The renewed popularity in recent years, Apple owes in part to its integrated software suite, the famous "Ilife.
Of course you can find on the net for freeware that fulfill the same functions as the software, but try finding a free editing software as easy and efficient access to iMovie ... And what about Garageband, the program is simply the most intuitive and ingenious that I have to try in the field of computer music.

We are interested in more detail in multitrack recording software from Apple, the interface is pretty close to what we find in the competition, and more refined. It does not support VST, but the amount of virtual instruments proposed base is impressive, it is comprehensive enough to effectively cover most genres. Once a registration, it is possible to prune and then transform it into a loop with a single mouse click, all with remarkable precision.
The latest version also offers courses (ten are included for basic piano and another dozen for the guitar, the rest must be put out to the portfolio), rather damn good for beginners, there discusses the basics of two instruments, the grip to agreements / lines.

Other software suite is in my view less bluffing, iPhoto allows organizing photos, nothing to jump up. I have not had the opportunity to test iDVD, but still a good place for iWeb, the little program that allows web design to create pages very correct and without bothering with visual lines of code.
