Need Help with moving to an iMac.

Hey,
right now I'm writing from my old PC, I've orderd the new iMac 5K with upgrades like 16 GB ram' 3TB fusion drive and intel i7 so it means it takes more time.
I've never had a Mac and I actually bearly used one, but since for the past 4.5 years I've been using iPhone and 2 years iPad and I really enjoy Apple's eco system and contuity feature I decided to make the switch.
but because I don't have a lot of friends with Macs and I never used one I have some questions:
1.) Can 'pages' show me a .docx files without make them look wierd as it does so on the iPad?
2.) I saw a lot of ways to move my files (which I really need since I'm a student) to the Mac but I'm really not sure which one is the best for me. I need to move a full iTunes library, word and powerpoint docs, photos, movies and my Explorer 'Favorites'.
3.) In my past computer (not these one the one before) I had a lot (a lot) of viruses so now I have East Nod32 8 and its protecting my computer fully. should I buy a liecence for the Mac or as I saw posts online Mac don't need an anti virus?
4.) I heard that there's going to be 'office 2016' for OS X so I really thinking about purchesing it when it'll come. is office for mac works ok or it is a waste of money?
5.) I would like to use 'BootCamp' to have windows since some of my software doesn't support OS X, how much space should I give it?
6.) As I wrote here above I've never had a Mac before, what should I know about the software and the iMac 5K hardware?
(sorry if my question is too long...)

Hey Biransider,
I’m in the same boat as you; recently got rid of all Winders boxes and opted for the iMac 5K and I picked up that new 12” macbook. However, this is not my first mac, and had a 2010 MBA for the past five years. I also already received my iMac 5K and it's just plain great!
I’ll skip the obvious ones already answered.
2) You can try the migration assistant (never bothered) but with your specific requirements you can do this all with a simple external HDD or even thumb drive. The biggest thing with storage you have to understand between Winders and Mac is they use a different file system. Winders = NTFS, MAC = Mac OS Extended format as defaults for anything this century. You Mac can read NTFS formatted drives, but cannot write. There is middle ground; FAT32, a very old file system, can be written and read from both Winders and Mac, however it does not support a single files that are over 4GB in size (single 4GB+ file). So do you have an external HDD lying around? It’s likely formatted in NTFS for Winders. Just copy your files there and your Mac can copy them over. When you’re all done with Winders, I would reformat that external HDD with Mac OS Extended (journaled) so you can read/write to in going forward.
3) I’ve never once purchased antivirus software for my 2010 MBA and used it daily. Winders, I would not let it join the Wi-Fi network before it had AV
4) Office 2016 is currently in FREE preview mode right now. http://products.office.com/en-us/mac/mac-preview I have it running and it’s 100% free until they go live in June. I would not get the current Office 2011, get the free preview for now, and just buy the license in June; no reinstall needed, just buy the license in June.
5) the Drivers and software Apple used to make bootcamp work so well puts the HDD size requirement well above Winders “minimum system requirements” I believe it burned 55GB just for the Winders 7 on my iMac.
6) Did you also upgrade to the graphics card to the Radeon M295X? From a GPU processing standpoint, that is a big upgrade from the standard M290X it has by default. If you plan on doing ANY modern 3d gaming or video editing I highly recommend you update your order and get the updated GPU. Honestly, unless you plan on running a bunch of virtual machines at the same time on your iMac, I’d dump the memory upgrade for the GPU upgrade.

  • Needing help with moving pictures around

    I am in need of help in moving pictures and images around
    dreamweaver document window. My older brother gave me his computer
    witch has dreamweaver MX (he is in Irag) so i can start building
    building my own websites. I went to borders and bought a book on
    dreamweaver MX. Here is where I am having a problem with: when ever
    I bring a picture into the document window I can not move the
    picture around the document window. The book say "place the
    insertion point where you want the image to appear" but there is no
    insertion point. There is just a straight line as if I am about to
    type something. It's almost like I am in microsoft word. If I take
    the mouse over the picture , and then left click and try to drag
    the picture to the location I want it in, it doesn't move. Can
    somebody PLEASE help me out with this problem. Thanks Jical

