Does google docs work flawlessly on a macbook air? I would have about 5 tabs of it open in safari, be listening to music on iTunes, and probably have one or two microsoft office apps open. Would it run well, on both the 1.6 HHD and the 1.8 SSD? For my class we use a lot of google docs, and I heard that the Macbook air has some flash problems, so I need to know before I buy one.
View 10 RepliesWhen Google Docs first came out I was very excited. The reason it suits me so well, is for my family finances. For budgeting, I've created a fairly advanced cash flow sheet on Google Spreadsheet. It gives me a quick glance at my month-to-month finances, and also, because it is Google Docs, I can make changes from anywhere with an internet connection and a web browser! Beyond that, my wife and I can view the document at the same time, and discuss changes in real-time.
But why is Google Docs so slow on my mac? At work, on my PC, Google Docs is quite fast, and an enjoy to use. At home, on my 5 year old iMac (using Firefox since Safari is not supported). I know my connection at home is faster, so that is not the issue, and up until a few days ago I assumed it was because my mac was so old. However, this weekend I went home and looked up my finances on my brother's brand new 24" 2.4Ghz iMac, and the same symptoms held true. Is the site not optimized for Macs?
In a Google text doc, there is a problem with line spacing such that all the lines in the doc are stacked up on the first line making it unreadable and unusable. I've had this problem with the last few releases of Safari but the problem has just become worse.
If I click anywhere in the body of the doc I get: Google Docs error
This error has been reported to Google and we'll look into it as soon as possible.
Please try one of these interim solutions:Reload this page.Download the document by right-clicking on it in the main document list and selecting "Export." I'm running Safari in 64-bit so that's not the problem and switching back to 32-bit doesn't fix it.
I can view the original format of the doc with proper line spacing by selecing File > See original, but can't edit the doc at all.

I love using Google Docs and would love to have all my school documents online rather than just on my computer in case one day i run out the door and forget to print out an assignment due that day. What options do I have to upload my documents quickly as opposed to uploading them 1 by 1?

I've read a lot of the migration threads out there, but couldn't find any definite answer as to whether use Migration Assistant or just reinstall all apps and manually move all documents. My main concern is this: Will Migration Assistant work flawlessly for migrating everything at first boot? Is there an advantage to clean install everything on a Mac like there is on a PC?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a white MacBook 2.2 running 10.5.6. I use Google Maps all the time and in the last two days it has stopped working. The initial page loads but then when I search for something at the top it says "Loading" then changes to "Still loading... Slow? Try Basic HTML." I know I could use another map site but I use a webpage that calculates the fastest roundtrip for multiple locations and it uses Google Maps and this is causing that site not to work. It is happening in both Safari and Firefox. I have the newest version of each. Javascript is enabled. I have done every update possible. I have changed my DNS back and forth between the ones from my ISP and some from OpenDNS. There is another macbook on our network identical to mine that is working fine as is a MacBook Pro. I have not been able to get anything done today at work because of this.

The iTunes application froze. He called me and after seeing it crashed, I right clicked on the iTunes dock icon and force quit the application. I restarted the iMac and after it rebooted I clicked the iTunes icon and iTunes opened without our music libraries, just as it was when I ran iTunes the first time when the iMac was brand new. The top banner says, "iTunes1".

I used to have an older macbook where i could hit the f11 key and that would automatically move all the windows to the side and would let me click on a doc on my desktop. now i have a macbook 3.1, intel core 2 duo, 2.2 GHZ, l2 cache 4 mb and it no longer has that feature. the f11 key is reserved for the volume and i really need the volume. i think that feature is located here on the f11 key in this photo,

but when i click on f11 nothing happens. even if that feature were available it would not be an ideal solution because i really need the volume keys. i've tried reassinging the volume keys to other keys but i can't figure out how to do it.

Previously the solution was to install Safari plugins Inquisitor or Glims but Apple have removed the interfaces from Safari 4 that these plugins used - and there is still no built in Safari Preference to set the locale of the Google search. Effectively this renders the Safari Google Search field pretty well useless - at least for UK users. If you're searching for UK-based businesses or individuals, for example, the thousands of USA results that come up first are just not relevant - (that's an example of British Understatement. by the way

The temptation to buy a Mac Pro is, for me, almost irresistible. Now currently I have a MBP which I carry to and from the office each day (can't bare to work on the PCs in the office) and it has about 3Gb of docs, both personal and work related.
I'll want to have those docs on both the MP & MBP and I'll want them in sync. What's the best way to keep those docs in sync? I'd also be curious to hear how people deal with keep their iTunes library in sync across two machines.
I've had a pen tablet for some time but never really used it and now I need to sign some docs here and there. How do I do so with Word or is there another way?
