Hi all. Yes, I bought an imac last friday. So far, I love it. it's amazing how fast it is to get things done, and*most* things work fine.
I have my phone sinced with iCal and address book, been doing a bit of web brouzing with safari, used front roe, gotten voice over saving my settings on a usb drive, all the usual stuff. I still need to add my music to iTunes though. most of the ID3 tags in my mp3s are messed up. some of them have both the artist and title duplicated in both the artist and title fields. I'll have to run them through mp3 tag studio on windows first as nearly all the file names are done as artist - title.mp3, so that should sort mmost things out. . But can itunes fill in all the other tags? one thing I can't get to work is e-mail. I've switched both my phone and pc to imap with no problems at all. but the mac doesn't want to know. the incoming server has an invalid certificate and it can't connect to the smtp server. it's really frustrating. I have e-mailed the tech support guys so they should hopefully have an answer. I still keep forgetting how the cursor works. I understand what's happening, I just keep reverting to windows habbits. I'll get it eventually. then I'll be expecting windows to behave like the mac. While editing text on a webpage, say in a reply on a message board, the home and end keys don't seem to do what they're supposed to do. also, if I do vo shift m to bring up the menu of misspelled words, it clicks on the wrong word. do I have to move the vo cursor onto the word I want to change? I was just using the arrow keys before. is there a command to read the current time rather than hopping over to the status menus? I know it's possible. To whoever it was who uses XMarks on the mac, did you try it on snow leopard? I downloaded the snow leopard package, ran it and it says that it requires leopard. I'm running 10.6.1. I'll also need to get it to write to ntfs drives, say if I want to copy some music I bought in itunes over to my windows machine,. I'm planning on buying superdooper or whatever it's called. that sounds like a fantastic backup solution. Finally, has anyone had any luck using the dashboard? I can bring up the different widgets ok, they're just confusing to wirk with. particularly the weather one. I'm sure I'll come up with more questions to keep you lot busy. :) so like I said, if it wasn't for it not playing ball with my e-mail provider, I'd be totally happy and for most things, I can see myself using the mac exclusively.
