Also these are a few Apple links you should look into: Apple - Mac OS X - Windows Compatibility - How Mac works with PCs Apple - Support - Boot Camp Apple - Mac OS X - What is Mac OS X - Time Machine Apple - Support - Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard Time Machine Apple - Mac OS X Snow Leopard - Refining the user experience Macs on the whole use the same intel hardware as windows boxes. The main difference is your Mac can use OS X, windows and linux. All natively (through bootcamp) or virtualised. And for making music you have 3 applications native to OS X from Apple to do this. And as a DJer making music is pretty important. Apple - Logic Studio Apple - Logic Express Apple - GarageBand - Learn to play music and record on your Mac. Garageband is the lite version. Comes with your Mac in the ilife package Logic Express is mid level. More features And Logic studio or Logic pro is the full professional full featured package. I would look into the links to see which one is right for you. And see what features you need and what price you're willing to pay. If you have any more questions feel free to ask. |

Anyways, OP, this forum (and the links the8thark provided) is a great place to start. If you ever run into problems or have a question, feel free to ask. And, above all, welcome to Mac (not "MAC"...  )!

 (oops! fixed it)*I know, I use MAC in my user name. That's because it looks best in that context, and is not part of a dialog about the Mac. Another oops! blackmac is correct. (below) I obviously skipped over the other posts that say the same thing. My bad. |

Anyway, looks like you have some computer experience... maybe look into Quicksilver by Blacktree. It really increases productivity. Also looking into how to script in a bash shell would help.

Respecting the forums' general spelling/capitalization guidelines, for clarification sake, will avoid a lot of these "back-and-forths". 16GB iPhone 5, 64GB Wi-Fi only iPad 1st Gen. Reminder: Please include your Mac's specs. This will make it much easier for the other members to assist you.

Apple has some great tutorial videos on their website, and I believe they have tutorial courses at some Apple Stores. -Dylan |
