Mac equivalent to PC shortcuts

Hi I've been trying to get use to the keyboard shortcuts I used to use on my PC. For word processing I could hit <ctrl> <arrow right or left> and quickly scroll to the beginning of the next work. Is there a Mac equivalent feature? I could also hit <home> and <end> to go to the beginning and end of the sentence. On the mac it goes to the top and bottom to the page instead. Is there another shortcut I could use?
Thanks

Is there a Mac equivalent of the Windows Live Mail client?

(If anyone reading isn't familiar with Windows Live Mail, please look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WindowsLiveMail to see what I mean. Please don't suggest clients like Microsoft Entourage etc as they're not what I'm looking for!)
I used to have a Windows laptop and used the Windows Live Mail client to manage my Hotmail accounts. It was brilliant as it synchronised exactly with webmail (all folders present and correct, if I deleted an email on the webmail it would delete from the programme and vice versa, etc) and did this with as many email accounts as I liked - so I could access all three from the same screen. Perfect!
When I got a Macbook I discovered that Windows Live Mail wasn't available for Mac. I spent a couple of weeks looking for a suitable alternative but never found one.
I'm aware of how to use Hotmail in a regular mail client but I've not found one exactly the same as Windows Live Mail. There's always a problem with synchronisation between the client and webmail, I can only get the inboxes imported and no other folders synchronise which is a pain as I don't always use my laptop to read my email - if I read it elsewhere using webmail and move an email from the inbox to another folder, I'd have to do a second time when I next use my laptop. Hence I don't bother and just use webmail instead - but I hate logging in and out of three accounts!
As it's been ages since I last looked, I thought I'd look again - but I still can't find anything that works the way I want.
Is there a Mac equivalent of Windows Live Mail (http://download.live.com/wlmail)? Something that works in exactly the same way? I wish Windows weren't so childish and would just release a version of this for Mac... it's pretty much the only thing I miss from my old laptop!
(Please don't suggest changing email accounts - I've asked this elsewhere and that was the only response I got!)

In few words, "No." There is no such client for the Mac. The closest you may find would be to try the Mac MSN client, aMSN - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - but it's essentially just a messenger clone. I doubt it includes a Live Mail client.
(Please don't suggest changing email accounts - I've asked this question elsewhere and that was the only response I got!)
Because there is no other response.

Whats the Mac equivalent to Disk Defrag?

Newly converted PC guy....now a Mac guy. Just got my mac yesterday. I like to keep things clean on my computers.....what is the mac equivalent to disk defrag...and how do i do it?

There is almost never a reason to defrag a Mac. Indeed, doing so can be a negative. Defrag is defrag regardless of the OS.
What you say above does not make much sense. Formatting and defraging are vastly different things. What is the exact wording of the message you refer to as "it tells me I have to reformat my drive to a particular format?"

Mac equivalent to Get Midi?

Hi,
I currently use a programme on the PC to search the web for MIDI files. It's great and one of the only reasons I still use a PC:
http://www.getmidi.co.uk/
Is there a Mac equivalent that will allow me to search and preview MIDI files on the web. I know there are lots of websites for this purpose, but I really like using an all in one application...
Thanks...

HI, Gerb. Welcome to the Discussions.
If there is, you'll find it by searching MacUpdate or Version Tracker. The user-submitted reviews accompanying the listings can be helpful in sorting the wheat from the chaff.
Good luck!

Mac equivalent to Microsoft OneNote?

I had no idea what forum to post, but here is my question...
Anyone know of a Mac equivalent to MS Office OneNote?
Taken from the Microsoft OneNote website...
"In its simplest form, OneNote is an electronic version of a paper notebook where you can write down notes, thoughts, ideas, scribbles, reminders, and all kinds of other information. Unlike the traditional document page format of other programs such as word-processing or spreadsheet programs, OneNote offers a free-form canvas where you can type, write, or draw notes in the form of text, graphics, and images wherever and however you want them."

You might check out the Devonthink Pro review at MacWorld. The article also mentions some other applications that are close to OneNote although there's really no specific replacement.

What is the mac equivalent to a right clic on a windows machine

What is the Mac equivalent to a right click? I installed Office for Mac 2011 on my macbook pro and I need to right click over a file from an ealier version of Office to make Office 2011 the default version of office. This is all in preparation to install Lion (Lion won't support Office 2004 and I can't afford to lose access to these files).

CTRL+click
CTRL=control (in between the fn and alt/option keys).
You can also go into System Preferences --> Trackpad and ensure "Secondary Click" is checked so that a two finger tap will act as a "right-click."

Is there a Mac equivalent to Windows "Print Screen"?

