Just Switched To Mac's and Need Help With A Few Issues!

Hi All,
I finally did it and switched to a Mac!! Never thought it would happen as I always felt guilty about the cost but after 5 laptops crashing on me - well, I just could not take it anymore! I managed to get a fairly good deal on a 15" Macbook Pro - 2.2/120GB version. I still don't know much about the mac way but am trying to learn so any help would be appreciated!
1). Is there any kind of video tutorial (preferably free!) that I can use that will help me learn the Ma OS X? I have Tiger 10.4.11 on my MBP (Did you hear that - MY MBP!!!)
2). AOL Assured me that they fully support Mac before I purchased (only 5 times!) but after I had bought it - they then told me that they do not! I got the AOL disk for Mac but it kind of ***** - features are missing etc. Does anyone in the UK run their Mac's with AOL and does it run as per normal? Any advice with AOL & Mac?
3). AOL also told me - hey, no probs - of course you can transfer all your old emails, favourites folders, personal filing cabinet from a PC to a Mac - but then, after I bought it - the so called dedicated Mac Experts at AOL tell me that simply is not possible - What advice can anyone give me who has switched from PC to Mac with AOL and who needed to transfer all their stuff over? AOL tells you totally different things depending on who you talk to and even from what their web page state! I am really fed up with them!
4). If I am ever successful in getting all my many years worth of data from AOL on a PC to a Mac, I am really intent of changing ISP's - what are the best ones for Mac that offer good Mac support, good deals and no charges for telephone support?
5). I was initially happy with Tiger as again, AOL assured me they supported it but not Leopard (even their website says so) and as I stupidly thought that it must be true (we are talking AOL here!). Now I know that they don't support anything Mac, I am contemplating moving to Leopard - I am a little cautious as I heard there were/are many bugs and unhappy leopard experiences - have the majority of these been solved yet and is it advisable to change to Leopard or should I wait until an updated version comes out?
6). My MBP was originally bought in the US but is registered to my name in the UK. it has 6 months Apple warranty left and I wish to buy Applecare. Apple says it 'recommends' buying Applecare in the country at which the item is registered (not bought, as I understand it). Does that mean, if I buy Applecare in the USA, Apple UK will still accept it and service my MBP as they would do any other or will I have to have the hassle of sending the thing to the USA if it needs attention? Applecare USA T&C's state only for the 50 States & Canada and Applecare UK state only for the UK & EU. Both however state international servicing?! I am a bit confused on this one. I travel a lot and need to know, that any Applecare I buy will not then be limited to just the places they state in the T&C's. As It reads to me, Applecare purchased in the USA/Canada will not cover the UK/Europe/ROTW and vice versa. Is this true or am I missing something or just plain thick?
5). I really wish to upgrade the 120GB HDD. My understanding is that it must be done by either Apple (who charge really silly money) or if correct, at an "Authorized Apple Service Provider" who of course will be much cheaper. If true, does this mean at ANY authorized apple service provider on the planet or just ones in which the item is registered? If I do the upgrade with a service provider, will Apple then also service the new HDD if something goes wrong as per normal anywhere in the world or will they then say, sorry, will not service the new HDD and you have to go back to the place where you had it installed, even though it was one of their authorized service centers? (that would really suck)!
6). The spelling and dictionary (and a few other things) are set to US English - how can I set to UK English? I have tried but to no avail so far.
7) What and how should I set the Firewall settings so I will not get attacks by any form of malware? (I do not know much about this area and what the implications mean)!
Well, that's it so far - please bear my ignorance, I am so new to Mac's and hope this to be one of the smarter decisions I have made in life! Already I have strange sensation that I never had with all those years of Microsoft & PC's - I kinda feel reassured, safe, that if I have problems, they will get sorted, My life will now be easier and not having to worry so much about crashes, viruses, trojans etc, gives me a sense of liberation and contentment almost - very strange feeling but a **** good one! (if only the women in my life were like that)!
Thank You All From A PC to Mac Switcher (and NO! I do not feel guilty or scared anymore)!
SuaveBhav!

