Microsoft’s Connect(); 2016 developer event in New York City today had some big partnership announcements, including,,. But there was also a slew of updates for both Visual Studio and SQL Server: a preview of Visual Studio for Mac, a preview of the next version of SQL Server, and a preview of Azure App Service support for containers. “We want to help developers achieve more and capitalize on the industry’s shift toward cloud-first and mobile-first experiences using the tools and platforms of their choice,” Microsoft Cloud and enterprise executive vice president Scott Guthrie said in a statement. “By collaborating with the community to provide open, flexible, and intelligent tools and cloud services, we’re helping every developer deliver unprecedented levels of innovation.” Visual Studio The fact that Microsoft is bringing its to macOS would have arguably been the biggest news of the day, had the company not leaked the information itself earlier this week. Still, a preview of Visual Studio for Mac is now available (, requires OS X El Capitan 10.11 or higher), letting developers write cloud, mobile, and macOS apps on Apple’s desktop operating system using.NET and C#. It’s a big deal, given that Microsoft once made a point of locking in developers by only offering its tools on Windows. This has changed over time, with a big highlight in April 2015 when, its cross-platform code editor, for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Now Microsoft is taking the next step: making Visual Studio cross-platform. Inheriting from the mobile-centric Xamarin Studio and from Visual Studio for Windows, the IDE is supposed to encourage Mac and iOS developers to use Microsoft’s development tools, since they will no longer need a Windows computer or virtual machine to do so. It will hit general availability next year, and Microsoft will eventually sunset Xamarin Studio. Here’s how Xamarin project manager Mikayla Hutchinson described the tool in the leak on Monday: At its heart, Visual Studio for Mac is a macOS counterpart of the Windows version of Visual Studio. If you enjoy the Visual Studio development experience, but need or want to use macOS, you should feel right at home. Its UX is inspired by Visual Studio, yet designed to look and feel like a native citizen of macOS. Now we have two Visual Studio versions (Visual Studio for Mac, Visual Studio Code) that can directly install on the Mac (macOS), refer to your description, it looks like you installed the Visual Studio for Mac, it is a developer environment optimized for building mobile and cloud apps with Xamarin and.NET. And like Visual Studio for Windows, it’s complemented by Visual Studio Code for times when you don’t need a full IDE, but want a lightweight yet rich standalone source editor. Below the surface, Visual Studio for Mac also has a lot in common with its siblings in the Visual Studio family. Its IntelliSense and refactoring use the Roslyn Compiler Platform; its project system and build engine use MSBuild; and its source editor supports TextMate bundles. ![]() It uses the same debugger engines for Xamarin and.NET Core apps, and the same designers for Xamarin.iOS and Xamarin.Android. Compatibility is a key focus of Visual Studio for Mac. Although it’s a new product and doesn’t support all of the Visual Studio project types, for those it does have in common it uses the same MSBuild solution and project format. If you have team members on macOS and Windows, or switch between the two OSes yourself, you can seamlessly share your projects across platforms. There’s no need for any conversion or migration. Visual Studio for Mac supports native iOS, Android, and Mac development via Xamarin, and server development via.NET Core with Azure integration. The C# language, with the latest C# 7 productivity enhancements, is naturally supported, as is F#, powered by the same F# compiler used in Visual Studio. Meanwhile, in the Windows world, Visual Studio 2017 has now hit Release Candidate status (). Formerly referred to as Visual Studio “15” (or Visual Studio Next), this version is slated for general availability in early 2017. But that’s not all for the Visual Studio world. Nat Friedman, Xamarin cofounder and now Microsoft’s vice president of mobile developer tools, also shared some notable milestones with VentureBeat. Has passed 20 million installs, with 14 million coming from the free community edition. Passed 3.5 million installs and 1 million monthly active users, up from in April. Also worth noting is a preview of a new product called Visual Studio Mobile Center (). Think of it as mission control for mobile app developers; it works for all apps regardless of programming language. Here’s the rub: It supports Android and iOS today, while Windows is “coming soon after.” SQL Server Microsoft announced the public preview of the next release of SQL Server, which for the first time runs on,.

