You are right. Since, I really do not see any thumbnail file on the drive.

Apple's trackpad is the best trackpad I've ever used. I've always hated using trackpads, until I bought my first Mac.

If you continue to use it, you will found that the pixels of fonts on mac to windows are totally different.
And ability to write advanced macro in excel is removed. Too many sad things in office 2011.

I second that.

The gestures are awesome.

But sometimes people will ask me how do I use the trackpad because it does not have button lol.

The Mac changed everything I know about trackpads. From atrocious to actually usable and fun. The gestures make everything fast and fluid.

Returning to using my work laptop without a mouse now requires tremendous hair-pulling effort

I know lol and using trackpad on other laptops hurts my hand.

I need some advise to save my macbook pro.

I installed both Windows and Mac OS in my macbook pro (edition 2010).
The HDD capacity 369.37GB is divided into half for each operating system.

But, recently, when I on my mac, it shows ' Your startup disk is full'. I noticed my Mac OS 184.68GB capacity suddenly left with 115.4MB. I moved all my photos, movies and songs to an external hdd. But, the free capacity did not improved.

I followed some web guidelines to install OmniDiskSweeper and realised my name sparsebundle has taken up 170GB. I wondered how to save my macbook

FYI, I never maintain my macbook in terms of its capacity throughout this 3 years. Please advise.

that looks like backup from your timemachine backup software. Open them up and clear all of them. Then do a fresh new backup.

if you have difficulty removing it, you might need to use commandline to do it. Google for "removing sparsebundle bands" and you will see a few sites with instructions how to do it.

also..would like to tell everyone, I am 90% decided to go back to windows. While it has been a fun few weeks with os x, I am not seeing the advantage of using osx over windows. Everything that osx can do windows also can do and better too. Osx also have it's advantages too but for my requirement, windows out-weight osx.

The question that made me decided to go back is this:
Can I live with osx (without windows vm or dualboot)? Answer is NO.
Can I live with windows (without osx vm or dualboot)? Answer is YES.

here is another compilation of PC and Mac shortcuts in one place, geared towards finance/accounting use http://www.corporatefinanceinstitute.com/e...hortcuts-pc-mac seems most of them are more or less the same... what else is there besides the ones on this link??

I hv same thought as you
Will go back to Windows when dell launch the latest XPS13 in late Dec 2016

May I know what are the things that Windows out-weight OSX for your requirement?

OSX install Windows VM is very easy, why is that the deciding factor?

May I know if there is a way to delete things in Mac quickly like windows?

my thought why Windows better

1. cut/copy and paste windows better
2. hidden folder not appear in OSX menu and need to use terminal command to do it
3. some program like acestream, splayer and several other is not able to run on OSX which is good for streaming and movie

more to explore as still quite new to OSX

2.
You can make it easier.

command+delete throws the file into trash
shift+command+delete is the short cut to empty trash
command+option+delete permanently deletes the file (bypasses the above)

im new to mac too...but still deciding to buy which..macbook or macbook pro 13inch...same price too...lol

If you're intending to run a few graphic-intensive programs, then MacBook Pro. If you're referring to the 12" MacBook, then it's ideal if you're a light power user that uses it to run basic softwares.

1. Why is cut and paste better in windows?
2. Just 1 time only? Then you got hidden files?
3. If's it illegal one, then I have no comment, since I just torrent or use streaming websites.
If it's just for playing videos, I use MPV player which works really well and can set up to stream Twitch too


If you can wait, wait for the upcoming macbook pro 13 inch.. Gonna be a refresh with new features.
Personally, I feel that Macbook is too small for my uses.. since I am using rmbp 13 inch and it lags for me..

1. drop down menu has cut option while OSX dont hv. somemore if use keyboard additional one button to press
2. i use to need hidden and unhide for some of my work
3. all legal apps but not supported in OSX for streaming live football free
