Here's a question that me as a Mac-Immaculate interested: Is it entirely impossible that a new Mac set up to be and when, in what circumstances. For Windows (I'm speaking from experience there), it is perfectly normal, its system at least 1x a year plattzumachen back and clean up. The registry corpses and other garbage, which is when one or other installation and uninstallation routine has fixed hangs like the scabies in the system:-O
I remember that once the programs on the Mac into a specific folder and then were the application was ready to go - is it still so today synonymous? No installation routine?
Gruss Gonzi.

I have both systems in operation and must say that synonymous Macs have their quirks. So just back the new Quicktime 7.2 update my new Final Cut Studio 2 has totally unstable. Unlike Windows, there is however no s.Mac (!!!) Uninstall command to fast in order. That's something I do not just do not understand. Programs need to be clear of hand, and there remains of course just garbage in BSD-like variables in the Windows registry.
So I will probably need to reinstall, or to a quicktime update wait. Depending on how fast I Final Cut Pro to do ...
In short: At the Mac is not always synonymous pancake, and if such problems in Mac Help Forums examined, one hears only: to make new system. Since I praise Windows, where you usually synonymous smaller errors without reinstalling again hinbiegen, because the network simply synonymous more know-how rumschwirrt.
Antwort von PowerMac:
Do not exaggerate. In German Final Cut Pro forum in recent months, actually more often the "Platt making" as the recommended solution. That makes sense but only rarely. The inflationary use of Plattmach tip at Mac in Final Cut Pro forum, you should not use the normal close. Hardly a normal user uses his system s.Mac new. Every few years, perhaps times. Under Windows, the much normal. I can watch again and again: "So, I installed XP again, is somehow lame lately, DivX plays synonymous not right off." Sowas happens quite often. The main Quicktime update has made me and the majority gave no problems. But it is true that in recent months in connection with Quicktime annoying problems auftaten.

Well, that I will not leave uncommented. OSX has no registry, but something similar, namely the Property Lists.
More here: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPRuntimeConfig/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000170i
The plist files are quite the same as the registry, just scattered on the system. Whether that actually is better than all the external variables s.einer body to administer be doubted. I personally find the registry concept very useful. When do I have Mac by tens plist torment, when I search something. I have XP systems partially already 5 years running and a bunch of software installed on it again and uninstalled and the registry has given me this made no noticeable trouble. On the contrary. If a program is programmed clean, delete it again when uninstalling synonymous completely from the registry. Or even write to the registry, delete everything what you need to run the program to uninstall cleanly.
I'm really not a big advocate of Microsoft, but I am missing something like the Registry again under OSX and Linux.
And a question s.die Mac specialists here: I have iLife08 played on the Mac and that has unquestioned draufgehämmert Quicktime 7.2 and now runs my Final Cut Pro no longer high. Anybody here know how I Quicktime 7.2 again through 7.1.6 can replace, without the system "plattzumachen"? (PowerMac perhaps?)
Au weia, it may run if you want to have the latest technology ..
Ausetzen Topic: Sorry guys, but you may be synonymous system clean. Who is surprised that his work computer sometime after umpteen re-installed and deleted Demos / Trials lame, hey, but then learns of it and installed 2 Win systems. Who is his work computer vollmüllt and negligently chaotisiert is your own fault.

On a Dell PC (for example - actually in all the major providers for what the company's production environment) is an image about the genausoschnell up faster.
What you should not forget is that millions of different PC hardware components can be assembled, while Apple (and the FirmenPC provider synonymous) because it exerts restriction. For the home user actually a much better approach than simple vorzugaukeln, where there are none.
Only would the same home users as well if he does not miss any crap, the crude programmed on any computer IMAGE HeftCD rumfaehrt can install. Or any hardware, with the hot needle knitted and beta drivers on the market which will be thrown.
Antwort von burito:
I had 12 years PCs. at the beginning, I was just how many users. Then came the self-together, tuning, etc. But when I seriously wanted to create videos, there were only problems! (more than 2 weeks of work wiped out of the sch .. ß PC!) because he has given me not only the hourly backups Project nullified, no - so I cut back AT ALL was I had to restart the system up! That was 3.5 years. 1 / 2 year later I had my first MAC auction and am now more than convinced of the stability, security and speed of the MACs.

