Can anyone recommend good design software for Mac?

Hi, I'm looking for some design software to use with my MacBook Pro. Not an expensive full professional CAD program but something simple. I design lamps and it's time to put this Mac to work.
Thanks
John

Cadintosh might make the cut:

  • Can anyone recommend a recovery software for my mac mail?

    I had to recreate a new email account and in doing so I guess my older (more than 7 days) emails have all been deleted. Has anyone used receovery software for the mac?

    Well, prevention is always better than cure - do you have any backup system? (And if not, I strongly recommend you set something up - Time Machine is automatic, frequent, and part of OS X; it only requires an external hard drive or Time Capsule).
    Second, most email services now have IMAP functionality, meaning that all mail can be stored on the server - this reduces the chance of losing email. So check with your mail provider if you can set up IMAP and what the server settings would be.
    As to your specific question, I personally have used Data Rescue successfully, but you do need to run it quickly after you lose data (the more you use the computer, the more the "deleted" filespace is written over, potentially losing files permanently). You can download a trial for free to see if your files can be recovered before you pay. You do need an additional drive to store recoveed files to.
    good luck!

  • Can anyone recommend a database host for Mac

  • Can anyone recommend a tracking software for my laptop? thank you.

    I have seen a number of programmes on stolen laptops and how the police use tracking software loaded onto a laptop to find stolen goods.  The problem I am having is getting a good product, not necessarily for free that is trusted and recommended.
    Anyone have any experience of using this software?  Thanks for any advice.

    Not a recommendation, I'm just aware of the software.  They have Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android clients

  • Can anyone recommend good clear skins for the iPod Nano 3G?

    Anyone know of any good skins for the iPod Nano 3G?
    Preferably clear skins!
    P.s. the skins that cover the wheel will that cause a problem with the response of the wheel? I have just adopted the Nano for the first time my previous ipod was the Shuffle!
    Thanks in advance!

    I like hard cases for my iPods and so the one I have to recommend is a clear plastic hard case made by Agent 18. I had one for my previous iPod and I never got a scratch on the actual iPod. They make awesome cases for iPods and have fast shipping (the new 3rd gen isn't available in stores yet). Plus you don't have to put a film on your screen, the case covers the screen in hard plastic so you don't ever have to worry about screen scratches- I think the films can still get scratched if you bang it up enough because they are thin. Go for Agent 18!

  • Can anyone recommend a laser printer for Mac OS 10.7.3?

    I recently bought a new iMac only to discover my old samsung printer is not compatible. Any suggestions on a new laser printer?

    And a third.
    I like this one: http://www.brother-usa.com/printer/ModelDetail.aspx?ProductID=HL2270DW#
    Street price is about $100.
    I have an earlier model, since discontinued. It's 100% reliable and about $1100 less than the last laser printer I bought.
    If you're in the market for a printer I strongly recommend a manufacturer that actively supports OS X, Lion in particular, and does not treat the Mac market as an afterthought. Wireless network capable is a must. Brother meets all those requirements.
    AirPrint would be nice but is not necessary - there are alternatives to AirPrint.
    What model Samsung printer do you have? There may be a way to make it work. Here are a couple potentially relevant posts:

  • Can anyone recommend a basic spreadsheet for Mac?

    I'm looking for a basic spreadsheet to use on my iMac, as similar to Excel as possible. Excel is the only one I've ever used, but it's on my work PC - I need a spreadsheet for home use on my Mac. What I'd like to do is find one in the App Store, either free or fairly cheap. There are so many choices on there I don't even know where to begin. I need something very basic, similar to Excel with columns and rows and such.
    I apologize if I'm asking this question in the wrong category - I've been finding it hard to get used to the new Apple forums.
    Thank you in advance,
    Sunny

    NeoOffice was a OS X adaptation of OpenOffice because there wasn't a OS X version when the "Mac" came back from the dead basically.
    Sun which owned OpenOffice, was bought by Oracle, which all the developers left finding out Oracle wasn't going to support OpenOffice anymore.
    The developers of OpenOffice went and formed LibreOffice, which got some serious cash donations and now is the new fork of OpenOffice.
    So if you have files in NeoOffice, OpenOffice or Microsoft Office, they will work just fine in LibreOffice.
    LibreOffice is getitng all the attention now that's it's truly "free" and many more developers worldwide are looking at the code and contributing to it.
    So LibreOffice is what you need. It's also cross platform, Linux, OS X or Windows. AND free. (but you should contribute funds)

  • Can anyone recommend good bluetooth earphones to listen to radio apps on the iPad?

    Can anyone recommend good bluetooth earphones for listening to radio apps on the iPad?

    While not many systems come in wood grain, I'd go for a 2.1 system instead of 2.0 if your looking for better sound and bass.
    I really like my 2.1 Systems | Creative Inspires, but also check out Logitech or perhap even Klipsch and Bose if your budget allows for those.

  • Please recommend personal finance software for Mac that allows month to month analysis of spending by categories.  Quicken on a PC was good at this.  Mint seems very limited.

    Please recommend personal finance software for Mac that allows month to month analysis of spending by categories.  Quicken on a PC was good at this.  Mint seems very limited.

