My new imac is on the way. MS Money not available for Mac? Options?

Thanks to all who have given this PC user advice as I move over to a MAC at home.
I have ordered a 24 inch Imac that is on the way soon.
I have used MS Money. Looking around the internet it looks like this program is unavailable for a MAC. I've read that Quicken is available but read mostly negative reviews.
Any thoughts about Quicken?
I've thought about buying the software to do a parallel boot to Windows so I can use some of my software, including Money. Is that the best option?
Running windows on a mac, will I run into all the crappy problems with Windows that are causing me to leave them (like virus/spyware problems, constantly having to re-boot if more than a few tasks are going on, lock ups, etc.)?
Thanks.

You can run windows on a new iMac either directly by installing it with Boot Camp or in a virtual machine inside of OS X with Parallels. Parallels has a tool that will allow you to migrate an existing Windows installation from a PC into a Parallels virtual machine on a Mac.
In answer to your other question, Windows will still be Windows, so it's just as crappy running on an Intel Mac as it is on an ordinary PC. I have Windows Vista installed on mine and it has all of the annoyances of Windows XP plus some new ones. If I didn't need Windows apps I wouldn't use it.

Why is the IOS 8 update not available for the Iphone 4?

Why is the IOS 8 update not available for the Iphone 4? Will it ever be available? I cannont afford a new Iphone at this time so why am i being penalized for not having a new Iphone. Very upset

Well of course they would, but that's not why iPhone 4 can't have iOS8. It is simply the fact iPhone 4 can't support the features of iOS8. Le'ts be realistic in recognizing iPhone 4 is now over 4 years old. In cell phone land, that is ancient........

If the data network is not available for some time, to get it again we need to restart the phone instead it is not finding the data network instantly. why cant the iphone searches data net work offten if not available. i am totally disappointed with this!

Still it could not find the data network.it searches for voice network instantly and works too. but even full voice network available, there is no data network.when i restart the phone it could find data network.
Already i reset network settings for two times.

New IMac system on the way

Hey all,
So I just ordered a new IMac system... Refurbished 27" IMac 3.4Ghz quad-core with i7, 8GB memory, 1TB Fusion Drive, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680MX with 2GB.
I decided to go with the 1TB Fusion drive to run along side my new Lacie 2Big 4TB Thunderbolt Raid HD. I'm pretty psyched on the new setup as it's my first IMac. I'm a artist working in photograpy, video and design. I do lots of editing and annimation in After Effects and Photoshop. I currently edit all my work in Premire CS6. In terms of the Lacie drive... I wanted some advice and input on setting it up and partioning the drive for multiple media. In terms of the Fusion drive, I wanted to run the applications and OS on the SSD. What's the best way to setup my 4TB Raid HD? I was thinking of taking 1 TB and using it for time machine. The other three I wanted for media and project files. What are some of your setups? If you don't mind sharing of course.
Many Thanks

I have got a 21'5-inch iMac with a 870 GB partition for OS X and a 130 GB partition for Windows, and my LaCie external drive has got a 830 GB partition for Time Machine and 170 GB for files.
At the moment, this configuration works without any problem, and the configuration you want will work correctly. Also, this iMac won't give you any problem by using those apps.
Respecting to Fusion Drive, note that OS X will put your apps wherever it wants, so most used apps will be in the SSD and other applications will be in the HDD

Need to run windows on new imac with lion. where do i get windows for mac?

I have a new iMac and am new to Apple after 30+ years with PC-based hardware & software. First of all, and not to offend, but anyone who says Mac computers are easier to use than Windows computers must be talking about people who just came out of the jungle and are seeing their first computer. Sorry, I just needed to get that off my chest. That aside, I have legacy software that I need to run on the Mac (actually, one of the programs is CALLED Legacy). I'm told that if I want to use Bootcamp or Parallels software I need to install Windows on the Mac. Is that a special kind of Windows made for Mac, or will just any old Windows do? I've checked Bing and Google but they're so "ad-crazed" that I couldn't find anything.
I'm sure that, after 30 more years, I'll probably have the Mac OS down and find Windows 21 (or whatever they'll call it) to be difficult to use. .

