[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1186191, member: 24098"] I think your other questions have been answered, but not the one on copy and pasting. It works the same as it would in Windows (i.e. highlight the text, right click and click 'Copy'. In the destination, right-click and click 'Paste'). You can also use the Edit menu at the top of the screen in any application to access copy/paste options. Alternatively, you can use Command+C to copy, Command+X to cut, and Command+V to paste. I'm guessing you might have asked this question in the first place because you don't have two-fingered tapping turned on for right-click. Basically, you can tap your trackpad with two fingers to right click, but it needs to be enabled first. You can find these options in Apple menu => System Preferences => Trackpad. Under 'Two Fingers', check the box marked "Secondary Tap". I would also echo the suggestion of checking out Apple's own Switcher 101 site as well as picking up a copy of [URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0596153287/?tag=macforums0e4-20"]this[/URL] book, which is one of the best out there - easy to read, and well-written. Highly recommended. As far as (what I assume is) your wireless router goes - you may need to check with the vendor. My guess is that you might be inadvertently using WEP encryption, which can vary in how its passcode is entered depending on the system you're using to connect to it. WEP is basically a long-dead standard and is completely useless and can lead to a false sense of security. Fortunately, all wireless routers since about 2004 support WPA, which is much easier to use, faster and secure. Check with Orange about getting your router configured to use WPA. [/QUOTE]
