What's the best duplicates finder application for Mac OS X?
What's the best duplicates finder application for Mac OS X?
Thank you both! I ended up going for DupeGuru because it was free and it worked well. Easy Duplicate Finder baited me with the promise of free download then when the search was over I got the "buy the software" if I wanted to delete more than 10 files.
DupeGuru worked well and so far I have not been asked for money.
This solves my question.

What is the best e-mail application for Mac OS X?
Currently I use the e-mail client in Netscape 7.2. It seems somewhat dated, but it's what I've used for years. On my Mac I also have Mail (that comes with OS X) and Entourage (which comes with Microsoft Office). Both of them seem more advanced than Netscape. So I think it's time to switch.
Also, I have downloaded Netscape 9 beta, and once the real version is released I will probably ditch 7.2 anyway.
Any advice is appreciated.I'll second the recommendation for Mail, but I'll also say that Thunderbird is the spiritual, if not legitimate child of Netscape mail. There is a new version of the Netscape browser, but I don't think there is a mail application.
Thunderbird gets great reviews. Since I user Mail I can't say much more, other than it is a second option.

What is the best word processing program for mac?
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's the best FTP server software for Mac OS X Server?
What's the best FTP server software for Mac OS X Server?
We have looked at a few different applications out there (Rumpus, CrushFTP, etc...) and are wondering what the community feels.
Apples built -in isn't robust enough. We do need some advanced features (reporting, SFTP, a web interface would be nice etc...).
Opinions?Hi
For me it has to be RumpusFTP Server:
http://www.maxum.com/Rumpus/
It has a secure web interface - no need to open ports 20, 21. No need for dedicated FTP client software for uploading and downloading. Supports the most commonly used browsers. Multi-platform support and can be installed on a standard client OS.

What is the best investment tracking software for macs?
what is the best investment tracking software for macs?
Three issues to consider about an external HD:
1. Connectivity. In other words, USB 2.0 and Firewire. If you intend to move large chunks of data at once, such as when streaming audio or video for professional applications, then Firewire is better suited for that. Otherwise, for normal applications, USB is ok.
2. RPMs. In other words, how fast the HD platter spins around. Most consumer HD have a 5400 rpm (rotations per minute) speed. Some HD have a 7200 or even 10,000 rpm spec. The faster the rotation, the faster the access time, the faster information on the HD can be accessed. Not a critical factor unless you deal with audio or video.
3. Brand. In other words, reliability. Best ones, form my experience, are Seagate and Western Digital. Go for Seagate if you can. I've never had any issues with a Seagate drive. You can also go to your local computer shop and they will have separate drives and enclosures, so you can customize the look and connectivity of your HD.

Handbrake to copy to avi or mp4(I use it for watching my DVD's on the go, so my battery lasts for a longer time)
I think MP4 is better quallity.
To copy a DVD: simply use Toast (maybe withe popcorn, but I don't use it).

What is the best video editing software for Mac?
I am trying to edit videos, specifically .wmv and .mpg files to put in PowerPoint presentations. What is the best software for cropping movies as well as cutting different scenes out of video (i.e. making a 2 minute video into a 30 second video). Thanks so much for the help.
iMovie will not edit WVM nor MPEG-1. You would need to convert the movies to one of the formats iMovie can accept before you could edit them. If you will need the movies to remain or end up in WMV or MPEG-1, I'd suggest looking to a different editor. StreamClip might work for just doing basic editing:

To edit WMV you'll need the paid Flip4Mac plugin from Telestream:

I'm curious what is the best software for creating invoices on a Mac that is free?
Thankyouhttp://www.neooffice.org/ as a stand alone software spreadsheet.

Both are free, and both give you as much customization as you need to create invoices and have automatic calculation that is never "assumed" by the software and only directed by you how it should proceed. -
What is the best hard drive cleaner for mac book pro
I am wanting to clean up my hard drive , any suggestions as to what is the best product for this . I read reviews about ccleaner , which is in the app store but there was some really scary stories ... any suggestions .Thanks
AppStore software has restrictions on what it can do.
If you don't like CCleaner for OS X downloaded from their site (not AppStore), then OnyX for OS X at MacUpdate.com has been a long time favorite to clean the caches, log files and what not for privacy and troubleshooting corrupted caches. Followed by a reboot.
Then a Disk Utility > Erase Free Space with Zero is recommended afterwards to scrub deleted files off the hard drive if that level of privacy cleaning is necessary as deleted files remain on hard drives until overwritten.
If your having performance problems with your computer then look at this for solutions
Why is my computer slow?

What's the best external hard drive for mac?
I recieved the email from Apple saying that my 1tb hard drive may fail becuase it was bought between October 09 and July 11. Anyways, im now looking for an external hard drive to back up all my stuff too. I know i should of thought about getting one a long time ago. I was just wondering what would you guys recomend as a good ehd. I was looking at the Seagate Backup plus 1tb one, and the Western Digital My passport for mac 1tb. Anybody have any bad experiences with those?
It's really just personal preference. I usually just recommend if you've got a 1TB drive in your Mac get a 1TB external drive for time machine. If you want to have a secondary drive after that for storing movies or anything you don't necessarily want to have backed up (you can also setup exclusions in Time Machine) or to save space on your iMac drive that works as well.
If you really want to get good backups a lot of people recommend the 3, 2, 1 model..... 3 backups on 2 different types of media with 1 of those being offsite.
I've got 1TB in my iMac, then I've got a 1TB external drive for Time Machine. Then I have two external 1TB drives I back my system up to (using an app called SuperDuper) that I rotate at a family members house. I'll periodically do a backup, drop it over at their house then bring the other drive back and repeat once a month or so. I've got another drive that I occasionally copy things I don't need access to or care to be backed up. -

Every account you set up can be localized in a different language if you want. So you can have yours in Itallian and your son's in English. The language is determined by what is at the top of the list in system prefs/language & text/language. You just drag the one you want there and logout/login.
