[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1508721"] Normally I'm against the "wipe and reinstall" catchall for every Window ailment, but in this case I think it might be the best course. This time, DO NOT set up your own account first and then use Migration Assistant: use it AS you set up the Mac for the first time (as though it was new) after the system reinstall. That will help A LOT. Second thing I can help you with is "struggling with the basics" -- Macs aren't nearly as different from Windows as people make it out to be -- same old file/folder metaphor with all the main components in the same places. What gives people trouble is generally: 1. Trying to make the Mac behave like Windows -- a fool's errand if ever there was one! 2. Being unwilling to "unlearn" a few things and open one's mind to an alternate (perhaps better) approach. For both of these a visit to [URL="http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/"]Switch 101[/URL] will probably do a world of good. [/QUOTE]
