How do you type a letter using the Mac OS

How do you type a letter using Apple, this is my first Apple and I have only used the Windows Operating System before.

If it has a standard system installation that comes pre-installed with Macs, there should be an application called Pages installed.  That is Apple's word processor. 
You can launch it from the Dock, if its shortcut is there.  The icon looks like an inkwell with a pen. (If you have related follow-up questions, such as setting up a printer, please post back...)
These Apple references may be helpful

  • How do you link to or use the Adobe CDN after you publish your project?

    So maybe I am stupid but I really can't find any useful info on how this CDN publishing actually works...
    This is from the edge animate API adobe white papers (also right below it in the section about HTML pages I think they are missing the word header in the first sentence... kinda funny - Adobe Edge Animate CC JavaScript API)
    CDN Hosting
    Using the Adobe Content Distribution Network (CDN) is a great way to speed up Animate composition delivery. Compositions using the Adobe CDN all share a single URL for jQuery and the Edge Runtime. The browser caches the runtime, so the user only downloads the library once no matter how may Animate compositions they view, even if compositions are on different sites and produced by different authors. Don't use the CDN if your composition needs to run without an Internet connection or if you want to use your own hosting exclusively.
    The Animate Runtime CDN uses the following URL:
    <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"    src="http://animate.adobe.com/runtime/4.0.0/edge.4.0.0.min.js"></script>
    I mean this all sounds great! So how do I use it? I don't see an obvious place in this URL to replace with what would be the link to my project? I also did not get any unique identification numbers that I could put into a URL to pull the correct content. Shouldn't I be having some unique identifier? How dose it know which project is mine? Maybe I just really don't understand how this works...
    My goal is to have this nice little animation I made in edge play when someone visits the website and then fade into the homepage. Is this possible? It would be great if I could just put some script links in the header and let the adobe CDN take care of all the delivery aspects and keep my server load down rather than uploading the files myself and having to use extra bandwidth.
    Thanks so much!

    Huh? What are you talking about?
    Yes where do I get my unique script files to link to adobe CDN... But Adobe CDN dose not work that way... It just host common files... So when you check that box it automatically writes that script in your files that you need to host on your server... That last part was not clear to me that it was only certain files... Why not all the files right?
    But no instead of adding the conversation about how that feature might be cool or if you would want it too... You have some troll remark with a smug smiley face about well originally "
    To be fair, you did inquire about inserting it externally.
    " In what way? You took that part out of context... The rest says "and let the adobe CDN take care of all the delivery aspects and keep my server load down rather than uploading the files myself and having to use extra bandwidth."
    This obviously refers to me putting a link in the head of my website that links to the adobe CDN for my entire animation and not uploading any files to my server... Get a life heathrowe and stop trolling the forums...
    However if you want to grow up and would like this feature too please give it a thumbs up when I post in the feature request... I think this would be great added functionality... It would give animators the ability to build complex animations and then just give a link to the site owner to have the animation play on the site... Animators could potentially then rent or lease animations to site owners and if site owners don't pay we could just change the link bring control back to us... I think this could be huge... But maybe I am wrong...

  • How do I type diacritics when using the Hebrew phonetic keyboard?

    I have a Romanian keyboard layout and as I am currently learning Hebrew, I find it easier to remember where each letter is if I use the phonetic layout instead of the classic layout. My question is how do I use this layout to efficiently insert diacritics. I am currently using the character viewer but it's painfully slow. I tried to search for a tutorial but I can't seem to find one anywhere. Any help is highly appreciated.

    I can't help with Hebrew, but perhaps it works the same as on the English keyboard. If you type opt+e you get an accent aigu highlighted in yellow. You can then type another character that would have have that accent (a, e, o, etc). The combined letter will be formed.
    A little searching and I found [this|http://forum.redlers.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2317]. Apparently it is letter + opt-number.

  • How can you detect irregular edges using the IMAQ add on?

