    What is the best word processing program for Mac?

    That's an impossible question to answer - what type of writing will you be doing?
    Before we can point you in a direction you need to tell us what kind of writing you will be doing. As phrased, the question is a bit like "what's the best car?" Well few would doubt that a Ferrari is superior to a Honda minivan, but the Ferrari will not much use if you're dragging 4 kids, two dogs and the grandparents along.
    Academic?
    Word is the nearest thing to a standard format in the Humanties, but in the sciences and math you'll find Tex more useful for laying out formulas. The older Pages is quite good as a substitute for Word in many cases in the Humanties, but you'll have big problems with citations in the newer version. Apps like Nisus Writer Pro and Mellel are more powerful than Pages, but each have shortcomings. Scrivener and Ulysses are excellent drafting tools but you'll need a Word Processor for final layout. There are lots and lots of lightweight editors out there - Byword, iaWriter (and Writer Pro), OmmWriter - that have little functional use in Academic settings - poor or no support for citations for instance, or poor or no interoperability with Word - but which might be excellent for other uses.
    So, back to the key question: what kind of writing will you be doing?

  • What is the best word processing program for ipad2?

    What is the best word processing program for ipad2?

    I would recommend using Pages for what you are doing. It is the best one to use on the iPad itself, and has the ability to convert to an MS Word format. I know that it can do this through email, but I am also fairly certain you can import it in this format through iTunes, though you may need to convert it on the iPad itself.
    With iOS 5 and iCloud, I recommend kicking Word to the curb altogether and going with Pages on both machines. Not only will everything be more seamless, but iCloud will update the changes you make, on either device, automatically. And Pages is only 20 bucks through the App store for the Mac (OS 10.6.7 or later needed).

  • What is best non apple monitor for Mac mini

    What is the best non Apple monitor that is 21.5" for under $200 that can be used with a new Mac Mini?

    I like both my older $200 LG Flatron and newer $160 Samsung SyncMaster monitors. Both have (digital) DVI input, the LG is on the Apple Supplied HDMI to DVI Adapter and the Samsung is on a MiniDisplay Port to DVI adapter.
    Just beware that you can only use one older (analog) VGA monitor on the Thunderbolt/Display Port with Apple's MiniDisplay Port to VGA adapter and you should look at ones that support (digital) HDMI, DVI and/or DisplayPort inputs.

  • What is best word processing for the iMac?

    What is best word processing to use on my imac?

    Depends. What word processing are you doing?
    Word is probably the most capable, but do you need all that capability? Pages is very good, but not as powerful, as are Nisus Writer and Mellel. But it comes down to the kind of power you need: You writing blog posts? Novels? Doctoral Theses? Letters to your Mummy? Each of these can be done in Word, but if you're only writing notes home then Word is overkill. If you need academic standards - citations, footnotes etc - then Word, Pages, Nisus etc. If you're writing a Novel or long project something like Scrivener or Ulysses 3 are likely better.
    So... the best is the one appropriate for the writing you're doing - which is that?

  • Best word processing app for i-mac?

    As a 'newie' to the wonderful world of i-mac's can anyone recommend a good word processing app. Currently going round and round in circles trying to find one thats compatible with i-mac. Don't want to go down the Microsoft word option due to compatability issues.

    Word is not that incompatible.   But I do recommend looking at this listing of alternative products:
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6941
    and this list:
    http://www.roaringapps.com/
    The real problem people face with Word are font conflicts with some applications, macros that can cause files to misbehave, and using a version that hasn't been updated for their operating system.  Version 2008 and 2011 are able to run on the latest operating systems, though some people have mentioned the installers have trouble on version 2008 on Mac OS X 10.7 and later.

  • What is best 2015 antivirus program for my iMac

    Which antivirus program is recommended for my 2011 iMac running OSX Yosemite 10.10.1?

    There are quite a few Mac virus / malware that has come out over the years.
    A few. A total of 51 in all the years Mac OS X has existed. All of which are currently extinct, because they either won't work on current versions of Mac OS X or are blocked by the anti-malware features of recent versions of Mac OS X. There is no currently known malware capable of infecting Mac OS X, and though the possibility of unknown malware exists, anti-virus software can't protect you against that.
    I personally have used Sophos AntiVirus for Mac for the past few years.
    I used to recommend Sophos to people who insisted on using anti-virus software, but it is no longer as low-profile as it used to be. Sophos has been causing more problems for Mac users recently, and I no longer recommend its use.
    I am including some links on the matter below.
    It's important to keep a few things in mind with regard to those links. The Tom's Guide article is very light on actual information about how they evaluated the software they reviewed, and the site is littered with advertising, including some for anti-virus software. That review should be considered potentially biased.
    Similarly, the AVTest site receives payment from anti-virus companies for the testing they do, so there's definitely potential for bias. Their testing of malware detection seems to be pretty close to my own results, so that's probably good data... but, it's only one data point. My own testing data has been routinely misinterpreted by people who believe that because Avast tops the detection rate list, that makes it good. (In actuality, I strongly recommend against Avast for a variety of reasons.) Paying too much attention to just detection, or just how fast a Mac can copy files while anti-virus is installed, and not to other issues is a very serious error.
    The Intego article you linked to is a bad link, but if you Google it, you'll find that some of the information there is good, but other points are weak at best. One points out that some malware has gotten past the anti-malware features of Mac OS X, without mention of the fact that 1) that malware also got past anti-virus software at the time, or 2) those anti-malware features were still not entirely complete at the time. Another point is a straw man argument. (I've never seen anyone arguing that Mac malware doesn't affect "real people," so arguing that it does is meaningless.)
    Now, let's consider something else... because both Mac OS X and anti-virus software are not strong against brand new threats, and because they are also not strong against things like adware (which is not really malware), neither one can be relied on for full protection. Yet the installation of anti-virus software is often treated by users as full protection, which leads them to behave in unsafe ways under the false belief that they are safe. Thus, running anti-virus software can actually be more harmful than good!

