Do a google search for senuti - it's a free mac program that lets you take songs off your ipod and drop them into itunes (or any other folder).

Sweet! Thanks for that pointer. I've got 3 machines with iTunes and 3 ipods. I can never keep track of which one's synced with what. This'll help bring content to any one of them.

Provides the new user with basic functions. Heck, I've had my MBP for 15 months now and I am still learning a few things from them haha
 
ok next question... last thing didnt answer mine too much since i was asking for a part of the os not external software, i know thers software for windows as well... but anyway

question 1: in windows you can use ctrl + left or right to skip word by word through a line of text, how do you do this in a mac?

question 2: when i tab through fields on a web form, mac skips select tags, why does it do this? i usually will tab from city to state, type p and get pennsylvania, then tab to zip. with mac i have to click the state dropdown with a mouse. i know its a mac issue because it happens even in firefox.

thanks
 
i thought you guys were mac pros. all i see is windows sucks etc yet no one can show me where these features exist in mac os.

The first one, you hit option + left or option + right to skip word by word
apple (command) + left or apple (command) + right will skip to the end or the front of a line of text.

Shift + command + right will highlight a line of text
Shift + command + down will highlight a block of text

System Preferences -> Keyboard and Mouse -> Keyboard Shortcuts:

At the bottom for "Full Keyboard Access" make sure "All Controls" is set.
