HELP! There are so many softwares and I dont know the difference between them :(

I bought my mac less than one month ago and it says it has the software OS X (with a logo of an apple). Now can someone please tell me in detail whats the difference between Mavericks and all other confusing softwares?! I still dont have pages

They all are OS X.
OS X is the name of the operating system I've been using since 2001.
Each new version gets a new name and a higher number.
First version was 10.0 (Chettah) and it cost $129. 10.1 was free but 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5 cost the same.
10.6 (Snow Leopard) was the last version to ship in a DVD. It cost $29 as did 10.7 and 10.8 which were digital downloads.
10.9 (Mavericks) is a free download and is installed on all new machine purchases.
Apple has always included the iLife apps with each machine purchase. With the introduction of 10.9 the iWorks suite (Pages, Numbers and Keynote) are also included with a new machine purchase at no charge.
Look in the HD / Applications folder for your iWork and iLife apps. You shouldn't have to download anything but updates.

    Either will work fine in Central Asia as loge ad the carries support GSM (almost all do).
    One of the iPads will only work with the AT&T GSM) network if you are in the USA and the Other with the Virizon network (uses CDMA, not GSM/SIM) if you are in the USA

  • HT3696 How to know if your mac is using the latest Haswell architecture processor or not? and how to know the difference between the new imac and the 2012/13 imac?

    How to know if your mac is using the latest Haswell architecture processor or not? and how to know the difference between the new imac and the 2012/13 imac?

    Sorry to reopen an old post, but I've just purchased a 2nd hand late-2013 iMac (or so thats what the seller said).
    I'm always sceptical though, and just wanted to know if there is a way to check if my iMac is indeed the late-2013 model that included Haswell?
    I've attached screenshots of the About This Mac section hoping it may help shed some light.
    Thank you in advance for your help!
    PS - I can't compare to the iMac specs link you posted above because its now showing the late-2014 models.

    When we got our computer it all ready had 2 user names on it Administrator and Teacher and we dont know the passwords for them.

    Assuming you have been able to set yourself up as an Administrator so far, you can just go into Applications>System Preferences>Users & Groups and delete the other three accounts by highlighting them one at a time in the left hand column and clicking the "Minus" symbol at the bottom of the column.
    If you have NOT been able to set yourself up as an Administrator also so far, then the following article should help:

    In the Itunes Wishlist there is no price button that you can push to buy the items. So I cant buy my whole wishlist without doing it all seperatly and I dont know the total price of all the items. Please help!

    Both the button and the total cost appear to have been removed in the current version of iTunes - I don't have them either and other people have posted about it as well. You can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe they'll be added back in a future update : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • Since I upgraded to OS 10.6.8 from 10.5.x my 2x3GHz quad-core Intel Xeon desktop spontaneously turns off as if I pulled the plug. Mostly it happens when there is no open software and it's in the sleep mode, but it has happened while I'm working.

    Since I upgraded to OS 10.6.8 from 10.5.x my 2x3GHz quad-core Intel Xeon desktop spontaneously turns off as if I pulled the plug. Mostly it happens when there is no open software and it's in the sleep mode (because it spends more time like that), but it has happened while I'm working. It just suddenly quits.

    This is a suspicious sign of power supply failure. I would have that checked into. Others who have had similar problems have had the power supplies replaced which fixed the issue.

    Hi I have the old photo shop elements 10 on my computer and want to update and was wondering what the differences between photoshop, lightroom and photoshop elements are?
    Also when I upgrade does it have to be with a monthly membership or can I just purchase the product out right like you use to be able?

