Yah; I have had an iPhone and a MacBook Pro for about a year, but got stuck and didn't quite know where to turn. Recently, I got a MacAir instead of the Pro, as it is much lighter and has the same keyboard as the Pro. I got the 11 inch model, it is really sweet and easy for travel. I'm afraid I don't even know all the finder commands. I have been laboriously sledgehammering my way through all this with very few shortcuts, so some of my questions are very, and I do mean very basic! But learning about cmd-shift-c is amazingly wonderful! What does cmd-downarrow do in the save dialogue box?
I'll stop thanking people for putting up with my questions, but I can't share enough how much I've appreciated this list and learned from it in just one day!
