you can cut text, but not files. SJ (Steve Jobs) wants use to use the click and drag.

That's just silly. This option has been available for years in the Windows operating system and in Linux in general for a number of years as well. I hate having to copy files when I can just as easily move the files in other operating systems.

^Oh you're right... You can copy files but not cut, huh? Wow I JUST realized that -.-;;

Double post because my internet went retarded for a minute.

Just a random note after taking the MBP outside of the house the first time. WOW I really miss the matte screen on my old MBP. I can practically see myself typing this from the reflection of the screen X_X

I wonder if it's just me who has this problem, it's not that bad, just a tiny bit annoying.

After using Expose to find my finder window, I can't drag files. I have to use other ways to switch to finder.

i have questions!!! lol
which is better? parallel or vmware??
and, can i also use it as if it were the actual OS like installing progs or saving stuff? (want to use WinXP or Vista)
Can i move files from parallel/vmware to my macbook hdd?? (like click/drag)

i have bootcamp, but it's a hassle to restart just to use a program or 2 x3


also, how do i use smc fan control?? O_o; i don't understand it ;;;;
my computer gets really noisy when i empty the trashcan ha ha? too much junk?

thanks!!

[erure]

^They're both good. I've only used vmware so I can't say but sometimes even loading up vmware becomes a chore hahaha... And you can do all that stuff like save files to the Mac HDD and move files back and forth. I only have like, 10gb of HDD for Windows and I just save anything I download directly to the Mac HDD.

thanks~~!
i just tried vmware with Bootcamp as the Virtual partition and thought my computer was having seizures x_X (maybe because I still have just 1gb ram)

neways, I think I'll stick to Bootcamp for now

It has to be FAT32, it can't be NTFS

Is there any free word processing application I can download on my iBook G4? I used to use Pages (given by my school when it was still my school's laptop) but after it became mine, they totally deleted all the application they paid for (such as Photoshop and etc.) I searched up on google and downloaded something called AbiWord but it totally stucked And I found out that I have to pay in order to get Pages. Any suggestions?

Um, yeah I don't understand what that is..
What's FAT32 and what's NTFS?
Gah, I feel very.. unintelligent x_x

basically attach the drive to your mac, goto disk utility, goto Erase and under Volume Format select MS-DOS (FAT)

Hey everyone,

I just got a white Macbook yesterday and am still very new to it since I've only used it for a year a couple years back. I went through all 69 pages to see if similar questions were asked but I apologize if I'm repeating any questions. I just have some two questions:

1. Are there usually Mac versions to programs? I want to download Adobe Photoshop but not too sure if there's a difference between the one I usually download for my Windows and a Mac.

2. Can I use DC++ with a Mac?

Thanks for all the help

[Goombi]

1. There are definitely ALWAYS mac alternatives to MOST programs. Exceptions include korean broadcasts, windows games, etc. However, if you're looking at the adobe series, people say they run the same, if not better, in comparison to the Windows version. I have photoshop, lightroom, and reader. They all run perfectly, so you should have no problem.

2. I find it actually easier to use DC++ on a mac. When I was in res, I just used Shakespeer and it worked without a hitch.


Congrats on the new mac. You won't turn back

[Pseudonym]

^ Thanks for the reply !

Some more questions:

1. How would I go about doing Disk Cleanup and Disk Defragmenter on a Mac?

2. How would I clear private data, cookies, and anything else when I'm using Safari?

3. I have full bars when my AirPort is on but my download speed is very slow (even for a small program file) -- does this have anything to do with the Mac?

Thanks!

Edit:
I downloaded Shakespeer and it tells me "Mounting failed." I then tried to download it again but got the same message...help?

[e00z]

from what i know, mac actually defrags itself continuously so you never have to do that. though you can repair permissions by using disk utility. you can clear data and stuff in safari from its menu bar under safari>reset safari. i also use "onyx" which is a great free program for system maintenance. my airport never had to be configured or anything so i'm guessing it's probably your connection and not the mac's fault..