I can help you with your questions about AppleCare, and can also reassure you that both the macbook pro and Leopard will be worth your investment and the time you are putting into figuring out how to get your data across. I switched from windows when I bought my macbook a year and a half ago and would not use any other system now. The other day I completed the transition by erasing parallels and Windows from my system entirely.
As for AppleCare, you can get warranty care anywhere in the world, no matter where you buy your AppleCare. Mine was bought and is registered in the US, I live in Slovakia, and have had it serviced several times in Austria and Slovakia under the warranty without any problems at all. There are differences, however, in exactly what the warranty covers from place to place, in accordance with the law in each place that AppleCare is issued. Even though I live in the EU, my agreement with Apple is an American one, and the American guarantees hold. If EU law would demand that Apple fix more things, for instance, than American law does, I could not get those things repaired under my agreement, and vice versa.
Basically, though, I understand my agreement with AppleCare to be that they will fix all problems/damage that are not my fault free of charge for two years after my initial one-year warranty runs out, and that is good enough for me.

I've just bought an 80gb iPod and need help with music videos.....

...I've downloaded a music video which iTunes has put in my library under Music when I thought it would be under Movies. I can't move it to Movies, it won't let me. I can only transfer it to my iPod as a music file. How do get to watch it on my iPod?
Thanks
Andy

I suggest copying your entire iTunes library to your new computer, also you might want to copy the photos you want to save. Then sync your device to the new iTunes and copy over your music, documents and photos that you want.
If you are no longer going to use the old computer you should open up iTunes on the old computer and use the menu to deauthorize it. Be sure to use the same iTunes menu on your new computer to Authorize the new one.

Project Server 2013: I am using Project Server Permission Mode and need help with permission assignments?

Hi
Project Server 2013: I am using Project Server Permission Mode and need help with permission assignments?
How can I change Permissions for the individual users to see specific projects or all projects in project center and to see specific quick launch items?
For Example: if i have 4 users, A, B, C and D. what i want is:
User A can see everything and act as a project manager or Admin.
User B can view all projects in project centre but can change the schedule or resource assignment etc.
User C can only act as approver of projects and can view all projects in project centre.
User D can only view specific projects for which permissions are given.
can i have some expert help in sorting and understanding permission modes... as i was playing with project server mode permissions and can't figure out how to apply the above scenario to set of my user.
Thanks in Advance
Cheers

Hi Ajay,
Please refer to this link for detailed explanations about PS2013 security model.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc197638(v=office.15).aspx
Actually, it will take a couple of days to explain in detail the security model that is a fundamental and tricky aspect of every PS implementation. But basically, you NEVER set permissions for a single user. You have groups in which your insert users. Groups
define "what users can do". Then you associate groups to a corresponding category. Categories define "what user can see". Thus the association of a group with a category will set "what the user can do on the objects he can see". Then, for more advanced security
level, you can use the RBS that will consist in "branches" in which you'll insert users. Based on those branches, you'll customize categories to fine-tune what user can see (for projects and resources) depending on the RBS branch and level.
I'd advice you to start "playing" in a test environment with the default categories/groups that might probably cover your need.
Concerning your 4 users:
user A : add him to the "administrator" group. Be careful that you're mentionning either project manager or administrator, which are 2 groups/categories with totally different permissions level.
user B : basically can see everything and change everything? it could be in the project manager group, assuming that there are no project visibility restrictions on the category via the RBS.
user C : waht do you mean by "approver"? Workflow approvals? Then it will be the portfolio manager group. Task update or timesheet approval? Then it is another long topic: please refer in the documentation to the "status manager" and "timesheet manager"
concepts. There are not related to the security model. In a few words, the status manager is the owner of the project plan, is defined for each task and approves tasks updates. The timesheet manager is an attribute defined for each resource in its parameters
and approves resource timesheet.
user D : you have to define which permission level must be given to this user. Basically it could be a team member that will see only projects he's in the project team. Note that team member cannot interact with the project plan in another way than submitting
timesheets and/or tasks updates which must be approved.
Once more, those are large and complex subjects that require a deep dive into your business model and tons of tests in a test environment.
Hope this helps.