    You cannot "update" from what you have to any of the applications you mention. It will have to be a straight purchase or subscription at full price.
    Photoshop is a professional level application that makes no apologies for its very long and steep learning curve.
    Lightroom is all about volume, and very light editing.
    The Photoshop Elements forum is at:

  • I recently purchased songs from itunes via my pc and I dont know how to get them onto my iphone? When I click the sync button it says I will lose all the music currently on my iphone.. Help :(

    I recently purchased songs from itunes via my pc and I dont know how to get them onto my iphone? When I click the sync button it says I will lose all the music currently on my iphone.. Help

    If you're syncing with a different iTunes library than the one you previously synced with, then there is no way around it. You're gonna loose the old data. The only way round it would be to make sure that all the music files on your iPhone is also in your iTunes library. If you still have access to the computer with the old library, you could copy the files on to an external harddrive, and then import them into your new iTunes library.
    If it is in fact the same library, then the music currently on your iphone, is also in your itunes library. Just make sure that the artists/albums/playlists, or whatever you sync contains these tracks, that you allready have on your phone and don't want deleted. What i do is, i create a playlist specifically for my iPhone, and i set it up to only sync with this playlist. Whenever i hear a track from my iTunes library or buy a new track that i want on my phone, i just drag it to this playlist and next time i synchronize, it's there without deleting anything else.

  • I do video productions for a small local TV station. I use Final Cut Express to edit. I need a new video camera but am at a loss as to what to buy. I know I will get a digital camera but do not know the difference between just digital and digital HD.

    I do video productions for a small local TV station. I use Final Cut Express to edit. I need a new video camera but am at a loss as to what to buy. I know I will get a digital camera but do not know the difference between just digital and digital HD. Also, I can not afford an expensive camera and need some advice on which of the available cameras would be best and also work well with a Mac. One last issue, I currently use a Panasonic #CCD camera that takes a tape. When I load video to Final Cut the audio and video are out of sinc. Go figure. Can anyone help with these questions. Karen

    Hello Karen,
    If you are using Final Cut Express, then look for camcorders that are AVCHD camcorders.  Look especially for the AVCHD logo and specific mention of AVCHD in the specs.  Most of the major manufacturers produce good quality camdcorders - Canon, Sony, etc.
    Also, be aware that there are a lot of "not quite AVCHD" camcorders on the market (sometimes they say they record video as MPEG4-H.264/AVC) - buyer beware!
    Most everything you are going to find on the market today is HD, which stands for "high-def".
    Regarding your question about the Panasonic camcorder, it's best if you post that as a separate question, and please identify the specific model camcorder and the Easy Setup you are using in FCE.

  • I would like to know the difference between OEL and RHEL

    I would like to know the difference between OEL and RHEL, are they same?
    If I test any application on RHEL, will it work on OEL too.
    Thanks
    Edited by: user10685113 on 08-Aug-2012 05:35

    The name OEL as such is not used anymore, since the product was renamed from Oracle Enterprise Linux to Oracle Linux with the release of version 5.5 in September 2010.
    The main technical difference between Oracle Linux and RHEL is that Oracle Linux ships with an Oracle exclusive and optimized Oracle UEK kernel. It does however still install and provide the original and older RHEL kernel for fallback.
    As of Oracle Linux 5.6, the Oracle UEK kernel is the default kernel. The current latest version of Oracle Linux 6.3 uses the Oracle UEK2 kernel, which is based on the Linux 3 kernel (2.6.39).
    Oracle Linux is binary compatible with RHEL.
    Oracle Linux has several advantages over RHEL, in particular if you plan to use it to install Oracle products.
    • The same kernel UEK and UEK2 versions are available for Oracle Linux 5.x and 6.x
    You do not necessarily need to perform a complete and unsupported system upgrade to use a newer kernel version and drivers.
    • Oracle Pubilc YUM
    Oracle provides a public yum repository for installing software packages including the latest patches. RHEL does not and requires a paid subscription for online access.
    • Oracle specific drivers and software
    Oracle Linux provides additional software and kernel drivers, for Oracle clustering, Dtrace, BtrFS and ASM, which is not available for RHEL 6.
    Oracle Linux provides additional packages which trigger the automatic installation of system software prerequisites, including kernel parameters and oracle account setup to install Oracle Database:
    oracle-validated (Oracle Linux 5)
    oracle-rdbms-server-11gR2-preinstall (Oracle Linux 6)
    And last not least you have just one vendor and support requirement for Oracle products.
    Have you checked the Internet:
    http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/linux/index.html

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
