Wats the best msn messenger to use on your mac ?

whats the best msn messenger to use on the mac + how do you use ichat ??? iv no idea how that works !!! never got a aol account or what ever !! only have msn + gmail

I tried a few different ones, adium was alright, but i prefer just the regular msn for mac. It was weird when I first switched over, but now I like it better than msn for windows. It has a few less options, but nothing is missing that I frequently used. The best messenger for you probably depends on what features you want to have.

  • What is the best scanning program to use with a Mac?

    I have recently bought a Mac. On my last PC, I used a program called Paperport to scan (very fast), sort and file all my documents, but it's not compatible with Macs. Please can somebody recommend an equivalent? TIA

    Although its not focused on document processing, VueScan (http://www.hamrick.com) is a great all-round scanning utility. Its especially useful when your scanner is an older model and the manufacturer is no longer updating its drivers.

  • Need some input for the best laser printer to use on a Mac Pro

    I have a Mac Pro and am now, a year later, looking for a laser printer. I do not want an ink jet as I do not print enough paper and the jets tend to clog up and the ink dry out, hence the laser.
    I have looked at several different ones, and read the online reviews. Many of them have problems with the drivers for a Mac. I ordered an HP Laserjet P1006 (but have not actually bought it yet) since it was on sale.
    Anyone have experience with this printer? What worked best for you - and by this I mean what printer will work out of the box without having to go online and download drivers, etc.?
    Thanks for your help.

    You might do better using the review information from CNET.com or Macworld.com. I find examining both user reviews and editor choices from the former quite helpful when buying new equipment.
    Personally, I've used HP printers in the past but that's some time back. I have an older HP PhotoSmart printer that has been fine. I also have a Lexmark 510n that I'm happy with, but it's been replaced by a newer model I believe. Works quite well and was OS X compatible out of the box after downloading the driver. Apple has since released a whole new pack of Lexmark drivers for OS X. I also have an old TekTronix laser printer that was quite good in its day. Both laser printers are color.
    I tend to avoid the low-end printers. Cheap is cheap. If there's a $100 laser printer and a $500 one I'd go with the $500 model all things being equal. They generally cost more because they are better built and have better features. I also would prefer models with Ethernet support. I would prefer this to any USB printer or wireless printer - more likely to be less trouble and it isn't necessary to share an Ethernet printer if you have more than one computer on your network.

  • What is the best encryption algorithm to use on a Mac

    If I'm using a program like cryptor-1.51, what is most reliable encryption algorithm I could use with it?

    Ask the developer. BTW, they claim you can use Blowfish, RC2, RC4, RC5, DES, and AES
    (128,192 and 256-bit) encryption schemes.

  • What is the best way to get Windows for your Mac?

    I want to be able to run windows on my Macbook Pro. How do I go about getting windows?

    System 7 is not the same thing as 10.7.  10.7 came out in 2011.  System 7 came out in 1991.  You can't download Windows, however you can install it on these virtualization engines:

  • Which is the best MIDI interface to use with Logic 7 ?

