What's a great app 4 free?

I have a few just want ta know some really good ones

There are probably hundreds and without knowing what you might be interested in, it's impossible for anyone to offer a good suggestion. Using iTunes on your computer, go to the Apps section of the iTunes Store and look at the Top Charts -> Free Apps and you'll see a number of possibilities. If you want to look only for certain types of apps, hover over the App Store tab on the iTunes Store, click the arrow, and select the type of app you want and the Top Charts will be specific to that type of app.
Otherwise, search this forum for recommendations or post more specific information about what sort of app you're looking for and I'm sure you'll get a number of suggestions.
Regards.

Question does anyone know a great app to get find and download free books instead of ibooks

Question does anyone know a great app to get find and download free books instead of using ibooks?

wanting everything in a single resource is too much to ask. You should split your query into three:
1) how to make platform games
2) how to make games in a windowed environment
3) how to do games in applets
For the first, that is quite difficult to put in a book as a generic topic. What you are looking for is how to make games, with that knowledge you should be able to figure out how to do a platform game. That is quite an involving task. You will have to find out:
1.1) how to efficiently blit graphics
1.2) 2D collision detection
1.3) framerate independent animations and movement
1.4) the "game loop"
as a start.
Making games in a windowed environment is not much different than fullscreen games actually; only the size of the screen is different. Other than that there shouldn't be much difference between the two, other than at the hardware level which you will probably not have to worry about too much in your beginning game development endeavors.
How to do a game in an applet: it is not much different from doing a game in a regular Swing application. I would start there and then later figure out how to do it in an applet. Using a Swing timer and custom painting on a JPanel should get you far enough, I would think.
For later projects you may want to look into the Slick library, which you can find here: http://slick.cokeandcode.com/ . I wouldn't start there though, start simpler with Swing only.

HT4009 I am now totally confused. One of your kind answers says maybe I am purchasing an (IN-app). What is the difference in a free app and a in- app????, besides charging me $1.25 each time.

What is the difference in a app marked free, and one that is an in-app??.. This is not explained by supports answer. I do not download a free app with
The knowledge I am required to pay for it. Down here in Texas, free means free. Some one out there explain in plain English why I have been charged $40.00
In last six months for FREE apps.??

A free app is free to download from the store. Some apps (both free and paid-for) then allow you to make in-app purchases within them e.g. to unlock extra features (items or levels in a game, extra features in other apps etc), to remove adverts (some free apps get money via adverts that are diaplayed in them, but you can sometimes pay to remove them).
If you don't want to be able to make in-app purchases then you can turn them off on your iPad via Settings > General > Restrictions > In-App Purchases 'off'.
As most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users, not iTunes Support, we won't know why you have been charged $40 in the last six months. Have you looked at the purchase history on your account (Store > View Account menu option on your computer's iTunes), or contacted iTunes Support ?

Can I download What's App for free?

Can I download What's App for Free in IPod Touch?

You can download it on your computer. However, about two years ago the developer updated the app and the updated app is only compatible with iPhones. Thus, it will not install on an iPod (or iPad).

What's The Best App to defrag MB Pro (13inch-Mid 2012) 10.8 ?

What's The Best App to Defrag a MacBook Pro (13inch -Mid 2012) 10.8 ?

Do you access these files frequently or are they just stored on the drive? If the latter they do not require defragmenting.
If your computer is slow that may have nothing to do with fragmentation. You would need a drive nearly 100 % full of data you regularly access before you would see signs of slowdown due to fragmentation. Were that the case you have more to worry about than defragmenting the drive.
See the following suggestions:
Things You Can Do To Resolve Slow Downs
If your computer seems to be running slower here are some things you can do:
Start with a visit to: OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
Boot into Safe Mode then repair your hard drive and permissions:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions Pre-Lion
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Repair the Hard Drive - Lion
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Restart your computer normally and see if this has helped any. Next do some maintenance:
Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For situations Disk Utility cannot handle the best third-party utility is Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced since Tiger. These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard or Lion and should not be installed.
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems. For more about malware see Macintosh Virus Guide.
I would also recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. There is no confirmation that this version also works with Lion.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Data Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. SyncTwoFolders
6. Synk Pro
7. Synk Standard
8. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
Additional Hints
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity as free space.
Add more RAM. If your computer has less than 2 GBs of RAM and you are using OS X Leopard or later, then you can do with more RAM. Snow Leopard and Lion work much better with 4 GBs of RAM than their system minimums. The more concurrent applications you tend to use the more RAM you should have.
Always maintain at least 15 GBs or 10% of your hard drive's capacity as free space, whichever is greater. OS X is frequently accessing your hard drive, so providing adequate free space will keep things from slowing down.
Check for applications that may be hogging the CPU:
Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder. Select All Processes from the Processes dropdown menu. Click twice on the CPU% column header to display in descending order. If you find a process using a large amount of CPU time, then select the process and click on the Quit icon in the toolbar. Click on the Force Quit button to kill the process. See if that helps. Be sure to note the name of the runaway process so you can track down the cause of the problem.
Often this problem occurs because of a corrupted cache or preferences file or an attempt to write to a corrupted log file.

