macs are just as susceptible to a virus as PCs but sense 70-80% of people using computers use PC's no one bothers to write viruses for Macs. (Sorry for the big words kids hope this wasnt too hard to understand.)
@yupperslupper2 that may be true..but notice something..MOST of the reasons why people using windows pc's get viruses is because of any combination of the following :1. More than 1 antivirus program, 2. TOOLBAR city, 3." i have to click on EVERYTHING. 4 " what's CUSTOM installing a program mean. oh i'm afraid that's too complicated..waa. AUTO install ( installs massive bullcrap that is not coherent to the program). 5. I gotta take my pc to geek squad & let them send it to 3rd party repair.lol
@yupperslupper2 solution? 1. LEARN HOW TO CUSTOM BUILD YOUR OWN PC. ( this is priceless & ALWAYS THE BEST DEAL, PERIOD..END OF DISCUSSION NOTHING CAN DISPROVE THIS) 2. keep it SIMPLE. One freaking antivirus or anti whatever program THAT'S ALL YA NEED. 3. learn to READ stuff. see if there are boxes that can be UNchecked & ONLY install the program you care to install. 4. since you had sense enough to build your own pc, YOU CAN troubleshoot it yourself also= $ SAVING & empowering. =happier ending
@yupperslupper2 Actually, thats not true, there is a competition to hack Safari, hasn't been done. Also, apple keeps their development top-secret and have their developers sign confidentiality agreements with the company. They take a lot of steps to prevent their software from being susceptible. Additionally, Microsoft hasnt deviated from the same design since Windows 95 (ME is the only exception) making it more susceptible. Only making the shift to the .net design which is not relevant.
Why is the .net frame work not relevant? It is purely there in order to make it easier to install things, not more difficult. Instead of making it harder for software develoeprs windows said, "Lets pull all the crap they need on the computer so they have to do less writting, meaning install files are smaller!" very good idea, but has nothing to do with viruses. So there you have it, windows are susceptible because nothing has changed and nothing is hidden. Also, users are stupid.
a 2000 dollar mac is equivalent to a self built 700 dollar pc. And a 2000 dollar pc is 4 times better than a 2000 dollar mac. I'd love to give proof, but the macfags would just ignore the facts anyway.
@pinoyrobot actually they probably don't copy much of anything more than once. It keeps track of changes to files and how folders are organized (pointers, references, links) For a deleted video, for example, it could have been recorded to have existed in a few different folders for 230 different backups, but only one file would be stored. If it was edited... well I suppose in at least most cases another file might have to be made. Backup features should favor system files 4this situation I think
@supernoob26 what?? do you know what a back up is?? the point is to keep it safe or for access just in case later....ON A SEPARATE HD!!!! what would be the point if it was on the same HD and it crashed??
you could do the same thing with PC, something called an external hard drive,,,,,ALSO i upgraded my computer so now i call my mac, "My Ancient Computer" = P
@androidsucks either way you need twice the hard drive. btw your mom called and told me to tell you that she hates you and that she regrets bringing you into this world. because you are a shit head, a waste of space and nutrition. sorry dude. go hang yourself.
@androidsucks either way you need twice the hard drive. btw your mom called and told me to tell you that she hates you and that she regrets bringing you into this world. because you are a shit head, a waste of space and nutrition. sorry dude. go hang yourself.
@androidsucks Well, im pretty sure this is with any computer that uses a disk drive, but when something is deleted, it doesnt leave your hard drive, it marks that particular area as an area where you can change the memory on it, so you can get a deleted thing back as long as that area wasnt reused.
Um... So Mac finally added a System Restore function which has been in Windows since Windows XP? (possibly Win98)
I don't support Mac or Windows - Linux is far more stable and has become very user friendly in recent years (a user that is familiar with Mac or Windows can easily switch to a Linux distribution like Ubuntu)
@kepliko Oh sir. I understand your comment but as a Windows and MacOS technician, I am in a unique standpoint to tell you that System Restore bears as much resemblance to Time Machine as a brick does to the Sistine Chapel. Time Machine is backs up your personal data, which System Restore doesn't do, and it can restore your system in the event of a disaster, which System Restore doesn't do. The two do not bear the slightest resemblance, once you actually use them both.
But that means if you have much files and they duplicate every h it will slow down your mac verry much... dosent sounds so smart, it could only do one back up file and thats it instead of many.
