New user of Yoga pro 3 : trackpad gestures and win 10

Dear all,  I just got my Yoga pro 3 and coming from a Mac, I am a bit lost (I use Win 7 at work). One thing that I miss the most is the track pad, although the Yoga's seems to be quite good. However, I thought there would be 2-3 finger gestures, and apart from 2-fingers scroll, which is fine, I haven't found anything. Do I need to install something? The thing I really need is a 2-finger Right click, as in a Mac (I am so used to it!)...the rest I can live without.
FInally, I was thinking about upgrading to Win 10: do you recommend it? Is it worth it? Also, how to do it? I thought I would get a "Get Windows 10" icon (my wife does in her 4 years old laptop) but I do not.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks !  Indeed it works but I must press really hard! I was more thinking of something like the 1-finger press but I guess I wil make do with it...

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    1. How to determine the model & OS?
    Go to Apple menu -> About This Mac -> More Info and look at the System info.
    It will tell you the model ID#, and serial number.
    The serial number has only three important characters, labelled A,B,C below:
    xxABCxxxx
    These are the last digit of the year, and the week of the year it was built.
    Model ID# guide is here:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/by_capability/mac-specs-by-machine-model-machine -id.html
    2. No sound - when i click 'system preferences' and go to sound, it shows 'selected device has no output control'
    Sometimes this can be fixed one of three methods:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300832
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    If none of the above works, you may have a hardware malfunction in your sound port. Note, if you have something connected to your audio port, it only play out through one output at a time. It does support stereo and 5.1 audio with the appropriate cables.
    3. How can i maximize the screen?
    This can mean two things:
    - You want to maximize the real estate where all the windows belong. This is done by increasing the resolution on Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Displays.
    - If you mean just enlarge windows, use the green button in the upper left to resize the window so it fits on the screen. Then the bottom right hand corner is used to resize the widnow in question.
    4. Is there any commands for 'cut & paste'?
    Edit menu has those commands. To the right of any command where a cloverleaf icon is represented, the Command key or Apple logo key is used in conjunction with the said key to issue the command.
    5. I don't see any CD drive....how does this work?
    The CD drive is normally below the wristpad on the right side. It is slot loading like that found in some automobile CD players. It supports DVD and CD burning and playback, be careful about the media used:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2446?viewlocale=en_US
    6. Any commands to drag, without a mouse?
    Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> Trackpad let you control how you tap two fingers on the trackpad simultaneously to drag.
    7. Is there any website where i can get a free tutorial?
    Select the Happy face on the translucent toolbar. You now will have a menu called Finder at the top of the screen. Use the Help menu to search topics.
    Or post to the relevant OS page, and someone will gladly help you on this board.

  • How can i change when i start the mac book pro, between mac and win?

    when i start the mac book pro, between mac and win?

    If you want to set which OS your system boots into (provided Windows is installed using BootCamp and not a virtualization option such as Parallels, Fusion, or VirtualBox), just hold the "Option" key down when you turn your computer on.  Continue to hold the key down until you see the options for booting into the OS of your choice.  Just click on the arrow under the one you wish (tap to click won't work here if you have it enabled... you'll need to physically click the trackpad).  If you want to change which OS your system normally boots into, just go into System Preferences in OS X and select "Starup Disk".  Whichever OS you select here will be the OS your system will automatically boot into.

  • Create new User in Macbook Pro

    I have problem with my MS PowerPoint where I can't save the PowerPoint created in PDF files. When I tried saving as PDF file, The message " Microsoft PowerPoint has encounter a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience"
    Although MS technical has suggested a few solutions and it never work. One of the suggestion was to create a new user in the Macbook Pro and try to use the PowerPoint under the new user which I tried the problem remains. When creating a new user, all the file sin the old user login cannot be access via the new user, Can some help or give some tips on how to transfer the file from the old user to new user.

    Copy all the data files into /Users/Share as the old user then log in as the new user and copy the files from /Users/Share to the home folder.

