I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?
It is now confirmed that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
◼ Password protection
◼ Blog and photo comments
◼ Blog search
◼ Hit counter
◼ MobileMe Gallery
All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken. If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows. Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
Click to view full size
However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone. How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.

Hello guys..does anybody know how to install and use adobe master collection with the new lion?
I need to use Flash and illustratore, but apparently those programmes are incompatible with the new operative sistem...
I am a new mac users and I'd like to know if there are other similar programmes I can use with lion!Lab79 wrote:
Are you on Apple's payroll?
well dude I can only let you know that as I work with those programme I don't have to pay for it is my company that pays the programme I whant to use( that's why I was asking if there where other programmes ..that I could use with lion insted that Illustrator and Flash!)..I know Adobe since 2005 and I can say that Adobs products are very good...I think that if it's an Adobe probleme or fault ..they will solve it very soon...but unfortunally I have the impression that after Jobs passed away Appel decided to change politics..and everything started to go very bad! (see FCP X)..
good luck with apple dude..
Where is the Apple problem? I have CS4 and CS5 running perfectly fine on my Macbook Pro. Installed 5 after Lion upgrade. Worth every cent. Adobe did have some catching up to do with Lion but with the CS5.5 update all runs fine. But not yours. So it is a problem with the Lion OS? You say you have been with Adobe since 2005. So you would be aware of all the other issues that Adobe had catching up with past Oss in Mac and Windows then. They get it right, but it is up to them. It is not up to Apple, nor Microsoft for that matter, to run around and check that every software developer in the world is running their business properly.
And what has politics got to do with anything. Some people just have to blame Software for their poor Hardware maintainence of failure of the same.
<The only think I can really do is to go back on my old windows...give back this orrible lap top and ask for my money back!>
Great suggestion. You should go with that one, but good luck getting a refund.

I am a new Mac user and I bought Pages and have no Idea where it is or how to use it?
I am a new Mac user and I bought the Pages APP and have no Idea where it is or how to use it? If I go into Iwork and click Pages it shows 3 documents that I have creates. THe only option I have is to download it. Then If I click it it opend in an app called Preview.
It is in me apps folder in Itunes. I expected it to be an app in my computer.Pages for IOS and Pages for OSX are 2 different programs, buying one doesn't get you the other, go to the App Store (not iTunes) on your Mac and buy it.

i am a new mac user and tried to update my firefox but now i have multiple foxes and a half fox fix something? how do i get it all together in one and be sure i have current version on only?
Hi there
I think in this case, you may be best to speak with Microsoft about this, as it does seem like an issue with Office, and not your Mac.
Follow this link, to find your local Microsoft Support contact number.
Or perhaps create a new topic in the Microsoft Support Communities
Good luck -

I'm a new MAC user and I'm trying to transfer my iTunes music files to my Mac, however when I attach the external drive that contains the music files, the music files aren't visible on the MAC (but they are visible on my old PC). How do I get my music transferred? I have already exported the purchased music from the iTunes library, but I have thousands of songs from my private CD collection that I had previously loaded through iTunes.

Hi, I'm a new Mac user and I want 10.8.2 but i can't get that unless I have i have 10.8.1 and I cant get that unless I have 10.8. Now I was wondering if anyone could provide me with a link that would allow me to download this version?
Again, that's not a problem - if you purchase Mountain Lion through the App Store, it's been updated to 10.8.2 - and when there are other updates available, you can just download and install them as well.
Just go to the App Store and purchase and install ML. Then run Software Update (Apple menu) to see if there are any updates available for your machine. I keep my System Preferences>Software Update prefs set to check automatically -
Some people would rather check manually. No big deal, just buy it and install it.