@wezom It doesn't back up every file every hour. It's a delta driven backup suite, meaning it does a complete back up initially, then every hour, it backs up changes you've made since last backup. And yes, you'd need to do this on an external drive, otherwise it reduces the efficacy of the backup. If you lose your hard drive, a backup on that hard drive isn't doing you any good.
Not only can PC do that too, its been doing it since 1995. This commercial should have ended with PC opening a closet filled with thousands of PC backups saying "what took you so long?"
@Jpsweeney94 I'm sorry if you thought I was referring to simple backup copies. The services I refer to are System Restore and Volume Shadow Copy. The first allows you to select any point in time and rewind your OS to that point. The latter can be set to run in the background of specific applications to perform the same function for those applications. It's like Time Machine, only better because you can choose to save space by omitting some applications. How is this not "anything like TM?"
@ZHAUSQ I must say I've never been in this situation. I reject your premise but agree with your conclusion. Linux is technically best in the same way that a person who likes socialism conceptually must admit that communism is better insofar as it's the same principle applied in a more perfect scenario. If one approves of Windows' minor stripping of the user interface in the name of more system control and awareness, then Linux is the logical conclusion of that.
@turbowombat the point is that this feature comes with every mac and you don't really have to do it on your own and that it have a lot of positive sides. at windows you have to download or buy a external backup application... so i think this is the message
why does mac focus ALL of its attention on attacking pc? why cant they just promote their claims of a 'perfect' machine? if its so perfect why attack the company that according to apple is inferior and that cost half the price? thats about as dumb as Porsche advertising "our new 911 GT3 can beat the new hyundai genesis!'
in fact PC started all of this.. and btw they never rlt attack PC in any of their ads.. they simply subject things.. they simply compare both and as you can see, usually, MAC come out with th upper hand.. GO MAC!
f i accidently delete a file i go to my recycle bin. And if my computer crashes I just restore it with a backup program i got before the crash. Time Machine isn't a new feature its just a System Restore
I LOVE this program! I just got my new apple three days ago, and started using this program on a backup drive right now.... And wow, you guys. If you hate apple computers so much, why are you even watching the ads? Besides, i really doubt such a over-simplification of "never being able to delete a virus" is in any way the truth. Have you seen reports of this, and seen it yourself? I don't mean to be mean, but get out of the 2-D thinking.
so that means if you get a virus, that someone was bored enough to create, you could never get rid of it, so your computer will always be messed up. Oh wait, its a mac, so its always messed up. Well that settles that argument.
So if i had a Mac i could never ever ever ever get rid of a file, because it woudl save it, just incase it was an accident, oh wait isn't that was recycling bin is for on windows? Cept with less hassle, or the system restore? c'mon apple, do something useful! If you are stupid enough to delete something twice you shouldn't be put infront of an expensive piece of equipment.
@chinh101 Its an amazing backup that you DO NOT save on your hard drive. if u do that its frigen useless dumass u save it on an external hard drive and if ur ever stupid enough to screw something up u can get it back almost instantly
Not only System Restore. Windows Vista and Seven have image backups. Here is my other gripe. When faced with such an economic crisis, what do you think people will buy? a $1,100 laptop? or a $600? I can get a laptop for $499 with the SAME stats as a high end mac. Don't go there with desktops. For $1,200 I could build a super computer.
wtf is wrong with people giving you thumbs down? I too bought a high end pc, quad core, 4gb 800mhz ram and all, 9800GTX+ and everything 1 and a half years ago, for only $690 AUS (which was approximately $500 - $525 US at the time)
I'm still using it right now, and I would have had to pay over $1000 to get a mac of the same caliber. Don't people know how much macs cost? To get one with a 9800GTX+ or similar card in it 1.5 years ago would be well over a grand, possibly still today even.
I was just on Windows 7 facebook page, and I was saying: Apple will most likely say, Windows 7 runs "faster" (in their opinion) on a Mac running bootcamp." I'll say, "Well, Windows 7 runs on a PC running Windows 7 the same as your Mac will for $2,000 less!". LMAO!
sys restore works perfectly in Vista and Seven.... In XP it worked not so good but it still existed... ye they work lil differently but the core idea is behind Microsoft...
And i dont need to use Mac, its pointless system... Nothing there i cant do on Win or Linux... and PC's are cheaper
