[QUOTE="rohan, post: 614998, member: 49276"] i have been a pc user till december 2007 & then i switched to mac...a few things work differently...but i love it...for your first problem...use spotlight :) instead of looking through folders...just search for the name of the file/folder you need to change your permission to modify files that are locked...(at the bottom on the get info panel) you can do this only if you are the admin. i cannot understand your itunes problem...never encountered that... [I]And what is going on with new progarames? I admit that part of this is because i am new to macs, but really what a mess, i have no idea what file goes where, icons , download file, applications!!! eject, eject a programme?!?! , really it needent be like this!!! Oh yeh, the disappearing dock, that really took the biscuit.[/I] i didn't quite understand the point of this....are you asking where to put these files? applications go in applications...downloads go in downloads... icons...well go anywhere you want...i have a sub folder in documents where i save my icons... eject a program? a little vague... i dont know how the dock disappears either...i have had that problem only after viewing a dvd in fullscreen mode...the fix is simple...you exit full screen...enter fullscreen again...& when you exit this time the dock is back...(this may not apply in your case) [/QUOTE]
