Switching To Mac From Windows?

First post here, so I'd firstly like to say Hello to everyone and wish them a happy new year
Basically, I'm curious to know if any of you have switched to a MAC from a Windows based machine, and if you found the transition easy and "complete" in the sense of not having to make many sacrifices.
Would also like to hear how someone with experience of both thinks they compare against one another?
Pros/Cons?
For someone that has been using Windows since Windows 3.1, I'm considering switching it up and getting a Mac Pro and ended up going for the 13 inch model with 2.6GHZ i5 and Iris 5100 Graphics + 512GB SSD. I remember a couple years ago at uni where I had to use a Mac a few times, and it drove me insane because I had no clue what was going on. I'm sure if I gave it some time I would have adjusted, but the initial "change" was unpleasant and I felt lost in comparison to how I know my way around Windows.
As a side note, the phones I was using were initially Windows Mobile based, then Android, but I have also owned a couple iPhones and Windows Phones. In my mind I likened a Mac to iPhone vs Android + (old) Windows Mobile, where the iPhone is more fluid and simple but with more of a lack of options and customization, whereas the Android OS and especially the old Windows Mobile were more clunky but you could more or less do anything you wanted on them.
I suppose I'm worried about having to give up some applications I've become accustomed to in windows and finding out that there are some things which just aren't possible, even though it's much prettier and more fluid.
Any personal experiences with this will be greatly appreciated   I realise I'll probably get more biased answers depending on which forum I post this on, but I'm curous nonetheless!
Thanks
As a sidenote, I ended up buying it for £1250 (250 quid cheaper) new and sealed off a seller on ebay with great feedback and who sells other equipment too.  I'm guessing this will be eligible for the 1yr Apple warranty once I have registered it?
Cheers

Use Mac for couple of days and as interface becomes familiar, you will never regret it.
These resource material may make transition a bit pleasant.

True.
Launch App store and you may find many applications that may suit your need.

Correct.
Inspect it thoroughly
Enjoy the new Mac.

  • Switched to MAC from Windows

    Help. I switched to MAC from Windows XP. I understand that you have to restore the settings so IPOD nano however by doing this it appears that I lose everything. How can I save all music that is saved to my NANO so I do not lose it?

    If you moved all your data from your PC to your Mac, especially the music library for iTunes, then all you need to do is load your music into the Mac version of iTunes, re-create your playlists, and then connect the nano. The fact that the nano will be erased when you re-format it for Mac isn't a problem, providing you've already loaded your music into the Mac's iTunes. Once you reformat, you just sync with iTunes and all the music is put back on the nano.

  • Switching to MAC from Windows: How to open files in Office 2007  VMFusion?

    Dear all,
    Intro:
    I switched to MAC and now cannot find the solution to a simple problem.
    First: I need an Office 2007 PowerPoint FULLY compatible solution.
    What did not work: IWork, NeoOffice, Office 2008 (this is not fully compatible with Office 2007 Files)
    I also had problems with: Parallels (not stable, too many hangups), codeweaver crossover (office files do not even open sometimes, good idea but not suitable for serious office jobs)
    Now I have VMWare Fusion with WinXP and Office 2007 as this seems to be the only truly stable and best solution to run Office 2007 on Mac
    Question:
    How to open files in Office 2007 on MAC VMWare Fusion easily?
    It would be nice to spotlight the file and click and it opens in powerpoint or excel or word 2007 in Virtual Machine.
    The only known solution to me is to use the Windows explorer to navigate to the file and then open it from Fusion WinXP. This is very cumbersome and honestly makes me think of getting back to a windows machine as I work with office frequently.
    Thank you for your help.

    Thank you for the quick reply.
    Yes, I have Office 2007 installed. The problem is that to open files in Fusion virtual machine I have to use the windows explorer and navigate to the file to open it. Now that I have the mac I want to use the good feature of spotlight. So when I search and find the file I want to open I cannot click on it on the mac (or in finder) but I have to switch back to the virtual machine, locate the file again and open it from windows.
    You might think - ok, why not skip the first step of using spotlight, and look up the file in windows explorer before anything else?
    Correct, but I know from parallels that there is a file association possible to directly access the file in office 2007.
    This does not seem possible in Fusion - So the question is whether there is a possibility on the mac to associate the file and to click on it in finder/spotlight and the office 2007 application in fusion opens the file. So far I could not find anything.
    Thanks

  • Thinking about switching to Mac from Windows, Good Idea?

