What is the Mac equivalent for ALT codes?

I want to type basic fractions. In Windows one uses ALT codes (e.g. ALT+0169 for "1/2"). What do you do in Mac?

This page shows you the solution - the layout of the Character Viewer has changed but the principle is the same.

    what is the Mac equivalent of the command "ctrl+shift + I"  for a PC to get to the cookies and delete them

    It varies depending on which browser you're using. In Safari, choose Preferences from the Safari menu, click on the Privacy tab, and then on Details.

  • 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."

  • Simple question: What's the Mac shortcut for size???

    What's the Mac shortcut for increasing the size of the online image?
    Thank you

    Safari offers only two choices, zoom page and zoom text only.
    To zoom images, you have to look for a safari extension.
    I have not tested any, so I have no information about any of it.
    Best.

  • OT: What's the Mac equivalent of Microsoft Paint?

    What's the Mac equivalent of Microsoft Paint?
    It used to be MacPaint, but isn't that long gone?
    Is it iLife? If so, in the specs I don't see any mention of
    basic paint functions although maybe it has them.
    Obviously I don't have a current Mac or I'd know the answer
    to this.
    Thanks.

  • What is the mac equivalent of the windows run command

    I am a mac virgin, always used windows based pc's. I am finding it a bit of a struggle. What is the equivalent run command on a mac?

    To launch a program, double-click its icon or CONTROL-click it and select open. In the Terminal.app (CLI program), it's open <path to application>.

  • What is the MAC address for VMware Workstation

    Hi,
    Is MAC address same for both our Normal PC and the VMware workstation?

    Like the IP addresses, MAC addresses have to be unique for each network adapter, no matter whether it's a physical or virtual adapter.

  • What's the Mac equivalent of Windows Print Setup?

    I can't find where in OS 10.8.5 applications like Numbers or Pages to set margins, page orientation (portrait/landscape), etc. as in Windows Page Setup facility. I also can't find where to set printing in color or B&W.

    The choice of color vs B/W and single sided vs duplex printing is all found in the print dialog -- exactly where in the print dialog is determined by the author of the printer driver software, but it will be in one of the drop down menus in that dialog. In Apple applications such as Pages and Numbers the page setup is found in the File menu or you can access it directly with Shift+Command+P. Margins can be set by going to the View menu and selecting the option to Show Rulers or you can click on the appropriate section of the Inspector pane on the right hand side of the Window. The Pages or Numbers Help section has a lot of tutorial material that will walk you through most of what you need to know.

  • Whats the Mac equivalent to Disk Defrag?

    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?"

  • What is the best app for backing up my mac. I do publication work and need to save my work?

    what is the best app for backing up my mac. I do publication work and need to save my work?

    My answer does not have the black Apple logo but the hardearned black belt of (bad) experience.
    There is one problem with TimeMachine. It can get corrupted out of the blue with no warning and it will not want to restore correctly (as an added "bonus" you get to find this out the "hard" way, when you need it most). Plus it takes ages for the data to be copied back, sometimes days. Haven't tried my 600gb backup on Mavericks but Mountain Lion had this knack of breaking Timemachine after a couple of months.
    To back up my entire server is use SuperDuper. It mirrors the drive to an external one (usb for example) The cool thing is you can use that usb drive and start the OS X from it (by holding Alt when you hear the boot chime).
    This way you have a working copy of your entire machine. You can even go to another mac and boot it from there. I literally ran the OS X Server in my company from a usb drive on an old MacBook Pro until i got around to fix the problems with the actual server machine.
    This has saved me twice already as the Hitachi drives Apple uses, tend to die like clockwork after 4000-5000 hours of use with no warning.

    PS. As a sidenote... SSDs are more reliable than a normal HDD (not to mention faster) I can't stress this enough, my Server is on two SSDs now. I can't tell you how stress free the setup is, it doesn't feel like a computer but more like a router, it just works... forever. After two years with SSDs my server has had two days of downtime and their health is at 97%, they will literally last 100 years with normal use. I'd go so far as to recommend you buy an SSD and move your old HDD to an external enclosure and use that as a usb backup. (for SSDs i use Plextor / Lite-On M3s (older) or the M6s (newer))

    There is none. You are at the end for a PPC machine. To upgrade you need to purchase an Intel Mac.
    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
             7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
    To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
