How tedious is it to convert from windows to mac?

My windows (sony vaio running XP) is dying. Got the dreaded 3 beeps on start up today...so will be shopping for a new desktop soon.
I have an ipad and iphone that I've owned for about a year now...and I must say I REALLY like them. Have been contemplating going all mac....but EVERYTHING i do on my desktop is obviously windows based. My biggies are quicken....i have files that go back 10 years and all my excel docs. Has anyone recently made the jump from windows to mac...how hard is it really to convert everything over?

Millions have done what you are contemplating, most don't have any issues at all. I f you haven't already go to your local Apple Store and ask your questions and you will get honest replies, I did when I made the switch 7 years ago. I converted from Quicken to iBank which imported my Quicken data extremely easily. As for MS Office, simply get MS Office for Mac and you're set. It's compatible with the Windows version and opening files is the same across platforms.
I would also STRONGLY recommend you look at this Apple Mac Basics article:
http://www.apple.com/support/macbasics/pctomac/
Also when you get a Mac and turn it on for the first time, one the steps it has is asking if you are migrating from a PC to the Mac. Simply choose yes and follow the on-screen prompts and you're set. You can also Google Migration Assistant for Windows for more detailed info if you want.

Should I go convert from WinXP to Mac Leopard ?

I have not used Mac Leopard before and not sure if it is easy to use ? I have tried watching the video but the video is only showing off some amazing features of Leopard but I am still not sure on the filesystem etc. I am used to Unix command as compare to DOS command and am not sure whether it has a command prompt program (for running unix) just like what WinXP does ? Thanks.

I wanted to escape from Microsoft for years before I finally bought a MacBook Pro about 1 1/2 years ago. Though I loved it in general, I was shocked to discover that I had to mess around with all that command line/terminal stuff in order to set up PHP and MySQL (which I never completely resolved). I thought the whole point of using a Mac was user friendliness. I actually found PHP and MySQL easier to set up and tweak on my PC than on my Mac.
Still, I think Mac is better than Microsoft (even XP) overall, even after going through a nightmare install of Leopard. Now that Leopard's up and running, my computer seems to be operating better than ever, apparently with even fewer bugs than I had when I was running Tiger.
I'm thinking of purchasing a program called MAMP PRO, which automatically installs and configures Apache, PHP and MySQL. However, if you're familiar with Unix, then all this stuff is probably easy for you.

Converting from PC to MAC

Hi:
I currently operate on a PC and use Adobe Photoshop CS4. I understand that if I move to a MAC I would have to use Adobe Elements 8.
Will I be able to easily move all my files over from the PC to the MAC despite the assumed difference in the programs? Any help is greatly appreciated.

First, why do you think you must use Elements because you are changing to a Mac? There is a PsCS4 for Mac and I'm not aware of any major differences between it and the Windows version. So I guess my question is, why Elements? While you may consider going from PC to Mac an upgrade, going from PsCS4 to Elements is certainly a step the other way. Just my opinion.

Switch from Microsoft to Mac

I just recently switched laptops from Windows to Mac. I downloaded the desktop software for Mac and tried to sync my Bold. It worked for the most part except I lost everything in my memos, tasks, password keeper, and a couple other small things. It did work in syncing my contacts and calendar. I looked into the backup options but I couldn't find what to backup to. I'm not very good with these things so I don't know if the answer is right in front of me or if there is some problem.

How do you retain links within a page when converting from Microsoft word from a Mac?

Keeping Microsoft Word page links within a document or converting the filed map into bookmarks are not options when you work on a Mac. I subscribe to the Adobe Acrobat Plus service specifically to address that issue. But I can't find any documentation on this site that will walk one through the process. Can someone please direct me to a tutorial page that will allow me to keep my links and convert my bookmarks?

Have you tried using Safari's built-in method to email the content of a web page?
File > Mail Contents of This Page
(Keboard shortcut: Command-I)
If you don't want to email the entire page's content, you can easily edit it in the resulting email window, deleting the portions that you don't want.

Converting from Tape to Mac

I want to edit some tapes from my Sony Handycam DCR-IP7E in iMovie but it cannot detect the camera. Is there any way that I can get the files onto the Mac so I can edit in iMovie?

I have the correct cable it just does not recognise the camera.
As Daniel pointed out: Your camera is NOT compatible with iMovie. Take it back or sell it.
Is there another way to import the tapes?
Sort of. There are two methods:
A: Using a sample application from Apple's Firewire SDK, you can get the MPEG-2 files off the camera and onto the hard drive. Then you can use MPEG Streamclip with Apple's MPEG-2 QT playback plug-in to convert to DV, which you can import to iMovie.
B: Have your camera act as an analog VHS VCR:

Converting from Microsoft Word to Pages and removing formatting

I have a huge document in Word that needs serious text editing. I need to remove the formatting and do a simple text edit in Pages. I am relatively new to mac and am on a steep learning curve after 15 years in Microsoft Word and before that Corel! I think I am complicating the issue unnecessarily - I hope someone can give me some simple guidance.

Probably the fastest and surest way is to open the Word file in TextEdit:
Menu > Format > Make Plain Text > Save > Unicode UTF (.txt)
Then Copy and Paste that into Pages or:
Menu > Insert > Choose… > browse to .txt file

Converting from Windows to MAC

So I am moving everthing from my windows environment to my new MAC environment.....
I was using a windows home server to to house all my music files, the PC with iTunes had a mapped drive to the folder with the music files.
on the advice from the genuis at my local apple store I copied all the music files to a USB hard drive, then connected the USB drive to the MAC and copied all the files into the music folder on my MAC
When open iTunes it does not show the files or folders and I can't find the "import" command on the new iTunes. If I search for a song or artist it does find it and I can manually add it to the library from the search box. I am not intersted in clicking on 3500 songs to manually add them all.
Thoughts, advice, comments?
Every thing I have used so far with Apple just works and I love that, so I know there is a way to do this without driving back down to the genius bar and asking them.
Thanks in advance

This article may help.

The genius guy was almost right but you need to select the folder above to copy ie the iTunes folder
There are some other preparatory steps in there to.

Sound VI convert from PC to Mac

I don't really understand the help files for using a PC and creating a Mac complatible VI that will play sound files. I am a new to Labview 8.6 and I have created a VI to play sound files on a PC. Now I need it to work on a Mac and I'm having trouble figuring out how to do that. Could someone go into detail on how to do this?

I have not tried this in recent versions of LV, but in the past I usually had to change parameters like the sampling rate and stereo/mono, 8-bit/16-bit, ... The default values tend to be different but the VIs themselves work on both platforms. You can determine programmatically which OS you are using by a property node (I do not recall the property name at the moment) and use that to select a case with the appropriate values for the sound parameters.

Why do Certain fonts change when I convert to PDF from Microsoft word? They start out 60s chic and end up as a standard font.

Why do some fonts change when converted from Microsoft word to PDF? It starts out as 60s chic and changes to standard font.

Related to the question, I suspect you have licensed fonts that cannot be embedded. Thus, the PDF is using what it is finding to be an equivalent as well as it can guess. Did you check the font list in the PDF?