Just coming from Win and need Help with bootcamp/parallels+general osx stuf

Well I absolutely love my Mac. I'm just having some problems affording it financially, but when I compare this new MacBook Pro to other like computers, there's a very very small difference in the hardware, and Im usually building laptops that are similiar to this for around 2k anyways. So I'm not 100% sure if I'll keep this or not, and maybe settle for cheaper PC that's under 1.5k (because Apple charges you a 10% open box fee) and buy a mac when I'm in a better position, or just keep this and see what I can do.
But a few of the things that are making me miss a PC might push me toward a cheaper PC. And so maybe someone here can help me out before I make a decision.
First off, is there anything that's the equivalent to a disk defragmentor for OSX?
Second, is the graphics card really powerful in this Macbook 15 inch 2.4 ghz (the newest one)
Im also having a problem with this keyboard and my favorite game. Basically I need to hold down certain keys (control, alt, shift and space) in order to use skills. But for some reason when I hold down any of these buttons, it only reads it once. So I have to push it every time I'd say, want to heal myself or hit a monster... and that might not seem like a lot but if you play a game for 1 hour + (I'd usually play around 4 hours) it's going to absolutely kill my fingers and make playing the game take a lot longer.
Now I'm using parallels (the only way to play my game) and whenever I try to install a new KB, because I've found out that the way a KB is wired will determine whether or not you can spam a key or not (Like a cheap USB one wont work, but a more expensive logitech one allows you to) but it either
1) Crashes Parallels and my Win VM
or
2) It sets up whatever kb I use to be used with Mac OSX's drivers which means no matter what the KB is, ctrl alt space and shift cant be spammed.
I'm also unable to use FRAPS, a PC video capturing program used for games while running parallels. My FPS constantly dips to 0 which lags me in the game, and I can't find a good recording program thats OSX side and that works while Parallels is running (I emailed parallels about what vid they used in their demo but no response)
Now if use bootcamp, will I have nothing to worry about? Will all of the hardware act like it should act natively on a PC? As in will my nVidia graphics card act like it normally would on a PC instead of it being some kind of virtualized hardware or something like on parallels?
Thanks for the help guys... 2 weeks to decide on whether or not I keep th is laptop....

The graphics card is a higher performance GPU than the X1600 in the previous MBP models. As for "really powerful" you don't provide any basis for comparison. Visit the ATI site to find out the specifications for the model.
Well I understand that much. I just mean as far as a graphics card in general goes, is it strong enough to support a variety of games (both PC and Mac)? This is my first computer without a crappy intergrated graphics card which could barely handle games from the late 1990s.
As for keyboard shortcuts I'm not sure if you're referring a Mac or a PC game. However, this reference may help. If the game is a Mac version you'll need to contact the game's developer about any problems with how to use the game on a Mac. If you read the Parallels documentation it will explain how to generate any special keyboard characters when in Windows.
Umm it's not that. Like I first figured out this problem with all electronics in general when I was a kid playing with one of those press and speak books. What I found out was that, let's pretend there were 3 buttons. One was cow going moo, one was a cat meowing and one was a dog barking. If you held down the Cow button and pressed the Cat button, the cow would still Moo. If you held down the Cow and press the dog button, the cow would still moo. However if you pressed and held the cat button, then pressed the cow button the cat would stop meowing, and the moo would override it.
That same principle applies to keyboards from what I've seen. I know there are some keyboards where I can use the control button and the alt button at the same time, and some keyboard I can't use. I can't blame the game, because there ARE keyboards that work the way I want it to. And I'm not talking about keyboard shortcuts. Pressing Control+Alt isn't a shortcut in a game, just two different commands. Like one is jump, one is attack. In the game you can Jump and Attack with some keyboards, some keyboards only let you jump or attack.
Another example is if I put my jump key on the letter "a" and if I hold a, I jump over and over until I let go. but if I put jump to my space bar, I jump once then stop. For some reason it won't repeat keys while in a game. Same goes for other buttons, ctrl, shift, and alt.
Does that make things a little more clear?
but what I'm going to do is try my mac keyboard on a PC and see if it has the same limitations.
If Parallels is crashing either you have a faulty installation, your OS X installation is corrupted, or you have not allocated sufficient RAM for the VM. You need at least 2 GBs of installed RAM to use virtualization software and should allocate at least 384 MBs or RAM to Windows XP and 512 MBs to Vista. If you have only 1 GB of RAM installed your system won't be very stable when you try to run Parallels with Windows on 384 or 512 MBs of RAM.
I have the newest 15 inch which has gigs. And I've tried setting Parallels to both 1 and 512 (windows xp) and I worded the problem wrong. Parallels doesnt crash, parallels runs fine. What happens is Windows XP gets the blue screen of death whenever I try to install a usb device. Since I can't find a logitech keyboard that has drivers/software for a mac, I tried using a Windows one and tried installing it on my XP... and thats when I got the BSOD
Parallels uses all the native Mac hardware via the virtualization software. No special Mac drivers are required nor special Windows drivers.
If you cannot run a Windows program in Parallels it's not a problem with OS X. Complain to Parallels.
It's not that a program isn't running. It's running fine, it's just my FPS gets really low. What I'm trying to figure out is if my graphics card isn't good enough in general, or if it's not good enough to handle parallels and osx and a game with a video capture all at once.
Boot Camp runs Windows natively on the hardware just as if you were using any other dedicated Windows hardware. "Will I have nothing to worry about?" I don't know. Boot Camp provides the necessary Windows drivers for all currently produced Intel Macs. You can install Windows XP with Service Pak 2 or Vista. Read the Boot Camp documentation to find out more.
Well I meant will I have nothing to worry about as in, will my graphics card be as effective on my bootcamped win XP as it would be if it was a native XP laptop, or will it be slightly less effective since it was based for a mac intel computer... does that make sense or do I need to reword it?

