HT2476 what is the best free publishing software please?

What is the best basic home publishing software please? Is there free software available?

Instead of leaving you hanging without an actual answer, try here:
http://www.macupdate.com/find/mac/desktop%20publishing
I put desktop publishing into the search box. Some of the links only have "desktop" or "publishing" as a match, so really have nothing to do with what you want. Trying to put the phrase in quotes actually resulted in matches that weren't even close.
Anyway, Scribus in in that list. I've heard of it, it's free and a lot of users seem to like it. The only other free one is Cenon.
Shareware ones you could try are Desktop Publisher Pro and Page Layout Designer. That's also a few marked commercial or demo, which are iStudio Publisher, iCalamus and Swift Publisher.
Just to note, I haven't tried any of these as I use InDesign. But it's a place to start.

What is the best free invoice software for Mac?

I'm curious what is the best software for creating invoices on a Mac that is free?
Thankyou

http://www.neooffice.org/ as a stand alone software spreadsheet.
http://www.editgrid.com/ as a web based spreadsheet.
Both are free, and both give you as much customization as you need to create invoices and have automatic calculation that is never "assumed" by the software and only directed by you how it should proceed.

What is the best desktop publishing software for a Mac

I recently published my first MAC. On my PC, I used Publisher to create brochures. What is the best software on a MAC for creating brochures and flyers?

CS2 was a terrible experience and that was 5-6 yrs ago and of course totally depended on Rosetta, on plugiin problems, and is not supported with 10.6.8 and won't run under Lion.

What is the best web publishing software?

I know this probably isnt the place to post this, but i figured a lot of other business owners my have mbp's. I will probably have my new 15" c2d by the end of this week, or the start of next. I want to start using it immediately to build a good website for my business. I have no idea where to start when it comes to mac software, so any info would be helpful. Oh yeah, iweb isn't an option for me, since i dont want a .mac account. Thanks!

I've found the following:
- Dreamweaver is for hard-core web development, can do everything but is not necessarily "newbie" friendly, there is a learning curve, and it helps if you've had some web experience. It is the program you will eventually get if you get in to website development in any serious way.
- iWeb is the other end of the spectrum, need no experience, it's all drag and drop and like using a word processor. You are limited to a set number of things you can do with the webpages you create, but the program does those few things gracefully as only Apple can. You may get frustrated with its limitations over time. As far as I know, you need a .Mac account to make use of it, I think you "could" save the web pages it creates and upload elsewhere, but I don't think it's easy at the moment.
- In between the above two is Rapidweaver. It is nowhere near as powerful as Dreamweaver but lets you do a lot more editing and "messing around" with your webpages than iWeb does. You can also upload Rapidweaver creations to either .Mac or your own web host. The thing I like most about Rapidweaver is the stunningly beautiful templates it comes with.
OK, that's my experience, hope it is helpful.

What is the best free software to create an advert on?

I am looking to create a couple of adverts both poster and video, i was wondering what is the best free software to make these on?

For laying out the poster ad
Free, open source apps.
GImp (free, open source Photoshop replacement)
http://www.gimp.org/downloads/
PIxelmator (cheap near Photoshop-like replacement)
http://www.pixelmator.com/
Free Vector drawing app.
Inkscape
http://www.inkscape.org/en/download/mac-os/
Drawberry
http://raphaelbost.free.fr/DrawBerry.html
Free Page Layout app, if needed.
If this is already on your Mac.
Apple Pages app.
OR Free, open source
Scribus OS X
http://www.scribus.net/canvas/Scribus
There aren't very many free video editors for Mac OS X.
If this is already on your Mac,
iMovie
KDenlive
http://kdenlive.org/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive
LIghtworks OS X
http://www.lwks.com/
A few caveats about Lightworks video editor.
OS X version is free to download and use as a public beta testing.
This is a very comprehensive video editor, but for free use, you have to register as a public beta tester and every week you use this you have to re-register the app and answer a survey of questions about the software.
If you do not comply with the beta testing rules and procedures, and the developer believes you are not actively invovled with the beta testing to help develope and improve this app, the developer has the right to discontinue your free use of the software and you will no longer be able to use or activate the software.
I really wanted to try this software for free, but didn't want to have to be tied to the beta testing rules, constant developement surveys, questions and weekly re-registering as a beta tester for the use of this software.

I take it you are looking for replacements for the apps you used on a previous Mac?
I do not have Photoshop Elements, so I do not know about compatibility. But this site will tell you:
http://roaringapps.com
Photoshop CS3 does run in OS 10.9.1. (I use it just about everyday.) You do not have to give it up.
And there is Gimp, which is free and powerful.

What is the best virus/spyware software for OSX 10.6.8?

What is the best virus/spyware software for OSX 10.6.8 on an iMac?

Csound1's answer albeit short is correct. Because there are no viruses (as in zero, none, nada, zip) for OS X having antivirus software is a waste of time, resources and possibly money. About the only need for antivirus software is if you frequently download files you know nothing about and then forward them to Windows users. In that case even though you still don't need anything for OS X you are protecting the Windows users from your passing along infected files. Most anti-virus software for OS X tend to create more problems than they solve however if you insist I'd recommend ClamXav which is free, non-intrusive and is frequently updated.

What is the best Business tax software to use on MACs

What is the best Business tax software to use on MACs?

Get rid of Norton a/k/a Symantec. It is one of the worst pieces of trash you can install on a Mac.
You do not need any additional anti-virus software than is already designed into OS X to protect your Mac against malware. I assume you paid enough for your iMac and that's part of what you paid.
If you use Windows, or are concerned about harboring viruses that target Windows, or care about friends who use Windows, then get ClamXav. It's in the App Store and it is free.
Since friends don't let friends use Windows, I have no use for it.

Depending on the file formats, you may not have to do any conversion.
The following shows what the native Quicktime Player Supports:

and Quicktime Player is pretty much the core for all Apple app
playback.
And if that doesn't cover it, there are other players, many of
which are free, that may cover what you need (WINAMP, VLC,
Songbird etc.).
