My wife and I decided to take the Mac plunge and we are off to a shacky start. Perhaps it is because we used a PC for so long, but the interface that was promised to be so "user freindly and intuitive", has not turned out to be true for us.
I always search on a new forum before posts and I have doen so here without good results. I am sure the fault is mine in that I am not searching on the correct term out o ignorance. I could certainly use some help and advice.
Up front disclaimer; we have a new 17" Macbook Pro.
1. One of the most glaring differences is that there is no right click option (perhaps the mouse I have?). The built in mouse pad does not have a right click feature, nor does the wireless mouse I purchased. Is the assumption that I will use hot keys? Very unfreindly if that is the case, but perhaps I am missing something.
2. One of the primary reasons we got the Mac was the supposed easy of picture and video editing. Using IMovie we are catching on fast, but I am at a road-block on one issue that is driving me up the all. I did a search and found the 20th Century Fox mp3 that i would like to use as an intro. However, I am unale to right click and save the mp3 on to my computer. The sound opens in quicktime (which is a horrible program), and it tells me the only way to save is to buy the "pro" version. That seems obsurd. I am sure I am doing something wrong.
I have lots moe questions, but don't want to spam you guys. If you have specific answers I would appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance and thanks for running what looks to be a great forum.
