I recently started using iWork 09 & love the apps, but not the look. The grey toolbar buttons are inconsistent with other OS X UI elements & too bland IMO. Here you can compare Pages, TextEdit & OpenOffice. My vote goes for the Aqua buttons in TextEdit, OpenOffice and most other OS X apps.
View 5 RepliesI'm using Pages in iWork 09. I want a save button on top in the toolbar. I tried to customize it, but it doesn't look like I have that option. Is there seriously no way to create a save button?
View 13 Replies View RelatedI purchased a used Macbook Pro from ebay. Appeared to be in good working order when I first started working with it, but I have updated from OS X 10.9.2 to 10.9.5 and downloaded Open Office program, set up my mail and went through the system preferences and personalized it. Also ran disk utilities. Then, this AM, when I restarted, the header icons on the right side are grayed out except for the battery %, the date and time and notifications. Also, in mail and safari, the toolbar buttons are blank (forward, back, print, mail, bookmarks, autofil, history and downloads). I went to the disk utility from the recovery partition (repaired disk and disk permissions). I also reset parameters. Don't know what to do next. Not sure if this is a hardware or software problem, but I am assuming it is software (OS X) related at this point.Â

I have been having an odd issue with iWeb and just recently Pages where letter spacing is horribly inconsistent making reading (and typing) quite difficult to do. The effect is quite random, but what happens is that all of a sudden, both of these programs will not space letters properly. For example, in the phrase: "hello world" the phrase might display correctly in program, the spacing between random characters in one word (such as e and l in the first phrase) may be scrunched close together or spread out a bit (usually the former). The only programs that I have seen exhibit this is Pages and iWeb. The odd thing is that the text shows up correctly in other extensions (like when I upload my iWeb page to mobile me), but if I convert my pages document to PDF, the character spacing problems retain.

I tossed the Word Plist file and that did not work.
I have run Virus Barrier X5 and found a about 10 files with Virus 'W97M/Pinky.B' "Quarantened" them and still have the problem.
The problem started -- I think -- when I was doing heavy editing between Numbers and Word. But I don't think it is related (though who knows at this point). Without these programs I'm rendered pretty useless.

I need to update iWork on my Mac cos iWork 08 docs don't work on my new iPad. But iWork 09 is about 18 months old now so surely will be updated soon. Would anyone who is learned in the product cycle of Mac apps care to hazard an educated guess on an update?
View 2 Replies View RelatedIndeed, is there a difference? I notice that Family costs more than the other one, but I can't make out what difference there is in the description.
View 7 Replies View RelatedIs there any talk of an update of iwork '08 during Macworld '09? I am a switcher to Mac as of last month and I really like pages instead of word. I've been using a trial version and I'm going to buy it, but I was wondering if I should stick it out by using google docs in the event that they release iwork '09. By the way, in case any admins are reading this post, why don't they include Apple software in the Buyers Guide?

