I have apparently forgotten the passwords or I entered them incorrectly when I set them up- and now they won't work-

I can not open these documents and I'm desperate.

Surely this problem happens with some degree of frequency.
Word does not make it clear enough to the user that when you put the password protection on the document there is absolutely no way to get into it again if you lose your password.

Please tell me there is something, ANYTHING I can do to resolve this problem.

Like can Word see that I am the User and Author of the document who set the password so that maybe I can get into the document some other way???

Please help - there is tons of "supposed" password recovery software out there but I'm overwhelmed by it all and have my doubts whether they would really even work. They all seem to be for Windows anyway.

thanks!?!? ]]> jamiewo http://macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=311946 http://macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=311945&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:17:57 GMT Greetings to all, If there are two of us, each owning his own iPhone, and we want to synchronize them phones to the same iMac, but not have contacts intermingled, plus we may want to synchronize different music artists, is the only way to do this... Greetings to all,

If there are two of us, each owning his own iPhone, and we want to synchronize them phones to the same iMac, but not have contacts intermingled, plus we may want to synchronize different music artists, is the only way to do this by setting up two different accounts on the iMac, or will the iMac recognize each iPhone as separate and synchronize contacts accordingly?

Thanks,

My FINDER is behaving erratically - in that, when I create new folders (which I can do with the mouse and right button) it will not allow me to name the file, as if the computer would not recognise the keyboard. What is weird, is that I then click on a web browser, or any other application and I can type as usual.

I assume it is then a problem with FINDER (?) - which after forcing to relaunch, works fine for a little while, but shortly, the problem comes up again

Having to relaunch finder every 5mins is not my idea of a smoothe operating system.

Since I first posted this question, I have managed to liberate more space- I now have 10GB free space - but problem persists.

Any advice? ]]> WhiteWiz http://macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=311877 http://macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=311872&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:29:00 GMT Hi.

We have an IMac and MacBook Pro. My wife and I have our two user accounts on both and we are both configured as admin. But we are unable to copy stuff from our personal documents, etc. folder to one another. It seems in spite of the fact that we do have admin rights, we could not copy stuff from our own user folders to the other.

How do we correct this?

it didnt turn out to be a big deal until now (im trying to install gimp)

i searched the apple website for hours, installing x11 files that i found, only to find that none of them worked. they said that i already had x11 installed, when i really went in and deleted every x11 file off of my computer before downloading it. I even uninstalled the receipt.
Heres a screencap proving that no x11 files on are my computer



i became so desperate that i called up applecare and ordered the install cd. I just tried downloading x11 from the cd, only to find that i can't even checkmark it.



this is completely frustrating and I don't know what else I can possibly do. Please help? :c ]]> lingling http://macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=311857 http://macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=311856&goto=newpost Sat, 21 Nov 2009 00:14:12 GMT Hello