    Nadia gave you a good place to start… Here is what you
    have to understand. Web pages are based on specific code that tells
    the viewer’s browser how to display the page. There has to be
    something that says, “Put this picture in the lower right
    hand corner, and center this image in the middle of the
    screen”
    Then there are further instructions that say “Put this
    text here and that link there”. So Dreamweaver (and most
    other web developing programs) do not work like Illustrator or
    PowerPoint where you can simply grab a picture and slide it around
    the page.
    In its simplest form you might drag an image onto the
    Dreamweaver design view page and click on the center button in the
    properties dialog.
    Then type in text and center it, left justify, right justify,
    etc. Add another picture and so on and you could possibly create a
    passable web page. Now click on the Code view button and see what
    code Dreamweaver generated in order to do all of this.
    That is what you will really need to understand before you
    can really get proficient at web design.
    At the next level, you can start to add in tables. These
    actually are similar to tables in Word. You can put text in one
    cell, images in another, colored backgrounds, thick and thin
    borders with contrasting colors, and you can start to see how to
    “contain” your images as Nadia suggests.
    Now look at the code again and see how these cells are
    defined around your content.
    Once you understand how this works, you will get much more
    comfortable with Dreamweaver. You will just have to get used to the
    idea that it doesn’t work like all of the publishing software
    that is only dependant upon its own format for layout. HTML is
    dependant upon the many browsers, computers, operating systems,
    user preferences, and a million other unknown factors.

  • I need help with moving my iTunes library to a new disk...

    I'm soon gonna get a new SSD which is half the size of my HDD. So i guess i wont be able to restore with time machine or use disk utility to clone the drive. I'll have to start with a fresh copy of moutain lion.
    What I'll want to do is that keep all my music on my ssd and let all the podcast and itunes u be on an external hdd.
    can someone outline the steps to...
    create a library on the ssd on which os x is installed.
    move music, playlists and apps.
    let the podcast and itunes u be on an external hdd and yet be accessible from itunes, like being referenced.
    in the past i did this by moving the entire library to the internal drive and then while itunes was running, move the videos from the library folder to the external drive. it autoMAGICALLY was able to find the videos on the external drive while my music and apps were stored in the internal.
    now my library size is so big with all the videos that i cannot do the above steps as i want be able to copy the entire library to the internal ssd.
    any help is appreciated.
    thanks in addvace.

    Sometimes we sleep.  We have even been known to be away from the keybord to bathe (but usually not for longer than 2 minutes once a week ).
    I don't know how you automagically did it last time - your details are lacking.  iTunes is normally terrible at following you moving things, especially from drive to drive.  You either have to let iTunes do the moving (by consolidating to a new location) or you have to disable iTunes managing your media in which case it will follow moving inside a drive but still not between drives.
    Despite the new version, iTunes still does not make it easy to split your library between drives.  Probably since you only buy your items from iTunes and are never away from a high speed Internet connection it doesn't matter since you can always stream or download items you need from your Match subscription, right?

  • Need HELP with Windows on my iMac.  Thanks.

    I'm an experienced Windows user. I bought the iMac 20" Duo Core 2 (2.16ghz) because of the hardware and the design. I want to use Windows XP Pro (then Vista) almost exclusively.
    PROBLEM: Windows installed and worked PERFECTLY (without the Mac OS or Boot Camp. I also installed the Mac drivers for Windows. Everything went beautifully UNTIL I started installing the Windows drivers for my external firewire sound equipment. Then the computer wouldn't fully boot. Every manufacturer I spoke with concerning my external equipment said that they did NOT plan to update their drivers to use Windows on a Mac. They said that there are problems and issues with the new Duo Core 2 processor in a Mac running Windows. These are DRIVER issues that may never be addressed by individual equipment manufacturers.
    QUESTION: Do I need to reinstall the Mac OS and keep it updated in order to avoid conflicts with Windows' use of the Mac hardware? Or can I simply install Windows only, and try for workarounds?
    Thank you very much for your replies.

