Hello, There are no dumb questions if you don't ask them. You won't know until you do ask. To add an app to the Dock, press cmd+shift+T when you are focused on the name of the app. As for Google and Safari, make sure you are clicking on the link and not the result button. I'm not sure what

Hello, if you search for something, when the HTMl area loads, you can then move by header. It may be the way I have my iTunes set up, but I don't think so. I hear, iPhones Apps, iPad Apps, Songs, Albums, etc. Hope this helps, Harry On Dec 29, 2012, at 1:53 PM, Sarai Bucciarelli
