Is there a training class or book that will help me with my mac?

Could someone recommend a book or training class for the MacBook Pro? This Grandma needs simple instructions on how to convert from a Dell to a Mac! Thanks!

Welcome to the forums and to Macs in general.  One of the best sources for help is here on the forums.  Look through and find the different ones that may help you and ask away.  Most of the people on here are very knowledgable and helpful.  The Apple: Find out how link is also a great source.  You can also call Apple and ask for help from them on the phone.  That is included with you warranty for 90 days.  If you buy Apple Care it extends your warranty and phone help to 3 years.  I have always bought AppleCare and it has more than paid for itself over the years.

  • Recos for SAP Training Classes or Books

    Hi,
    I work in the BI area and I want to become more knowledgeable about the Portal.  I recently attended the BI/Portal conference and learned some new terms (ie, consumer portal, producer portal).  I have minimal knowledge about Portals.  I want to learn more about the Portal so I understand how BI reports run in the Portal so that I can create more advanced Portal pages that include BI reports plus data from other data sources.
    Can anyone recommend some SAP Portal classes that I should take or any books that would help me gain a better understanding of portals?
    Thanks.

    The "right click" is a function of the OS and those keyboard commands do not work on the iPad at all with the built in virtual keyboard. I don't use an external keyboard - so I cannot attest to the possibility of that working - but there are no keyboard shortcuts with the iPad keyboard.

    Hi, actually there is, but you have to inquire according to Apple.com/za website. Here is the statement:
    Student Discounts
    Students, staff and academic institutions are eligible for ongoing discounts on Apple products and solutions. Call 011 535 9080 for further information.

  • Is there any enterprise class PHP framework that works with Oracle ?

    Hi everyone,
    I am investigating the possibility of using some kind of PHP framework that will help develop enterprise class web applications. -- something similar to Oracle's ADF for Java --
    I have spend the last two weeks working with symfony which appears to be very attractive but does now work with Oracle. (Well at least I haven't been able to make it work).
    So my question is what are you people using? I mean you can't go around witting PHP scripts that display HTML tables with embedded echo's in them, each time you want to display the results of a query...
    Thanks in advance
    Thanassis

    There is Cake, but I have no experience. I wrote an article about Symfony, after I was tasked with maintaining a PHP application written with Symfony. A colleague has left the company and the application was given to me. Since then, I have left the company, so I am no longer in such close contact to PHP frameworks. The information about Cake can be found at http://cakephp.org. I have no experience whatsoever with it.

  • I have a mac Book that will not open DVD's of Business Presentations.  I had my hard drive taken in to the Mac Store and had a new hard drive installed.  Since then I cannot open DVD's.  What is the application that I need, and the process. Tks

    I have a mac book that will not open up DVD's recorded with a presentation.  I install the disc in a HP / windows 7 and it works fine.  I had my hard drive replaced and since then I cannot open up DVD's.  Was there a application that did not get installed?  And if so what is the process.

    You need DVD Player. It should be in your Applications folder. If it is in there go to System Preferences>CDs & DVDs and for "When you insert a video DVD" make sure DVD Player is selected.

  • Why can't I minimize more than 2 notepads in FF? I used to be able to minimize as many notepads as I wanted. FF must have done an update & now I can't do that anymore. Is there a setting I can change that will enable me to do that?

    # Question
    Why can't I minimize more than 2 notepads in FF? I used to be able to minimize as many notepads as I wanted. When I do research on a topic I keep many notepads open until I am finished. FF must have done an update & now I can't do that anymore. Is there a setting I can change that will enable me to do that again?
    Also at that time, the length of sentence I am typing changed.
    It doesn't seem to have any limit to how far it can extend to the right.
    Please help. I am not very techy & don't understand Computerese.
    Please explain in everyday English.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Prabhuti,
    Thank you so much for all your suggestions & helpful links to get help. I am not very computer literate. I have taken many classes over the years I've had a computer but I am still only a beginner.
    I want to tell you that I found a solution to my problem. I finally realized that maybe FF was not the problem but Wind. 7 on my new comp. I went on the 7 Forums & found another person who had the same problem & the answer was simple all I had to do was to right click on the Notepad icon & it would bring up a new Notepad & I could open & minimize as many as I want. I had moved the Notepad icon to my taskbar from the Start menu when I got my new computer.
    I have one more question for you. The notepad 2 program was mentioned there along with several others. I think it was about that prog. that someone said that it could open many notepads & when you closed the comp. the notepads would not disappear. Do you know if it was that program? Also is it possible to use that program the same way as I used the original Notepad? There are so many technical options on that program that I didn't understand. All I want to do is open the Notepad & copy & paste my notes in it & minimize them. Not losing them if I shut down the comp. would be real benefit to me. I believe that is the same prog. you recommended to me. Since you seem to understand tech things I thought maybe you could tell me if that is possible?
    Thank you so much for all your help.

  • My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install.  Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

    My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install.  Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

    I get the impression that most of the users on older hardware experiences similar temperature issues on Lion for a long time now. Awaiting for confirmation from the original poster.
    In the meantime I'm just cautious with regards to pushing the machine to such extreme temps, since something tells me such behaviour which includes monitor flickering and the likes is nothing but abnormal for any type of use...
    Any clues if 10.7.5 does anything on this? If not I'm afraid i see myself going back to SL for good...

  • Is there an app for the ipad that will allow you to access your mac.

    Is there an app for the ipad that will allow you to access your mac via wifi or cell network.

    Yep, two of the most popular apps are "LogMeIn Ignition" and "iTeleport." Check them out, they'll both set you back by about 30$ though.

  • I use an email client that notify's you when a new email arrives in your inbox. On IE a window pop's up to let you know whith a chime. In Firefox the window opens but with no chime. Is there an extention or add on that will do this?

    I use an email client that notify's you when a new email arrives in your inbox. On IE a window pop's up with a chime that lets you know of new mail in your inbox. In Firefox the window pops up but with no sound. Is there an add on or extention that will do this?
    == User Agent ==
    Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; NISSC; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; InfoPath.1)

    Is the notifier part of the email program? Is it an independent program like poptray? If it is separate from Firefox, it really shouldn't matter which browser you are using. Unless the notification is within IE.

    There is no mobile data connection required to use GPS on land or sea. Once again your issue is the availability of downloadable maps/charts for the areas you will be traveling.
    Sorry, but you can't install an app like NAVIGON on an iPad without 3G cellular data connection:
    copied from NAVIGON app:
    ...can be installed on any iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPhone4S, iPhone5 or iPad device (the navigation function is only available on the iPad WiFi+3G)
    Can I navigate with my mobile phone?
    Answer:In principle yes. For mobile phones there are both Onboardnavigation solutions and Offboardnavigation solutions.
    The following requirements must be fulfilled:
    •     The software must support the mobile phone. NAVIGON software
          always comes with a compatibility list. The software is guaranteed
          to work only for the mobile phones on this list.
    •     The mobile phone must have a GPS receiver. Many new mobile
           phones come with a built-in GPS receiver. Otherwise you can use
           an external GPS receiver which is connected to the mobile phone
           by cable or Bluetooth.
    •     It should be noted that an offboard solution incurs costs for using
          the mobile phone network to communicate with the provider's server.
