Why did Microsoft make office for mac if it's already so compatible with the PC version?

You have to buy software for the PC just as you do with a MAC. I assume you are referring to Microsoft office? If so most PCs do not come with a full version and it must be purchased separately just as on a MAC.

It is true that Apple's computers are very compatible. For example Pages can open and export to Microsoft Word doc files.

Microsoft sells Microsoft Word to Mac owners in order to make money. Microsoft believes that some people want 'the real thing.'

The iWork applications, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote, cost Mac users USD$80.

The Microsoft Office 2007 Home and Student CD retail costs USD$108

Why are spacebars so long?

Even though they are much shorter than they used to be on standard typewriters, they still might be a little longer than necessary. In standard typing, the spacebar is hit only by the right thumb. But as you know if you are a touch-typist, the position of the hand changes a little as you type, and you might be approaching the spacebar from slightly different places. Spreading the bar out a little helps to make it effortless.

Can you only run Apple programs on Apple computers or can your run Windows programs as well?

Apple computers come with an operating system called Mac OS X and only software written for Mac OS X will work with them.

However modern Apple computers use Intel processors which means that they can also run the Windows operating system. If you have Windows installed on your Apple computer then you can run Windows software.

AnswerThere are a few ways to run Windows programs on your Mac:

1. You can install Windows as a separate operating system on your Mac using BootCamp (see http://www.apple.com/macosx/compatibility/)

2. You can run Windows inside of Mac OS X using an emulator such as Parallels Desktop(http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/), VMWare Fusion(http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/), or VirtualBox(http://www.virtualbox.org). VirtualBox is free to download and use, and the others offer free demos for download.

3. (Advanced) You can run Windows programs through using Wine, which can be installed for free on Mac OS X, but takes some time and computer savvy (see http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX/Installing and http://wiki.winehq.org/MacOSX/Building).

How do you get your webcam to work with Yahoo Messenger for Mac?

Install BTV and your mac's inbuilt webcam should start working with yahoo messenger.

For more details, check here http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/messenger/mac/mac3/webcam/mstamcamtest.html


If you have a USB webcam, you probably need to download and install a third-party driver to make it work. There are some free ones out there. Do a search for: Macintosh webcam driver. The description should give you list of supported cameras.

If you need a quick, easy and reliable solution buy the software. I've had great luck with drivers from these people: ioxperts and ecamm

Installing a webcam driver should allow you to use other programs that use cameras too! Like iChat.

If you have a firewire webcam it should be plug-and-play. Just look for your video settings in Yahoo Messenger and choose it from the drop down menu.

How can i play zip vidio file?

The .zip file extension identifies files that have been compressed. Their smaller size means that they can be stored in less space or sent over the Internet in less time. To view the contents of the zipped file they need to be unzipped. With most computers you can double click the .zip file and the original file will be uncompressed and stored in the same place as the zipped file.

The unzipped file will have it's own extension .m4v, .avi, .mov etc. which will identify what software is needed to play the video but most computers can play most video formats.

Itunes is not letting me change the order of my songs on a playlist. What can I do?

I don't understand some of what the other suggestions are saying but,

Here is what I did:

With your mis-ordered or locked playlist in view, at the top of you iTunes to the right it should say: " View...Add to..."

Click the "Add to" button, your "album" grid should open with your playlist to the far right column, at the top of your playlist it should have your list title, amount of songs and the" amount of time" underneath

and directly underneath that, before your number 1 listed song it will say " Sort by: name, title, album, artist etc...choose "MANUAL" this will allow you to alter any of the songs or reorder them the way YOU want! then just click "DONE" and the windows will revert back to the playlist and ready to play!

I think that the new upgrades to the iTune players make changes like these and dont really offer easy quick explanations as to what they have changed about it, I hope this answers your quest!

Are lexmark 1200 series printers compatible with Mac OS computers?

Almost all the printer company's have jumped on the Mac platform so yes, Lexmark is compatible.

BUT....

As with any manufacturer not all models are Mac compatible so you should go to the printers web support site to see if they do have Mac drivers.

The Mac has basic printing features, called "Plug and Play", but you may have to go to the printers web support site to get the latest pinter drivers for your particular printer model to enable all the options.

It can take from weeks to months to get the new drivers for the next upgrade in Mac OSX. Windows has the same issues.

If you have an older printer the printer manufacturer may not keep making updated drivers for every OS upgrade so make sure they have the drivers for all your older devices before upgrading any OS, Mac or Windows.

Was apple's decision to use Intel processors which allow the computer to run either Apple or windows operating system awise choice why?

Apple's decision to use Intel had a considerable effect on driving down their manufacturing costs, thanks to Intel's larger market share and efficiency creating chips. From that financial aspect, it had a direct positive effect on the bottom line by increasing their margins on each sale.

To protect themselves against people installing OS X on their own hardware, Apple uses a dedicated microchip that only they can put into the computer. OS X checks for the chip when it boots up, and if the chip is missing, then the system has a kernel panic and refuses to load. This protection is possible to work around by changing core files within the operating system, but this requires technical knowledge that is well beyond the vast majority of users' ability to use.

As for installing Windows on a mac, Apple isn't worried. Indeed, they offer software to let users do so. Apple's goal is to sell premium-priced hardware. They have come to understand that some software will never come to mac because there's too few users for the original developer to make money by creating a mac version.

Iif Apple has to choose between losing the hardware sale and users using Windows, they'll always prefer to make the sale. From this aspect, Apple certainly captured some business users by making it easy to run old windows software on the Intel macs. Also, the company is confident that users will prefer the user interface of OS X, so they don't see a serious threat of users using Windows instead. Beyond that, mac has a certain "cool" factor that makes many of their users very brand loyal. With the wide use of the iPhone, iPod and iPad, this becomes even more true over time.
