What software do I need to run all my website work on my new Apple Macbook

I run my Naval-History.Net site on my new Apple Mac running Windows software with Parallels. The software I use is WORD, EXCEL, PAINT, FRONTPAGE, and COFFEECUP FTP
I have just ordered iWorks which I believe allows me to work on my WORD and EXCEL files. Please recommend low-cost software that can substitute for PAINT, FRONTPAGE and an FTP.
I can't wait to get everything on to my Apple.
Many thanks

You will find iWork a brilliant package for websites.
Learn about Keynote, in particular the graphic capabilities. Take particular note of the ability to build a layered graphic and then export it to tiff, gif, png. But also the ease with which you can add shadows, reflections, do masks, remove backgrounds (alpha), layer text/graphics ... etc.
Export from Keynote as TIFF, then use ImageWell (free image app) to crop and easily get them to a sensible file size.
If you particularly want to edit HTML pages, there are free HTML editors - see VersionTracker.com.
There is always iWeb for web pages. However, given the amount of content you have on your site, do yourself a big favour and try one of the free blogs at wordpress.com. You can create not just a blog (think regular updates as you find new naval history information), but you can also create as many web pages as you want. And no ftp required. You can pay $10 to upgrade to use your own domain. You won't look back.
If you do stay with html/ftp, you can use scp (secure copy) from the Terminal in Leopard to upload. Its a command line tool, but more secure than ftp (basic ftp sends your username/password in the clear text, creating the potential to be hacked).
$ scp file.jpg [email protected]:/yourhtmldirectory
That said, CyberDuck is a good free ftp program for Mac.

  • What software do I need to run executables files

    Hi
    I have application where I acquire data from sensors using stain gauge and thermocouple modules with 6225M DAQ card. Also I am writing some data that i get from a joy stick to a serial port in the same application. In order to run executable file of this application what software do I need?  I installed labview runtime engine in the target machine but it didn't run my program. Do I need to install any drivers for the DAQ card?  i am using labview 8.6.

    Of course you need to install the DAQmx driver. If you have LabVIEW 8.x, when you create the installer, you have the option to install different versions of the driver ranging from a full install to a minimal one. If you have tasks saved in MAX, you would want to install MAX and export your current config. Then select to have the installer import the config on the pc with the exe.

  • MySQL - what software do I need to run this???

    So, I am trying to install MySQL on my Mac ... I download it but then can't seem to find it anywhere. Do I need to be running Mac Server? I am assuming that I don't have the right software on my Mac to run MySQL right now. Anyone know?

    Before you can connect to your newly-installed MySQL, you'll need to secure the installation and create an account for yourself. Start with the installation instructions here:
    http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mac-os-x-installation.html
    In addition to the GUI tools provided by MySQL, I was about to recommend CocoaMySQL, which I see has been abandoned in favor of something called 'sequel-pro':

  • HT204382 what software do i need to play movies on avi file . have connected a external memory disk and all the movies are in avi format.

    What software do i need to install in order to be able
    to play movies in .avi format.
    have connected an external memory and all the entertainment
    files are in .avi format.
    Ansver i get : does not support

    VLC is a good choice. While I don't know if it will play your files, Perian is a helper app for Quicktime which allows you to play a lot of things in the Quicktime Player.
    There is also Flip4Mac which allows you to play windows media files in Quicktime.
    Finally, note that the extension on a video file doesn't really tell you what you need to play it. The .avi, .mpg, etc. is only the wrapper around the actual video. The video is encoded by some means and needs to be decoded. The video inside the .avi can be encoded in one of many different schemes.
    VLC, Perian, Flip4Mac, and many others, are all able to decode various flavors of encoding. Having all of those in your toolbox will help to allow you to play most of the things you'll find.

  • What Software do I need???

