[QUOTE="johnodd4, post: 1652418, member: 331386"] Congratulations on your purchase.. Make sure you get: 1. A good media app although quicktime plays most videos there are some it doesn't like i recommend. VLC Media player Plex 2. I also recommend a external hard drive for time machine use to backup your macintosh in case anything happens. 3. I also recommend downloading yosemite and creating a bootable dvd disk for it because its installer is in app form you cannot boot from it if you install a new hard drive. 4. I recommend Wineskin if you want to run a windows application on your mac and you do not have the space for a windows bootcamp partition. 5. Make sure to install alternative browsers firefox chrome opera so on so forth microsoft has been rigging windows server sites to be non compliant with safari web browser usually when you access one of these sites the site fails to load or loads scrambled. 6.Download handbrake for mac this will allow you to convert video into several different formats and you can use this to backup idvd's once created and convert them into mpeg 4 for iPhone iPad and iTunes use. Is there anything else we can help you with today?? [/QUOTE]
