"word" like apps or programs

Was wondering if the ipad has any word processing apps or programs available or if it comes with one..something similar to (dare I say it?) microsoft word?

All you get built-in with the iPad is Notes - which is just a very basic notes app. Apple do make a Pages app, which is fairly cheap. If you havn't got iTunes, and therefore access to the app store, there is some info about it here http://www.apple.com/ipad/features/pages.html and here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4065
There are also apps made by third-parties - but as I havn't got any of them (nor Pages) I'm not in position to comment about how good they are to use.

  • Hello  I upgraed my iphone to ios 7 but its dosent work like app stor dosent install any brogram or update programs and its slow and stuck plz help me

    Hello
    I upgraed my iphone to ios 7 but its dosent work like app stor dosent install any brogram or update programs and its slow and stuck plz help me

    My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
    I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the  iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
    The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
    Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine.

  • Father's macbook now mine. How can I change name, admin, etc without losing apps and programs?

    Hello.
    My father bought a Macbook Pro 15'  retina 8Gb ram 256Gb SSD about 2 months ago.
    He set it up, bought many apps and programs but eventually got bored of it and gave it to me.
    He is not a Mac enthusiast and thought he should give it a try but he didn't stick to it.
    I'm not a Mac enthusiast either, but a good notebook is an ok present so I took it.
    I installed some programs and stuff, tried to learn how it works (I have no idea, I was always using windows), and I think I like it.
    However, the MacBook has my father's name, my father is the admin, and all the apps programs etc the he and I bought and installed are in his account.
    I have his password though. That's how I've been using it the whole time.
    How can I change the MacBook to make it "my own"?
    I have an apple ID cause I have an iPhone etc but I'm sure just changing that under the admin page won't be enough.
    Will I lose the apps my father bought?
    Will I have to reinstall all the programs that I installed while I was using the MacBook? For example will photoshop and capture nx be deleted as if I was formatting a pc and I will have to install them again?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    PS. MacBook is now running Mavericks OS X 10.9.4 and I want to upgrade.
    But first I want to make myself the "owner" to start getting things in the right order.

  • I am looking for a word processing app

    I am looking for a word processing app that I can use for sending .doc and .docx format papers via email or uploading them to websites directly from my ipad 2 without having to export them to or sync them with my actual computer.  Does the Pages app allow users to do this?  I need to make a purchase of such an app soon.  If this app is incapable of these actions, can anyone suggest an app or design an app for me that does them?

    Pages can export documents in MS Word format. When I last did this (with Pages '09, the Mac version), the result was a .doc file.
    Note that this is a translation, and like most translations, it's not always a perfect one. Some features of Pages are not supported in MS Word, and some Word features are not supported in Pages.
    For a more precise answer wrt Pages for iOS, you should repost your question in the iWork For iOS community. The link will take you there.

  • Create a new DB user like APPS user

    Hi all,
    I want to create a database user that have [select] and [execute] privilages for all tables under all schemas in eBusiness Suite database instance.
    My aim, is to create a safe user that can execute any query like APPS user do, but he can not update\insert\delete like APPS user do. Because APPS user should be limited to a few DBAs only, while other IT developers need to select or exexte programs only.
    the problem come from that not all eBusiness Suite DB objects under one schema, they are distributed under many schemas like APPS, HR, ..ect.
    Any advice on how to create such user pls?
    Regards
    Bas.

  • Best app or program for backing up everything on iPhone

    I have just put iOS4 on my 3G and yes I lost all my contacts my calendar reminders,my notes,my book marks and some pics.Does anyone know what the best app or program is for backing up everything from my iPhone
    Contacts,Calendar,Notes,Bookmarks,Pictures,Sms and anything else I've forgoten.
    I've heard of Touch copy which can do all is there a better one about?

    If you still have the backup file, a program like this might let you pull the data:
    http://homepage.mac.com/vaughn/msync/
    I use PhoneView which is Mac-only, but TouchCopy is frequently recommended here and I've not seen bad comments about it.
    As Justin said, regular syncing is the best backup. To protect myself beyond that:
    I always manually move my backup file so that iTunes does not overwrite it with a new one, allowing me to roll back.
    Before major syncing activities (such as setting up a new phone) I generally export an archive from my calendar and address book apps, or duplicate the database, so that if it all goes wrong I can roll back to those--I would expect Outlook has a similar feature.

  • The first 7 or 8 letters of a sentence are jumbled as I type. This happens only after a period of inactivity. Short or long. I start to type and a word like 'anybody', looks like this: 'ybodyan' I have done all the normal fixes. No luck. Ideas? Thx

    It's in every text-input app I use in my normal day.....most frustrating as you have to do a doublecheck especially in documents which do not have any special spellcheck system. I've done the cleanmymac, maintenance, cocktail, PRAM reset, Font Cache Smash fixes.....and still I'm dogged by this. Its almost as though the motherboard or some interface system is 'sleeping' longer than it should (if there are any input areas of the MBP which rest during short periods of inactivity) and then the initial keystrokes on the keyboard are somehow not registered and only 'kick in' once half of a new word's characters are already on the screen........grrrrr.

  • Some of my apps and programs crash when opening: "....has quit unexpectedly"

    Due to a system issue I had to reinstall Mavericks 10.9.5, I also reinstalled all programs and apps from a backup, but was advised NOT TO copy back my old Library folder, since that was where my previous issue was.
    So now some apps and programs refuse to open, what shall I do to solve this issue, without having to copy back my previous Library folder?.

    Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
              SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
    from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
    In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if iTunes crashed, you would enter "iTunes" (without the quotes.)
    Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
    ☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
    Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
    ☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

  • Offers apple an app Developer Program in Germany too?

    This is a question I should ask in the corresponding german board.
    But I can't find one! Perhaps there is non. Whatever I do, I end up here.

  • Is there a way of transferring information from word processing apps to a laptop that is not connected to the Internet?

    Is there a way of transferring information from word processing apps to a laptop that is not connected to the Internet?

    Yes - but - you need an app that supports file sharing and you still need iTunes on a computer, or you need an app like Folder Plus that lets you mount the iPad like a USB drive. You need the helper app on the computer as well.

  • Use Pages like a drawing program

    I'm on the trial version of pages right now, and before I purchase the program, becasue it seems really flexible, is is possible to use Pages like a drawing program, or as other page layout programs like Pagemaker or InDesign?
    iBook, iMac DV   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Kyler,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions. Neither PageMaker, InDesign, nor Pages is a drawing program. Yes, there are some very rudimentary things you can do to insert lines and boxes, but that's a far cry from what Freehand will do. Steve Jobs introduced iWork by saying, "We're building the successor to AppleWorks." Many have inferred from that statement that Apple will eventually release all of the iWork apps that currently make up the AppleWorks suite: draw, database, and spreadsheet. But that's just speculation, although at least somewhat accurate. So, if you need a drawing program, Pages isn't going to get it done for you. But neither will PageMaker or InDesign.

  • Why does the iPad not support flash player? I would like to watch programming from att uverse but cannot because of this restriction

    Why does the iPad not support flash player? I would like to watch programming from att uverse but cannot because of this restriction

    Because NOTHING that is iOS supports Flash. Never has never will.
    The only possible option is to try the Skyfire browser from the App store. It is an internet browser that converts flash to HTML 5 so that you can attempt to view it on iOS devices.
    I have never tried it so I can tell you if it is any good, but it has gotten decent reviews.
