I am a windows guy. Have been for a long time.
I am msft certified in c/c++/windev.
I am also a professional musician. I also make music videos and do a fair amount of graphics work.
I have recently been gifted a late-2011 MBP which I am upgrading. It'll be my first mac.
I have used macs for music (Logic Pro) and video (Final Cut Pro X), but have found it so hard to get my head around basic stuff.
The editing and recording is fine, but the backing up and file management is a mystery.
Can anyone point me to a good "getting to understand your mac" resource?
A good for instance was trying to back up Final Cut X projects. I must've tried 6 different ways to get the mac to see ANY location to move a project, and it never worked... in the end I just brute force moved folders of things I hope to never have to open again...
If I'm gonna be using a mac, I really need some basic concept help...
Any thoughts?
Willing to try and fail, but any help is appreciated!
