Thinking about switch to mac

I am in need of a new computer. I am a long time user of pc's. But the company i have been using the customer service has went downhill. And of course everyone knows windows has it's many problems. So I was thinking about giving the mac a try this time. So I thought who better to ask than the people who have had some trouble with their mac. And see if they still recommend it. Little info about me I have a small constuction company. So it will mainly be used for accounting type things. Tracking money, bid, estimates etc. I seen the imac comes with Quicken installed. How does this program work on the mac? I use it now on my pc. And it does pretty much everything i need. I guess my main thing is how is this computer for running a small company? Or is there a different mac that would work better for this? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, you can run a business on a Mac. Quicken is available on Mac as is QuickBooks. Are you running a business using Quicken? In any case, the features are not the same for the Mac versions. It seems many people complain about the lack of abilities in the Mac version of QuickBooks Pro quite often. There is another program called MYOB. Not my cup of tea but some like it. Point is there are small business financial software packages for the Mac. The other programs like Keynote, Pages, Outliner, Mail, Safari, iPhoto all help in running your business as do many dashboard widgets.
Next, the new iMacs have moved onto Intel processors and Universal Binary. Some applications are Universal already and some require Rosetta to run in the Mac OS. Unless you are a professional or at least use the Adobe products on a regular basis you don't really see a slowdown. Separate from this is a downloadable beta program called Boot Camp. This allows you to boot into Windows XP (which you have to purchase and install). Once in XP you can run your Windows apps just like you did on that old PC. So, you could just bring over your PC files (oh wait, do PCs have the ability to migrate like a Mac does?) Anyway...
Then, you need to find which printer it is and determine if it is just a Dell shell over another manufacturers product in which case the driver may very well already be in the Mac OS. Again, if you are running XP then you should be able to use it anyway. If you really want to buy a new printer then look around the online retailers. They often bundle a printer and/or RAM with the purchase of a new iMac.

  • Thinking about switching to Mac from Windows, Good Idea?

    I've always had a PC and I've never really used or work with a Mac.  I'm a little questionable about buying one.  What all do I need to know about Macs?  I plan on using it for college and personal reasons. I hardly do anything outside of my house with my laptop. I've got an iPad and an iPhone which is what lead me to buying a Mac. I've done some research myself, but I don't know whether the Macbook Air or the Macbook Pro would be better for my uses.  Is it better to go for the 512GB flash storage or should the 256GB work out fine? I've got a lot of questions, so sorry in advance.
    Thanks for the help!

    Storage size depends on use. If you store a huge photo and video library, go with the 256GB.

  • Since my G5 died I was thinking about getting a Mac Mini, but I have a ViewSonic Monitor (from 2004) and a USB keyboard and mouse - I also have the external drive tha downloaded my files on to. Do you think the monitor, keyboard and mouse will work on it?

    Since my G5 died I was thinking about getting a Mac Mini, but I have a ViewSonic Monitor (from 2004) and a USB keyboard and mouse - I also have the external drive that I downloaded my files on to. Do you think the monitor, keyboard and mouse will work on it? Would I have to get a hub so I could use the stuff I already have? Is that viewsonic too old to work on it?
    What else would I need? Please advise...

    Yes for keyboard and mouse.
    The monitor will work if it has an HDMI, VGA ir DVI input. If it only has a VGA input you will need this adopter

  • Thinking about switching

    I'm thinking about buying a Mac but I'm having a hard time trying to find answers to my questions. Such as the principle differences between standard computers and Macs and if my progrmas will work on a Mac. Even navigating this site isn't that easy.

