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:
http://guide.apple.com/
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.

    how do i access word for mac on my macbook air?

    Purchase it.  Here's one link to an Amazon site to buy one of the many Office configurations:

    You would receive Office on a CD, and need a disk drive for your MacBook Air to access so you could download the software.

  • Have loaded lion and now cant access office for mac or apple works as it says it does not support power pc applications, how can I acces them or better still reinstate them please

    Have loaded lion and now can't access office for mac or apple works as it says it does not support power pc applications, how can I acces them or better still reinstate them please?

    MS-Office for Mac versions 2004 and older do not run in Lion since these are PPC-apps for which Apple has dropped support.
    Free alternatives to open Word and Excel files:
    NeoOffice http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php
    OpenOffice http://www.openoffice.org/
    Or get the 2011 MS-Office

  • HDD Health: How to check it? HD Tune Pro equivalent for Mac?

    hi all, i was just wondering if there's a Mac equivalent for HD Tune Pro. it's a Windows app i use to check for errors on hard drives. i want to check if an externall 1TB HDD has any bad sectors on it before i use time machine to backup my work. i want something that'll check for any small error -- i don't want something that'll just do a basic scan.
    thank you

    but there's software that can do it on Windows so there must be something on the Mac.
    DiskUtility, DiskWarrior, TechTools, Genius, etc. etc. just do a google search. Most are paid apps except DiskUtility which is already built in and can be accessed from your reinstall partition. I personally don't bother with any except DiskUtility, but do keep a copy of DiskWarrior on hand just in case.
    Developers will convince you that you need all sorts of programs to check and repair most often manufactured disc ailments, but if you are one of those happy to pay, then that is your choice.

  • 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.

  • Just updated to osx, can't access quicken for Mac anymore

    I just uploaded OSX to my I-Mac. I like the upgrade but it does not support quicken for Mac 2007 and suddenly I cannot access it. I can purchase quicken essentials for Mac but need to know how I can access the old records and transfer them to the new program. The new upgrade will not open the old files. Do I need to remove the upgrade first?

    Quicken has an upgrade for Qicken that will run on a Mac. It is not Quicken Essentials, as far as I know.

  • Access Database for Mac-Replacement

    What is the application for mac that is the most similar to Microsoft Access? I used to use it in my PC days, and it was so much easier to use than free mac solutions I've tried such as NeoOffice Database. I was hoping to find an app in the <100 range, so FileMaker was not an option for me. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    FileMaker is so superior in every way to Access that Microsoft gave up updating Access for use with their Office suite for the Mac, but instead ensured that FileMaker works seemlessly with both Word and Excel. (being cross-platform, FileMaker also quickly became the database of choice on PCs.)
    But you don't absolutely need the latest (and therefore most expensive) version of Filemaker. Any version from FM6 upwards will work with Office, as well as on OSX. Older versions are readily available on eBay for a song.

  • 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 alternative for Mac? Filemaker and Bento no longer available?

    Hi,
    I need to create a database to track employee training, certifications, etc. Started working in Access but just realized that doesn't work on a Mac. I tried creating something in Excel but it is too much info to manage in a spreadsheet. I've looked into FileMaker and Bento but they no longer seem to be available. Any suggestions? I have Microsoft Office 2011 and I would need more than just read-only funtion in Access so Crossover/Parallels don't seem like a viable route.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Bento is gone, but FileMaker is still available. FileMaker 13 was just introduced in December.

  • Windows "Paint" equivalent for Mac?

    If you've ever used Windows, you have to know about the Paint program. It's pretty easy to use and can do pretty much any basic/simple things on it. What would be the equivalent of this on a Mac. I need to do some things that I used to do on Paint, but don't know what to use.

    There are numerous applications. Go to MacUpdate or CNET Downloads and search for "paint" or "draw."

  • S-Video equivalent for Mac

    What is the S-Video cable (equivalent to PC) that would run from my Mac to the TV?
    I would like to run movies on my Mac and watch them on my TV

    Hi Tyco 1
    To connect a TV that only has S-video and RCA (Composite) connections to a Mid 2007 iMac, you will need the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter > http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9319G/A and of course a long enough S-video cable to reach the TV.

  • Flash paper equivalent for Mac?

    I'm in a web page design class and we are working in CS3. We were learning about Flash in Dreamweaver and the instructor was explaining Flash Paper as a way to insert documents like articles into a web page.
    I've been working on a website to post my portfolio to get a job, again, someday. I've been worrying about copyright issues and the safety of my original work. The idea of posting images and examples of ads in a format that can't be copied is attractive to me.
    I checked into buying Flash paper only to find out it only works on PC's. I'm a Mac user, so does anyone know of a Mac-friendly equivalent?
    Thanks.

  • Paragon Partition Manager Equivalent for Mac???

    Being very new to Mac OSX I would like to know if there is a way of backing up the total contents of one partition to another or external drive? I have migrated from a Windows platform were Paragon Partition Manager was used to quickly restore a partition to an original state in around 10mins which was very useful if a problem arose and you needed a quick turn around. The backup of the partition was compressed as well keeping the size down a bit. Currently Paragon do not seem to have a Mac version of the Partition Manager but is there anything out there that will do the trick?
    Thanks...

    Hi again,
    when you create the back-up with CCC there is a choice to "Create bootable copy".
    When you're done, you should try it & start from that ext. HD macOS to see that it actually is a Bootable Mac OS.
    Then when you need it you'll start from the Install DVD, select a Disk Utilities from top pulldown menu (after the language choice) and you should be able to choose the 'Restore' button & you'll get a choice to choose the place you want to 'Restore' from and the target place where you want to restore it.
    After that you just make your tea and wait - shouldn't take more than 30 ~ 45 minutes...
