Any tips for moving from windows to mac?
Posted by: Dave***t on 15 September 2016
My venerable Alienware laptop was showing signs of dying which were too severe to ignore any longer, so I went and bought myself an iMac. Whim, as much as anything else. I no longer use my computer for much else than standard work-type stuff, emails, writing etc. Games, netflix etc. are all taken care of with my xbox one. So I wasn't bothered about e.g. games not being available etc., and several people I know love their macs. Thought I'd try it.
Macs are often mentioned here in terms of minis being used for audio, but when I searched I couldn't find much about people who'd recently switched from PC to mac. There are a few posts, but they're all quite old, predating windows 10 and El Capitain. These things can move quickly.
So, anyone with experience, any tips on getting used to a mac if you're used to windows, little tricks, etc?
I've already downloaded a trial of dbpoweramp, and bought metadatics.
Guys, guys... wait a minute...
The OP (Dave) is using an X-box for his email and stuff... he's not going to want to be setting up a virtual machine environment, he's just thinking of using a Mac for his music, that's all. Give him a break !