  • New "user" created at every login - settings and files lost

    Hi there,
    I've recently replaced a faulty hard disk, re-installed all applications and restored files from backup. I'm using OS X 10.4.11 and an iBook G4.
    Ever since, every time I login, the computer creates a new user and hence my settings and files are not available.
    My user is called e.g."Jack & Jill", but it creates a new user called "iBook" and moves my "Jack & Jill" user to Macintosh HD > Users.
    I can access everything by finding the old "Jack & Jill" user, but it stuffs up using applications because all the settings are under the Library for "Jack & Jill".
    I have tried copying all the files and settings to the "iBook" user, but when I login next time it creates a new "iBook" user, and re-names the previous one "iBook 1" and moves it to the Macintosh HD > Users directory.
    Upshot is every time I login, it's a major hassle to find all my files and get all the settings right.
    Has anyone heard of this problem before and can recommend a solution?
    Cheers,
    Tertullian

    Hi Tertullian, I've seen this, it usually happens when a users name is renamed, whether you did it or it was a spontaneous event...
    Return to default desktop, apparent "loss" of home directory, (it can happen spontaneously too)...

    For basic cloning:
    select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('USER', '...') FROM DUAL;
    SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_GRANTED_DDL('ROLE_GRANT','...') FROM DUAL;
    SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_GRANTED_DDL('SYSTEM_GRANT','...') FROM DUAL;
    SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_GRANTED_DDL('OBJECT_GRANT','...') FROM DUAL;
    SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_granted_DDL(‘TABLESPACE_QUOTA’, ‘...’) FROM dual;
    Then just replace the username with the new one you want to create.

  • I was just given an iMac G4 running OX X 10.4 Unfortunately it is password protected. How do I set up a new user? I don't need (and would prefer to remove) the old users.

    Since I cannot even get past the opening security screen I don't see how to set up my own user account. Thanks!

    Thanks. Believe, me I would have done that if I had the DVD. They couldn't find it when they gave me the computer. They are still looking but who knows if they'll find it. I'm going to try to get one from someone else and was hoping there was a way to bypass this as there is on Windows machine, just set up a new user and deal with the old users later if ever.

  • New user - switched from PC to Mac and can't figure out some mail issues

    I looked at the software discussions and they didn't have one for something as simple as mail! I've also checked mail help and the online support and Switch 101 and Mac 101. All of them tell me I can do something but not how in very simple steps.
    In the Apple store they were using all this fancy stationery for e-mail. Even my e-mail program looks different from the one in Mac 101.
    I want to do 2 things. Use stationery and write those little "to-do" notes and I can't figure out how. On Mac 101 it shows a message and right below the address lines is a box with stationery menus, like birthdays, invitations etc. I don't have that box. I have the address lines and then jut the place where you write the e-mail. No stationery, no notes.
    Thanks,
    Susan

    I am on a new message. There is no photo browser (I'd do a screen shot if I knew how but I only know how to do that on a PC).
    On a new mail message (I went to file and clicked new message) I have the 3 dots in the left corner (to close, minimize, etc) and under that some icons (send, chat, attach, address colors, save as draft). The the To: line, the CC: line, the Subject: line and account line (next to the account line i have a drop down box to customize) Then the body of the e-mail that I type in. Thats it, no stationary, no photo browser.
    Again my mail program is 2.1.1 and from my serching it seems that 3.0 is the latest mail program. I clicked the little apple in the left upper corner of my mail program and had it search for updates but it said there were none.
    This is so frustrating to buy a new computer with old software. I'm guessing I have leopard but I have no idea how to see what version of the OS I have. Again I bought this thing on Friday, 3 days ago.

  • Mac Pro -- Installing XP and Win 7 on a SEPARATE Internal Drive

    I would like to install Windows XP SP2 and Windows 7 onto the second Internal Drive in my Mac Pro. I am planning to install Win XP on the first partition and Win 7 onto the second Partition of Drive 2.
    Will this work?
    Drive 1 - GUID partition Scheme -- 1 partition -- Snow Leopard
    Drive 2 - MBR Partition Scheme -- 2 partitions -- WinXP -- Windows 7
    Drive 3 - MBR Partition Scheme -- 3 partitions -- Linux
    Drive 4 - MBR Partition Scheme -- 1 partition -- NTFS Shared Data
    Can I use MBR or do I need to use GUID Partition Scheme on my second drive holding Win XP and Win 7?
    P.S. I do not plan to use Bootcamp assistant to install WIndows XP and Win 7. I only will be using the Mac OS X Install Disk to install the Bootcamp Drivers.
    And What does this mean in the Bootcamp Guide:
    "Note: If your computer has more than one internal disk and you want to install
    Boot Camp on a disk that isn’t in the first hard drive bay, remove the drives in the lower numbered bays. You can reinstall the drives after you install Boot Camp."
    What does Apple mean by lower number bays? Drive 1 or Drives 3 and 4?
    And why do I need to remove drives?
    Rob

