Is the macbook compatible with PC's programs and documents and etc?

I am switching from a PC to a macbook very soon, and my mom is worried that I will have this macbook and if I'm in a project or something with someone who has a PC, and i need something to be switched from my computer to theirs, or vice versa, that it won't work.

yeah MS Office for mac is compatible with all word, powerpoint and excel files. As for programs no they're not, but Im sure you could find the same program or a look a like for the mac. If you could be more specific with your "programs" and "documents" that would be awesome.

  • Is the Macbook compatible with a Dell DJ MP3 Player?

    I have a Dell DJ MP3 player. I just bought a Macbook last week. Can I donwload songs from iTunes to my Mac and transfer them to my Dell MP3 player? Or will I be forced to by an iPod? Does iTunes rip music from CDs? I cant seem to find that feature if it does.

    iTunes will not directly link to a Dell MP3 player. Whether or not you can even get the Dell to work with a Mac is iffy, but perhaps someone else will know a workaround.
    As to your question about iTunes ripping from CDs, yes, certainly it does. You might find the iTunes tutorials helpful in learning what iTunes can do and how to do it.
    Regards.

  • How does Autodesk Maya run on the MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

    Hello there,
    I'm interested in using the MacBook Pro with Retina Display for Autdesk Maya and wanted find out what people's experiences with that are. It'd be great if anyone can help share their experiences!
    Thanks!

    One thing I do know, is the the UI is very small and menu items/buttons are hard to see. Someone posted a video of a now removed autodesk forum response on how to adjust font sizes .cfg file style, but I tried and it did nothing to the small text in Maya 2014. If you plan on it and don't have button and menu locations memorized by feel, I wouldn't use this software on a macbook pro without an external display, or change the resolution out of retina to use Maya.

  • Is the Macbook Pro with retina display compatible with the share disk utility?

    Hi,
    I was wondering whether, since the macbook pro with retina display has no cd rom drive, whether the MBP is compatible with the share disk utility like the mackbook air
    VKB

    there should be no reason why it wouldn't be, as that's a feature of the OS, not the hardware.

  • Looking for a for an all-in-one printer that is compatible with greeting card programs..​.

    looking for a for an all-in-one printer that is compatible with greeting card programs...my original one was an HP PSC  1510...replaced it with a Deskjet 1050 & it does not work...any suggestions?

    I bought an epson xp650 a couple of months ago and cannot fault it. It does everything I require and it is the wifi model so I can print directly from my ipad/iphone. Not sure if you are asking about the colour of the unit or just to be able to print black and white, Obviously all printers will print black and white but just to give you a little more info the printer I bought is the white version and it looks really nice sat next to my imac 27''
    Hope this helps.

  • How does the Apple Headphones with Remote Replacement Program non-return fee work?

    I have a pair of Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic that I purchased a year ago. According to the "Apple Headphones with Remote Replacement Program", http://www.apple.com/support/headphones/replacementprogram/, these headphones are also covered in the program. Currently, there are some issues with my headphone's remote, as it is extremely unresponsive. I don't know how Apple determines the headphone's purchase date, but their online service request page accepts my iPhone's serial number. Is there any way that i could ensure that Apple's willing to replace the headphones for free (E.g. mailing my current ones in first) because the non-return fee is basically its retail price. I do not live in the US so I can't go and exchange at an Apple Retail Store. Thanks in advance.

    I would just bring them into your local Apple Store/Genius Bar and ask.

  • Using the MacBook Pro with external Monitor and Keyboard

    This may be a dumb question, but here it goes anyway:
    Can I use the MacBook Pro with an external monitor and a bluetooth keyboard and mouse without having it opened all of the time ?
    I am planning to buy a MacBook for my wife and most of the time she will be using it at her home office.
    I don't want her to use the computer opened all of the time when she is actually looking at the separate screen and using a separate keyboard. Having the laptop opened will only accumulate dust and reduce the lifetime of the built in screen.
    What I would actually need is a kind of "docking station", but Apple doesn't make that - I know.
    So can the MacBook at least be operated without the internal screen powered on while it is closed?
    Thanks for your help

  • I want to know if the Macbook Pro with the ash key board and as the cd rom infront is more recent than the one with the black key board and as the cd rom on the side.

    I want to know if the Macbook Pro with the ash key board and as the cd rom infront is more recent than the one with the black key board and as the cd rom on the side.

    Hi Tracy,
    I'm guessing "ash" is the silver colored keyboard, the same color as the rest of the MBP? If so, that machine, with the optical drive slot on the front, is the older machine.

    Hello Im JS.Is the update compatible with 3rd Generation Ipod Touch. Thank You have a nice day.

    What update?
    iOS 5 is compatible with a 3G (as well as 4G) iPod. However, if you are stuck with 4.2.1 that indicates that you really have a 2G iPod. those can only go to 4.1.2. See:
    Identifying iPod models
    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.
