Help for a new apple user

Hey there,
This is my first mac that i bought 2 days ago. I have a fairly simple and stupid problem. I downloaded firefox and picasa but now i cant find where they are stored, so cant open and use them. Any suggestion how should i find them?
thanks

just a small point, this is the iPod touch forum. it seems you have got a reply, but this is not necessarily the best place to find answers about using a a Mac. select the relevant forum from here:

Help for a new MAC user

I just made the move from PC to MAC. I have and need to use my Office 2003. Can someone help a newbie to install it on my new Imac?

If that Office 2003 is for Windows, it will not install on OS X. The only way to get a Windows application on a Mac is using something like Boot Camp (Parallels, VMWare Fusion) and then a Windows system as well.

Has it been disabled via Settings -> General -> Restrictions?
I assume you have checked other pages of apps by swiping to the left from the home screen?

She should call Apple support or visit the Genius Bar at an Apple store (make an appointment first at http://apple.com/retail). They will walk her through the process.

Audio cable help for the new AppleTV.

Audio cable help for the new AppleTV.
Currently I have an original AppleTV with audio RCA plugs to mini plug into my BOSE speakers.
The 2nd Gen AppleTv has a Toslink input. I've looked at cables of Toslink to optical mini. Will this cable work? The optical mini part I'm not sure of what it is.
Thanks so much. The monitor I use doesn't have speakers.
This is the cable I see at Amazon

If I understand your question correctly, you want to connect your Apple TV2 to your Bose system using a mini plug.
You will need an optical to digital coax RCA converter (find it on Ebay about $15), then you can connect your mini cable. Here is a link to one I recently bought on Ebay: http://fwd4.me/nrQ

I'm a new Apple user and trying to learn about some tasks like Time Machine, if I do not have any back up madden yet, can I recover some archives I had before a water spill repair of my Mac Book Pro?
I'll really appreciate any help you can provide
Thank you very much

You cannot recover something that was not already backed up.

Should a new Apple user buy a Macbook Pro?

I am a new Apple user who bought an ibook last August. I am not a techie and still am learning to use it but I love the way it never crashes! I am considering giving my computer to my kids (they have my old Toshiba and it is about to crater) and I am considering buying myself the new Macbook Pro (the 1.93 model). When I look at these forums, I think I may be making a mistake or getting in over my head until they have worked the kinks out with these new machines. Can anyone advise me regarding whether or not to purchase one if I am not a computer whiz?

since the macbook vanilla (or whatever they're going
to call the new ibook) is expected relatively soon, i
would suggest waiting for that. since you're not a
power user (hence you don't have a powerbook) or a
computer snob, i think the new ibook will be more
suited for your needs.
in fact, i am something of a computer snob, and i
even considered waiting for the macbook plain. i
didn't, but i considered it.
Zoe,
This will maybe happen around April 1st, if you can wait.

I am a new Apple user and had a visitor, with an iPad, at my house. I noticed the response time slowed greatly. I have a Linksys N router and wondered is I need an Apple router to allow the speed to be consistent.

I'm a new Apple user - when I deleted some large files the available space didn't increase - I emptied the trash - am i missing a step to tidy the hard drive?

Open the Finder.
From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click View > Show Status Bar
You should now see the the free space available at the bottom of any Finder window and that should change after you empty the Trash.

.Mac Alias - Small Niggling Problem for New Apple User

Hi,
I have very recently purchased my very first Apple computer - and yes, i am one of those life long MS-DOS/Windows users who have been lured by the ease and simplicity of the iPod (which apparently a lot of people are loath to admit, but hey, I'm not proud).
Anyhow, having got my nice new shiny system out of its box, and up and running, I set-up up a new .MAC account, and then set-up one alias, the thing is my 'alias' mail is not ending up in my .Mac mailbox, but my other mailbox which belongs to my broadband ISP.
Basically in Apple Mail ( I have OS X Tiger.10.4.3) I have an 'InBox' which shows everything from my two accounts, and separate mailboxes within : One called 'BlueYonder' who is my broadband ISP, and a second mailbox called '.Mac Mail'. IYSWIM?
Now ALL of the mail sent to my standard .Mac account address ends up in the .Mac mailbox, and the 'collective' InBox, but and here is the puzzle, any mail sent to my .Mac ''alias'' goes into the 'Collective' InBox and my 'BlueYonder' mailbox, but not into my .Mac mailbox!
I sent an email to the .Mac support team, and they said that it was either an issue with Apple Mailbox, and that I should look in here at the 'Discussions' or I have a Rule set-up.
Well I don't have a rule set-up except the one that was already set-up when I first bought my system. This is set to just highlight in Blue any mail from any 'Apple' address. No rules are set to move or change locations etc.
So can anyone,if possible please advise me what is going on with my mailbox and also how I can rectify it if possible please?
Thanks and all the best for the New year to you all.

Drusus - would be good for you to share your findings here. It might help anyone else with the same problem in the future.
Thanks,
Brocks.
