Applications :: Move IWorks 08 On Y MacBook Over To Mini Via Networking?
Jan 26, 2009
My MacMini HD crashed and I now have a new HD. I had iWork 08 n the Mini. Can I move the trial version of iWork 08 that I have on my MacBook over to the Mini using my network? I have the Mini as the main computer on that home network and wanted to know if it would be just as easy doing it this way (if it can be done)rather than downloading the iWork 08 online and then putting in my activation code?

I've got a Mac mini downstairs (plugged into my router and an iMac upstairs (connected to router via airport). What's the best way to make sure the two stay networked and connected? At the moment I have to manually click connect to the Mac mini each time and enter my password. And when the mac mini enters sleep mode it seems to drop the connection.

I'm interested in buying a new Mac mini, however, I absolutely loath anything wireless. (I'm aware that that's a minority opinion.) I was therefore wondering if it's possible for my Apple dealer to remove the built-in Wi-Fi card (AKA Airport Extreme) from the mini, just like they'll upgrade the RAM to 2GB for me?

I have added a Mini to my Apple family and Im loving it so far. For a while now Ive been ripping Blurays on my iMac for streaming to my PS3 for playback. Well the Mini has taken the PS3s place as my HTPC. So I setup the Mini on my network and all is well. I can connect to my iMac from the Mini and Vice Versa. I can screen share, no sweat. I can copy and paste files between the 2, no problems. My issue is mainly with the program Plex and iTunes. All my BDs are stored on my iMac so I pointed Plex to the iMac drive to add the movies. It appeared to work until I restarted the Mini at which point it appeared to lose track of where that folder is. If I try to play a movie it gives me an error like "file doesnt exist". I can go back in and add the source again, but this is starting to take a while to do and it keeps losing link when I shut one of the machines down.
So my question is... is there a way to automatically mount a shared folder on my Mini upon startup? Anyone have experience with plex know of a better way to do this? I tried it as an SMB share but that also didnt seem to consistent. iTunes is a whole other issue. I dont want to have a different copy of iTunes on all my Macs, not sure how to address that one though. Ill have to start googling. I would prefer to have my iMac as the mainframe storing all the media and have my Mini and MBP get its content from there, but Im having a tough time figuring that out.

I'm a recent switcher from Excel to Numbers. For the life of me, I cannot find a way in Numbers to "freeze" headings so that as you scroll down or across the sheet they remain visible.
I'd be grateful for help; the matter is not covered in the video tutorials, nor in my little manual that came with iWorks, nor on the Help Menu.

I have recently purchased my first Mac a few months ago. While I use a Windows PC at work and had previously used a Windows PC and home, I was frustrated with the home laptop and switched to a Mac. Now my question is, I am looking for a Word Doc and Spreadsheet application for personal use at home and I am not sure which to get, MS Office for Mac or IWorks. I currently use Word and Excel (and am pretty familiar with both) at work and previously at home. I do basic like writing letters, expense spreadsheet calculations, account listing, etc. I would also like to be able to sent Word and Excel docs from my work computer (in MS Office for Windows) to my home computer and be able to work and edit them and send them back. Not sure if IWorks would let me do that, or if MS Office for Mac is the way to go.

If anyone can tell me how to open a Pages document that arrived as attachment in Mail? A fellow Mac user sent it. I don't have or plan to buy iWorks. I couldn't open it with the Appleworks that I have with OS X 4.9. Nor would Textedit and apps like that help.

So as I wait for WWDC to purchase my UMB, I've been reading about this debate b/w iworks and office. The story from an apple "genius" - iWorks allows you to open any office file (Word, excell or PPT) and work with in the native OS system without difficulty. You can also save to any of the above formats - so file transfers and exchange between workers/users should be seamless. So why get office? "Genius" answer: It's primarily for those that are comfortable with the way office looks, ie format. What I've been reading in this forum is that people do get both IWorks and Office for Macs (which apparently is not very robust), some go with boot camp and Office for Win. What are the actual differences? Other than how one looks over the other. Is there anything you can't do with iWork and need office?

