i'm still figuring it out! maybe we can take an online class together!

My husband has a Mac too and he wants me to get one! I've been playing on his, but I'm not ready! My computer died so I have to make a choice. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I switched also this year but I love it and would never go back. When I got mine a friend told me to think about how a 1st grader would do it and try that. Her example was instead of multiple steps to save a photo just drag it to the picture folder.
I have some trouble at times finding the photos though and I am guessing that is your problem as well.
Side note.... the gym at our condo also uses WIndex. Luckily hardly anyone uses it!

BTDT

I had a PC until our school district went MAC. I have now had a MacBook for nearly a year and I cannot stand using the PC at home anymore. It is an adjustment, but I am so used to using the MAC for everything I do school related I am more used to that now.

How frustrating! I hope Luke can help. We need to play Words with Friends. Pretty sure my vocab is horrible.

I'm so sorry it's taking you a while with the MAC. It probably would have me too if I wouldn't have started at such a young age! I wish I was there to teach you! If you have a any questions, just call or text me!!

oh my goodness! You are not stupid. When I first...

2009-12-07T10:54:02.247-08:00

oh my goodness! You are not stupid. When I first got my Mac, I couldn't figure anything out. My sweet room mate helped me out, and I got the hang of it quickly! I felt so dumb since Macs are supposed to be like the most user friendly compared to PCs, but it did take some time!

Don't lose heart! You can do it :)

I can't imagine going from a PC to a Mac. I've heard that they are great, but just so different. It'll take me awhile to figure it out!

2009-12-07T10:26:11.988-08:00

I think I would have trouble adjusting too, I used my brother's mac a few times and was SO lost! Good luck!

2009-12-07T10:21:05.717-08:00

Aw, you will get it.
It took me a good week to figure things out but I am in LOVE with mine now. Madly in love... and I would never ever go back to a PC again. EVER!
*Hugs* and you can feel free to email me if you want to ask a question... I can see if I can help :)

Oh, girl.... you'll catch on. All it takes is ...

2009-12-07T09:40:19.187-08:00

Oh, girl.... you'll catch on. All it takes is a little time!!!!! In the meantime, we'll for sure be patient with ya, LOL :)

Ugh! I hate not knowing how to work stuff! I'm sure after a few weeks you'll have the whole Mac thing down pat!

2009-12-07T09:36:39.014-08:00

"He will probably show me how to import a song into an email which will help me in no way."

LOL

Don't worry, I promise once you adjust you will like it much better. Try and think SIMPLE - macs use less steps to do stuff than pcs, but it takes a while to figure out where stuff is, etc.

You'll get there!

2009-12-07T09:33:07.765-08:00

Did I mention I had a MAC for a week once?

Yeah, I didn't and you know why? Because I don't talk about those times. Ever. To anyone.

Even The Boy doesn't know that I had a Mac - and we were dating at the time.

My point is: yes, Macs are professional and fancy and expensive. BUT - they are not user friendly and if I can't get what I want to get done in a timely manner - FORGET IT.

But fortunately for you, you are not me and therefore you are going to figure it out more quickly because you have patience and don't act like a 2-year old when things don't go "your way."

I'm just saying.

Conquer that Mac....just so I know it can be done. Ok?

2009-12-07T09:03:43.502-08:00

The Apple Store and apple.com are incredibly helpful if Luke can't answer all of your questions. I would probably still be lost if I hadn't had those resources. Trust me, it takes a while to get used to a Mac after a pc, but once you get the hang of it, you will never want to go back!

oh no! you'll catch on soon I'm sure!!

2009-12-07T08:54:22.952-08:00

oh no! you'll catch on soon I'm sure!!

2009-12-07T08:44:21.992-08:00

I can't believe you are having so much trouble switching! But, I'd say skip the Luke-help desk and go straight to your nearest Apple store and take their Mac basics class. And if you don't want to do that, use the Mac website. There's tons of tutorials like "anatomy of a mac" and "move to mac" and "PC to Mac: The Basics." I think you'll catch on in no time, and in a few days, will realize how much more intuitive a Mac is! PC always steals Mac features and incorporates them a few years later!

Macs rule, PCs drool :)

Good luck!
