I'm new to the android world and I was just wondering how to update to JB 4.2 with my mac, I have seen some videos on how to do it on AT&T version on windows but does anyone know how to update the wind version with a mac?

There is no official 4.2 out for the S3 as yet. There are 4.2 roms, you must be rooted to install and use them.

Will the 4.2 rom have the same affect as updating to jb 4.2? and do you know when will there be an official jb 4.2

AT&T doesn't even have the 4.1.2 out yet. If you want it, you gotta root it. All 4.2 roms are based on JB. If you root, it will be the same as the official, whenever that comes out. As long as you read up on it, rooting is very easy. It does look scary, but it's not.

Hi 99vfr and JSYNC,

Using a modded version of JB will give you access to the latest version of Jelly Bean on your Galaxy S3. However, there is a huge downside, you lose all the touchwiz features.

I just came back to touchwiz (JB 4.1) on my Bell GS3, I have been a long time Cyanogenmod user. There is nothing wrong with Cyanogenmod, I would suggest it to anyone who wants a modded phone, I just don't suggest it as the gain is too little to warrant on a Samsung device.

In the end, it is up to you.

One thing I have to mention that Grunt said,

All 4.2 roms are based on JB. If you root, it will be the same as the official, whenever that comes out.

Just be aware that it will be the same as the official Google Android, NOT Touchwiz

Could you possibly please send me some links on how to root my wind galaxy s3 using a Mac
I don't use touchWiz at all so I don't mind. I heard rumour rooting your phone makes it faster and the battery last long, i'd like to get in on that. lol