I can't seem to be able to change the page orientation of a few pages, in iWorks Pages. To clarify - i need the orientation of only 3 pages in the whole document, changing from portrait to landscape. It can be done on MS, so i thought it might be possible on Pages, but i can't seem to figure out how, or find anywhere which tells me how.

When you select text that is not adjacent to each other using the command+drag method, in most mac applications you are able to copy and cut it, or delete it.
In iworks, it won't let you do anything with it! Is there any way around this? It's really annoying.

is it possible to network 2x virtual machines (on the same box; a Mac Pro) using any of the available VM suites out there (vmware or parallels, etc)? I'm developing/QAing client/server apps, and it would suck if i have to purchase more machines when I have 8x cores and 16GB of RAM available at my disposal on my MP.

I just moved over to Fusion from Parallels. I've installed Windows 7 64-bit and everything appears fine. However, when I go to switch from NAT to bridged networking I lose my Internet and local network connection.
Windows reports the network as "public" and throws up an exclamation point which says no Internet or local network.
Once you click on the network icon and look at the network adapter it shows that the adapter has an IP address from my Apple AirPort Router, but no default gateway.
Windows 7 diagnostics reports that it can't find the default gateway. However, if I manually set the default gateway (which I'm assuming is my router at 10.0.1.1) in the advanced network settings it doesn't take and just disappears after clicking OK.
I've also tried manually setting a static IP address in network settings within Windows 7, and like before it accepts the IP address but then Windows 7 diagnostics reports there's no DHCP server.
On the Airport Router side, I can go into logs and statistics and see that VMWare has obtained an IP address.
Both Windows and OS X's firewalls are off. I've tried reinstalling VMWare Tools and Fusion 3.0. I've deleted and reinstalled the network adapter (in Fusion) over and over.
In Parallels, if you used bridged networking Parallels would put two new "connections" inside your Network system preference. I noticed Fusion doesn't do that.
I don't know what else to try. I've read their support forums and bridged networking documents, but nothing appears to stand out. Everything works fine with NAT.

I know there is FireFox and Ie and sort out there but I like Safari and have never had a problem till now

I am in real estate and all I really need a computer for is email, and generating generic letters to prospective clients. I always used microsoft word, and out look for my day to day operations.
Does Iworks have something similar to Microsoft Word?
What year, and where would be the best place to buy Microsoft Outlook for my mac?
Someone told me you can find better prices then what Microsoft sells software for.

I was wondering about getting iWorks or Microsoft Office for Mac. The computer Im typing on is dying and full of viruses. I want to get iWorks but I need to know if I sent essay or something in pages as an attachment to my professor at the university and is able to open it in the email.
Also, what if I handed it in? Will he know the difference that I used pages or word? Like some of my professors want 1 inch margins all around the paper.

I've currently got a Macbook and a Macbook Air connecting to an Airport Extreme Basestation with the new firmware. Both the Macbooks have 802.11n and the new Airport Utility installed. My Macbook is functioning perfectly, however, my Macbook Air has the following problems:
1) It won't connect to the AE when it is set in the 802.11n only mode at 5 GHz. It will scan for the network but not find it. It will connect in the 802.11 only mode at 2.4 GHz.
2) It prints very slowly to my HP printer connect to the AE via the USB port. It will spool the page being printed and will take about 1-2 minutes before the printer finally print it. My Macbook doesn't have any problems printing. When connected directly to the printer, the Macbook Air prints fine making me think that this is a networking issue.
I believe the printing problems started after the upgrade, but since I use my Macbook more than my Macbook Air, I could be wrong about this.

Microsoft Office vs iWorks, can I open documents and do everything I can do in Ms using iWorks?
I am currently using a 2003 MS office and I cannot open some of the docs created with 2008 office. It adds on a "x" to some docs and I cant open those. How are they the same? How are they different?
I work for an organization that uses MS office. Was wondering if iWorks would allow me to open and use all the docs created in the new 2008 or whatever it is office. I work between the work environment and home. All peecees at work, all mac at home.
