What word processor also corrects grammar? I purchased Pages only to find out that it doesn't!
Can someone recommend a word processor that corrects grammar as well as spelling? Pages was recommended to me in my local Apple store but it doesn't help with grammar. Note: Don't believe everything you are told!
Microsoft Word does a grammar check, and this site has a list of free grammar checkers: http://www.yourdictionary.com/dictionary-articles/free-online-grammar.html. But do be aware that grammar corrections are nuanced things, not so easy for any computer to correctly point out as compared to spelling. I offer this quote on the topic of computerized grammar checkers:
"...for the most part, accepting the advice of a computer grammar checker on your prose will make it much worse, sometimes hilariously incoherent."--Geoffrey K. Pullum, linguist.
The best grammar checker is always a real person who is fluent in the language reading over what you've written.

Upgrade your operating system? Call sales support to return the package/ undo the purchase within the 14 day timeframe? Whichever you prefer...

Just because I have an imac pre 2007 why can I not order photo albums???!!
I spent hours building a photo album for my parents only to find out that because my mac is earlier than 2007, even though I have 10.6.8, I can no longer order?! What is with that? This makes no sense. I can go online to various "photo shop" place and regardless of the OS and computer I am working from I can order a photo album so why can I no longer do this through iPhoto on my MAC?
How do I order my album now? If somebody could please explain as I am going home in 1 month and really wanted to surprise my aging parents with this book.I found this:

How do I use my iCloud???
I purchased 4 movies and 2 audio books from iTunes only to find out my iPad2 didn't have enough storage, so I purchased more storage from iCloud.
My iTunes account only shows the 4 movies that need to still be downloaded (not the two books) After purchasing 20GB from iCloud I am still receiving the "There is not enough available storage. You can manage your storage in Settings" message. I have gone to my Settings, where it shows I have the new, extra storage. I have set all the iCloud settings as shown on the Apple website. In my iCloud settings, it shows I have 17GB available out of 25GB. In my General settings, it shows that I have a capacity of 28.6 GB, while my Available is 2.9GB. (????)
I don't know why I still can't download the movies. I wouldn't know where to go (how to get to) the iCloud if I could...
Also, iTunes has sent me receipts for the movies and audio books I purchased as well. Where are they???
Thank you SO very much for any assistance you can offer me!Cancel your storage upgrade
If you upgrade or renew your storage but no longer need it, you can cancel. If you cancel your storage plan within 15 days of an upgrade or within 45 days after a yearly payment, you can contact Apple for a full refund. After this period, you can downgrade your storage for the following year.
Note: Partial refunds are available where required by law.

Since I purchased about $70 worth of movies and books and they won't load onto my iPad, do you think iTunes will refund my money?
If you make more room on your Device perhaps you can View/ use the purchases...
However if you would prefer a Refund... you can always ask... be sure to explain your situation...

hello everyone i have macbook air, hello everyone i have macbook air and my startup disc is full i checked everything and and find out that all space is of OTHER and i dont know what is it and what i have to do with that
First, empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the available space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as "Backups." The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal. -
Hello im trying to "erase all content and settings" on my iphone 4, but it keeps asking for a 4 digit passcode and i have no idea what that passcode is. It's none of my previous passwords I've had on the phone since i've used it. How do i find out that Passcode?
Are you sure it's asking for a four digit code?

After seeing the production of Matilda in London I purchased the whole sound track and it did not completely load. I've never had this problem before so I just forgot about it. Today I am downloading an album only to find out it's missing the voacals. Do I have to start just settling for these kinds things. I'm feeling taken.

Is there a way to search for movie rentals only? I don't want to buy movies and I'm tired of clicking on a movie only to find out its for purchase only?
The best solution I've come across so far is to dump all movies into a shareware app called iVI. It'll show whether each movie has subtitles or not.

What word processor is right for me?
Hi guys.
I have done extensive searches on this topic, but still have some unanswered questions.
First of all, my 1gig black macbook will be arriving some time next week (fingers crossed). I can't wait. As so many people with the intel chips, I now have to chose a proper word processor that will meet my needs. Needless to say, I can't wait until Office 2007 is released!
Essentially I need to be able to receive word documents and powerpoint presentations from windows machines. I would like to be able to open them and edit them as I please. Also, I need to be able to send them back, open them on a windows machine and print them.
I am a university student, so I only use word for papers that can occasionally include digital photos, or just pictures from the internet.
I use powerpoint to look at lecture notes from my professor and need to able to take notes on them i.e. add my own info to the slides.
I can live without Excel for now. I have seen the recent beta of NeoOffice, that looks like a very good solution. Can I send/receive documents to/from windows machines? My only problem with this solution is that it seems to require close to 400mb. That seems large to me and I would think the program might not be as snappy as I want it to be. Any thoughts?
I could instal MS Office for macs, but since it doesn't run natively, I am hesitating. What about a program like Papyrus? I have downloaded a trial version and it runs extremely fast. I was not able to find a powerpoint equivalent on there. Is there one?
Also, what about iWork? I saw that pages is is mainly for publishing and using fancy templates...Is that program more than I need? Keynote of course looks great.
Any comments are much-appreciated.Appleworks has always worked for me since leaving microshaft! I use notta for MS stuff on my computer and in my home. I just went to the recent Pages and like it a lot - appleworks works on my MBP on intel and is quite fast but I am also going to switch over 100% to pages! I am actually in transition. neooffice loads very slow but it it nice. I tried and used to use it but i remember reading that there was support or development issues going on re: not happening or else the actual freeoffice ro whatever the parent app is does not support anythging with neooffice anymore so i stopped using it. I found some stsuff slow in neoooffcie due to it being run in Java.
If it was to be developed and ssupported more I would probably try using it. be careful of the various builds re: your OS too. i was using a panther build before and that was my introduction.
I am happy generally with pages. I need something that is as stable as I can get for business stuff.
Neooffice is somethin if it does take off again that I would consider. but slow load and sosmetimes i type and there is a lag before the characters emerge on the page. -
What is the install button on the purchases page
I bought and installed Lion(10.7.3) in August 2011 but I still see an install button on the purchases page. Need I go through another installation process? If not what is the purpose of this button.
Thank you in advance.You no longer have a copy of the Lion installer on your Mac because it self deletes after it has been run. That allows you to download it again should you need to use it.

What should I do if my iPod has been stolen and when I checked my support profile and entered my serial # and I received a message that the serial # had been registered to another Apple ID account? Is there a way to find out the Apple ID that it was registered to? I have already checked find my iPod and it shows my iPod is offline. I have already filed a police report.
No, sorry, there is no way you can get that information. The police perhaps could, but it would probably require a court order and it's unlikely the police will go to those lengths unless they have reason to believe that this theft was not an isolated instance and hence worth more of their time than the single theft of an iPod.
Even if they got the ID, it may well just be yours. Apple's registration database often contains such errors; I get the same message for some of my devices when I know I registered them to my Apple ID and the devices are all still right here.
Regards.
