New Mac User - Any TL tips?

Hello,
I have experience with TopLink, I just bought a macbookpro, OSx 10.5.7
Any helpful hints to running the MW?
when I run the workbench.sh script I get an error:

move client is to move a floating client in a specific direction.
You can use the swap-client-* options to swap one frame with another.
You can also use detach-client, switch to target frame, attach-client. This is probably the "preferred" method.
2) Can I save a frame layout so I have it, "empty," next time I start wmi?
Not that I know of. Not like ion... but I find I got used to and preferred having my own dynamic layouts in wmi.
wmii has the concept of 'layouts' so you can arrage a certain number of windows in a specific way, this is sort of like your empty frames plan. Its really really cool, problem is the resizing with tiled layouts.
3) How to move a client to another workspace?
detach-client switch workspace attach-client
(alt-d and alt-a are the defaults for deatching and attaching)
4) How to set a background image?
I use qiv -z in my theme.conf for the rootcmd or whatever it is... you can use esetroot, bsetroot, etc as well.
The FAQ on the wmi homepage seems to be about wmii only ... or I am blind.
check the wmi menu.... Documentation, frequently asked questions:

    See if this helps...
    Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.
    Keychain Access asks for keychain "login" after changing login password...

  • New Mac user - No audio with Flash cartoons

    I'm using the Digi002R for my audio interface, which works fine. CD's play fine. Internet audio/video work fine. I just can't hear the audio on any Flash cartoons. Please help the new Mac user. I need my homestarrunner.com. Thank you,
    James P.

    Don't know what the problem is, the Digi002R utilizes a Firewire and most likely some sort of software which is incompatible with Flash.
    Seems to work fine with my Toslink though.

  • Stacks and other simple issues..... for new Mac user

    My first computer was a commodore 64 with DOS commands and I've been a PC user ever since. You guessed it, Friday I went to the Apple store and bought an iMac! I was up and using it in minutes so I am impressed. However there are a million little things I just can't figure out or that take hours, for example at the Apple store the docking bar when you ran your mouse over the icons they jumped up. Well after a few hours I figured out how to make mine do that! (so cool).
    At the store they showed me "stacks" where i put my mouse on something and I could see, pix or documents or e-mail I had somehow saved there, very handy but if my Mac can do that I sure don't see how.
    Here are my two questions:
    1) how do i make stacks work (is it some program i don't have?)
    2) is there a web site or book or something with all the easy stuff (tips and tricks) in it a brand new Mac user should know? (i hate to keep bothering you all with simple questions)
    Thanks, Susa

    Welcome to Mac.
    1) Just drag any folder to the right hand side of the dotted line (the Trash side) of Dock. Then click. Or click and hold on the stack and choose how your stack displays.
    2) take a look at Mac 101 and Switch 101. There's a wealth of info there.

  • I am a new mac user and have a 15 macbook pro (non retina display).  I am having an issue with safari "freezing" ...it will work fine for a while and then I will open a new tab and attempt a website that won't load and after that it seems no website will.

    So yes like mentioned above...i am a new mac user...have only had it about four days and have had a windows based system always before this.  The issue I am having is that I will be in safari and it will work perfect for a while and then i will open a new tab and attempt another website and it will either be extremely slow or will give the error that it cannot connect to the server, however, when i run diagnostics my internet is fine.  The only solution i have found is to reboot and geeksquad has been unable to replicate the problem while connected to my computer to try to do so.  Does anyone have any suggestions or anyone else with this problem?  If you have a "fix" please try layman's terms because again I have no idea about macs haha.  Thanks,

  • Brand new Mac user with a brand new Mac problem!

    Hi Everyone --
    I am a brand new Mac user... I've only had my MacBook Pro 13" for three days. My Mac has been continuously freezing while I use it. When it freezes I only have safari running so I know its not from application "overload". Once frozen, I cannot move the mouse, "esc" or use any commands. Essentially my only option is to force it to shut down by holding the power buttong down. Please let me know if anyone has any idea how to fix this! With school coming up I cannot afford for my computer to be freezing every 20 minutes!
    Thanks in advance.

    Well... I'd still take it back - let them know that you received it as a gift three days ago. They may still replace it for you or they may take it in for repair. Just be nice and explain that you don't expect a new MBP to function as it is (or malfunction) and let them, at least, run diagnostics on it. As it's so new, there may be something simple that they can fix as you wait. Did your boyfriend already register the machine with Apple or did you? They may take the registration date into account...
    But I'd take it to the Apple Store, regardless...