    Thank you, Eric, for your VERY helpful reply.
    I've reinstalled Windows XP Pro S2, and got the system up and running again.
    The problem I initially had was with the M-Audio Firewire Solo external soundcard. Once the driver was installed, the computer locked during booting. The M-Audio tech I spoke with was exceptionally knowledgeable, and he said they were working on updated drivers for both the Mac and the PC, but not for Windows on a Mac.
    The problem could be that the firewire port uses the same IRQ as the hard drive. Although there isn't technically a conflict, the firewire port could be interfering with the boot when it's connected to a phantom-powered unit. And this unit cannot be hot-wired. However, the computer locked simply upon installing the driver with no unit connected.
    I've decided to change over to a external soundcard that uses USB instead. I'm hoping this will solve the problem.
    I purchased this computer for digital audio recording in Windows. If there are more conflicts that I cannot workaround, I'm going to have to return it and get a PC-based Intel desktop system. I don't want to do that however. I really, REALLY like this machine. But I need it to work with my equipment.
    BTW, I've searched the other forums here on Apple.com. Several people have written in about the problems they've had with both the firewire and USB ports - using the MAC OS. So it's not just a conflict with Windows.
    I really appreciate your reply. Thanks again.

  • Need help with moving sight over to Iweb

    I would like to start using IWeb but I already have a website built that I used Frontpage to create. I want to make some changes to the sight so if I cannot convert some of the things I have, Im ok with adapting!
    www.DarnGoodSeasoning.com
    1st question: (Visit site above) if you hover over the links on the left they turn green Can I do that in Iweb? I figured out how to do it with font but not pictures. I have the .gif of each in yellow and green.
    2nd When I have created pages in the past www.HeyRobi.com It changes the name in the address bar to http://heyrobi.com/Mac/HeyRobi.html Call me petty but I want it to say HeyRobi.com can I fix that?
    Thanks in advance for any help or tips. If there is any advice or tips how to improve the Darn Good site I am always up for constructive criticism. BTW I am dropping the frames!
    TIA HeyRobi

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. 1 - The rollover options are only available for text, not images.
    2 - To get must HeyRobbi.com to show in the URL window you'll need to use standard domain name forwarding with masking. Then every page of your site will display only that. The downside to that is visitors will be able to only bookmark the first or entry page of your site. That may or may not be a problem for you. My tutorial site, toadstutorials.info, is setup with masking.
    The following is a screenshot of how I setup my site with GoDaddy.com for forwarding and masking. Although every domain name provider is different your's will have a similar setup for you to set the masking for your domain name.

  • Need help with the classic question: iMac or MacPro?

    HI all,
    I have been tossing this questions for a little while now, high end iMac or low end MacPro? So if I can request your patience, please allow me to rattle this lot off and see if you can help.
    My current spec is:
    • MacPro 1,1
    • 2 x 2.66 Dual Core Xeon
    • I have 2 screens, 24"
    • All 4 internal bays have HDs, 1 is designated for TimeMachine.
    • 2 external HDs, 1 for iTunes and misc, 1 for boot HD backup.
    The software I run are mostly the Adobe CS suites, some 3d, some audio, and soon some FCPX.
    I have had the computer for about 4 years now, and although it has served me very well it is getting tired etc. I am a long-term tower computer fan, but I can't ignore the question.
    So, I have been thinking of either:
    • Going for the high-end iMac, and consolidate much of my internal HDs into an external RAID system.
    or
    • Getting the low-end MacPro, with the 3.2ghz Nehalem chip upgrade, and basically keep the same 'style' of system I have now.
    The
    What would you recommend? My concern is of course related to price, and bang for the buck, but more than that - longevity for the upcoming years. Pretty much now is the time when I will be updating, and I expect to keep whatever system for the next few years.
    I don't see my uses for the Mac to be too much different from what is listed above. I have not installed anything other than additional HDs and RAM into my current Mac - so in that respect expandability isn't too much of an issue.
    The price is similar enough to be comparable.
    In case you wonder, the current MacPro has been earmarked for use in another task, which is likely to include usage of the screens... Hence in somerespects, this is a "starting from scratch" situation...
    Thoughts?
    Many thanks,
    Aaron

    Forgot to mention Aperture. Lot's of photos.

  • Need help with Yahoo Messenger for iMac webcam chat

    I'm trying to use Yahoo messenger webcam chat on my iMac.  The camera works, but no one can hear me.  My mic works with Facetime and Skype.  What do I need to change?  Thanks?

    Yes it does.  There are only two selections and I've tried each of them to no avail.  Is what I'm asking even possible on the Mac?  I've tried with a few different people and it's always the same problem:  Great picture, no sound.  Facetime and Skype work great, I'm just having problems with Messenger.  It's version 3.0.1 beta.  Perhaps that feature just doesn't work in Mac?
    Thanks for responding!  I was worried I'd asked a stupid question!

