Mac 101 - Using the Computers

What is what and... how John writes instructions

• KEYS
• Keys you press are written in quotes like this: "⌘"
• If you need to press multiple keys they will have + signs like this: "control + ⌘"
• That means you press "Control" and then while still holding "control" you also press "⌘"
• Let's try "⌘+TAB" - what does it do?
• Now try "⌘+Shift+4" - what did THAT do?
• The "Command" key on a Mac is kind of like the "Control" key on a PC.  Try "Command+F" - what did it do?
• MENUS
• Menus are at the TOP of the SCREEN and usually say things like "File" and "Edit" and "View"
• If you need to press multiple menu items they will have "|" [bar] signs between them like this: " | ⌘"
• Menus CHANGE depending on the program that is in front (so always check THAT before you ask a question)
• Use "⌘+TAB" to cycle programs 
• Turning the Computer On & Off
• ON with the Power Button
• OFF with  " | Shut Down..."
• The computers RESET every night
• Everything on the desktop and in documents is DELETED
• All settings are reset
• Only the "Student Drive" is not deleted
• The "Student Drive"
• Upper RIGHT CORNER of your desktop
• Is NOT backed up
• Students should have a FLASH DRIVE in order to keep their digital work safe
• The FINDER is your friend! 
• The FINDER is how you view the files where they are physically stored on the hard drive.
• The finder has VIEWS and SORTS
• 
• The LIST VIEW is the easiest to find thinks in because you can SORT by clicking on the columns
• 
• SPOTLIGHT let's you SEARCH for a file or Application
• 
• Moving and copying files
• OSX (the Mac Operating System) has rules for moving and copying
• On the SAME DRIVE the default is to MOVE
• On DIFFERENT DRIVES the default is to COPY
• To force a MOVE between drives hold down Command (⌘) while dragging and dripping
• To force a COPY on the same drive hold down Option while dragging and dropping
