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: " + ⌘"
• That means you press  and then while still holding  you also press ⌘
• 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: " + ⌘"
• 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
