| 687647 | 2008-07-20 08:26:00 | yep - I was reading that last night. Hopefully Apple is working on a few updates as the issues appear to be fairly wide spread. Not surprising with a 1st gen Apple release but not that great either. No but if it were a Microsoft product I wonder who would be calling it rubbish and what do you expect. Thought anything Apple JUST WORKS, isn't that what we have all been led to believe - Seems not. Heres a thought - the Iphone is quite popular, no doubting that - which means that all the idiots with nothing better to do will soon be finding ways to hack it or cause some sort of trouble, ANYTHING popular is fair game to those sorts of people.Then we will see all sorts of security fixes coming out. |

| 687649 | 2008-07-20 08:41:00 | Good idea plod . I am sure it would be easily repairable . Yes Apple do have their share of hardware problems - they make electonic gadgets after all . Which Mac OS was that Ninjabear? The reason you found it frustrating to use - like a lot of PC users - is because you were expecting it to be like a PC . . . where is the START button, Where is C/Drive? Where is My Documents? - am I close? Explained here Its universal Jen - check out the feed back to the various Mac blog articles in the Herald - pretty much an identical flame war to what happens here . nzherald . co . nz/blog/mac-planet/?c_id=1502175" target="_blank">blogs . nzherald . co . nz It's not because I am use to PC . I tried having a clean mind using it but just I felt so frustrated I left the computer lab at massey and it took me 10 mins to log out of the mac As you know Windows is more logic . Everything is found at the start menu . Seems logic right? Well for Mac there are no menus . It's at the top and I think the first word on the top left is the menu "File" . Whats "file" got to do with logging off? It is very inconsistent when using a mac . Sure it looks like but PC can be customize way better to your liking |

Sure it looks like but PC can be customize way better to your liking Next to the Apple logo which is what you click on to log out( The last option on the list) you get the Finder which if you click on it you get About Finder and Finder prefs etc which allows for some customization of the GUI. The "Start" button you are looking for is the Finder icon on the left hand side of the Dock which opens up to an Explorer like File directory which is also where your Applications and documents are located ( which is why it is called "Finder" ;) ) There are menus, both in Finder and each application window that you have open - the Apps are in the Applications folder in Finder - pretty simple really? They are also the icons on the Dock which is located at the bottom of the screen by default. As I posted earlier - here is a link that explains what the differences are finance.yahoo.com One question - how is it logical to use the START menu to LOG OUT? There is no logic in that at all :confused: Starting, Yes but logging out...not. Duh. |

| 687654 | 2008-07-20 10:31:00 | Hmmm talking about strange names that dont quite match. Just did a search on Google. According to the results. Windows calls the search function "Search" (Even a dummy would know that - makes sence eh!) MAC calls the search function Soptlight Notice a new bar called "Spotlight" opens on the desktop and contains a blank text field. This text field is where you will enter your search parameters. Why is most things under "finder", if you know the location you shouldn't have to "Find" anything. At the end of the day its all just wording, each OS has its own wording for different functions, all resulting in hopefully the out come the user wants. |

| 687655 | 2008-07-20 10:34:00 | Correct - you use a Spotlight to find stuff The other ones come down to simplicity - everything is located in Finder;Documents, Apps, Movies etc . The Finder is located in the Dock so it is easy to access. If you don't remember where you put a file or folder it but know what you called it or the file extension use Spotlight to search - Vista has copied the idea but called it something else. |
