Mac OS X

The Dell printers are not supported on Macs but the Dell printers are usually made by Lexmark so setting up for a Lexmark X5470 or Lexmark X3550 may get some functions working. Printing may be enabled with the Generic PostScript option from the Print Using... menu.

There is no default setting for finder windows and columns but you can follow these steps: 1) Open your finder window

2) While holding down option key on keyboard, drag the bottom right corner as far as you would like the window to be

4) If you would like the column size to be wider, do the same thing: hold down option and drag the two little lines you see at the bottom right corner of the column to adjust it

5) If you have several folders within main folders that you would like to be bigger, it will change all the column sizes of the smaller folders (this doesn't make sense now but it will later) automatically

:) hope this helped

Download "The Unarchiver " from the App Store, and use that.

Pressing the Command key (cmd) and the F key will toggle between Full screen and a window when using LiquidMac.

I don't believe there is a difference as such. CAM simply refers to the way the switch uses memory (in a content-addresable) manner to look up the MAC address to port association.

• In the Edit menu of Mac applications will be found a Special Characters option

⁂ This will provide you with access to all the fancy characters available from your installed fonts

⌘ These can be dragged and dropped into your text editing application as required

⎈ or the codes can be used for embedding in a rich text page

• If there is a flag on the menu bar clicking on the flag may offer the option to show the keyboard viewer. If not available this can be activated from the Input Sources tab of the Language & Text section of System Preferences

• The keyboard viewer will show which characters are available from the keyboard when pressing the Alt key, the Alt and Shift key together etc.

• From this it will be noted that in most fonts the Alt and 8 key provide a standard filled bullet point

The interface is collectively known as "Aqua." The widget toolkit that makes up the interface is known as "Cocoa."

Simply open up your Applications folder (/users/[yourusername] and drag the Application to the Trash. (Obviously, replace [yourusername] with your User Name.) Once you empty the trash it should be gone. The only thing is, it leaves preference files behind, so here's where they are located:

users/[yourusername]/library/preferences

users/[yourusername]/library/preferences

Simply delete those 2 files and your Mac will be as if you never downloaded Audacity.

Finder > shift + command + g > type "/" (without quotes) > click on Macintosh HD once > command + i

The computer is unable to find a system folder to boot from. You will need to install Mac OS X again from the installation discs that came with the computer. Insert the disc and hold down the C key while the computer restarts to boot from the disc. Follow the instructions to reinstall Mac OS X. Do not delete (or even move) files unless you are certain that they are not required.

An example of proxemics is how most Americans feel safe and comfortable with keeping people we know at an arm's length away during conversation. This space increases to a couple of feet if the person is a complete stranger or not well known

Yours get 5GB of free storage. Your purchased music, movies, apps, books, and TV shows, as well as your Photo Stream, do not count against your free storage. So 5GB is normally all you need. You can buy more if need be.

Yes.

There is a smaller number of gaming software titles for Mac OS X than for Windows, however there are places to find some. For example, in Apple's online store, you can find many popular action games here: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/software/action_games?mco=NDA5MTQ

The reason for the limited number of gaming titles is similar to a broader question of generally fewer software titles, that being that Windows has a much larger market share than does Mac OS X. However, in recent years, the Mac market share has seen significant gains (especially in the consumer market), prompting many game makers, such as Electronic Arts and id, as well as other general software developers, to begin making their software for Mac OS X. Currently, almost all software has a Mac-compatible version or substitute, including many open-source programs and games. -To add to the above, In the past few years, the argument over Macs having less software was a catch 22 - The software developers tended to make stuff for PC because there were more people using them, and more and more people who were buying their first computer were using PCs because that was the platform the software developers were tending to create for. However, as said above, more developers are beginning to program software for macs, including some game companies.

If you're using icon view clean up puts all the icons in orderly positions (Lined up horizontally and vertically). I think the order depends on other settings. If you want to see just go to icon view, move the icons to random places, and choose clean up.

