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.

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 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/

Just bought my first Mac. How/where do I find the preinstalled office

Just bought a my first Mac. Where can I find preinstalled Office?

Hi there,
Microsoft Office does not come preinstalled standard on your new mac. You may certainly purchase it or even iWork, which is the Apple version and is significantly more affordable, and available from the Mac App Store.
Welcome to Apple
Cheers.

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."+

This is the stupidest question anyone has ever asked I'm sure. But how in the world do you turn the music off? If I just turn the sound off, then it doesn't want to work in other apps either and the music just goes on and on.

I have the dumbest question. Is there an off button just for the music? I can't get my music to stop playing. When I turn the sound off, the music goes on and on and the sound won't work on other apps. Am I doing something worng? Haven't had this thing very long.

Just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - where is the downloads folder in the Window tab that is at the top of the page in Safari? I used this a lot and really miss it!

I just got a new Mac Mini with Lion - the Window tab at the top of the Safari Browser used to ahve a downloads folder in it along with Activity etc - but it is not there anymore. Any way to get it back or is there another location it sits in? I used it when I'd copy video info from the activity folder and then paste into the download folder and presto - I downloaded the video onto my computer. I really miss this capability!

Download activity is found by clicking on the gadget on the right:

Just got my first iPhone, an iPhone5. I added the contacts via my Mac, but the phone on its own added my 5000 Facebook friends as contacts and won't let me delete them. How can I delete them? Thanks.

I just got my first cell phone, an iPhone5. I added my contacts via my Mac. But the phone on its own imported the contact info of all 5000 of my Facebook "friends." When I go to one of them, hit edit, and try to delete them, the phone tells me that I cannot delete a Facebook friend. This is a nightmare. Please, I beg you, tell me how I can get these Facebook friends off of my contacts list. Thank you!
