Hello all, I have switched from Windows PC to a nice new shiny macbook. So far I like it, no real problems. I have been searching forums for some answers, but havent found any yet so am posting my first post here.
1.My first question is how do I stop a pop up box appearing when I am not connected to the net. It says "communication device cannot connect". It also does this after I have just connected to the net. I am still on dial-up (Yup,you read correctly), no broadband in my area !
2. When I disconnect my connection, it automatically tries to connect again. I use the same line as our company fax machine so like to keep it free during the day. The only thing I can do is pull out the USB modem, then I get the message as in question 1.
3. Am i right to drag the .dmg files into my applications folder, they cant be deleted ?
4. Is there a book anyone would recomend about macbooks and OS X for someone like myself.
I did have another question, but forgot it. So far I am liking my new (since June)machine, no crashes like my old piece of c$@p. Oh yeah, I read on a forum somewhere about an update for something about the keyboard. Its when I first start to type it drops the first letter pressed. I cant find the post again and not sure where to find the update.
Anyhoo, I know it seems a lot, but any help would be great. I dont want to go back to windows ever again.....ever
