25 reasons to hate Macs
Cuteness. Personal computers should not be “cute”. Apple Macs don’t have balloons, or popups or message boxes, no, instead they have icons that feel the need to bounce up and down to get your attention in a way that is beyond irritating. Computers are machines, they are not people. I do not want computer icons to have personalities of their own. Apple, you have gone too far.
File naming. Windows-PCs allow you to batch name files, so if for instance you have 20 photos you want to name ‘Reasons I hate Macs’, they will be renamed quite simply, with numbers appended to the end of the filename for each subsequent file in the group. With Macs, you simply can’t do this. So, if you’re say, dealing with a couple of hundred files, such as in the case where you might be organising photos from a digital camera or other such device, you soon find yourself in difficulty. Heaven help you if you have file name clashes and have to manually rename each individual file…
No maximise / full screen function. This is a major design flaw in Mac OS. Tell me Apple, why can we not maximise our windows? Also please tell me why – for the love of all that is good – is it so damn hard to arrange two documents side by side?
No MSPaint or equivalent programme. Want to make a very minor edit to an image? Want to combine two images together quickly and easily without using an expensive photo editing suite? Not possible with a Mac I’m afraid.
Image resizing issues. Following on from point 4, Apple, in all its infinite wisdom has decided that we are not allowed to be able to resize image by hand. If you are lucky enough to find a half-decent Mac-compatible MSPaint replacement, you will find that you have to know precisely the dimensions you want the image, and are restricted from the long established convention of having a tiny set of diagonal arrows in the bottom right hand corner with which to resize. Seriously Apple… I mean seriously, come on!
Insidiousness of iTunes. If you’re not a fully signed-up member of the Apple fan club, then the insidiousness of iTunes, and the way Apple forces iTunes down your throat can really start to get on your nerves. I don’t want to have to convert my generic sound file into iTunes format – I just want you to play the damn thing!
Image preview issues. One of the big selling points of Apple Macs is the fact that they’re (apparently) really good for multimedia-type tasks. However, even in this realm Macs are completely unintuitive and add unnecessary extra steps to tasks that should be simple. Say I have some images on my desktop and want to view them. On a PC, all I do is double-click on one, and then use arrow keys to scroll through all images in that location. On a Mac it’s not so simple. No, with Macs you have to have all the images you want to preview selected beforehand. I don’t think I need to elaborate any more on just how frustrating this can be in a busy working environment, or say, when someone calls and you’re trying to hold a phone to your ear while trying to select the images you need to scroll through…
Deleting files from portable devices. Typically if you’re a Mac user, you will only make this mistake once, because if you make this mistake more than once it can be quite costly. Basically, if you were say, to delete images from a removable memory card for a camera, you then have to carry out the ‘empty trash’ function, otherwise, though the memory card will appear empty, they will in actual fact, still be considered ‘full’. Turning up at an event with a full memory card in your camera that tells you it’s empty, but has no more space is not fun, and you need to return said memory card to the same Mac you deleted the files from in order to resolve the issue. If this Mac is a long way away, such as say, in another city, you are, what we in the trade call, fucked.
No right-click to create files. When you have a filing system on your machine that is many, many layers deep, it’s sometimes an awful lot easier to be able to right click in the location you want to create a new file if you happen to have that folder already open. With Macs, you can’t do this. Not only is this grossly inefficient, but it is but one of many ‘right-click’ issues that crop up in this list…
No right-click to print option. Want to quickly print a document, or a series of documents? I’m sorry dear Mac users, but you will have to manually open each file in turn and click print. But don’t worry; at least your Mac looks nice!
No right-click to preview. Again, another issue. What is it with Macs and ease-of-use eh? You’d almost think you weren’t paying overinflated prices for this stuff…
MSWord on Mac just isn’t as good as it is on PCs. I guess you’d understand, given how MSWord is made by Microsoft and all, but this issue goes far deeper than just MSWord, and the needs of a humble writer such as myself. The issue here is that most programmes, in their Mac form, are inferior to their PC cousins. Many lack options on Macs that are readily available in PC form. Another implied issue here is the fact that you’re using MSWord on a Mac at all. Shouldn’t Apple have its own decent office package?
Compatibility. Following on from point 12 is the issue of compatibility. If you want to use your beloved Mac for anything beyond Photoshop, good luck. If you’re a gamer, then well quite frankly you might as well throw your joystick away. And don’t even get me started on the upgradeability issue!
Cost. Ok so thankfully I didn’t have to splash out on buying our office Macs, but consider this: the extra money spent on Macs could be spent on buying useful software licenses, or other equipment around the office. And it’s not just the cost of the hardware and fancy peripherals you have to bear in mind here. Also consider the cost of batteries for all these wireless devices, and the cost of finding a half-decent computer support provider that can help you should (heaven forbid) your beloved Macs go wrong.
Stability is a myth. I can’t believe just how serious some Mac fanboys and fangirls get about the stability argument and that well-worn phrase ‘Macs don’t get viruses’. I’m sorry people, but you’re wrong. I am only a writer, and so I’m not really using ‘resource-heavy’ applications. I use Word, Excel, Outlook, Chrome (the default browser Safari is rubbish, but that’s another story), and of course finder. The thing is, my brand-new Mac doesn’t like it when I have lots of Word documents open. In fact, it detests it. And whatever you do, don’t ever think about opening documents with large tables in, or with… images. On average, my Mac will freeze or crash at least once a week, sometimes more. And it’s not just me either. Search the internet and you will find literally hundreds, if not thousands of similar cases. Let me say it again: Mac stability is a myth!
No ‘Print Screen’ button. Apparently the reason there’s no Print Screen button on Mac keyboards is to ‘streamline’ the keyboard experience, and reduce needless clutter. Well Apple if this is the case, what the blazes are the extra function keys along the top of the keyboard for? Oh wait, they’re redundant…
Simple processes made needlessly complicated. So you need to take a quick screenshot, but find there is not Print Screen button to hand. What do you do? You spend hours trawling forums that’s what you do. Why are things made so needlessly complicated? By supposedly ‘improving’ the screenshot function, Apple has actually made it x10 more complicated. So much so every time I want to take a few screenshots I have to look up how to do it! And the thing is I’m quite a tech-savvy person. Goodness knows what the average man or woman on the street does!

Du klarar alltså inte av att ta screenshot på en Mac? Eller klarar av att högerklicka? Inte heller kan du maximera fönster?
Jag håller med andra i tråden att du ska nog inte använda datorer alls.
Bättre du ägnar mer tid åt fingerade exempel om varför just du inte klarar av saker