I couldn't help but notice that my mac keyboard doesn't have a "Prt Scn" button the way a Windows Keyboard does. I ask this because sometimes as I play UT2004, I like to get screen caps of the game itself. I no longer have a PC and I wish to continue to get screen caps of the game. Is there a mac equivalent to this? Or what else can I do?
PowerMac G5 Dual 1.8Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well there is a screen capture in the game itself, I think it's one of the "F" keys. Look in the manual.
On a Mac a full screen capture can be invoked with a Apple (Command) Shift 3. Of course you'll have to quit to see it if your in UT2004 full screen mode. I don't know where UT2004 dumps it's screen capture at. Possible both on the desktop (wallpaper) where it should go.
There is also a Command Shift 4, which will give you a cross-hairs to select a part of the screen.
Combining any of the above with Control will place it right in the clipboard for pasting in your favorite program that can display it.
Here is a master list
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75459
If you like UT2004 like I do, you know you can add a $hitload of maps and mods to what you get from the disks. I got a few hundred different maps myself.
First what you have to do is visit the UT2004 site and download the latest Mac update with Editor's Choice Bonus Pack combination.
It's kind of hard to find as it's not on some of the mirrored sites.
This is the one you want ut2004-macpatch3369-2.dmg.bz2
on this page
http://www.3dgamers.com/games/unrealtourn2k4/downloads/
Download and run this baby, you'll need the cd in at first but after that you won't need the cd anymore. You'll also get more maps and neat new vehicles.
Of after that, register on this site especially use a Mac user type name, like MacHead, just to show support in the gaming world for our platform.
http://www.unrealplayground.com/index.php
and on the left side under UT2004 is a list of maps (CTF=Carry the flag etc etc.)
find which one you like and download it. There are TONS
Now to install it. Select the original UT2004 app in Applications folder and hold control key while clicking on it. A menu will popup which you select "open package contents" (the app is really a folder!)
Now you unzip the download and place similar extension files in the respective folders. I would start off with .ut2 that goes into Maps folder.
.usx goes into StaticMeshes folder
.utx goes into Textures folder
and so on, some downloads will include a text file so you put the correct files in the correct folders. (Like System for instance) Some downloads include their files in folders with the respective destination it's supposed to go into. Just take them out and place them in liked named ones in the UT2004 folder.
UT2004 seems to place new maps/mods at the bottom of the list when you go to select them in the game itself.
UT2004 will give days and days of repeated enjoyment, unlike other games that get worn-out once you've played them through.
Also when you get a chance, learn how to clone that boot drive of yours to a external drive for safekeeping. It takes so long to start over from scratch rebuilding in case of a hard drive failure, corruption or whatnot.
Cloning has to be done with software like Carbon Copy Cloner. Once you do it, you can hold option and boot directly off of it in case something goes wrong with your primary boot drive. Repair, recover or just erase and reverse clone the whole drive back over! It really is a lifesaver.

You "Zero" a new drive by using Disk Utility, select the drive and Erase with Zero option and format HFS+. It's very highly recommended for the best reliable writes to your drive.
If you have anymore questions, stop by again.

Boot into BIOS or mac equivalent?

How do I, or what is the Mac equivalent of booting into BIOS?
That question is more for interest, I see there are other ways to achieve on Mac what I would normally do from BIOS on a non Mac machine. Thinking of power options and scheduled startups here.
Thanks
Neil

Hi Neil,
Intel-based Macs don't use BIOS, but its successor EFI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExtensibleFirmwareInterface
To my knowledge, there is no way for a Mac user to boot into the EFI, only certified Apple technicians do seem to have a tool which allows them.

MAC Remote Desktop Keyboard shortcuts

It drives me crazy when in Mac I use cmd+c cmd+v while when using Remote Connection I need use crtl+c crtl+v.
Parallels in theirs solution support both combinations in Windows.
Can you add option to Remote Connection for Mac to personalize (redirect) shrotcuts ?

Hi Rafal,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
You can try below 2 methods, if it success for you.
Method 1:
You can set universal keyboard shortcuts in System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Application Shortcuts > All Applications, you can enter menu values (Save, Copy, Paste, etc) and then assign new key combinations to
them.
Method 2:
1. On the RDC menu, click Preferences, and then click
Keyboard.
2. In the Mac column, double-click the keyboard shortcut that you want to change, and then press the combination of keys that you want to use instead.
NOTE: The new combination of keys must include one modifier key and at least one additional key, such as CONTROL + F10 .

A Mac equivalent to Microsoft's FrontPage?

I am new to Macs, and am looking for recommendations for an equivalent to Microsoft's obsolete FrontPage for constructing and maintaining a simple website (text and images). I have used FrontPage for many years, and like its simplicity since it's much like writing a Word document. I have no technical aspirations so it has to be as simple to use as possible! I also use FileZilla as the ftp.
Any help gratefully received.
Tony Williams

I have used Kompozer for a number of years and have found it satisfactory.
Best of luck.
