For What do you like and dislike about a Mac OS and why??? try this:

• Making a choice between an operating system is pretty hard. I never considered Mac OS to be my main operating system because: ... 1. It only runs on Apple computers. These days, when Windows and Linux both work on Macs, I would consider Mac OS only running on Apples a somewhat shady business practice. ... 2. The choice of software for Mac OS is rather small. There are countless programs like download managers and instant messengers for Windows and Linux, but the choices are limited to two or three on Mac OS. ... 3. Due to the much smaller market share that Mac OS has, Mac OS software is somewhat overpriced ... 4. Lower end Apple computers are not powerful enough to keep up with all the eyecandy that Mac OS X has. ... 5. Getting to do complex things and changing settings is often awkward and requires tons of clicking around. It makes the OS unappealing for power users. ... ... What I do like however is that it is more or less idiot proof. Even a complete beginner can get most things working. A further advantage for that particular user group is that the chances of catching a worm or virus are minimal on Mac OS compared to Windows XP

Mac OS or Windows?

gimme a break.... can you tell me how much time it takes to copy a file in vista...
For Mac OS or Windows? try this:

• Windows Vista definetly, Windows Vista is much better than Mac OS X.
  
• Definetly Windows. It may crash a lot, but that may be because you have not had the time to clean up your computer and run some maintainance on it. I have two computers, one is new, the other one is old, REALLY old, 1997 in fact, but I have maintained it a bunch and it runs just as well as my new one! Mac OS, don't get me started. Even if you do your best to maintain it, it will freeze. And other times, you just don't know what will happen. Will it freeze, or won't it? And the hardware on it just sucks entirely. My school uses Mac, and in the past 3 months there have been 2 hard drive crashes, one motherboard melted (still don't know how it happened) and some of the computers are just unstable entirely! They've reimaged all of them and still, same trouble. STICK WITH YOUR PC!
  
• Windows and mac cost WAY to much. Linux is a very stable operating system, and everything is FREE. If you get the right version, it is also very easy to use. I recommend Ubuntu. Any windows user should be able to catch on really quick to Ubuntu.
  
• Each of them has it's advantages and disadvantages.
  
• I prefer windows. Mac OS... too much stuff. Gets annoying

Mac OS on XP

Is there a way that I can install a program like bootcamp on my XP computer and then install the MAC OS too so that i can switch and use whichever one i want to?
For Mac OS on XP try this:

• Simaple answer is yes ... ... first off go to http://www.osx86project.org/ ... ... send could be going to a bittorrent site such as the following ... ... isohunt.com ... mininova.org ... newnova.org ... ... and soo on and download a patched OSX X86 DVD ... ... ether use vmware or do a out of the box install on your pc ... ... I for one em a big fan of the hackatosh aka mac on pC
  
• look here ... http://www.osx86project.org/
  
• Go to http://www.osx86project.org/ to find out how
  
• I don't know if there's an app like BootCamp for Windows, but if you can somehow obtain an x86 version of OS X, it is possible to dual boot between it and XP.

Mac OS X on a PC?

Is it possible to run a Mac OS X on a PC? If "yes" HOW? If "not" WHY? Because Windows is running on Macs.
For Mac OS X on a PC? try this:

• Yes, you can. This website has a program that will allow you to do this via this link ... ... http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/about.html ... ... Good instructions on how to do it are listed here ... ... http://www.windowsdevcenter.com/pub/a/windows/2005/01/18/PearPC.html ... ... If that won't work, you could try to use a second hard drive and install it there.
  
• Yes, you can put windows on a mac but i don't see why you would want to. Step 1: go to http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore?productLearnMore=MA453Z/A buy mac osx tiger or a diffrent one. Step 2: Get the cd the put it in your computer the installation should start then follow th on screen instructions. ... Step 3 : get ready to break out the activation code during or after setup it'll ask for a activation code punch it in and u should be ready to go.

What is better a mac or a pc (Windows or Apple)?

Yes, what type of computer is better. I know Vista is the latest version of windows, and Apple just launched Leopard OS X.
For What is better a mac or a pc (Windows or Apple)? try this:

• With Apple you have OS capabilities based upon hardware. Out of the box, Apple offers some excellent software included in the bundle, but any special additional software requires purchase of a legit copy of the software you want. An upgrade of the Mac OS might include all new hardware as a requirement, and then you're faced with upgrade of your software library. Drivers for the external hardware on a Mac can present a problem.
  
  For add-ons and software choices, pc, at the XP level.
  
• I used Windows for 10 years, and recently switched to Mac OS X with Leopard. I would highly recommend a Mac. It is wonderful for watching movies and playing music, and also, it is highly advisable for designing and also programming as all compilers for almost every language is already installed on Mac.
  
  So, ultimately Mac is the best choice. Leopard is a wonderful operating system and way better than Vista.
  
• ive nvr used a mac cept in like 1st grade lol but from what ive heard from friends that have them they LOVE them but they better because they cost soooo much more
  
• I have had both Mac's and PCs.
  
  In the beginning, I was all for Macs, but my opinion changed.
  
  Now, it's PC's all the way.
  
  Macs are good for people who are afraid of computers and have no experience working with them because the user interface is easier to interact with than Windows. But, I did notice that Mac's system software became less user friendly over the years, so today, I am not sure if Mac's are that much easier to use than PC's.
  
  Macs are also good if you plan on getting into something such as Graphic Arts.
  
  However, Mac's are more expensive. The software is more expensive and the software you have to choose from is far more limited than for a PC's.
  
  I have come to love PC's and wouldn't ever go back to a Mac.
  
• pc vista
  
• I've used both and and i prefer Apple. It is faster, not only when turning on the computer or running applications but also on the internet. They also have a very sensitive airports so you can connect to the internet in more places and pick up a signal. Also they come with so many programs that help you be organized. You can also run Windows on an Apple computer if you like. Another good thing about Apples is that they receive hardly any viruses. I've had my Apple laptop for 2 years and havent had a single virus or problem with it.
  
• windows xp and mac osx
  
• It really depends what you prefer. Personally i prefer Windows Vista. But apple is probably better if all you are going to do is play movies and songs on it. Windows is still good for this too though. It really depends on what you need to use it for
  
  i hope this helped :) :) :)
  
• It completely depends on what you want to do with your computer. If you're going to use it simply for personal use, then a Mac might be more your style. Especially if you want to do video or graphics editing.
  
  However, if you are using it for office work and will need to transfer files from your computer to others and download files from other computers, you should definitely get a PC. Also, if you want a gaming computer, DEFINITELY get a PC.
  
• Sorry but it's Apple hands down
  
• PC with Windows XP or Vista Ultimate is better.

If mac users are so proud of macs, how come I always see windows installed on them??

I have nothing against macs, but people are always telling other people to get macs, etc, because of how great a mac is. The OS is so good and easy to learn etc. Then next thing you know, they also installed a copy of windows on their mac (whether they really use it or not, i don't really know)
For If mac users are so proud of macs, how come I always see windows installed on them?? try this:

• Sometimes a *necessary* piece of software is written *only* for Windows. (The developer of the software hasn't been considerate, or doesn't have the skills, or the time, to develop a version that runs on the Mac.) I have a few programs like that.
  
  Take also, my case. I do websites. Not everyone in the world uses a Mac. I can't develop websites just for Mac users. I have to test on Windows to make sure they look good there, too. The alternative to having two PCs (like, at $2000 for a Windows PC?) is to have a copy of Windows running on the Mac (at like a tenth the price, all told?)
  
  Finally, I'm just now migrating...I traded in my PC for a Mac, and am getting rid of my Microsoft "addiction" (that needle in my arm...), but I'm not an IMMEDIATE expert on MacOSX (like, I'm not omnicient, ya know! and I can't just quit "cold turkey") So I need my copy of Windows to lean on for just a little "hit" now and then (snort, snort).
  
• maybe windows is more popular than mac os so everything runs on windows but not on macs, so, maybe they do that just if they come across something made only for windows then even be able too use it
  
• the reason been you can do much more with a pc than you can with a MAC
  
• Some software is only designed for PCs because there is a bigger market of PC users. The only way you can use those programs in a Mac is by running Windows on it. I have a Mac, and I would much rather have those programs available for Mac OS, but companies are too lazy.
  
• Hi, well Mac users always need programs and games for running which only work on Windows. I noticed this as well, my father has a macbook but he hasn't installed windows on it but everyone else I know with a mac has. Also haven't u noticed that Vista aero interface is like a million times better than Leopard's plastic metal aqua interface, Mac users no doubt like it.
  
  Myself I use Linux and I think as well that Linux is better than both Windows and Mac OS X.
  
• I have often wondered this. One thing is for sure is Linux is superior to both.
  
• The only people I know who have Windows installed on their Macs (and I know a lot of them) have it there so they can test webpages they write in Internet Explorer. They do all their actual work in native OS X applications.
  

Mac OSX???

How does Vista look anything like OS X?
I'm on a MAC at my school right now and I see almost now similarities. And Vista seems to be a bit faster, too. The mac I'm on is a beast (core 2 duo 2.2 GHz 4gb RAM) and it's slower than my home computer running Vista (1.9GHz dual-core 2 GB slower RAM)
For Mac OSX??? try this:

• Mac OS X and Vista both are a bear (they suck up memory like a sponge). it may be that more services, etc are being started on the Mac (not that i'm a Mac fan, coz i'm not...) but generally it's due to the number of applications running, services running, etc not the "speed" of the OS. but the speed of the HDD could come into play...
  
