A good photo application for my mac

When I had a PC, I used Picasa and Microsoft Photo Editor. Now I have no photo application to use for my mac. I don't really like the way iPhoto is organized, so I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for good photo apps, besides iPhoto.

First time using Apple Discussions, so hope this goes through.
I read your response re photo-editing software with your recommendation for Adobe Photoshop Elements 4. I had every intention of getting that until I read somewhere that it did not work well with the Intel Core 2 Duo Processor. Is that true?
Since I just bought my MBP last week I was devastated - thought I'd made a huge mistake, since I really do like to play with my photos and iPhoto is definitely not strong enough. I just moved over from a Windows XP laptop and was running 4 different editing programs - a real pain. I especially wanted the ability to move items from one pic to another.
Any thoughts greatly appreciated

    What is a good design application for drawing logos on my MacBook Air?  I'm looking for something that isn't too expensive and is fairly easy to use.  I would prefer vector technology.

    You can try Logoist.

    How can i download applications for my mac for free

    At the App Store you can download any file that is available for free. Then there are other sites such as MacUpdate.com where you can also find free files to download.

    No it does not. The 2 are separate.
    To get Pages on your Mac mini purchase it from the Mac App Store. The icon is on your Dock.

    Xcode is required to submit your app to the App Store. So at some point (even if it is just to submit) you will need to use it.

  • Can anyone recommend a good instruction book for intermediate Mac users?

    I have been using Mac for 3 years now so am not a total beginner, but still need help in many areas of OS X use. These forums are brilliant and thanks to the willing help from more expert members I have learnt a lot ( thank you), however there are times when just having a book open in front of you is the easiest way to get to grips with something. Can anyone recommend a good user manual for people like me who don't need a real beginners guide but also don't want a mind numbing, in depth, advanced text. I already have Maria Langers Visual Quickstart Guide which is useful but is exactly what it says, a quick start, and David Pogues Missing Manual which I find a little frustrating as he seems to fall short of explaining exactly how to do something after he says it can be done!
    I guess what I am really after is a clearly written book that is good for beginners and more advanced users alike, with screen shots to show you what you should be doing.
    Grateful for any suggestions.
    macbook white 2ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   512mb ram and 60gig hard drive,

    Hi again,
    Many thanks for the feedback and the star!
    For troubleshooting, Dr Smoke's Troubleshooting Mac OS X eBook is invaluable. Again, I have the Panther edition. I haven't, yet, felt the need for the Tiger edition with so many of the tips available free via his FAQs.
    The only drawback, of course, is that when one is in a fix and possibly unable to boot up, the e-book isn't accessible unless one has a copy on another Mac.
    Have fun,

  • What is the best application for clarifying Mac OS 10.5.8

    My application is used primarily for Quicken 2007 for all my expenses, I also save ALL my email. I occasionally use Safari for intellectual use.
    Quite occasionally the system will NOT stop when I select the Apple/Shut Down... Everything is gone
    except the overall picture photo and the cursor arrow head. I have to delete the power to shut it down completely. On occasions, I use Disk Utility 11,.1 utilizing Repair Disk Permissions on the overall system to recover my Apple/Shut Down... for the whole system.

    There must be some app that is not closing. If it happens again, try using the following keyboard command to force quit the app. Option-Shift-Command-Esc (hold for three seconds) - Mac OS X v10.5, v10.6 or later only
     Cheers, Tom

  • HT204053 Mistakenly I changed my Apple ID when I left Italy for UK. when I want to update application for my mac and iPad, they ask me for the old ID password which I have forgotten At the same time I have forgotten the answers to the security questions e

    After having created an apple ID with Italian itunes I moved to UK and I mistakenly created a new Apple ID. However, when I want to update the application on my Ipad and mac computer I am asked fo the old password which I have fogotten. I have also forgotten the answers to the security questions. I made a mistake also with the email i gave and so i cant verify a new password that i want to create. How can you help me?

    Normally you need to call Apple Care for the country where the ID is located. You have changed countries and complicated it by making a new ID. I don't know what to suggest beyond calling Apple Care for Italy and asking them to help you recover the old ID.

  • What is a good defragmenting software for the mac, and what is the price ranges if there are mutiple ones?

    I have had my mac for about a 1 year 5 months, coming onto 6 months. And I want to keep it running in top shape, or as close as it can get. I Am just wondering what is are good softwares for defragmenting a Macbook and what are the price ranges, and what are the recommendations. Which would you rate from best to worst in other words.

