I have some geographic spreadsheet excel data I am looking to put on a map of sorts for analysis of market potential. So far I have found nothing to do this on a Mac. I am wondering if its possible to do anything like this on a Mac.

Typing in X11 stopped working. For example, if I type zxcv into my keyboards, the 5678 is what shows up on my screen. This happens in all of the x11 apps I use (xterm, the gimp and xournal). As you can imagine, this makes all of these applications unusable.

I don't mind paying for it if it is good.
I am new to Mac. I was told that Windows Word documents were compatible with Word for Mac. The problem is that I have created flow charts within Word documents. Word for Mac renders them static images; no longer editable. In addition, Word for Mac does not seem to have the capability of drawing bent lines and snapping from origin box to destination box as does Word for Windows.

Basically a maps application that you can use without needing a connection to the internet.
I have a EMac with Mac OS X vs 10.3.9 Prior user erased hard drive. Took to ADR data recovery and they scanned the hard drive and were unable to recover any data. Looking for input on other techniques to recover data from hard drive or other companies that specialize in Mac data recovery.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI just got a non-Apple keyboard, the Unicomp 104, and I absolutely love this beast. They even printed me custom "command" and "option" keys when I asked them to. The only thing I miss is that there are no volume control keys. Now, I found this link with a little hack to make an Applescript to change the volume: [URL]
This is much better than nothing, however I wonder if anyone knows how to map the vol+, vol-, and mute keys to other keys on the keyboard. I'd rather have that, because that way gives me the white volume box, and has the popping sound to give me an idea of the volume level, and can be modified with option for more incremental control, etc.
I have the most recent Airport Extreme and I would like to setup port mapping so that I can use my Apple Remote Desktop from outside the local network. I am having trouble following guides that were geared towards older software versions of the airport extreme. I can't find how I can get to the port mapping (forwarding) in the device
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy roommate often hooks his Macbook to his HDTV. The problem he has it sometimes is hard to read text. He can zoom is while holding the Ctrl key and then scrolling up with the scroll ball on the might mouse.
What he'd like to do is be able to map the side button on the might mouse to the control key so he can just click that and then scroll up to zoom in (so there is no need to hold the physical key on the keyboard).
Is it possible to map an NTFS network drive onto my Snow Leopard running MacBookPro?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to move all my movies and TV shows to a 1TB external drive that used to be my Time Machine (now I have a 2TB Time Machine.) Half of the content is on my iMac's internal drive, the other half is on a 500 GB external called "Media Extension." If I close iTunes, rename the Media Extension to something else, then rename the 1TB to Media Extension and move all the files, will iTunes still see all the files that were on the Media Extension? Obviously it won't see all the files that were on the internal drive, so I'd have to remap those. Similarly, will Time Machine add additional copies of all the files or will it see them as the same since they are still on "Media Extension." I might just blow away all my TV shows and movies from iTunes and then drop them back in and wipe out my Time Machine so I don't duplicate all these movies, but just wondering if I can reduce the work in this way.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI really need to free up one of the USB ports on my iMac, so was looking at the bluetooth keyboard. Now, I can probably get used to the lack of the number pad, but I'm more concerned about the lack of the delete key. Backspace is great, but I'm a full-time writer and sometimes the delete is a heck of a lot more useful. My local Apple store is a LONG way away, so I've got a couple of questions:
Is the keyboard itself the same size as the regular full wired keyboard? That is, are the keys the same size, spaced the same, etc (eg, the regular full keyboard with everything on the right-hand side chopped off)? Secondly, is it possible to map the delete key function onto another key that I don't use? Looking at a map of the bluetooth keyboard I'm not sure which key exactly I'd want to map it to as they've got rid of all the extras on the fullsize which I don't use.
I was moving partitions in VolumeWorks and accidentally ejected the Lacie Disk. Now whenever I try to use it i get this:
http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/4281/erroram9.jpg
I clicked initialize once, but I closed DiskUtility and it never had time to do anything. I know this because I can still use DataRescue to get my files. The problem is, the files will not be named or organized correctly! On disk utility, it will not let me mount the the drive (although it still shows the icon on disk utility) so I cannot repair it. Shoot, apparently initializing it removes the partition map. How can I get the partition structure back in place?
I am trying to find a good sales territory mapping software program that will allow one to draw a territory by selecting zip codes, counties, etc. (but I really need it to be able to handle zip codes).Does anyone know of any software for the mac?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI just bought one of the new dual-band AirPort Extremes, to replace an older AirPort Extreme (the last generation before this one). I exported my configuration from the old AEBS to a baseconfig file, disconnected the old AEBS, and plugged in the new one. I then imported the baseconfig file, only to find that although its light will turn green, the AEBS will no longer show up in AirPort Utility. To get it back, I have to do a hard reset of the AEBS.
Through painstaking troubleshooting, I have determined that the problem occurs if the configuration includes a port mapping for SMTP (port 25). If I create all of my port mappings (and there are many) BUT that one, then all is well; but as soon as I add a port 25 port mapping and Update the AEBS, it will not restart properly (green light but no one is home).
i am running awin7 in bootcamp. in this bootcamp i am using outlook 2010. i cannot create an "@" in emails. is there any shortcut to create an @? is there any combination to create the windows "alt gr" on the macbook air keyboard?

