Picasa-like graphic software for PPC e/iMacs?

I run simple courses for retirees to learn digital photo enhancing and management.  I prospective participant has appeared with an older Mac - "one of the rounded ones", she said - and I wonder how I can now help her as Picasa is for Intel-only kit.  It is clearly a PPC-based machine but which one, I don't know. 
Can anybody recommend a compatible, simple picture enhancing/retouching/managing software that is similar to Picasa, please?  Cheap would be good and free even better!

Thanks for that, Klaus1.  GraphicConverter's designers had an eye pointing at Photoshop, methinks!  One of Picasa's major points is that it provides many ways to organise images - nothing amazing but all potentially useful for being in one app: folders, Albums, tags, Google-quality searches, batch renaming all come to mind.  It's graphical enhancing is fairly pedestrian but adequate and easy to use.  One neat trick it has is to hold onto any changes made to files, whether the changes are saved or not, displaying the changes whenever the image is displayed in P but not if the file is approaced directly e.g. via a file manager.  I think it's cute, anyway.

  • Internet cafe software for managing 27 iMac Intel based

    Dear all,
    I am planning to setup a 27 iMac based internet cafe.
    Do you know any software to run a typical internet cafe with Point of Sale for products and time and account management?
    With best regards,
    2pacy

    Check out Hodoman Timer for an inexpensive product that claims to do what you need. Alternatively, ExpressPay, the same system used a Kinkos stores for billing copyier time, also supports Macs - although there's probably a higher up-front cost to their system.

  • Graphics Update for a 2007 iMac?

    Why is my Software Update telling me to install the new graphics update when, according to the update's description, my iMac isn't affected by it? I have a mid-2007 intel iMac running 10.6.4.

    The knowledge base article implies the frame-rate improvements are related to specific machines but there are other fixes that apply to Snow Leopard presumably on any 10.6.4 machine running those products such as Aperture.

  • Netmeeting compatible video conferencing software for the Intel iMac?

    I am currently using XMeeting V0.2, but the received video leaves a lot to be desired. The image quality, even at a slow frame rate and on a gigabit LAN, is no where near as good as on a PC running Netmeeting. In contrast, the transmitted video is perfect. I've played with the settings, but nothing seems to help. Anyone using XMeeting? If so, what settings are you using? Any other video conferencing Intel Mac software (free to cheap) I should try?

    The only one listed on
    http://www.applechat.info/
    for Netmeeting is:
    ohphoneX
    Don't know if it is Intel Mac compatible.
    You may also want to find out if any of the Windows solutions work well on Boot Camp or Parallel's Workstation, or Wintel Mac OS X which offer the ability to run a variety of Windows versions on Intel Macs.

  • Need Apple Hardware Test Software For Sept 2006 iMac

    I am aware it came with the original installation from 4 years ago. But the original installation is not available. Is this available and be downloaded from somewhere else?

    No you cannot download the AHT however you can call Apple and they can replace the installation disc for a nominal fee. That way you will have both it and the AHT for future use. Getting a replacement disc is wise because sooner or later you may need it if you plan to sell the machine or need to re-install the OS.

  • What is the best Book Cataloguing software for iMac. I have about 5000 books I would like to bar-code scan into my iMac. Thanks

    What is the best software for cataloguing a large book collection into my iMAc. I would like to use a hand-held scanner, and scan bar codes, entering ISBN numbers only when necessary. Currently using Book Collector (www.collectorz.com) on a PC. desktop

    I did something similar and used an application for my phone (Android OS at the time), which I can't recall the name of, to bulk scan the bar codes and subsequently upload the list to my mac in the form of an excel spreadsheet (it was a csv file). When I migrated to an iPhone, the application "Bar code scanner" performed in the same manner. Using my phone was by far the easiest method of bulk scanning (and subsequently cataloguing on my machine) in both instances.

  • Do the Imac support Corel graphics software?  Or does Apple make its own graphics software?

    Does the Apple Imac support Corel Draw for graphics design?  Or does Apple provide its own graphics software package when making an Imac purchase?

    There are thousands of graphics apps available for OS X. A very quick look on Corel's web site showed Corel Draw is not available for OS X, probably another reason Corel is in sad financial shape. Apple does not include any graphics creation software when you buy an iMac what is included is OS X and the iLife suite of products.
    If you are interested in a substitute for Corel Draw then I'd recommend using Google to search for OS X alternatives, I'm sure you will not have a problem finding many suitable alternatives.