    I thought it might be possible, and while you must use MBR, and while Windows 7 can install on its own without BCA, the same is not true of XP. People have tried, and the conclusion was a no go.
    Don't know what Linux requires.
    GPT is fine for data drives though, and is required when you get into drives of 2TB and larger.
    As long as you format the drive partition table as MBR you are fine.
    The only time when you used GPT you have to also use BCA to add the MBR and have a hybrid partition. GPT actually includes an "MBR holder" to prevent XP and others from wrecking havoc on GPT volumes that they don't support.
    Never used XP, and for one purpose alone I just used XP Mode instead.
    Apple tech notes are full of misinformation and support for Windows on their own Macs is sadly missing.
    BUT: remove any and all drives that are GPT or have OS X during the install of Windows (both XP and 7). Otherwise it won't install. Then put them back. And if you want to play safe, then use the drive bay #1 at the front of the Mac for Windows, yes.

  • New user of Macbook Pro - Problems sending out emails

    Hi, I have just recently bought a macbook pro. I have created my email account. However, when I try to send an email, the message is just stuck in the outbox. What do I do to overcome this problem please?

    Hi Ernie,
    I found the below information when going to "what are bt yahoo settings". Is this information useful at all?
    What are the BT Yahoo! Mail settings?
    To use an email program to send and receive BT Yahoo! Mail messages, you must designate a new incoming (POP) mail server and a new outgoing (SMTP) mail server. Outlook Express users can do this automatically by going to My account and clicking on 'Configure my email client settings'.
    If your program won't let you add new POP or SMTP servers, you'll need to change your current server settings.
    Here are the basic server settings for BT Yahoo! Mail:
    Incoming Mail (POP3) Server:
    mail.btinternet.com
    Port (usually specified in 'Advanced settings')
    110
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server:
    mail.btinternet.com
    Port (usually specified in 'Advanced Settings')
    25
    Account Name/Login Name:
    Your email address (including the "@btinternet.com" or "@btopenworld.com" part)
    Password:
    Your BT Yahoo! password
    Please note: if your client does not support SMTP authentication, you will not be able to use it to send your BT Yahoo! Mail messages.

  • New user with several questions on forms and useage.

    Once a user fills out a form, is there a way to make the data in the text fields un-editable?
    While I'm here, on the same form there are several fields that are required to be filled out. Is it possible to prevent the user from being able to save the form before they fill out the required fields?
    I have an Excel file that when opened asks the user for certain data and automatically puts the entered data into the required cells using VB. Is it possible to do the same in Adobe?
    Been using Acrobat for years, but my company only uses it for simple pdf creation and maybe putting stamps on customer supplied files, so these probably seem like simple questions.
    By the way this is on Acrobat 8 Pro.
    Thanks for any help!

    Once a user fills out a form, is there a way to make the data in the text fields un-editable?
    Yes. The best is by using a digital signature. Second best is by using a script to set the fields as read-only at some point.
    Is it possible to prevent the user from being able to save the form before they fill out the required fields?
    No. You can set fields as required but that only applies when the file is submitted. You can display an error message when the file is being saved if some of the required scripts are not filled-in (using a script), but you can't prevent someone from saving the file.
    I have an Excel file that when opened asks the user for certain data and automatically puts the entered data into the required cells using VB. Is it possible to do the same in Adobe?
    Yes, that's possible. Again, using a script.
    By the way this is on Acrobat 8 Pro.
    This is quite an old version, not compatible with any current operating system. You should consider upgrading...

  • New user needs help with time machine and mac server.

    I am a new mac user and got a new mac mini running server.  I have time machine enabled on the server and a back up folder created.  My macbook will not see the server when trying to set up time machine from the macbook.  What am I missing?  Thanks.

    Unfortunately even though Apple had touted the AEBS USB2 HD use with TimeMachine (TM) they pulled it from the Leopard TM feature list about 1 week before releasing Leopard GNBuild 9A581.
    At this time Apple does not support use of the AEBS USB HD for use TM.
    I strongly suspect we will see this feature return in one of the next two updates Apple releases for Leopard.
    In the meantime be patient and I don't recommend you use a hack to circumvent the current TM limitation.
