Applications :: What Online Tools To Be Used For Business
Dec 25, 2010I will be starting my own business soon, providing various IT aspects for the SME market (up to 100 employees) anything ranging from technical support, to SEO and basic web design / development, including branding.

This is what I have so far;
Freshbooks for accounting

Applications :: What Is The Best Business Software For My Company
Mar 16, 2009I own a small lighting rental company that rents mainly to the film industry. I am looking for some software that will assist in making invoices as well as to keep our business more organized in general (accounting, expenses, etc).
My main issue right now is that I spend all day writing up invoices manually. One piece of equipment may contain 20 accessories (all with different rental rates) so I really need a program that has excellent "autofill" functions within it's invoicing. Some of my competitors use "Peachtree" but I don't believe they make one for MAC. I would prefer not to have to run something on Virtual PC.
The other factor is that I have only one other business partner who runs the company with me. Since we often bring in jobs through our two remote workstations (laptops) we need software that we can synch together throughout the day. Basically, we need our two laptops to be in communication so that whatever expenses/invoices/etc my partner enters into his laptop will be reflected on my computer as well.
Applications :: Finding Best Business Software?
Jun 1, 2009I've been doing a lot of research and feel like I'm smoking crack for not being able to find what I want. I recently started a small client-service based business that has assets. What I'd like to do is find one application that does all of the following:
- Allow me to track time by project/client/task, etc. with a built-in timer that also allows bulk input of time
- Turn tracked time into invoices easily
- Track my expenses and mileage
- Track my assets
- Integrate with my bank accounts for reconciliation of payments, transactions, etc.
- Maintain all of the financials of my company (things like depreciation of assets, taxes owed, financial reports, etc.)
- Light customer management
- Export ability to excel, .pdf and email directly from the app
- Possibility of future integration with online credit card payments
Applications :: Looking For Business Meeting Software?
Sep 26, 2009I am new to the Forum as of today. I am looking for business software or software sites where I might find business applications for my MAC and MACBook Pro. Specifically, right now, I am looking for an application that I can use to take and keep up with Business Meeting Minutes. I have Fusion and XP in a partition so I can use windows based software, but I am trying more and more to get away from the PC stuff and would really like something that works on my MAC's (Snow Leopard).

Dec 21, 2009Many of the operations I perform related to business, such as setting up different tables, doing different functions, etc., are easily performed on Microsoft Excel for PC. I'm sure all of the other business professionals in this forum can agree that Excel for PC truly is the application of the business world, allowing a vast array of different functions to be performed.
However, I am simply not satisfied with Micrsoft Office for Mac 2008. I know a lot of this has to do with the suite of applications (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.) being designed to run on Mac OS X, as opposed to a Windows operating system, but the feel and functionality is completely different.
Therefore, I am considering purchasing iWork when a new version is released.. this will allow me to perform different business operations on my Mac while I don't have access to Excel for PC. I will therefore avoid the frustration of Excel for Mac.
As a businessman or businesswoman, would you recommend iWork? How do you cope with needing to perform different complex business operations when you do not have access to Microsoft Excel for PC?

Applications :: Revive Business Card Printing In Word?
Dec 18, 2010I print my business cards from Word, using my Macbook. I use the Avery Ivory Matte business card stock, and really like the results. I like my design and have been using it for years. Lately, something is up: the cards come out dull. I've done this across several different printers, so I don't think it is the printer. I have a new one now.
I tried using new cards, same deal; comes out faded and dull when it used to be bright and vivid. Could this actually be the Word document itself?

Applications :: What Client Information Management Software Is Best For A Car Business
Jan 28, 2009I handle the administrative / web / marketing for a car tuning business called Evans Tuning (get a better idea here [URL]). Currently, we have the entire office running off of Macs (iMac for the main that is backed up via Time Machine, 1 new MacBook, and 1 New MacBook Pro).
Our setup works well for now, even the tuner here uses a BlackBook to tune cars with. We use Bento for CRM and filing orders and appointments. We use Quickbooks 2007 for Mac for financials. Our calendar is managed via iCal on our website and we even use the subscriptions feature to keep our office staff up to date with the current schedule.
Now on to our current dilemma. Bento is a great program because it is simplistic in the fact that we were able to get the database up and running rather quickly and its easy to expand with whenever new fields are needed to hold more information. Unfortunately, only the main iMac in the office is running Bento and it can only be accessed by that computer. I am looking for a solution that offers the same great ease of use coupled with network-ability (not sure if thats a word), but I want to be able to have multiple users manage the database at one time. This will greatly increase productivity as one user can access for billing information, while another takes an order, or even another sets up a new appointment.
Is there something out there that I have missed? I looked into Filemaker Pro but it seems rather difficult to setup, and isn't very user-friendly looking. It probably also doesn't help that I couldn't find a good tutorial on how to set it up or use it.
Applications :: Importing Business Cards Into Address Book?
Feb 21, 2009I've recently started my own business and have gotten involved with a number of networking groups. I'm now sitting here with a bunch of business cards. I have a Canon CanoScan 5600F that will let me scan the cards but I can only save them as PDF, JPEG, TIFF or PICT.
Rather than recreating all these business cards by hand, is there an easy way to import all these into Address Book?
Applications :: Creating Relational Database For Small Business
May 14, 2009We run a small travel company, and are trying to create a relational database or something that will help with producing an itinerary for quotes/invoices and manage the bookings (i.e.: paid, confirmed etc). I have the design all mapped out on a lovely piece of paper, and I know exactly what needs to happen. However, I can't get this into computer speak! SQL etc., are beyond me, but am pretty nifty on most Office type applications. Initially the plan was MS Access... but this can't be used on a Mac...
Then I tried Open Office Base, but am finding it very different to Access - not sure if the limitations are within Base or within my knowledge (I am trying to learn). Filemaker may be an option, but it looks as if it may get a bit expensive as we would probably need Advanced (Pro 10 looks a bit basic?) - and hence why I used OOBase.

