Safari opens a website according to the size the webmaster intended it to be viewed typically 800x600 resolution is the defaults, if you want to make the safari window to fill the entirety of your screen, look at the bottom right of the safari window right below the vertical scroller, you can adjust that.

erm.. i think it should be normal.. because it is aluminium.. and it takes a short while to cool down too..
as a new mac user.. it is something that we hardly get used to it when we moved from PC that Mac way of maximize stuff is like tat but there is way to tweak it, one way is using Divvy which is not free.. but there are several ways to do.. i forgot d.. hv to google..

a few more things that u will realize soon are:
1) the delete = backspace... to use delete in mac.. must press FN + delete
2) there is no CUT in mac, got copy only..
3) no CTRL + F5 / F5 to refresh, just Cmd + Shift + R / Cmd + R

erm.. thats what i can think of at the moment.. i m new mac user since May too

Safari cannot go fullscreen. try use alternative..Google chrome is good( can full screen ).

you can download the free trial from apple website.

Hi,

What do you guys mean when you say there's no full screen on Safari? Mine looks like this.



Have you tried clicking on the three diagonal lines at the bottom right of the window and dragging it all the way to fit your screen?

There are also reasons as to why Apple did not implement the full-screen feature... useful to me for multitasking and drag-and-drop feature...

@Moutzu, try going to system preferences-->trackpad. Under the One Finger section check Tap to click and Dragging. Now go to Safari, double tap on the three diagonal lines and drag. When double tapping make sure you don't let go after the second tap. Which means tap once, tap twice and drag straight away without letting go.

i think you should really go through this page first http://www.apple.com/mac/ the tutorials section is very useful even teaches you to set the expose options and such.

What is zagg? I'm also experiencing the same thing. 'Electrical shock' thru the edges of my MBP.

@Moutzu Why don't you try downloading and using Open Office as well as Google Docs first? That's what I'm doing. Getting by fine. No need to pay money for either iWork or MS Office.

Just installed a Corsair 240GB SSD into my 15" MacBook Pro. Very impressed with the speed. Previously I was using Seagate Momentus XT which was already a step up from the stock 500GB internal HD.

Unlike Windows-based systems, MAC OS does not come with an Add/Remove Programs feature that will help you uninstall programs on Mac. However, it is quite simple to uninstall applications on MAC OS; you just move the application to the trash bin. Doing this, however, does not completely take care of uninstalling programs on Mac.

To understand why, you need to know that programs on Mac computers are of two types; the bundled programs, which can be uninstalled just by moving them to the Trash bin, and the non-bundled programs, which can be uninstalled using the same method, but additional manual work is required to clean up after them. Many programs leave behind settings and other small files that continue to take up space on your hard drive. These must be cleared out as well to ensure that you efficiently uninstall programs on Mac.

Removing the program preferences, shortcuts, and support files that were installed along with the program is a manual process in your Mac. If you do not want to be bothered with all this, it is best to use third-party uninstaller tools to uninstall both the non-bundled programs on Mac and clear associated files from your hard disk at the same time. Some of these tools are easy to use and come with search features that let you view a list of programs from which you can select the ones you want to delete, similar to the Windows Add/Remove Programs tool. While considering third-party tools for this purpose, do a search for freeware and open source tools. Some of these tools achieve excellent results and help you uninstall programs on Mac without draining your wallet.

Here are some third-party uninstallers for your Mac, and their features:

AppCleaner Uninstaller Software (Freeware)
AppTrap Uninstaller Software (Open Source Freeware)
AppZapper Uninstaller Software (Not Freeware)