    I've always had a PC and I've never really used or work with a Mac.  I'm a little questionable about buying one.  What all do I need to know about Macs?  I plan on using it for college and personal reasons. I hardly do anything outside of my house with my laptop. I've got an iPad and an iPhone which is what lead me to buying a Mac. I've done some research myself, but I don't know whether the Macbook Air or the Macbook Pro would be better for my uses.  Is it better to go for the 512GB flash storage or should the 256GB work out fine? I've got a lot of questions, so sorry in advance.
    Thanks for the help!

    Good article >  http://thenextweb.com/apple/2013/11/10/switching-windows-mac-learned/
    Storage size depends on use. If you store a huge photo and video library, go with the 256GB.

  • Switching to mac from windows / Outlook 2003 how to import?

    I have just bought a macbook pro after years of using windows; experience is fabulous thus far but I have one problem in migrating over to the new machine. I'm considering whether to use Mail or Entourage. One of the main things that will help me choose is the possibility of importing my inbox (including sub folders) from Outlook 2003. (I'm running it internet only)
    Is there any way to do this? Either in entourage or using some available translation program?
    Many thanks in advance.
    John.a.

    I concur John, the best way to import your contacts from Outlook 2003 is to convert your Outlook Contacts to V-Cards as the link provided suggests. From an email content perspective, thats a bit more difficult. However, there are a couple of work-arounds:
    This is one:

    Alternatively Outlook to Mac is a package from "Little Machines" that costs $10 for the fully functional version (very worth it) and allows you to do all this from within its application. I used it when I converted from Windows and it worked really well.

  • Just switched to Mac from Windows

    I have recently bought a MacBook Pro. I went thru all the setups etc. and am using the Mac now. I have Dreamweaver CS5 installed and when this is open and I go to Finder and search a file. The Dreamweaver window minimizes some. It's not only Dreamweaver that this happens to. That is why I logged this here. Can I change this in the setups somehow to have the previously opened window to stay maximized when opening another window?
    Thanks for your help.

    Opening a window or switching applications should not change the size of other windows. I suspect that you're doing something wrong, in a Windows mindset, but I'm not sure what.
    Is the background turning dark, and does the window move to the center of the screen? If so, you're activating Exposé somehow, which shows windows in a tiled view. See System Preferences -> Exposé & Spaces for options.
    How are you going to the Finder? Are you clicking one of the little colored bubbles in the top left corner of the window? Those are for closing the window, minimizing the window to the Dock and resizing the window. None are strictly for switching applications.
    Personally, I've found that using the universal command-H keystroke to hide applications is very useful, though Adobe products aren't very respectful of such things... Photoshop and Photoshop Elements step on that keystroke.

  • Help switching to Mac from Windows

    I am a VERY inexperienced Windows user. I have a Gateway laptop that has ok performance, but has begun acting up with it's battery and is no longer covered under warranty. My main question is, how easy is it to get used to a Mac? I have never used it before. Basically the only thing I do is use 3-5 websites on the internet, and very little else.
    I am trying to decide between buying a new laptop at the day after Thanksgiving sales for 399, or buy my son's ibook for 600. He paid 1300 last year. It has 512mb ram, 1.2ghz powerpc g4, airport, 40gb hd. (By the way, I have no idea what this means, my son just wrote down this information and told me to put this on there).
    Like I said, my knowlege of computers is extremely limited. I don't like dealing with the Windows Antivirus software, as it seems to pop up all the time. So I guess my main question is, how difficult is it going to be for me to understand all the programs. I will probably only be using Firefox and iTunes. Thanks

    Hi Phillip,
    Using a Mac is very intuitive in most cases. Most things just make sense. I use a PC for my business (only because of propriety software) and I have both Fifefox and iTunes on it. They work the same on both platforms. You shouldn't have any adjustment problems there.
    I too can't stand the constant intrusion of antivirus and internet security software. As of now, there are no viruses that infect Macs in the wild. I don't use any antivirus software on my Macs (5). Some may say I'm nieve but until there's a potential problem, I see no need for a solution. There are macros that can cause problems via Excel or Word but just disable macros in both and don't run any that you don't know aren't malicious.