View 5 Replies View RelatedSo I used the iWork '09 trial for 30 days now and now I have a box version and I want to simply use the buy function from the trial to upgrade to the full non-trial version. It has: Quote: If you've purchased an iWork '09 box, you'll find the serial number on the Installing iWork '09 booklet. There's only one problem, there's no serial number on the booklet! How do I install using the buy function or do I have to install the full iWork suite again on my computer? Seems kind of silly. If so, do I need to then uninstalling one of my versions of iWork '09? And if so, which one? How do I tell the difference at that point?
Some of you might be wondering and about to comment on the fact that I should have just bought the online version and saved the hassle. The reason why I bought the box is because I could get it for $39 at my girlfriend's campus computer store.
I know this probably has been answered elsewhere on this forum...but I can't find it. I already own iWorks 08. Is there enough of a difference/improvement between 08 and the 09 that would make it worth getting (I am a cheap Presbyterian you know)? From what I have read it seems that most really love the 09 Keynote.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI always thought that Apple prided itself on consistency and aesthetics. So why is there inconsistency in the look and feel of between the windows of different apps and within one app itself? I'm looking at you iMovie. Scrolling bars can also slightly vary in width between apps. Personally I like the brushed metal. I understand that some people think that it looks "dated", but what does that mean anyway? The pyramids look dated too, but they're still cool. I don't like the grey & grey-blue look (iTunes). To my eye it comes off as cheap (Windows-like) looking. I also don't like the semi-transparent charcoal look, because I don't like light text on dark backgrounds...just a preference.
Also with that look there is a different feel. The red, yellow, green buttons are dark until mouse over. This decreases a quick visual understanding, and if you prefer cmd keys, mouse over is irrelevant. Shouldn't the OS enforce consistency between apps? Couldn't the OS allow the user to choose the look and feel of the windows across all apps? Not that Apple would likely allow that choice. Anyway, whatever the future holds for the UI, I hope it's consistent and aesthetically functional. I'll also hold out against hope that Apple offers 2 or 3 choices.
lately I can't use the buttons in vBulletin. While it works here again, I guess it's not Safari but vB's fault. What's the matter with it, and where to point other administrators to fix that?
View 4 Replies View RelatedJust today I received a (refurbished) airport express in the mail. I had trouble setting it up at first, but finally was able to create a network. Since then I've been having numerous problems. I've tried searching the internet and this forum for a situation similar to mine.
I have a cable modem running to the airport express via ethernet. I also have a printer plugged into it. All of my software is up-to-date (including the airport express), the light on the device is green, and I've restarted the modem, airport express, and computer. I am running 10.6.4 on a MacBook Pro (2.26 GHz).
Here are some of the problems I am having:
1. When I try to connect to my network in System Preferences, it will ask for my password. Once I type in the password and click okay, the dialog box asking for a password pops up again after having already entered it.
2. When I try to connect to my network using the Airport tab in the menu bar, it will either:
A) Tell me my password is incorrect (even though it's the correct one, which is stupid because it's a password remembered in keychain).
B) Tell me that the "Connection timed out"
3. Once I finally get connected to my network, I have to ***** with "Network Diagnostics" and "System Preferences" to get the thing to actually connect to the internet. Usually this means renewing my DHCP lease, etc.
4. Once everything is in working order (I'm on the internet, printer can print wirelessly, etc) the internet will drop out after about 5-10 minutes.
I'm all of the sudden having problems with the airport connection in my MacBook Pro laptop at home. In areas where it used to work---a week ago--the signal comes and goes from 4-5 bars to all of the sudden none and I am disconnected from my wireless internet. Nothing else has changed (cable modem, wireless router).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have been trying out all the normal programs for Mac screen recording (iShow U HD, Snapz Pro X, Screenium, Screenflow, even Adobe Captivate!) but not of them run smoothly at ~30 FPS on my 2009 MacBook Pro, they are very choppy and inconsistent. Is this just an issue of lack of hardware, and if I get a beefier machine, it will run better?
The MBP specs are: 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo w/ 4GB RAM
Also, on a slightly different note, when I go to upload some of the more simple, less choppy videos to Youtube, they lose a LOT of quality. Any tips on uploading? I use .FLV or .MOV typically, but they never look very good at all xD once they upload.
All, I'm a complete Mac newbie, just made the switch from Windows, so I apologize if similar topics have been discussed a million times, but I've been unable to find an answer to my specific issue.
I recently purchased a 13" MBP (OS X 10.6.4), and have dual 22" Acer monitors that I prefer to use when at my desk (I close the MBP and use an external keyboard/mouse). I have the Apple mini DP to DVI connector, which works fine for driving the first monitor, then I have a generic (bought on ebay) DVI to USB connector that was working for about 2 weeks, now it no longer does. It runs off of the DisplayLink 1.6.2 beta driver (1.5 wouldn't work). The first time I simply installed the driver, had the MBP open, then plugged in the USB connection and it was detected. I then closed the MBP, and would then put the MBP to sleep, return and it would still recognize it. This time I shut down the MBP, returned and it doesn't recognize the monitor.
I've tried everything I can think of, from uninstalling/reinstalling the driver, to keeping the MBP open in hopes of it recognizing the second monitor, but no luck.
I'm trying to avoid shelling out for a Matrox device, but even then I'm not convinced that it will work. I'm assuming it's a driver issue, so I'm trying to also avoid anything that requires using a driver, but of course everything seems to use the same DisplayLink driver.
I am looking at files with the Finder in "column" format. When I select a file in the list, I see a preview of its content as well as details, like the kind of file, its size and the creation, modification and last access timestamps. The strange thing is that the dates are formatted differently for different files. I have seen the following variants:Â
Friday, August 15, 2008 at 24:47
Aug 7, 2012, 22:30
14/09/13, 06:23Â
I can't see any reason why the formatting would be different. Obviously ls and stat show no difference: they consistently show the same formatting. For example, for a file that the finder shows as "14/09/13, 06:23", here is what ls and stat show:Â

3. Right-click the iTunes icon and select "show in finder"
4. In Finder, right-click the iTunes icon again and select "Show package details"
5. Open "contents" and locate the "resources" folder.
6. Replace the file "iTunes.rsrc" with the one downloaded
Short version:
Replace /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/Resources/iTunes.rsrc with the downloaded file