  • Best Bulk Email Program for Mac?

  • Video/ Voice chat programs for Mac Mini

    Hello all Mac Mini Users,
    I just got my new mini and im looking to get it set up for a voice/ video chat. Any suggestions on which program is the best and also the best compatibility with PC's? Any suggestions for webcams? logitech vs. apples ISight?
    thanks

    Have you looked at iChat? Which IM applications do you need compatibility with? I believe iChat is compatible with AIM, ICQ and Jabber compliant.
    I like my iSight, and it has a Firewire interface, which is faster than USB 2.0, especially for sustained data transmission like video. But the new built-in iSights on the iMacs run on the USB bus...

  • Whats the best way to move from mac mini server to Mac pro server?

    Hi everyone. I am currently running a mac mini server and it's maxed out. I have just purchased a Mac Pro server and I was wondering if anyone has moved there data in a similar scenario. Is it as simple as restoring a time machine backup to the new server? Any insight would most appreciated as I need this to go smoothly. Thank you.

    Apple's official Time Machine documentation says NOT to use TM to back up an entire server.
    The reason being is that it will NOT properly back up your databases.  The three in question most often used with OS X server is the Mail DB, the MySQL DB and the Open Directory.
    Database experience tells me that reason behind their not supporting Databases is the issue with reading info that's being written to or read from while TM is doing it's thing.  It's likely that if the server is under load when the time machine backs up, you're going to get an inconsistent copy.
    The ONLY apple documented GUI method of restoring a server is by using the Setup Assistant during the initial setup of a server.  (using a firewire cable to connect and having your old server in target disk mode)
    This in fact I would say is the most reliable method of migration. 
    (my 2 cents)
    Write more and let us know how the new server works on a continual basis!  I've not heard of anyone having a successful restore taken from a live server.

  • What's Best Anti-Virus Program for a Mac?

    I know that most people think that Macs don't get viruses, but I'm a computer teacher in a public school and we recently got the W97M virus. It's in the Microsoft Word program, and although it may not hurt specifically our iMacs, it has caused other problems. We get frequent error messages and also the spinning ball, the latter of which could be caused by a number of reasons. Another teacher used her flash drive from school on her home computer, and the computer died. It was a PC, but she's not sure if it's from the virus or not.
    Anyway, I depend on flash drives a lot to transfer documents I create at school to my home computer and vise-versa. Ever since I heard about this virus, and we've gotten other viruses too, I haven't used my flash drives on my home computer. I have a G5 with the 10.3.9 operating system that eventually I'd like to upgrade. The only two anti-virus programs I've seen the names of are iAntiVirus and ClamXAV. I thought that I had read a while ago that ClamXAV detects the virus but doesn't remove it. (or it may have been another anti-virus program) I would like one that not only detects it but also removes it, whether the program is a free one or one you have to buy. Also, I need one that is okay with my present operating system (OSX 10.3.9) and also will work with whatever the newest OSX system exists when I upgrade.
    Thank you for your help.

    The developer of ClamXav created a front-end (the GUI interface) for an open source back-end that actually does the real work. There are apparently ClamAV applications for other platforms.
    So it seems like the developer is saying that the 1.1.1 version of ClamXav for Panther is the current front-end version, but the back-end "engine" is a slightly older version. The back-end for the Tiger and later version no longer works with Panther. But that should be OK, because the program downloads updated definition files as new malware is identified. Since the developer can no longer support creating a version for Panther, this version is the last one.
    Also, ClamXav is a scanning program. It does not take any action to remove malware (as far as I know). It just tells you about what if finds, and it's up to you to remove or replace the compromised file. I my case, the only things it finds are malware embedded in spam/junk emails, so I just need to find and delete those emails.
    Note: I had not used ClamXav in a long time, and the 1.1.1 version does not work in Snow Leopard. But there is a beta 2.0 version that does work with Snow Leopard.
