Can someone direct to me the proper sites or where to find specifics on the transfer from Windows to Mac. I have only been able to understand the basics that are on the Apple website. I am sure there is a lot more that I can do with this advice. Thanks in advance.
 
I'm not really understanding your question - is the information on Apple's site about migrating from Windows lacking in some way? If so, how? Is there something specific you'd like to do that you didn't see addressed?
 
Hi Iamguv

Welcome to the Forum!

By "Transfer", do you mean transferring files, folders, e-mail, etc.?

Or do you mean learning how to use a Mac effectively?

You may want to turn 2-button mouse "ON" in system preferences if it isn't already. This enables right-clicking. Speaking of right-clicking, the single-button Mighty Mouse can be right clicked by lifting your left finger from the mouse (there's a left-finger sensor). This simple setting helped me transition.

The Apple icon in the upper left corner is used for sleep, shutdown, logout, restart and other system related tasks.

Normally instead of the Start button, you will use either the Dock or Finder.

You'll probably get used to it quickly. In the end most Mac users find OSX easier to use than Windows or at least like it better.

Have Fun
Good Luck,
Keri

I think that mroogle stands for "MacRumors Google". It's a good place to search for anything on MacRumors, because MacRumors' built-in search doesn't usually work very well.

To answer the IamGov's question: I would recommend using MRoogle to search for any questions you might have. Over the years I'm pretty sure that any question that can be asked HAS been asked here.