    First Mac OS X doesn't need defragged. If your harddrive is ~80% full heavy downloading could hurt disk performance but I'd say you're in the clear. If Apple considered defragging a necessity they would have included it into Disk Utility.

  • What a good email program for the Mac?

    I can't use Mac mail anymore because Comcast (or somebody) has blocked some ports and Comcast can't tell me what the problem is. The problem seems to be with ingoing and outgoing ports but Comcast no longer shows an ougoing port in preferences so I can't change it. I've been using Comcast's email and it's not an option. It's too ugly and unstable.
    So my question is....can some of you give me your opinions as to a good free user-friendly email client and tell me why you like it? Email is something I use real often and would like a nice program to work with.

    Strangely, Comcast acted as if the Outgoing ports don't exist any more. I kept asking what the number of the port was and the Comcast person kept sidetracking me. It doesn't appear in preferences. I don't think they know anything about other email clients and can't answer our questions. I don't know why email has to be such a problem. I liked Mac mail well enough but just can't get it to work any more.
    I don't know how to answer your questions and apologize for that but I do appreciate your trying to help me.

  • Seeking: Compatible text editing application for iPad/Mac/Windowsystem

    Hi,
    I am trying to locate a useful text editing app.
    That is compatible to be used across iPad/Mac and sometimes on a Windows based Laptop.
    I have been using both openoffice, and Textedit(Mac). Which I am using through USD Disk but Openoffice documents dont work on iPad, and as to Textedit documents dont appear on iPad as on my Mac!
    Anyone, using a Textediting app on their Mac, that makes the document appear exactly the same as on their Ipad?
    At this stage I would prefer an app that is for free, to play around with...

    I have been trying several of the documents text editing applications! But most are not compatible across i.e. iPad, Mac, Windows-systems.
    As I indicated I have converted an "openoffice" edited text into Mac's "Textedit" application everything looked simple and great on my Mac. But, on my iPad the documents didnt look identical. Also, wasnt fitting the iPad screen either, and most lines jumped few lines up or down, pictures were dislocated...
    In case you know an text edit application, that is able to make documents look exactly the same as they look across iPad / Mac / Windows. In that case I would very much appreciate if you could name me that application!

  • Exporting an application for a Mac

    Does anybody know how to export a Director application to
    work with a Mac? I have exported using the 'Mac Projector' but it
    won't actually play on Macs. Am I missing something here?
    Cheers, Rich

    You publish it for Mac in the Publish Settings. When you have
    published
    it, it will place a file with the .hqx extension in the
    moviePath. DO
    NOT UNARCHIVE THE FILE ON A PC. You need to unarchive it on a
    Mac, then
    it will work (assuming there aren't scripting problems that
    prevent it
    from working).
    It would help of course if you were to define exactly what
    errors you
    are getting, and what exactly is not working.

  • Good wireless cards for older Mac Pros

    I have a Mac Pro Dual-Core Intel Xeon 2.66 GHz at work that we are trying to get online wirelessly. A couple of months ago, we bought a Hawking Hi-Gain Wireless-N USB Adaptor, which was working fine until a recent update was performed. Since then, the computer crashes almost immediately if the wireless adaptor is plugged in, but runs fine when it is taken out. I am curious if anyone else has run into a similar problem when using a wireless adaptor. I also wanted to know if anyone had a recommendation for a different, reliable wireless card for an older Mac Pro.
    Thanks in advance.

    I have almost the exact same situation.
    Same system, a d-link wua 1340 usb wireless adaptor.
    Worked fine for several weeks or so until i updated to snow leopard.
    Now frequent system crashes, grey screen and the box that tells me to use the power button to shut down.
    I tried going back to 10.5 and still the same problem.

  • Photo Application for adding info

    All:
    I travel all over and want to use the iPad to load my photos from my camera and store them on the iPad. One thing I like to do, is rename the file with the information about where I took it. I don't think there is an app to re-name the photograph, BUT is there an app where I can add a note to it and give a brief discription of where and when I took it and any other information about it I would like to add. I do this so I don't forget what it was that I took. 10 days later, my memory gets kind of fuzzy.
    Thank you

    PhotoNote might be worth a look:
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photonote-take-notes-photos/id292422531?mt=8
    They have a "PhotoNote Lite" for free as a test version.
    Photo Notes might also be worth considering, though it's a bit spendy:
    http://appshopper.com/photography/photo-notes-10
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-notes/id307646140?mt=8
    Neither has a version specifically for the iPad yet but both list compatibility.
