[QUOTE="KevinJS, post: 1737242, member: 373988"] Since you are coming from Windows, I'll assume the same level of ignorance as I had when I first bought a Mac. Finder is your friend. It is probably the most powerful aspect of a Mac, and infinitely more friendly than anything on Windows. Take, for example, All My Files. Click on that and then Arrange...by Kind and it's difficult to lose anything. Finder is worth taking some time over. The desktop on a Mac is a really good place to avoid leaving stuff. I know that we used it to dump everything on Windows, but one advantage of a Mac is a clean working environment. It soon becomes obvious where things are going to go. Take AirDrop as an example. AirDrop an image from an iPhone to a Mac and you'll see a notification that you are receiving a file. It'll be gone very quickly, before you have a chance to click on "Open". You'll find it in Downloads. And that will happen every time. [/QUOTE]
