  • I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    I am a new mac user and I switch to mac due to the graphics that it brings. I do website in pc and I heard iweb is the best.NOW i heard that iweb will be discontinue. so what is the best application there for website using MAC OSX lion?

    It is now confirmed  that iWeb, and iDVD, has been discontinued by Apple. This is evidenced by the fact that new Macs are shipping with iLife 11 installed but without iWeb and iDVD.
    On June 30, 2012 MobileMe will be shutdown. However, iWeb will still continue to work but without the following:
    Features No Longer Available Once MobileMe is Discontinued:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ MobileMe Gallery
    All of these features can be replaced with 3rd party options.
    I found that if I published my site to a folder on my hard drive and then uploaded with a 3rd party FTP client subscriptions to slideshows and the RSS feed were broken.  If I published directly from iWeb to the FPT server those two features continued to work correctly.
    There's another problem and that's with iWeb's popup slideshows.  Once the MMe servers are no longer online the popup slideshow buttons will not display their images.
    Click to view full size
    However, Roddy McKay and I have figured out a way to modify existing sites with those slideshows and iWeb itself so that those images will display as expected once MobileMe servers are gone.  How to is described in this tutorial: #26 - How to Modify iWeb So Popup Slideshows Will Work After MobileMe is Discontinued.
    It now appears that the iLife suite of applications offered on disc is now a discontinued product and the remaining supported iApps will only be available thru the App Store from now on. However, the iLife 11 boxed version that is still available at the online Apple Store (Store button at the top of the page) and those still on the shelves of retailers will include iWeb and iDVD. Those two apps were listed in small, gray text on the iLife 11 box that I bought.
    Personally, if I didn't already have a copy I would purchase one to have it for reinstallation purposes if ever needed.
    This might be of some interest to you at this time: Life After MobileMe.

  • What is the best anti virus for an iMAC with OS 10.7

    What is the best anti virus for an iMAC with OS 10.7

    Just a +1 for Kappy's suggestions. Antivirus software simply is not necessary for OS X. If you are interested in reading more an informative article is Viruses, Trojans, Malware - and other aspects of Internet Security.

  • What is the best anti virus software to use with OS X 10.8?

    What is the best anti virus software to use with OS X 10.8?  Norton is slowing my iMac down and I'm constantly being bombarded by blocking messages for programs I don't recognize.
    Thanks

    Get rid of Norton a/k/a Symantec. It is one of the worst pieces of trash you can install on a Mac.
    You do not need any additional anti-virus software than is already designed into OS X to protect your Mac against malware. I assume you paid enough for your iMac and that's part of what you paid.
    If you use Windows, or are concerned about harboring viruses that target Windows, or care about friends who use Windows, then get ClamXav. It's in the App Store and it is free.
    Since friends don't let friends use Windows, I have no use for it.

    I have 70 videos I use in my work and want to import them into my IPad2.  What is the best third party converter to use?

    There is Handbrake (http://handbrake.fr) - aren't the videos compatible with iTunes on your computer, if they are then you can always do Advanced > Create iPad Version if they don't currently sync to the iPad. There are also a number of third-party iPad apps that support other video formats

  • What is the best file format for importing photos into Imovie?

    What is the best format to save photos in before bringing into Imovie? What is the best resolution for them and what is the best size? These will eventually be ported over to IDVD. It seems that as jpgs Imovie didn't recognize them, but as psds it did.

    hi Richard:
    Just a personal preference, but if I intend on using the photos for printing I keep them in the PSD form. When adding to imovie, however, I use .pict

  • What is the best external hard drive to use with a macbook?

    I am looking to buy an external hard drive for my macbook pro (2010).  I understand that some hard drives have issues when used with Lion.
    Does anyone have any suggestions for which is the best to buy?

    Any hard drive should work. I don't know of any issues caused by a specific brand of hard drive for working with Lion.
    Now as far as the hard drive itself goes there are a few options. Most external drives run at 7200 rpm. Some however still run at 5400 rpm (rpm is the speed of the disk in layman's terms). Faster is better in most cases, however they do produce slightly more sound and run hotter, but not by much.
    Then there is also the choice between USB and FireWire (thunderbolt is still to pricy). FireWire runs faster, but is more expensive.
    Those are your choices.

  • What is the best FTP software for Dreamweaver using a Mac OS X?

    I have tried several FTP softwares that I found listed on th net. None seem to work well. I was able to retrieve all of my web pages off the internet with my current FTP but the FTP  will not list the current changes on the local side.
    I appreciate your help.

