Am gonna be a MAC soon, so what are the essential programs to have??

Hi guys,
I am suppose to be a MAC soon, want to get the new Macbook Pro 13"
i've been using windows since i started using computers which is long enough to have it running in my blood!! but now i want to move to Mac, FINALLY
what do you think are the most important or essential programs to have on the Mac else than its standard ones of course just in general regarding ANY category
on windows i have a variety of utilities, photography, music...etc all that stuff, so on Mac what do u think is the best? i know it is a personal choice, but since i am new i don't know what's out there for Mac to decide!!
Thank you so much

first, if you want to fine tune your appearance and themes or unlock some other options that macs don't let you fool with by default i suggest; candybar(for docks and icons),theme park (for themes), onyx and deeper (for advanced options). depending on what you will use your mac for, you might be able to streamline your workflow with; jumpcut (automatic copy and paste clipboard), name mangler (batch file renamer), and quicksilver (quick finder search). and you might want to play with your accelerometer with silly apps like liquid mac, mac saber, and neverball.
but over all you will be pretty impressed with the apps that are bundled with leopard os. mail, ical, adressbook,and iphoto all work so well together. garageband and automater rock as well.
SWEET, u have a COOL bundle of Apps
i like that sort of stuff
and the accelerometer thing i want to try
thank you for those really

    If the mouse clicks something on its own then it looks like you have a hardware problem with the trackpad or possibly the battery that is right underneath the trackpad.
    I have read that the battery can swell and that would put pressure on the trackpad.

  • What are the essential services that are required for ensuring server is healthy up ?

    Hi All,
    Please advise me What are the essential services that are required for ensuring server is healthy up ?
    Warm regards,

    The easiest way to find the Health report of server or workstation follow the below steps which is very much easiest way to get it done
    There are a few ways to find this in Windows Server 2008.
    First click “Start” and type “Generate a system health report”
    Or second navigate your way to the Control Panel choose “System and Security” and choose “Generate a system health report”.
    The last is to type “Generate a system health report” into the “Search Control Panel” box in the upper right hand corner of the Control Panel window.
    Once armed with this data it’s easier to refute or acknowledge an issue is at hand.
    BTW if you’re looking for this same thing in Windows 7 it’s there just buried a bit more.
    Search Performance in the Start Menu, choose “Performance Information and Tools”, click “Advanced Tools” from the menu on the left, and finally choose “Generate a system
    health report”.

  • What are the essential cases where we must have use update module F.M.

    Dear sap Friends ,
    I want to update or insert bill no. in a ztable  when creating bill through VF01  .
    I have done it through insert sql query as well as by update module enabled functin module .
    what are the essential cases where we must have to use  update module enabled functin module and why we use IN UPDATE TASK .
    mainly i want to know in which case i must have to use update module enabled functin module and not by insert or modify query used smply .
    Thanks ,
    Amit Ranjan .

    Hi Amit,
    I sincerly advice you to search SCN or any anywherelse as big theory is behind this
    few related info.
    If you are using more than one screen to collect the data to update a perticular table and corresponding underlying table Child table in that case , after every screen change an implicit data base commit takes place and you are still collecting the data from other screens , in such cases you use IN UPDATE TASK
    Please go through SAP LUW

  • What is the best way to run windows on my Mac? And What are the pitfalls I should watch for?

    What is the best way to run windows on my Mac?   What are the pitfalls/

    If you need Windows as your main operating system you would be better off buying a Real Windows PC.
    Running windows on a Mac is always a compromise. Whether in a Boot Camp partition or in a Virtual Machine.
    In boot camp you can't easily Re-Partition and or Re-Size the drive it is installed on. You can't use both graphics cards as Apple has limited Windows to use the discrete graphics only, that is if your mac has 2 graphics cards (15" MBPs), which will shorten the battery run time in Windows.
    The trackpad only has limited functions in Windows, less then is available on the Mac side and a real Windows PC.

  • How do i transfer DVD files to my Ipod?  What are the best programs to use?

    I have an annoying time trying to get DVDs onto the Ipod. I can't help but think why Apple didn't make it easier to do this. Does anyone know how to get DVDS into the Ipod and what are the best conversion programs?