@HHOJ Apple's on-board hardware is some of the most powerful stock hardware in the world for home computers! The new iMac can have up to 16 GB of RAM memory and you're saying THAT'S inferior to PCs? The types of processors that Macs come with can leave a PC running, Win. XP for example, in the dust. Also, explain to me why most people who do film editing (and most companies i.e. companies that do film restoration) use Mac Pros to process and render their projects?
Because I said, word for word, that Apple hardware was inferior, right?
Actually, I stated that FOR WHAT I REQUIRE, a MAC would be inferior to a PC, both in costs and in flexibility. And don't get me going on the specs you're throwing around, 'i.e. 16 GIGZ OF RAM, PROCESSORS THAT LEAVE XP MACHINESZ IN TEH DUST!!!!'
I can build an identical, neh, a SUPERIOR, machine for the same price as an iMac, and if you're that hardcore I can even draw the little Apple symbol on with a Sharpie.
@HHOJ Hardware specs. are everything in the computer world. Disagree if you must, but my 4 year old Mac I have at my house STILL runs better than my PC running Windows 7 with 2GB of RAM memory, 320GB of disk space, and 1GB of video memory. The specs. of my Mac are: 1GB of system RAM, 512GB of video memory, and a 120GB hard drive. I have Adobe Photoshop CS4 on both machines, and the old Mac still outdoes my PC with adequate specs.
"Hardware specs. are everything in the computer world."
Again, where did I say they weren't? You've taken every word of mine out of context. How typical. My focal point is that low-ball MACs are expensive in comparison to the $399 box PC's, which are still more than most computer users will ever need, and all for what, a little bit better processing power with Photoshop? Not worth the extra money, it just isn't, because that money could have just gone to upgrades.
@HHOJ Not just Photoshop but all forms of editing just seem to work better (and function in an easier-to-understand way) on a Mac, and I'm not saying that from biased, half-assed opinions, I'm saying that from personal experience. I have used film editing programs on Macs before and they outperform PCs in every way. And I'm not trying to say that you should go out and spend $2000 dollars for something with more features than you'll need. For most, a PC from Best Buy WOULD be enough...
@HHOJ Also, in mid 2009, I bought a Mac Mini from EBAY of all places, that's from 2005 and even IT destroyed my PC as far as stability and performance went.
Now, it is true that MACs do have a certain niche for music production, video editing, ect., but the way you talk it up, it's as if every major production studio in the world uses MACs and nothing but, which in itself is a complete and utter lie.
They have their uses, and truth be told, for your stereotypical no-brainer who just uses the internet and Microsoft word, yeah, a Mac is optimal. Too bad for someone like that, it's well out of their price range.
@HHOJ I didn't say film companies use nothing BUT Macs. And it's not as if I think your opinion about Macs sucks or anything, even if it sounded like it. I was simply stating facts that say why some people use Macs. Also, I see Macs as more of a privilege to use than something you can just go out and buy for no apparent reason (unless you have the money to do so) and I would feel incredibly lucky if I received and iMac or something for my birthday or as a gift from a family member.
It doesn't matter, pc's with windows don't crash, and thats all that matters imo.
I think macs work beautifully, but they won't sell any better until they fix the problem for all even average mac users who don't know how to fix theses types of problems.
1 out of 10 times any demanding program will crash on a mac out of nowhere losing all of your work, after about the 3rd computer i've tried and had it happen countless times i've given up on mac's entirely.
norton invented this software before mac had a gui. before mac was running linux kernels. PC owns on this one. I really hope your mac doesn't copy everything on disk every hour. congratulations your disk is filled up and you cant undelete something more than a day old cause it only holds 20 backups! pc can undelete to, its called a recycle bin. I can undelete even after I empty recycle bin. PC WINS!
heh. You need a History lesson. The Apple computer had a GUI long before Windows or DOS for that matter existed. Apple has been around longer than Norton. -and- the backup feature is an improved version of System Restore. I use a PC. i don't own a Mac. I don't endorse Macs. They're waaay too expensive and proprietary. Just wanted to set the record straight.
External or internal? I mean if it's external how is this any diffrent than any other flavor of backup shenanigans. Plus, Mac is all about simple, forcing the purchase and setup of an external drive seems like a lot for Mac's target demographic of people who don't have a lot of technical experience(discounting the hard core graphics design crowd).
why the heck would I delete a file and still be on the system? Am deleting it for a reason !!!
I don't want 1000s of copies made so someone can access it when am not around.

