Software for imac intel

I am completely new to mac's. I got a new intel mac and I am wondering about software. Can I use an old version of say Dreamweaver on my computer or does it have to be a special version made to work with this new intel computer? Are there many software programs out there then that will work with this computer?
Thanks so much!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
A Mac OS X native version of Dreamweaver will work at least in Rosetta (the non-Intel native application environment which is transparent on Intel Macs whenever you load a PowerPC application that is Mac OS X native). Mac OS 9 versions of Dreamweaver will not. For more on Apple's migration to Intel, see my links here:
http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html#INTEL
Some PowerPC Mac OS X apps works fine in Rosetta, while others which are more driver dependent will have difficulty and need to wait for a Universal application to be made.

    I have tried and is doesnt' automatically load up when a program is placed in the drive.... its like it isn't reading it or something

    In addition to stedman's, you really should not need any software for your camcorder. What is it supposed to do? You already have software on your Mac to work with video: iPhoto and iMovie.
    Edit: take a look at this article:

  • 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.

  • Need genealogy program for imac intel

    I need genealogy program for new imac intel. My old program was for Apple G II S. Have viewed program called heredis mac x.2 but don't know if it is compatible for imac intel. All new territory for me. Thank you, Lisa

    Though I don't have an Intel Mac, I use both Heredis and Reunion. You could check with each company about Intel compatibility.
    I keep my file in both because the FH represents the greatest investment of time for anything on the computer. I want always to have a usable file so dont put all my eggs in one basket.
    Reunion is a bit more versatile inrespect of the fundamental structures but Heredis uses a different basic construction which I wanted as a reserve. Heredis is about £20 less expensive here in UK than Reunion.
    One specific thing about Heredis is that it stores the actual data file or files as documents in the user documents folder. You need to realise what these things are in said folder and not delete them by accident.
    The down side of using two different programmes is that of synchronisation. If you add new data in one app you need to add it manually in the other. I would never trust it to GEDCOM transfer to transfer all fields correctly especially if you have data in the more esoteric fields of any particular programme.
    Heredis has an ability to display a 3d tree showing all, I repeat all the relationships including the families of removed cousins etc rather like a complex organic molecule. It is zoomable and you can get text data displayed from any person box, any 'atom' ,to pursue the analogy. It has source and repository features just as good as the more expensive Reunion. It may be ruled out for some though. It has no tab to indicate the 'disposal' of a family member as being "abducted by aliens', whereas Reunion has!

  • 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.

  • Reasonably priced animation software for iMac

    I am retired and while not at all well off, I am appreciative of being in the position of not having to earn money any more. 
    I am currently absorbed in putting together several generations of family photos, movies and keepsakes in as interesting and historically as possible, using iMovie.  Unfortunately, iMovie is ok for fairly mundane taskes, If you can overcome it's restrictive/protective baises and malfunctions.
    Anyway, I am looking for a reasonably priced animation software to use as a general purpose interfacer for movies and stills and explanations were necessary.
    I have spent hours searching and testing softwares but found most lacking in facilities of one sort or another. Enough to make them not worth taking up room on my computer. I have deliberately avoided high end stuff costing many hundreds of £/$.  Especially Adobe. I find their software very difficult to even get started with. 
    Xara exteem pro 5 was my first choice but their animation software will not run on a Mach and in any case you cannot convert their Pro 5 animations to anything usefull format so I am stuck and pleeding for help.
    Can anyone recommend a animation software for iMac with broard facilities, similar to Xara Extreme Pro 5.   up to, say $200 ?

    What kind of animation do you want to do? 
    For animated humans is Poser Pro quite nice:

  • 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

  • Is there a virtual pc or Windows emulator for iMac intel duo?

