As a long-time Mac fan (back since System 6) who was forced into a PC world man years ago, OSX has re-kindled my passion for computing. I'm an old Unix guy and OSX has combined the best PC operating system with the power of Unix. To the average user who doesn't care about shell scripts and porting free applications, what you'll get from Unix is a tremendous amount of reliability and security...
One of the best reasons for anyone to switch to the Mac was summed up in a post over on iLounge as a reply to someone who was switching. When asked why anyone would switch, one reply simply said, "...because he realises that a computer should be a productivity tool, not a virus scanner."
In the year since I've bought my Mac Mini, the only failure I've had has been a crash of Virtual PC (an emulator that will allow you to run your old Windows-based applications), which took the virtual disk out and forced me to reinstall my Windows environment. That's nothing different than I've experienced countless times on my old PC.
That said, I'm looking at a 12" iBook. I didn't even consider the 14" because I don't want something larger that doesn't give me extra screen real-estate. I debated the 15" Powerbook but decided I don't really need it's larger screen, and I'd rather have something more portable. There are companies out there that sell dual-layer DVD-RW drives that can be installed in an iBook (even the 12" Powerbook only ships with a single-layer DVD burner).
512mb should be plenty, unless you plan on editing video or running Virtual PC--in which case, I'd recommend at least a gig.

  • Need help switching from cable modem to DSL

    Howdy all. I've had an iMac for a few months now and I'm still clueless. LOL (PC user for years). Please list all the steps I need to do to switch from dial up to DSL. All help is appreciated and needed.
    Thanks.

    As you dont say where in the world you are it is impossible to give specific information. However this is how it works in the UK. ISP's dont install anything for you. You sign up with the ISP, you purchase a package, this varies from the speed i.e 2mb, 8mb 16mb 20mb per sec.
    You then have options such as unlimited downloads, or a monthly data cap. Then you pay for your first month usually with a debit/credit card and setup a direct debit from your bank account there after. Some contracts are for 12 months others are 3 months and some are 1 month at a time.
    But the thing you need to be aware of in the UK if you already have cable then this usually means you have cable TV and a cable provided phone line. In the UK you cannot get DSL on a cable phone line you have to get a British Telecom line.
    You then provide your BT phone number to the ISP. Then after they process your payment they inform you as to when your line will be activated and then they send you a preconfigured ADSL router. You just then follow the instruction plug it in and it works. Most boxes have WPA setup already and have the password printed on the bottom of the router. An engineer does not come to your house unless the is a problem and they detected a line fault that requires and engineer visit.
    Of course if you are a business you can pay for a engineer visit to setup the network as well but this costs money.

  • Need to switch from Win to Mac

    I have been trying for over two weeks to get adobe to switch over my license from CS3 for Windows to CS3 Mac. I waited on the phone for over an hour then later for over two hours until my battery died for customer service area to answer.  And I have sent numerous web requests.
    Customer Service tells me to contact Sales; Sales tells me to contact Customer Support. 
    At one point, I really thought someone had read my request because they instructed me to fill out a Letter of Destruction - I did, but the request died in place shortly thereafter. 
    I then submitted a new request (for someone to check on the original request ticket) because no on would respond to the original one (I assumed that it was just lost in limbo - it happens).
    The customer service rep then sent me a letter saying to contact Sales and that he had closed out the request since it was resolved.  I guess it was about to reach their service level threshold and he needed to maintain "good numbers."
    I have searched the web and I know that Adobe's customer service seems to be  ranked at the very bottom, but any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I could use a mailing address or email for Shantanu Narayen (CEO/President) or John Warnock (co-chairman) if anyone has it.  It really is at a point that it would be easier to obtain an illegal license than to try to maintain a legal copy, which is really saying something.  Please email me at [email protected]

    The suggestion from skullmaker that referenced the open letter from Adobe to their customers and the adbecare email address was very helpful. 
    I emailed them and briefly explained my issue (not always easy when you are frustrated and you want to send them a blow-by-blow time line description of everything that happened). 
    Adobe called me back within 24 hours and acknowledged that their current customer support process is not meeting their customer service goals and that they are actively working to correct the deficiencies. 
    The individual that I spoke with was very polite (Tracy M) and understanding, and stated that she would resolve my problem personally.  She also provided her direct contact information should I have any further problems. 
    She didn't redirect me to yet another unanswered phone number or ask me to submit another LOD or to complete another web ticket - she assumed ownership for my problem and said that she would handle everything to get my issue resolved. 
    I believe that Adobe knows that they have a problem and that they are sincere in wanting to correct their customer support process issues.  I believe that my issue is resolved (or will be shortly).  My suggestion to anyone experiencing out of the ordinary problems with Adobe's current customer support process is to contact Adobe through the email address mentioned in the open letter.  
    My thanks to Skullmaker and this forum for helping me get past this problem - I really appreciate it.

