What should someone do if they cannot afford to buy Excel for Mac....

Hello
What should I do if Leopard does not come with Excel for Mac STUDENT EDITION, and I am on a low budget because my parents insist that I should save the money until I finish High School.. BTW I am only 13 yrs old.
Do you think I should save up the money, but I really need it too. I can't really afford it when I have to save up my money for future uses.
Do you think I should use my Debit card and buy the Microsoft Home office (excel for mac) which is $199.99 but I have also heard a lot of things for the Leopard too. That I would have to upgrade my RAM and everything, but I don't think I have that kind of money, and I certainly do not want to borrow money from the bank and I am defineately not going to spend money on that stuff. I think I should have brought the Macbook Pro.
Did you think that a Macbook with only 1GB of memory and 2 GHz of the CPU speed is good enough? I also want to run windows on it too.
Do you people think that I would have to buy a virus scanner for the windows one? I really don't want to, and I'd rather know about this now because I really need it.
What do you think I should do?
If you have any suggestions that are not too hard for me. Please tell me ASAP.
Thank you.
Shang.

Then download OpenOffice for free. It should do everything you need.

It is plenty good enough. 2 GB of RAM, however, would be very helpful. Plus RAM is quite cheap. Windows is not cheap.

Don't bother with it. Surf the web and check your mail on the Mac side and you should be fine.

  • HT3702 My Master card card was rejected in the US store, it was issued in Jordan from Jordan Ahli Bank! However, it is accepted in the Jordanian store, any reason why? and what should i do to get to use the US store for future purchases?

    My Master card card was rejected in the US store, it was issued in Jordan from Jordan Ahli Bank! However, it is accepted in the Jordanian store, any reason why? and what should i do to get to use the US store for future purchases?

    Because they are the terms of use of the stores - terms from the US store :
    The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance.
    And similar terms apply to all other country's iTunes stores. Part of the reason is licensing (Apple can only sell content where the providers have granted them licenses to sell it), amd part might be due country's laws (some country's have restrictions as to what can be sold within their country). If there is content that you want that is not currently in the Jordanian store then you can try requesting that it be added (but the content providers might not let Apple sell it there) : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html

  • I would like to take excel classes / tutorials (intermediate to advanced) and practice on this computer. Could someone clarify, what software and operating system is needed? Can I just use numbers? Do I need to download Excel for Macs and use Camp Boot?

    Numbers is a joke compared to Excel. If I were you I would find a class/tutorial first, find out what they use (and it won't be Numbers) and see if you need the Mac or Windows version of Excel. Note that Excel is not sold as a seperate product from the Microsoft Office suites.

    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then try Apple ID Account Security
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57

  • I would like to get data analysis for solving statistic and making graphs, but this function is not in add-in. How should I do? I also set up microsoft office for mac 2011.

    I would like to get data analysis for solving statistic and making graphs, but this function is not in add-in. How should I do? I also set up microsoft office for mac 2011.

    Microsoft didn't include that with the 2011 version.
    There is a third-party application that substitutes for the add-in: http://www.analystsoft.com/en/products/statplusmac/
    They also have a limited, free version.

  • Hello ! I wish to burn on a DVD a video that exceeds 4,7 GO. So iI can't.What should I do ? I work on iMovie 11 with a Mac OS 10 /10.6.8 thanks !

    Hello !
    I wish to burn on a DVD a video that exceeds 4,7GO, but it doesn't work. The burning on iDVD ends with a failure notice. What should I do ? Thank you for helping
    Bernard

    VisualHub can burn a file on a DVD that is over 4.7GB.  It can be found in the wild for free.  Do a Google search.  If you cannot find it use Video Monkey who took the place of Visual Hub.

    After I tried to claim serail number but I was stuck in step three (my internet access down when I was moving to last step)
    Now I'm try and try to do that again but it's said that I've already got serial number so what should I do?
    How can I get Osx Mountain Lion?

    Your only option will be to contact iTunes Store support and see if they can help you.  Click on this link and choose the Account Management option, and create a new case with iTunes Support.

  • What (tech.) specifics do I want when I buy my i-Mac?

    I don't know much about computers...
    I want to buy an affordable computer. I heard the i-Mac is good. Is it?
    What I want the computer for (and thus, what the specifics should be attuned for) is video editing on programs like Final Cut Pro, Flash, After Effects, Color and Motion. I will also use the Internet from time to time and usually be listening to music while I do everything. I have lots of external hard drives that I use.
    What should I be looking for under technical specifications when looking for a computer? What co-operating system? Would it be bad to get an older version of the i-Mac? And also, if you had the time, and knew of places to get the cheapest but bestest computer with the right specifics, then please tell me.
    Thank you for your time.
    Thank you very much,
    Ryan Jobbs

    Hi Ryan - if you go to the Apple Store,http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/specialdeals/mac/imac they have refurbished iMacs, a 27" i3 or i5 would be just what you need, they have large screens and large drives and powerful CPUs. If you are feeling flush, go for the i7 27", that will give you all you need and more.
    But the i5 should be more than adequate for you.
    Edit: you can also take a look at the 21.5" or 24" core 2 duos, they're pretty powerful as well, and cost a lot less.

  • Cannot close "Help" in Office for Mac

    I have Office for Mac 2004 and I have this problem whenever I try to use "Help". Once help is open, I can continue to navigate and edit the document and can find all the help topics easily enough. I cannot, however, seem to find a way to quit help when I am finished without closing the application altogether. The help window is anchored to the menu bar without any links or buttons to allow me to close the window. I've tried Command + Q, but that just asks if I want to quit the entire application. Any ideas on what is wrong and what I can do to fix it?

    I do wish someone would answer this because it's been bugging me since I got my computer and installed Office 2004. Oddly, my wife and daughter, on their respective computers, running Office 2004, don't have the same problem; their help window behaves like any other window, with the command bar at the top with the little red dot to close the window etc.

  • Acrobat X v10.0 - cannot Submit Form in Outlook for Mac 2011

    I created a form in Acrobat X v10.  When submitting the form in Windows, it opens the Select Email Client window, user can select Desktop Email Application, click OK and the completed form is sent via Outlook.  When I try to do the same on a Mac, it goes through the process, but doesn't send.  It looks like it will, but when I go to the Sent Items, it's not there and doesn't send. 
    I suspect it's something to do with Outlook for Mac 2011, but does anyone know of a workaround other than saving the file to the computer and sending the old fashioned way?  I really would prefer users not saving the file.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi oc_jane,
    Is Outlook 2011 your default mail application?
    What version of Mac OS are you running?
    If you click the following email address, [email protected] does it launch a new blank email in Office 2011 w/ that email address in the 'To:' line?
    Thanks,
    David

  • Cannot install Apache Open Office for mac

    I downloaded Apache Open Office for Mac but cannot complete installation
    I believe I have completed all instructions from Open Office.org but the application does not appear in Applications nor in the Dock

    You downloaded the file, opened the disk image, and dragged the OpenOffice application to the Applications folder, per these instructions?

  • What is the URL from which I can download Firefox 10 for Mac?

    I cannot use Firefox 11 for Mac because it does not yet support a security add-on that I require. So I want to downgrade to Firefox 10 for Mac in both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.
    However, I have been unable to find the URL from which I can download these two versions of Firefox 10 for Mac. Yes, I tried putting various keywords into the search box: "download" "Firefox" "previous versions" "downgrade" etc. Still I couldn't locate the URL.
    Would you be so kind as to send me the URL?

    Just replying to help keep track of the thread. I have been looking also. I can find where to load version 3.6 - but not 10.0.2
    We are having printing problems with 11 that we never had with 10 :-(
