Mac OS X Guide

Merged

Thought it would be better to merge all the guides into one as it would be handier for users to get all at once. Would also help keep the forum less cluttered with so many stickies. (which gets overbearing for users)

It would be nice to have them all in the OP though. ;)

Good thing you explained that calculator thing - I was all confused by it!

;) Scientific and Programmer modes often go unnoticed though.

Added the guides to the first post. I'll be doing an update to the OS X guide very soon.

I updated the Mac OS X Guide:

- Included info on Kernel Panics in Other Good things to Know.

- Wrote a new section about reinstalling OS X.

- Included the current version of OS X in About Mac OS X.

Thanks for the Guide OsirisX, most useful to the novice like me to Leopard! (Y)

Very useful guides, especially for the newcomer to Mac.

Thank you. :)

Sorry for being so slow at updating the links, I totally forgot about it :/

New links:

why do you need the utilities.pdf if all of that info is in the apps.pdf?

So it is. I remember originally uploading them as separate guides due to the file size being a bit big.

Any plans on translating them in other languages? Say... Dutch for example?

How is this thread still pinned? links are dead.

How is this thread still pinned? links are dead.

3 posts up from the end of the thread they are good. I just updated the OP to reflect the correct links.

Apparently the Utilities guide info is all contained inside of the Apps guide, so that bad link was removed.

Hello guys,

My friend bought a Macbook and loves it. However she has 2 applications that runs only in windows. She asked me to help install XP, but she also wants her existing Snow Leopard.

How can I dual boot XP and Snow Leopard? Or Vmware is easier? She only needs XP for using 2 applications on it now and then.

Thanks for your help,

Cheers :)

You can use Boot Camp Assistent to set up a dual-boot configuration, it's located in /Applications/Utilties. If she does't rely on graphics intensive apps I'd just use VMWare Fusion since you don't have to go through the troubles of setting up multiple partitions, managing them and having to restart every time you need to access Windows. VMare Fusion is much less disruptive to your workflow.

Just picked up a macbook pro (2009) and am slightly confused with the dock section (beginner guide), it states "right clicking the separator will give you options for the dock". Right clicking?! I don't have left/right click!

You can set Dock preference by going to:

Apple > System Preferences Dock.

Also in the system preferences for the mouse or trackpad you can set the Secondary Click options.

Or hold the Option key and and just click normally

I guess this is now an old topic :-/ as the download links no longer work. Would be great if your still around and can provide an update or reload the links. Happy Mac'ing