What's a good app to use to put two photos on a single page like Windows Paint?

I have a OSX Lion with an iPhoto app. I would like to put two photos on a single page like Windows Paint. What's a good app for this? Is there a Windows Paint app for Mac or something similar?

You can print two photos on a single page with iPhoto, you can put two photos on a single page with Pages, Word or any word processor. Or are you trying to edit two photos together?
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

I do not see ANY of the new features claimed for Firefox 4, and moving the home button all the way to the right is very inconvenient. So what's so great?

I have used (and liked) Firefox from the first time it was offered. I
typically upgrade to newer versions as they come out. Sometimes
the newer version doesn't differ markedly from the previous one, but, until now, they were not usually a step backward. Upon installing Firefox 4 the welcome page indicated several new features. Specifically an app bar, and a bookmark button next to the home button. However neither of these features are on my copy of the program. Frankly, the only change that I see is the new position of the home button; and I don't like it. Moving the home button all the way across the page from the other commonly used buttons makes absolutely no sense to me, especially if the touted bookmark button doesn't exist. The new speed, if it continues, is nice, but other than that I see no real improvement over Firefox 3. So what's so great?

The new interface is only default on Windows Vista and Windows 7. To get it on Windows XP you need to hide the menu bar. To do that in the View menu select Toolbars, then click on the "Menu Bar" entry.
If you need access to the menus you can press either Alt or F10 to temporarily display them.
You can rearrange the buttons and place them where you want, for details on how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/how-do-i-customize-toolbars

What is the best app for backing up my mac. I do publication work and need to save my work?

what is the best app for backing up my mac. I do publication work and need to save my work?

My answer does not have the black Apple logo but the hardearned black belt of (bad) experience.
There is one problem with TimeMachine. It can get corrupted out of the blue with no warning and it will not want to restore correctly (as an added "bonus" you get to find this out the "hard" way, when you need it most). Plus it takes ages for the data to be copied back, sometimes days. Haven't tried my 600gb backup on Mavericks but Mountain Lion had this knack of breaking Timemachine after a couple of months.
To back up my entire server is use SuperDuper. It mirrors the drive to an external one (usb for example) The cool thing is you can use that usb drive and start the OS X from it (by holding Alt when you hear the boot chime).
This way you have a working copy of your entire machine. You can even go to another mac and boot it from there. I literally ran the OS X Server in my company from a usb drive on an old MacBook Pro until i got around to fix the problems with the actual server machine.
This has saved me twice already as the Hitachi drives Apple uses, tend to die like clockwork after 4000-5000 hours of use with no warning.

PS. As a sidenote... SSDs are more reliable than a normal HDD (not to mention faster) I can't stress this enough, my Server is on two SSDs now. I can't tell you how stress free the setup is, it doesn't feel like a computer but more like a router, it just works... forever. After two years with SSDs my server has had two days of downtime and their health is at 97%, they will literally last 100 years with normal use. I'd go so far as to recommend you buy an SSD and move your old HDD to an external enclosure and use that as a usb backup. (for SSDs i use Plextor / Lite-On M3s (older) or the M6s (newer))

Why do I need to verify my credit card info if an App is free?

Why do I need to have a valid credit card in my Apple Account if an App is free? For example I have been trying to download the free app to Google Earth to my iPad2. I really want to just delete my credit card except for those few times when I buy something. I don't want it on my iPad2 all the time. I know there is a way to do this as the woman at the Apple store did it for me, but now I don't know what steps she took.
Thanks very much.

