The MAC was supposed to be better than a PC.
Does anybody out there know how to use this thing?
Heaven’s man, what’s the panic? Yeah it’s pretty easy to learn a few things and do a lot more out of the box.
Turn it on.
Mac users are more intelligent and sophisticated than PC users. Ask them.
Good luck with it, hope the learning curve isn’t too bad.
whatever you do dont cuss in front of it
Point and click.
Take a breath, man. Are you posting using your Mac? If so, you’re already doing pretty well. If not, then what are you trying to do that you can’t do?
OK, I’ve turned it on. I can type nonsense like this like I always do. How do I open up a new window by clicking on what I want to open up.
I used to right click on my screen name and my homepage would come up. Help.
Dude, it sucks ass. Now.
Then again, ask me in 3 weeks and I might have a different opinion. Hell, I taught myself HTML. 2nd grade level but still...I’m proud of myself.
See post 8. How do I click on something and get it to open up in a new window?
What kind of mouse do you have? What are you trying to open?
You’re funny, but outgoing. Relax man, you’re going to love this in about 20 minutes.
First of all what do you have. If it’s a 24” imac congradulations.
The first thing that is different is that the menu for your application does not reside in its’ window.
The menu for any window is always at the top of your computer screen.
So get used to that.
Do you have a mighty mouse with a little ball in the center?
If so you can lean to the left on it for left clicking and lean to the right on it for right clicking.
If you squeeze it in the midde (left and right sides) all your windows that are open will appear at once.
Run down to Starbucks and get a Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte with double orange and every thing will become clear.
sorry I meant congratulations
It makes a great boat anchor.
Panic? Yes, there is panic.
I’m a legend in my own mind. I have important work in my time off here to educate the unwashed masses in the proletariet on other sites.
Do you have a MAC?
Stop Over Thinking the MAC, play Dumb, trust me it will make sense, Mac User since ‘98
I changed to Apple a few years ago and now have a mac book, I like it so well I just ordered another one for my wife.
Just relax and you will like it.
By the way what model?
Please be more precise. There are plenty of Mac people here who will be happy to help you.
To open a folder, simply double click it. If you want to open a second window for the folder you’re opening rather than have it replace the original window, go to Preferences (under the apple menu, upper left hand corner of your screen) and check “always open folders in a new window.”
this is kind of like the process of going from a stick shift to an automatic that’s all...
simply find the internet browser of your choice along the dock at the bottom of your page... just drag the mouse down there and double click... you should go to a default home page...
to change the home page click on the apple or file menu with the browser open and look up internet prefs... it is so easy to set this up in a week you’re going to be of your mind happy with your purchase