    Hi folks,
    I'm new to BO so to start from scratch I'm trying to figure out what desktop Software I have to put on my workstation to unleash the full power of BO, work with our BO server and get the SAP Best Practice for BI up and running. I downloaded the following stuff from service.sap.com:
    - Xcelsius 2008
    - Crystal Reports 2008
    - BO XI 3.1 Edge
    I kind figured these would be the most recent releases.
    I first installed Xcelsius, then Crystal Reports. When installing BO XI 3.1 it gave me an error that it can't be installed with Crystal Reports already there. So I uninstalled Crystal Reports 2008 and installed BO XI 3.1 . The SAP Best Practice BI scenario comes with a lot of .rpt files which are Crystal Report Project files as of my knowledge. But I can't install Crystal Reports anymore. I guess because of BO XI 3.1
    So I wonder what software I actually need. I haven't found any source that clearly states what applications to install for what reason and in what version. It would be really great if someone could bring some light into this!

    Hi Robert,
    You can install a Virtual station software like VMWare and stuff like that.
    After installing VMWare please allocate some space for this and then install the OS with that then you can install the Crystal reports.
    Where you can use the Crystal reports and BO at the same machine.
    Hope this helps...
    Regards,
    Ravi Kanth

  • What cable do I need to run a slide show with music on a projector at a meeting? I have a Mac Book Pro.

    What cable do I need to run a slide show with music on a projector at a meeting? I have a Mac Book Pro.

    Hi jackwyatt,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you would like to connect your MacBook Pro to a projector to output the display and sound, the cables and adapters you need will vary depending on the specific model MacBook Pro that you have.
    I recommend this page for getting a good idea of which adapters you might need:

    Additionally, the tips in this article can also apply to using a projector as a display:

  • HT1338 What software do i need to download for my new HP Photosmart 5510 ePrinter to work on my new iMac

    I have just bought a new HP Photosmart ePrint printer. I could not download the software on to my new iMac. What software do i need to down load from HP to make my printer compatible with iMac.

    With reference to this article from Apple that lists the models of printer drivers available from Apple for Lion and Snow Leopard, there are a couple of HP Photosmart 55xx printer drivers in the list. So if all was well with your  iMac then the driver should be downloaded and installed when you connect to the printer. With this not happening you can try installing this HP Driver update. It contains all the HP models in that driver list - that's why its over 500MB - and it may be just what you need to get this printer connected.

  • What software do I need to purchase/subscribe?

    I'm planning to do the $143.88 subscription for PLUS on FormsCentral.  I will be creating probably no more than 15 forms per year.  I will need to create forms, maintain them, do reports and gather data on membership information, registration of events/conferences and simple surveys.  What software do I need to purchasein addition to my yearly subscription on FormsCentral? Adobe Acrobat X? Adobe FormsCentral?  I'm not getting a clear picture on what is necessary as I read through the site.  I may need to have access to maintain the forms on both my laptop and my desktop.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Mike;
    You don't need anything in addition to the subscription to FormsCentral.  If you want to distribute your forms as PDF as well as (or instead of) on the web you might want Adobe Acrobat XI so you can further edit the PDFs, but that is not necessary and is really up to your needs.
    If you were to consider Acrobat you should look at this subscription "Acrobat Plus" which gives you Adobe Acrobat XI on a subscription basis plus some great online services including FormsCentral: https://www.acrobat.com/acrobatplus/en/home.html
    When you use FormsCentral in a web browser you can access it from any computer or laptop and have access to all the same data, one of the great things about a SAAS (software as a service).  The one exception to that is in the Acrobat Plus subscription you get the desktop application of Acrobat to install which would only work on two computers, the included services would be available from any computer.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • What software do I need to install to play some games MacBook Pro Mid 2014

    Hello, what software do I need to install to play some games - MacBook Pro Mid 2014. Games like : Alan Wake, Assassin's Creed, Boarderlands 2, FarCry series, Crysis, etc.

    Assassin’s creed II and Borderlands 2 are in the Mac App Store.
    The other’s don’t appear to be ported to OS X. You’d have to install Windows in one of the various ways, Bootcamp (native boot) or Virtualization (VMWare, Parallels, VirtualBox). Games under Virtualization probably don’t run well.
