Why doesn't Apple come out with a karaoke software for mac?

I bought a Mac Intel based specifically as I was told Intel was more compatible with software I wanted. I am looking for karaoke software that will let me add lyrics and sync them to the audio portion of the file which is called a karaoke disc CD plus G to mean graphics but which is really just text rolled by the screen in time to the music. not necessarily a graphic.
this disc is then taken to someone's karaoke machine and performed. Everywhere I go there is free software to do this, but only for a PC, tons of software free that I can't touch, unless I turn this mac into a windows vista or other. that is also costly.
I have a software called TunePrompter, and another called Audacity. installed on my snow leopard is Idvd creator software. I am currently experimenting with it. I also have Express burn but it's $40 to get it registered and since my trial period expired before I opened it, I don't know if it will burn a CDG disc. or CDG file.
does anybody know if Express burn has the right drive for a CDG? I cannot seem to find on my puter specs information, but I'll bet it has the HL-DT-ST mac drives which I heard would allow me to burn a CDG easily.
I don't know if garage band would do any of this. It certainly wouldn't sync lyrics to music would it? My Tune Prompter allows me to add lyrics, find them on the net, and add them and sync them. then it saves them to either Quicktime or movies.
I've done some experimenting with DVD but haven't taken the finished discs to play on a universal karaoke player yet, but heard that these machines can play a karaoke DVD also. it's not prob getting music burned, it's a big prob for mac users to burn the lyrics with the sub channel of the disc.
Was hoping Apple could produce something like Kjams for us. as it is now I'd have to buy Kjams, along with Kjams producer, along with the burner plug; all this for 150.  PC users are making karaoke with their free software. whaaaaa!!! ok Mac, that's my 2 cent desire.

Hi. kJams is great. Works just like iTunes. It's not expensive for the amount of work it's taken to produce and I can tell you as someone who has used it professionally it's head and shoulders above anything else out there.
try running Karaoke on a Windows PC and after it's crashed a few times and your singers are getting rially p@ss@d at you you will once again see the benefits of why you are using a Mac.
iTunes so called karaoke discs are not true karaoke because iTunes cannot sell the discs that are cd-g format and it's specifically cd-g that karaoke video requires to show the words.
iKaraoke Tune Prompter lets you create your own Karaoke cd-g tracks and is as equal to anything I've seen on a PC and it's free software too.  So get creating.

  • Will apple come out with a iTrip device for nano?

    Will apple come out with an iTrip device made for the nano? I just spent 250 on it and I don't want to have to spend another 80 more for the monster cable!!!

    If you specifically are referring to the iTrip, it's made by Griffin Technology; you'll have to ask them if they'll be releasing one for the nano.

  • Has Apple come out with patch for iPhone-Bluetooth connection problem?

    I have a Mini Cooper with Bluetooth compatibility and it was compatible with my iPhone for a couple of months, but I have found out that it only syncs up with iPhone software versions of 2.0 or 2.0.1. It seems that when I downloaded tunes on my iPhone from iTunes, it automatically "upgraded" my software on my iPhone to 2.0.2, which now makes it imcompatible with my Mini's bluetooth. Has Apple come out with the patch for this problem yet? I can't believe I'm the only one with this problem. If Apple doesn't advertise the patch for this pretty soon, I'll be blogging for help on this throughout the Internet. I have called Apple....they have put me on eternal hold and still have not given me a positive answer on this dilemma. Apparently the "senior" software guys haven't gotten the word on this coming problem for them. Needless to say my frustration is to the point of chucking this attractive nuisance into the river and going back to a less sophisticated form of communication. Anyone have any information on this? Thanks in advance.

    You can send feedback to Apple regarding your issue with the Mini - http://apple.com/feedback . You could also contact Mini and see if they are working on a patch for their bluetooth.
    I haven't had the fuzzy picture issue except when my hand shakes while taking a picture. There will never be a perfect update where no one has a problem. If you wait for the perfect update, you'll never update any electronic device.

    Will apple come out with a update after iOS 6 for Siri to available for download in the AppStore? I think apple should charge iPad 2 users about 10 dollars to let us get it

    Like what penguin said......If apple doesnt say it, I wouldnt believe it. I just read an article this morning SPECULATING Siri for the Ipad 2 around holiday time. Its those websites jobs to speculate which attracts readers(like me for example). I highly doubt it though.

    souvikfromKolkata,
    you’ll know as soon as the rest of us do if Apple decide to produce a new non-Retina model. My guess would be that they won’t do so, but that’s only a guess.
    With Internet, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint representing your main usage, either a MacBook Pro or a MacBook Air would be suitable for you.

