My only issue with that is it keeps forgetting the password, but I think this is more user error than a Mac thing.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your experience.Kelli Russell Agodon - Book of Kellshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01798460634708905783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37627577.post-46855649435478106242012-11-18T07:05:49.229-08:002012-11-18T07:05:49.229-08:00I hope you've posted each time that machine cr...I hope you've posted each time that machine crashes while sending email.

You can also have 'Grid View' which shows the 'Stack' as a folder on the dock then shows everything in a table format or just neatly organized thumbnails. And finally there's the list which shows things as, well, a list. Just drag and drop a folder such as your documents folder out of Finder to the dock and play with it - and don't worry, you're not moving it!<br /><br />Keychain: This is your password and username storage. It works with all the built in Mac applications and so if you have your email info saved via Mail you can also use it in Safari. I haven't had any problems with it saving account information, but it could be that the ebay page wont let it save the information to help prevent someone accessing your account - safety measures. If it really bugs you then Firefox is an excellent browser and will save it - at least with the LastPass addon (which also backs up your passwords and you can set it to ask for 1 master password when you open your browser before all your other passwords work). <br /><br />With your iPhoto problem I think you need an external program to do what you wanted to do. I use Photoshop CS4 personally, but for your average user it's very expensive! I got it with student discount thankfully, but you could try Skitch http://skitch.com/ which is free. I've not tried it but it was recommended by Make Use Of several times so it should be quite good.<br /><br />Email is the easiest one of the lot. Simple go to Mail, open a New Message and click on the Address book image above the to field! If it's not there then right click in the menu bar near send (it should be the one with the paper plane picture), go to 'Customize Toolbar...' and drag the Address icon out onto the menu. <br />When you have the menu open simply select the Contact(s) you want (Cmd+Click to select more than one) and then click on the 'To:' 'CC:' or 'BCC:' buttons to add them to the relevant field.<br /><br />In Documents the best way of organising your work is by folder. Under your Username (which should be in the side of the finder window) there are folders for 'Pictures' 'Movies' etc, it can seem rather less intuitive for Windows Users so I suggest you right click on these folders, click on 'Create an Alias' and drag these to your 'Documents' folder for ease of access. You can also create folders within documents - you could create one for each project you're working on or however you want to organize it.<br /><br />If you're trying to open a file in a certain program and the text (such as the name) is grayed out then you're in the wrong program. If it's just the background is grey then you're either in List view or Coverflow view which highlights every other row to make it easier to read across. <br /><br />Quick tip for you: When browsing documents and you don't want to open Word or whatever to open it and see what it is, press space, it'll preview the image for you and if it's a multi-page document even let you scroll through the page without opening the program :)<br /><br />Hope this helps you and you actually get to read it as this post was back in January!Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733118719192180269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37627577.post-3271267071831743402010-02-20T09:45:20.310-08:002010-02-20T09:45:20.310-08:00Good move!

When you figure out the solution to each, the Con will become a Pro. I know there is a way to Insert as I figured that out for my daughter. I don't care about that feature so have forgotten it. But I know I just put "Insert" into the Help window and the answer popped up. The help menu is amazing as is tech support. I especially live the call service. Someone calls you and walks you through the fix. Enjoy your great investment.Diane Lockwardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07614479152159652577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37627577.post-66182552091188293072010-01-10T09:03:54.557-08:002010-01-10T09:03:54.557-08:00J-- it's been a good switch for me.
