New to mac. Question.

[Scfc1863]

Hi.

Just converted from Windows to mac and so far im finding it quite different to say the least.

So today i downloaded a the RealPlayer application. The D/L saved to the desktop so i opened it up and installed it etc. When that was done i moved the icon in the applications folder. This resulted in the application not being able to play because it couldn't locate the application??

This is what i have done with all applications i have downloaded so far and they all work fine.

Any help.

Another quick question what is the keyboard shortcut for "Cut" i read it was apple key & X but this doesnt seem to work for me

If you opened the application before moving it into the applications folder the preference files may very well be confused. I'd try reinstalling the application and make sure it gets place in the permanent location before opening it.

Apple key & X should be cut. I have no clue why this won't work for you.

Whenever i download the application it automatically installs the app to the desktop.

Anyway to stop this.

When you go through the install process it should at some point say something like "change install location"
