  • Organizing Screens with Mission Control | 61
    Organizing Screens with 7 Mission Control If you’re like a lot of Mac users, you like to do a lot of things at once. No matter how big your screen may be, it can still feel crowded as you open and arrange multiple windows on the desktop. The solution to the problem? Mission Control. The idea behind Mission Control is to show what you’re running all at once. It allows you to quickly swap programs. In addition, Mission Control lets you create multiple virtual desktops (called Spaces) that you can display one at a time. By storing one or more program windows in a single space, you can keep open windows organized without cluttering up a single screen. When you want to view another window, just switch to a different virtual desktop. Project goal: Learn to use Mission Control to create and manage virtual desktops (Spaces). My New Mac, Lion Edition © 2011 by Wallace Wang lion_book-4c.indb 59 9/9/2011 12:04:57 PM What You’ll Be Using To learn how to switch through multiple virtual desktops (Spaces) on your Macintosh using Mission Control, you’ll use the following: > Mission Control > The Safari web browser > The Finder program Starting Mission Control Initially, your Macintosh displays a single desktop, which is what you see when you start up your Macintosh. When you want to create additional virtual desktops, or Spaces, you’ll need to start Mission Control. There are three ways to start Mission Control: > Start Mission Control from the Applications folder or Dock. > Press F9.

  • Mac Keyboard Shortcuts Cut, Copy, Paste, and Other Common Shortcuts
    Mac keyboard shortcuts By pressing a combination of keys, you can do things that normally need a mouse, trackpad, or other input device. To use a keyboard shortcut, hold down one or more modifier keys while pressing the last key of the shortcut. For example, to use the shortcut Command-C (copy), hold down Command, press C, then release both keys. Mac menus and keyboards often use symbols for certain keys, including the modifier keys: Command ⌘ Option ⌥ Caps Lock ⇪ Shift ⇧ Control ⌃ Fn If you're using a keyboard made for Windows PCs, use the Alt key instead of Option, and the Windows logo key instead of Command. Some Mac keyboards and shortcuts use special keys in the top row, which include icons for volume, display brightness, and other functions. Press the icon key to perform that function, or combine it with the Fn key to use it as an F1, F2, F3, or other standard function key. To learn more shortcuts, check the menus of the app you're using. Every app can have its own shortcuts, and shortcuts that work in one app may not work in another. Cut, copy, paste, and other common shortcuts Shortcut Description Command-X Cut: Remove the selected item and copy it to the Clipboard. Command-C Copy the selected item to the Clipboard. This also works for files in the Finder. Command-V Paste the contents of the Clipboard into the current document or app. This also works for files in the Finder. Command-Z Undo the previous command. You can then press Command-Shift-Z to Redo, reversing the undo command.

  • Installing an Airport Extreme Card in an Intel Mac Pro — Meandering Passage 2/4/09 5:12 PM
    How To: Installing an Airport Extreme Card in an Intel Mac Pro — Meandering Passage 2/4/09 5:12 PM Home About PhotoGallery Plugins Contact Subscribe Meandering Passage Ads by Google Express Card LAN Card Airports Card USB to Serial How To: Installing an Airport Extreme Card in an Intel Mac Pro by Earl Moore on July 18, 2007 in Apple Mac, Hardware, How To Installing an Apple Airport Extreme Card in a Intel Mac Pro is not considered by Apple to be a user installed option so you’ll find little or no instructional help from Apple. It’s not a job for the timid. You’ll need a steady hand and patience. It will also help if you have small fingers. It’s difficult mainly due to the cramped space and small parts involved. I purchased my intel Mac Pro from Apple as a refurbished unit and it didn’t have the 802.11b/g/n Airport Extreme Card installed as a factory option. I wanted this capability, so I purchased a compatible Airport Extreme (802.11n) from FastMac and did it myself. Disclaimer: Here’s the procedures I followed. Use them at your own risk. It worked for me but I’m not responsible for any damages you might do to your computer. Instructions for Installing a Airport Extreme Card in an Intel Mac Pro: 1. Lift the rear latch and remove the side panel of the Mac Pro. 2. Place the Mac Pro on it’s side on a desk or workbench where you can have easy access.

  • Apple for Newbies
    Apple for Newbies While Macs are technically personal computers (PCs), the term PC is often used to describe computers that run Windows or Linux. Therefore, Macs are often referred to as personal computers, but not PCs. Unlike PCs, which are manufactured by several different companies, Apple designs and manufactures all Macintosh computers. Dock Select an item in the Dock: click its icon. When an application is running, the Dock displays an illuminated dash beneath the application's icon. To make any currently running application the active one, click its icon in the Dock to switch to it (the active application's name appears in the menu bar to the right of the Apple logo). As you open applications, their respective icons appear in the Dock, even if they weren't there originally. That means if you've got a lot of applications open, your Dock will grow substantially. If you minimize a window, the window gets pulled down into the Dock and waits until you click this icon to bring up the window again. The Dock keeps applications on its left side, while Stacks and minimized windows are kept on its right. If you look closely, you'll see a vertical separator line that separates them. If you want to rearrange where the icons appear within their line limits, just drag a docked icon to another location on the Dock and drop it. Tip: Control-click or right-click a Dock item to see a contextual menu of additional choices. Adding and removing Dock items 1. Add an item to the Dock: Click the Launchpad icon in the Dock and drag the application icon to the Dock; the icons in the Dock will move aside to make room for the new one.
