goncalo, this is in general, but with on a webpage you need to save a pics, you do need to use the aforementioned technique, with Ctrl

one correction, on mac osx, to make copy paste, is not ctrl + C or Ctrl + V is cmd + C and cmd + V

In mac osX all commands are made by the cmd key like:

close window cmd + w

new file cmd + N

quit from a soft cmd + Q

etc etc

No need, just learn a few time saving quick tips and techniques and that is it.

If you are going to turn your Mac into a PC, well, humm... buy a PC, non?

sounds like you need to enable the touchpad/mouse right click -

go to apple > preferences > mouse > "tick" secondary click

assuming it is reasonably recent MacBook Pro

This gives you a nice right click menu like you get on PC's - so Copy, Paste etc etc

For the Auto Correct -

go to apple > preferences > Language & Text > Text > "tick" correct spelling automatically

Hope this helps!

I bought a top spec Porche 911 18 months ago and hated it as it would just not do what I want it to do with it and the ignition is on the "wrong" side, etc, so I sold it on for about £8.000 less than I paid and got another Fiesta hot hatch.

I love my iPhones, ipads and ipods but just could not get on with the MacBook although would possibly have been OK if I wasn't trying to move years of files etc... over to a different system.

guys, here is how to switch, for good:

Had an imac for quite a few years now and after a short period of adjustment, ie not double clicking on stuff to open it, from the dock, i find it much better than a pc, by a long stretch. Really resistant to virus infection, though i also run norton for mac as a secondary protection.

Good luck with it craig, im sure you will get used to it, also they work great with all the other apple tat in the house  There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I went to MBP almost a year ago after programming and supporting networks on PC for 20years. I will never spend my personal money on a PC again. YMMV.


The gestures and two finger tap for 'command click' (right click becomes so natural you miss it when it's gone.

I administer 4 diff Linux and 2 Unix distros. Windows gets me swearing every time.

Stick with it. The links posted for PC-Mac are a great help

I happen to find it very logical Loving the battery charge length, just wanted to work out the copy & paste thing which thanks to you guys help i have now done

Thanks to you all for taking the time