    Im currently trying to use the IMAQ add-on for LabView to detect the edges of an irregular image. I have attached the image I am trying to detect the edges of. I have tried using everything in the "locate edges" sub-pannel (i.e.. imaq find edge, imaq find circular edge etc.) but none of them have yielded any favorable results. I think the "IMAQ edge tool 3 IV" might be what im trying to find however I don't understand how to get any usable data out of it.
    Thank you, all comments and help are greatly appreciated.

    Hi Dander, 
    I am not sure exactly what types of edges you are trying to acquire, but I used one of the examples from our Example Finder and was able to detect edges on your image.  I will say that with the image that you are using, the edges are not very well defined, so you may not get a 100% accurate measurement.  The example that I was using uses the IMAQ Edge Tool 3 VI and the example can be found by going in LabVIEW to Help>>Find Examples...  From there, you will go to Toolkits and Modules>>Vision>>Functions>>Edge Detection Example.vi.  After that, you will remove the build path function and input a path to the image.  I hope this helps!

  • How do you navigate dialogue boxes using the tab key in Photoshop CS6 on Mac OS X Mavericks?

    I know that seems really 101 and obvious, but I worked in Photoshop on a PC for many years, and using the tab key to navigate through every field/radial button/dropdown menu/etc. was never an issue. On the Mac OS X however, it only navigates through certain fields within a dialogue box. And before the guaranteed suggestion to change my Mac OS X Keyboard preferences to allow full keyboard access to "All Controls" instead of "Text Boxes and Lists Only", I have already tried this setting which did not resolve my issue.
    Does/has anyone out there worked between both platforms and had this issue as well? I'm a Mac guy through and through, but I must say, this is the one thing that I think PC has a slight edge on. It's incredibly frustrating to have my keyboard workflow interrupted because I can't simply tab over to a certain field that is in a dialogue box which I'm currently working in...
    Here are my details:
    Photoshop CS6 (13.0.6)
    Mac OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)
    Applies to all filetypes as the issue is regarding dialogue boxes and not files themselves.
    No error message.
    Normal use.
    It works on PC, but not on Mac.
    2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 Processor
    8 GB of memory
    719 GB of space available on my main HD
    This has never worked in any version of Photoshop I have used on any version of Mac OS X, but has worked consistently on every version of Photoshop that I have used on every version of Windows I've used (up to Windows 7)
    I hope this provides enough information to get the ball rolling on this. I fear that there is no answer that will resolve the issue, but before I throw in the towel, I figured it was worth trying this forum since my web searches have turned up absolutely nothing of help.
    Thanks in advance for your time and help.
    Best,
    Tim

    Thanks for your input.  Since Safe Mac's Adware Removal tool has done a very good job of cleaning out the junk and
    letting me run better, I'm happy for now.
    However, I appreciate your judgement and I am working on evaluating Safari vs FireFox vs Chrome.  I've had some trouble using FireFox with
    LastPass which works very well under Chrome.  But that is only one data point.  Most of my Ram troub;e os related to the number of windows
    and tabs I open.  I've tried comparing the three browsers for how back each reacts.
    I multiply windows and tabs because as I surf the web, I discover things I want and don't want to lose them.  However, I need a tool more useful
    and structured than bookmarks to be able to record things of interest to make them easy to return to and find later.

  • How do you choose bands when using the Dual n band routers?

    It say to use the 2.4 for surfing and the 5 for streaming video.how do you choose?

    For your PC's that will be connecting for surfing only designate the 2.4GHZ band as the default connection on that PC. For devices, like a DirecTV HD-DVR, use a WGA600N and connect it via the 5GHZ band. As long as you have unique SSID's for each band it is simple.

  • How do you make Safari open using the homepage in Lion.

