Hi, I've used PC's all my life and thinking about the switch
ok im probably going to ask some stupid questions, but i really dont know much about mac powerbooks.
first off the click key (right below the trackpad) there is only one clicker, in PC's there is 2. How would i click to print or view the photo bigger and all of that stuff you can do when you right click on a pc?
also above the Powerbook 12" screen on the left and right, there are those bumps that arent on the 15" and 17", are those bumps like cylinder shaped (round, but flat on the top) or is it like a half sphere (just round all over and curved.)
Also, i plan on buying a Powerbook for college, which would you recommend, the 12" or 15", is the 12" a big enough screen or is it something you have to squint your eyes to see.
One last thing, does SAFARI block internet sites just randomly or can it go and do everything that Internet Explorer can?
Thanks in advance for answering any of these.
Going to be a first time Mac buy, just want to learn more about them.
there's no such thing as stupid questions here...I just switched from a life of Windows last month, so I can offer an opinion from a new set of Mac eyes...I am very very very please with the switch...I love the mouse setup...the one button mouse seems so much more intuitive to me...I catch myself ctrl+clicking at school all the time...I have the 12 inch powerbook...for school I would recommend the 12 inch just because it will not hog as much desk space as a 15 or 17 inch model...Internet Explorer can do stuff?? I thought IE was good for...nothing?? I haven't used IE inn about two years...but Safari is far better than IE, although personally I use Camino (Mozilla)...but please don't be scared...I was a little confused with the Mac interface and working about for the first hour...but after that it became so much easier...The Mac OS is so much easier to use, especially with Tiger and spotlight...man spotlight is incredible...it's incredible...just like everything else in the world of Macintosh...please do yourself a favor and BUY BUY BUY!!! My wife got her mac at the same time as me and she said she felt liked she'd been 'Saved' as in religious terminology...it's that good.....

I just backed up my 3gs iphone using itunes. All my photos and contacts have disappeared from my phone. I am unable to locate them on my computer. HELP!!!
OK, I understand. Try this ... it's much safer. It will simply restore your backup, but not do anything to your iOS:
While your iPhone is plugged in to iTunes, right click on the iPhone icon on the left side of the iTunes display.
Choose "Restore from backup ..." from the pop-up menu that appears.
Again, what this will do is place that backup back on your iPhone without changing iOS. So you should be very confident in the backup contents before doing this. -

Why is my icloud using up all my data and how do i switch it off
why is my icloud using up all my data and how do i switch it off
This is not just an annoying bug, it's costing it's users real money. I have 4 phones on my plan, and i got hit for $10 before I realized what was going on. 2 of my phones are affected, and I had to turn the data off on them half way through the month. I turned data back on, and boom, excess data usage right out of the gate! Apple better fix this BS soon. Also, I demand reperations! For once, I'd like apple to put out an update that didn't make my phone worse than it was before.

I'm now using iPhoto '11 (9.3.2), and none of the photos in my library will enlarge. I can view them all as thumbprints, but when I click to enlarge just a black, blank space shows up. Occasionally, one will enlarge for a second, then disappear. Help!
Just to clarify, I am not getting an "!" mark in a triangle, as I read others have experienced. The screen is just blank except the grey flag in lefthand corner to flag the photo.

I have 3 computers...Window PC, PowerBook G3 (old) and MacBook Pro. I use firefox for all of them and have for quite some time. Is there a way for them all to use the same toolbar? Each of them have differnet bookmark/ settings etc.,
Open Media Encoder and add your Sequences:
File > Add Premiere Pro Sequence
Navigate to your Premiere Project and select it in the list.
You can then select multiple Sequences from the Project (Ctrl+Click)
and load them all at once into Media Encoder and apply
the same encoding preset to all Sequences at the same time. -
I just bought a new macbook air. Now i want to sync my iphone to this computer. I copied all my songs and apps to the itunes. If I sync do i loose all my contacts and notes? because i could not copy it to itunes
You need to use the backup of your PC to transfer all the music files to iTunes on the Mac.
If you have no backup then you have a difficult task ahead of you as iTunes will only allow you to sync purchased music from the iPhone back into iTunes. Any music you loaded into iTunes yourself will not transfer from the iPhone to iTunes, this is to prevent stealing of music. To sync iTunes purchased music from the iPhone to iTunes, connect the iPhone and open iTunes, but when asked do NOT sync the device. then right click on the iPhone in the iTunes source list and select the 'Transfer Purchases' option, you will also find this commend in the File menu.
If you are in the US, you can use the new iTunes in the Could feature to redownload your iTunes purchased music / apps / books for free.
If you want to transfer all the content from your iPhone to you Mac then you will need to use Google to find a 3rd party piece of software that will do this for you. -
hi , i want to see all my photos and other throo the icloud in the computer how i can do it ?
Well, the obvious advice is to restore your mac's backup to the new drive - I assume you've been using Time Machine.
If you haven't been backing up the mac, then ...
For photos, sync the iphone to the mac vis iTunes/USB and get the photos back into iPhone on the mac. Getting back the itunes is another problem. You can look for mac apps that read an iOS device and copy songs to the mac. But that won't get back all the other information that iTunes used to have. Again, only a backup would restore all that data. As for purchased items from the iTunes store, use the mac and connect to the store via itunes and check the purchased tab or link. There you can redownload all purchased music and other items. -
Cannot use icloud tab option on ipad and iphone as the open tabs are not listed.
cannot use icloud tab option on ipad and iphone as the open tabs are not listed.
just checked everything through and this is deffinately the public beta of iCloud as it simlily doesnt come up in the settings of ipad or iphone. However the current firmware i am using isnt an itunes download, as i have downgraded and all itunes synced apps onto both the iPad and iphone crash when i open them, is this because i have downloaded the firmware from a third party? i have treble checked that the firmware is NOT hacked and is just a host's official apple firmware, so i cannot understand why this problem is occuring?

Do you have a backup of your iPhone which contains these messages?
If so, you can restore a new iPhone from that backup during setup.
If not, the messages are gone. -
I want to use a video projector with powerpoint can I use my mac to drive it- and what about sound?
Hi Scott,
You should be able to. If the projector has a speaker with acceptable sound, that's one option, otherwise powered speakers or a surround system.
What connections does the projector have?
Exactly which MBP do you have? -
An hour ago, I accidentally deleted a Bookmarks folder, and all of subfolders and hyperlinks. The lost items are not in "Trash." Are they still retrievable? JAW
They don't go into the Trash. Unless you have a backup prior to the deletion time it's gone.

It is an eMac. I have a corrupted font book. How can I fix/re-install/or download a new font book app? Most fonts that were in it work, some do not, but I cannot open it nor can I install fonts into it. This happened after the eMac OS was upgraded from 10.3.9 to 10.4.11 and AI was upgraded to CS2