    Hi folks :o)
    Firstly, thanks all for any advice you can give. I'm a pro user, but right in the middle of a major upgrade (G4/OS9/CubaseVST32 >> G5/OSX/CubaseSX3/Logic7) & feel a huge learning curve coming on!
    The situation is this:
    I have a Steinberg Midex 8 midi interface, plus a MOTU MTPav in the cupboard. The Midex took place of the MTPav because it had much better midi timing under OS9 with Cubase... The Midex8 drivers for OSX, however, are still beta & a pile of rubbish. (It keeps losing communication with the G5.) I'm fed up with how bad Steinberg have been sorting (not!) these problems out (not to mention the fact that Cubase SX3 can't recognise my 'studio' created in Audio Midi Setup either.. arghh!), so I'm considering jumping ship & going entirely to Logic in one hit, plus whichever is the best midi-interface for this software & OSX.
    As food for thought, I'm currently thinking of tracking down a 'Unitor 8', having made the (perhaps wrong) assumption that it'd work 'best' with Logic seeing as it was made by Emagic. BUT, despite a lengthy search in Logic 7's manuals & this forum, I can't find any mention of Emagic's 'Active Midi Transmission' protocol & whether or not Logic 7 supports it; AMT is the only reason I'd buy the Unitor. (I've got all the other bases covered with the MTPav.) I'm also concerned about the long-term support issues regarding drivers for the Unitor 8 & OSX; ****, I'm having enough problems with Steinberg & their Midex 8 (which is still a current product in theory!) without throwing Emagic & a midi interface that's no longer manufactured into the pot...
    So..... What do you folks feel is the best midi interface to use with Logic 7 as regards tight midi timing & system reliability? Can anyone out there with a big midi setup categorically say "I've got one (or more) of these MIDI interfaces, it works beautifully under OSX & Logic 7, & the MIDI timing is rock-solid, even when put under heavy midi 'duress' " ??
    Many thanks again in advance for any feedback!
    Your new Logic Pro virgin ;o)
    Jason

    Thanks for your reply folks. It's good to hear a number of you are having good results with your MTPav - I guess I'll pull mine out of the cupboard in that case!
    As an aside, it's been interesting to note how difficult it's been to get a clear answer from companies (be it shops or Apple) as to whether or not Logic 7 supports 'Active Midi Transmission' on the old Unitor 8 MkII..... (The reference manual has one mention of it in the index, yet points to a page that doesn't say anything about AMT at all!)
    If anyone here DOES have a clear answer about AMT with Logic 7, I'd be very interested to hear about it... thanks.
    Kind regards,
    JC

  • What is the best backup drive to use to backup a windows xp pc and to transfer that data to a new iMac i5 May 2011 and then to backup my iMac on it?

    What is the best backup drive to use to backup my windows xp pc and to transfer these files to my iMac i5 new in May 2011 and then to backup my i5 iMac?

    Get something with both USB and Firewire connections, as big as you can afford.  Format it Fat 32, plug it into the XP machine with USB, drag and drop the files you want to keep, plug it into the iMac with Firewire, drag and drop again.  If you want to use it just to back up your Mac in future, reformat it Mac OS Extended and enable Time Machine.  If you're likely to want to share the drive with Windows PCs in future, leave it Fat 32.

    Yeah, I know I can restore it, but I might as well go ahead and try. I just finished a backup for icloud and itunes to make sure, I'll go ahead and restore it and set it up as new and see how that works. Seems like I have no other options at this point, I'd still like to know what they did with the Download tab in itunes store, if they removed it or if I'm just overlooking it.

    Someday - and no one knows when that day will come - maybe all applications will be able to take advantage of the Retina display. But for the present, not many do: including all Adobe applications. There was a demo of Photoshop at the Apple World Wide Developers Conference of Photoshop running at native Retina resolutions but no one at Adobe in marketing is saying when, if or how the upgrade may be coming. It could be a week, it could be a year, it could be 2-3 years. No one knows. And only Apple app's (for the main part) are really utilizing the native Retina display.
    I've seen some demos of some applications (Apple's) that take advantage of the Retina display and they're awesome. But in actually working in the here-and-now I've heard quite a few gripes, particularly on the Photoshop forum, of menus looking pixelated and/or 'blurry' so I'm not quite ready to jump into the Retina display boat just now. Don't get me wrong - others have ad are very, very pleased with their selection. But until Retina displays are available on larger monitors, the maximum work area that you're going to be able to use is 15" - and that's simply not enough room for full-blown graphic design. Then there's the cost factor - for the $4,000+ you spend for a completely full-blown Retina kit, you can get a standard MacBook Pro, 16 GB of RAM, a fast SSD and even the Apple Thunderbolt Display for the same amount.
    The standard MacBook Pro isn't better than the Retina display: it's just different. And I think (and this is only my opinion - other graphic designers should feel free to jump in here) that it's the best computer that you can get for your specific purposes. And, towards that goal, I have to recommend a very good external monitor (there's nothing more annoying than having to use InDesign in a single-page mode rather than side-by-side because your monitor isn't big enough).
    Remember that this is only my opinion and that others might jump in with their own. But I was in the electronic pre-press business for more years than I care to admit and we always - always - worked with at least 19" monitors (and that's back when dinosaurs actually ruled the world).
    I hope that others will jump in with their comments. I'm going to follow this thread and see!
    Good luck,
    Clinton