  • New mac user needs help with default display

    hi, i am a new mac user and i accidentally changed the default display. I want to change it back to the default display but it doesnt seem like any of the options in "system preferences" - "display" change it back to the default out of the box display. please point me in the right direction. thank you!

    im talking about the screen resolution. I went under "system preferences" then clicked on "display" and somehow the mouse clicked on another resolution which stretched everything out. so I went threw all of the difference resolutions and nothing seems to be like the default one. am i missing something? thanks

  • I'm a new mac user. My photos transferred over from PC w/Adobe Elements to Imac with IPhoto and they're a complete disorganized mess!!!!! HELP!

    I'm a new mac user. I just had my 8,000  photos that I managed on my old PC using Elements transferred to new Mac. Now half my photos are completely disorganized and jumbled together out of order in one big Iphoto album, when they used to be arranged in folders by date. I could see this taking hours and hours of reviewing and organizing, picture by picture.
    What is the most expedient solution to this problem? I'm open to using Iphoto, Aperture, and perhaps even Lightroom to organize my pics but would like to avoid Elements since I read new organizers stink.
    P.S.  I would love a 'Sort' function by date to keep them in order, (much more useful to me than categorizing by faces and places), however I can't seem to find a program that offers this, which makes no sense to me.
    Thanks,
    Angela

    View Menu -> Sort Photos -> By Date?
    If you want to duplicate your Folder Tree in iPhoto:
    Start at the bottom of the hierarchy and drag a folder of images to the Album Heading in iPhoto. The pics will be imported and an Album of the same name created.
    You can then create the Enclosing Folders in the iPhoto Window (File -> New Folder) and drag the Album to it. Folders can contain other Folders (Nested Folders) and Albums.
    However, is your folder system date based? Then this form of organisation is a bit pointless in iPhoto when Smart Albums or the Calendar tool (Click on the wee magnifying glass in the Search Box) mean you can find the photos taken on any day, month or year at a click. With Smart Albums it's easy to find photos from specific range - say, June 3 to August 25, 2009 etc.
    If your folder system is theme based - Xmas pics, Birthday pics etc, then you'll find Keywords are much more flexible, and can be used in conjunction with other criteria for making Smart Albums and searches.

  • HELP!~  new mac user with MAJOR external hard drive/iTunes problems

    Hi everyone,
    I hope you can help me out. I just got my new Powerbook Pro 2.0. It is really nice, but I am having a **** of a time with iTunes. I had an old Sony Viao and my friend turned me on to mac. So here I am, new computer and new 80G iPod. I have 120G of music on my external hard drive that played music right from the HD on my Vaio with no problems (until I upgraded to iT7.0, then the music ran choppy, but thats another issue). No, thinking that the Mac and iTunes will work perfectly together, I plugged in my External HD, turned on all the equipment, the mac finds the HD and I can see the music. Good. So, I change the location on the preferences to find the music on the ExHD and nothing. Then, I read all the forums and all and try EVERYTHING, moving the .xml file to the dektop, restarting iTunes, changing the location again, NOTHING works. I am about as frustrated as I can be. With over 26,000 songs that I cannot listen to.... I am about to regret this discision to get the mac. Any ideas? I also tried copy the files in the iTunes folder on the mac to the folder on the ExHD, but i don't know how on mac (there is no copy and paste command when you right click the mouse). I know my frustration is because I am new and dont know all the tricks yet.
    I wish I could just call my buddy, but I am in Afghansitan fighting the taliban and he is in Hawaii. Any help is GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks

    Select your ext HD and do a key board command - CMD+I (Get Info - File Menu). Under the Ownership & Permissions tab - do you have read and write access? If not give yourself that access. You may be prompted for your admin password.
    If your ext HD is the same one you used with the Vaio then I am thinking your ext HD is formated as a FAT32 and not a NTFS. Mac can read NTFS but not write to a NTFS format disk. If it is FAT32 then Mac can read and write. If it is a HFS+ format (Mac format) then there is no issue of read and write unless the disk is locked.
    To copy files from one HD to anorther on a Mac - all you need to do is select and drag to the new location.
    Check the Help Menu's of iTunes and the Finder. There is wealth of info built into your Mac OSX.