I have read that it is very helpful to separate the applications programs on one disk or volume and place the data on a separate disk or volume..as described below:
"Avoid putting your data (images, spreadsheets, documents, music) on the same volume as your system, and preferably not even on the same physical drive as your system (eg a partition on the same drive as the system). It�s one thing for a hard drive to fail; it�s quite another to have both the system and your data gone." This is from the [URL] website.
My system has multiple hard drives, but this newbie is wondering how actually I accompany this.. do I simply save the photos, spreadsheets , etc , onto the different drive as I am working with them within the applications?
I have searched the forums for help on cloning a DATA dvd (or Cd for that matter) but so far all i have found is info on copying movie dvd's...I am looking for a program that will let me clone a Program DVD that I have to make a backup copy. Can anyone suggest a good program?
I tried using the Disk Utility but once it ripped it the image was over 6 gigs and I can't figure out how to burn it to a new disk...do I compress it as if it were a media dvd?is there a program that will rip the data to an image that is already compressed?
we all know that if we use unsecured wireless networks we now have an issue as any old idiot can use firesheep and wreak havoc with our information.
So what I would like to know is what is the best way of countering this?
I know of the Firefox plugin that can be used but to be honest I really don't like the idea of moving to firefox.
Can anyone think of any other ways to block firesheep - or any similar application from stealing our data?
I have been thinking long and hard and haven't come up with an answer.
Yes I agree not using an unsecured network would be a good start yet sometimes this is unavoidable and as part of my job requires me to use Twitter it could present quite an issue.
I bought a new 500GB hard drive and I already have a 320GB in my 13" MBP. I'd like to swap the two but get all the data onto my 500GB HDD so everything is exactly the same when I turn it on. Of course I can use Time Machine for this without any major trouble, but the problem is I don't have a drive to put my backup onto and then load it onto my new 500GB drive.

Is there any way or program to recover data from an external hdd with a ntfs-structure that has been deleted using ntfs for mac (paragon) on osx?
I have tried several windows apps but i'm only able to recover the files that have been deleted in windows, the files deleted using osx don't even show up in the applications.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been using an old G4 iLamp model for years, and it's been wonderful. Today it wouldn't start up, and the repair guys told me that the power supply and logic board were shot. Doing the quick math, the cost of repair got me more than halfway to a much better machine, so I'll probably get a new iMac.
When I do, how do I get my information from the backup drive (LaCie using Quicksilver that backs up everything every night) onto the new machine? What about all of the software that is registered to the old machine serial #? Do I have to reregister it all? Is it as simple as plugging the backup drive up to the new machine and dragging and dropping literally everything on it onto the new hard drive?
just simply can anyone tell me how to remove this data from imail when viewing my emails
I formatted a mini-DVD of my webcam by mistake. I did a 'quick-format'. Do you know a good software (if I have to pay it's ok) on OSX to recover the data from it?
View 4 Replies View RelatedBasically i've had a HD which refused to read some data off it (only about 5 files out of 1Tb files) and I suspect it was only a sector or two that wasn't able to be read. Now is there an app or something that would read the entire disk to make sure it can be read properly? These files arn't backed up as they in relative terms are not important, however if more and more files become unreadable then clearly it's on it's way out.