  • Wireless network management software for iMac?

    Hello all
    I am running a home WLAN via a cable modem + Belkin N Wireless Router, with my Intel iMAc wired to the router, and 3 PC's with wireless connections.
    All running perfectly!
    However - I would like to be able to control the network from the Mac, specifically as follows:
    - have visibility of all machines connected at any time
    - have visibility of the bandwidth consumption of each machine
    - be able to "bandwidth throttle" each machine, ie allocate maximum "shares of bandwidth"
    - be able to schedule bandwidth throttling per machine, as well as set manually
    Is there any software that does this for the Mac, and that is recommended by users on this board?
    Note that I have zero understanding of router functionality and therefore accept that this question may or may not make sense!
    Thanks in advance for any help / recommendations

    Rick - thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
    Yes there are controls in the router to manage internet access for each client on the network but they are simply of the yes / no variety - allowing the admin to just turn access on or off.
    My teenage kids use Internet access for a variety of (legitimate!) purposes but my ISP (Virgin Media) imposes automatic "traffic management" bandwidth throttle on my connection (from 10 MBPS to 1 MBPS for 5 hours) if our overall bandwidth consumption exceeds 1,200 MB between 4pm and 9pm (http://allyours.virginmedia.com/html/internet/traffic.html)
    Needless to say, getting my kids to monitor and limit their own traffic during this period is impossible - so I would like to be able to automate the policing of traffic levels fairly amongst 3 concurrent users during the trigger time slot 4pm - 9pm without having to resort to a blunt "on/off" policy.
    From your reply I guess that my router provider (Belkin) would be the best source of information regarding available software for this - assuming it exists ...?
    Thanks

  • What is the best, most affordable software for a new graphic designer?

    My son is an artist and interested to learn how to be a graphic designer. Looking for the best, easiest to dive in, and most affordable software for my new, shiny iMac! Thanks....

    I would say Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and Indesign are the industry standard in design. But not the most affordable if your are on a tight budget. Photoshop elements has most of major features as the full version of Photoshop but is much cheaper. You can also download a trail version of the Adobe products from Adobe's website for your son to try out.
    Also, look in the app store on the Featured page, there is a link on the right, "Apps for Designers". There you can find several image editing and vector programs he could try. There might be a few layout programs as well.
    I would say if he is serious about getting into graphic design, Adobe products are the way to go. 

  • It is should be installed an antivirus software for iMac product?

    Hi dear Apple..
    I would like to ask about an antivirus software for iMac product. It is should be installed for virus protection, for example Kaspersky Antivirus?
    Thanks..

    OS X versions 10.6.7 and later have built-in detection of known Mac malware in downloaded files. The recognition database is automatically updated once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders. In most cases, there’s no benefit from any other automated protection against malware.
    The most effective defense against malware is your own intelligence. All known malware on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of trojans, which can only work if the victim is duped into running them. If you're smarter than the malware attacker thinks you are, you won't be duped. That means, primarily, that you never install software from an untrustworthy source. How do you know a source is untrustworthy?
    Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown site, merely in order to use the site, is untrustworthy.
    A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim.
    “Cracked” copies of commercial software downloaded from a bittorrent are likely to be infected.
    Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. No intermediary is acceptable.
    Disable Java (not JavaScript) in your web browser(s). Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This setting is mandatory in OS X 10.5.8 or earlier, because Java in those versions has bugs that make it unsafe to use on the Internet. Those bugs will probably never be fixed, because those older operating systems are no longer being maintained by Apple. Upgrade to a newer version of OS X as soon as you can.
    Follow these guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can reasonably be.
    Never install any commercial "anti-virus" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use the free software ClamXav — nothing else.

  • What is the best virus protection software for imac

    Can someone suggest the best anti virus software for an intel based iMac?