  • Need help with moving files?

    I now have two challenges.  As a new user I need to know how to copy my iTunes files onto a USB stick.  I am not sure how to find the files, copy them or anything,  the second thing that I need to know is how to remove files from the desktop.  While trying to copy these same music files I clicked at the wrong time and now they are all piled up on the desk top.  There are 1800 files all piled up.  Just want these gone.  Thanks for any help.

    While trying to copy these same music files I clicked at the wrong time and now they are all piled up on the desk top.  There are 1800 files all piled up.  Just want these gone. 
    Click Finder and desktop. Assuming for simplicity that there are only the 1800 files on the desktop that you want to delete them (important that you have saved them somewhere else where you want them) .... click on the first one in the list to highlight it, then move to the last one in the list, hold the shift key and click on it to highlight it. All in between should also now be highlighted. Either drag that group to the trash or right click and choose move to trash. Then empty the trash.
    If you want to copy the files on the desktop to the USB stick, follow Niel's instructions above.
    On your hard drive, you'll find your itunes library under your user ID / music / itunes

  • Need help with moving files into Itunes and syncing

    Please help.
    I have an external hard drive with my music on it.  I created a new playlist in Itunes and did a drag and drop from my external hard drive into my newly created playlist. 
    Now that I go back and play the items I brought over, I get an error that says "original files not found" and it won't play and therefore does not seem to be syncing to the Ipod to be able to play.
    Can you please give me guidance as to what I can do without recreating all the work I had already done?
    Thanks,
    Michelle

    Is the external drive connected?
    Has the drive letter possibly changed due to being disconnected and reconnected?

  • Getting new Hard Disk. Need help with moving files from old one.

    Hey guys so here is my dilema. So I have a Lacie 500GB Hard Drive and made the mistake of accidently deleting all my backups.db into the trash but thankfully never emptied that. There was no way to put it back into the backups folder so it caused me a lot of distress. I have decided to grab a portable hard disk instead such as the Western Digital. Heres my thought. I really only want to transfer a few things from the Lacie such as photos, movies, and a few documents from all the backup dates but nothing else. Is there a way to maybe automate so that certain files will transfer over instead of it all?
    Thanks in advance!
    On a sidenote, if you have any suggestions for portable, small, lightweight, yet large capacity (at least 1TB) portable hard drives let me know!

    Lacie is a Seagate drive
    To move specific files, open the backup database (time machine, backups.db). When you open Time Machine and select a date to restore from, you should see a Finder like view of that particular backup.  Navigate through the backup the same way as you would through the Finder and choose the folder or files you wish to restore.

  • HOW DO YOU GUYS DEAL WITH APPLE.. SO CONFUSING...NEED HELP WITH SPECS FOR PURCHASE OF IMAC 21.5

    Hi guys, been reading your forums, blogposts, etc and am getting more confused.  I'm just a video girl trying to produce meaningful content through web videos for small to mid sized businesses and want to come over from the dark side. 
    Good news,, I dont need a super giant system,  I do simple editing for web videos, minimal graphics, no motion graphics, no animation etc. currently using CS4, will probably end up with 5.5.
    I want to get imac 21.5 or 27 if i have to..  So here's the question we all have,,, what do I really need besides an Apple fairy godmother to figure this crazy stuff out?????
    I want to be able to have firewire add on, but the rest is what I need help with.   So i've been looking at cs6 specs, even though im not there yet, eventually will be,, so just need to run cs4 now and build from there.  I also want to eventually move to final cut down the road so I want imac able to upgrade to final cut.
    WHAT DO I REALLY NEED MINIMALLY FOR NOW?  WHAT CAN I GET LATER IF i CHOOSE TO DO MORE AND NEED MORE POWER?
    cs6:
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.6.8, v10.7, or v10.8**
    4GB of RAM (8GB recommended)
    4GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
    Additional disk space required for preview files and other working files (10GB recommended)
    1280x900 display
    7200 RPM hard drive (multiple fast disk drives, preferably RAID 0 configured, recommended)
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    DVD-ROM drive compatible with dual-layer DVDs (SuperDrive for burning DVDs; Blu-ray burner for creating Blu-ray Disc media)
    QuickTime 7.6.6 software required for QuickTime features
    Optional: Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance
    Any responses would be great.  I know you guys are busy answering the really high end tech questions

