One of the primary reasons why it' so very hard for folks to get what exactly they need in living is basically because they really don't need what they believe they do, if you should be one of them you will certainly require this book https://tr.im/lQqy0 , Manifestation Miracle.

Answer 6

I started with Windows and switched to Mac at the suggestion of my roommate at the time who was a PC programmer-- "You're a photographer. You need Mac." Simple as that.



Ten years go, Microsoft Office was not great when sharing documents between Windows and Mac OS. Nowadays, it is 99.99% faultless. Any Word doc created in OS X Word is fine in Windows Word. I share such documents with my students all the time, no complaints, no questions.



You have several options in office software...

-- MS Office for Mac. Does everything the Windows version does, costs a pretty penny.

-- Pages / Keynote / Numbers, each costs $19.99 at the App Store. All can open old-style .DOC /.XLS /.PPT fine, edit, save fine. Can open new-stye .DOCX, .XLSX, .PPTX ("OpenOffice XML") files, but can only save them as old style. Keynote has way better transitions than PowerPoint (MS has copied most of the Keynote '06 transitions to try to catch up), but cannot apply more than one song to groups of slides like PowerPoint can.

-- NeoOffice / LibreOffice / OpenOffice can open and save all Office docs, old or new style. NeoOffice version 3.1.2 was free, still works with latest Mac OS, but no longer on the official site. Newer 3.2.1 version is ten bucks. Libre/OpenOffice are free, but rougher to use than Neo-- poor highlighting, no central menu bar.



In general, easier to do keyboard commands in OS X. See link below about screen shots.



Windows has no "central" menu bar at the top. All documents have their own menu bar attached. Two considerations: Screen real estate lost to five menu bars if you have five documents open. Also, close all documents in Windows, the app must quit itself. In OS X, an app doesn't care if you have documents open or not, it keeps on. You have to decide to quit. Creative folks love this, because they can close all documents quickly to work in another app, and come back minutes later to use Photoshop again without launching Photoshop-- it was not quit, so it is just waiting in the background.

Saves time in the publishing--advertising biz where loading a menu of 500 fonts will slow opening Word or PS again.



Some commands are obviously like Windows, but command instead of CTRL: Command A selects all, command C to copy, command V to paste, command N new doc, command W closes the window--oops, not exacly like Windows.



Theming is extremely difficult in OS X, so I suggest do a lot opf research or forget about it.



BEST THINGS: No BIOS, no registry.



About external drives:

Format "Mac OS Extended" to use drive with OS X only.

or...

Buy "Paragon NTFS For Mac", install it, format the drive NTFS for use with both OS X and Windows (share with a PC).

or...

Buy "Paragon HFS+ For Windows", install it in Windows to use any Mac drive with Windows.

Apple's Time Machine backup only works with "Mac OS Extended".

or..

Partiton the drive, format one partition Mac, other NTFS.

but...

Do not format any large drive FAT-32. FAT format is for small drive volumes. It is a bad format to use with large drives-- kills efficiency.

Answer 7

All new Macs come with iLife installed which is iPhoto, iMovie, Safari, iTubes, Garage Band, etc. There is no bloatware. The software is easy to use and top rated. You'll have a minimal word processor called TextEdit which will open and save in Word formats. If you want Office for the Mac, you'll have to buy it. The documents, charts, etc. it produces will open and save just like a Windows computer and will open on any Windows computer. If you are transferring or saving documents to a USB flash drive, make sure it is formatted to a FAT 32 format which will work on both Windows and Macs. Other than that, enjoy. Macs are highest rated for tech support, reliability, and customer satisfaction.

Answer 9

* You will need to get Microsoft Office for Mac. It works much the same way as the PC version. It will recognize documents made on the PC version and vice versa. Most word processors for the Mac will read and write to PC document formats, especially MS Office ones.

* Stuff created on a Mac will usually open on a PC just fine. Most document files are interchangeable.

* Many shortcut commands are similar. Most shortcuts using the CONTROL key on a PC use the COMMAND key on a Mac. They work much the same way.

* Bring your USB based PC mouse along with your move to the Mac. Plug it in (no drivers needed). At the mac desktop click on the Apple logo menu, then preferences and then find the Mouse preferences (control panel). Turn on the right click option. Use the right click on the mouse to access the context menus exactly the same way as you do on Windows. Use the right click options until you pick up the Mac way of doing things. It is all quite easy, but its is a comfort knowing you have a fallback when you can't figure out what to do next.

* check out the link below (switching to Mac 101) from Apple. It has many useful tips and help on making the switch to Mac.



Give yourself a month or so to get used to it, don't use PC at all if you can. After that time, then try using a PC. You then find out why Mac users can't understand why PC users won't change.
