I switched to Mac about 10month ago from PC (due to Vista). some of the issues I am having are:
- External monitor/key board. I usually open mbp and switch on and close the mbp and usually it's hit or miss, sometime it starts fine but other times I had to click on the mouse/keyboard to wake the computer and other times it just hangs (time for hard reboot).
-DVD burner. maybe there is something wrong with my burner, I've burn more bad ones than good ones. during the varifying state it fails. it has happen many times where MBP burned a DVD and it hangs up due it's unrecognizable files (all pictures). hard reboot does not fix this b/c it still tries to read dvd drive.
-I hate using finder as dvd burner. are there other options?
-I've experienced Mac hang up more often than PC.
- how do you uninstall applications s/w properly?
-Finder is not as good as windows explorer. when I am dealing with >1000 images, it gets quite frustrating to work with finder.
-some of my applications s/w (Nikon Capture NX, PS Bridge and Firefox) closes unexpectedly and had to be restarted.
-it seem like Mac Safari is always in the higher que compare to firefox
I would appreciated if anyone could advise on or tell what I am doing wrong.
I don't know why I still want to stay with Mac after all this problems (it's probably the dullness of how window works). I am beginning to think that PC's are more practical, so I am actually thinking about purchasing PC desktop for DVD burning and file organizing (on external HD).
