Are there any apps for the macbook pro that will teach a 4 year old how to use a mac?

I want to gove my old macbook to my daughter and get her started. does anyone know if there is an app that will walk a child through thir first mac experience and teach them how to operate it?

This doesn't really answer your question, but children find tablets much easier to use than traditional computers. Even children much younger than your daughter are surprisingly adept with them, and they usually don't need to be taught.

  • Are there any skins for the macbook endorsed by Apple?

    I really want something that in case it damages my macbook apple will cover it. Plus, I heard how easy the white one scratches and that worries me.

    Marware http://www.marware.com/ products seem good, and lots of people are happy with them. They'll leave no residue, and I can't begin to think how they could damage the macbook. They won't, however, prevent all possible damage. Besides, the apple warranty doesn't cover cosmetic issues, or normal wear and tear. Hence, their endorsement or lack thereof of any cosmetic add-ons is irrelevant.
    Unless you plan to leave it in the box, you're bound to inflict some minimal amount of wear and tear on the thing, no matter how careful you are. Hey, I agree: it's a pretty machine, but I figure it's meant to be used...
    Cheers,

  • Are there any apps for having seperate volume controls for each app if multiple apps are playing at the same time?

    Are there any apps for having seperate volume controls for each app if multiple apps are playing at the same time?

    I don't think you can do that the volume is universal, but maybe turn down the volumes in the app settings?

  • Hi... I am looking for an inexpensive app for my macbook pro that I can put pictures and videos together into a slideshow with captions and music WITHOUT a watermark and that also will burn the slideshow to a DVD in its own app. Help?

    The issue with the A1400 is that like most economy compact cameras, they will not have very fast focus times in indoor lighting situations. Many people have gone to entry level DSLR's (Canon T3i) or micro 4/3 cameras. They are fairly expensive, but a late model refurbished T3i can sometimes be found with a kit lens for about $300.00. With Auto and scene modes, as well as full manual modes, these are very versatile cameras that focus very quickly, even in lower lighting situations. Canon is not really into the micro 4/3 cameras, instead they are focusing on the new G7x and G1x cameras, which are way out of your price range. The A720 is still available used at some places such as KEH camera, but you'll need to check often as their stock changes constantly. Obviously the DSLR's don't use AA batteries, but the T3i is good for about 600 photos (or more) per charge.
    My refurbished DSLR was practically brand new condition when I got it. I could not find any sign of wear at all, so I feel they are a real bargain. These are rugged cameras that are made to last. The A1400 is a $99.00 camera, so it's not intended for heavy usage, plus the image quality of a DSLR (even entry level) is far better than the A1400. That would be my recommendation.

  • I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7.  Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010?

    I have Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4, Quickbooks Pro 2010, Parallels Desktop 7 for Mac, Operating in Windows 7.  Quicbooks Pro 2010 is not responding or opening currently. Quickbooks does not support Parallels anymore.  I hear Apple Bootcamp is an opton.  Are there any recommendations for running Quickbooks Pro 2010 on Mac?

    QuickBooks Pro 2010 for Mac is not supported in Lion. QB Pro 2011 will work, but I just got an email today that 2011 will not be updated to work in Mountain Lion. QB Pro 2012 will be updated for ML.
    Be aware that the Mac version of QuickBooks is shamefully lacking in features compared to the Windows version. I do use the Mac version, but it has more features than I need for a small business, so it doesn't affect me. No one knows why Intuit seems to hate Mac users, but they show it every day.
    If QB Pro 2012 for Mac can be downloaded as a demo, I would strongly suggest testing with it before making a final decision. You will be able to import the Windows data, but possibly not all of it, depending on the Windows version features you use.
    Boot Camp allows you to install Windows on its own, bootable partition. When you boot to it, you are of course running Windows in every sense of the word. Just on Mac hardware rather than typical PC gear. Your Windows version of QB will work there without issue. The problem is having to boot back and forth between Windows and OS X, depending on what software it is you need to use at the time.

