Where to get Mac software?

I just got two imacs - one for myself and one for my wife. Being new to Apple computers, we would like to where is the best places to buy Mac software, or maybe Freeware? Any suggestions as to web sites would be most appreciated. One of our main concerns (having just come from the PC world) is finding web sites that are trustworthy, i.e., no malicious codes, spyware, etc.

I would spend time at these sites where Mac software is reviewed.

http://www.macworld.com/
http://www.tuaw.com/
http://www.applelinks.com/
http://technologizer.com/
I also like
http://www.maczot.com/
as a place to get a bargain.
And, then there is:

  • Where to get Mac OS 9.1?

    Hello, I heard that Apple provides downloads for these old OS systems. I did find an old link to a 9.1 disk image but the link is no longer valid. Where would I be able to find this now? Thanks for any help!
    http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English -North_American/Macintosh/System/Older_System/System_7.5_Version_7.5.3/

    Apple does not provide downloads for any complete OS later than OS 7.5.3. All downloads for OS 9.x and OS 8.x from Apple are updates only, which require a specified pre-existing OS version to be already installed before the update can be installed.
    If you need OS 9.1, you can get if from sites like Hardcore Mac; unfortunately, their prices are high. Other possible sources would be an Apple User Group (most universities and larger sities have them); or perhaps Ebay or similar.
    Note that if your machine needs a model-specific version of OS 9.1, no other version will suffice including a retail version. However, a retail version of OS 9.2.1 should work with such a machine.

  • Wher to get Mac OS X 10.5/leopard DVD and matching Ilife

    I have a power mac G4, 1,5GHz with Mac OS X 10.4.11 and want to upgrade to 10.5 Leopard and new version of Ilife. Is it still possible to get hold og this?

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard installation system requirements
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24950
    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

  • Where to get Mac OS DVD

    When I bought my MacBook Pro it had lion os. I upgraded to mountain lion. I want to install windows 7 using boot camp. It's asking me to insert my Mac OS disk. But I don't have one. How do I get one?

    The Current versions of Boot Camp don't ask for the Mac OS disk, they ask you for the Windows Drivers disc (or USB stick).  What version of BootCamp Assistant ar eyou running on your Mac OS?  It almost sounds like you pulled out an older Snow Leopard DVD to install Boot Camp, and now it wants you to use the Snow Leopard DVD for the Windows support files (as they are in a second session on the install DVD).

  • Satellite L300: Where to get free software available for HD-DVD playback

    I have a toshiba Satelitte L300 and an xbox 360 hd-dvd drive.
    Can i get the Toshiba hd dvd player software without having to pay as i originally have the normal dvd play software?
    If not does anyone know if there is any freeware software available for hd-dvd playback
    Thanks

    Hi neill64,
    Im a little bit confused about your posting. I dont understand why your Xbox 360 has something to do with your notebook.
    For watching HD DVDs you need a drive that can read this kind of disk. Furthermore as Mike30 wrote HD DVD player is preinstalled on all notebooks with such a drive. Alternative you can use VLC media player for watching DVDs. I also use this player!

  • Does anyone know how and where to get the software the creates a ripple effect on the screen when you click you mouse?

    I have been searching for the download, or software which creates a ripple effects or waves when you click anywhere on screen with the mouse pointer. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!

    Waves
    Your screen gets liquified with Waves, which creates a rippling radius around your cursor. Drop a rock in to watch your screen undulate and shimmer, without any nasty chemical aftereffects. You can rock the boat just a little, or hang ten until you're seasick with the wavelength options.

  • Where to get Toshiba software providing clock/city temp/rate details

    I used to have a Toshiba programme on my A660 laptop where I could see instantly the clock, temp. in my city, Rates of Exchange, etc. but I have lost it due hard-drive fell and wondered if someone knows what it's called so I can re-download it ?
    Thanks

    All Toshiba tools and utilities can be downloaded from Toshiba EU driver page
    http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
    I assume you are talking about software or utility which was part of the Toshiba image.
    The Toshiba image is a package containing the Widows system, Toshiba driver, Toshiba tools as well as other 3rd party software.
    Im not quite sure if the described software was developed by Toshiba or by 3rd party company.
    In case its Toshiba software, you will find it on the Toshiba driver page as mentioned above.
    Would recommend you to check the Service Station, Bulletin Board, Bulletin Board Assistant or Toshiba ReelTime
    But if such tool was developed by 3rd party company, you will not be able to download such tool anymore due to copy right rules.

  • Where to get Mac OS X Server 10.5 (Leopard Server)?

    Hi All,
    My colleague is an ADC Member (paid a couple hundred dollars for this). He was able to download Mac OS X Server 10.6 (Snow Leopard) for FREE. He tried to search for a link to download Mac OS X Server 10.5 (Leopard Server) but could not find anything.
    As an ADC Member, is there any way to request a link to download Leopard Server for FREE?
    We need Leopard Server for development purposes.
    Thank your very much.

    Hi
    http://developer.apple.com/contact/
    and ask the question. I somehow doubt it but you never know? I think it's still possible to purchase Leopard Server through Service Support rather than Sales? Otherwise you're probably looking at buying it from the Web:

  • Procuring Mac software in India

    Firstly, I am not sure if this is the right place to post this question. If not, my apologies. I am forced to post this due to my frustration in getting mac related software in India. I live in Chennai, India, and I was wanting to get Leopard when it is released. To my dismay (after calling the Indian helpline number) I got to find out that the software will be available only after 2 weeks!! After two weeks, I did not get to know from them. Now, when I wanted to procure iWork, I am told it would take end of December, a good 5-week wait. Is there a better way of getting Mac software in India.
    Thanks for your answers

    I do have the iWork08 trial version. One of the resellers were able to get me the iLife08 for me, and iWork08 trial was available in it. But the trouble was when I asked for the full version and they said it is not available anywhere in India and would take a full month to ship from Singapore. I tried calling the Apple helpline number in India and they were of not much assistance. I just cant imagine that we (in India) can't get Apple software as wished. I would imagine that India in an emerging market, especially for Mac users (I am first time Mac user) and this is issue has caused me to think how easy it is for me to get the updates in India (hey, Apple guys, are you listening?)
    I need to check if Amazon would be able to ship me the software. Thanks a million for all your replies

  • Where do the photos imported from my xperia to my macbook using bridge for mac software get stored?

    Using bridge for mac software, I tried to import photos from my xperia to my macbook.  It was shown that the import was successful. But I cant find the imported pictures in my iPhotos folder or anywhere else.  Why is it so?

    Sounds really strange. What if you try to import the photos once again?

    thanks

    System files are hidden by default in Finder now, search for what you want then click the little + button on the top right of the bar that appears when you do a search. A new bar comes up and click the first box (that says "Kind"), change it to "System Files". Then change the box that says "aren't included" to "are included" and your file should show up.
