I was just wondering when ever you watch tv shows about movies, or photos they all use Apple computers. Why is that?

It's called product placement

This answer can be and can get varying degrees of opinions.
The FACT of the matter is for many Years Apple lead the way in innovative Graphics, and Special Affects used in the Movie Industry. Many of the Softwares that were developed were done on Apple computers, with the use of Studio Pro and others I won'r bore you with a litany of software you have never heard of.
In recent years with the advent of newer more powerful graphics it is true many have turned to the dark side and went to PC's but remember it took them 20 years to catch up to Apple in this area.
It is a matter of choice any more, I still own both
Cheers
Don

Even though I am an Apple fan, I must say that i agree with the two other answers and say it is all about marketing my friend.
If you would take note of the last few 007 Bond films. Look at the cars - Ashton Martin, the motorbike - BMW, the watch - Rolex, the phone - Sony, all these are part of their marketing strategy. And mind you these product makers are the same from movie to movie. Hummmm why is that? (smile) So it is all about marketing and winning you the potential customer.

For some it's a matter of personal preference, others it's advertising. Some actors/actresses specify what they want to use. On "24" the first year the good guys used Macs, the evil guys used Windows. This last year on "24" I think only Chloe used a MacBook Pro. On "Ugly Betty" they are using what is used at a magazine setting, they would use Macs.

Marketing.
Macs used to have the best graphics and music software about 20 years ago, this is no longer true but a lot of people think it is. As a result anyone who thinks they are arty (like TV people) tend to use Macs. These days anything you can do on a Mac can be done just as well on a PC.
Special effects and animated films are usually rendered on large clusters of PCs even if they were originally designed on Macs. Why? Because its a lot cheaper than building a large cluster of Macs.

Because they are the best!! They have a lot of programs you'd need installed automatically, but also, the apple has the most innovative design, operating system, and seamless communication between your devices or other computers, no viruses, and most of the stuff you'll do on there (like movies and photos) is a lot cooler and easier than on a PC. Mac's are the best...hands down.

A lot of it is advertising for Mac, which is designed for high-end graphics. Advertising agencies use them a lot because that is what Macs are made for. Movies usually advertise a certain product, like the Ford Mustang in many of the older movies with chase scenes.
