Why should I come back to a Mac?

Why should I come back to a Mac?
I need real reasons...
Facts I'm a Web/Graphic Designer who hates Adobe & Loves Corel... I just loose less hair with Corel. It does what I want without jumping through the hoopes to get there.
I know, I can use Painter on the Mac...
What cheap 3D apps can I use on the Mac?
What none Adobe Apps can I use on the Mac for Web/Graphic Design?
I use Dreamweaver MX for one real good reason it cleans up MSO Junk Coed!
I need a TV Tuner, I have a ATI AIW x600 Pro in a Shuttle XPC.
It looks like the iMac is the best bang for the buck?
Last but not least, why is there no Apple Stores in East Texas???
My last Mac was IIsi w/ System 7.1 back in the 90's...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I also know that the Mac was first to be hacked in hacking contest 3 years in a row. This year the Mac was Hacked in only 10 seconds; sad but true.

It's pretty awesome using one right now

I have no idea about that one, but hopefully one will be there soon.

w00t! A lot has changed since. I think you will pleasantly be surprised!

I've had OSX since Tiger in 2004 and have never been hacked or had a breach ever. These professional hacking contests typically invoke the same professional hackers that use the same exploits that are very hard to get to in the first place, and if I remember correctly Microsoft sponsored one of them (no joke)
A firewall and a mac is a much better defense than a PC and a firewall in my opinion.

Why do I come back to a different Pages window when I toggle?

why do I come back to a different Pages window when I toggle?

In Mission Control or App Switcher?
Are the pages windows on the same desktop or different?
Playing around with it I see that if they are on different desktops, the focus changes to the document on the Desktop where Pages was opened.
If I set Pages to a specific Desktop, but move a document to another Desktop, it doesn't do what you describe.
So, try assigning Pages to a Desktop in the Options submenu of the Dock icon contextual menu. Then, move your documents around as you like and see what happens.

Why do episodes come back after I delete them?

After I delete podcasts from the iPhone they always come. Ack the next day. They are showing all the way back to December.

But it's only supposed to download new content. So if I delete old items, then I expect to only auto download the new items from that day.

Thrid party application wont delete in trash- comes back

i have downloaded a thrid party applciation named 4easy dvd ripper; the free version . I tried to get rid of it by droping in into the trash but not all files deleted.. I had to search for every single file that went with it ... The problem is that the actul application that opens up the download box wont erase from my mac. It comes back evry time i place it in the trash.. the trash will take the .dmg application but once i try to delete form the trash it pop back to Doenloads. How can i get rid of thing .. please help

I think i found a solution ... I had to use the secure empty trash option under finder to completely erase it off otherwise if you try to empty the trash using the regular "empty trash" option the item would disappear from trash and would come back to the mac download folder agian ! ... Thanks for the advice though.

Who do you want to be in email for support, etc.? Do you want to be kwarp on the internet and on a resume? What image do you want to project? Individual or business or phantom or...? How good are you at juggling both references? Which would you want on a business card?
I wouldn't want to strictly maintain two IDs (nick versus real), especially for the long term.
Pick one and stick with it. Let the other be incidental.
I also believe these are detailed when doing the contracts, with at least partial explanations of how they will be used, so you can ponder your way during the application process.
Developer ID/Name (as registered by you) shows up as 'seller' as I recall - different from the name version attached to the copyright tag. You could use 'kwarp' as seller with 'greg lieberman' after the copyright and at least for this example, use both.

I have just come back from holiday and started my mac up and I have a white spot next to my Finder, Safari and Mail? why?

Are you talking about the indicator for open applications?
If you're on Lion, it just reopened apps that where open when you shut it down.

Why Should I Buy Another Mac Book Pro

I purchased a Mac Titanium Powerbook back in the day when it was so fresh and new, big bucks. Within 2 years the logic board began freezing all the time. It was fixed with big bucks again. 2 years later the laptop began doing the same thing, freezing up and so I went along with the extremely annoying issue.
When the Mac Book Pro came out I decided to start fresh with a new computer, with big bucks of course. Guess what happened 2 years later as i lived in another town, took it to another Mac repair place. They told me the Logic board was dead. So after big bucks I replaced it, so rediculous. And now, 2 years later it is freezing again, not only that, I can't connect to my wifi anywhere I want to in my own place with my own internet. I have to walk to certain spots in my place so my Mac Book Pro will communicate with my router that always worked with the new Mac Book Pro since day 1. But, after these updates Apple puts out to better the system, at some time it borked my internet connection. Reading these boards and seeing similar problems with other Apple users and seeing there is no solution is decerning. Then seeing a new security update from Apple about detecting virus popups and nothing addressing it's wifi issue is the last straw for me.
My wife bought a Toshiba 4 years ago and we put win7 on it when it came out since vista is disgusting. There isn't one problem with her laptop, nothing. And you can run still get on the internet with a laptop that runs win98. I cant even load a page when I get on my Mac Titanium Powerbook, that has to be connected to the internet via ethernet cable becuase detecting wifi on that is something that never occured, even though it should.
I am on the fence, Mac vs PC? Pricey vs Something that breaks less?
So why should I buy another Mac computer?