  • Need help switching from LiveCycle to Distiler.

    Hey, guys.  Total n00b here.  I am having problems selecting Distiller as my default form editor.
    My PC runs:
    XP Pro Service Pack 3
    Office Pro 2003
    Acrobat Pro 9
    Last week I could not print anything doe to an error with my print spooler.  Microsoft's suggestion was to edit the registry and remove all 3rd party print software.  I am assuming this created a hit on Acrobat's functionality.  In the past when I would edit fields, Distiller was my default choice.  But ever since my registry hack, when I Go to Forms >> to edit, I no longer am able to use Distiller.  My default is now LiveCycle Designer 8.2.  I would like to go back to using Distiller, but I do not know how to change back.  Is there something really, really easy I'm missing here, or do I simply need to uninstall and reinstall the entire Acrobat Pro 9 package?  I have confirmed that Distiller is still installed on my machine.
    I followed this Microsoft KB article if anyone thinks this will help.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/810894
    Thanks!

    Michael,
    Thanks for your response.  Unfortunately, I do not know a lot about the teminology associated with, or the functionality of Acrobat, but the person I'm trying to help knows even less.  I'm sure this is probably a really simple fix, but that I'm not describing what's going on well enough for someone to figure this one out.  I'll post the e-mail that I received about the situation:
    Almost all seems to be running well. There is still a delay when I send a job to the printer, happens - but slowly.
    The problem I do have is that now when I open a pdf, under forms drop down it only allows me to edit the form with Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.2, not thru Distiller or Acrobat as I could last week……Designer does not import or save(bring with it) any data already entered on the form. Before I could, with the click of a button, switch back and forth between entering information on the form and editing the form and its fields.
    I don’t know if this is something that occurred as a default or exactly where Designer came from. I don’t mind it being there, just want to be able to choose what program I use, and at this time I prefer Acrobat/Distiller.
    Please let me know what I need to do to get things back to ‘normal’
    Again, thanks again for the respones.  I don't know, but maybe I should just uninstall/reinstall Acrobat and *HOPE* that it is running as it once did.
    Thanks!

  • I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.

     I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.  
    I am currently using Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows 7.  After several years of use, I am self taught and adequately proficient for an amateur.  What I didn't realize (until I started researching my upcoming migration on the Internet) is that I actually use PE8 for two functions: digital asset management and digital editing. 
    Regarding Digital Asset Management: My research leads me to understand that PE on MAC does not provide the same level of organizational capability that I am used to having on Windows, instead providing Adobe's Bridge which does not look very robust.  Furthermore, iPhoto, which come on MAC will not support the hierarchical keyword tagging that I require to organize my library of photos. The two SW applications which I am thinking of switching to are either Aperture or Adobe's Lightroom.  Frankly, I'm thinking that it would be smoother to stay within the Apple product line. 
    So the remaining question is whether Aperture will support my digital editing needs. The tweaks that I do to my photos are not very complex (no, I do not want to put people's heads on other animal bodies).  But could someone who uses Aperture tell me whether It will allow me to do the following kinds of edits?:
    - If I have a photo where someone's face is too shadowed, can I lighten just that person's face, and leave the rest of the photo as-is?  
    - if I have a photo where the background is cluttered (eg, 2 people in front of the Parthenon which is undergoing renovation), can I remove just the construction cranes?  
    - Can it splice together several separate photos to give a panoramic?  
    If, once I get Aperture, I find that it cannot enable the kinds of editing that I do, I would probably get PE11 in the future. However, if people in this forum tell me that Aperture will definitely not  support the kinds of editing which I've described in the previous paragraph, I would prefer to get PE11 with my initial configuration (since someone will be helping me with my migration).  
    Thanks in advance for your consideration and help! 

