. when you go out of 3G coverage, the kernel reports it is switching from EU wifi to US wifi!!)
Let me put this into perspective..
From: http://www.nokia.com/results/Nokia_results2009Q3e.pdf
Nokia sold 3.1million handsets in the US 2009 Q3
Nokia sold 27.1million handsets in Europe during the same period.. That is 9 times as many.
The USA has its OWN firmware
and yet ALL versions of the firmware (including the UK specific one) are crippled to meet the requirements of a region that produces the lowest sales figures by a factor of 3 (Latin America produced 9.7 million units in 2009Q3)
Why the HELL are we suffering because of US restrictions..
That's like saying you can't use bluetooth because it isn't allowed on the Christmas islands.. (it is allowed.. not picking on you, Christmas Islands, but you are small!)
If the FCC wants a phone that doesn't allow broadcasts on sub 88Mhz frequences, and doesn't want certain Wifi channels to be used, the ALTER THE US FIRMWARE..
What next, BMWs have with left hand steering in the UK because the US drives on the Left?
Phillips TVs that only work on 120V because the US uses 120V..
I don't give a **** what the FCC say.. I'm not in the US and I have my own european and UK legislation to adhere to..
For a company that INSISTS on having a billion regional firmware versions, they don't appear to be able to get that right either!!! The UK version lacks UK specific restrictions such as the ability to us UK frequencies for wifi and FM transmission!!
Crazy and very very irritating

The best case and screen protector for the iPad 4 Retina?

I have just purchased an iPad for my parents as a surprise gift and it should be arriving this Friday. I am quite stumped however on deciding on what case do I put this iPad in and what screen protector do I put on the iPad.
For screen protection: I have seen a few videos and it seems like the ZAGG HD Screen Protector is a good way to protect the screen and enjoy the retina display. Does anyone have another opinion?
For cases: I was thinking of this case: Besdata Ultra Thin Magnetic Smart Cover & Back (http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00CB7QGGM/ref=oh_details_o00__i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) Does anyone recommend it? I also thought of getting a case to cover the back and pairing that up with the Apple Smart Cover .. Does anyone recommend doing that and can anyone recommend back covers?
Sorry for all the questions but I want to have this iPad perfectly set up as a surprise for my parents this Friday.
Thanks in advance.

I also thought of getting a case to cover the back and pairing that up with the Apple Smart Cover
Why not get the Smart Case, a case and cover in one? And with a cover, you don't really need a screen protector. Well, at least I don't.

What is the best wireless mouse/keyboard combo for the Mac mini.

Right now I'm using a Logitech k360 keyboard/mouse combo that works great on my pc but it's horrible on my Mac mini. I'm even debating whether I should return the Mac mini because I think something may be wrong with it. Also, my Mac mini is inside of my entertainment center which has a glass door on it, could this be part of the problem?

This should be no issue whatsoever. I have a very similar setup
with the Mini inside and enternainment center w/glass doors.
Just make sure there is enough room to have sufficient air flow
around it.
Is yours constucted out of wood or metal?
....I'm even debating whether I should return the Mac mini because I think something may be wrong with it.
Are the keyboard mouse issues the only issue or is there
something else in addition to that?
What exatly do you mean by working horrible? Just what is
actually going on when you use them. As I see on the website
Logitech only specs Windows OSes, it could be a driver issue.
Also, if this is the new Mini, do you have external USB3.0 drives
connected to it? There have been issues with Bluetooth, however
the Logitech specs do not state that it is Bluetooth but could
still be affected.

What is the best way to update flash for my ipad?

J

No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
1. Puffin
2. SkyFire
3. Photon Flash
4. Browse2Go
5. Swifter
Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."
