First... where do you take notes for a lecture like this?

• ...and why does John only teach things "once"?
• ..and what do you do if you need help during independent work time?
• Turning the Computer On & Off [redux]
  • SPACEBAR to see if it is already on
  • Power On if needed with the Power Button in the back left - ONE single push
  • LOGOUT with  | Log Out Period...
  • SHUTDOWN with  | Shut Down...
• General
• Hardware vs. Software vs Data
• Where things are stored & how we find them
• Spotlight & Finder
• Online vs. Offline & version control
The computers  USED TO  RESET every night

• Everything on the desktop and in documents was DELETED
• All settings were reset
• Only the "Period Drive" was not deleted
NOW, in the new system, you are simply locked out of things that you are not supposed to change
• You can now save things on the computer
• REMEMBER that anyone can sit down and log into this period and see/change/delete your files [seldom happens]
• We will save ALL important files to our GOOGLE DRIVE
Moving and copying files
• OSX (the Mac Operating System) has rules for moving and copying
• NOTE: a DRIVE is a Disk Drive, a physical piece of hardware  
• Dragging a file around on the SAME DRIVE the default behavior is to MOVE
• Dragging a file between DIFFERENT DRIVES the default is to COPY - that is what happens with a flash drive by default
• You can FORCE the opposite action to happen:
• To force a MOVE between drives hold down Command (⌘) while dragging and dropping
• To force a COPY on the same drive hold down Option while dragging and dropping
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 things in because you can SORT by clicking on the columns
• 
SPOTLIGHT let's you SEARCH for a file or Application

 
File NAMES and EXTENSIONS
• There are FEW limits on what a file can be named but "/", ":" and other  special characters are usually NOT allowed
• File EXTENSIONS tell the computer what program to use to work with that type of file
• Big List of File Types/Extensions
• BIGGER List of File Types
• Top 15
• .doc/x = Microsoft Word Document
• .pages = Pages Document
• .txt = Plain Text File
• .csv = Comma Separated Values File
• .key = Keynote Presentation
• .vcf = vCard File - Address Book File
• .flv = Flash Video File
• .mp3 = MP3 Audio File
• .m4v = iTunes Video File - SAME AS MP4
• .mp4 = MPEG-4 Video File - SAME AS M4V
• .mov = Apple QuickTime Movie
• .jpg = JPEG Image
• .png = Portable Network Graphic
• .psd = Adobe Photoshop Document
• .pdf = Portable Document Format File
KEYS
• Control vs Option vs Apple/Command
• Mac Key combinations vs Windows
• When we say "Command" on the Mac it would be "Control" on a PC
• Key combinations are pressed and held sequentially and then released all at once
• Command+C=Copy
• Command+X=Cut (and delete if you paste)
• Command+V=Paste
• Some key combinations work before you release them (!!!)
• Let's try "⌘+TAB" - what does it do?
• Look what it does on John's computer with more things open at once
• NOW what does it do?
• Some key combinations open a menu or begin a process 
• Now try "⌘+Shift+4" - what did THAT do?
• What happens if you use 3 instead of 4?
• Try "Command + F" - what did it do? 
• What does  "⌘ + P" do?
MENUS
• Menus are at the TOP of the SCREEN and CHANGE depending on which program has FOCUS
• They 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: "EDIT | FIND"
• REMEMBER: Menus CHANGE depending on the program that is in front (so always check THAT before you ask a question)
• Use "⌘+TAB" to cycle programs and place the focus where you want it.