    I am concerned, however,  about using a non-Apple Digital Asset Manager in OSX. I would really like to avoid integration problems. Is using PE11 to import and catalog my digital photos likely to cause conflicts?
    Thanks for any insight on this
    Amy,
    Not so much conflicts as maybe a little less seamless integration with Apple software and perhaps some third-party software providers in the Mac App Store where some programs build in direct access to iPhoto and Aperture libraries for getting images into those programs easily. Typically, there is a manual command to go to Finder (think Windows Explorer) to browse folders.
    One caution to mention however, is that the organization you set-up in PE Organizer is unlikely to transfer over to either iPhoto or Aperture if you decide to change at some point.
    The only real stumbling block that I see in your opening comment is that you want hierarchical keywording (Kirby or Léonie can go into the details on keywording limitations as I stay at one level). If you can work with the keywording schemes of either iPhoto or Aperture, then using PE for your external editor (either program supports setting an external editor) would probably be ideal since you know PE well. This is the idea with the Mac App Store version of PE (editor with no organizer).
    Note - I use Photoshop CS6 (full version) with Aperture and it works really well. The only downside is that Aperture has to make either a TIFF or PSD file to send to an external editor so that the original file is protected by not sending it to the pixel editor. While TIFF or PSD files protect the integrity of the image information without degrading it, they are typically much larger file sizes on disk than either RAW or JPEG files. Therefore, your library size (iPhoto or Aperture) will balloon quite a bit if you send a lot of files to external editors.
    One other possibility for an external editor would be a program called Pixelmator. It is pretty similar to early versions of Photoshop, but built for Mac. Other than the panoramics you want, it will do most pixel editing that PE can do. It is not an organizer, so it is built to go with either iPhoto or Aperture. It does have differences in how you complete certain procedures, so there is bit of a learning curve when you are used to doing it the Adobe way.

  • Switching  from Windows  to Mac. Is it worth it? Please help!

    Hey everybody,
    I think I finally made my decision to switch from windows to Mac,..the I-book. G4 (not the power book). The I-book I want is around 1299.00, with the wider screen,..than the smaller i-book.
    Anyhow,.what led me to this decision was just sending back the Sony FS series. It was sleek beautiful and"white" like I love,..but the speakers were awful. I have just about given up on trying to find a decent notebook. I love the look of the i-book,..but cant get that gorgeous wide screen from Sony out of my mind. It was more than the speakers. Just too noisy. Anyway...if you bought this i-book all over again,..would you? Alos I have a brand new Linskys Router with the built in Security. Would the Macs intergrated wireless card,..work with my router?

  • Painless switch from PC to MAC

    As many people do so, i will be making the switch from PC to MAC in 2009.
    Since i want to do this as painless as possible, i want to be prepared as good as possible. I already found some information about licensing but i'm also much concerned about the technical issues.
    - Creative Suite CS2 / Photoshop CS3 : can i take all my actions, custom settings, brushes etc to the other side? All compatible. Concerning third-party plugins i know i will have to contact them seperately
    Working a lot in Indesign and Illustrator, i expect to have many Font issues. Any advice on this?
    - Lightroom: i have 5 collections and some 100,000 photos in DNG, JPEG and PSD format on 3 different (internal and external) drives. I backup on another external drive. I'm concerned making the switch, Lightroom's database will either not be compatible or will not take along all settings (presets, keywords, sets, etc).
    - color consistency / calibration. I know the colors displayed on my current monitor are correct. Can I expect differences when displaying my photos on a mac?
    Anything else I have to think about? I don't want to lose years of work neither spend weeks switching from one platform to the other. Any advice is really welcome.

    Mr. Isaacs,
    Please note this definition of the word misinformation:
    "False or inaccurate information, esp. that which is deliberately intended to deceive..."
    I am not a lawyer, and you might not be either: but when I am repeatedly given misinformation by representatives of a corporation, I must consider the possibility of fraudulent behavior. Whether or not the persons giving out the misinformation are employees or outsourced contractors is immaterial to me; the ultimate responsibility lies with Adobe's management.
    Here's another example for you of misinformation. I discovered yesterday (after quite a bit of searching) that Adobe Acrobat Pro for Mac does not include the application LiveCycle Designer. However, when I looked at the product description on the Store page, I saw no mention that this is a Windows-only feature:
    From http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/features/:
    "Create dynamic forms
    Use Adobe LiveCycle Designer, a professional form design tool included with Acrobat 9 Pro, to further customize and automate dynamic XML forms."
    I have several forms that I have created for clients using LiveCycle Designer. However, now that I have a Mac, I will be unable to edit those forms in Acrobat Pro, which I purchased as part of Creative Suite. From Help files http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/8.0/Professional/help.html?content=WS58a04a822e3e50102 bd615109794195ff-7dfd.html:
    In Windows, you can use LiveCycle Designer to edit forms that were created in Acrobat, but Acrobat can’t edit form fields that have been opened and saved in LiveCycle Designer.
    So now I will need to purchase a full copy of Acrobat Pro for Windows ($449.00 USD) in order to continue to use the forms that I have created for my paying clients.
    Just out of curiosity, I decided to ask a sales representative about whether or not LiveCycle Designer is included in the Mac version. I clicked the Chat button on the Acrobat Pro product page, and initiated a chat with "Randy." Here's the important bit of our conversation:
    "Adrienne: Just to clarify, the Mac version of Acrobat Pro 9 does have LiveCycle designer included?
    Randy: Yes."
    "Randy" was only too eager to take my money then and there. Of course, if I had purchased Acrobat Pro 9, and once I opened, installed, and ran the software, I would have discovered that I did not in fact have LiveCycle Designer. I could then initiate a return, which would hopefully be completed within the three-week time frame specified.
    I repeatedly requested that I be given an ID for the chat, either the representative's ID or a reference number for the chat. "Randy" told me he couldn't give me any "personal information," (I did not ask for his last name, just a way to identify him) but said I could email myself a copy of the chat. I entered my email address as instructed but never received a transcript of the chat.
    I can only conclude two things from this experience:
    One: Adobe's management of its Customer Service and Sales departments is incompetent;
    OR
    Two: Adobe is deliberately trying to deceive me, the customer, with "bait and switch" tactics.
    If it's the first case, then I am only too eager to stop buying products from a company that cannot manage its Support and Sales teams. If it's the second case, I must consider filing a complaint with the FTC.
    Mr. Isaacs, if you were in my position, what do you think you would do?