Nope. Any flavor should work including both 32- and 64-bit versions. See these for more:

Why is the droid iprint app not available for my HTC Hero marketplace?

I can see the iprint app from the driod market place website, however when I search the marketplace from my phone it is not found. I cannot download it from the android website as my device is not found (I have already contacted the android tech support to resolve this issue)
I connet to the internet through my droid phone via easy teather, which the printer cannot seem to use through a wireless network connection.
Why the hell, did hp not enable internet acces through a **bleep** usb cable??!!!

Hey cowham!
The iPrint app is no longer on the marketplace but is very soon to be replaced with a much better app. You can find more information about this here. As far as being able to access the internet through a usb connection, as I understand it the printer uses the usb connection's full bandwidth already so it would not be able to print/scan if we gave it the ability to transmit the internet connection.
Hope this helps!
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!

Premiere elements 9 - the requested file is not available for download

I bought the download copy of premiere elements and photoshop 9.
I tried downloading the Akami download, but i got an error message as in hte thread title.
I tried the alternative way to download, and i got a file littered with corrupted files, and it wouldn't set up....Is there a way to download this properly, or should i be requesting they send me a hard copy?
Thanks in advance for any replies....Huck

Hi
Found this work-around on the following webpage http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25143/toc.htm
you select either of these options and then click Apply Changes, one of the following may occur:
An error saying that the page cannot be displayed (or a 404 error, depending on your browser)
A delay, followed by a 500 server error or a blank page
You can disregard these occurrences. The option that you selected will be successfully applied.
Workaround: To avoid these occurrences, use SQL*Plus to enable or disable remote access. You can start SQL*Plus by selecting Run SQL Command Line from the Oracle Database 10g Express Edition menu. Then enter the following commands:
SQL> CONNECT SYS/AS SYSDBA (Or enter CONNECT SYSTEM)
Enter password: password
SQL> EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETLISTENERLOCALACCESS(FALSE); (To enable remote access)
SQL> EXEC DBMS_XDB.SETLISTENERLOCALACCESS(TRUE); (To disable remote access)
Let us know if this helps you.
thanks

Impact of having the fsmo role holders not available for 14 hours...

Hi everyone, we have a situation where we will lose power to the building for 14 hours and since we don't have a generator we'll be shutting down our main site. We have 15 sites, each has a dc and the hq site has two with the fsmo roles distributed between
the two at hq. So two questions to start with:
1. What will be the impact of having the fsmo role holding domain controllers inaccessible for a period of 14 hours?
2. What will we be facing once we regain power and turn the hq dc's back on?
Look forward to hearing back about this - the power outage is this weekend though!!

Hi,
Sorry for the delay reply.
If your PDC Emulator fails, certain domain functions, security functions, can stop functioning. If anyone of the following is not happening then you should check if your PDC Emulator is working properly:
•Time is not Syncing: PDC is the default source for the client computers to sync the time. If client computers are not syncing the time then you should always check the PDC.
•User accounts are not locked out: PDC Emulator processes the account lockouts immediately for the entire domain.
For more detail information, please refer to:

I have a new iMac. I have set up a user page for myself, for my wife and an administrator page. My question is my wife needs files from my user page transferred to her page. What's the easiest way?

I've done this by dragging files from my user page to her drop box. In Finder, drag the required files and hover over the hard disc icon in the navigation bar on the left. As you hover, it will open another finder window showing the contents. Work your way down these windows into <Her username | Public | Dropbox>. Drop the files into the dropbox. She can then retrieve them from her user page.
Good luck,
Stephen

