What is the best apple product excluding iMacs

The best Apple product is the way each product can share content and work toghether with other products and the way each software share data and information with other pieces of software and the way you get information and help from Apple itself and in these communities. The magic is you can start from any of the member of this team (iMac MBP iPhone iPad.....) each of them are already fitted with a lot of good software, but you can load each of them with specific Apps according to your wishes and your needs.
Buy the product you like more and you will be sure it is the best one for you.

What is the best apple product for my wife?

Hello all,
I recently broke our Windows laptop (stepped on it and cracked the screen). The price on replacing this screen makes me feel, that I should go the extra mile and just replace the thing since it was sort of up there in age anyway.
So here is where I need you guys. I have heard that Macs are excellent products, but I know VERY little. My wife and I have been with windows our entire lives. I sincerely apologize for the "noob" questions, but googling for a couple hours has left me with little first hand experience that fits us well. With that being said...First question:
Is there anything a typical Windows user will have trouble adjusting to?
For example, I know the iphone/ipod touch don't use flash. Are the macs the same? I read that they dumped flash in 2010? Can you still use it if you wanted to? Is there an alternative? But what I'm really getting at is, how hard will it be for us to transition? Are there typical windows features we may lose? Is it true that I'll no longer need anti-virus software?
Is the MacBook Air right for us? Ipad 2? MacBook Pro?
One reason I want a Mac, as I've said, is that I've heard that they are the best. I want to give my wife a very good gift. She never gets anything top of the line for herself and I want to spoil her with this surprise without her being able to tell me "no". Therfore, I want this new item to tailor to her more than me.
She mainly uses the laptop for pleasure. She loves to browse sites...read articles...and most of all, check up with friends on facebook. She is also really really into pictures and editing. She loves to take pictures and create little videos with music and whatever and I've heard that the Macs have pretty good software for this (Does it come standard?).
Anyway, while this will be pleasure over business 95% of the time, she may need word processing capability. This is likely to be extremely light work. Example would be listing DVDs we own. Possibly touching up a resume... She's been interested in writing a book though, so maybe this has the potential to upgrade to more business (I guess I may have just eliminated the ipad, huh?).
So is there a type of apple product that seems to scream out for my wife?
Also, If it has any weighing in this decision, we both own ipods.
I very sincerely thank you guys for reading my wall of text. I am happy to read links if you have any good ones to share instead of writing yourselves. I know I've overwhelmed you guys with a ton of questions. And I'm sorry if this is a topic you get all the time, but I figured I'd give it a try to make the best decision I can!
Thanks so much,
Danny

