any MAC user on here? Help the noob

[naveed]

I'm recently forced to move onto a mac for work reasons.

Certainly there is a learning curve that I'm learning through youtube etc.

Now the issue is free softwares :P There are anything and everything available on for windows...even the paid apps you can find easily..

Are there any forums or sites where I can find free softwares likes photoshop etc? Is it even possible to install pirated stuff on mac??

Any help would be appreciated :)

For MAC you have to search a lot on the web as a direct free alternative is not always easy to find. I had to spend a lot of time to search for few apps when I switched to Mac.

Sometimes, finding apps becomes even more difficult if you are using the latest OS (mountain Lion) but for older OS like (Lion or Snow Leopard) you might find compatible software fairly easily.

If you want to avoid torrents (which are safe if you use reliable sites) following website is very useful:

One more thing, like .exe files in windows, Mac uses .dmg

Thank you that is very helpful

i just got my mac yesterday. so i guess it has the latest operating system. does that mean, I can't get none of the pirated stuff for it?

You can import pictures from your iPhone by using Preview(default Mac OS Photo Viewer) in any folder and then do whatever you want.. i use both, windows and mac OS... Mac OS is much better than windows...