    The iTunes/iPod ecology is designed to make it hard to use the iPod for casual copyright theft, but extracting your data is eminently feasible.
    You should be able to recover the media with the tips in  this post from forum regular Zevoneer. Data in your apps is potentially at risk but you can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new library but I've never needed to test the method so I can't say for sure.

  • What are the software required to have planning in my PC

    Hi ,
    I am planning to install "Hyperion planning" in my PC. Can any one suggest me what are the software i required to install the planning in my PC and let me have the clear information about installation process for each software.Please advice guys...
    Note : Please include the version also
    Thanks & Regards,
    Prabhas

    There are three ways to do this:
    1) Install a server OS on the laptop. I tried this on an 8 gigabyte laptop and ran out of RAM for all of the things I wanted to do (SS, Calc Mgr, Essbase, EAS, APS, FDM, Financial Reporting, Planning, etc.).
    2) Go to a VM solution, such as VMWare (I like VM Workstation, personally). Watch out for this on memory as 8 gigabytes isn't going to be enough. The Great and Good John G has recently published notes on how to set up 11.1.2.1's compact deployment mode. That might work in a laptop (yes, you wrote PC but nowadays that so often means laptop) -- I have yet to try it but have high hopes.
    3) Go to the cloud. I personally prefer this as it is so easy and fast although you are paying a per-hour charge. Check out John Booth's blog: www.metavero.com for more details -- his blog links to mine for the instructions on how to launch that first EPM AMI.

  • I am changing ISPs and will be dropping two email addresses I use as AppleID's.  Can I keep them as AppleID's and use a rescue e-mail address from a new ISP?  What are the downsides if I have an iCloud address as an alias under one of those addresses?

    I am about to change internet service providers and will be dropping two e-mail addresses that I use as Apple ID’s.  One is used solely for iTunes and the other is used for iCloud, mail, calendars, etc.  The second has two iCloud email address as aliases.  I will be going to a new ISP and will establish an e-mail address from that ISP as a backup in case the iCloud addresses are not available. 
      It has been suggested to me that I should continue to use the e-mail addresses from the old ISP as my Apple ID’s.  And that I use the e-mail address from the new ISP as a rescue e-mail address for those Apple ID’s to get any communications relating to the ID’s. That seems like a simple and straight-forward way of handling the change and would minimize the chance of complications from changing the Apple ID’s.  But, are there any downsides to handling the change in this way?  If so, what are they?

    You can continue to use them as Apple ID's, change the rescue address (as you know)
    You can use your iCloud address, but it won't be an alias, it's a full email address.

  • This is my first time using FCPX and I just completed editing a music video. What are the last things I have to do to get the best quality out of my video before I try to upload it to youtube?

    I want my music video to look as crisp as possible. I was wondering if there were an tricks or tips that needs to be done before i upload it to youtube. This will be my first time uploading anything to youtube so im not sure. also what does rendering mean? and compressing? thanks

    Best quality = "master file" export. You can export said file and store it where ever you like.
    But quality "out" depends on what you put "in." You can never "improve" on the quality during the edit process. If you had low quality H.264 files to begin with, that's the best it's gonna get. If you had HQ ProRes422 or even 4444... (which is "above" 2k HD quality) those are great. And the output will be rich. But most likely, you will have to compress that file to exhibit it. (I'll get to that later.)
    Now, when you share to YouTube, you will be limited on quality. They have a prescribed bit-rate and compression. (Even though they do offer 1080p.)
    Now, you will NOT be able to share a "master" file to YouTube. Much too big.
    Luckily, in the share options, FCPX has an option for "YouTube." It does all the compression for you. BTW: This is awesome. It finds your account and does the "posting" for you. It's simple.
    Rendering = calculations made on various effects. A non linear editor has to build files for some effects... dissolves, moves, filters, etc, etc. The software does "math" and crunches numbers--to make your image animate across the screen, example. This is called "rendering." Depending on your preferences, this is done for you.
    Now when you output or "share," rendering is done for you automatically. If you choose to see how an effect will look "smoothed out," you can choose to render a file on the fly.
    Compression means just that. Video files are, by nature, huge... billions of O's and 1's. To make them flow thru various pipelines (the electronic infrastruture) most files are compressed--or made smaller. Basically, some of the duplicate O's and 1's are taken out. (It's much more complicated than that, I'm givng a laypersson's definition.) The more you compress, the less quality you get. The picture begins to look "jig-jagged" or pixelated. There is less detail in the picture.
    When you go to "share" to YouTube, FCPX will do this compression for you, up to (or should I say, "down to") YouTube's specs.

