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...

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:

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.

Project management software for MAC

I'm looking for a Project Management software for MAC ?

Good place to look for software:
http://www.macupdate.com/
And for free alternatives to some popular software packages:

(If you see an ad there for something called MacKeeper, ignore it and on no account install it - it is malware.)
And there is of course also the App Store!

ITunes invoice management sofware for mac and iPhone

hy all
I'm looking for a management software for mac/iphone. I would like to save my iTunes invoices somehow. I can't print my iTunes invoices, I would like to organize them. I need some kind of app or something for management. Can anybody help me? I'm looking for my problem for a while...and I can't belive I'm the only one in this world who want to organize the iTunes Invoices.
Regards
(sorry for my english, not perfect)

What do you mean by "manage" them? Manage them how? The receipts are just email messages which can be saved out to a text file and from there they are just normal documents. You're going to need to be more explict as to what you wish to accomplish with this "management" before anyone will be able to offer much in the way of useful suggestions.
Regards.

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

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.

How to partition my drive for Mac and XP use? from a novice

I would like to use my MacBook Pro for both Mac ad PC programs (Office and others) and hear that I can partition the drive. How is the best way to do that? Also I have an external Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex external drive to set up that supposedly can back up both Mac and PC without formatting each time. Do I have to partition the drive first? Do I use Time Machine?

Is it your intent to run Windows programs on your computer? If so then this is more than simply a partitioning exercise.
In order to use an external drive on both Macs and PCs there are two options. Option One is to partition and format the drive MBP and FAT32, respectively. OS X can read/write a FAT32 formatted drive. However, due to filesystem differences some features of the OS X filesystem are not supported by FAT32, so FAT32 is not the best choice for transferring OS X documents, but would be fine for transferring Windows documents.
Option Two is to partition the drive using GUID then creating two partitions. One partition is formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled and the other partition is formatted FAT32. Each partition can be used for the data from the appropriate platform.
TM is not a file transfer program, cannot be used for Windows documents, and does not work on Windows.
If you wish to run Windows on your Mac then see the following:
Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system.
See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows. You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Hotel management software for mac - need assistance PLEASE read..

hello everyone! thanks for taking the time to read this. I am managing hotels and they requested going via computer compared to hands-on. what programs do you recommend for the hotel management software when one does a reservation online to send a notice and when guests check-in?
also, does anyone recommend a good GDS type program to have customers do online reservations via my website and to help advertise it? thank you again!
p.s. this is for MAC only - not PC. thank you..

For any online activity, personally I would have a customized application written in something like PHP (for scalability instead of being fixed and needed eventual upgrades as in ASP or dotNet).
Perhaps you can search at cnet for a review. I do not know of any specific software for hotel/rest management for Mac, but I'm sure there are commercial programs of some sort that could be repurposed.

Best Contact Management Software for Mac

I'm sure this question has been asked before but I can't find it anywhere. Plus, I'm not sure if I'm even in the right place. But, can you tell me what contact management software works the best for Mac?
Also, I'm new to using such software, is there anything specific I should be looking for when choosing one?
Thanks!

I'm sorry to say there isn't much around. It has been a bit of a weak spot for Mac / OS X for ages - but things are possibly improving.
Any CRM solution for OS X needs really to co-operate with Address Book and iCal - so you can sync your stuff out to PDAs or whatever, and use them in Mail / iWork / Office 2008 etc. that are already written to work with such info in AB and iCal. If it doesn't, you end up with a closed-off app that can't easily work with you on the machine, and which then has to re-do code that already exists. Odd design constraints in earlier versions of iCal and AB made this harder - they were not very aware of other systems / apps. But this is changing in Leopard, and there are some promising things on the horizon (though none really useful solutions avail yet).
Of those out there, probably the best notional app is (in my view) Now Software's Nighthawk (http://www.nowsoftware.com/nighthawkSubsite/index.html). It is written by a team with a solid track record of CRM development on Macs, and is apparently designed to play nice with iSync and the rest. Trouble is it doesn't yet exist - rumours of a public Beta have been out there for months, but the date keeps slipping. Could be a good thing, or signs of major problems - who knows. Realistically you'll not see anything commercially viable from them before April next year I reckon.
But waiting could be good. The other attempt we've seen is SOHO Organizer by Chronos Software. (http://www.chronosnet.com/Products/sohoorganizer.html) In description it does the business - iSync / iCal / AB compatible. But it has had a troubled development, and there is lots of grim sounding reports of trouble with the app on the net. The developers are not very kind to themselves with not much disclosure and (at least last time a looked) a restrictive demo / preview policy (you get one trial period, and that's it, for ever! Even if they bring out a major version number change). My personal experience is that they tell a much better marketing story than they deliver in software - but I've steered clear of the app for a long time now (after a seriously bad experience) but who knows, they might well have caught up with their ambitions by now.
There are many others about that are really central web-based systems - which is fine provided you don't want to use Mail / AB / iCal or sync any of this to your phone / PDA / .Mac or whatever.
So, nothing much going on now. But ever hopeful...
If anyone knows more / other stuff - would be good to know about. We're still travelling hopefully.

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.

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.

Free Project Management Software for Mac or windows!

Hi all,
Does anyone know of a good project management software that does more than what Microsoft project does and is freely available? I mean one that has a local application but also can update updates to the web side of the software? I saw sharedPlan which is really good so far but its not freely available. It runs on Mac and Windows but really looking for a windows version as all my team members only use windows.
So I guess am asking for one that's open source?
Please let me know.

You might want to check out Wikipedia page and look for open source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparisonof_project_managementsoftware
The only free tools that I know of are web based such as Zoho projects, Basecamp etc..
Or you can always download and use for 30 days tools from:
http://www.geniusinside.com
http://openproj.org/
http://www.ganttproject.biz/
or other
