Mac Question.


Question Posted Friday July 17 2009, 11:03 pm

I've used PCs all my life at home, but the appeal of Apple computers has gotten the best of me, and I'm seriously considering buying a MacBook for college next year.

The biggest deal breaker here is if I can transfer my music and files from my portable hard drive to a new Mac. Is this possible?


And also, how different is using a PC versus a Mac? I've read articles about technical aspects, but not so much the user experience. Is creating folders, uploading pictures from a camera, and everything like that, similar to a PC?


Thank you SO much!

I've never used a Mac. I know solidadvice4teens uses one; you might want to ask her for more information.

MP3 files will work on a Mac. If uploading pictures from your camera requires special software, it might not work. If you can just plug in the USB cable and navigate to the pictures, it will work.

The biggest difference is that you won't be installing much software. Everything most people need is included. You also won't be able to install most software, since Windows software won't work on a Mac.