  • Just switched to MAC from Windows...missing my home and end keys.  Is there a MAC equivalent?

    I am sure there are combination keystrokes to equate to windows, but haven't found them all yet.  What is a good resource for finding this information?

    If you get a wireless PC keyboard with Home and End keys, most programs that use that often will support it.
    For instance Firefox and the free LibreOffice supports those features.
    It's just a lot of Apple programs don't.

  • I'm running Windows 7 on my Mac using parallels 7. Do I need to isolate my mac from windows?

    If I isolate Mac from Windows, can I copy and paste between OS?  I use Windows 7 developer applications (Access, Visio, Visual Basic) for my job.  Wanting to make sure I am using the best practice without compromising my security of my Mac.  Any insight would be appreciated.

    There is no absolute need to isolate Windows from your Mac.
    You do, however, have to protect the Windows side of your computer with antivirus and antimalware software.
    You can decide on the level of integration.
    You can share a specific folder to move files between the two operating systems.
    You can just drag and drop files between OSX and Windows without creating a shared directory.

  • Teacher switching to Mac from PC--but worried about difficulty transferring Microsoft Office files?

    Hey everyone,
    I'm a high school English teacher, and recently my PC at home died after only two years.  I'm really wanting to switch over to Apple products, but I'm not sure about the combination of machines to buy and I'm concerned about how easily my 3,000+ Microsoft Office-based files I use every day at work will be transferred to a Mac. I'd really appreciate any advice you may have about your experience using both types of machines!
    Issue #1:  The first thing I'm unsure about is what combination of machines to buy from Apple. I absolutely am getting an iPad, for the portability and because I love my Iphone but want a larger interface on which to use my educational apps.  However, I'm really torn between getting a Mac Pro desktop or the much smaller, much more expensive, but much more portable Macbook Pro laptop.  My husband is a gamer (he loves Starcraft!) and his only criteria for our new machine is that it will play his games.  Both the Mac Pro and Macbook Pro have the capabilities to play the graphics-heavy game, but I don't know if I want to go back to a desktop computer after having the easy of a laptop at home for two years.  Any profession swear one way or the other?  Please give me your reasons for your preference!  I'd love to hear.
    Issue #2:  The other thing I'm nervous about is transferring all of the 3,000+ files from my school PC to a Macbook or Mac so I can work on them at home and not have to haul the PC to and from school. I've transferred what I could to Google Drive, but I'm not keen on switch over to Drive completely because it doesn't give me the flexibility that working with Word does.  I'd like to know how the transition from PC to Mac is when it comes to Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, and Excel files, since I'll be creating them on the PC at school and continuing work on the Macbook or Mac Pro at home.  Is it difficult transition?  Please let me know...again, I appreciate your responses. 
    Thanks very much,
    Mrs. Tripp

    I think you should purchase the MacBook Pro, because as you stated you are accustomed to using a laptop, or if you would like a desk-top consider the iMac over the Mac Pro (To much for your needs).  Both computers can handle your requirements regarding the MS Office files you would need to purchase the Mac version of MS Office.
    Starcraft will work on a Mac, another option you have with a Mac, it is possible to run Windows via BootCamp or a software solution like Parallels Desktop and VMWare.

  • I just moved to Mac from Windows and my desktop is still visible when I use Photoshop.

    Most people who switch from Windows to Mac find it unsettling to see the desktop when they start Photoshop. This is the way Mac works and has since the beginning. What you are looking for is the Application Frame. This is a new feature in CS4. You can find it towards the bottom of the Windows menu.
    If you are using a version prior to CS4 there is no Application Frame. You can change your desktop to gray; many do this; or you can hit the f Key for Maximized mode and once more for Fullscreen mode. This is the closest to the Application Frame in CS3 and earlier versions. 
    CS3 is the only version with the Maximized mode, but all have the Fullscreen mode.

