Is there a Mac version of TurboTax?

It does appear that your processor is too old to use the Mac-native version:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz
Your MacBook Pro 1,1 has only a Core Duo, not Core 2 Duo.
But you could use the online version ( in a Browser) if you do not mind operating that way. Some users have Privacy concerns and will simply NOT use online tools for this.
If you move to a more modern Mac, most stuff keeps on running. If you only changed processor to one that could run 10.6.8 in 64-bit mode, essentially NOTHING would change except that memory-intensive Applications would run faster.
Tools dependent on PowerPC native code are not supported after 10.6.8. The top six of these in my opinion are:
Microsoft Office 2004, including Word.
Eudora 6
FileMaker Pro 6
AppleWorks
Adobe Creative Suite 2, including PhotoShop
Quicken 2007** but a US$15 upgrade is available that seems to work fine with a few changes.

I currently own Elements 10 for PC and want to upgrade to Elements 12 for MAC. Is there a MAC version?

I currently own Elements 10 for PC and want to upgrade to Elements 12 for MAC. Is there a MAC version?

mommag
Yes there is a Premiere Elements 12 Mac.
Premiere Elements versions are standalone programs. So you would be purchasing a new program with its serial number.
Upgrade typically goes to a price break if you have a prior version of Premiere Elements and you purchase from Adobe Sales direct.
Years ago, a user could purchase at a local retailer and get "rebate from Adobe" based on having an earlier version. I have not seen that anymore (for years).
Remember Premiere Elements 10 Windows projects do not work in Premiere Elements Mac (any version) and the other way around also.
Also Premiere Elements Mac does not have all the attributes that Premiere Elements Windows has. One example, if you work with green screen, know that Premiere Elements Mac does not have the Green Screen Key, Blue Screen Key, or Chroma Key Effects.
Please let us know if we have targeted your question.
Thank you.

Is there a MAC version of "Paint" that comes with leopard?

So I made the switch over to Mac about a year ago. I am loving everything about it, Just one quick question. One thing that I miss about windows is the "paint" program. Do Macs come with anything similar to that? I have browsed through apps quite a few times trying to hunt something down, no luck. Please help if you know I must be missing something, or if you know no such app exists on mac. Thanks.

Mac version of LiveCycle Designer?

I'm sorry, I know this has been asked before but I can't find a straight answer.
Is there a Mac version of LiveCycle Designer?
Our office is upgrading to CS5 Design Premium. If we buy the Mac version, will we get LiveCycle Designer? (bundled with Acrobat 9 Pro?)
It seems the forum users say no, but two Adobe reps have told me yes. I don't know who to believe.
Thank you

Hi,
No joy!
When LS Designer is bundled with Acrobat, it ONLY comes with the Windows version.
As far as I know, LC Designer is not available for the Mac, as the background Enterprise Suite is a Windows solution.
I have CS5 Design Premium for Mac and it does not have LC Designer. I do have a standalone Acrobat 9 Pro Extended for Windows and it does have LC Designer bundled.
One last point: in future releases LC Designer will not be available as a standalone purchase. See http://forms.stefcameron.com/2010/01/14/purchase-designer-es2-upgrade/
Good luck,
Niall

5. yes!
And it is working great on my Mac.

I used Roboform on Windows and have tried the Mac version. Is there a comparable or at least an effective app in the AppStore?

The Mac version didn't seem to work as well as the Windows version but that may have been the result of transferring data from W to Mac. The sync function is useful. There are a lot of apps in the App Store are any of them as good as Roboform?
The passwords are in a Roboform data file in documents transferred from Windows but don't appear when I select the Roboform icon. I don't know how to transfer them within the Mac platform.

There is a version for Mac, from their web site...
•Mac Password Manager - RoboForm:
http://www.roboform.com/platforms/mac
home: http://roboform.com./
There also is an iOS version, see downloads.
Hopefully this is what you are asking about.
Good luck & happy computing!

Are these suggestions speficic to the Windows version of Firefox? Because on my Mac version (31.0) there is no "options" in the Tool menu

Are these suggestions speficic to the Windows version of Firefox? Because on my Mac version (31.0) there is no "options" in the Tool menu.
I'm trying to figure out why Firefox has no spellcheck. I suspect it needs dictionaries installed, but it's a bit of a mystery. I had to reste FF as it kept crashing after I updated to V31.0

Yes Options is for Windows.
On Mac you use "Firefox > Preferences" or the Preferences button in the "3-bar" Firefox menu button drop-down list.
You can see which dictionary is selected if you right-click in a text area and open the Languages submenu.
At least one dictionary should be installed and have a check mark to indicate that it is selected.
*Open the "Add Dictionaries" link to install a dictionary if you do not have one.
*Make sure that [X] "Check Spelling" in the right-click context menu is check-marked.
You can enable or disable spell checking globally:
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced : General: Browsing: "Check my spelling as I type"
You can look here for dictionaries:
*https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/language-tools/
Were you able to stop the crashes?

Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
If you have a PPC Mac you cannot sync your idevice without a newer computer. See the end of this post for options.
If it says you have an Intel Mac you can upgrade to Snow Leopard, but check system requirements first:
Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
You can buy Snow Leopard at:
Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After installing run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.
Jan. 2014 post by Kappy on doing all this: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24599931
Options if you cannot upgrade: iTunes Store purchases can already be downloaded directly. Use iTunes Match to put non-Store music in iCloud, then download to your device from there. Backup your device directly to iCloud over a wireless connection. Photos can be downloaded from the Camera Roll using iPhoto or Image Capture.

We use a plugin Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in Version 10.1.2 on a Mac to get the pdf to open in a browser window. Is there a later version or other method ?

We use a plugin Adobe Acrobat NPAPI Plug-in Version 10.1.2 on a Mac to get the pdf to open in Acrobat and the pdf display within the browser window, as within our Online artwork Approval system we use the Acrobat Annotations server to annotate pdfs and publish to the server
But we can no longer get this plugin to work! Is there a later version ? or is there another way of forcing the pdf to open in a Acrobat Reader application (not the Mac viewer) within the browser and not open another window to display the pdf in Acrobat?

The latest version is 11.0.6. Whether that's available to you depends on the version of Mac OS you're running.

Is there any possible way I can use the keyboard controls/shortcuts of Microsoft on the Mac version or PhotoShop?

I am very used to using a PC for Photoshop and just recently changed to Mac. I tried plugging in a different but the keyboard shortcuts arent like Windows version

shldr2thewheel wrote:
Since you have a mac, learn how to use Photoshop for Mac and stop thinking about Windows. Time to let go and learn how to use programs for Mac.
This is pretty horrible advice. 95% of Photoshop works the same on Mac and PC. Almost all of the keyboard shortcuts are identical except that Ctrl becomes Command and Alt becomes Option (same key anyway). The menus are all the same.
shldr2thewheel wrote:
Also, when using PS on a Mac, their is no option to enable "windows keyboard mode" in OS X. I know, I have used PS on a PC and currently use it on a Mac. You have no option but to learn how to use it on a Mac. If you are comfortable with Windows, purchase a copy of Windows and run it in Boot Camp or a virtual machine and purchase a copy of PS for windows. Then when in Windows, I believe you can use MS shortcuts.
This is also (mostly) incorrect advice.
If you look in the Keyboard system preference, and you click Keyboard Shortcuts, you will find a shortcut called "Move focus to the menu bar." Once this happens, you can type ahead to menus and commands, much like the alt menu shortcuts in Windows. If you wanted to open the Duplicate command, it would be Ctrl-F2 to activate the menu bar (edit that shortcut if you don't like it), then type I and Enter to drop the Image menu, then type D and Enter to open Duplicate. If there were two D commands, you would type ahead until the letters are different. You can use the spacebar instead of Enter, and Esc does the same as Windows. I just tried all this in CS5 and it works fine. The advantage over Windows is that you do not need to memorize the alt shortcuts, because it's based on the command name you want instead of an arbitrary letter in the middle of the name.
As jasdril said, you can simply edit the direct shortcuts too. But in most cases there should be no need to because as I said, most are the same anyway.
In short, there is plenty of keyboard-driven flexibility there for anyone willing to adapt just a little tiny bit.
The second advice that is not so good is recommending a Windows virtual machine. That'll slow down Photoshop, in addition to using up a lot of RAM and CPU that Photoshop really needs. The Mac version of Photoshop being native, would run at a proper speed.
The last possibly bad decision in this thread is TTro787 deciding to take the Mac back to the store, ignoring a quarter century of history of the Mac as a well-established graphic design and photo workstation. If you don't think the Mac is going to work well for Photoshop, it isn't going to be because of the Mac... the Mac is not just for Starbucks posers. Too many smart scientists (who want to use the Unix-based OS) and competent designers use Macs.
In short there is a whole lot of intolerance and assumed differences in this thread by both Mac and Windows zealots, which is too bad. Photoshop is mostly the same on Mac and Windows unless you're trying really hard to make it not work.

I have a web site built by Yahoo Web Site Builder which does not have a Mac version, is there any compatability between Iweb and the old Yahoo program?

I have a web site built by Yahoo Web Site Builder which does not have a Mac version, is there any compatability between Iweb and the old Yahoo program? If not how do I clear off the old site so as to re publish with Iweb.

iWeb cannot import published files so you would need rebuild the site.
Yahoo hosting is notoriously poor and their tech support is awful. I would suggest you look for new hosting and start afresh. Some pointers for choosing hosting...

If you do choose to go this route, transfer your domain name registration away from Yahoo to your new host.
