What is the best program to synch files between drives on a mac?

I am trying to keep my data synched between a USB 3.0 drive and my Time Machine drive (mainly photo files). I have seen GoodSynch and other 3rd party apps but am surprised that Mac file manager doesn't seem to have this function. I used to use a good utility on my PC that worked flawlessly to keep two drives in synch. I do have Carbon Copy Cloner which works great to back up one drive to another location including creating a bootable external drive clone of the Retina. But this is to synch my photo library (with 67,000 photos) between the main data drive and another external. HELP!

I use ChronoSynch for this purpose (http://www.econtechnologies.com/pages/cs/chrono_overview.html). It work perfeclty for me and I think it will serve your pupose quite nicely.

Does the Macbook Pro have a program to run Windows? If not, what is the best program to do so?

Does the Macbook Pro have a program to run Windows built in? If not, what is the best program to do so. Purchasing a new Mac.

No. The Mac does not have anything to run Windows
You must install either virtualizrion software or use BootCamp to create a partition for Windows. Once you have done that then you must install Windows.

What IS the best program to use to create an animation, that needs to be viewed in powerpoint? Essentially i want to output a Movie File, so i'm guessing that Edge Animate is out of the question and it's not photoshop, more likely Flash?

So it sounds like you want to create a form. There are really two approaches, either Acrobat (AcroForm) or LiveCycle Designer (XFA form). LiveCycle Designer comes with Acrobat Pro, but it's an entirely separate application.
For an AcroForm, you'd create the underlying document in a page layout program (e.g., InDesign), word processor, or some other software and convert to PDF. Then in Acrobat you;d add the interactive form fields and any scripting you want. You can also add other types of interactive elements such as links, bookmarks, multimedia, etc. You can add a button which when clicked initiates an email with the filled-in form attached of submits to a web server.
For an XFA form, you'd normally create the entire document in LiveCycle Designer, particularly for a dynamic forms. There's a lot that PDF has to offer that's not available with XFA forms, but XFA forms can do things AcroForms can't. For a good discussion of the important differences between the two types of forms, see the following article: http://acrobatusers.com/blogs/thomp/so-what-difference-between-acroforms-and-xfa
For a form that needs to be saved with Adobe Reader, the document needs to be Reader-enabled. When such a document is opened in Reader, it will unlock certain functionality that Reader does not have otherwise, such as commenting, signing digital signature fields, and most important saving. But when a document has been extended this way with Acrobat, there are licesning restrictions. In short, if you distribute an enabled document to more than 500 recipients, you are allowed to use data from no more than 500 forms that have been returned to you, including hard copied. If fewer than 500 recipients, there is no such limit.

Remove the hard drive and get one of these USB hard drive adapters. http://tinyurl.com/a5l2htj Then plug the adapter into your iMac to see/retrieve the files.

What is the best program to create a price list in?

What is the best program to design a price list please.

I would use a spreadsheet to keep a current price list for my own use. If I wanted to print a price list for distribution to customers, I would take the current prices from the spreadsheet and paste them into a template from a word processor program, such as Word or Pages.

Poor old Photoshop® is forever being put down when it comes to layout work, but it is perfectly capable, and can output a high quality print PDF the printer will be perfectly happy with. OK you don't have the text flow between columns bells and whistles of InDesign and [spit] Publisher, but if you have a $10/month Photoshop/Lightroom subscription, instead of the $50/month full subscription, don't think you can't do a perfectly good flyer or poster.

Aubry,
why don't you send your sequences straight to Compressor first, encode your movies as MPEG 2 and AC3 audio and import all assets in DVD studio PRO?

What's the best program for making a header containing rollover navigation links?

I have all CS4 programs and I'm looking to make a header that contains an interactive rollover nav bar. I want the bar to be located within the header. What is the best program for creating the header and rollover buttons. I'm aware i could manipulate the images in other programs, but placement and rollover button creation is what I'm looking for. Thanks. I'm thinking maybe flash or fireworks?

Spry can do this for you. See some samples here:

Or there are commercially available menu systems from the likes of companies like Project Seven, whom I would personally recommend:

If you have used FreeHand before it is sill FreeHand of
course - as long as it works in our OS and there are no new
features you like to use.
If you have documents with a lot of text elements and
multiple pages InDesign may be the second best choice. For
typography it is the best tool available.
Illustrator is more for illustrations, although it seems that
it has good control for type it is clumsy and there are a few major
bugs that makes it unsuitable for body text.

I have an IMac intel OS x 10.8.2, I would like to know what is the best program to use to make movies and burn them to a DVD???

What is the best program to use that will be compatable with a IMac intel OS x 10.8.2, that will allow me to make movies, add music then burn it to a DVD. The program I have now, will make the movie but will not burn it???

You want iDVD.
Purchase iLife 11 (includes iDVD) on disk.
IDVD is a wonderful piece of software and well worth the low cost of $40.

Yes, there are programs that will put a movie on a DVD. I have tried most of the other substitutes including Toast, Burn, DVD Creator, Wondershare, and others. None of them come anywhere near the ease-of-use and power of iDVD.

What is the best program and/or method to have crisp clear text in FCP?

What is the best program and/or method to have crisp clear text in FCP?
I have the CS4 Production suite.
Thanks

What is the best work flow to use? For example creating text in Motion, AE, PS, or AI and then bringing it into FCP.
I used Motion and the text looks jagged. I though Motion was vector based and I don't understand why the edges aren't crisp and smooth.
I'm just starting to learn these programs and want to create good working habits.

What is the best program to Rip DVD with 5.1 audio for Mac Book

I just purchased a Macbook Pro and want to rip DVD's. I want to retain the 5.1 audio tracks. What is the best program for this? Thanks in advance for your suggestions

Sorry, but if you're referring to commercial and hence copy-protected video DVDs, breaking the copy protection, which would be necessary to copy the videos from the DVD and convert them, is illegal in the US (and other countries), so we're not allowed to discuss it here. Some DVDs and Blu-Ray movies come with a "digital copy" that allows you to download a copy of the movie for use on computers. You might see if any of the DVDs you have come with such a feature.
If these are home movies that you or someone has burned to DVD and hence are not copy-protected, Handbrake (freeware) is one of the more popular converters. I'm not sure how it handles 5.1 audio, though, if it will at all.
Regards.

What is the best program to use for making high quality gifs?

Right now I'm using gifbrewery to make gifs from youtube videos. I was just wondering, in your opinion, what's the best program or way to make the best quality gif possible? Thanks so much!

This is the Flash Player forum. You would have a much better chance to get a reply if you posted in the Creative Suites forum, and explain what kind of app you want to build.
