[QUOTE="hype.it, post: 45600, member: 4085"] What your experiencing is normal and sometimes change is frustrating, especially when you know little about the new system and how it works or operate. Yes, doing things on the Mac is completely different and doing the most simple of things can cause headaches, because they made it so simple, you don't think logically how to do it. Take for example, in windows if you wanted a image you would right click and choose "save as", but on the Mac, if you want it, then just drag it to the desktop or a folder. May I ask what model is your camera? Just because iPhoto isn't compatible, doesn't mean you can't use it. Do you use Photoshop? How about installing the plug-in into Photoshop's import folder? I'll be very surprised if this doesn't work. And your printer... is it a network printer or a parallel one? Non of the window parallel printers will work on a Mac. In regards to slow internet access, to really find out what the problem is, one should try using the system directly connected to the router, via a RJ45 cable. If pages load quicker then it's something you've set incorrectly in the airport base. But since your having issues with your router also, this method isn't gonna help you. If i was you i'd make backups of important files and bookmarks, should you have any. Then maybe the best thing you can do is re-install the MacOS from the original CD/DVD and start from scratch. Use the Software Updates from the Apple menu to update your system. A few restarts might be required, but it'll tell you. I think most people here would like you to be happy with your system too, after all you invested hard earned money on this new toy. If you need any more help or assistance, we're here. Another thing, since you brought your system used, it might be worth your while to contact Apple, maybe they'll be nice and give you 90 days free tech support. Just explain to them you brought the system from another user and wondered can you get any support as you know nothing about Macs. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
