How do you Move from torrent to iTunes?
first you must download the torrent, locate the place where the files are downloaded to and then drag and drop the audio files into your itunes library.
Edit: If you don't want to go through all that trouble every time you download, you can do this instead:
In uTorrent, go to options>preferences>directories and change where the files download to the "Automatically add to iTunes" folder. (Usually C:\Users\(username)\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes)
It works well if all you download is music and movies, and if something's wrong and it can't add something, it just puts it into a "Not added (insert date here)" folder so it's easy to find.
Then when you open iTunes next, the files will automatically be there and start sound checking and whatnot.
If you are referring to a PC CD or DVD unit, then you'll need a straightened paper clip. On the front of the unit is a small hole. Push the straightened paper clip straight into the hole and it will release the CD / DVD.
Where is the reload button on my Mac?
Web pages are loaded by web browsers, not the by Mac itself.
In most web browsers, such as Firefox, the web page 'reload' command button looks like a turning arrow. It is up on the app menu on the left side.
So, where it is depends on which browser you are using, and in some cases which 'skin' for that browser you are using.
In Firefox, there are two little arrows for 'Back' and 'Forward' followed by the 'Reload' button.
In Safari, to reload, click in the URL window and press 'Return.'
Reloading first looks in the browser 'cache' to quickly load the page again. To get the page in the newest version, if it has changed, hold down the 'Shift' key on the keyboard and then reload the page.

Apple produces some software such as iTunes and the Safari browser for both their own Mac OS X and the Windows operating system. Most of Apples applications are created to work on an Apple Mac computer with Mac OS X and are not available for computers running the Windows operating system.
Which is the chepest a iPad or a iPhone?
the ipad is more exspencive but it has a bigger screen, the both do about the same. The ipad is cooler because you can watch movies and play games better
It can be used for writing essays, spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, all sorts of games, it has music, videos, photos (brilliant photo slideshows).
It has e-mails, internet, calendar, it stores your contacts and notes, has Google earth, youtube, eBay and I'm sure you can find many other uses for it. For example, I can extend my computer desktop and put things onto my iPad screen and I can compose songs on it or wirelessly control my desktop.
There is a brilliant app store to get all these features.
When you "discover" something, that means that it already existed. When you "invent" something, that means it did not exist until then. Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak invented Apple

Can you connect USB to a Firewire Port?
At first no as they are separate technologies (USB- Universal Serial Bus, Firewire- IEEE 1394a/Firewire 400), so you cannot connect a usb to a firewall or visa versa.
There are ways however. These include purchasing two expansion cards (PCI, ISA or SCSI depending on the type and space left on your motherboard). OR purchasing a Hub/adapter that connects in either a USB or Firewire port, and accommodates at least one USB and one Firewire port.
However, there is also a newer type of Firewire (Firewire 800) which is under the standard of IEEE 1894b. This offers double the speed in transfer compared to the IEEE 1394a, however neither a USB cable of anytype (USB, or USB 2.0) or Firewire 1394a cable can fit into a 1894b port or visa versa. There may well be hubs/adapters for these too.
USB and Firewire- Both are Serial Ports. Both offering Plug and Play/Hot Swapping capabilities (Depending on your Computer's hardware and software).
Hope this Helps

Are Microsoft and Apple the same thing?
Sort of... Apple Inc. manufactures the Mac (short for Macintosh- a type of apple, you see). Over the years the various other types of Apple computers have all gone out of production. Apple makes all kinds of other electronics- iphones, ipods, etc., but when you are referring to personal computers, Apples and Macs are pretty much the same thing.
and if you even THINK about getting a windows computer, I will kill you

Did you mean: 'How can bytes are in 2 GB?'
If you did, the answer is: 2 Billion Bytes, which transforms into 2 Million Kilobytes, then 2000 MB, eventually reaching 2 GB.
1,000,000,000 B = 1,000,000 KB = 1000 MB = 1 GB
2,000,000,000 B = 2,000,000 KB, = 2000 MB = 2 GB

How many known viruses are there for Mac?
Although there have been known self replicating virus's to attack the OSX - they are not self propagating and do require user input in some manner (i.e. opening a bad email or clicking a link). The most common form of virus are trojans from some bad websites. Smart browsing and wise installation will keep you protected from trojans, though, because you must choose to install them and then input your password for them to install. There are 26 out of 71,000 known viruses.

