What do I do to get Reader for a Mac?

I bought the $199 version of Adobe XL but when I downloaded it was an .exe file.  As a mac user I need a .dmg file.  Any ideas on how to best correct this? 

Exactly.  I have reader without any problem.  My goal is to be able to
convert pdf to word etc.  I figured to go all out and get the xl package
etc.  Somehow I¹ve ended up buying the windows version which does me no good
on a mac.  Obviously this is/was a preventable user mistake on my part but I
was wondering what I should do to correct this self-made mess.  Any help is
appreciated.  Thanks. John

    Thank you!

    There are many that will work just fine. I've been very happy with the units from Other World Computing:

    but there are other brands and vendors that are also quite good. If your MacBook has a Firewire port, a Firewire-equipped drive will give you the best performance.

  • What is the best cf card reader for ipad 3 available in uk

    what is the best compact flash reader for the ipad 3, available in the uk that works with ios6.  thks

    You asked about CF, which is Compact Flash (which is larger than and different from SD cards). CF is used typically in higher end digital cameras.
    Here is the CF reader I recommend:
    Hoodman USB 3.0 Raw Steel UDMA Card Reader for CompactFlash and SD Cards
    http://www.adorama.com/HNRAWUSB3.html?utm_source=ET&utm_medium=TransactionalEmai l&utm_campaign=2point0Product1
    (also available from other sellers, including Amazon and many camera stores simply stock it on their shelf)
    This product reads two kinds of cards -- CF and SD. It is very good at doing those two things (as opposed to cheap readers that read 20+ types of cards and are flimsy and don't work all that well and don't last).
    This Hoodman device is ruggedly built, largely metal, and has a special pin guard "drop door" that protects the numerous delicate pins in the reader from accidental damage, which is what often happens to these CF readers -- namely a few of the many delicate pins get bent unintentionally after a period of use. This has been the bane of CF and its readers, those many delicate pins. This Hoodman design directly addresses the issue and from the reviews I've read and my daughter's experience with it, they seem to have succeeded.
    It comes with USB 3.0, which is very fast (if you have the 3.0 port), and it works as USB 2.0 if you have the older interface. It reads the latest and fastest of the CF cards as well.

  • What is the best soft wear update for a mac desktop with   System Version:     Mac OS X 10.5.8

    What is the best soft wear update for a mac desktop with   System Version:
    Mac OS X 10.5.8

    It will depend on the actual model you have.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99 while Mavericks is free. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard — Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service — this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion or Mavericks
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion or Mavericks you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion or Mavericks (Free) from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion — System Requirements
         OS X Mavericks- System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) —
                 Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later

             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) — Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
    Are my applications compatible?

  • What are good quality speakers to purchase for mini mac

    what are good quality speakers to purchase for mini mac?

    While I can't recommend any brand of camera, you should consider a couple of things about the editing... iMovie 8 is a good program to use if you just need to create something quickly with little real editing and sound manipulation. And iM 8 will interface with both DV tape cameras as well as hard disk/flash drive types as well. You can export the product to web services, etc very easily but it will take some extra effort to create a DVD from the edited shots. There is no direct export to iDVD.
    If you want to get more serious about editing, you should consider looking iMovie 6 as it has much more flexibility in rearranging clips, adding and editing sounds, etc. However, it will only interface with DV tape cameras, which by the way, are the highest quality pics available, and you can create DVD disks.
    You might try borrowing a tape camera to make a test run and compare it to a camera that uses a HD for storage. Use iM 8 and compare to ease, etc, and the product to one created in iM 6. This certainly is not the kind of recommendation you are asking for, but maybe will help in making your decision about which way to go.

  • What is the best blue-ray drive for my Mac Pro????

    What is the best blue-ray drive for my Mac Pro????
    I wanted a BWU-200S but it says windows only i called apple
    and all they could tell me was logitech....wouldn't tell me a model
    or anything.
    I would really like one that does all the formats and feature that the
    Sony BWU-200S does.
    I read that the BWU-200S might work in the mac pro it just only comes with
    windows software. If anyone has tried this let me know please i need this soon.

    This site makes Mac compatible Blueray drives:
    http://store.fastmac.com/index.php?cPath=10252
    The questions to ask them is:
    1. Which applications can be used to burn bluray movies from it?
    2. Which applications can be used to playback commercial bluray from it?
    3. Does it let you burn DVDs from iDVD, iTunes and the Finder as well as CDs and CD-RWs?
    4. Does it support both DVD-R DL and DVD+R DL for burning and playback?
    5. Does it allow for booting from the system installer that shipped with the machine and running the hardware test that shipped with the machine?
    6. Do you get to keep the original optical drive in case you want to troubleshoot if system issues are due to their drive?
    Some of these may already be on the website, I just haven't taken the time to look it completely over.

    A lot depends on the size you want...physical size, I mean...see what they have at OWC, http://www.macsales.com I have thee of there drives and they are great...compatible and already formatted out-of-the-box.  But it is still better to format and partition yourself to set them up your way.

