Hi Ray, I guess you have tried the solutions found here to open documents created un a previous version. Documents will not open in Word 2011 if they have been created in a previous version http://support.microsoft.com/kb/953266 1. Start Word for Mac application. 2. On the File menu, click Open. 3. In the Convert File window, scroll down and select Recover Text from any file. You may get a warning, click OK. Note: Some formatting might change. 4. On the File menu, click Save As. 5. In the Format list, select Word Document (.docx), then click Save.

Re: Warning: MS Word 14 fails with old Word documents
Or maybe do as I did. Delete the old Office package (PPT/XL/Word) And then install the 2011. Never missed a beat, never touched any doc at all.If I have any grumble its all that fruit at the top of the page that I rarely need. Still do not know how get rid of it!

Hi all When you get potentially dodgy emails with links in them it is revealing to click and drag the links a little way, which shows the real url. If it matches the link text all is probably well (though still use your judgement)- if it's a long, complicated affair ending in .ru you might want to avoid best alastair On 28/01/2011, at 10:51 AM, Ronda Brown wrote: Hi Kyle, Sounds similar to the phishing attack back in September 2010 Apple customers target of convincing Apple Store phishing site http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/security-bytes/apple-customers-target-of-convincing-apple-store-phishing-site/ Sent from Ronni's iPad On 28/01/2011, at 5:13 PM, Kyle Kreusch kylekreu...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, All (GMUG) and WAMUG I felt compelled to warn people that there is currently an Apple Store fishing attack regarding Cheap versions of Adobe products, All day I have been receiving several e-mails at several different e-mail accounts That look like they're from the Apple Store.

Since WN swapped from Sophos to Ironport I am getting up to 5 or more SPAMs daily and ALL of them are obvious SPAM (Nigerian pleas, the Paypal one, bank ones and Viagra etc). I complained to WN and was told that the system did not recognize them as spam, something I find a bit hard to accept. I find Ironport hard to use, there is no list that I can find to check what is being blocked and I have no started to miss real emails - without knowing it.I am getting stonewall un-informative responses from WN.

Re: WARNING ... Safari beta users
Hi all, Also, just a heads up for those of you currently using Safari 3 plugins like Sogudi and AcidSearch: If you upgrade to Safari 4 and do not first uninstall/remove these plugins you will most likely find that Safari 4 refuses to launch. Depending on where you installed (for one user or all), removing the following folders should get Safari 4 up and running again: ~/Library/Application Support/SIMBL ~/Library/InputManagers/SIMBL Sogudi is no longer supported, hence it will not work with Safari 4. The best alternative I have found is Keywurl, although at time of writing it appears to be awaiting an upgrade to coincide with this latest Safari 4 release.

Re: Warning - Quicktime 7.2 will not play web based QT movies
It's not all web based QT content but there are many reports of bugs regarding the latest versions of QT on Apple's support forums. http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=122 There may be some workarounds suggested in these forums that may help you depending on your exact problem. And if your problem is related to Flash animations http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1042462tstart=0 Looks like Apple have rushed the last couple of versions out the door. My reason for looking and posting in the forums is I've discovered there are also huge bugs in QT for Windows 7.2 (and slightly less so 7.1.6) esp regarding HREF tracks which I use a lot for work.

Thanks, David Moyle It seems that since that phone was announced, everything else Apple does seems to have suffered. Didn't Steve make some statement about concentrating on core products when he returned to Apple in '97? Maybe there is a bit of Leopard code hiding in these new releases that is causing dramas.

In another section detailing Dead On Arrival situations, it states that Apple must be contacted within 10 days of the invoice date.

As a result, Apple is perhaps the only UNIX vendor whose technical manuals contain illustrations about how to establish a rack-mount server farm using your handheld stereo ;-)

The short of it is: 'CD' should /not/ work, while 'CP' /should/. Reasons as follows: For CP, the behaviour will be highly sensitive to how your shell performs in a situation that its author had not anticipated: namely, that of a case-insensitive filesystem. 'CP' /should/, by rights, work under Mac OS X machines with HFS+ filesystems because 'CP' is a valid match for any files that is named 'cp'. /However/, most shells use a 'hashing' mechanism to avoid trawling through the entire contents of $PATH every time you issue a command. In these circumstances, the behaviour can vary. But, 'CP' /should/ really work. For CD, the situation is entirely different. 'cd' is not the name of a programme on your disk, it is the name of your shell's 'built-in' command. Since built-in commands are not stored on the filesystem, they are not case-insensitive like HFS+ is (unless the shell author has anticipate the need -- unlikely for UNIX shells). Therefore, 'CD' will probably fail.