    I dont know the answer yet, but i have noted what appears to be a bug in 10.9 in how it handles folder dates.  Right now i am seeing folder modified dates changing randomly ot "today" - whatever date the parent folder was opened.
    In the past my folders "modified" date was always the same as the last modified date of the items within.  But this only moved down ONE level - if a subfolder's entries were updated the "gradfather" folder did not update.
    But now severa people are reporting random, incorrect folder dates. I hoep this will be corrected soon, but who knows?

  • Connect to Mac from Windows Vista issue

    Hi I want to view some files that are on my Mac from my PC (Windows Vista). Here's what I did so far: On my Mac I enabled file sharing, I selected the folders that I want to share.
    Now here's the part that confuses me, it asks me to add the users to share the folder with. but do I enter the username and password for my mac or is it the username and password for my PC? What I did was add all the accounts that are on my mac.
    I then went on my PC, clicked on network, I can see the mac computer, I can also see my username and folder, I click on it, I then see the drop box but when I click on it I get a network error message that says "Windows cannot access Users public folder drop box".
    I don't know what setting I need to enable since I'm very new to this. I can access the files that are on my PC from my Mac just fine. but I can't access the files that are on my Mac from my PC. Do I need to create a new mac account?
    I also noticed that when I click on the mac computer from my PC in Network, it doesn't ask me to enter a username and password, could that be the reason I can't connect? Please help.

    The user names and passwords are the same on both systems. That is not the issue.
    The issue is that each user can only connect to the mac from their windows system when they physically log on as user at the mac.
    Otherwise it will not even show up in their network neighborhood.
    If I boot up the mac and log in as the user, I can connect to the mac from my windows system but the other two users can't.
    Likewise if one of them logs in as the user on the mac, I cannot connect to it from my windows system.

  • Connect to Mac from Windows

    I have three Windows systems and one Mac.
    Currently, to connect to my Mac (OSX Tiger) from Windows I have to be logged into the Mac as that user on the Windows machine.
    I have three users that access the Mac. All are setup on the Mac as users. All are setup on the Windows systems as users.
    But if John logs into the Mac and Betty tries to access the Mac from her computer she cannot. If John tries to access the Mac from his Windows system he can.
    Does anyone know how to setup the Mac so that any of the three users can connect to it from Windows regardless of who is logged in?
    I tried to set the group to staff for all the users public folders but that did not help.

    There is no chance to reinstall, because i sold them.
    I was looking for some contact mail or whatever but there is only the chat, which is offline now.
    Is there any contact mail or number for germany?

  • Transferring iTunes to new Mac from Windows

    Hello, My wife and I both have iPhone 4s, and just purchased a MacBook Air, and recently updated to Lion OS. Previously, our iTunes / iPhones was on a Windows XP OS.
    We are having trouble properly running the phones iTunes accounts on the new MacBook Air. I have also tried setting up “Home-sharing” for my home MacBook Air and work Windows XP OS, but seems not to work correctly, so would like to cancel “Home-sharing” on the MacBook Air and Windows and just use the Mac for updating iTunes (podcast).
    We had the same iTunes account for both devices on our home Windows OS, but would like to make separate accounts on the new MacBook Air machine.
    It would be highly grateful to receive advice on how to reinstall iTunes and setting up our phones on 2 different accounts on the MacBook Air. 
    Thank you in advance for the kind assistance.

    I have the same exact question. Why doesn't apple have better documentation????
    Question: how do I move my entire library PLUS ALL THE ASSOCIATED PLAYLISTS/RATING HISTORY/SKIP HISTORY/PLAYCOUNT HISTORY/etc, WITHOUT CREATING DUPLICATES, to my new mac from my Vista machine?
    My situation: Vista machine; meta data saved on my Vista machine hard drive*, but the music files are on an external hard drive.
    Solution: ???. (I'm guessing it's as simple as saving the library meta file to a cd, then put the cd in the mac, and double click the file, and then all that library info would be added to iTunes on the mac .... but then how do you then add the music to the mac so that the library finds each song that it's supposed to find, without creating duplicates, while keeping all your rating history, skip history, playcount, playlists, etc???)
    Thanks so much!!!
