Equivalent of Visio for Mac?

Hello
does someone knows a software that allows to work Visio files on a mac?
this is the very last hurdle I have to pass to move eventually from PC to Mac in the office.
Any help is welcome.

In the future, you should really post OS X Related questions in the OS X forums, as this forum is for troubleshooting Apple Software Update for Windows, a software package for Windows designed to update Apple products that run on Windows, and not related to Visio or any other Microsoft products.

Re: Online Backup Services for Mac?

pc users have online backup services such as carbonite to choose from. Is there an equivalent backup service for Macs?
My pc friend says he pays $50/year for his online service which makes more sense than having an external drive next to your computer. Good when your hard drive craps out, yes, but not so good if both get damaged due to fire, water, etc. or disappear due to theft.

There are a few, but I have only been experimenting with .Mac so far (which mostly for the other features). You can do a search for : online backup for mac : and several show up. I have heard good things from others about Mozy. Note the file transfer for any online service will be limited by your network bandwidth and availability.
Others may have specific recommendations.

Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11? Or something equivalent? Help Please!

Hello All,
Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11? Or something equivalent?
I recently switched from a palm treo to blackberry but didn't anticipate syncing issues with my mac until now. The current BB desktop software seems only compatible with MAC OS 10.5, so I'm in a difficult position.
Please any suggestions are deeply welcomed!!
Thank you.

Excel equivalent for Mac OS/X?

Hey everyone,
Is there a similar database program for Mac like Microsh*t Excel?
If anyone can point me in the right direction, they'll have this question "solved"!
Best,

Excel is a spreadsheet, and exists in a Mac version (in fact, the Mac version predates the Windows version). Do you instead mean Microsoft Access?
If so, there's no direct equivalent, but there are a number of Mac databases, including Filemaker Pro (probably the most popular), OpenBase, MySQL, FrontBase and others. Or you can run Windows through Boot Camp or Parallels Workstation and run Access.

Which version of MS Office for a PC is MS Office for MAC 2011 equivalent to?

Which version of MS Office for a PC is MS Office for MAC 2011 equivalent to?

MS Office 2010 is the nearest equivalent to the current version for Mac. There are cosmetic differences due to some fundamental differences in Windows and Mac interfaces, but otherwise they are functionally very similar while still retaining Microsoft's common habit of maintaining slightly different feature sets between the two platforms.

GarageBand equivalent for Mac OS X 10.0?

As far as I can tell, GarageBand was not available for Mac OS X v.10.0.3. Is there any equivalent, or similar software for creating and mixing music available that will run on such an old version of OS X?

The oldest version (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL581) I could find is Garageband 1.1,
System Requirements
Mac OS X 10.2.6 or later
Mac OS X 10.2.8 or greater recommended
It looks like you never updated to a newer version of MacOS X. With MacOS X 10.2 you should still be able to run any old MacOS 9 applications in the Classic environment, if you want to save your older drivers and applications.

MS Access equivalent for Mac

Hi there,
Does anyone know if there is a decent MS Access equivalent for Mac ... and please do not say FileMaker as it has a different interface and table management logic that I do not really understand (Is it good enough to make it worth trying to learn?)
If there is something that works like access (queries, multiple tables, relationships etc.) I would be very happy to take a look at it.
Cheers

Hi,
start from here:

and search Software>Productivity and Utilities>Database and similar items
But remember: Filemaker IS the database for Mac and it is FAR better than Access.

You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

Photoshop elements 4.0 for macs

i heard that elements 4.0 for macs is the same as 5.0 for pc - does anyone know if thats the case??
thanks...

No, not at all. They are both the most current versions for their respective platoforms, but PE 4 for mac is equivalent to (not by any means the same as) PE 4 for windows. PE 5 introduces smart sharpening, black and white conversion, curves, lens correction, new photo layouts in the editor, etc., none of which are in PE 4 for either platform.

How do I hide and unhide photos in Photos for Mac

How do I hide and unhide photos in Photos for Mac ? Also, how do I delete an Album ? It appears that Photos is a work in progress that is only about 10% done. The Help in Photos is essentially useless. Where can I find the equivalent of a manual or instruction book?

How do I hide and unhide photos in Photos for Mac ?
You can hide photos in the Photos view, but not in the albums:
Select some photos, ctrl-click, select "Hide". Unhide from the Hidden Album.
Also, how do I delete an Album
You can only delete albums that you created, not the built-in albums.
Select the album in the Sidebar. Ctrl-click it. Select "Delete Album".

To learn how to defend yourself from the threat of adware read How to install adware.
There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up", "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
"Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver movies or other copyrighted content "for free".
The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.

Windows and Office for Mac in a MacBook Air?

I am planning to buy a new notebook, but I am having trouble deciding between the Macbook Air with 256 GB or 500GB and the MacBook Pro 13''. I am tired of carrying my heavy MacBook Pro 15'' so I want a real shift in portability and I will be running Mail, Safari, Calendar, Contacts, Office for Mac and Windows in Parallels for Explorer, Visio and Project. The issue is that with less money I can buy a MacBook Pro with 750GB but it is heavier and the HD is not solid state. And I am not sure that if I go for the Macbook Air with 256 GB (which is affordable) I will be able to run everything I need.
Someone that may help me decide?

Applications do not take up that much space. Here is a partial list of apps on one of my computers:
And there is more. This Applications folder is about 20gB. There are other files that come with these programs, but they take up much less space.
In sum then, you will be fine with 250 gB, of which you will take away say 30 gB for Parallels and its contents.

Conflict with Kaspersky Internet Security 2014 for MAC

I installed Kaspersky Internet Security 2014 for MAC.
Its Web anti-virus function does not work well. After enable for a while, it blocks all internet connection.
I tried many ways, included
- putting Safari, Itune, ...into KIS's Trust Zone application
- set Pravacy for KIS control OS X
but it seems no effect.
Is there someone getting the same issue with me?
Any solution?
Thanks.

Despite repeated attempts I was unable to install Kaspersky's latest software on a new copy of Mavericks shortly after its release.
Its installer failed:
Kaspersky's product may have been updated in the last couple of weeks, but given that developers have had many months to prepare for Mavericks, it calls their competence into question. It's your Mac, install what you want, but the number of problems reported on this site that are directly attributable to using such junk exceed those caused by actual malware by orders of magnitude.
Protect yourself by observing these few basic principles, not by delegating that responsibility to Kaspersky or anything like it:
Never install any product that claims to "speed up", "clean up", "optimize", or "accelerate" your Mac. Without exception, they will do the opposite.
Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources. Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.

Disable Java in Safari > Preferences > Security.
Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
Block browser popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > and check "Block popup windows":
Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but popups have devolved to become a common means to deliver targeted advertising that you probably do not want.
Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
If you ever see a popup indicating it detected registry errors, that your Mac is infected with some ick, or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. To date, most of these attempts have been pathetic and are easily recognized, but that is likely to change in the future as criminals become more clever.