Hi Danny,
These are some great questions, hopefully I can answer them appropriately for you.
MacBook Pro vs. MacBook Air vs. iPad 2
The good news, outside of an optical drive, those first two are pretty similar in terms of functionality and features. Throw the iPad 2 into the sequence and it changes things significantly.
While the iPad 2 is an exceptional product with near limitless features, thanks to the App Store, it still requires a computer. It can wirelessly print, but how did that printer get setup? It can stream over AirPlay to your Apple TV, but how did that AppleTV get setup? Not to mention, having your media backed up is always a good idea.
There are two big differences between the MacBook Air & MacBook Pro and it's something to consider.
1.) How often do you need peripheral ports?
The MacBook Air has 2 USB ports, a MiniDisplay Port and a headphone jack. It does not have a FireWire port, it does not have an Ethernet port, it only has an SD card slot on the 13" model, it also does not have an optical drive.
Are these important to your wife? Will she routinely be burning, writing to or reading from CDs/DVDs? If so, you'll need to purchase an external drive and tie up one of your USB ports or purchase a hub. It also does not have an Ethernet port and in order to gain access to one you need to buy an external adapter that again ties up a USB port. It also only supports 10/100 connections, not 10/100/1000.
There's no doubt that CD/DVD media is in a decline, soon just about everything is going to be available via direct downloads and many things already are so maybe that's not important. Given the device's portability and how many places have WiFi you could justify not needing an Ethernet port. Most manufacturers default their peripheral connection for external media to USB, FireWire is very Mac specific and often times adds a premium price onto the accessory. Gigabit Ethernet is negligible for day-to-day usage, unless you're moving multi-GB files on a routine basis.
2.) What sort of potential growth opportunities do you need?
One glaring limitation to the MacBook Air is that you cannot upgrade the RAM or HD capacity, something that you can do on the MacBook Pro. OWC does make 3rd party flash storage but it's very expensive, especially when you compare it against platter drives.
Storage will vary from user-to-user. I have probably 50GB worth of media between photos, music, videos, etc. My wife on the other hand? Well over 1TB of content and although she doesn't access it daily, it's frequent enough where it prompted us to get a NAS solution for our apartment.
RAM is one of those things that you can never have enough of in computing. You won't hear someone way: "Wow, this computer is way too fast." Unless you're trying to install a computer game from the early 90s.
I encourage you, if you end up with the MBA, to consider the upgrade to 4GB of RAM. I question how relevant 2GB of RAM will be on a computer in 2 or 3 years and what the demands of programs will require then.
Get to an Apple Store
Go early in the morning during the week or late one weeknight an hour or so before the store closes. Spend 20-30 minutes with each of the three products you're considering. They're all preloaded with software, games, productivity applications, sample galleries, etc. Ask the people on the floor to let you discover uninterrupted but be nearby when you're done and have some Q&A. Don't let them dry to "drive" your experience or prattle about how awesome and magical it is. They don't know exactly what you'll be using it for and if you tell them you're brand new Apple they'll usual try to show you what they like, not what you might like by blind discovery.
Macromedia Flash & Applications
Flash does not work on iOS devices (iPhone, iPod Touch, iPhone) but it works just fine on the MacBook Pro & MacBook Air. Every new Mac will come with iLife which includes: iPhoto, Garageband, iMovie, iDVD and iWeb. They're fantastic programs and are "gateway" products to Apple's next tier of products:
iPhoto -> Aperture
Garageband -> Logic
iMovie & iDVD -> Final Cut
iWeb is the red-headed stepchild in this equation. You'd graduate to an Adobe product like Dreamweaver if you suddenly became interested in web-design.
Good luck in your decision making process!

What is the best Apple notebook for video editing and pro music creation?

What is the best Apple notebook for video editing and pro music creation?
I know I could opt for the most expensive and probably get what I want that way, but I´m not made of money, so what are your suggestions for minimum criteria and which would you recommend?

MacBooks Pro are great Macs with a good hardware, so all of them will work for the use you want, but I think that you want the biggest display possible because of your uses. In this case, it has to be a 15-inch non-Retina MacBook Pro, with the settings you want. Note that, after buying the Mac, you can upgrade the HDD and memory without voiding the warranty, so you are free to install as much memory and the HDD size you want after buying it. It's my opinion, but you are free to do whatever you think it's better

What is the best Apple software for special effects

I am 14 and made a couple of movies with my friends using airsoft guns. I want to make something realistic and do something similar to Freddiew's youtube channel. What is the best Apple software for making keyed effects and then being able to make them look realistic. I have used effects in Imovie and never liked how chessy it looks. Also I can learn programs pretty easy like Unity, Blender, and Xcode.
Any suggestions on where to start
Thanks

Here are your options:

Just Purchased a MacBook Pro. What it the best Adobe product to get to be able to view PDFs?

Just Purchased a MacBook Pro. What it the best Adobe product to get to be able to view PDFs?

Yes, Mountain Lion has a convoluted method to do a "Save as", but try this. Open the applicable PDF, from the "File" menu select "Duplicate". This will create a copy of the PDF file and highlight the name at the top of the page. Here you can type in a new name, and a gain from the "File" menu select "Move To" or "Save" to save the resultant, newly named PDF.

What is the best adobe product to build an HD website moving background?

I want to design a High Definition moving background for my website. What would be the best adobe product to use? I tried After Effects but the quality lowers when i integrate it.