i have question about hooking up an external hdd to a time capsule and still have my printer hooked up as well. Anyone got any tips for me, how to do it and what brand of harddrive that will work best for me 1 or 2 TB
You just need a powered hub.. if you already use one then fine.
Plug in just about any external hard disk will work fine. Format has to be readable by the TC.. ie fat32.. or much better HFS+.. plug it into a Mac to prepare the drive.
Pick whatever size suits.. nowadays 2TB are most economical.
WD, Seagate have goobled up all the minor players.. so pick one.
Whatever suits your budget and asthetics.
NOTE.. The USB on the TC is fine for printers.. IMHO it is the wrong way to go with USB disks.. use the internal disk of the TC.. USB is less than half the native speed plugged into a Mac.. TC to USB is slow.. far slower than internal drive.. or using external drive as external. -
So yes like mentioned above...i am a new mac user...have only had it about four days and have had a windows based system always before this. The issue I am having is that I will be in safari and it will work perfect for a while and then i will open a new tab and attempt another website and it will either be extremely slow or will give the error that it cannot connect to the server, however, when i run diagnostics my internet is fine. The only solution i have found is to reboot and geeksquad has been unable to replicate the problem while connected to my computer to try to do so. Does anyone have any suggestions or anyone else with this problem? If you have a "fix" please try layman's terms because again I have no idea about macs haha. Thanks,

I am a new Mac user, and I love everything about it!!!
Hi to all fellow Mac users,
That's it, I've finally had enough of Bill Gates and his crappy software. I tell you all now, if I ever saw him on the street, I couldn't guarantee I would say anything nice to him, quite the opposite.
I met a friend from a drama club I go to, and after several playful arguments and games deciding what was better; Apple Mac or Microsoft Windows, I think the Apple Mac seemed to take over everything that Windows can do. Ok, an example, I do subtitled videos for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community... after several months of using Windows Movie Maker (apologies for the foul language) I decided to take my friend up on his offer. After 5 minutes of using Final Cut Pro... I was amazed. 5 simple words sum up my experience of subtitling on a Mac... easy, simple, FUN!, smooth, quick. It was fun to do, a challenge after suffering with another Bill Gates failed program, quicker and easier than I EVER thought it would be, and just to remind you all, that I have been a windows user for 9 years. I loved windows, I thought my Windows PC was my life, the music sounded great, I was happy with virus threats, and pop-ups from everywhere...
I told my kind hearted friend that I have always wanted a laptop, so I could listen to music on the train, whenever I go to visit my folks, I could watch DVD's, videos etc... and he very kindly gave me his old Dell Latitude laptop.. (200MHz, 256MB RAM) It looked like it needed a facelift, and a new battery (the battery charge only lasted 3 minutes on a good day), so it constantly needed to be plugged in. Installed on this laptop was a new piece of Operating System I had never used before. Linux, Ubuntu. My friend told me that it used the UNIX system, and was fairly similar to a Mac. Over the moon, I disappeared never to be seen again, while I figured out how to use this machine. Easy - not bad, fun - ok, however I soon got bored of it. I wanted the Mac... I wanted a mac, REALLY BADLY.
I came into a little bit of money, and now I have bought a second hand iBook G4. I have stopped sleeping with it now... after some strange looks from my girlfriend. (I'm not joking) However, I may have kicked it out of bed, but god I love this thing. No spy-ware... no ad-ware, no pop-ups, no viruses, no 'DLL ****' no goddamned Bill Gates ****-up of a Registry either. I seem to spend more time looking at this, because normally I would be clearing all the goodies that come with Windows... as mentioned above. The mac doesn't have it, it's smooth... even the cat has taken a fancy to it... (keeps sniffing it, it wont be long until he tried to bonk my ethernet port!) Even my grandma could probably use this... and she's 65 something. She doesn't even know how to turn on a computer!
iTunes... iPhoto... iChat... *nods in satisfaction* Open source software, not bad stuff really. The only thing that I have to groan about the Mac is the price of their products... a little on the pricey side, but the one solution to that? Get a better job!
But, what can I say... If you have the same problems with Windows as I have drivelled on about, get a mac... no, get a mac! I will not accept anybody using Windows. Get a mac. I wont repeat myself again, get a mac. Oops.
Many thanks for reading,
Kieran
iBook G4 1.07GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)Hi Kieran,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the world of Mac!
