Right the iMacs all set up and Ive installed skype, thunderbird, office trial, msn etc, so coming from a PC background for 25 years what apps or programmes should I install, few questions below if anyone can help thanks.
1. I have an imac, iphone 4s, and an ipad 2, any clever tricks or anything I should be doing to combine all 3 products etc.
2. Is there a radio app for listening to the radio rather then say going to the radio stations page and clicking listen here.
3. What apps should I download or purchase to help me us ethe iMac.
4. Any programmes to help the transition from PC to iMac go smoothly and with less stress.
5. Any good imac forums to pester people and aks questions from specialists etc. I already use apple forums but can be slow to get replies.
6. Anyway I cna link my iMac to my TV and or projector?
7. Anyway of getting a tv signal on the iMac, I can use Sky Go for main channels.
8. How do I make sure when I shut down the iMac and restart say the next morning the programmes and windows are where they were before I shut down the night before.
9. Any neat tips or tricks I should know that I could not do on a PC.
10. Any good books to help me, dummies guide perhaps?
11. Any advice you can give for a PC user going to a mac.
12. Which programmes already installed on the imac are worth using and good.
13. Should I install windows 7 to be safe? And if so is parrallel worth getting?
14. What anti virus do I need?
15. Can you post a screen grab of your skype as I dont think mine is right, it works but doesnt look owt like my skype on my PC and looks a bit pants on the imac?
16. Is there any option of having the toolbar at the top of the screen thats for the programme im in or window im using on the window itself rather then running along the top of the screen. Not sure ive described it right, say I have skype open, the skype tools, edit, view, help options links are all not connected to the skype window open but run alon a bar at the top of the screen. And say if i clicked onto msn the bar would change to the msn details and links etc.
Anything else I forgot?
Thanks for the help guys really appreciate it.