    Hi cyras:
    ...what to expect?
    IMO, the best computing experience of your life: seamless interconnectivity; elegant, inspiring design; an extremely intuitive interface; all told, a computer that makes you more productive, enhances your creativity and actually makes computing fun.
    Is Macs operating system as simple to use [as Windows OS]
    IMO, and in the opinion of many others, Mac OS X blows Windows (any flavor) out of the water, from a number of perspectives -- security, stability, ease of use, efficiency, the list goes on....
    Will my MS Money be compatible or does Mac have a simular program? What programs are available for surfing the internet?
    You know, of course, that you could Google the answers to all of these questions, right? So, I'm not going to do that for you, except to say that Turbotax works on both platforms; Quicken makes a version for the Mac that (I'm told) does just about everything that MS Money does; and, while OS X includes a sweet web browser called Safari that does pretty much everything that Internet Explorer does, there are a whole host of other (Mac compatible) Web surfing apps out there, many of which rank higher than either IE or Safari in tech mags and like, such as Firefox, OmniWeb and others. This article from MacWorld has lots of good info: http://www.macworld.com/2005/09/reviews/browserrdp/index.php
    Now, If I were you, I'd start Googling and research the answers to your specific questions, and, when you're done, run don't walk to your nearest Apple Store.
    Good luck.

  • Thinking about switching from single-app to full CC. Is it possible to switch back at a later date or am I committed to a year of full membership?

    Hi there,
    I'm currently paying for Flash but it looks like I may have to use Photoshop and After Effects too, so I was thinking about switching to the full plan. However if I don't end up needing Photoshop or After Effects is it possible to downgrade my membership to single-app in the future?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Thinking of switching to mac

    Hi there.
    I am thinking of getting a intel duo imac.
    im a linux person, so im not into
    all the user friendly stuff, yet i was very impressed
    by mac os x; the integration of power user abilities with a terminal, and stunning user interface is great. but, however, i do like gaming on windows (counter strike: source, combat flight sims, Age of empires 3).
    so first off:
    Linux! anybody get some gentoo running on thier mac?
    how does it work compared to x86 linux?
    windows stuff: games, mainly. yet maybe that educational program, demo disk, and that random program that has been not been ported to mac.
    whats the best windows emulator? is it necessary to
    use some commercial products like microsoft virtaulPC? VMware? can you get by on linux's wine? cedega? crossover office?
    so basically:
    do emulators on linux work? if so do free ones?
    if not, is there a mac version of wine? how does
    virtual PC work on the intel?
    Sorry for the huge post, but im quite curious and i want to ditch windows already!
    thanks
    troy

    I'm only going to address your first point, being that I've not the energy in me to strain my brain for exceeding information. Anyway, you mentioned that you're not really into "user friendly stuff." Obviously we all know what you mean by this, but there's a few things you need to know before making that assumption. Yes, for the average Safari browsing Mail sending iChat chatting buyer, Mac OS X is extremely friendly, and is barley an effort. But it can get much more complicated if you want it to. I just switched to Mac from many years of Windows XP, and I must say, Windows is more user friendly in a general sense. I can sit here and honestly say that Mac OS X takes more general knowledge to run than does Windows, and I'm happy with this. Many, and I mean many, make the false assumption that "Mac is too easy, Windows is hardcore!" That's totally false, and pains me to hear/read. Running the OS isn't all in black and white like Windows, and it takes getting used to and learning the OS to run it smoothly, and to your liking. Now, I've never used Linux, but I'm going to finish by saying switching to Mac will never be a mistake.

  • Thinking about switching to Intel Mac Mini... questions for the cognoscenti

    Greetings:
    I've been checking out the new Intel Mac Minis and I was thinking of purchasing one to replace my AV computer (PC) in the living room, which the GF currently uses. She's a typical user: watches video files/DVDs, uses iTunes excessively , sends web email and surfs the Net.
    I've fairly decided on an Intel Core Duo Mini. Since I know the basics about Mac, I had a few questions:
    1. What's an appropriate amount of RAM for a non-power user? Would 1 GB be more than enough or overkill? I'm used to running 1GB in a Windows machine. Plus, I'm also used to popping in memory when I needed to upgrade, and I see that's not really an option on the Mini.
    2. How would I integrate it into a Windows network? Would the Mini be able to share files with a Windows machine and vice versa?
    3. Regarding network integration: how easily would the Mini integrate into an existing Linksys 802.11g home network?
    Lastly, this isn't really an (easily) answerable question, but how easy do you think it would be for an average computer user to get up and running on a Mac after having used Windows machines all their life?
    Thanks, I look forward to your responses.

