Looking at My earlier post I realized that it was really just a list of the many apps I downloaded and used this last year.without much advice
Some tips (Rather whisky induced but no matter)
I found out from the books I read that you could drag your Apps folder to the Right side of the dock. When you click and hold you get a windows type list of your programs did it just to see what it was like and decided to keep it that way.
One thing a beginner must never do is Change your home folder name. I did or at least tried moving it... Not a thing to do.Apple has a wait for this ...40 step way to do the short name change..40 ...right I’m a geek....Gee! thanks Apple. Alternatively you can take your heart in your mouth and try Change short name by Dan frakes..... It a lot easier. So if you are tired of your home folder called “Sugar plum” you can use it ...just read the Instructions on the box first ...as it where
Oh! my word things just bounce in the dock......Repair and verify Permissions (I have to do this with the wife now and again). If that doesn’t work try to trash or move the plist elsewhere.
Updates seem to be a stumbling block. I run the all the maintenance scripts via main menu and then the Verify permissions in disk utility make sure I have nothing hanging out from a port and then update after which I verify again... works for me
and finally
I see a lot of posts on the forum which can be solved by a forum search. This forum is a gold mine for beginners USE the Search function..