    iCloudServices.exe (iCloud)
    mDNSResponder.exe (Bonjour Service)

    Apple Application Support
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Apple Software Update
    Bonjour
    iCloud
    iTunes
    Thanks!

    The don't run until needed. They are not programs; they are system services (except for iTunes), and are normally suspended until they receive an interrupt. If you really want to stop them you can go to the Control Panel, Services icon, and stop them. Then start them when you want to use them. You will need an Administrator account to do this, however.
    Launch the Task Manager, Processes tab, and see how much CPU they use. It will generally be zero except when the phone is connected, either through WiFi or USB.

  • What are the fieldpoint basics? Have I understood correctly?

    Sorry for being a complete newcomer on this subject.
    I've got a bit of distributed I/O in a lab at work, and instead of cabling up PCI devices centrally from all over the room, I've begun thinking that a networked approach would be better. Of course I know of "Fieldpoint" as a topic within NI, but I've no experience of it whatsoever.
    Am I correct in assuming that.....
    Fieldpoint is a network-based distributed I/O architecture (Ethernet)?
    Fieldbus is the communication protocoll used to communicate with Fielpoint controllers?
    I need "LV Realtime" to be able to use Fieldpoint?
    The individual host-controllers can be accessed from anywhere on the ethernet network?
    How does Fieldpoint compare to a USB-based VXI or PXI solution. Aside from the USB/Ethernet differences which is clear to me. Which is easier to expand? Which is more flexible?
    Sorry for the newcomer questions, but everyon's got to start somewhere.....
    Thanks
    Shane.
    Using LV 6.1 and 8.2.1 on W2k (SP4) and WXP (SP2)

    Am I correct in assuming that.....
    FieldPoint is a network-based distributed I/O architecture (Ethernet)?
    Yes, FieldPoint is a distributed I/O architecture. It can be ethernet, serial (RS-232 or RS-485), CAN, or FieldBus based.
    FieldBus is the communication protocol used to communicate with FieldPoint controllers?
    No. The serial controllers use the Optomux protocol. The ethernet controllers use a custom protocol developed by National Instruments. The Fieldbus and CAN controllers use FieldBus and CAN messaging protocols, respectively.
    I need "LV Realtime" to be able to use FieldPoint?
    No. You can use FieldPoint modules over a network without LabVIEW Real-Time. To embed programs within the [c]FP-2xxx series of RT controllers, you will need LabVIEW RT.
    The individual host-controllers can be accessed from anywhere on the ethernet network?
    For the ethernet based controllers, assuming you have not enabled security, you can access them from anywhere on the same subnet. If you are on a different subnet, you will need to know the IP Address in advance to acquire data from them.
    How does FieldPoint compare to a USB-based VXI or PXI solution. Aside from the USB/Ethernet differences which is clear to me. Which is easier to expand? Which is more flexible?
    Generally speaking, FieldPoint is slower, but has better isolation and is more rugged. Additionally, FieldPoint is better as a mix and match system, but does not have the breadth of offerings of VXI/PXI. Furthermore, FieldPoint as an I/O system and not a DAQ system, does not offer deterministic sampling, triggering, or synchronization.

    Logic's Time and Pitch machine, found within the sample edit window, will do this.
    Select the audio region, open the sample edit window, and under the factory sub-menu, you'll see "Time and Pitch Machine"
    When it opens, you have some options to play with, such as the algorithm, etc... FYI... 100 cents is equal to one half step.
    Many here (myself included) will tell you that you can probably get better results using third party software, but sometimes the Time and Pitch machine can come through very well, depending on the source material, of course