Enable Data Connections in Excel 2011 for mac I have a couple of macros that I originally set up in Excel 2007 for PC that pull data from a web query and use Application.OnTime in a Workbook_Open event to refresh and save at a certain time automatically every night (it uses task scheduler to automatically open Excel daily). Oct 13, 2017 I setup an Excel file (Office for Mac 2011) that successfully connects to an Oracle database. When I save the file, close it, and reopen it at a later time, the message I get says 'Data connections have been disabled'. ![]() The tutorial demonstrates different techniques to quickly merge two cells in Excel and combine multiple cells without losing data in Excel 2016, 2013, 2010 and lower. In your Excel worksheets, you may often need to merge two or more cells into one large cell. For example, you may want to combine several cells for a better data presentation or structure. In other cases, there may be too much content to be displayed in one cell, and you decide to merge it with adjacent blank cells. Whatever the reason, combining cells in Excel is not as straightforward as it may seem. If at least two cells you are trying to join contain data, the standard Excel Merge Cells feature will only keep the upper-left cell value and discard values in other cells. But is there a way to merge cells in Excel without losing data? Of course there is. And further on in this tutorial, you will find a few solutions that work in all versions of Excel 2016, Excel 2013, Excel 2010 and lower. • • • • • • Combine cells using Excel's Merge and Center feature The fastest and easiest way to combine two or more cells in Excel is to use the built-in Merge and Center option. The whole process takes only 2 quick steps: • Select the contiguous cells you want to combine. • On the Home tab > Alignment group, click the Merge & Center In this example, we have a list of fruits in cell A1 and we want to merge it with a couple of empty cells to the right (B2 and C2) to create a large cell that fits the entire list. Once you click Merge and Center, the selected cells will be combined into one cell and the text is centered like in the following screenshot: Other merging options in Excel To access a couple more merge options provided by Excel, click the little drop-down arrow next to the Merge & Center button and choose the option you want from the drop-down menu: Merge Across - combine the selected cells in each row individually: Merge Cells - join the selected cells into a single cell without centering the text. To change the text alignment after merging, simply select the merged cell and click the desired alignment in the Alignment group on the Home tab. Excel's merging features - limitations and specificities When using Excel's built-in features to combine cells, there are a few things to keep in mind: • Make sure that all the data you want to include in a merged cell is entered in the left-most cell of the selected range because only the content of the upper-left cell will survive after merging, data in all other cells will be deleted. If you are looking to combine two or more cells with data in them, check out. • If the Merge and Center button is greyed out, most likely the selected cells are in Edit mode. ScanSnap Manager for Mac Update (V6.3L60) Note for ScanSnap Organizer for Mac users: Be sure to update ScanSnap Organizer for Mac to a version compatible with macOS Sierra 10.12 in order to apply all the corrections fully. ScanSnap Manager for Mac (update) V3.2L60 (July 2, 2012) Then this: General info about the drivers and software: Fujitsu's corporate web site. After fighting several hours trying to install and reinstall ScanSnap manager files and updates I stumbled on your solution and YES ? it worked. Eternally gratefull, Max. New Airbook 10.8.2. The Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 is a bit over four years old, which means people are starting to wonder if they should still buy one. My answer is yes, although it’s likely Fujitsu will update the iX500 soon. Since the iX500 was released, Fujitsu added wireless scanning, then ScanSnap Cloud, and I have updated this review for 2017, including information about the various ways you can scan with those options. The bottom line: the ScanSnap iX500 has gotten better over time, and it remains an excellent value. If you need a document scanner, this is still the one you should get, and it remains at the top of our top picks for scanners. Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500 Price and Features The iX500 is about. ![]() There are less expensive desktop scanners that will get the job done, like the and, but the ScanSnap iX500 is substantially better than both, and it has a lot more to offer, feature-wise. The gets you closer to what this scanner offers, but also closer to its price, at about $380. The iX500 scans 25 double-side pages per minute. It will automatically detect and remove blank pages, although this is conservative and you will probably find plenty of blank pages in your scans. It is also good at detecting when two or more pages get pulled into the scanner at the same time. When this happens, the iX500 will stop to let you separate the pages before it continues. With the ScanSnap Connect app for iOS and Android, you can scan wirelessly to your smartphone or tablet. With ScanSnap Cloud, you can scan directly to almost a dozen cloud services, including Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, Google Drive, Evernote, and more. ScanSnap Cloud is by far the easiest way to use the iX500 for normal, day-to-day scanning. ![]() For longer documents or more complex scanning jobs, you will want to use ScanSnap Connect with your mobile device or ScanSnap Manager with your computer. Hardware and Design As far as scanners go, the iX500’s geometric black form looks pretty nice on a desk. It is unobtrusive without being unattractive. Not that style should be a major concern when scanner shopping. Inside the scanner is a processor that helps speed up image processing and handle processing when the iX500 is not plugged into a computer. It even handles optical character recognition, which means you’ll spend less time waiting for OCR to finish than you would with other scanners (or older ScanSnaps). Like most document scanners these days, the iX500 has an ultrasonic multi-feed detector. And to reduce the chances you will need