Just got my first mac, and I think I accidentally erased chess...

Stupid me...
I'm a brand new mac user... I was trying to move the chess icon from the application folder to the dock but I released the mouse early and ended up making a shortcut on my desktop. I then dragged that chess icon from my desktop into the dock and deleted the icon from my desktop into the trash and emptied the trashcan thinking it was just a shortcut. When I tried to click the chess icon left on the dock it would not open. I tried several times and it just doesnt work. So I then deleted it from the dock thinking it would still be in the applications folder. I was wrong... Can someone please school this rookie and tell me how to get chess back... Thanks in advance for the help...

Hello c:
I am not sure if it is included on the software install DVD that came with your system. Sometimes pre-installed non-Apple software is not there. Take a look. Also, do a find on "chess" to see if it is still on your system.
I looked at my own copy and it was distributed through something called +"GNU software."+

  • I just got my first mac and can anyone tell me how to change my address book to look like an actual book?

    Just got my first Mac and cant find how to change the appearance of my address book.  Can anyone help?

    Check out the built-in Address Book Help guide on your Mac (in Address Book, choose Address Book Help from the Help menu.  I dont think you can change the way the address book looks in terms of changing its appearance to look more book like, but I could be wrong.  I checked out a few google searches and did not find anything that stated how to do what you are asking.  If you find you cant change it to your desired specifications, you can always make the suggestion to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ 

  • I just got my first Mac and downloaded Photoshop CC onto it. problem

    I just got my first Mac and downloaded Photoshop CC onto it.  I opened my first photo and tried to save.  I get a message that says  " write access in not granted "  what does that mean?  and why can't I save my images?

    How is your external drive formatted? Use Disk Utility to check the volume format. If it is NTFS, you will need to reformat the HDD as exFAT in order to retain universal compatibility (RW to it on both Mac and Windows).

    i just got a new mac. and its saying no more than 5 computers can be autherized i only know of 2 others what can i do ?

    There isn't currently a way of seeing a list of which computers are authorised, but have you had other computers in the past and/or upgraded the OS on your computers without first deauthorising them ? Individual computers can only be deauthorised directly on them, but as you have multiple computers authorised then you can log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and 'deauthorise all' (which you can do once every 12 months) and you can then authorise/reauthorise the computers that you still have and need.

    Hello Pork Chop 2,
    Congratulations on your new Mac!  It sounds like your purchased songs are not playing completely after you downloaded them.  I recommend to following steps for an issue like this:
    Symptoms
    Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
    Resolution
    If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
    Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
    Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
    Download your previously purchased song from this list.
    You can find the full article here:
    Songs in iTunes may not play back completely

  • I have just bought my first mac and have been told that i can get a free upgrade to lion but it seems that this is only an option in the us and canada, not the uk. is this true?

    i have just bought my first mac and have been told in pc world that i can get a free upgrade to lion, but it would appear that this is only for those in the u.s. and canada. is this true? also from reading the discussions it seems that lion is not a good thing. i am already regretting my decision to go to a mac.

    I have found that both Linux and Mac (unix) are capable of reading "deep" folders while win 32 will have issues, your it people are clearly wrong.  I run a network with both win/mac. And as long as the win servers/pc's that have shares are set to allow apple file sharing in their folder properties.   And the macs are set to allow smb there should absolutely no trouble with you accessing anything across the platforms, heck, from a Mac to a win pc on some occasions you don't even need to include a "domain" name to log on to, and you can create aliases and make your own shortcuts etc... So you don't have to manually connect each time you boot up etc... But that's all personal preferences I suppose.
    All I can tell you is that, I do it on a daily basis managing a small business. So your answer is yes you can.

    do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
    iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
    Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

    There are no known viruses for OS X.  If you have to worry about a website putting some malware on your computer, then you should not visit it any longer.  Find a legitimate site.

    You are only as young as you feel......
    This is an example of how you can select the exact content that you want to sync to your device. You do not have to sync the entire iTunes library. You can pick and choose the music, apps, books and so on that you want to sync. This is using music as an example.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on only the albums or playlists that you want to sync.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    You can do this with apps, books, movies .... Whatever .... You have the freedom to sync whatever you want.

  • Just got my first Mac desktop. How in the world do you make an icon?

    Just got my first Mac desktop.  Cannot figure out how to make a favored website an icon.  Seems like it should be simple, but am evidently having a brain cramp.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Drag the tiny icon for it to the left of its name in the browser's address bar to the desktop or to the right of the Dock's divider line as desired.

  • I got my first Mac and will need microsoft office to migrate from my PCmi

    I got my first Mac last night and I will need Microsoft Office to work and to migrate the docs from my old sony Vaio PC with  Windows 7, where can

    Have no idea what UnArchiver is but you can just Copy all your MS office documents over from your PC to the Mac and Office 2011 will read them no problem.
    As for other files like images (JPG) and music (MP3) both platforms read these type files without any type of conversion.
    Have Fun and a Very Merry Christmas to you.

  • I got my first mac and wonder what is the max ram capacity?

    This is my first mac and I gotten it for school for my animation and visual effects. Since they like using tutorials that uses a lot of mac commands instead of windows so I am doing this so I can easily follow along. I gotten a Apple iMac MD063L from newegg it is coming with 8gb of ram and just wonder if it can go higher like what is the max it could do? I just want to make sure it can handle programs like Maya, adobe after effects but primarily Maya and related programs. When it comes to rendering a project. 

    That partial part number relates to 3 different refurbished 27" iMacs at NewEgg. All 3 can be upgraded to 32GB of ram. Only buy ram from either OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/  or Crucial http://www.crucial.com/ and avoid the bargain basement brands sold by other vendors. They're all mid 2011 models I believe.