    Hello,
    There aren't any that I know off. I would drop UMT a line and see if they are planning to release something similar for Project Online in the near future...

  • Is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

    is there a good texting app for a Macbook air that will sync with my iPhone and iPad iMessage and SMS?

    Hey bishopcheen,
    Great question! Apple has announced that these features are coming in iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite. For more information, check out the “Messages” section of this page:
    Apple - OS X Yosemite - Apps
    http://www.apple.com/osx/preview/apps/
    Messages gives you so many ways to start a conversation. When your iPhone is nearby, you can send a text message from your Mac to groups of friends, even if they use SMS. Or send a photo of your epic karaoke birthday party, then follow it up with a Soundbite audio clip of your encore performance. With Messages, it’s not just what you say, it’s however you want to say it.
    Now every message on your iPhone appears on your Mac.
    Messages on your Mac has always been a great way to stay in touch. But friends without iMessage couldn’t be part of the conversation. Well, now they can be. All the SMS and MMS messages you receive on your iPhone now appear on your Mac. So you can text any friend without picking up your iPhone. And the conversation stays up to date across all your devices.
    iOS 8 and OS X Yosemite are coming this fall. I hope you are as excited as I am!
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • What is the best USB powered portable 1TB hard drive for a macbook pro that allows Time machine to work, windows (thru Parallels software) and mac storage and is available in Australia?

    What is the best USB powered portable 1TB hard drive for a macbook pro that allows Time machine to work, windows (thru Parallels software) and mac storage and is available in Australia?

    I agree with teh OWC sggestion above, but why must it be USB powered? I find that far more unreliable, and the low power devices slow.
    I'd frankly get a good external enclosure and buy a bare drive.  But the OWC stuff is quite good - vastly better than some of the majors (WD being aprime example of stuff that's boderline quality and often not compatible)

  • Are there any specific codecs or import libraries that will make Premiere 6 use more file types?

    Are there any specific codecs or import libraries that will allow Premiere 6 to import more file types?  I'm using Premiere 6 on Windows 7.
    It seems that the only kind of file that can be imported in to this version of Premiere are certain types of AVI files... even some types of AVIs will import but then will not appear when placed in the timeline... no MPGs, MP4s, WMVs, or anything else will import at all.
    Virtually every file that I need to bring in to Premiere 6 has to be converted to AVI with the H.264 codec first.
    Any help would be helpful.

    Hi Bill and John,
    Thanks for your replies.
    My inquiry isn't as much to do with the AVIs that won't import as it is to do with figuring out the way that I can make MPGs, MP4s, MOVs and WMVs import in to Premiere 6.
    The AVIs that do import were converted or created using the H.264 codec.  I do know a little about codecs, but I don't hold the PhD in codecs that is apparently required to completely understand them.
    Below is the chart from the Premiere Elements 4 page at this link... http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402540.html
    So, if I understand correctly, Bill is saying the Premeire Elements 4 is actually newer than Premiere 6 and that the Pr Elements apps will actually import more movie file formats than the regular versions of Premiere and Premiere Pro?... for someone trying to learn about these apps, one must admit that this seems to be reverse logic... this would be saying that Adobe gave the cheaper "consumer" versions of Premiere the ability to work with 3 or 4 more movie file formats than the more expensive "pro-sumer" version of Premiere.
    Premiere 4 Elements File Format Support Chart
    Microsoft AVI (.avi)
    Import and Export
    MOD (JVC Everio camera) (.mod)
    Import only
    MPEG-1 (.mpg, .mpeg, .m1v, .mpv)
    Import and Export
    MPEG-2 (.mpg, .mpeg, .mpe, .m2t, .m2v, .mod, .mpd, .m2p)
    Import only
    MPEG-4 (.mp4, .m4v)
    Export only
    Export via QuickTime file or "Share to Mobile" workflow.
    QuickTime Movie (.mov, .moov)
    Import and Export
    Windows Media video (.wmv)
    Import and Export
    The built-in web browser instruction manual in Premiere 6 shows this statement on the "Importing Clips" page, as shown in my screenshot linked above...
    "File format support is provided by plug-in software  modules. Over time, additional or updated file formats may be available  from Adobe or other manufacturers, such as QuickTime."
    This indicates that additional file format support can be added to Premiere 6 by "plug-in software modules", and that "over time, additional or updated file formats" were predicted to become available that would be supported by the file format manufacturers, such as Adobe themselves and other manufacturers such as QuickTime.
    Since that was written ten years ago or more, there has certainly been the chance for these additional "plug-in software modules" to be developed "over time"... so I'm asking, "Where are they available?"
    What I'm saying is, I will do my homework to earn at least my Bachelor's degree in codecs, but more than an education in codecs, I need to find these mysterious, "plug-in software modules" for Premiere 6 that Adobe wrote about and referred to over ten years ago.
    Thanks for any clues as to where to locate these "plug-in software modules".