  • Debating the switch from PC to Mac?

    Hello,

    Yes, you will need to cross upgrade to CS6 Mac for $200, but the Lightroom license is also for the Mac and you can activate using your present serial number.

  • I have switched from PC to Mac how do i use my windows version  of adobe photoshop CS3 on my MAC?

    i have switched from PC to Mac how do i use my windows version  of adobe photoshop CS3 on my MAC?

    rebel1568,
    All Photoshop versions through CS6 came with platform-specific licenses, either Windows or PC.  You could get a cross-grade of platform swap at a nominal cost but not for older versions, only for whatever Photoshop versions was current at the time.
    CS3 is totally out of the upgrade or cross-grade loop.  You'd have to buy a new license for CS6 Mac or subscribe to Photoshop CC, as Trevor points out.
    Curt Y is correct in that CS2 will not run on current Mac-Intel machines.  You would need a used Mac G5 or G4 with a PowerPC (IBM) CPU, which have been obsolete since mid 2006.
    Of course, you could run your Windows  on your Mac if you installed and ran BootCamp or Parallells.

    I'm switching from PC to Mac. I'm using my one time switch for Lightroom. I have elements 7. Can I upgrade or do I née to just buy outright?

    If you use the organizer, you need to buy the boxed version of PSE 12. You can usually find it at big box stores and online retailers for less than adobe's upgrade price, if you shop around. You need the boxed version because you get a serial  number that works on both platforms, and you will need to install PSE 12 in windows first, upgrade your catalog, then make a full backup to a removable drive and restore from that to the mac, after installing PSE 12 there.
    If you don't use organizer, it doesn't matter.

  • IPod classic - switching from Windows to Mac

    I have an iPod classic and am switching from Windows to Mac - what's the best way to retain my iPod library? Thanks!

    If you just want to connect and use the iPod on the Mac then set it to manual update on your PC first. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different. You can directly access the content of the iPod and play it through iTunes and you can drag and drop whatever you want to the iPod from either library:
    Using iPod with Multiple computers
    Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    Syncing Music to iPod
    Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod
    Macs can read Windows drives, the iPod shuffle for instance comes Windows formatted and is fully supported (you can update the firmware or restore it on the Mac and it retains it's Windows formatting). Other iPods (such as a 5th Generation or Classic for example) can be used in Windows format on a Mac but have to have the firmware updated or be restored on a PC to maintain the formatting. If however you don't intend using the iPod on a PC again you'll need to transfer your library from your PC so you can restore and reformat the iPod and keep it's firmware updated.
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your new iTunes directly from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too, you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well. This is just a small selection of what's available, you can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    Senuti Mac Only (Currently only the beta version is iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    PodView Mac Only
    PodWorks Mac Only
    iPodDisk PPC Mac Only (experimental version available for Intel Macs)
    TuneAid Mac only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac & Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

    I need help need help installing snow leopard on mac mini 10.5.8 intel based so if u kno how pls message me thanks
    <Email Edited by Host>

    You need to purchase the upgrade disk (it is a DVD). Then just put it in and run the installer. When it was first released it was $29 USD, do not know if the price has changed or not.
    The usual precautions about backing up your data apply. In fact I would recommend either making a Disk Image of your current boot drive or using something like Carbon Copy Cloner to copy it to an external drive. I upgraded 5 machines from Leopard to Snow Leopard without any issues, but better to be safe than sorry.

    If you are not sure of what you are doing,If you are worried about losing anything when doing a major systems upgrade/update,
    Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