  • How do you burn a playlist using the new version  of itunes if no provision is made unlike previous versions. have thaey ( Programmers made a mistake)

    Downloaded latest version of itunes. Noticed that there is no provision to burn a playlist to CD under the file menu as in past versions. Although the help menu still references this function. Is this an oversight ?
    Also noticed that the  new  itune program which interfaces with the iphone 5 , will only play videos bought through itune store. Where previous versions would play any video, or have I got wrong??
    Any help would be appreciated .
    Thanks
    Oldsalt 94

    Someone gave me the Mac Format magazine (Jan 2013), which contained a complete guide to iTunes 11.
    One section was "Get the old look back".  It stated that it was possible to tweak the interface to get the old look back by:-
    1.  Be on Music view and select Songs tab at top of window.
    2.  Click on the View menu.  (Mine was hidden, but if you click on the dropdown arrow in the top left-hand corner the option is there to show the Menu Bar).
    3.  Click on Show Sidebar, then click on Show Status Bar.
    This should make iTunes look like the old version.
    Hope this helps others :-)
    Slightly happier Apple!

  • How Do You "Move" Items/Applications from the Mac Hard Drive?

    Hi,
    As the subject line suggests I need to "move" things from my regular Mac Hard Drive to the additional Hard Drive I installed. My normal (forgive my lack of technical talk) hard drive is almost full. I would like to move things like iTunes, iPhoto etc to my new hard drive (1TB) so that I can free up space on my current more regularly used hard drive. Is there an easy way to do this?
    Ali

    There's various approaches you can take. Personally I would try to leave applications and the system on the main drive and just move data files to another drive. Some applications really want to be run from the main drive and will become cranky if you put them elsewhere because things aren't where they expect them to be.
    Moving files is often just a matter of dragging them to the new place. Note that if this new place is another drive the files get copied and you will have to delete the originals from the original drive once you are done copying.
    Applications can have a complex structure with bits and pieces of files all over the place, some may be invisible. While these can be copied, as I said before it is often best to leave them on the main drive.
    Just for your information, you posted your software question in the Apple.com > Support > Discussions > Power Mac G5 > Power Mac G5 (tower) hardware questions area. Your computer information says you are running a Mac Pro and Snow Leopard (which won't run on a G5). It doesn't really matter in this case but if you have a platform specific question in future, for fastest response you might want to make sure it gets into the correct forum.

  • How do you connect multiple devices to the mac?

    I have a mac desktop and a laptop and two external hard drives.  I would like to connect them so that I can use the laptop and desktop simultaneously and save to either of the hard drives.  Also, would like to retrieve files off of one EXT, work on it, and save it to the other EXT.  Is that possible or am I trying to do something that can't be done?  Thank you.

    All of what you want to is very possible and done by many people every day. You connect over your network, your home or busines LAN (Local Area Network) to share files, folders, drives and connect both externals to either one Mac or one external to each Mac then when you want to save a file to the other Mac, or to an external drive connect to the other Mac, or to another drive connected to the same Mac you Broswe for that other Mac, drive, folder over the network or on the same Mac. You do all that from a Finder window or the Save As dialog box that opens when you select Save As in a program you are using.

  • HT3775 How do you play MPG videos on the Mac?

    I have a sony vidoe camer which saves videos as MPG files. These are not readable by quicktime, iPhoto or iMovie. How can I convert them to files I can use?

    Thanks QuickTimeKirk,
    . I have downloaded streamclick, but reluctant to shell out $20 unless it is really going to work. The files are MPG not MPEG and MPG is not listed in the file format supported by Streamclick, does it really work?
    I can export to DV MOV and MP4 from streamclick but non of the files is recognised b the Mac. I am running OS 10.7.4.

  • How do you install an App from the Mac Store on a second HD

    I'm getting a smaller SSD drive for my computer. I don't want all my Mac App Store programs installed on my main drive but rather some on the second drive for obvious reasons. I don't see an option or even a preference panel to do this. Am I missing something simple. How is this done?
    Thanks

    Copy the app to the other drive.

  • In Pages on Ipad, how do you enter a Tab using the screen keypad?

    Hi,
    I have an iPad2 and am using Pages, Notes and a few other apps. Pages has and supports tabs in the document, but I have yet to find a TAB key in the on-screen keypad? It works fine off the bluetooth keyboard, but I have access to that only about 20% of the time.
    Thanks for your help.