    All the current iMac models (both 21.5" and 27" with OS X Mt. Lion 10.8) will run CS4, 5.5 and 6 just fine.  They will also run Final Cut Pro X just fine.  Ditto for most any application you may want to use.
    Below are some notes (specific to your apparent requirements) that may help you with your purchase decision:
    Notes on purchasing a 21.5" iMac
    All 21.5" iMacs come with 8GB RAM but you cannot add more later.  I strongly suggest getting the maximum RAM (16GB) when you order the iMac.
    The basic hard drive is a 1TB 5400rpm drive.  It will work fine with Adobe CS but you will probably want the added speed of the optional 1TB Fusion drive for better performance. Some people will recommend/argue for one of the optional SSD drives instead, but they are very expensive and still only come in relatively small capacities - I don't recommend the SSD drives.  Get the Fusion drive and spend any extra money on a good external hard drive for backup and/or extra storage instead of an SSD.
    Notes on purchasing a 27" iMac
    All 27" iMacs come with 8GB RAM and you can add more later, up to 32GB
    The basic hard drive is a 1TB 7200rpm drive - it will be fine with Adobe CS.  There are upgrade options to a 3TB 7200rpm drive or a 1TB or 3TB fusion drive - these will be fine also.  There are also SSD drive options, but I do not recommend them. (Same comments as above.)
    Notes on all the current iMacs
    iMacs no longer come with built-in CD/DVD drives.  If you need one, you will need to purchase the Apple Superdrive accessory drive ($79)
    All of the iMac graphic processors (GPU's) are compatible with Adobe CS 4, 5.5, 6
    It is very difficult to impossible to change or upgrade the hard drive later on, so don't buy low-end thinking you can add a better internal hard drive later.
    Be aware that Macs always come with the latest (most recent) version of OS X.  And OS X Mavericks (10.9) is due to be released soon (in the next month or two).  There is no guarantee that the older Adobe CS 4 or 5.5 versions will run on OS X Mavericks.  If you cannot upgrade to CS 6 in the near future, you may want to purchase now rather than after OS X Mavericks is released.
    For what it's worth, I'd recommend the 27" iMac if your budget can afford it.  You will appreciate the larger screen size and added capabilities over the years you will use the computer.

    AFAIK, you shouldn't need a pinmod for a Mobile Athlon XP CPU to work in a nforce2 mobo
    did you have any other CPU installed prior to this one? if so, refer here to clear the CMOS: Clear CMOS Guide
    next, refer to your manual, or download from MSI, for location of the FSB jumpers; ensure J8 is shorted across pins 1-2, and J7 is shorted
    finally, enter your BIOS setup menu, and under Advanced Chipset Features, set CPU FSB to 133mhz (or even 166mhz if you have DDR333 memory). the only thing i can't see in the Mega 180 manual is where you set the multiplier...
    which is where the BIOS has limited overclocking features, and you might have a problem here
    i think i'll pass this over to the Overclockers forum, where someone may be able to give a better answer....

  • Need help with iMac OSX backup

    Hi,
    I currently have a mac book air running osx 10.8.
    And i recently purchased a imac running osx 10.8.
    I need help with the backup feature between my imac and macbook air.
    I work with excel files a lot, using Microsoft office for mac.
    so basically what i want is to have a 2 way backup between my imac and macbok air.
    That is, when i make any changes, create or delete a file in either of the system, i want the other system to make the change automatically.
    For example when i make changes to a spreadsheet (excel file) on my imac, i want the same to be updated automatically on my macbook air, and vice versa.
    I want both the machines to have the same files, updating the files as they get modified. or deleting if its deleted on any one of the system. Like a 2 way sync.
    Kindly let me know if theres any way to do this.  or something similar that can help me, like i mainly require the excel spreadsheets to be updated, system files, other libraries are not important. 
    I can also put all my files in a single folder if thats required.
    Ps. Both the machines are connected on the same network, and i can also hook a external drive for the backup purpose if required.
    I searched google for softwares and couldnt find the appropriate ones.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Let me know if you require any more info on this.
    Thanks
    Gaurav.