If you are at the Desktop, it arranges the icons on the Desktop. If you are in a Finder window and right click, it moves around the items in that window.

The spinning beach ball is a sign that the Mac is waiting for something. There are several common causes for this:

1. The start-up disk drive has less than 10% free space. - Free up disk space by deleting or moving files to an external drive.

2. The System Cache has grown very large and it takes time for the Mac to read it. - Clear the system cache. A free app that can do this is AppleJack. AppleJack can also repair simple start-up drive problems, broken pref files, and permissions.

3. There are too many files on the desktop. - Make aliases of files and move the files to the hard drive. Put the aliases into a folder on the desktop.

4. Too many apps are open at once. - Closing a window on a Mac will not quit the app. Use Command Q to quit the app rather than simply clicking the red dot to close the window.

5. An app is trying to update itself and is looking on the Internet to see if there is an update available. - Turn off auto updating for each app. There is usually a menu item for this.

6. The Mac has lost touch with reality. It is wandering around in a house of mirrors and can't find its way out. - Restart the Mac and, if you have AppleJack, hold Command s as you start up. Run the AppleJack routines.

Try pressing Option-Command-Escape. (press them in that order, but don't release any of them until you've pressed the last one.) This will give you the option to force quit any crashed applications. However, force quitting an application will cause any unsaved changes to be lost. Your best bet is to wait a minute or so, and see whether you can quit any applications normally. If you can't, save what you can, and restart your computer.

Note:

Before you press the Option-Command-Escape or use the equivalent command that you find in the Apple menu. (in the upper left of the menu bar) If all is unresponsive and you're seeing a "spinning beach ball", try to be sure you're in the "Finder" by making a click anywhere in a free space on the desktop or pressing the Apple key (= command) and the Tab until you'll see the Finder's icon (and all the rest of the open applications). Select it either by using the arrow keys or keeping pressed the Apple and pressing again Tab (or moving the cursor on it and releasing it).

There are also other ways if the force quit command fails.

You can open an application called Activity Monitor by searching for it in spotlight. It will show you a list of all open applications, and give you information about the amount of processor power, memory, and virtual memory being used. If a program appears to be using too much CPU or memory, or is highlighted in red, you can quit it from within Activity Monitor by selecting the program, and clicking the quit button in the toolbar. This will give you the option of a standard quit, or a force quit. Try the standard quit first, but if that doesn't work, use the force quit option.

The following method utilises Mac OS X's command line utility.

Keep the application named Terminal in the dock (you can add it dragging its icon on it).

Open it and type "top" (of course without the quotes),you'll see a list of all the open applications,if you know which one is causing the problem look at its "name" ,its ID is a number on the left,open one more terminal's window and type "kill" (it's not a joke it's a command that is called in that way) followed by that number and press the enter key (the last one on the lower right of the numbers under the plus sign) or the return key (the second biggest one after the space bar).

Some time when the first method fails this one works.

If all this is not enough just wait,if you're lucky the spinning ball will become again a cursor after some time and you'll be able at least to save all before to restart.

If the problems return try adding all the RAM you can,Mac OS X 10.6.1 Snow Leopard is very stable thus perhaps you're keeping too much applications open at the same time.

Remember that on a Mac to quit an application you've to be sure that it's in the fore ground and press command (Apple key) and Q.

In other words to close the last window of an application doesn't quit the application itself.

If your mac is a laptop, unplug it and remove the battery. Then reinsert the battery and plug it back in. That takes care of a number of problems. If that does not take care of it, insert your instillation disk. Boot with the C key held down after you hear the tone. When it gets to use English click enter. Take your finger off everything. You wait. Look in the upper left hand corner. You will see utilities. You go there. When you get to disk, You click Mackintosh. You want disk utility. First aid. Verify disk permissions. Repair disk permissions. After going through that you reboot from the C drive.