@ZHAUSQ I must say I've never been in this situation. I reject your premise but agree with your conclusion. Linux is technically best in the same way that a person who likes socialism conceptually must admit that communism is better insofar as it's the same principle applied in a more perfect scenario. If one approves of Windows' minor stripping of the user interface in the name of more system control and awareness, then Linux is the logical conclusion of that.

@turbowombat the point is that this feature comes with every mac and you don't really have to do it on your own and that it have a lot of positive sides. at windows you have to download or buy a external backup application... so i think this is the message

I LOVE this program! I just got my new apple three days ago, and started using this program on a backup drive right now.... And wow, you guys. If you hate apple computers so much, why are you even watching the ads? Besides, i really doubt such a over-simplification of "never being able to delete a virus" is in any way the truth. Have you seen reports of this, and seen it yourself? I don't mean to be mean, but get out of the 2-D thinking.

Not only System Restore. Windows Vista and Seven have image backups. Here is my other gripe. When faced with such an economic crisis, what do you think people will buy? a $1,100 laptop? or a $600? I can get a laptop for $499 with the SAME stats as a high end mac. Don't go there with desktops. For $1,200 I could build a super computer.
JerzeyLegend 2 years ago
wtf is wrong with people giving you thumbs down? I too bought a high end pc, quad core, 4gb 800mhz ram and all, 9800GTX+ and everything 1 and a half years ago, for only $690 AUS (which was approximately $500 - $525 US at the time)
I'm still using it right now, and I would have had to pay over $1000 to get a mac of the same caliber. Don't people know how much macs cost? To get one with a 9800GTX+ or similar card in it 1.5 years ago would be well over a grand, possibly still today even.

@0SukMunky0
I've used them enough to know they're inferior to PC for what I would need them to do, i.e. run virtual servers for labs, gaming, ect.
And to me, the inability to individually upgrade my hardware as I see fit is way too inhibitive. "Hey guys, let's pay extra for on-board hardware."
Uh, how about no?
(BTW at least my reasons are realistic, and not because I have a fetish for over-priced designer technology)
HHOJ 1 year ago
@HHOJ Apple's on-board hardware is some of the most powerful stock hardware in the world for home computers! The new iMac can have up to 16 GB of RAM memory and you're saying THAT'S inferior to PCs? The types of processors that Macs come with can leave a PC running, Win. XP for example, in the dust. Also, explain to me why most people who do film editing (and most companies i.e. companies that do film restoration) use Mac Pros to process and render their projects?
0SukMunky0 1 year ago
@0SukMunky0
Because I said, word for word, that Apple hardware was inferior, right?
Actually, I stated that FOR WHAT I REQUIRE, a MAC would be inferior to a PC, both in costs and in flexibility. And don't get me going on the specs you're throwing around, 'i.e. 16 GIGZ OF RAM, PROCESSORS THAT LEAVE XP MACHINESZ IN TEH DUST!!!!'
I can build an identical, neh, a SUPERIOR, machine for the same price as an iMac, and if you're that hardcore I can even draw the little Apple symbol on with a Sharpie.
HHOJ 1 year ago
@HHOJ Hardware specs. are everything in the computer world. Disagree if you must, but my 4 year old Mac I have at my house STILL runs better than my PC running Windows 7 with 2GB of RAM memory, 320GB of disk space, and 1GB of video memory. The specs. of my Mac are: 1GB of system RAM, 512GB of video memory, and a 120GB hard drive. I have Adobe Photoshop CS4 on both machines, and the old Mac still outdoes my PC with adequate specs.
0SukMunky0 1 year ago
@0SukMunky0
"Hardware specs. are everything in the computer world."
Again, where did I say they weren't? You've taken every word of mine out of context. How typical. My focal point is that low-ball MACs are expensive in comparison to the $399 box PC's, which are still more than most computer users will ever need, and all for what, a little bit better processing power with Photoshop? Not worth the extra money, it just isn't, because that money could have just gone to upgrades.
HHOJ 1 year ago
@HHOJ Not just Photoshop but all forms of editing just seem to work better (and function in an easier-to-understand way) on a Mac, and I'm not saying that from biased, half-assed opinions, I'm saying that from personal experience. I have used film editing programs on Macs before and they outperform PCs in every way. And I'm not trying to say that you should go out and spend $2000 dollars for something with more features than you'll need. For most, a PC from Best Buy WOULD be enough...

Now, it is true that MACs do have a certain niche for music production, video editing, ect., but the way you talk it up, it's as if every major production studio in the world uses MACs and nothing but, which in itself is a complete and utter lie.
They have their uses, and truth be told, for your stereotypical no-brainer who just uses the internet and Microsoft word, yeah, a Mac is optimal. Too bad for someone like that, it's well out of their price range.
HHOJ 1 year ago
@HHOJ I didn't say film companies use nothing BUT Macs. And it's not as if I think your opinion about Macs sucks or anything, even if it sounded like it. I was simply stating facts that say why some people use Macs. Also, I see Macs as more of a privilege to use than something you can just go out and buy for no apparent reason (unless you have the money to do so) and I would feel incredibly lucky if I received and iMac or something for my birthday or as a gift from a family member.

I think macs work beautifully, but they won't sell any better until they fix the problem for all even average mac users who don't know how to fix theses types of problems.
1 out of 10 times any demanding program will crash on a mac out of nowhere losing all of your work, after about the 3rd computer i've tried and had it happen countless times i've given up on mac's entirely.

norton invented this software before mac had a gui. before mac was running linux kernels. PC owns on this one. I really hope your mac doesn't copy everything on disk every hour. congratulations your disk is filled up and you cant undelete something more than a day old cause it only holds 20 backups! pc can undelete to, its called a recycle bin. I can undelete even after I empty recycle bin. PC WINS!
Ureallydontknow 3 years ago
heh. You need a History lesson. The Apple computer had a GUI long before Windows or DOS for that matter existed. Apple has been around longer than Norton. -and- the backup feature is an improved version of System Restore. I use a PC. i don't own a Mac. I don't endorse Macs. They're waaay too expensive and proprietary. Just wanted to set the record straight.

External or internal? I mean if it's external how is this any diffrent than any other flavor of backup shenanigans. Plus, Mac is all about simple, forcing the purchase and setup of an external drive seems like a lot for Mac's target demographic of people who don't have a lot of technical experience(discounting the hard core graphics design crowd).