I speak not of an image but from the "NEW INSTALLATION";) ie, of zero if I need to install - it helps me create an image nix!
As I said I had in the last 2 years several HDV productions, which I have no problems with a 3 year old had managed MAC. Show me a 3 year old PC, in real-time HDV editing program that can cut and not more than 1900 has cost ¬ -? A PC that I would once again need to upgrade - and mind 3x new setup - only for performance reasons!
So can I on the
Quote:

(which anyway only in certain combinations work correctly and therefore synonymous rather a money-go) and renounce gladly buy me every 3 years for a system that I have to unpack once and corner, and it works! Once you have a computer anyway only every 3 years of the tax write off can be - perfect!
Therefore, the MAC to me about half of the money when the administration time and costs into account's upgrade! Quite apart of the strained nerves, which can be spared;)
Antwort von chmee:
Each to his own. It is true that nowadays it is not certain rod s.Money spend so that s PC is easily capable of HD. (N But Mac is synonymous not just cheap.)
And Apple has yet to ProRes422 codec rausgebracht, na Ahoi.
But it is nonetheless:)
Antwort von burito:
sure - everyone has the Seine, and the topic is so "self-editing machine ', but I made my earlier synonymous components such thoughts about how well they work together, blabla ...
Here, I give my experience known so that people may be synonymous times in a different direction, thinking, and a MAC synonymous try before it is said, for example, the forecast is simple - the whole operating system is a simpler structure - and behaves exactly the software * g *
Sure, it is not bad if you know with computers, but on an Apple-based system is usually a school enrollment of 3h and you're fit! Not: 3h train ride home - after 30 min. the first call - what does this "message" or "Warning" - "what do I do ..?".
This eases the workload is as I say alone worth the money;)
appropos Money:
LOW-COST MACs are not - but cheap! ;)
So for example if you get the iMAC ansiehst - 1199, - plus 2 GB of RAM will be approximately 1300 Euros.
Since you have first, a MAC INCL. stable operating system and can now with the HD-cutting begin!
no trouble with codecs or drivers to install Camera search ...
DAS is QUALITY!
I am convinced if the PC user on such things "look" are synonymous to the PC in this respect!
.. if they are priced but still of MACs will differ ...!?
Antwort von Frank B.:
That's all well and good. Personally, I would almost Wurscht the hardware. The problem is that my favorite Liquid Edition software (on which I now feel pretty safe and at the intersection of HDV runs properly for me) is not running on a Mac. A switch to Mac in my case would be completely new orientation to a new editing program. Adequately Avid LE 7.2 would be the most Final Cut Pro, which probably also with thousands of his book to suggest likely. So, I am somehow bound s.den PC. Personally, I have so synonymous but no bad experiences. If you know what software to run the calculator, you can thank Kofigurationslisten of the manufacturer, the best hardware to put together. A little discipline on the installation of peripheral SW and the thing works. Synonymous with me for several years without reinstallation. Starting times and to upgrade, that's it.

