Is there any way of knowing when will the apple laptops be upgraded to the Mac OS X Lion software?

Question by Daniella C: Is there any way of knowing when will the apple laptops be upgraded to the Mac OS X Lion software?
I’ve being planning on getting a macbook but I’m worried about apple lunching a new version of their laptops. I want a macbook pro, but the new version just came out and it didn’t have the new software called Mac OS X Lion which is supposedly better than the last… so I don’t know what to do… wait for a couple months or get it now?

Snow Leopard (Mac OS X10.6) is good enough. You don’t have to worry about missing out much on Lion. You will be able to buy the retail version of Lion when it is released and install it. This is the only risk: having to pay for the upgrade, which we don’t know the price for, yet – Snow Leopard is $ 29, but this might not be a reference since previous retail versions had cost something like $ 130.)

However, don’t rush to much on Lion. Major version releases *always* come with an abundance of bugs and annoyances that only start to get sorted out significantly after 2 or 3 service update releases. So, you’re looking at a time span of maybe one year (from today) before it’s recommendable to upgrade to Lion, if at all.

You can take a look at Pencil which is a free 2D animation program which is compatible with Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux.

This is the Pencil developer’s site that has a user manual, forum and etc. on how to use Pencil

http://www.pencil-animation.org/

The Software4free.org website has some free 3D animation and modeling programs for Mac and Window computers

http://www.software4free.org/3d.html

Good luck and I hope this will help!

Q&A: How to put mac osx on a virtual machine?

Question by : How to put mac osx on a virtual machine?
I am running windows on a mac mini, how do virualization on mac osx while windows is running.
I need a program to run under the host system, but it does not work if windows is the virtual machine.

Best answer:

Answer by Sean H
If you’re running Windows in Bootcamp and want to virtualize OSX in there, it’s technically possible but not easy/legal. A few things to note:

- OSX server is the only version of OSX you’re allowed to virtualize, and it’s only allowed on a Mac
- if you could find OSX guest support on any virtualization software that’d run in Windows that would let people violate the previous bullet, so either vendors are willingly not doing this or Apple is forcing them not to

Bottom line is it sounds like you’d need to get a hacked OSX release to do the above and install it to Virtualbox or VMware player/workstation. So a) it’s breaking Apple’s license agreement and b) it’s not going to “just work” like native OS, you’ll probably have a fair bit of tweaking to do and may not be able to get everything to work. It’s much easier to run OSX as the host then virtualize Windows in there. It’s supported/legal and arguably OSX is a more stable host OS.

If I’m mistaken, and you’re just trying to run a program that won’t work properly with OSX as the host and Windows as a guest OS then you could try Bootcamp to run Windows. It’s a native Windows environment so pretty much all Windows software should run there. It’s inconvenient though since you can’t run any OSX apps while you’re in there.

Best answer:

Answer by Dori
Generally, Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 is considered to be the best overall Web design/development application, whether you’re on a Mac or on Windows. If you’re just objecting to it because you think it’s difficult but haven’t actually tried it, download the trial version and see if it might work for you.

What is an affordable alternative to photoshop for a Mac?

category: MAC Widgets author:

Question by Swank: What is an affordable alternative to photoshop for a Mac?
Getting a mac, and I want to be able to edit pictures (I upcycle vintage furniture, and need to be able to do basic photo-editing) but paying $ 600 for Photoshop seems a bit much, and I question if I really need all those gazzillion features it has in it.

What are some other good options that are affordable, that are easy-to-use and learn?
Remember, this is for a Mac
Thanks!

Best answer:

Answer by Joe
Run a search on your HD. If you have any sort of MP3 device, plug it in. Insert CD’s. It would help if you said what type of music system you are using.