    Hello, I can only really answer Q's 1 & 3 as I've only owned a mini for the past 24 hours.
    I purchased the Single Core after taking advice of the Apple Store staff in Manchester, they were quite helpful. I only really produce music (have used Ableton, Acid Pro etc on PC for quite a while), surf the web, do my banking etc so was advised that the Single Core with 512mb would be sufficent. I work for an ISP and have 10 years plus knowledge of Windows but I was prepared to listen and learn having never used a mac before. From my own experience, I'm used to having to use a pc with minimum spec ie min 1.2GHz processor, 1gb ram in order to produce music without any pops or clicks (latency), though sound cards also play a part. I've also had to keep internet activity well away from any PC that I produce music on in that respect. Anyhow, I'm going off on a tangent here but I was playing around with garageband last night and I've never known music production to run so smoothy on 512mb RAM, never known it before so was extremely impressed and certain I made the right purchase opting for Solo Core. You may not actually NEED the full 1gb though this depends what you're doing. To answer your other question, my mac slotted straight into my home nertwork without making any additional configuration.
    i.e how long does it take to get used to a mac, I've found there is a learning curve but it's not THAT difficult, it's just the odd thing such as no right click of the mouse that takes some getting used to.

  • Thinking about switching to Windows

    This is not meant to be a Os X vs Windows thread. I dont think one platform is better than the other, but they have different strengths and weaknesses. What I want to hear is what kind of pitfalls I can expect in regards to live video performance if I go down the Windows way.
    Reason I`m asking is:
    My Macbook Pro recently died, so I borrowed my friends HP Laptop with similiar specs. He has used it alot for music production, sound of movies etc, and quite a decent graphics card (6xxxm 1gb ati radeon) I wanted to connect a Matrox Dualhead2go to two 1280 x 800 projectors using Resolume. However, I encountered nothing but problems all the way. Couldnt dual monitor resolutions, display went black, drivers stopped working, program had to restart. When it worked, it worked well, but I think I aged 10 years during that gig.
    Before that I wanted to buy a stationary shuttle PC, top of the line, 7970 radeon 3gb, Ivy bridge, Dell Touch Screen etc, but now I got a little scared of doing the switch.Having used Macbook Pro`s ever since I started VJìng, I`m very much used to plug and play using Triplehead2go, it just works. I usually use crossplatform software (resolume, after effects) but I also use motion and modul8 from time to time. I can live without however. The simplest choice is to buy a Macbook Pro, I know it, it works. But I like the idea of multiple choices in hardware, the ability to make a semi transportable shuttle and to be able to connect 6 projectors using eyefinity as some promoters have asked me to do bigger shows. Portability is important, but since I drag around 3 + projectors, the extra 10kg`s is not so important.
    So to all Windows VJ`s out there (or people with experience from both platforms) what kind of headaches can I expect if I make the switch? I`m a quite tech savvy guy (learn fast) even though I dont have much experience with the windows platform.
    1. Do you experience driver issues and troubles related to that?
    2. I`m not dependant of Syphon, but I would love to see a Windows version eventually. Do you think that is likely to happen during the next couple of years?
    3. Blue Screen of death or other strange issues?
    4. I have always wanted to get into Quartz Composer to create patches and effects for Resolume, but is there a equavilent Windows version?
    5. I`ve always been drooling over this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxvQw0GVH2c, which is one reason I always wanted a PC.
    6. Slower performance over time using Windows? Or is that a thing of the past?
    7. Is the Os X video engine better than the one Windows is using?
    8. Any video software for windows that currently doesnt work in os x?
    9. Can you predict the future? is Apple leaving the pro market? Is Windows on a comeback?
    Hope this post is clear enough. I`m asking what I`m likely to miss out on, what I can expect, what headaches and what new possibilities comes with changing from Mac Os X to Windows. As my computer broke, now is the time for change, if ever. Hope to get some constructive replies guys!

