  • A Visualization on What's Changing Google Accounts Help
    Google Accounts Help About the conversion: A visualization on what's changing Google offers different types of accounts to different types of users. Until recently, we offered two primary types of accounts that were completely separate services: Google Accounts Provide access to all Google products and services, such as Gmail, Blogger, Orkut, and Web History. Can be created with any email address, such as the email address you have with your organization, or with any webmail address (@yahoo.com, @hotmail.com, etc.). Signing up for Gmail automatically creates a Google Account with that address. Google Apps Accounts Issued and managed by and used with your @my-domain.com organization. Provide access to only Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Sites, Groups, and Video. Before the transition Google Accounts Google Apps accounts Example accounts: [email protected] Example accounts: [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Sample of products on Google Accounts: Only 6 products on Google Apps accounts: However, we recently transitioned Google Apps accounts so you can use your @my-domain.com address to access the same Google products and services that Google Accounts holders can. Your Google Apps Account is now a Google Account. Conflicting accounts If you've used other Google products outside of the ones you can access with your Google Apps account such as Picasa, Reader, or AdWords, you've already created a conflicting Google Account. If you used your Google Apps email address to sign up for and use those other Google services, you now have two Google Accounts, with the same address.

  • Picasa Getting Started Guide
    Picasa Getting Started Guide Picasa is free photo management software from Google that helps you find, edit and share your photos in seconds. We recommend that you print out this brief overview of Picasa's main features and consult it as you use the program for the first time to learn about new features quickly. Organize Once you start Picasa, it scans your hard drive to find and automatically organize all your photos. Picasa finds the following photo and movie file types: • Photo file types: JPG, GIF, TIF, PSD, PNG, BMP, RAW (including NEF and CRW). GIF and PNG files are not scanned by default, but you can enable them in the Tools > Options dialog. • Movie file types: MPG, AVI, ASF, WMV, MOV. If you are upgrading from an older version of Picasa, you will likely want to keep your existing database, which contains any organization and photo edits you have made. To transfer all this information, simply install Picasa without uninstalling Picasa already on your computer. On your first launch of Picasa you will be prompted to transfer your existing database. After this process is complete, you can uninstall Picasa. Library view Picasa automatically organizes all your photo and movie files into collections of folders inside its main Library view. Layout of main Library screen: Picasa Getting Started Guide Page 1 of 9 Folder list The left-hand list in Picasa's Library view shows all the folders containing photos on your computer and all the albums you've created in Picasa. These folders and albums are grouped into collections that are described in the next section.
