Hey everyone, I searched around on the forums for some of the answers to my questions before I made my own thread, but I could never find exactly the answers to my problems, so here we go:
1. I cannot get Mail to work. I have a Yahoo account, tell Mail that, tell them my username and password and then it says that Mail cannot connect with the POP servers from Yahoo. I know that a Gmail account works better, but is there an easy way to switch other than just creating a whole new e-mail? That seems like it would be such a pain because everyone knows me on the Yahoo account.
2. I am in a somewhat dim/lit room and every time I have to reach to the top right of the keyboard (like when I hit delete) the screen dims for just a split second and then goes back to the regular brightness. Is there anyway to make it less sensitive so that it doesn't go off?
3. The most important one to me. I have around 18 gigs of music that are on my PC. What is the best way to get that music from that computer to this one? I heard that buying an external hard drive would work best, but I don't really feel like dropping $100 only to use it for about an hour. I thought that this would be a pretty common problem, but I did some searches and really could not find anything that was similar to my situation, surprisingly.
4. Is there anything else that you would like to recommend to me at this time? Because I was pretty familiar with Windows and how stuff works, but this is just a whole 'nother game and I feel lost. I love the computer so far though and I'm sure that once I get used to how things work on here, I will love it even more.
Also, when I opened iTunes, it said that an update was available and when it checked for other updates, it found 9 things, so I am installing those now. How do I check for these updates in the future?