Because even a free app is recorded as and is considered a purchase for accounting purposes. You receive an email receipt for the free purchase or download, etc.
Your credit card on file is not on your iPad all the time. It is stored on Apple's iTunes servers only. No one that uses your iPad or that has access to your iPad in the even it were lost or stolen can't access your credit card number and other required info in order to use it. In order to download a free or paid app, you must manually enter your iTunes account password, which no one else knows or should not know.

What is the safest app remover for OS X ?

What is the safest app remover for OS X (Yosemite) ?

So I then assume that you want to know when removal app can figure out if another app installed any malware and if so, then remove it? Of if not, just remove "all" the pieces associated with the app?
Is that your "wish"?
If so, I doubt that is gonna be possible. People are pretty clever about how to get bogus software installed as part of another app that appears to be OK, so think it's gonna come down to having somebody else, just as clever hopefully, maybe even more clever, to figure out what exactly is part of an app and then how to remove all of it's pieces. Stick with installing reputable software from the App Store or reputable developers - then you don't need to worry so much about malware.
The two apps that Eric Root referred to are popular. I use one called "AppCleaner 2". I've used AppZapper but not AppDelete. Between AppZapper and AppCleaner I prefer the latter cause it shows you the exact path of the items it's about to delete where AppZapper just shows the name (not the path which is very important I think), plus AppCleaner seems to do a more thorough job at finding more files pertaining to the app you're trying to get rid of. For example here is what AppZapper and AppCleaner show when removing the same app named AppleWadministrator:
So AppCleaner found two other files that AppZapper didn't and it shows the paths of all items that it wants to delete.
But like Eric Root also said - double check all the files that the app cleaner is gonna delete and make sure they make sense.
Another thing that has helped me many times is to take a screenshot of the app cleaner window - this lets you have a record of the files that were deleted for a particular app (and also the path it came from for AppCleaner but not for App Zapper) so in case you need to recover things from the trash later you know where they should be moved back to.
Not sure if the "AppDelete" Eric Root referred to is the "AppDelete Lite" in the App Store or not, but if it is, it's $3.99. AppZapper costs $12.95 (but I'v seen it for about half that in MacUpdate promos) and AppCleaner is free, but they can't be obtained from App Store, but from the developers website. Also the "AppDelete Lite" hasn't been updated since May 2014, so it's not clear if it supports Yosemite or not. There is a version called "AppDelete" from the same developer as the "AppDelete Lite" so they must be similar. The AppDelete says it's $7.99 on the developer web site at (but apparently not available on the App Store) and they also have a free trial for the "AppDelete" version. Apparently the main difference between the two versions of AppDelete and AppDelete Lite, is the Lite version can't remove password-protected files to the trash because "App Store apps cannot ask for passwords" according to the developer website at http://www.reggieashworth.com/appdeletelite - the user must do the removal manually with the Lite version but not the full version.
I just checked RoaringApps website for OS X compatibility and:
     AppCleaner -- works on version 10.6 thru 10.10 (Snow Leopard thru Yosemite)
     AppDelete -- works on version 10.7 thru 10.9 (Lion thru Mavericks)
     AppZapper -- works on version 10.6 thru 10.10 (Snow Leopard thru Yosemite)
AppZapper can be found at http://www.appzapper.com
AppCleaner can be found at http://www.freemacsoft.net
So maybe Eric Root has some experience and could compare AppDelete with AppCleaner and say if AppDelete is worth paying $8 for the full version or $4 for the Lite version or if AppCleaner for free has some deficiencies compared to AppDelete.
Good luck...

What to do if app is crashing on iPhone

What to do if app is crashing on iPhone?

Delete the app
DELETING APP
Hold your finger on the app you want to delete until it wiggles then tap the “x” to delete the app and tap the home button to stop icons from wiggling. Note that native apps that came preinstalled with the phone cannot be deleted. Deleting an app also deletes all of its data. You can re-download any app you’ve purchased from the App Store, free of charge. Alternatively you can go to settings/general/usage, tap on the app you want to delete and then on the next screen tap “delete app”.
Download it again

Is it possible I can create an iOS app for free???

Is it possible I can create an iOS app for free??? I don't care what site, I just wanna know and how to add the new app to the App Store.....

You need to pay a yearly fee of $99 dollars (US) in order to be able to test the apps on your ipod and post to the app store. Other than that creating apps are "free".