Nov 19, 2008Since a few days something randomly appears in the dock for a split second. It doesn't stay on for enough time to really see what it is. I've tried to narrow it down but I couldn't find anything in the logs. All I know is that perceived by peripheral vision, it looks similar to the Console icon. I'd really like to know, since this behavior is quite suspicious. Is there an app recording the start of a new process? Alternatively I could make a screenshot every 125ms, but that's not really an elegant solution (plus an image of this icon). I haven't installed anything except Lyx and ProVoc recently.

View 1 Replies View RelatedApplications :: Damaged ITunes Files - Starting Over
Oct 9, 2009So the last couple of days iTunes has been hell for me. Couple of days ago, when I opened iTunes like any other time, I was presented with an error message saying my itunes library was damaged. Anyway, long story short, I've started over and created a new one and imported all my songs, podcasts, videos etc in. That all worked well, but I was still missing my precious play counts and ratings, though I was able to import my playlists. So what I did was import one of the itunes database files from the "previous itunes libraries" option. What happened then was that it removed all the files that I purchased after the date in which the database file was created. Annoying as I can't remember every song I've purchased.
The 2 main problems at the moment is that the files I purchased are already in my iTunes media folder, I found that out by just searching some songs I remember, but the matter of remembering each one is impossible. I contemplated the idea of "Add to library" but I think all that does is import everything again into the library rather than find any ones that aren't already in it. Is there anyway to get iTunes to automatically find the files that aren't already my library and just add those? Second problem is I have is the dreaded '!' next to many of my songs, again I am sure that I have these files in my media folder (I've checked), iTunes has just (for some reason) not found those files. Again, is there a way for iTunes to automatically find those files? As opposed to me finding and clicking on everyone of those '!'s and locating the files manually?

View 5 Replies View RelatedApplications :: Pages- Insert Different Starting Page
Jul 13, 2010This is an issue w/ every word processor I've ever tried to replace Word w/- the only reason I still use it is because it has an easy way to start a new chapter w/ a page number other than one. I am very saddened to see that Pages is also incredibly complicated in what should be a simple task.
I write novels. I prefer to have my chapters as their own document. I am not interested in "master documents" or any of the Open Office "solutions" that were so annoying (and confusing). When starting a new chapter- let's say "Chapter Five"- if Chapter Four ended on page 126, obviously Five should start on 127. I have spent the last hour trying to figure out how to do this, on several different message boards. Can it be done or not? I can't believe MS is the only company in the world to make this an easy task- of all companies to make something "easy". Word is my last piece of ANY MS software- I'd love to be done w/ it, and Pages looks great and is very, very intuitive- but this issue has driven me nuts for years. Again, I am not interested in any solution other than what I'm asking about. If it can't be done, I will continue to use Word, although I've paid for Pages and really feel suckered by this.

Sep 24, 2009Had some library troubles with iTunes 9, and decided to do a clean install of not only the program, but of Snow Leopard itself. I was waiting on an iTunes update to come out before I decided to re-load my library in, since I didn't want to risk repeat problems (I've always been one of those bleeding edge-ers, and this is the 1st time I've ever had a problem/held back...guess I learned my lesson). 9.0.1 is out and seems to address the problems I'd been having, but I caught the "start fresh" bug and I want to start over with iTunes. No playlists, play counts, etc need to be saved.
I do have a full backup of my previous system and I'm wondering what the best way to get all of my music back into iTunes is.
- Do I use the Finder to simply drag the contents of my old "iTunes Music" folder into the new "iTunes Media" folder?
- Do I drag the whole folder and drop it onto the iTunes window? (I'm worried this method won't put iPhone apps, ringtones, audiobooks and podcasts in the right place).
- Do I use the import function?
Prior to making the backup, I did upgrade to/select iTunes Media Organization
Mac Pro :: Applications Are Starting Slow / Testing Hard Drive Speed?
Aug 17, 2009recently I bought WD6400AAKS hard drive. I made to partitions (1st for OS and applications, 2nd one for photo files). I also did fresh OS install and loaded basic applications. Strangely I didn't notice any speed boost while booting and to be honest I feel like all applications (photoshop for example) are also starting much slower than on original hdd.
Is there any way to test hard drive if it performs as it should be? I also have 2 more older drives installed. is it possible that one of them would slow the system down?