  • Sync problem with Blackberry Desktop Software for Mac

    Can someone help. I have synchronization problem with my contact in the Outlook for Mac using blackberry desktop software for mac. Seems all details in my blackberry handheld contact got synchronized, but not email addresses (so all names, jobs, companies, work phone, mobile - all got synchronized, but not email addresses). All data is in my handheld. I wish I could just "replace" (not merge/sync) outlook contact with all contact in the handheld but seems there is no option to do that. Let me know please if someone has similar experience and has found out solution. Thanks!

  • Please come out with a new fix for IOS 7.1 Apple!

    Dear Apple,
    Please create a fix for the battery life issue for ios 7.1 for 5S.
    I have tried restoring the phone to new and problem persist.
    When the phone was new, even when Im on LTE, the battery does not suck at all.
    With LTE, the battery was stable back when the phone was new.
    Now Im losing 2% every minute even with LTE off and other things like Background App refresh and Brightness etc turned off and low.
    5S is too expensive of a phone to have this problem.

    You ARE NOT addressing Apple here by posting in a public user to user technical support forum, a fact that you were made fully aware of when you signed up to the forum and signed and accepted the terms and conditions before joining.

  • Will Apple come out with update for Siri to recognise Asian accent?

    Had a hard time using Siri as most of the time it cannot recognise the words that I said.
    And Siri doesn't allow search to be done outside US.
    This really make Siri not that attractive in Asian.

  • TS1702 When will Apple come out with a new update because the last one totally screwed up my Ipod? Whenever I try to get on an app, it crashes. I can't even download any more apps. I can't get on safari or most apps without it crashing.

    Why does the new update for IPod screw up the function? I can't get on hardly any of my apps, let alone, download any more apps either. I am one unhappy person.

    Did you already try to set it up as new device, without using the backup afterwards?

  • Why doesn't Google+ work in some versions of Firefox for Mac?

    I had a problem a couple of months ago, where Google+ no longer worked properly through Firefox. After the next automatic update, the problem was resolved. However, the most recent update has rendered Google+ useless once again. I can load the page, but none of the links do anything when I click them, and the chat/hangout options do not load on the right hand side either.
    Please could you stop changing whatever it is in the updates that toggles this problem, or tell me how to fix it.
    Cheers,
    Rob

  • Why doesn't Apple Retail Store sell MacBook pros with SSD?

    I have read that it is because they only sell MacBook Pros with the most reliable technology and because SSD still needs to be proven.
    So many rumors Out there make the purchase decision really tough.
    And, why doesn't apple offer a 7,200 rpm drive for the 13" mbp? According to the forum, the 13" can take it???

    I have read that it is because they only sell MacBook Pros with the most reliable technology and because SSD still needs to be proven.
    So many rumors Out there make the purchase decision really tough.
    If you are interested in SSD reliability, that is not a very simple question to answer, given that there are many factors involved in the idea of "reliability" and if you start to do some research in the area, the idea of "reliability" will likely extend to questions about performance and cost. These questions can then get rather technical, and would likely extend to "performance under specific conditions of use" and "cost versus perceived and actual benefit".
    Apple currently lacks TRIM support for SSDs, but various SSDs vendors have addressed this issue in one way or another. This is typically through a proprietary implementation of the SSD controller, and, in general, how it handles garbage collection to offset the lack of TRIM support.
    Although rumors may lend to the difficulty in making a decision about whether to wait for a certain technology or not, "off the cuff" user experiences also flood the posts. ABC is super fast, XYZ is faster. It is great to hear about user experience, but sometimes it is useful to go beyond these. Benchmark tests can actually size some of this up into quantitative values, but then often times benchmarks, by their inherent nature, are addressing a very specific set of circumstances. So, what their results might show don't necessarily always carry over to a use case with different parameters.
    The market for SSDs is relatively new and currently there is no market standard for many of the sub-technologies that go into making one. In this sense it is a little like the "Beta and VHS" battle of old, but less delineated since even within the distinction between TRIM vs No-TRIM support, their is no shortage of proprietary endeavor to produce an SSD that does not require TRIM. And then while all of that is going on, the SSD market - aside from the TRIM / No-TRIM issue is still evolving at quite a rapid pace.
    And just to wrap the whole thing up into the larger context, HDDs have obviously been around for some time now, but there is still no shortage of debate on which is the "best". Although, I will say that given their relative market maturity, HHD debates do tend to have less of the current "hoopla" and fanfare and that many SSD vendors may actually be counting on to catch your attention.
