Thanks for all the help guys, the fn + delete worked.

Keep those suggestions coming. I am determined to learn this.

I need to watch a tutorial.

Good catch, Gvidas

Merc, I think the key is to relax.
There's not that much difference between PC and Mac.
...just many preconceived ideas no matter which side you're coming from.

I am trying hard to over come them, thanks for your support. It is just going to take time to grow on me.

Part of the problem is that I am so much more familiar with the other platform that I feel lost. But I am in for the long haul, considering the financial investment.

Macs also allow you to use most of the emacs control key combinations. So Ctrl + D will also do a delete.

You can get this stuff in dribbles, but you really ought to skim that book I recommended earlier. It's an easy read.

Ok, Thanks, another quick question.

I see a pic I want to save either on an email or just on the web. On PC I would just right click and hit save and then save to a file. There is no right click on this thing. How would I save a pic after I place my cursor over it?

Lamplighter 07-26-2010 04:01 PM

Usually, you can just click on the pic and drag it to your desktop.

Once on your desktop you can double-click and see it in PREVIEW, and this gives you the option of changing the file-type (via SAVE AS), along with a few simple tools.

Cool. Thanks again!

I am really having an issue with bookmarks now. It is a total mess. Any pointers?

TheMercenary 07-26-2010 06:20 PM

I have a file with all my previous "favorites" saved in a file. How do I migrate that file to the bookmarks of my MAC?

gvidas 07-26-2010 08:12 PM

Control - click will give you contextual menus / most of the functionality of a right click.

TheMercenary 07-26-2010 08:23 PM

COOL, thanks. Keep those tips coming. :thumb:

If you have an apple mouse, you can make it do right clicks, but it's not turned on by default. Open the preferences app and choose the mouse.

If you have a laptop, you can command (clover) click on something for a right-click. You also should look into the touchpad gestures. They are one of the best things about an apple laptop.

I got a regular mouse so I could right click - I can't stand the way Apple does it. As for favorites, Safari can import bookmarks, but I am not sure how or how well it works. I would just back them up in Firefox then restore them in Firefox on my Mac. Firefox will automatically bring over IE favorites, last time I checked.

You don't have to buy a different mouse. The regular apple mouse will do both left and right clicks. You just have to turn it on in the preferences.

Ok, I will try that.