it, there is a new Separation Roller setup for paper picking. The feeder is 9″ wide, so it can handle pages that are just a bit wider than standard US letter or A4 paper. On the opposite end of the spectrum, you can scan teeny-tiny receipts, although you might have to move them around to make sure the scanner can tell there is a piece of paper in the feeder. You can also scan thicker documents, like drivers licenses and passports. Credit cards and drivers licenses go through this scanner just fine. Passports are a tight fit, but you can get them through. If you need to scan anything bigger than that, though, you might need a. One thing the iX500 doesn’t have is an onboard user interface. There is no way to tell it to connect to a new Wi-Fi network. In order to do that, you have to plug it in or use a computer or mobile device to which it is already connected. This isn’t a huge problem. I can’t imagine many scenarios in which you would have your scanner but not your smartphone, but it’s worth keeping in mind before you take your iX500 to a document inspection. All cell reference formulas appear with the basic structure =A4, where A is the column and 4 is the row. By placing a dollar sign before A or 4 that column or row becomes fixed. Relative Formulas. When a formula appears =A4 the column and the row in the formula is relative. Adjusting the contents of the column or of the row can change the output of the formula. The cell references in this formula are relative references. What this means is that Excel evaluates the reference B9 as the cell two rows up, and two rows to the left. And Excel evaluates the address D6 as the cell 5 rows up. Using Absolute Cell References When you want a formula to consistently refer to a particular cell, even if you copy or move the formula elsewhere on the worksheet, you need to use an absolute cell reference. An absolute cell reference is a cell address that contains a dollar sign ($) in the row or column coordinate, or both. When you enter a cell reference in a formula, Excel assumes it is a relative reference unless you change it to an absolute reference. If you want part of a formula to remain a relative reference, remove the dollar sign that appears before the column letter or row number. Create an Absolute Reference • Click a cell where you want to enter a formula. • Type = (an equal sign) to begin the formula. • Select a cell, and then type an arithmetic operator (+, -, *, or /). • Select another cell, and then press the F4 key to make that cell reference absolute. • You can continue to press F4 to have Excel cycle through the different reference types. • If necessary, continue entering the formula. ![]() • Click the Enter button on the formula bar, or press Enter. ![]() Getting Started Formulas and functions differ in Excel by one key feature. Formulas are written by you, and functions pre-exist in the program. They have many similarities, as you will see in this page and the following pages covering formulas and functions. Here are some basic things to know about writing formulas in Excel. ALL formulas and functions must begin with an '='. Without an 'equals,' there will be no formula or function! Basic mathematical operators that you can use when writing a formula are: * for multiplication / for division + for addition - for subtraction The use of these operators follows the basic order of operations: *, /, +, - (muliplication, division, addition, subtraction). You can use ( ) parentheses if you would like operations completed in a different order (e.g. To add two numbers before multiplying them by another number: put the parentheses around the summation). Writing Formulas To get practice writing a formula, let's return to the dataset from the U.S. Census in 2010 and let's assume that the information for percent change between 2000 and 2010 was missing (or hadn't been provided). Column H is blank, but that is information we'd like to have. Fortunately, we can calculate it by writing a formula in Excel. You'll need to know how to calculate the percent change in order to write a formula for Excel to do it. In this particular case, we'll divide the amount of change between the two years (found in column G) and by the total population in 2000 (column E). And we'll do this for each individual Census Tract (each row). To write a formula, first click on the cell where you want the output to be. Then type '='. You'll see the '=' in both the cell in which you are typing and in the formula bar. We could type '-1689 / 12780 * 100' following the '=' sign and this would give us the correct result, however, I'm just going to tell you flat out that you don't want to do that. By writing the actual numbers into your function you are making Excel no better than a calculator, but there are a lot of ways that Excel can save you time and save you from making mistakes if you use it well. Instead of typing the actual numbers, you want to select the cells that contain the numbers. You can do this by clicking on the cell with the mouse OR by typing the. You'll see that the selected cells are color coded and that the colored cell number/letter references are referring to the cells that are outlined in the same color. This can make finding a cell used in a formula (or function!) easier when scanning a large dataset. Also, actual numbers remain black (like the *100). When you are done entering the function, press ENTER. Using Cell Referents It is important to use the cell referents instead of the actual numbers in case the numbers in the cells are changed. In this particular case, that shouldn't happen because this is Census data and it would be unnecessary (not to mention inappropriate and unethical) to change it. However, you could be managing a budget or designing an experiment and would like to test how different values will affect the total outcome. Then you will be very pleased to be able to change numbers in cells without having to rewrite your formulas! ![]() This should point you in the right direction. Basically, you do NOT want any user writing to the Program Files folder. UAC, security and other measures are there to try and prevent this as much as possible. Essentially, if you want a single file which will be written to by all users, you will want it in the ProgramData folder, accessible through the%ALLUSERSPROFILE%, rather than the individual users' temporary folder, which is definitely what