Can Mac Books get computer viruses?
Prior to OS X, there were viruses written for Apple Macintosh computers. Any operating system on which software can be installed at all is potentially vulnerable to infection from a virus, which is itself a form of software. An operating system cannot distinguish good software from bad software; this is usually done by antivirus scanners or behavior monitoring programs. In the past, bona fide "viruses" were mostly targeted at specific groups or individuals, such as politicians and high-profile clergymen, most of whom are non-technical users who will use whatever their employers provide (most likely Windows). But in the recent decades average users have been intentionally attacked for the purpose of notoriety or to cause grief. Viruses in themselves are intentionally destructive, rather than stealing information or providing control over someone's machine. While virus creation and infection has been on the downturn in favor of malware, infection is still entirely possible and not to be ruled out.
These days most malicious programs in the wild are Trojan horses. Software which supposes to be something it really is not, Like "MacDefender", or "AntiVirus 2011". Besides Trojans, there are also a lot of spyware and exploits that can infect a computer remotely and surreptitiously, usually through a Web browser. Unlike viruses, which are written out of malice, these parasites are written for profit, be it to direct a botnet to attack other networks, or to steal user information to sell to identity thieves.
Apple's Web site says that "a Mac is 100 percent safe from viruses designed to attack PCs." This is true; otherwise, Apple could face a class-action lawsuit. The loophole is a single, clever subtlety in the phrase, "designed to attack PCs."
There are in fact some Trojans written for Mac OS X, but no viruses. While Apple announces that their systems are "more resistant to attack" There are professional security researchers who have successfully compromised both Macs and Windows computers remotely, as well as other operating systems for PCs, servers, and even mobile devices like the iPhone.
It is widely believed that Unix-based operating systems cannot be infected at root level unless the user authorizes it with a password; this is untrue. All platforms have known privilege escalation vulnerabilities, and more are being discovered all the time.
At the time of writing, Windows users remain by far the most likely to encounter viruses, or any other type of malware/unwanted programs. In over 20 years, the total count of Mac viruses is about 50 (all prior to Mac OS X). There are thousands for Windows.
However, The unfortunate truth is ALL computers are susceptible to viruses or attack.
While the fallacy that "Mac's can't get viruses" is pushed by Apple, the truth of the matter is they are just as susceptible as windows users except they aren't being directly targeted being that Macintosh used to run less than 6% of the global operating system market share (Source: C|Net). As more users are moving over to the Macintosh OS, they recently have been receiving more malware traffic. Macs require signed software, making it difficult to get malware to run. But naive users make it's built in protections nearly useless like in the MacDefender malware exploit from 2011. The software required the user to accept the installation, under the guise of protection, but it turned out to be malware, launching pornographic websites while warning you that you have Malware installed and offering you to purchase the Full version of MacDefender to remove the fake virus for a large sum of money. (Source: C|net)
Recently a new threat has surfaced caused by a Java exploit, in which Apple took 6 weeks after Oracle (the current owner of Java) to patch (Source: Forbes), allowing more than 2 percent (Source: ComputerWorld) of scanned Macintosh systems to become compromised. Kapersky noted through an experiment that over 600,000 systems were connected to their experimental C&C (Command and Control) botnet server, over 98% are heuristically detected to have been Macintosh systems. (Source: SecureList)
So to say that Apple Computers do not get Viruses is a commonly perpetuated fallacy, pushed by Apple, and naive Mac users alike. The truth is that no computer system or operating system is truly secure, or free of viruses and malware.
All computers are at the same risks for viruses and spyware. (And Mac's can carry Windows viruses and can possibly infect Windows machines via Network, Hard Drive, or USB Jump Drive) So users need to be careful about what websites they visit and what they download off the internet because malware is everywhere and can really cause problems no matter what OS or computer manufacturer.
Why might you choose a Macintosh operating system rather than a Linux operating system?
