I have just made the switch from PC to Mac with a nice new 15" Macbook pro! I cant help but feel like I am in Brazil speaking Russian. A beautifully crafted (£1500) piece of of kit that after 5 days I am getting no use out of and am still booting my XP laptop daily to function.!
My main obstacles i could do with some help are:
My 3 USB dongles installs but wont run the set up. It works fine on 2 XP laptops so I am sure the hardware is all ok. The fact I cant access the internet etc on the move is a major hindrance.
I also have lots of WMV files that the Mac refuses to open. A friend recommended 'Perian' which I downloaded but no amount of double clicking on the file will install it.
I have also downloaded various pieces of software I used on on PC (in mac format) but again no amounts of double clicking will get them to install.
I have an i-phone that is just brilliant and was hoping my switch to mac would be the same. Can anyone give advice on how to start my love affair with the Mac?
Thanks in advance.