you want to do with a log file. Remember that the temporary folder's content should be considered volatile, and could be deleted at any time, such as by the Disk Cleanup Wizard. Only trusted users should have Admin level accounts on a Mac. Administrator access allows the admin user abilities to change any and all system settings, install software, install updates, change passwords, create new accounts, delete existing user accounts, erase data, encrypt a drive, and much more. ![]() ![]() Aug 27, 2018 - However, that doesn't mean our Mac using brethren will have to invest in a Windows PC in order to play games. Quite a few popular games for. First-person shooters, survival-horror games, RPGs, adventure games, and real-time tactical strategy games; these are all genres that PC has used throughout its existence to solidify itself as one of gaming's most popular platforms. If you love to play on PC, this was a good year, as 2017 offered mastercraft executions of every genre mentioned above. Each yielded an ambitious spirit, pushing forward its respective genre with fresh ideas and mechanics, while also expanding upon what has come before. In no particular order, here are our picks for the best PC games of 2017. Total War: Warhammer II. By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's and enter [] is one of the most well-crafted strategy games in PC gaming history. With the second installment, developer The Creative Assembly has expanded the mechanics of the first, while still retaining its sandbox structure. At the same time, the game better utilizes its narrative, tapping into the decades of lore that the Warhammer franchise now consists of. This sequel adds a sense of dynamism and urgency to a series where many players feel safe slowly creeping across the campaign map, knowing that even if their front line falls, their home cities are stoic and safe. In addition, the scale and enormity of its combat is unparalleled, especially in the Mortal Empires campaign, which combines everything from the first game with everything you see in Total War: Warhammer II. Battles are not long, arduous, drawn-out affairs, nor do they end too quickly for you to appreciate the size and force of what you're seeing. The addition of the Vortex campaign and a wider variety of quests far exceed the experience of the original. The game also expands the formula with numerous spells and new marching monsters and units, and the resulting concoction is a strategy game that both Warhammer and Total War fans are guaranteed to love. Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice. By clicking 'enter', you agree to GameSpot's and enter [] leverages the strengths of video games as a medium and delivers an experience that is unlike anything else released this year. It's a bold game that explores mental health--specifically psychosis--through the lens of a character-action game wrapped in Norse mythology. The game tackles an important and often misunderstood illness, and allows you to better understand it through visual and aural presentation. Developer Ninja Theory has a long history of developing action games that are fast and fluid in movement while also being mechanically deep and complex, but for Hellblade, the developer scaled this back somewhat. Playing Hellblade can feel rough and sluggish, but this feeds into the mind-state of its main character, Senua. Returning from self-imposed exile, the young Pict warrior grapples with her inner-demons as she attempts to save the soul of her lover, Dillon. The act of fighting against demonic apparitions feels like a struggle, as Senua summons every ounce of energy in her body just to keep moving forward, one step at a time. And all the while voices in her head pull her in different directions, some guiding her, while others undermine and belittle her. ![]() Jun 15, 2015 - The regular My Passport Ultra is compatible with Mac OS after.

So, I'd like to get this very popular drive: But technically these are for Windows, and they make a Mac version here: I'd rather get the black version, and I read some of the reviews stating that you can just reformat the Windows version and it will work fine for Mac. While I'm sure I could get it to mount, would there be any possible performance issues by doing this? In other words, is there any reason to buy the Mac version, or are they identical, but just come formatted differently? Hey everybody!

If not, and you have a Firewire 800 port, then you'll get better performance with a Firewire drive rather than USB. E.g.however, Firewire is on the way out and you might not find one at the physical size and capacity you want, and will probably pay a bit of a premium. Plus, if you have an Air or a vanilla MacBook its USB or nothing. I've had one of these in the past.which was great because it fas FW800 [i[and[/i] USB3, but it was a bit overpriced and I don't think they do them bigger than 500GB. Thanks for all the advice. I'm only using this drive for extra storage/backups, so speed isn't really the focus, but I definitely want a USB 3.0 drive. I'm mostly concerned with reliability, and I'm really drawn to the My Passport series because of the WD Nomad case they make: I'm a very big fan of excessive protection when it comes to HDDs, so I'd plan on leaving in that case essentially all the time. The other option I'm considering is going with the 1TB LaCie Rugged Mini (3.0). I'm planning on getting the Rugged 3.0/Thunderbolt SSD as a speed drive, and it would be nice to 2 Rugged's, as I really like those drives.they essentially have cases built in. But that would mean I lose a whole terabyte of storage from the WD My Passport. Anyone have any experience with the WD My Passport vs. LaCie Rugged Mini? ![]() I'd assume the LaCie has a bit of an advantage in terms of performance. I got this one and it partitioned and formatted just fine for the Mac for use with Time Machine. The 'for Mac' designation looks to be a money grab as they anticipate many people won't know it's the same device just formatted differently. Interesting, if you use the Product Selector on and select Mac and PC in the compatibility list it returns NO RESULTS. The WDC site has no ability to directly compare the devices. Sadly, Newegg's comparison tool seems to choke on comparing the standard drive and the 'For Mac' drive. I think you'll find the devices identical with the exception of the formatting.