    If you are really running OS X "Leopard", you should be aware that Apple stopped providing updates for it years ago. On the other hand your profile also indicates you are using a Power Mac, and they do not use Intel CPUs. The good news about that is that the PowerPC platform has become so uncommon that they are extremely unlikely to be the target of any sort of malware or virus attempts. So, more information is required, but lacking that most of the following principles apply equally well to any computer.
    There will always be threats to your information security associated with using any Internet - connected communications tool:
    You can mitigate those threats by following commonsense practices
    Delegating that responsibility to software is an ineffective defense
    Assuming that any product will protect you from those threats is a hazardous attitude that is likely to result in neglecting point #1 above.
    OS X already includes everything it needs to protect itself from viruses and malware. Keep it that way with software updates from Apple.
    A much better question is "how should I protect my Mac":
    Never install any product that claims to "clean up", "speed up",  "optimize", "boost" or "accelerate" your Mac; to "wash" it, "tune" it, or to make it "shiny". Those claims are absurd.Such products are very aggressively marketed. They are all scams.
    Never install pirated or "cracked" software, software obtained from dubious websites, or other questionable sources.
    Illegally obtained software is almost certain to contain malware.
    "Questionable sources" include but are not limited to spontaneously appearing web pages or popups, download hosting sites such as C net dot com, Softonic dot com, Soft pedia dot com, Download dot com, Mac Update dot com, or any other site whose revenue is primarily derived from junk product advertisements.
    If you need to install software that isn't available from the Mac App Store, obtain it only from legitimate sources authorized by the software's developer.
    Don’t supply your password in response to a popup window requesting it, unless you know what it is and the reason your credentials are required.
    Don’t open email attachments from email addresses that you do not recognize, or click links contained in an email:
    Most of these are scams that direct you to fraudulent sites that attempt to convince you to disclose personal information.
    Such "phishing" attempts are the 21st century equivalent of a social exploit that has existed since the dawn of civilization. Don’t fall for it.
    Apple will never ask you to reveal personal information in an email. If you receive an unexpected email from Apple saying your account will be closed unless you take immediate action, just ignore it. If your iCloud, iTunes, or App Store account becomes disabled for valid reasons, you will know when you try to buy something or log in to this support site, and are unable to.
    Don’t install browser extensions unless you understand their purpose. Go to the Safari menu > Preferences > Extensions. If you see any extensions that you do not recognize or understand, simply click the Uninstall button and they will be gone.
    Don’t install Java unless you are certain that you need it:
    Java, a non-Apple product, is a potential vector for malware. If you are required to use Java, be mindful of that possibility.
    Java can be disabled in System Preferences.
    Despite its name JavaScript is unrelated to Java. No malware can infect your Mac through JavaScript. It’s OK to leave it enabled.
    The same precaution applies to Adobe Flash Player. Newly discovered Flash vulnerabilities appear almost weekly.
    Beware spontaneous popups: Safari menu > Preferences > Security > check "Block popup windows".
    Popup windows are useful and required for some websites, but unsolicited popups are commonly used to deceive people into installing unwanted software they would never intentionally install.
    Popups themselves cannot infect your Mac, but many contain resource-hungry code that will slow down Internet browsing.
    If you ever receive a popup window indicating that your Mac is infected with some ick or that you won some prize, it is 100% fraudulent. Ignore it.
    The same goes for a spontaneously appearing dialog insisting that you upgrade your video player right this instant. Such popups are frequently associated with sites that promise to deliver "free" movies or other copyrighted content that is not normally "free".
    The more insistent it is that you upgrade or install something, the more likely it is to be a scam. Close the window or tab and forget it.
    Ignore hyperventilating popular media outlets that thrive by promoting fear and discord with entertainment products arrogantly presented as "news". Learn what real threats actually exist and how to arm yourself against them:
    The most serious threat to your data security is phishing. Most of these attempts are pathetic and are easily recognized, but that hasn't stopped prominent public figures from recently succumbing to this age-old scam.
    OS X viruses do not exist, but intentionally malicious or poorly written code, created by either nefarious or inept individuals, is nothing new.
    Never install something without first knowing what it is, what it does, how it works, and how to get rid of it when you don’t want it any more.
    If you elect to use "anti-virus" software, familiarize yourself with its limitations and potential to cause adverse effects, and apply the principle immediately preceding this one.
    Most such utilities will only slow down and destabilize your Mac while they look for viruses that do not exist, conveying no benefit whatsoever - other than to make you "feel good" about security, when you should actually be exercising sound judgment, derived from accurate knowledge, based on verifiable facts.
    Do install updates from Apple as they become available. No one knows more about Macs and how to protect them than the company that builds them.
    Summary: Use common sense and caution when you use your Mac, just like you would in any social context. There is no product, utility, or magic talisman that can protect you from all the evils of mankind.
