Ok I'll try, but I actually rebooted it twice and still same thing. It's like the outlook is started but ? Hidden- cos I can't see anything happening on the screen.

Everyone told me Mac v easy to use, but I'm finding it tough...

Try this. It may be possible there is already another instance of outlook running for some reason.

1.Exit from the Outlook.
2.Right click on Status bar and select the "Task Manager."
3.You will get a pop up window called Windows Task Manager, select the Processes tab.
4. Under the Processes tab, select the "OUTLOOK.EXE" and click on End Process.
5. Repeat step 4 to end the Multiple Outlook process that are running.

I want to buy a Macbook (Air or Pro?) for office use, actually mainly MS Office only.

I've always been a Windows user, I really don't know how to go about asking this question. The thing I want to know is how the transition is like. What will I be missing out from Windows? What are the disadvantages of a Mac over Windows?

This insecure feeling has been keeping me away from a Mac, too comfortable with Windows, you know.

Mac has everything Windows has, except spyware and viruses.

Coming from a windows background, I find that mac os is not as flexible as windows.

Your best bet would be to have a feel and try perform some basic tasks you would usually do on windows, via someone's mac system or a vm.

You're right. I should try it out.

I'd want it mainly for office applications that were made for Windows. With a MB Pro, I could always use Bootcamp right?

Hi. Seeking help to see if it's normal.
I cannot seem to get UOB Internet banking and SingPass login page (CPF / HDB / NS)to work on either Safari or Firefox.

I search HWZ and did not seem to find any helpful info that works on my MBP 2011 with Snow Leopard.

Please advise. Much appreciated

Some qns on iWork
When i use Pages to edit my .doc files, they shows "Save a version" instead of save. Whats that and whats the difference?

If i want to edit the .doc file and save as .doc again, i have to choose "export"?

I think "Save a Version" is a new feature in Lion, whereby your Mac will save various versions of your document automatically without you having to manually save the file. Of course, if you want to manually save the file every once in awhile, you can do so. However, Lion is built in such a way that you don't have to be constantly saving your file from time to time. It's merely a change of words, but the function is essentially the same.

If you want to edit a .doc file, open it into Pages. If you want to save that file as a .doc file, EXPORT as a .doc file accordingly.