    Hi there,
    I just got a new iMac intel duo last week and its fantastic. Unfornatuly I need to run a stock market program that only runs on windows...
    This is the only program that i need to run on the windows platform.
    I was told to get the intel duo as it was the way things were going and that I may have to wait for the software side of things to catch up.
    I currently have a workaround that is painfull, but I would like to have it all on the one machine...
    Is there a virtual pc version for the iMac intel duo or are there other emulators I could use??
    Desparate..
    iMac intel, 2G memory   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Thanks for the advice... does anyone else know of another product? I heard that the responce time for it wasn't good?
    Whats happening with Virtual PC?? is a new version comming out??

  • Photo Editing Software for the Intel Mac

    I've just gotten a Nikon D50 and am trying to figure out what software to purchase to use on my Intel Imac. Obviously something that runs natively would be ideal, but "good" performance would be enough. I'm just an amateur photographer looking to improve my pictures.
    Aperture is pricey and has gotten mixed reviews. Nikon is coming out with new Capture software next month (NX I believe), but it doesn't look like it will run natively on the Intel Mac.
    Photoshop Elements might be the ticket, though of course it won't run natively now. It will, I believe, allow for "spot" editing, something that the still-beta Lightroom won't do, and something I think I want to be able to do.
    Should I consider Boot Camp and PSE for Windows? Would that be a better experience than running the Mac version on my Intel machine? Looks like there's better pricing on the Windows version (at least on Ebay) than the Mac version, but so far I have resisted Boot Camp...hoping to stay out of the Windows world as much as possible.
    Is there something else I should be looking at?
    I know I'm all over the map here...I'm kind of confused, and just want to get to work making some of these pictures look better. Thanks.

    I have a similar question. I don't think I need all the power of Photoshop CS or GIMP, but is there a photo editing package that can change backgrounds of photos? For example, change a black background to white? Can iPhoto do this? Can Photoshop Elements run on iMac Intel? Can PS Elements do this kind of editing? Thanks.

  • Project/Task Management Software for iMac, iPad and iPhone

    Hi,
    I work at a Espresso Bars company in Sydney and we have a small but busy Design & Marketing department.  We're looking for the best, yet simplest software so we can manage all the marketing and design projects.
    I've seen a few good Online Management Software but they are quite expensive ($25+ per month per user).  The good thing about those systems is that you can access it from anywhere and people can collaborate, ask questions about a project, give feedback about a design, enter a new task or tick as completed, etc... And you can use it on an iMac, an iPad and an iPhone.
    I came across Projector for iMac and iPad, but it is not online, if you want to share the project from iMac to iPad you have to conect your iPad to your computer and sync it.  It also works by projects, so there is no way for you to see in a single screen all the projects you're currently working on and the process of them.  So, although it being very user friendly and excellent UI, not sure if it is what we want.
    I wanted to ask you if you know about another Project/Task Management Software that we can use on an iMac, iPad and perhaps and iPhone as well.  Something that you either buy the app once or if you have to pay a monthly fee it needs to be very low.  If it is online it would be much better! but everything would work I reckon.
    User friendly and good UI software are preferred.
    Thank you so much for your help!
    Cheers

  • What's the best quality and cheapest 1GB RAM seller for iMac Intel?

    I am looking to buy a 1GB RAM chip for my iMac Intel. However, this can be very expensive when bought straight from Apple. Where else can I get 1GB of RAM for a cheap price that will give me the quality I am looking for?
    iMac Intel   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   Currently have 512 MB RAM on iMac

    Yes, you can successfully use a single 1Gb module. You can just as well add a second one that isn't matched. However, it should be very easy to match RAM modules without buying the second one from Apple. To be "matched" they must both be same speed, same size, same number of component chips on both sides.
    Size is easy, both 1GB. Speed is easy, both PC2-5300 667MHz. Component chips - little black square or rectangular chips attached to one or both sides of the board. Count the number on each side of the board and duplicate that configuration and the two modules, one from Apple and one from xyz company, will be "matching" RAM. If there are 4 on the front and 4 on the back, buy another like that. If there are 8 on one side, and none on the other, buy another like that.