  • Does OSX Lion work well with a Macbook Pro that's more than a year old?

    Does OSX Lion work well with a Macbook Pro that's more than a year old?

    Realize that people that aren't having problems tend not to "brag" that they're doing fine.  Those that are having problems are usually very vocal.  So a lot of the "bad reviews" may just be those that had a problem, not necessarily the real experience of the millions of people that are doing just fine.
    ...and I'm afraid to download it and my computer is 2009, yours runs smoothly?
    I'm running Lion fine on my 2008 MBP (4,1. 2.4GHz C2D, 4GB) and late 2009 Mini (2.0GHz C2D, 8GB.)  Minimum RAM for Lion is 2GB, but IMHO you really want 4GB.  If you have a lot of apps open (or have demanding apps like Photoshop,) then get more RAM if you machine can handle it.
    Also, make sure the rest of your apps or drivers are up to date before upgrading.  Incompatible drivers for things like printers and such are what I've found to cause a lot of stability problems.

  • Are there any apps to support Bluetooth earpieces that do not support music

    Basically I have a Rock candy Bluetooth earpiece for PS3, but I paired it with my white iPad 2 16GB it only works with calls but I want to listen to music or other media such as podcasts or videos. Are there any apps to help me listen to media or any tricks or options? Thanks

    If the device does not support the correct Bluetooth profile, there is nothing that you can do to change that.

  • Are there any apps for managing photos other than iphoto

    I do not find iphoto to be a particularly intuitive or user friendly app to manage photos with.  Are there any other options?

    What is your complaint about iPhoto? What are you having problems with?  Have you perused the tutorials on iPhoto:
    Apple - iPhoto for Mac
    Mac Apps - iPhoto - Apple Support
    What features do you want in a photo management applications.  There are many, many image management apps for Mac available:
    Lightroom
    Aperture
    IMatch 5
    Stock Keeper
    Photo Explorer
    Shoebox Express
    Shoebox Pro
    Picasa
    JetPhoto Studio
    myPhotos
    photo 1.5.1
    Photo Supreme
    MediaDex
    EzyPic Photo Organizer
    Daminion
    Photonator
    iMatch
    uAlbum
    All have different features so you'll need to determine what's important to you and do some research.  I don't think any are as easy to use as iPhoto, particularly with a Mac.

  • Are There Any Themes for the Blackberry Tour Approved by RIM, or Not?

    I've already had one BB Tour bricked, and I had downloaded all apps through BB App World.  However, there appear to be ZERO themes on BB App World.  So themes are the one thing I downloaded OTA on various websites, including Crackberry.  Seeing that my VZW Tour came pre-loaded with 2 themes, I thought downloading themes was harmless.  Is it possible the themes I had downloaded could have crashed my phone?  Are there any websites with themes that are approved by RIM?

    All Themes at this point are not from RIM.
    With the release of the New Developer Software during the Last Conference soon RIM will have themes Approved and available for Download through App world. No ETA at this point though.
