Hello new member here. I purchased a ibook G4 about a month ago and I must say, it's very different then windows. I purchase the ibook because I wanted a portable laptop that is good for photoshop. I'm a amatuer photographer and this computer seem to be the best pick for the price. I bought it in Japan so I saved a bit of money compared to back at home.
Well enough of why I bought it, on to some questions about OSX. When you go to the hard drive there is a little house icon there with the movie, music, pictures ,etc icons. When I bought the computer, the guy asked what i want for user name and password. I said abc for user name. The house is icon is named abc. I went to the account in the system preference to change it to patrick. ok done. i went to the users folder and the house is still abc and there is a folder with patrick on it. Shouldn't the house icon say my name on it, and not it stay the same and not make a new folder? And when I log in, I log in as Patrick. But when I transfer photos, it would go to the photo folder of abc, but not to photo folder of patrick.
Another problem I have is the computer would turn itself off at random times. The only way I get it back running is taking the battery out and putting it back it. Any idea why this happens?
Also can I take out programs like idvd, garageband and be able to install them if I ever need to use them? They are just taking up space.
It's a little late so my brain may not be working really well. Sorry if I typed anything that didn't make any sense. I will explain it better if I confused anyone with my explaination. But besides those problems, I'm very happy with the mac.
