Hey guys,
I've been using my shiny new mac since early january now and I've pretty much got it down. I've learnt the commands that I need to know and switched from windows quite quickly and with relative ease.
I do however have 2 queries:
1. How do I 'hide' files on a mac, I've not been able to figure it out. I have a program called Cocktail that I can use to view hidden files easily, I just don't know how to hide them to start with!
2. Is there a 'ctrl+alt+delete' style command? I'm currently running an app (alterpod), it's meant to be backing up my iPod firmware but it doesn't seem to be doing anything, I've also ejected my iPod so it can't be doing anything but it's still running and I can't quit. I've discovered that sometimes there is a 'Force Quit' option but it's not there. I'd just like to be able to close the app really, if it's not possible i'm sure a reboot will sort it!
Thanks, Tom :ninja:
