can i run Quickbooks Pro 13 on my Mac
I purchased Account Edge software a few years ago, and it as not as user friendly as Quickbooks. Everyone I do business with uses Quickbooks, and it would make it simpler and cost effective to use Quickbooks Pro 2013. Will I be able to run this program, without a lot of hiccups, with all of my Mac products. I have desktop, Macbook Pro laptop, IPad, iPhone, and that is why switched over to Apple, so that everything syncs, and it is "idiot" proof. I am better when everything flows, and runs smoothly.
Please let me know as soon as possible.
Thank you for your help. :)

13" pro retina or 13" air for programmers and web developer
Hi there,
I am thinking of buying either 13 pro retina or 13 air.
I am programmer (java, javascript, PHP and markup languages) and not quite sure what to go for.
Apps i will mainly use:
Microsoft Office: Word, Excel and Powerpoint
IDE apps: Eclipse, notepad++ and Xcode
localhosted servers: XAMPP
Occasionally Adobe products: Photoshop and Illustrator (for web design)
and other typical internet activities...
I am interested in both, because:
The air is cheaper and very portable, but does not have retina (I would prefer to have new techs)
Specs of pro retina is great, nice design nearly as portable as air which is great, but it is little bit more expensive.
Do you reckon my requirements would be suitable for pro? (which is investing for the future) or just go for the air because that is enough?
Many thanks- Asked by Jonathan P from Nonthaburi

How do i connect my 11 inch macbook air to my tv with sound. What wires will I need?
My macbook only has two usb ports, the thunderbolt port, and headphone jack. What wires will I need for those available ports and can you explain how to hook it up, too? Oh, i need to be able to hear the sound, too. Thanks.

Best AnswerI'm assuming you have an HDMI port on your tv. If so, HDMI carries both video and sound, so you need Belkin Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Adapter. This should go from your Thunderbolt port to HDMI port in the tv

Any blue ray
Does Apple make a SuperDrive with a blue ray DVD drive?

Best AnswerNo it doesn't and probably never will. People have been asking for it ever since it came out but Apple long decided that online streaming is the future. I would love for them to put in blu ray but I highly doubt they ever will.

Should I get an Airport Express or an Airport Extreme?
What are the differences in performance between the Airport Express and the Airport Extreme?
- Asked by Theodore D from Taos

Best AnswerI have both and performance is excellent for both but Extreme seems to have a better range. USB port is expandable (with a hub) on the Extreme whereas it isn't with the Express. The Extreme is worth the extra $ in my opinion.

Best Answer
My teachers use it at school. It is really only if you want to lock down the laptop so no one will casually steal it. you can buy (i guess from Kensington) a 4 number combination lock that clicks in and is attached on the other end to a long thin metal cable that you can loop around any small enough object that isn't going anywhere, like a column of some sort.
Is that good?- Answered by Nikko S from Florence
