Newbie - Some primers - help - copying.
I'm new to Mac. Made the switch and although the os is friendly, I'd hardly call it intuitive. Some things make sense, some don't. Let's agree that it's different.
I'm running a new generation Macbook Pro. 10.5.6
1) I would like to know how to make backups of disks - data discs (ie. programs). I've tried everything that I can think of that makes sense. Now I need you guys because I simply cannot figure it out.
2) Also, is it possible to speed-up cursor travel in a document? It seems AWFULLY slow no matter where I happen to be entering text.
3) Do I have to have a folder in either the DOCK or on the DESKTOP if I want to copy (save) images off of the web? If not, how do I create AND place said files?
Any and all help will be appreciated.
I made the switch out of necessity - I do a lot of magazine work and got fed up of being the only guy in the room with a PC (when things go wrong, they'd all blame me). Anyway, here I am and there you go.
Peace, Love, & Bananas