  • What are some good visual effects programmes for the Mac?

    I have been editing with Final Cut Express since 05 and I want to be able to do fancy visual effects I cannot do with Final Cut Express so I put it to you; what are some good visual effects programmes for the Mac? I know there is Adobe After Effects but I am wondering if there are any others, including from Apple.

    Or does it? Because by purchasing Motion, you also get the Pro Res codecs and Animation. Will FCE be able to work with them if they're in your QT library? I think so but am not positive. I'd check with the FCE gurus in that discussion forum.
    So I half answered my own question. FCE will respect the alpha channel in a PR 4444 file. But from the limited testing I was able to to, there doesn't seem to be a way to export it ( or other flavors of PR) as a PR sequence. It renders as AIC, which is fine. FWIW, it can always be exported as Pro Res via QT Conversion, but why bother?
    However,  I now have to say – despite what I said in my first post – that I'm not 100% percent certain that the all the codecs will be available by buying Motion. I'm like 95% sure, the more I think about it. But I have too much NLE and graphics "stuff" on my systems to test it conclusively.

  • What is a recommended internal hard drive for a Mac Pro 1,1 (2006)?

    What is a recommended internal hard drive for a Mac Pro 1,1 (2006) model? I would like to
    add more hard drive space by utilizing the three available slots. However, from my understanding,
    Apple does not produce hard drives for my older computer so I'll need to turn to a third party.

    You are very much over-due for some new larger more efficient drives.
    the most common best approach goes something like this....
    SSD 120GB for system
    WD Black 1-2TB for data (and  put all your data and media files, all your home account sub-folders)
    Backup. I use WD Green but use what you want. I have a small boot volume, TimeMachine, and 3rd that is a clone image of the boot drive volume.
    Very fond of WD 10K VelociRaptor drives. Not much louder now than the WD Black 2TB, $100-200 for 250GB to 1TB.
    You can use any size SATA 3.5" drive, most now are 1TB and up to 4TB.
    You should have always bought Amazon or Newegg or outside of Apple, Apple can often charge 3x what those places charge.
    Probably want to add or replace FBDIMMs you have, these are excellent and price in the last year has fallen.
    2x2GB FBDIMM DDR2 667MHz @ $29
    http://www.amazon.com/BUFFERED-PC2-5300-FB-DIMM-APPLE-Memory/dp/B002ORUUAC/
    WD Black 1TB $93
    http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Caviar-Internal-Desktop/dp/B0036Q7MV0/
    WD Green 3TB $149 - backup
    http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Caviar-Green-Desktop/dp/B004RORMF6/
    WD VR 10K 250GB $103 200MB/sec boot drive :
    http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007V5A1BK/
    Those last and last and make a nice boot drive.
    SSD: Samsung 840 128GB
    http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Series-120GB-internal-MZ-7TD120BW/dp/B009NHAF06/
    Over-due to upgrade and replace the graphic card most likely it sounds like also:
    ATI Radeon 5770
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC742ZM/A
    http://www.amazon.com/Apple-ATI-Radeon-5770-MC742ZM/dp/B003Z6QH6M
    http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/726537-REG/Apple_MC742ZM_A_ATI_Radeon_HD_5 770.html
    Your OEM 7300GT isn't helping now and with Lion or the X1900 dust magnet and out of date too. If you have a functional 8800GT still working you are lucky and no need.

  • What is the best external hard drive for the MAC Book Pro with Retina?

    What is the best external hard drive for the MAC Book Pro with Retina?
    I was looking at WD MY PASSPORT FOR MAC and Toshiba. I want something that will work best with time capsule! Suggestions on the best external hard drive would be greatly appreciated!!!

    A Time Machine backup drive should be substantially larger than the system drive.  If you have a 128 or 256 GB SSD then a 1 TB drive will suffice.  If you have a 512 GB SSD then a 2 TB drive will suffice.  As leroydouglas indicated any brand other than WD will do.
    For 1 TB drives PlotinusVeritas gives some great suggestions here:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5602141?tstart=0
    A 2 TB drive sold by Apple:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/H9378ZM/A/lacie-2tb-usb-30-porsche-design-p923 3-desktop-hard-drive
    $130
    A 2 TB drive just as good for only $92.

  • HT1338 What anti-virus software shall I use for my Mac OS X 10.6.8?

    What anti-virus software shall I use for my Mac OS X 10.6.8?

    There are many forms of ‘Malware’ that can affect a computer system, of which ‘a virus’ is but one type, ‘trojans’ another. Using the strict definition of a computer virus, no viruses that can attack OS X have so far been detected 'in the wild', i.e. in anything other than laboratory conditions. The same is not true of other forms of malware, such as Trojans. Whilst it is a fairly safe bet that your Mac will NOT be infected by a virus, it may have other security-related problem, but more likely a technical problem unrelated to any malware threat.
    You may find this User Tip on Viruses, Trojan Detection and Removal, as well as general Internet Security and Privacy, useful: The User Tip seeks to offer guidance on the main security threats and how to avoid them.