    Good luck, but I doubt that you will. This is a Mac user forum; your questions are about Windows and would be better suited to a Windows forum.
    As for Q9, the moderators have a habit of removing posts that speculate about Apple's future direction.

  • Advice on what Mac to get? Thinking about either a Mac Pro or iMac...

    I am a graphic designer. I have a Power Mac G5 (older model before Intel) at home. I love it! Want to upgrade but it works for now. Anyways at work (I am the only designer) everyone uses a PC (including me) but I am getting my Christmas gift. They will be ordering me a new Mac! Problem is I'd like some advice as to what I should get. I was originally thinking of the Mac Pro G5 (tower) but then started wondering if an iMac would be a better option. Most of what I do is Adobe Creative Suite programs (but currently I have so many problems with it taking forever to open and save some of the files I am working with especially in Illustrator I am working on a map that is about 21,000 KB). We will be upgrading to CS4. I want to get something that will last for several years and speed up my time. I become impatient when having to wait on my computer to save or edit something. Also, is there any advice on connecting to a windows network. I am not an IT type and everyone here is familiar to Windows. Thanks!

    Mac Pro is the only answer. And like already said, hold on for end January and MacWorld Expo to see what might come along. Intel promises great things in the next few months, the floating point arithmetic spec for the new Intel Nehalem processors show nearly a 100% increase in speed from the current top-end Penryn processors:
    http://www.techradar.com/news/computing-components/processors/world-exclusive-in tel-s-dual-socket-nehalem-ep-platform-benchmarked-487131
    And you may start to see 4-core processors even in the iMacs. This is the Intel way forward, more cores, 6 cores, 8 cores, up to 80 cores, but little increase in clock speed over 3GHz.
    Can't promise Mac Pro will get the new processors in January, could be Snow Leopard time, a very late xmas present then.

  • Thinking about switching over to Java for EMAIL software I wrote

    Hi...
    I am the current author of a unique EMAIL client/server program for the old MS-DOS operating system called D'Bridge. It is from the BBS days of Fidonet and I've recently began recoding some elements of the program to facilitate Internet support and whatnot. D'Bridge is over 20 years old and is written half in Borland Pascal 5.5 and half in Visual BASIC for DOS.
    After careful thinking (and one of those "wouldn't it be cool?" thoughts), I'm thinking of rewriting the entire code in JAVA to have a platform independant solution. I would like to write a "server" edition which would serve Web, POP3/SMTP, FTP and Telnet users in addition to legacy Fidonet support via. traditional dialup modem lines. I would then like to write a "client" edition which would be totally slimmed-down to run on PDA's such as Palm OS or Windows CE.
    I generally am new to the language but I'm going to take an entire printout of my current work and then go step-by-step into an OOP transition - D'Bridge was obviously written before the days of OOP and therefore makes heavy use of global variables, assembly language and other elements. Nearly half of the code is entirely devoted to controlling the menu system and screen elements - you could say that I'd like to use Java to concentrate more on what D'Bridge does instead of what it looks like. :-)
    I guess I'm looking for any advice, feedback, criticism, encouragement, words of wisdom, whatever you want to call it. After studying the fundimentals of the language, I believe I can make the transition but need to know from you guys if a full-blown server package is possible - because thats what my DOS application is doing now, with a loyal and dedicated fan club that just loves it.
    Nick

    but need to know from you guys if a full-blown server
    package is possible Yes.
    JBoss and Tomcat are two free frameworks that exist solely to act as servers to support different parts of the documented J2EE API.
    There are commercial versions that support the same framework as well as other types of solutions including forum software (like this site), middleware, message systems, Network Management Systems, etc.
    And those are just the ones that I know about (and which I have implemented commercial solutions as well.)

