Case Space

fmsikid — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 03:52:53 +0000

Just something… the extra space in the case for the charger is a good place to keep something (pencils, erasers to name a few).

You never know when you need something and volia! It’s in the case!

First go to system prefrences, then click on accounts and change password. There will be a little key next to “new password” click on it, it will show you a password, delete that one and type in yours, there is a bar underneath, the better the password is, the more of the bar will be filled up.

Google Earth-Where It Starts

When you open Google Earth, it probably goes to where you can see the United States. If you want to change it so when you open it it goes to your house or something, what you do is go to the spot that you want to be your start, then go to Edit and scroll down to Snapshot View. It should make that where you start. Restart Google Earth to see if it works.

Surfing The Web and Taking Notes at The Same Time!

First, you have to open noteshare and open a new notebook, or an existing notebook (to add extra notes [if you want]). Then you press outline (on the top menu bar) and select new web entry. This should open an entry in a browser form. Now all you have to do is type in a URL and you can surf the web (exactly like safari) and type notes all on one program window without the hassle of changing from one program to another!

If you need music for a project you can record samples from the internet. All you have to do is play the online sample and record it into garage band. Make sure to site your source too.

Adding a picture to your log-in screen

First go to system preferences and click accounts and press picture. After this, press choose and find the picture you want and click it. Then you can fit the picture to your choosing and exit out. The picture should now be next to your name on the log in screen. You can also get downloading pictures. (you have to have a picture in one of your folders to do this trick)

Useful Trick- Put 2 fingers on the mouse pad and you can scroll up and down and horizontal across the page. If it doesn’t work, go to System Preferences and go to Keyboard and Mouse. Click on Trackpad and check the box under Trackpad Gestures.