    Thanks for answering.
    I had discussed this with a Nancy O on the forum.
    The problem I found was the following. A little history.
    I have done about 45 web sites for clients. I no longer do them except for four pro bono sites.
    Some of the sites have not been updated for over a year and a half.
    I was using PC's for 20 years. I had a glitch and contacted the particular software company.
    They sent me to the Philippines. The person took control of my computer and burned my hard drive.
    In Jan 2012, I purchased a Mac OS X.
    I also purchased Dreamweaver for Mac in Feb of 2012.
    I was able to make changes on a couple of the sites using Dreamweaver and a FTP trial.
    Everything worked perfectly.
    Day before yesterday I had some changes for a pro bono client.
    No big deal or so I thought.
    1st - since I had no FTP now I purchased ClassicFTP for Mac.
    I went to Dreamweaver for the site pages and found that the pages listed on the local side were from pages I did several years ago.
    This was upsetting. I was able to get the remote side (which was current) on the FTP.
    But I could not in any way pull up the current site on Dreamweaver.
    Talking to Nancy O. on the forum, she guided me to the Files on the right of the Dreamweaver display.
    I was able to load the current pages in Dreamweaver.
    After making the changes required I did the proper save on the pages. Note: I had also deleted Dreamweaver and downloaded it again thinking there was a glitch. The same with ClassicFTP.
    Bringing up ClassicFTP the local had the old pages listed again.
    Now I am at an impasse and that where I am at this time. Frustrated.
    So any helpful solution will be appreciated.

  • What is the best version of Firefox to use with Windows 7?

    Ever since I've started using Windows 7 I've had issues with Firefox. It randomly crashes or becomes unresponsive, it slows to a crawl, Flash player crashes particularly if I have multiple videos or whatnot open at the same time, it sucks up *way* too much memory for what it's supposed to be doing, so on..Basically it acts like IE used to (not sure if it still does).
    I recently did a fresh format and Windows 7 install and installed Firefox onto it. Literally the first thing the browser did was freeze. I've had similar issues on both Windows 7 Home and Windows 7 Ultimate. On XP things worked fine.
    Reading on the internet I've seen that other people have similar problems. I'm assuming that there is something about Windows 7 that Firefox doesn't like or vice versa.
    I'm wondering if anybody has had any luck hunting down a version of Firefox that wants to play ball. I'm currently using the latest version and it is pretty aggravating.

    Note that there have been (JIT compiler related) crashes reported on Facebook and that a Firefox 18.0.2 version is considered to address this issue.
    If you have submitted crash reports then please post the IDs of one or more crash reports that have this format:
    *bp-xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
    You can find the IDs of the submitted crash reports on the <i>about:crashes</i> page.
    *You can open the <b>about:crashes</b> page via the location bar, like you open a website.

  • What's the BEST MINI DV deck to use with FCP 5?

    I'm tired of using my Gl-1's to capture with. My small zr50 doesn't work that great for a dv deck.
    Tell me what brands you have had complete success with.

    I'm looking at buying a DVCPro deck to add to my
    arsenal right now, which will also play mini-dv and
    DVCAM, so depending on what else is going on in your
    market, that might be something to look into.
    I bought my DSR-11 when I lived in San Francisco.
    Outside of news, nobody used DVCPro. All shoots
    were hired for DVCAM, Beta, or HD. So I bought a
    DVCAM deck. Around Des Moines, nobody shoots DVCAM.
    It's all DVCPro and mini dv, and I shoot HD
    occasionally.
    AJ-SD93, very sweet machine! this is the vtr i would love to have.
    thrillcat, RAGBRAI overnights in waukee, close to des moines this year. if you're out there with your camera video taping folks in lycra who shouldn't be wearing it and should know better, i'll wave at your camera as i'm zipping by!

  • What is the best CD and DVD to use with my new iMac Intel?

    Guys, please help. I am not great on the computers and need a bit of help and advice. Just brought a brand new iMac Intel G5. This is to replace my older but much loved iMac G4, which is very simple to use. Have had nothing but trouble with the new one which was especially brought to copy CD's and DVD's and to have a good play with. After much head scratching have just been told by Apple help desk that the new intels may not like CD-R. These disks worked fine on my old Mac, brought a new pack (100). I can copy information and burn to these disks using Disk Utility. BUT they can only be read on the Intel iMac, not on my old mac or PC at work. This is only simple word and pdf files, nothing complicated. Copying and burning DVD's even more of a nightmare. What makes and formats do you recommend that I use? I can copy to DVD+R. Your advise would be much appreciated. Many thanks, Townie1978