Just wondering....and needing help

Hi,
just wondering, I started creating a new iWebsite from scratch, and now following things I wonder:
1. On my .Mac account, my page doesnt appear anymore as page
2. The Hit counter on my .Mac page is gone
3. The site is published directly now in the "Web" folder on my iDisk not anymore in the "iWeb" Folder
4. When trying to sync my iDisk, it doesn't sync the pages created and stored in the "Web" folder
I know, many questions, but help is really appreciated.
Thanks,
SolSat

3. The site is published directly now in the "Web" folder on my iDisk not anymore in the "iWeb" Folder
Are you sure about that? It should be in Web/Sites. iWeb 1 published in Web/Sites/iWeb.
Personally I think trying to sync iWeb between your real iDisk and a local copy just causes problems. I recommend people turn off syncing, trash the local copy, and work directly with .Mac.
Also I don't think the .Mac home page is reliable as any kind of catalog of your sites/pages and don't know of any way to fix its shortcomings.

Selling my mac mini and need help

I know this question has been asked over and over but im selling my mac mini and have a couple of questions
How do i remove my changes and default to startup settings for new onwer i do not have a DVD/CD drive
My mac was purchased in May of this year .
also will it default to mountain loin 10.8 i installed in July ?

If your mac mini came with lion, the installer should be in launchpad. There are many tutorials online on how to how make a bootable usb or dvd from this file.
1. Backup your important files.
2. Boot into the usb or dvd.
3. There will be a screen where it asks you to choose a disk, and there should be an option to open disk utility (maybe in the top taskbar)
4. Format the hard drive.
5. Install Lion.
6. When the buyer turns the mac on, they will get a screen where they get to set up their new mac
Hope this helps.

Mac Virgin! Need Help with migrating files from PC

I am currently waiting for my Mac to be shipped to me and want to be prepared to transfer all of my PC files over once it gets here. I need to know if I need a cord of some sort (USB?) to connect the PC and Mac in order to do this.
Thanks!

Hi Winnie7779,
If you purchased the MBP from Apple, you can take it and your PC to your local Apple Store, and they will transfer the files for you. If this is not an option, you should probably pick up a copy of Switching to the Mac The Missing Manual (http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596514129/index.html). This book was in invaluable resource for my switch earlier this year. It will answer many of your questions, and give you an offline resource to browse. As for your design files, if the program you used on Windows has a Mac version, the file shouldn't need any conversion, and will just open in the native program. In the case where there is no native program, the Mac version may have its own importing option. If there is no comparable Mac program, there is not much you can do on the Mac side. Fortunately, all recent Macs can run Windows, using a program like Parallels Desktop for Mac (http://www.parallels.com) or VMWare Fusion (http://www.vmware.com/products/fusion/). These programs allow you run Windows in a window on the Mac Desktop, and then you could run your WIndows programs directly and use the files that way. Another and cheaper alternative is to use Boot Camp, which is included with Leopard, this will allow you to reboot and turn your Mac into a fully featured Windows PC. Good luck!