And I speak of an image so that you do not need new touchdown. That is all that complicated animal can make is not an issue, but we alone here in the HQ about 3000 PCs and laptops a few hundred rumfahren - Run as Admin with no guarantees nem stack CDs rum to each of them by themself. And you have to get the private non-synonymous, if one bit of clever and works from the ideal system configured with the necessary software makes an image that is at all times in few minutes can restore.
Antwort von burito:
I am well aware of how to work with an image (yes, I made myself for years) but when one comes to the point where the image will not work anymore or the HW-Config. has changed, you must create a new image - that is, the PC set up - with 'nem stack CDs and a second computer with the updates you need from the grid can absorb without being on the "new" calculator like a virus is broad, because one's network needs!
and here I speak from experience synonymous, because in my PC start-up years, I had the problem: newly set up, virus scanner and firewall download - Duration: 5min. after I installed the virus scanner found the virus promptly synonymous - That the virus took about 8 min. until he was on my calculator.
In the last OSX Virus (1 year ago) I was asked whether I want to install it * g * - Windows went after the car open the browser (!)
yes - as I said - these are my long experience with PCs and I will not say synonymous EVERYTHING is the MAC, but in the 3 years that I work with a MAC could, he gave me never "dagegengearbeitet" - everything is always perfectly stable and worry-free.
I think you can get better on the essentials - namely, the work focus, which is very helpful to the creative process;)
Antwort von DanielK:
Leutz, ich sach's you honest: I confess I am a Mac fan to be. And do not you think that, once again such a dogmatist, evangelist, etc. No, the story is different ... I have over 10 years with intensive PC's to be done, even for a while the system admin and IT manager for the doses in our operation. Since a few weeks I have a second computer at home increased, I have the new iMacs just fallen and I have added because I have my old PC anyway just by upgrading to s.Leben would receive. Meanwhile, everything is so synonymous on the Mac, even with Boot Camp, can I go if I want an XP-operate. The first few weeks with the Mac was an enlightenment. I could just work - got my picture collection in order, my home movies and cut cleanly burn to a DVD, mail and Internet are self-evident anyway. Suddenly I had time for creative things. No trial & error, not a strange system behavior, the man on the ground must go, no driver conflicts and a user interface that is simple fun. Everything somehow logical, Operation Manual ade. So I imagine a computer before. In retrospect, I realize only now how much time I have with verbraten senseless Rumgeschraube, installations, troubleshooting, etc. It may be that many sowas exit (if you're here so the comments durchliest) - my thing is absolutely not. I prefer to drive the car, as I s.den valves rumschraube. Videoschnittmässig I'm still on PPro 1.0 on the PC, but we will FinalCut me (or Express) chart, where the only synonymous nearly as logical as the rest of the Apple stuff, I am quite confident so good to come . I'm just really annoyed that I've wasted so much time with unnecessary things. And sure, the apple is synonymous its quirks. But it makes a difference whether the outside mirrors rattle, or simply stop the engine (or only runs on 3 cylinders):) Grease - Dan.
Antwort von burito:
Yes as an Apple is a great thing - working Prima However, with PP 1.0 Winbugs seemingly synonymous.
Antwort von burito:
not - because I did so 2 weeks of work undone!
This has me so gewurmt that I even have a Mac, and auction the same FinalCutStudio've bought - since then no problem - be it with exuberant frames, driver issues, viruses, crashes, ...
Now I have FCS2 and still no problem.
At that time - the change of Premiere to PP1 was miserably because PP is not on an AMD Calculator ran it anyway and a new calculator to be purchased - and unfortunately I knew since the MACs are not yet - then I would have hoped the calculator can save (P4HT , 3GHz, 2GB ...)
There are certainly synonymous WIN systems that are well run, but Hr. Ordinary consumers will never benefit from a good running WIN system because he is not so well know and most of the money for the unique professional touchdown not want to pay / can.
A MAC you need only buy, infect, go * g * Inside of 2-5min. you have an IP and can be synonymous in Network werken - then in a student home - oh what have the WIN users swear umpteen times and need to restart if the IP expired .. OK - the acquaintance used ipconfig - renew synonymous but that does not always work.
None of the Macs had no problems on the network - in a Windows Network mind * g *
Antwort von chmee:
Now forming the thing here toward Win / Mac Flaming .. Shame ..
I'm not an ordinary user, so my system is running properly synonymous around - small dropouts forgive my sweetie happy, because I find them or they themselves had caused during experimentation.
But to some people around me, without regret to a Mac bought - they are very happy now:).
Final - my words are enough like:)

Well, greed is not always halt Geil.
Antwort von JustMatt:
* g * hast recht.
@ Chmee: NO - I would not be considered a flaming call - these are my experiences and which I have heard here - who's not interested, it can forget it - the other readers, I call on but the blinkers off and try out a MAC!
Allow me, therefore, this sound, because I am 12 years under a misconception and I'm set with my WIN machines have plagued! Furthermore, there are software (CAD), which I just do not get s.MAC (eg Solidworks), which is synonymous is why I Boot Camp or Parallels to use on boats or WIN to win to emulate (which is usually quite sufficient ). So I have WIN synonymous in the MAC - but only rarely booted;)
How DanielK already correctly observed:

Antwort von Supe:
From experience as a System Admin and long-time PC-Bauer I will not so much faith in the Mac vs. war. Windows classified, but said that those who are in advance for reasonable, good quality and compatible components and asked to decide, then the necessary sensitivity and knowledge about the correct Systembau brings a stable and performates system can be expected. This is true for Windows as well as for a MacOS.
Who Cheap components from a PC zusammenmurkst - and which I have a lot of supposedly synonymous professional workshops seen - may be synonymous with a system crash happy with poor performance is not surprised. You must still know exactly what you're doing. Thinking and thinking of the PC has fortunately not yet over.
I "plage" me for 15 years professionally with all kinds (Windows) machine around and have so estimated 2500 calculator for all sorts of people and firms up. And at least 250 clients and 12 servers that I just have to run your fingers rather crash-free. I admit publicly: I like Windows. Ichmag Vista. MacOS synonymous looks chic, but Windows is more me. Is so nice that everyone has a choice.
My experience tells me that there have never been so easy was a well tuned and stable system for good, yet inexpensive components to assemble themselves, like today - no preference whether Mac or Windows.
And when it comes to the envy factor is: I envy all Mac users difficult to Final Cut Pro.
