Ok, yesterday I bought a refurb mac mini that a small business owner had used in office. It also came with 2 years apple care =)
Anyway, set it up, fooled around a bit to try to get a hang of things since its my first mac.
Ive been reading and searching the forums for a bit, and I just want to see if I understand things here, as well as ask a couple small questions.
1) When you download an application, you have to drag the program icon to the applications folder first? What are the exact steps to cleanly installing a program such as winrar, or unrarx?
The only reason I ask is because last night I tried downloading winrar for mac os x, and I was prompted to choose an application to open the file with..
2) When I had a pc, I used firefox and I could set it to clear my history when I closed it completely. I didnt see an option for that in the mac os x version.
Did I just not look hard enough?
Sorry for bringing up overly asked questions, but I searched to the best of my ability.