  • Thinking About Switching To Getting an iPhone. But some Questions. .. .?

    My Verizon wireless contract will reach its end in January of 2008. I will then be free to choose another provider if i choose so and iphone with att looks appealing.
    But before i make the switch i have some concerns and question i'd like to be answered:
    What is the initial start up cost for getting an iPhone?
    I'm assuming,
    the iPhone at $399
    and then either the $59.99 or $79.99 monthly bill right?
    Or is there some sort of hidden fee such as a connection or new customer fee or whatever?
    Also, Free internet to go online but is it realible? I'm hearing it's super slow and it's a crowded network. Anyone clarify on this?
    Next, I use Gmail and it syncs perfectly (and free) to "Mail" in my Macbook. Can I get mail for free on my iPhone with my Gmail account?
    Even though Cingular is now the new Att, Do Rollover Minutes still apply?
    And finally, is it worth it?

    Decemberist wrote:
    So with the rollover minutes, i will be living in china for about 3-7 months in China starting in May of 2008. Does that mean all those months of minutes will just add up while i'm out of the country?
    Yes, except they expire after 12 months (rolling, so the oldest minutes disappear first).
    If you are planning to use your iPhone in China beware of roaming charges and high data charges. AT&T offers international calling and data plans that mitigate this a little (e.g., calls in China are $1.99/minute instead of $2.29, and the data plan for $25 extra a month gives you 20 MB free and $5 a megabyte after that, compared to $20 a megabyte without the plan).
    I use my smartphone when in China (haven't been back since I got the iPhone), but primarily to receive calls to my US number. I also have a quad band basic GSM phone that I put a China Mobile prepaid SIM card in when there. This makes me reachable by my associates in China without them dialing an international number, and also reduces the cost of all calls dramatically (e.g., 3 cents/minute in China, 30 cents to the US, billed in 6 second increments.)

  • Thinking about switching but....

    Are there any discounts to be had, other than the employer ones?  I am considering switching from Sprint (my current provider) but Verizon's fees seem really high to me.
    I should probably also mention that I am a customer of Verizon TV, Fios and my land line with Verizon too.  Maybe that can help me for a discount?
    Any insight, thoughts, tips or tricks  would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    In my experience, the customer service reps are helpful with analyzing my usage and recommending ways to cut my bill (at least when I'm eligible for an upgrade, ha!), but you have to call and ask. Since you use other Verizon services and may sign a two-year contract, I think they'd put together a pretty good bundle price. I'm not aware of discounts beyond employer, but I do deduct a large portion of my bill as a business expense because I'm self-employed.

  • I have an iPhone 4S I am thinking about switching to the galaxy s3 because of the humongous screen, apple need a bigger iPhone, should I switch to an s3 or wait to see what apple will bring us

    Should I switch to a galaxy s3 because of the huge screen or should I wait for apple to bring a bigger iphone

    The s3 is a great phone, yes the screen is huge, no more squinting to read anything and also feels good in the hand unlike the strange size of the iPhone 5. Nice thing about android in general is how customizable it is. If you don't like the keyboard use a different one, use widgets to get to data right from the home screen rather than opening the app, unlock your phone with a pass code, pattern or facial recognition, tons of other options.
    Down side about it, like the iPhone it has a mechanical home button, which will wear out.

  • I own a license for Dreamweaver CS6 for Windows.  I am thinking about buying a MAC.  How can I convert my license to work on a MAC?

    Is there a software update I can purchase to convert my license to work on a MAC? How much is it?  Or are there any other options?

    Depending on what Adobe considers "current software" you may or may not be able to perform a Platform Swap...
    Order product | Platform, language swap
    Since they do currently sell both the PC and Mac version of the CS6 Suite, I would guess they can do the swap. If not, moving to a CC Subscription does allow you to have the software installed on either or both platforms without issue.
