It also receives security and quality updates, as needed.Diehard MS Office users such as I am, are not at a loss with Apple. This version is updated on a regular basis to provide new features. For example, the Microsoft 365 Business Premium plan or the Office 365 E5 plan. Office for Mac, which is available with any Microsoft 365 (or Office 365) plan that includes the Office desktop apps.On the View tab in the Document Views group, select Web Layout or Draft view. Given that, it is important to know them, especially when you have Mac at home and PC at work (or vice versa).Switch views, and then remove the damaged content. I thought it’s time to get an iMac for my desktop so that I’m totally in the Apple ecosystem.There was a solution: with the latest 16.x release of Microsoft Office for Mac (released on Jan 18, 2018), there are fewer differences between Excel Windows and Mac. A strong motivating factor for switching my desktop to Apple was that I already had several Apple products, such as the iPad and iPhone.If the hard drive crashes, you can't open it to change it yourself.Apple has a particular way to peel off the glass screen to get inside. I didn’t like the iMac because it’s a sealed computer built into the screen. Comparing the iMac to the Mac MiniOnce I decided to go with Apple, I compared the latest iMac to the Mac Mini.
You can do that with a microphone or headset with mic that has a 3.5mm plug to connect to the headphone jack. You need to be cautious with it and review what it types for you while you're talking.To use dictation, or any app that requires voice input, you need to connect a microphone to the Mac. But it sometimes types something entirely different than what you meant, just because it sounds the same. It works well, and it even underlines words that it is not sure it understood. That was a lot cheaper than purchasing the memory directly from Apple.All Mac Mini models no longer make the RAM user-accessible.All macOS from Mountain Lion to the latest can be enabled to let you dictate in any application where you would generally be typing.That is similar to Siri that I use on my iPad. Obviously, this is not something for an end-user to do.Native DisplayPort output via ThunderboltThe Mac Mini's before 2014 had a user-accessible capability to change the RAM, so you weren't forced to buy memory from Apple.I bought mine with the least amount of memory and expanded to the max memory of 16 Gigabytes by buying two 8 Gig chips from Amazon. Switch Between Documents In Office Install The HPMicrosoft Office for MacI wanted to have the full MS Office suite since I was used to it. With my old PC, I had to install the HP Solutions Center, a software package that controlled all aspects of the printer.When I connected the printer to my Mac, it was immediately recognized, and the Mac downloaded the correct driver from Apple without any effort.I found that I was able to use the printer and the scanner. Anything I enter as a reminder on any Apple device will alert me on my Mac as well.Compatibility with the HP Printer/ScannerI use an HP printer. That works the other way around too. Reminder AppI found that when I enter a reminder for a specific date and time, it is also present on my iPad and iPhone. The Mac Mini will recognize either input. You can select a different option that allows you to download and install any software, but I don’t recommend doing this.As long as you keep the default settings in place, Mac OS doesn’t allow adware or spyware to get installed.You will also be saving yourself from unwanted malware if you avoid opening any attached files you receive in an anonymous email. Protection From Malicious SoftwareApple has something called Gatekeeper in OS X Mountain Lion (and above) that helps protect users from downloading and installing malicious software.It takes an extra step, with user verification, to install software that was not verified by Apple and does not have a Developer ID. You can download both at no cost from Apple's app store. Apple's Pages app is somewhat similar to MS Word, and Numbers is the app that replaces Excel. and WPXO, which includes Outlook as well.They are both available on Amazon or from your local office supply store.I could have used Apple’s version of Word and Excel. WPX includes Word, Powerpoint and Excel, Stealth Mode in macOS FirewallMac OS also has a built-in firewall. Some third-party anti-virus software cause problems when Apple installs OS updates. But if you do decide to use one, it is advisable to disable it when performing OS updates. There is no need to copy back and forth.Note that even though the VMWare's software is called Fusion, it has nothing to do with the Fusion Drive. I wonder why Apple doesn’t make stealth mode the default.By using the actual Mac hard drive, I can access the same files in real time from either Mac OS or Windows. Then they try to gain access to steal your personal information that you may have in files. It will not respond.Hackers ping random IP addresses until they find a live one. When in stealth mode, no one can ping your machine. Mac 2 emulatorFiles that are used often are stored on the faster SSD.I decided not to have a hybrid because I think too much can go wrong with all that sophisticated intelligence.However, I still wanted an SSD because it has no moving parts, and therefore, it's faster than a spinning hard drive.So I ordered my Mac Mini with an SSD drive. The system uses intelligence to decide where to place data. It's a combo hard drive and solid-state (SSD). Solid StateApple's Fusion drive is a hybrid. Apple uses a format known as Mac OS Extended (Journaled), which is required for Time Machine.When you first try to run Time Machine, it will guide you through a few simple steps to get it set up. How to Use Time Machine for Backup and RecoveryAfter I was sure everything was on my Mac, I reformatted my backup drive for Apple's Time Machine. At least that's how you can copy all your files to the Mac.Later, you can use that drive to backup your Mac, but it needs to be reformatted for Time Machine. If you use an external drive for backup from your PC that's formatted as NTFS, then you can read the files from that drive directly into the Mac.Mac OS X v10.3 or later can read the contents of an NTFS formatted drive, but you cannot write from the Mac to NTFS. How to Copy Files From PC to MacOne of the most important things to understand is "file compatibility" between Windows and Mac.Windows PCs use a format known as NTFS. The oldest files are removed when the drive gets full, so that the next backup can proceed successfully.I won't mention how long ago that was. It runs flawlessly in the background to keep weekly, daily, and hourly backups. It will take a long time at first, but each backup after that only copies files that were modified.I love Time Machine. Of course, that means any data on the drive will be lost.Once that's done, Time Machine will seamlessly back up every hour. If it's not right, it will ask you to permit reformatting the drive. Although I write all of my first draft stuff with Pages and then paste it into HubPages, I do my final Book development before submissions with WORD. It was kind of large, but over time I was able to go back and forth for my information.Of course this was made easier because I bought the Office pack for the Mac and I was able to use my WORD and EXCEL documents as I got better at using PAGES and NUMBERS and SAFARI. Once done, I transferred this into a structured "folder" that I placed onto my Mac. The machine is reliable, all of my critical information is synced with my iPhone, and I haven't had the first "attack" on my Mac.One thing I did do, was take the time to consolidate ALL of my data and information (decades worth) and clean it up with reality checks.
