Hey All!
This was a great Christmas! I got a new 15" Macbook Pro.... 2.33GHz Core2Duo, 2 gigs ram, 120gb HD.... it is a beauty and I couldn't be happier. This is my first Mac ever. I am a computer science major and have used nothing but PCs my whole life.
I have been reading up on OSX for a while and I am learning pretty fast. I have questions regarding installing applications and downloading:
1)I downloaded Adium using Firefox. I set Firefox to download everything to the desktop. After downloading Adium, there was nothing on my desktop besides my Macintosh HD icon. Upon searching for Adium using spotlight, its says the dmg file for Aium is in 'Documents.' My documents folder is empty, however. If I try to d/l Adium to the desktop again, it says it is already there. What am I doing wrong?
2) Another question I have is in regards to the trash. When I right click the trash and click 'Empty Trash', I hear the sound effects, hwever, upon opening the trash, the items that should have been emptied are still there. When I click on the items, only then do they diappear out of the trash. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance for any insight you all might have on these subjects!!!