• Hi, come on man we all know those people who say OS X looks better than Vista r all jealous of its interface. I almost puked when I saw Leopard. They r both equally fast and Vista looks a thousand or should I say a million times better then that plastic metal aqua look. Plus I am not a big fan of dock bars either.
  
  What time is it where u r cause I noticed u said u were at school, here its like late night where I am.
  
• I'm running a wireless network; and one of my user is running Mac OS X.
  
  I only noticed that: Vista requires weekly cleanup to make it run smoothly, but not on Mac OS X ...
  
• hell no

Accidentally deleted my Safari bookmarks - Mac help please!?

Late last night I emptied my cache and apparently deleted the wrong Safari files as I now have no bookmarks in Safari. Unfortunately, I had not saved the files to disk. I had tons of brilliant links saved and must have just been in the wrong folder when I deleted the files. Drat!
FYI, I did a "Secure Empty Trash" immediately afterwards and I'm running OS X 10.3.9 on an iMac G5. Is there any way to recover the bookmarks, or am I just plain out of luck?
For Accidentally deleted my Safari bookmarks - Mac help please!? try this:

• On the new OS X you could go go back using Time Machine

  On 10.3 you can't - sorry!

Which Linux Distro should I get?

First off, I'm a linux newbie. I'm just trying to experiment and experience a different OS. It has to be compatible with my Macbook (Intel Mac). And I'm looking for a sleek, polished look, preferably with that crazy "3D Cube" desktop feature that I've seen on Youtube videos! Any help appreciated!
For Which Linux Distro should I get? try this:

• My recommendations, as I have seen nwebies find it easy, from easiest to the harder ones..
  
  Mint Linux
  PC Linux OS
  Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu/Fluxbuntu
  Mandriva
  OpenSuSE
  Sabayon
  Debian
  Fedora
  Slackware
  Gentoo
  
  If you are seriously considering using Linux for long, I suggest you look at one of Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora or Slackware. All are original in their ideas, and all have a good respect among seasoned Linux users.
  
• you can't go wrong with anything debian-based.
  
  Some of my personal favorites are:
  Linux MInt
  Ubuntu
  Debian (I don't recommend it for beginners)
  Damn Small Linux (for really slow computers)
  Puppy Linux (Also for somewhat old computers)
  
• All of them.
  
  Well, maybe not all of them. But anyone who says "You should use this" or "You shouldn't use that" is denying you the very thing Linux embodies: choice.
  
  So I'm going to recommend several that I have tried, and let you see for yourself whether you like them or not.
  
  Ubuntu:
  
  http://www.ubuntu.com/
  
  Kubuntu:

Help......fun......online!?

What are some fun games that you can download on to your computer. My system: Mac Os X P.S. that means that it has to have a mac version or it is a MAC version. Im a girl, and I love games like sims and other life simulation games It has to be something I can find by going to the internet. Oh and it does not matter the rating I love all games I played Grand theft auto at the age of 9!
For Help......fun......online!? try this:

  i dont know any single player downloadable games since youre using a mac, sorry
  
• Emuparadise.org

• I agree that World of Warcraft is the best game you can get for a Mac. That's all I play! Server: Dunemaul, char: Tamin!
  
  Come join the fun :-)
  
  Though I guess it's not an online game in the sense that it's not embedded into a browser. If you're looking for something you can play while at work, then I really can't help out in that department :-(
  
• play world of warcraft its fun. and if you do get into it, my server is muradin if you wish to hang with meh.

will an 80GB 5th Generation ipod work with the latest version of itunes, runnning on mac os x leopard (10.5)?

I'm considering downgrading from a 160GB classic as i don't like the fact that the classic has a much lower volume limit than the previous models.
the volume limit set to its highest point still doesnt compare with the volume from the previous models i've heard. changing the volume of the songs in itunes simply means that the maximum volume is reached halfway up the bar instead, which is the same loudness as before!
so you believe it is a faulty product?

• Of course it will, except I don't think the volume is lower... You probably already know all this, but have you checked the volume limit under settings on you're iPod? It usually comes with the volume slightly limited, but can easily be turned up...also you can adjust the volume of you're songs in iTunes- if you click "Get info" on a song, and then adjust the volume of it somewhere in those settings...hope that helps! I wouldn't downgrade if I were you, but I'm not and won't be so there ya have it, lol...I guess I crack myself up. :)
  
• Get a free iPod Video from this site, just by signing up and completing a few simple online tasks. It really works!
  
• Every single iPod should work with the latest iTunes.
  
  As for the volume limit, be sure to check settings to see if the default volume limit is set. iPods come set with 80% max volume as the limit. (except for the iPod Touch and iPhone)
  
  There is no way that you have maxed the volume limit in settings for your iPod classic and aren't satisfied. That thing will kill your ears.
  
• it should ipod will sync with the program when you plug it in