My 'rebirth' happened about 3 years ago after staying up all one night trying to clear the latest virus from my Windoze lappy. I've forgotten what it was called, there were so many. I do remember, though, that it was a juggling act trying to download the patch from M$ before the virus stopped me. Apparently that particular one was designed to do just that. (It blocked the download site, or was designed to overload it or something…?)
I'd vaguely heard/read that Macs were supposed to be immune to such attacks so decided to explore…
At the time PC World (dreadful place!) had a special offer on, what was then the new, eMacs. We went and had a look but 'er indoors hated the look of them, as I did. They had one poor, lonely iMac left, a 17", ( the model now known affectionately as the iLamp, ET or iGloo - see avatar ) which had been returned for, supposedly, one dead pixel. They had it sadly stowed away underneath the main display still in its box with a tatty handwritten 'Manager's Special' ticket on it with successive reductions marked. Cut a long story short, we got it for a stupidly low price, about 40% off list, & we gave it a home.
I had great fun playing with it and after only 10 minutes felt totally at home with its GUI. After another couple of hours of 'playing' I thought it was time to do some serious stuff and try and get some of our files off the Windows 'thing' onto the iMac. I was a total tyro at networking and didn't even know how to begin so everything got burned to CDs on the lappy and put onto the iMac that way, where compatible. (I've still never ventured into the dark arts of Win/Mac networking, I've never had to.) What shook me though was, even after only two hours on the iMac, how 'kiddy' the XP interface seemed, like it was a FisherPrice toy computer compared to the Mac (Jaguar) interface.
The iMac soon had company when my iBook joined the family. ('Er indoors quickly appropriated the iLamp for her eBay business) Now I prefer the iBook, the iMac keyboard seems so clunky after the iBook's. My only regret is that I didn't go for a larger HD when I ordered it. 30GB doesn't go anywhere these days. Yet my first, very own XP machine only had 3.2GB!
From those early days we've never looked back. I've gone out of my way to learn more about Macs mainly through this forum and other online resources, but there's no way I'd consider myself any kind of expert. I shy away from most things 'Terminal' sticking to sudo periodics and the like. Occasionally I have to 'face' a Windows machine, and hate it. Everything just seems so difficult and non-intuitive, but maybe that's because I am out of practice. To be honest, I don't really care. Windows is not something that I have the slightest inclination to re-familiarise myself with.
Would I change back? I think I've answered that!
Enjoy your Mac and visit frequently. 'Here' is an invaluable, free resource that can answer most of your questions via the search box or just browsing. And if you're still stuck anytime someone will always go out of their way to help.
Take care,
Adrian
ps The iMac's still going strong and I never did find that that 'dead pixel'. His loss, my gain!
pps Watch that cat, they love the warmth of laptop keyboards which, of course, increases the longer the cat lies on it until....poof! Overheated iBook and singed cat. Sometime during the last week or so, someone posted about their cat who, when asleep on the keyboard, could mysteriously activate the password to wake it up! I kid you not, have a scroll back.

I'm a new mac user and have to do a powerpoint presentation, how?
I a new mac used and have to do a powerpoint presentation, how? Is there a compatable program ? I have the pages app but don't see a powerpoint type program. Is there powerpoint app?

Do you need to do a presentation, or do you need to do a PowerPoint presentation?
PowerPoint is presentation software by Microsoft, part of Microsoft Office. If you want to use it, you need to buy it from Microsoft.
Apple has its own presentation software, called Keynote, and it's quite well regarded. However, it is not bundled with Mac OS X, and you have to buy it from Apple, either by itself, or as part of a suite called iWork, which is a sort of counterpart to Microsoft Office.
If you need compatibility with PowerPoint, but can't afford to buy it, you can try OpenOffice or LibreOffice. Both are free; they are based on the same software and they are designed for a high degree of compatibility with MS Office. There is also NeoOffice, based on the same software as the other two; it is supposed to be more Mac-like than the others, but, although theoretically free, it requires a (relatively) small fee to download, which means it's not really free. None of the three is as well polished or well supported as MS Office or iWork, but they do work quite well. -
only thing i downloaded was clamxav from it's actual website and it's first day with computer. I have it turned off now waiting for some answers
