What operating system best supports all applications?
There is no operating system that supports 'all' applications. However, Windows (not including Windows Vista) seems to be the most compatible with most applications, and Mac OS X seems the least compatible because software must be specifically made for Mac, and even some software does not have Mac capabilities.
The official definition for the word pagoda is "a Hindu or Buddhist temple or sacred building, typically a many-tiered tower, in India and East Asia."
You can reset the firmware by turning off the Mac, unplugging all cords from it, waiting 15 seconds, and turning it back on.
You can reset the PRAM by turning it off, pressing the power button to turn it back on, quickly pressing and holding the Command+Option+R+P keys before the gray screen comes on, and holding those keys till you hear the startup sound for a second time.
To reset the entire installation of OS X, you can insert the install disk that came with the Mac, turn it off, hold down the "C" key, turning it on, and then you will be presented with different options.
If after seeing the Apple Logo and suddenly shuts down, resetting the motherboard may not be the answer.
Check the simplest things first:
Power cord snug... on both ends?
Powerstrip working properly?
Next, unplug every peripheral, including the keyboard and mouse.
Start the machine. If finishes booting, then plug in the mouse. Make sure it works. Plug in the keyboard. Make sure it works properly. Reboot the machine. If it goes back to not booting up properly, it is most likely the keyboard that needs to be replaced, though unlikely, it may be the mouse.
If the machine still did not startup correctly (to the Finder) with everything unplugged, it is a fault on the motherboard and/or the the power supply and needs to be replaced.
OSX is a Operating system derived from BSD, and thus unix...
Unbuntu can be skinned to look like and behave like OSX (I did that in about 15 minuets)
OSX in a sense is a Desktop environment, but is very resource intensive in contrast to openbox.
(If you do it right, a computer running Linux and openbox can boot to login in 15 seconds)
(Linux is a derivative of UNIX)
So basically, OSX is a way for you to have your computer do the work you want it to do.

How do you fix iPhone error 1611?
1- Change the USB port the phone is plugged in to. Do not plug the phone back in yet.
2- Reboot the computer then plug the phone in and immediately restart the phone in DFU WHILE CONNECTED to the computer. Open up iTunes.
3- Hit restore
DFU can be set on mac by pressing and holding both the home button (Square button) and the Sleep/wake button for 10 sec. Then release ONLY thee sleep/wake button. Keep holding it until iTunes notifies you that you are in restoration mode
What will happen, is that your phone will be updated and iTunes will download the next update. Your screen should be black, meaning that it is in DFU mode. After the update finishes the downloading, it will start to extract the software. The downloading time takes a while, since it needs to verify restoration, etc. etc. The apple logo should be visible with a progress bar when downloading. It will take a long time. When it is done, iTunes may ask you if you want to download your backup back into the phone or just use it as a "new" phone. It is advised to press on the "backup", since you get all your contacts, mail, messages, etc. back.

Which is better - mac or windows - Windows 7 and leopard or snow leopard?
This question is mostly an opinion, so I will share mine.
I have had many different computers, like Windows 3.1, 95, 98, 2000, ME, XP, Vista, and 7. I have also used and owned Mac OS X Tiger, Puma, Leopard, and Snow Leopard. In my true opinion, Mac beats Windows. Here are my reasons:
Mac Pros:
- VERY fast processors
- easy to use Operating System
- User friendly GUI
- Hardly ever get viruses (I have never got ONE)
- Last for a long time (I still sometimes use my iMac from 1995 and it works like new!)
- Most new ones have high def monitors like iMacs and MacBooks
- Unlike Windows OS upgrades that are hundreds of dollars, Mac OS X upgrades are usually $30 or less.
- Bluetooth and Wi-Fi built into all models (even Mac Mini, Mac Pro, iMac, MacBook)
- Comes with iLife which has iChat (free video chatting), iPhoto (like a Windows Live Photo Gallery), Garageband (music editor and maker), iMovie (advanced video editor), iDVD (Burn DVDs with cool menus), iWeb (create a website, you must pay a yearly fee for a MobileMe subscription), but cool.
Mac Cons:
- $$$$$ The computer costs a lot, but in the long run paying $1,000 for an iMac that you use for 8 years Vs. three $500 Windows computers over 8 years
- You have to get them fixed at a place that fixes Macs, most computer stores only work on PCs.
- Limited Software-Microsoft has over 90% of the world using Windows, so that means less software for Mac.
PC Pros:
- Initially Cheaper to buy
- available to buy everywhere, even Wal-Mart sells them
- Tons of free software available
- Comes with great stuff, but no stuff. (I mean, it comes with Microsoft Works, but they give you little features so you have to buy Microsoft Word).
PC Cons:
- More expensive because eventually after about 3-4 years, they die and you have to buy a new one
- Unless you buy a $1000 Windows computer, they all have slow processors and freeze up like crazy and say (Not Responding) and stay that way for like 10 mins.
- OS (Operating System) upgrades cost around $230-350
- Tons of crashes, my Macs have never frozen or crashed once.

How do you install civilization 5 for mac?

How many min patitions are require ti install Linux os and what r they?
If you have plenty of RAM: 1, as a swap partition is rarely used by Linux on systems with more than 2 or 3 GiB of RAM available, and all the toplevels of the Linux directory structure can be put on the same partition. A swap partition on a system with plenty of RAM is a waste of hard disk space.
If you're strapped for memory, 2, to allow for the swap partition, so that Linux can extend its memory onto the hard disk so you won't run out. A good rule of thumb is to create a swap partition at LEAST 1.5 times larger than your system RAM. For example, if you have 512 MiB of RAM: a 768 MiB MINIMUM swap partition is advised. If you have lots of hard disk space, an ideal consideration is actually to triple your RAM in swap space: 512 MiB of RAM will be supported by a 1.5 GiB swap partition.
Personally, if you have lots of hard disk space, I recommend at least 3: One for /, one for /home, and one for swap, if needed, otherwise it'll be for /boot.
Yeah, it sounds like a problem with the disk drive. If you live near an Apple Store, go to their web site and make an appointment at the Genius Bar for them to evaluate (no charge).
Why cant a standard hard drive be used in a mac?
Macs only use standard hard drives such as the 7200-rpm Serial ATA hard drive found in many Macs.
Which is faster Windows 7 or Mac OS X?
The speed of a computer depends on many factors such as processor speed, amount of memory available, hard disc access speed etc. so it is impossible to measure the speed of an operating system without reference to the hardware. If Windows 7 is running on a Mac, and speed is a consideration, Windows 7 will run faster when booted natively rather than running it virtually on top of Mac OS X although the latter is perfectly adequate for most purposes.
