Hi Dear Friends,
I am still new to my Mac and in spite of the fact i have purchased "Switching to the Mac" textbook i wonder whether there is a website that will help me learn this wonderful system on line.The Book is too bulky.Please help.
what exactly do yo not understand?
When i bought my first mac ever i learned the OS in like 2 hours, im just not sure what you're not understanding.
Few noobie things:
Just because you click on an application doesn't quit the application just closes the window.
when you're looking for something search it in finder, just make sure you're searching the whole HDD and not just one folder or something.
Spotlight is also a good search tool, and its a calculator =)
you need mwv player for mac to play windows media i believe, its a free app.
VLC plays nearly any file you have.
you can make your trackpad right click under preferences if you want
system preferences is like control panel on a windows machine
Command Q is the quickest way to close an application.
four finger down shows you all of your open pages, very handy, i cant even imagine using a mac that doesn't have this gesture (my friends have older macs that use corners and i want to kill myself when i use their macs, its so slow and not easy)
you can pick which webpages are in your top sites, and remove the ones that are currently in there.
google anything you don't understand.
Office 2011 on Mac is nearly the same as Office on Windows.
Are you using trackpad or do you have a mouse,? buy a trackpad if you have a Mac Desktop.
You and add and delete which folders are not the Left side of the finder box.
those are a lot of the common switching troubles, and i just did all of that in my head in about 20 seconds lol. this is all my parents had trouble with when they first got their mac. ummmmmmm.. the three bars in the top right is wifi? lol. it looks for routers for you and you simply click on the connection you want to use.
