Professional CAD-Software for Mac

I intend to buy an IMac G5 soon, but I´m worried that there will be no serious CAD-Software available for Mac - such as Autocad, Rhinoceros or 3D-Studio...i really nead that programms cause i´m working as an architect.
Can someone tell me whether there is a possibillity to run all my Windows Software on Mac platform, cause i heard that emulation software makes Windows Progs so slow?
Thanks

  • What is the best investment tracking software for macs?

    what is the best investment tracking software for macs?

    Three issues to consider about an external HD:
    1. Connectivity. In other words, USB 2.0 and Firewire. If you intend to move large chunks of data at once, such as when streaming audio or video for professional applications, then Firewire is better suited for that. Otherwise, for normal applications, USB is ok.
    2. RPMs. In other words, how fast the HD platter spins around. Most consumer HD have a 5400 rpm (rotations per minute) speed. Some HD have a 7200 or even 10,000 rpm spec. The faster the rotation, the faster the access time, the faster information on the HD can be accessed. Not a critical factor unless you deal with audio or video.
    3. Brand. In other words, reliability. Best ones, form my experience, are Seagate and Western Digital. Go for Seagate if you can. I've never had any issues with a Seagate drive. You can also go to your local computer shop and they will have separate drives and enclosures, so you can customize the look and connectivity of your HD.

    If you search the archinect forums for "mac software" you will find 44 topics with hundreds of responses to similar questions, some of which link back to topics here in Apple's Discussions. If you register with archinect, you can ask your own questions.
    In the meantime, post your questions about CAD software for OS X in the Using Tiger forum (or in the forum dealing with Usage for your hardware, whatever that may be) where you may find more focused attention to your issue. This forum, as its title suggests, isn't intended for technical questions, but for feedback on Apple Discussions itself.
    Good luck.

  • Business tax software for mac?

    Anyone know of business tax (estates) software for Mac? I'd rather not use Parallels, Windows, etc.

    Hi Lawrence -
    I've been an eBay Power Seller for several years. When I started out I was using a Dell with Win/XP and I purchased Intuit's Quickbooks Professional 2006. I've since dumped my Dell, gone to two iMac's and a MacBook Air. Unfortunately, I have not found an AFFORDABLE, easy to use, and easy to migrate to product that runs natively on the Mac. I am using VMware's Fusion V4 and Win/XP under it. The QB Pro still plugs along doing a great job of keeping my bookkeeping straight. I've got a couple ham radio related programs that do not have Mac counterparts, so I can't say that Fusion is used strictly for QB.
    While I can't give you a suggestion for business software for the Mac, my suggestion is that you shouldn't 100% rule out a Win-based product. Performance-wise, my Win apps are very fast running under Fusion.

  • Word processing with citations software for Mac?

    What is your choice for word processign with citations software for Mac?  I am a graduate student.  So, being able to enter citations and compile a bibliography/works cited pages is a must. 
    In the past I have always used MS Word, as I was a WIndows user in the past.  Pages doesn't seem to have the same capabilities as Word.  I have read a little about using Endnote and Bookends with Pages. 
    What is your preference, and why?

  • Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11? Or something equivalent? Help Please!

    Hello All,
    Is there a Blackberry Desktop Software for MAC OS 10.4.11?  Or something equivalent?
    I recently switched from a palm treo to blackberry but didn't anticipate syncing issues with my mac until now.  The current BB desktop software seems only compatible with MAC OS 10.5, so I'm in a difficult position.
    Please any suggestions are deeply welcomed!!
    Thank you.

  • Using Desktop Software for Mac with an 8703e - Can it be done?

    I downloaded the new BB desktop software for Mac but it doesn't seem to work with my 8703e device.  And since I had to erase the PocketMac software to install the new BB software, I now have no way to synch my Mac and BB.  Can anyone shed any light on this?

    You might check out the FileBrowser app on iTunes. I haven't used it, but it sounds like what you're after. When you say you can't use the Sierra iG2 with your iPad, I'm assuming you mean you can't plug it into the iPad. If it's plugged into a laptop and offering a WiFi hotspot, the iPad should be good with that. I use the Apple Camera Connection Kit to carry extra movies on an SD card. It uploads only to the Photos app, so no books, etc.

  • Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac won't open

    I've downloaded the Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac to begin synching my new Torch but when I try to launch the software, I get the following message.
    "The document “BlackBerry Desktop Software.mpkg” could not be opened. TextEdit cannot open files in the “Installer package” format."
    Has anyone encountered this and had any luck getting it to open?
    Any advice appreciated -- anxious to update my contacts and fully use my new phone!

    Hi choochoo2,
    Have you been able to try using a different USB port or to retry connecting after reinserting the BlackBerry battery? If so, try reinstalling the Desktop Software and retrying the connection.

  • Destktop software for Mac

    Hello,
    I recently posted a request for some help with Destop software for Macs in regard to trying to sync iCal with the Blackberry calendar on a Blackberry Torch 9800, and realised only after the post had been moved to another forum by the Moderator that I had posted in the wrong forum ie the Torch forum rather than the Desktop software forum. I apologise.
    However, the post has been put into a forum or on a board that appears to be locked so that although the post can be viewed no one can now reply to me. I would therefore be grateful if anyone could advise me where to repost this query, whilst observing the correct protocols, in the hope that someone will be able to help me.
    My original post is at the link below.

    The error has been corrected

  • Desktop Software for MAC allows only two way sync

    hi...
    I want help with the Blackberry desktop software for MAc. I am able to synce my phone, however there is no way in which I can do a one-way sync  - replacing all the data on the mac with the data of the phone...
    please let me kniw if there is any way of doing that
    thanks

    Isn't it simply because of the known problem with iCloud sync enabled?
    This operation makes the address book and calendar(s) invisible to BBDM as the data files are "removed" from the Mac and put "in the cloud"...
    Several posts are documenting the problem and suggest some alternatives or work around (by disabling iCloud).
    Look on the forum for additional details.
    Please don't forget to mark as "solved" if your question is replied and to "like" a useful reply to your post ;-)
