MacBook

[hautechild]

is there some kind of right click on the macbook?? thanx

On a macbook pro if you go to system preferences > trackpad > secondary click

 

[FASHIONLOVA]

thank u

actually i think i did it somehow since the options of a right click came out but i don t know how i did it...

 

[FASHIONLOVA]

ok i fixed it thank you

I hate that the corner of my macbook always broke. Already fixed one time but nothing to do

 

[boinquo]

hannah you can get that fixed for free at the apple store (pm me if you have a question).

- to the dude who needs to clean the macbook: use mr clean magic eraser
- yes you can right click

:-B

 

[FASHIONLOVA]

i fixed my click right options so now i can
i pretty much got the hang of it i just need to get photoshop and illustrator installed later this week since i need them for work

also one last question: i can' t copy pictures and post them somewhere else, all i get when i do paste is the link to the picture and not the picture itself even when i drag and drop
any idea how i can fix it???
thank you so much

↑ What do you mean by posting them somewhere else? Like, here on tFS, for example, just by pasting the image into the text box?

 

[FASHIONLOVA]

exactly or somewhere else

Does anyone know of a good free anti virus program I can download for my macbook pro?

 

[rayoflight]

Maybe you will like Sophos. I use it.

Or iAntivirus.

http://www.iantivirus.com/download/

Only thing that sux is that both are Mac specific virus guards, if you use both Mac and PC you might need to pay for BitDefender or Avast Mac versions. But so far my PC has caught nothing from my Mac, so that concern is more theoretical.

Thanks rayoflight! I'll try it out. I do use both Mac and PC...I love my PC more haha The mac is just for traveling and going to school

anti virus is just money wasted on any mac using OsX only.

Is that even possible? The exact same virus application directed at computers running Mac OS X can hardly attack a computer running Windows as well, even if they were running on the same computer (i.e. an Intel Mac). After all, OS X doesn't run Windows' .exe programs, while Windows can't execute .dmg files. And even if you downloaded an .exe file or some other file with possible maglinant data via the OS X portion of your computer which then found its way to infect your Windows, it wouldn't be any different than had you downloaded (intentionally or otherwise) that same file via the internet directly through Windows. Windows OSs must always be protected by anti-virus software, whether you have it running on an Intel Mac or a PC.

At any rate, I haven't even heard of working Mac OS X viruses. I've been actively using OS X Tiger and Snow Leopard without anti-virus software on the same computer close to three and a half years now without any issues with viruses or other malignant software.
