MacTutorials to help you get started

Most of you here are probably already masive Mac experts, but I'm sure you know some one who's knowledge of their operating system is poor at best. Well, if you're sick of telling these people how to use their computers, send em on over to www.mactutorials.blogspot.com . Every week (maybe every day, depending on demand) I will post a new entry detailing, as simply as possible, how to get the most out of your computer, starting with Finder and moving from there. Check it out yourself, you might just learn something!

 

great, glad youl iked it! Let me know if there's anything else you're interested in knowing! (also, tell your firends)

 

well, damn it, that's a pretty good little manual
hopefully, I'll be able to offer people information that's a bit more personalized, or atleast something they can find useful. I plan on detailing proper use of many other third party applications, such as Acquisition, Adium, Delicious Library, and many others that complete the mac experience which, i noticed, have been overlooked by Apple's Get Started manual.

Thanks, you mad jew

 

good call, ill work that into the Safari Tutorial!
Also, on the subject of Safari, if anyone can tell me why you'd use Safari's RSS features over, say, Newsfire or NetNewsWire, that'd be great. I can't really figure out it's advantages.

 

That's the idea. So many of my friends don't know how to even use the Finder properly because they're so used to Windows Explorer, and whats the point of even buing a mac in the first place if you're only gonna use it like a PC?

 

The Mail overview has been posted, up next, iCal, then the chat Apps: iChat, Adium, and Proteus. Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated

 

thanks, kalif. let me know if there's anything I'm missing or could improve on by posting a comment on the blog! Any and all comments are greatly appreciated

 

Calendar sharing is nothing more than iCal creating an easy to use webpage based off of your calendars, which allows people, such as friends or family to view your schedule. Say you're at college, you cant remember what class you've got next and you've lost your timetable! Well, as long as you've entered your timetable into iCal, then published the calendar (using the steps on my site) you can just check it from any web browser. You can also subscribe to your friend's calendars, too, which will make a new calendar in iCal that automatically updates itself everytime your friend changes their calendar.

Pretty cool, eh?

by the way, I'd really appreciate it if you guys could leave comments on my website, that way I can get back to you quicker, and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy to know that people are actually reading this stuff.

 

Thanks a lot, gary, good luck with the big Switch! if you need any help, feel free to send me an email through the site! (that goes for all of you too)

 

Done. Thanks for the helpful criticsm!

 

wow! I'm on Digg ! Holy cow.

 

Tons and tons of new tutorials up! Let me know what you think. Post comments! Don't hesitate to ask questions! Spread the word!
