I have an old iBook G4, which I am going to ditch or a brand new Macbook Pro. However I have certain apps (Final cut pro, apperture...) on the iBook and was wondering wether they'd work on the intel chip?
How do Universal apps, actually compare in performance as compared to Intel binary apps? Yeah, sure, they're "native" speeds, but surely there must be some erformance hit? I mean, it DOES contain two binaries.
I just installed (myself) an Intel 120GB SSD into my 2011 iMac (3.4Ghz Quad-Core, 16GB RAM, 1TB HDD). I kept the HDD.Â
I run Logic Pro 9 and have around 200GB of additional sample plugins (VSL Solo Strings, Ivory Grand Pianos, Superior Drummer, etc..) and
I want to know how I can successfully transfer the Apps (Logic, Sibelius, Pages, iTunes, etc...) onto my new SSD while keeping the plugins on my HDD and using them simultaneously. Â
p.s. since some of the apps require registration, I cannot simply drag them to my SSD from the HDD and expect them to work. I get an error.
My iMac is shutting down whenever I try to open an app. Everything was going fine, then I tried to open Skype and was forced to shut down the computer using the power button (there was no error message, just this message to shut down using the power button). I restarted it and deleted Skype thinking there was something wrong with the app. Then I tried opening Firefox and it asked me to shut down again. And it does it whenever I try to oPen any app.
I recently updated my iMac and now none of my applications will open.Checking for a software update that will cure this, but I get the same message that software update has quit unexpectedly.Using Disk Utility I clicked on Verify Disk and I get an error message stating: "Disk Utility stopped verifying 'HD' This disc needs to be repaired.Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X instalation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk."Running Disk Utility from my start up disk that originally came with the computer.I get an error message when clicking on Verify Disk or Repair Disk stating "First Aid Failed.Disk utility stopped repairing 'HD' because the following error was encountered: The underlying task reported failure on exit."

I am a Windows user , An old user since 90's , Yesterday I was really impressed by the new iMac the OS and its smoothness and responsiveness and the sleek interface , I am thinking seriously to switch to Mac but the problem is most games and multimedia apps are not working with the Mac ,major games like GTA IV and FIFA 12 are not compatible and the companies need to make a special version for Mac like Office and Norton So apart from being here in Apple forum ..What's the right decision should I take ..switiching to Mac or waiting for Windows 8 to release ?
I bought a second hand iMac, formatted the HD and installed Snow Leopard 10.6.8 Fixed disk permission, did all the software upgrades, fixed once more permission and verified startup disk... and everything seemed to work fine.
After using it for an hour I've started noticing strange crashes:Â
-When I use Software Update and I click Show Details, the app crashes every time... but if i click the Install button it works fine.
-The computer is connected to the internet but Safari is not showing anything. It stays white. I've installed Firefox and it works fine. Safari not loading anything.
-App Store is crashing upon launch, every timeÂ
Checked the hardware using the Apple disk and it's all in order. Re-fixed Disk Permissions. Re-verified startup disk.Â
I had to do an erase and install on my iMac. All went well and updated (Leopard). I don't have any apps install CD/DVD - only an OSX disc. How do I reinstall the iLife Suite?
My Mac the Ripper and Popcorn quits before they open? A window comes up and said Click to re-open the application and a report will be sent to Apple? I'm using 10.6.8.
It's not fair that there are wonderfull apps for the ipad and iphone but not the computer - if I had of known, I would have went with an ipad at the time of purchase.
I live in the UK and cannot purchase from a US store. How can I change Itunes / Apps store to direct me to the UK store and allow me to purchase from there?
On my iMac, Java applications won't work. I tried opening minecraft, and several other Java applications. All of them have a message that pops up saying, "Not compatible version of Java 1.5+ is available." I tried updating it but their is no update for Java it says on my updater.
I have an iMac that I have a second display hooked up to it. I can move an app (say Safari for example) from one display to another with my Magic Mouse. However, I also have a Magic Trackpad that I would like to do the same thing with, but I cannot figure out for the life of me how to do it. I'd really rather use the trackpad than the mouse because it's more comfortable to me.Â
I have an iMac and it is about 4 years old. For some reason it is very slow starting up, takes about 90 seconds. Opening even a normal app like Firefox takes sometimes 2 minutes.Â
I had the harddrive replaced as part of one of the recall programmes form Apple as the OEM drive was malfunctioning, that made it slightly better, but soon after the old poor performance was back.Â
My hard drive recently failed on my 2007 imac and having not backed up my mac for about 18 months I had to pay specialists to retrieve my data, which they put onto an external drive. I then got a new 1TB hybrid drive installed. Tonight I finally got my computer back. Very naively I was thinking I would be able to pick back up from where I left off. Before my drive broke I had Mavericks and was fully up to date running software like Logic X. Now I am back on 10.6.8. Can I just skip now straight up to Yosemite?
I've tried to go under system preferences> security & privacy> accessibility > then check the app I want to give access too, but it won't register that I have it checked

I have an iMac that is less than a year old and I have very few applications installed other than what comes on it. I recently received a message that my startup disk was almost full. I keep all of my media on an external drive, have an apple time machine that stores the backups. I purchased the Space Gremlin and there is nothing on the hard drive that shows it's taking up that much space. The 500 GB hard drive shows only 11 GB free.

I'm using the newest IMac. And the problem is every time I put data using number (iwork) for accounting, the font is very very little almost unable to see by normal. I must pinching my eyes a little bit to see it clearly. Should I change something in setting and how? and this is happen when using safari too. From the first time I bought it, I never change the setting except to change username and password to login in. So I let it all in default version. I'm using IMac 27-inch, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4 processor 3.1GHz intel core i5. Nothing changed since I bought it till now. It's very annoyed and difficult for me to input, edited, even read it as report.
suddenly, I cannot open safari either from the apps folder or the toolbar. No response whatso ever. Been working ok until this morning. can't even get to the prefs to work anything out..
I am new to iPad, barely have a clue how to use it. I find apps on the iTunes on the computer and download, but it won't sync to my iPad. It keeps saying 'you need to authorize this computer', which I do, only to be told 'it is already authorized', and it goes on like this. The apps can't be found on the iPad Itunes (I looked for even popular apps like Whisper and it isn't coming up) so it seems that the only option is to get the computer to sync with the Ipad--but how? I thought Ipad were intuitive to use but I am not find this at all right now.