Going to Australia and need help with Power converters

Facts:
US uses 110v on 60hz
Australia 220v on 50hz
Making sure I understood that correctly. Devices I plan on bringing that will use power are PS3 Slim, MacBook Pro 2008 model, and WD 1TB External HDD. My DS, and Cell are charging via USB to save trouble of other cables.
Ideas I've had or thought of:
1. Get a power converter for a US Powerstrip, and then plug in my US items into the strip and then the strip into an AUS Converter into Australian outlet. Not sure if this fixes the voltage/frequency change.
2. Get power converters for all my devices. But, not sure if my devices needs ways of lowering the voltage/increasing frequency or something to help with the adjustment.
3. Buy a universal powerstrip, which is extremely costly and I wouldn't be able to have here in time (I leave Thursday). Unless Best Buy carrys one.

Check the specs on input voltage/frequency of your power supplies.
Many laptop power supplies are "universal/global" and are specced something like 80-265 volts AC 50/60 Hz, but not all. These will just need a connector adapter.
Unsure about the PS3 Slim - if it isn't universal it could be difficult as you'll need a 110/220 transformer, one big enough (power-handling wise) for the PS3 will be very bulky.
For the external WD HDD, if it doesn't have a universal supply, you're probably best off just finding a new wallwart for it that is capable of running on 220/50.
*disclaimer* I am not now, nor have I ever been, an employee of Best Buy, Geek Squad, nor of any of their affiliate, parent, or subsidiary companies.

I'm a Noob, and need help solving a backup issue.

I previously had an Alienware PC with a 1TB harddrive. I backed up to the cloud using Carbonite.
I decided to get a new laptop and got a MacBook Pro with Retina. It only has 128GB harddrive. My plan was to use a 2TB external harddrive and back up both using Carbonite. Well, turns out Carbonite only does external harddrive backup with PC's not Macs. So, I need help.
I have way more files than can fit on my laptop that need to be accessed and backed up on a regular basis, so it would seem time machine isn't the solution.
What do you do? or would you recommend? What is the best way for someone like me who wants continual access to and backup of a large amount of data? Are there any good cloud based solutions you would recommend?
I appreciate your help!

New to Dreamweaver and need help with fomatting font

Hi, I am new to dreamweaver and have been playing with it for a few weeks. I have Dreamweaver CS5.5 and I am making some detailed html templates for my ebay listings. I have created my tables, graphics, and colors but I am having trouble with my font formatting. Everything is looking really good, but there are a few sentences and even just a few phrases that I want to underline but when I add a text decloration and underline, it just underlines the whole area of sentenses not the specific one that I highlited. I know how to create a h1, h2, h3 etc code and add underline to it, but I don't want to have to format a h1 or h2 tag everything I want to format a little line. The reason I have been doing this is because It really is one of the only ways I have been able to figure out how to underline something. I watched some tutorials which is how I learned this. I figured out in the properties Panel on bottom of page to click on the CSS rule to create certain codes and such, but I am not sure how to do this. I tried one thing which was where it says target rule, I clicked new CSS Rule and then in then in the CSS Styles Panel on right side of screen I selected add property which I was then able to do a text decloration and underline, but it underlines many more sentenses than I am wanting or have selected. Please help so I am able to specifically choose how to underline just a word or two, and even to have just a word or two specifiaclly be a certain font, size or color. I am able to find ways to make this work on words as a whole, but not individual words or phrases.
Thanks for any help its really appreciated!

Bear in mind that an underlined word or phrase on the web means a clickable link to most people.
So, if you want to draw attention to something on screen, use anything (font size, color etc) except for an underline.
text-decoration: underline; is only used in CSS for styling clickable links. Not for regular text.
One option is to use the HTML tag combined with CSS.
CSS
.important {
font-size: 14px;
color: red;
This sentence contains a really important word

I am Creating a Kickstarter fund raising campaign video and need help with how to do it?

I need help in putting together a 2-3 minute video for my Kickstarter fund raising campaign titled 1 YEAR, 10,000 PIECES, 1 ARTIST Live Streaming 24/7. I only have images and voice to work with no video camera and I need as simple iMovie tutorial as possible since I have a brain injury disability, which means it takes me about 4 times longer then a person with an un-injured brain to put together something like this.
Thanks for the help!