  • The best compression algorithm to use

    Hello Suners,
    I have a 7 GB file and i need to compress it to be 2 GB at most in order to upload it and download it faster.
    What is the best compression algorithm to use in this case? can i get the desired size and if i do how could i decompress it?

    abulseed wrote:
    OK,
    in fact it's not just a one file it's a folder containing number of files with different types the total size of them is 7GB,
    is there an algorithm can compress that folder to at most 2GB and if there one give me a link.You seem to be missing the point that it's the actual data in the files that matters for compression. A 7 GB file consisting of the words "Hello World" over and over again will compress quite significantly. A 7GB image file on the other hand will not compress hardly at all.
    Take the java.util.zip package read [http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/Programming/compression/] and try for yourself with your data. If you are hoping to compress unknown data from 7Gb to 2GB the answer is that that promise is impossible to make.

  • What is the best media player to use on iBook  500MHZ, 576MB RAM

    Can anyone advise me what is the best media player to use to play .avi files on my iBook. I have tried using Quicktime (7.6.4) with Perian installed and it is very choppy. I have also tried VLC (0.8.6i)and that's not much better.
    My iBook is 500MHZ, 40GB HDD, 576MB RAM running MAC OS X 10.4.11 with all updates installed. I have also disabled dashboard and spotlight but that's not made much difference.
    Many thanks
    Garry

    Well, now, isn't that interesting?
    I left my iBook G3 800 MHz in Mac OS X 10.3 because I believed that upgrading to 10.4 would tax it too much. Others have successfully run 10.4 on their iBook G3s, and with the upgraded hard drive, I would have thought you'd be okay with it.
    I generally don't do more than one upgrade of the OS past what my Mac came with. When I want to upgrade further, I upgrade my Mac.
    I'm glad you figured out something that would work for you. Posting back to let us know may help someone else in the future, so thank you for that.

  • My computer is part of the iMac 1TB Seagate Hard Drive replacement program. What is the best external modem to use in order to back up my files prior to me dropping off my computer.

    My computer is part of the iMac 1TB Seagate Hard Drive replacement program. What is the best external modem to use in order to back up my files prior to me dropping off my computer.

    As Babowa says, get an external disk.  You should have one for normal backups anyway.
    Actually, I'm a strong fan of having multiple backups.  3 copies including the original, 2 different backup formats, and 1 backup off-site.
    And when you have your iMac in for service, if you have just 1 backup at that point in time you have just 1 copy of your data.  I get paranoid about my data.
    But if you are just making 1 backup, I would use SuperDuper (free for a full clone, and extremely good software, as is Carbon Copy Cloner, but it is not free anymore).
    And then I would "Boot" from the clone, to make sure it was a good clone.
    Booted from the clone, I would then use Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility to zero the original disk, as suggested by Babowa, so that when they replace the disk, the original disk containing your data is not in the hands of strangers.  A single pass of zeros is more than good enough as an erase, as the chances are no one is going to spend the money needed to try and read the erased data.  It is not like you have any super secret data, just stuff you do not want the casual data theif to get.  You will find the zeroing options under Disk Utility -> Erase -> Security Options
    Just make sure you actually boot from your clone before erasing your original.  And if you are paranoid like me, make 2 backups, then erase the original :-)
