What's Onyx?
So... it's like jailbreaking your macbook? Lol... Can you explain to me what that means?
Onyx is a multi-function utility program that allows you to tweak settings as well as perform maintenance functions. It has nothing to do with Jailbreaking which is used to break the protection mechanisms on the iOS devices.
First of all, the iMac is a 1.83ghz core 2 duo Intel with 2 GB ram and an 80 GB hard drive. The seller said he loaded a "fresh" install of Snow Leopard on there, but the machine came with no software at all.
1) How can I really tell if its a "fresh" install. Meaning, could he have just left his old install on there and deleted his personal files?
2) Are there any programs I should be looking for to get rid of? I know Macs rarely have malware and don't come with much bloatware but I AM just getting off a PC.
3) I have a 320 gb external usb hard drive that has audio files, pictures, and a few video files that I made using a PC. I'm sure the audio and picture files will transfer fine, but does the Mac do the whole ".wmv" thing?
4) I can just buy the Snow Leopard disc off Amazon or wherever if I need to reinstall the operating system, correct?
One Question though, i download a lot of music, can uTorrent work on a Mac?
Artists actually make very little money off of album and song sales; almost all of their income is generated through the merchandise at their shows, the amount of people at those shows, etc. So the 'supporting your artist' argument is generally invalid. =/
Yes, utorrent works on a mac, for all of those LEGAL downloads with your PEERS, like important documents and homemade movies, right?