    Quicken for Mac 2007 works just fine (and is said to be compatible with Mavericks).  It is often denounced for not being "modern", but when something works, and does everything I want, I need a good reason to switch. 
    A few years ago (2011), I got that reason when I upgraded OSX and Quicken stopped working due to the absence of Rosetta.  I switched to iBank.  I used it for more than a year.  It was cumbersome, they have no sense of a helpful user interface, but it "works".  I found ONE feature that I liked:  you can attach an image (or any file) to a register entry, so I can save receipts right with the register.
    But when Intuit came out with the revised Quicken 2007 for Mountain Lion, I gladly went back.  I found that being able to update stock prices right in the portfolio view (for those not automatically found online) was handy - in iBank you have to generate a report to see the holdings, and then you have to switch to a view of "Securities" then scroll down through that list to find your stock, then "edit" then change the price, then "Save" then go back to reports and re-generate the portfolio view.  Also, if you enter a stock purchase in a Quicken register, the price you paid gets added to the price history for the stock (as of the date of the transaction).  No such help in iBank.  Most of the helpful UI features (like increasing the date with the + key) are glaringly missing in iBank.  I find I am getting no more than about 3-4 keystrokes before having to move the mouse and click.
    If you are considering sharing the app on an iPad, Quicken won't work, but I found that iBank for iPad doesn't work either.  The interface is completely different from the Mac version, you can't do much with it, and if you have a stock whose price is $11.25 / share and sell 200 shares, you might find that $22.50 gets added to your cash in the account.  (I actually made a few million dollars when it decided that 200 shares at $11.25  yielded $2,250,000.)  Luckly, I received a refund for that app.
    Depending on how the Mavericks switch goes, I hope to be able to stick with Quicken, but I am keeping my records up-to-date in both now, because I can live with iBank.  I will just have to keep an eye on its arithmetic.

  • Can anyone recommend online flatplan software

    can anyone recommend online flatplan software where several users can update and view the flatplan online and place pdfs of finished pages please?

    Unlike MacGunt, I have used Bento and love it. With the little bit of work I did at IBM using M$ Access, I found Bento to be head and shoulders above it. Access always seemed kludgy to me at best whereas Bento is an honest to goodness database manager.
    Seeing as how I retired now I don't have any business usage for it but I do it find it very useful for the club work I need to do.
    Two features I like are the templates which cover a broad range of database usage. I would think that one of those would be able to help you get started with your business needs. The other is the app which allows me to have the Bento database on my iPhone.

    Pair a wireless KB with the laptop and all should be well when you attach the laptop to the iMac and invoke TDM. But as Denny mentions, it does seem like the waste of a good iMac to use it in just this configuration. Why is the laptop primary?

  • Is it Possible in JSF? Can anyone recommend any java Technology for this?

    I am doing Post Graduate Degree in Computer Science. This is my final semester and doing project work.
    Any body having idea about my requirment, help and guide to me
    My description and questions are as follows:
    Current Approach:
    PHP has been used to achieve the flexibility of creating custom images on-the-fly. Using this approach we were able to create a web-interface similar to the application client, where we could display links and get the exact look and feel of the application client.
    Drawback:
    This approach forces us to use two different technologies Java and PHP, since our system uses 'Java' accessing all the API's from PHP becomes a problem. while PHP provides a way to invoke any java method. It comes with a draw back, the method calls are little slow. This delay's are loading of web-page.
    Requirment:
    1. Creating custom images on various locations of the screen
    2. The Exact look and feel of the application map should be achieved
    3. Place elements and links correctly as in application-client reflect any changes
    4. Generation events on the Links and Elements
    5. Setting Backgroud images for different maps
    Questions:
    1. is it possible in JavaServer Faces (BETA)?
    2. If it is possible is JavaServer Faces(BETA) How to create custom images and create interfaces among them?
    3.Can anyone recommend any java Technology for doing this?
    Anybody having idea, help and guide me for doing my project

    hi,
    I think you can use JSF
    cheers

  • Can anyone recommend a quality microphone for recording instruments?

    Hey,
    I'm a Garageband and digital audio newbie. I understand you can connect a microphone to record in, instead of using the built-in mic. Can anyone recommend a couple different good quality mics? I want to record an acoustic guitar. Or maybe a web link that discusses how to do this?
    Also, in the Garageband Help it describes as an alternative using an audio interface between the mic and the computer. Can anyone recommend something for this? Again, maybe an online article that discusses this in more detail?
    I can't really find any specific information to help with this other than the vague sales and Help material.

    My personal fav's for the sound quality and price point are the Apex 415 and Apex 460. Both are condenser mic's so then need phantom power, but the 460 comes with a phantom powered preamp so you should be good to go assuming you have an appropriate interface to your mac. Price on them is ~$160CDN for the 415 and ~$260CDN for the 460. The sound quality on these is stunning - rich, warm, and exceptionally detailed, especially compared to the shure SM57's. I will agree though that the SM57 is a terrific all-purpose mic (the design hasn't changed in 20 years, it's hard to argue the accepted capability of these mic's!), but I've found that it just hasn't been able to do justice to the rich sound of my Mesa/Boogie MarkIV. Last night I was practicing with my band and was testing out an Apex 415 in place of the SM57 I usually use to mic my guitar cabinet, and when I played the sound back, I commented to the drummer that it sounded really good. He was looking directly at me, listened, and after a second realized that I wasn't actually playing my guitar and was instead playing back the recording. The expression on his face was priceless..."holy $hit that sounds good, I thought you were actually playing!".