I don't think the experiences of a place where people discuss problems is necesarily an indicator of the overall populace using the product. Just as if you went to a hospital, you could not ascertain the relative overall health of everyone who is not in the hospital.
Statistically, you are probably an ideal candidate for a MBP, as it is extremely unlikely that you would have another problem of similar character. That is of course assuming that nothing you are doing is cutting short the life expectancy of your computers.
I am on my 4th MB variant, and have only had one major issue, which was handled terrifically by Apple. However, I am not entirely without worry that an electromechanical device nmade by humans can't fail. That is why I also have had AppleCare on everything.
But we differ in one great respect, I think. I figure that any computer i buy has a maximum life expectancy of 3 years. I have never used a computer longer than that, and I am routinely trading up within that time period. This time will be different though. I've only had my MBA for a little over 6 months, and It can't come any sooner that I'll move to the new one in about a month, if it nears my expectations.
Don't get me wrong, I respect the value you place on longevity. But I really think that unless your activities are especially harsh in a physical manner on your computers, then it is unlikely you will have the same experience once more. I do beleive that the current units are as good or better than anything Apple has had in their notbooks, in terms of quality.
But it is your decision,, that should be based on ALL facts and not just the experiences of those who visit a help forum.

Why does Back To My Mac work for my Time Capsule, but not my MacBook?

I'm having problems using Back To My Mac from work to my home network. Initially, I thought it was something to do with the way the work network had been set up, but recently I realised that I have no problems connecting to my Time Capsule… It's just that I can't connect to my MacBook Pro. It is showing up in the devices on the left panel, but when I try to connect to it, I get this message:
So why can I connect to the Time Capsule HD okay, but not the Mac?

I need to transition my 1st Generation Apple TV from an older instance of iTunes to a new instance of iTunes on my brand new Mac... How do I "switch" from one instance of iTunes to another? How do I get the 5 Digit Code Network to come back on my Screen?

I need to transition my 1st Generation Apple TV from an older instance of iTunes on my iBook to a new instance of iTunes on my new Mac... How do I get the 5 digit Network code to come back? Is there anyway for 1st Generation Apple TV to be synched to two instances of iTunes or do I have to choose one or the other? I appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thanks!

The 5 digit code is every time different. That does not matter. Just integrate every device into your network.
You can connect many computers to Apple TV but syncronisation works exactly with one computer. That's why I use "streaming". But you can sync one computer, then another, and so on. The content on your Apple TV is the content from your computer that has synced last. But you can not mix it.
The new Apple TV has no syncronisation. Everything is streamed,

Just upgraded to OSX mavericks on macbook pro mid 2011 version. Having a big issue here that whenever my mac comes back from sleep, i.e after I open the lid, the screen flickers and there is an error of Finder not opening properly. Any fix to this?

Just upgraded to OSX 10.9 mavericks on macbook pro mid 2011 version. Having a big issue here that whenever my mac comes back from sleep, i.e after I open the lid, the screen flickers and there is an error of Finder not opening properly. Any fix to this?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Why won't my g4 desktop come on. I was trying to boot in safe mode and it would not go in safe mode. It won't come back on anymore. Can some tell me what to do.

Why won't my g4 desktop come on. I was trying to boot in safe mode and it would not go in safe mode. It won't come back on anymore. Can some tell me what to do.

Try Single User mode (Command+S while starting up).
Then, run fsck.
At the command-line prompt type:
/sbin/fsck -fy
Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OKIf fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
When fsck reports that your volume is OK, typerebootat the prompt and then press Return.
Your computer should start up normally and allow you to log in.

TS3623 I have purchased movies using my Apple TV and I've been able to watch them as soon as I purchase them, but if I don't finish watching them and come back (within 24 hours) I cannot go back into the movie. Why is this?

I have purchased movies on Apple TV and I've been able to watch them immediately. However, if I do not finish watching it and come back later the system does not allow me to continue watching and it does not reflect my rental. This used to work fine, why is it not working?

Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.