... as with anything, you have to ask what the purpose of the 'web application' is: are you developing a portal system, a data collection form with or without reporting capabilities, logins, accounts, etc. - or an internal web application meant to handle simple business tasks with small amounts of data?
The Oracle product offerings can run from simple (APEX) to more complex cases (ADF, WebCenter Framework, etc.) - it all depends on what you're trying to accomplish.
A good place to start would be just to download the JDeveloper IDE - JDeveloper supports a really wide array of Oracle technologies so you can get a feel for what might be the best 'tool' for your use case.... and JDeveloper even supports a number of standard web app approaches (e.g. Apache Struts) if you're familiar with those kind of tools.

What is the best solution/product to connect 2 external monitors to MBP ?

Hi!
1. Can I use my MBP 13" (2011 i5) monitor as secondary when I connect an external one?
2. Which solution is the best to connect 2 external monitors to my MBP 13 2011 i5 ?
Thanks!

Yes. You can mirror or extend as been so for many years.
2. Which solution is the best to connect 2 external monitors to my MBP 13 2011 i5 ?
None, the graphics card is poor integrated graphics and it can barely drive one external monitor, much less two.
If you wanted two external monitors the machine to get is the Mac Pro.

What is the best Apple IIGS emulator for Max OS X?

I'm currently using Bernie ][ the Rescue, which is the best I've seen. But it is only available for OS 9, which I run through Classic on my G5. However, once I upgrade to Leopard, I will not have Classic anymore. I've tried KEGS but it seems very mediocre. Any suggestions?

There aren't too many alternatives. There is Sweet16 which claims to be evolved from Bernie, and it is compatible with OS X up through Tiger. It may work with Leopard.
There is Virtual ][, but I don't know if it emulates the IIGS although it says it emulates other II models.
You will find these at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

What are the Best Recommended Products for Mac OS X Server (Apache and ???)

I investigated Oracle and PHP combo for robust database services to be able to create forms, store employee applications, resumes, do financial requests, invoices, ecommerce stuff, document and lists collaboration like Microsoft Sharepoint using Internet Information Services (IIS) and SQL Server, etc. What are recommended products that I can easily develop in to code and do the requested stuff using Mac current (Apache and ????) technologies?

Of course it depends on your needs, but the OS X server already comes with Apache, Ruby On Rails, Python, Perl and SQL.

What is the best audio production hard drive for macbook pro 13" 2.53 ghz?

I'm new to mac, this has been a big transition.
I've been looking on newegg and there are tons of choices.
Looking for a good hard drive for music production in live 8, 7200 rpm has been recommended. Should it be internal or external?
I'm making minimalist oldschool synthpop so I don't need too many plugins or tracks at once but I am gigging so I want gear that's simple, I love everything about the apogee duet in this respect.
I have macbook pro 13" 2.53 ghz 4GB ram
Apogee Duet
Ableton live 8 standard

For internal, you can't go wrong with the Hitachi Travelstar. They work very well with the MacBook Pro and right now you can get 300 GB of 7200 RPM for less than 75 dollars at Newegg. You could try that and see if you really need an external given the type of music you're working with.
If you decide to get an external, I would steer away from all-purpose drives and get one designed for audio, like the Glyph drives. Along the Apogee Duet simplicity lines, they're designed for music production and they just work. Most of them come with carrying cases. Just plug the Glyph into your MacBook Pro, plug the Duet into the Glyph, and that's it.

What is the best Apple setup?

Hi,
I am thinking about investing apple tech, and need some help.
I am a student and need to be able to create doucments, spreadsheets and also surf the web and watch movies/telly. I have narrowed it down to a few options....
1.iMac+ iPad 2 for uni work and then taking notes, general tablet use.
2.Mac mini ( plus acessories, mouse, keyboad etc) + iPad 2 for the same again
3.Macbook Pro + iPad 2 for the same, but more portable.
4. Any other suggestions?
Any help is appreciated!
Cheers

Any other suggestions?
I would not consider any Mac without the built-in optical DVD SuperDrive.
Get the Mac Pro.
It is faster, MUCH more expandable, can hold 4 hard drives.
I added cards to add more USB Ports, more FireWire Ports, Video inputs and a dual eSATA card.
I also like the 30 inch display.
(Sounding like Darth Vader.) "You don't know the POWER of the Mac Pro."