I think you may find helpful information here:
A Basic Guide for Migrating to Intel-Macs
The Knowledgebase article Intel-based Mac: Some migrated applications may need to be updated refers to methods of dealing with migrating from PowerPC chips to Intel with the Migration Assistant safely. The authors of this tip have not had a chance to verify this works in all instances, or that it avoids the 10.6.1 and earlier Guest Account bug that caused account information to get deleted upon use of the Migration/Setup Assistant. However, a well backed up source that includes at least two backups of all the data that are not connected to your machine will help you avoid potential issues, should they arise. In event it does not work, follow the steps below.
If you are migrating a PowerPC system (G3, G4, or G5) to an Intel-Mac be careful what you migrate. Keep in mind that some items that may get transferred will not work on Intel machines and may end up causing your computer's operating system to malfunction.
Rosetta supports "software that runs on the PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor that are built for Mac OS X". This excludes the items that are not universal binaries or simply will not work in Rosetta:
Classic Environment, and subsequently any Mac OS 9 or earlier applications
Screensavers written for the PowerPC System Preference add-ons
All Unsanity Haxies Browser and other plug-ins
Contextual Menu Items
Applications which specifically require the PowerPC G5 Kernel extensions
Java applications with JNI (PowerPC) libraries
See also What Can Be Translated by Rosetta.
In addition to the above you could also have problems with migrated cache files and/or cache files containing code that is incompatible.
If you migrate a user folder that contains any of these items, you may find that your Intel-Mac is malfunctioning. It would be wise to take care when migrating your systems from a PowerPC platform to an Intel-Mac platform to assure that you do not migrate these incompatible items.
If you have problems with applications not working, then completely uninstall said application and reinstall it from scratch. Take great care with Java applications and Java-based Peer-to-Peer applications. Many Java apps will not work on Intel-Macs as they are currently compiled. As of this time Limewire, Cabos, and Acquisition are available as universal binaries. Do not install browser plug-ins such as Flash or Shockwave from downloaded installers unless they are universal binaries. The version of OS X installed on your Intel-Mac comes with special compatible versions of Flash and Shockwave plug-ins for use with your browser.
The same problem will exist for any hardware drivers such as mouse software unless the drivers have been compiled as universal binaries. For third-party mice the current choices are USB Overdrive or SteerMouse. Contact the developer or manufacturer of your third-party mouse software to find out when a universal binary version will be available.
Also be careful with some backup utilities and third-party disk repair utilities. Disk Warrior, TechTool Pro , SuperDuper , and Drive Genius work properly on Intel-Macs with Leopard. The same caution may apply to the many "maintenance" utilities that have not yet been converted to universal binaries. Leopard Cache Cleaner, Onyx, TinkerTool System, and Cocktail are now compatible with Leopard.
Before migrating or installing software on your Intel-Mac check MacFixit's Rosetta Compatibility Index.

Transferring data with Setup Assistant - Migration Assistant FAQ
Because Migration Assistant isn't the ideal way to migrate from PowerPC to Intel Macs, using Target Disk Mode, copying the critical contents to CD and DVD, an external hard drive, or networking will work better when moving from PowerPC to Intel Macs. The initial section below discusses Target Disk Mode. It is then followed by a section which discusses networking with Macs that lack Firewire.
If both computers support the use of Firewire then you can use the following instructions:
1. Repair the hard drive and permissions using Disk Utility.
2. Backup your data. This is vitally important in case you make a mistake or there's some other problem.
3. Connect a Firewire cable between your old Mac and your new Intel Mac.
4. Startup your old Mac in Transferring files between two computers using FireWire.
5. Startup your new Mac for the first time, go through the setup and registration screens, but do NOT migrate data over. Get to your desktop on the new Mac without migrating any new data over.
If you are not able to use a Firewire connection (for example you have a Late 2008 MacBook that only supports USB:)
1. Set up a local home network: Creating a small Ethernet Network.
2. If you have a MacBook Air or Late 2008 MacBook see the following:
MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008) and MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008)- What to do if migration is unsuccessful;
MacBook Air- Migration Tips and Tricks;
MacBook Air- Remote Disc, Migration, or Remote Install Mac OS X and wireless 802.11n networks.
Copy the following items from your old Mac to the new Mac:
In your /Home/ folder: Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites folders.
In your /Home/Library/ folder:
/Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
/Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder) /Home/Library/Preferences/ (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Calendars (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder) /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
If you want cookies:
/Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
For Entourage users:
Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft.
Credit goes to Macjack for this information.
If you need to transfer data for other applications please ask the vendor or ask in the Discussions where specific applications store their data.
5. Once you have transferred what you need restart the new Mac and test to make sure the contents are there for each of the applications.

Without knowing what you have tried please open System Preferences - Sharing - File Sharing and select File Sharing. If you still have trouble you can call AppleCare in the morning when they re-open. You have 90 days of telephone support if you haven't already bought AppleCare.
