New 'puter Questions.

1. The mouse & keyboard sleep when not in use. They can be used, though, to wake your Mac (you can disable the feature in System Preferences > Bluetooth, Advanced...)

2. The delete key is next to the +/= key? If you mean a forward delete, then use fn-delete (function key and delete key).

3. To use Time Machine, open the Finder window you're interested in recovering a file from, then click on the Time Machine icon in the Dock. The back arrow goes back in time to the last modification to the folder or document, or you can select the time/date along the right side. Use the Restore button to retrieve the file/document (there are more options in the tool bar).

This also works with Time Machine aware applications such as Mail and Address Book (meaning you can go back in time from within those applications).

 

hope you enjoy your mac!!

1. the mouse and keyboard go into standby mode - they still consume power but not as much as when its "on".

2. delete as in backspace? its in the same spot as on PCs.. delete as in trash things? click and drag it to the trash bin in the dock! (or select it and :apple + :delete: it).

3. have you turned on time machine? if not, enable it via System Preferences->Time Machine and click it "ON". you can enter time machine through this preference pane as well.

4. as others have said, depends on what provider you are with. please tell us

goodluck !

 

I suggest, before you need it anger, you have a play with it. Create a file, perhaps with text edit, write something in it like 'this is edit one ' or similar. A little bit more than an hour later, change it, perhaps 'this is two'. Wait another hour (TM backups are hourly) then delete it.

Open finder, then enter TM, and you'll be able to navigate back and forwards through the different versions of the file.

Note that the way TM works, after a day, only the last of those versions will be restorable , because TM keeps hourly backups for a day, then daily, cant recall after that I think it goes monthly. Worth playing with, and it saved my bacon when I accidentally deleted a Mail folder and only realised that a few weeks later, I was able to go back and restore (and that took a little looking as it doesn't go back where it was but to a new mail folder called 'Time Machine'.

 

Have you looked on the Thunderbird page?

If you don't know your freeserve settings, you'll have to talk to them.

 

As the other person said, either ask freeserve (do they still exist?) or copy them from your old computer (in the email apps settings)

 

See http://help.orange.co.uk/orangeuk/support/selfservice/index.jsp for help on Freeserve email configuration.
