Help make the transition from windows to mac :)
It is finished! After a lot of thought and doubt, I want to try switching to a Mac and check for myself all these rave reviews about the Apple company I disliked. For 3 weeks now I have a Macbook Pro Retina in a box, which was brought to me from America, and I keep postponing debriefing, because I am afraid that the transition will be dreary and long. Yes, I already opened the box once, when a friend came to me and wondered why I hadn’t looked into it yet. After poking around for an hour, I could not immediately figure out whether the old one became, or the habit of Windows takes its toll.
On the Internet, as you know, there is too much left-hand information. Therefore, I will be glad if gentlemen Makovody answer a few questions or add links to useful articles and normal resources.
Here is a short list of questions:
1. Where to get software for poppy with tablets? First of all you need Lightroom and Premier.
2. Is there a free version of Photoshop for the poppy? The one where there is only the basic is also suitable, I use few functions..
3. Is there a file manager like Total Commander or you don't need it here?
4. What is the name of the ftp manager?
5. Is there an Office for a poppy or just install it through Windows emulation?
6. Is there an analogue of Denwer?
7. WebMoney Keeper only through emulation?
8. Is there a list of the most useful Mac programs I need to know.?
9. Why some programs are installed from the Apple Store, while others are downloaded as a file?
10. How to close in one click an application that is deployed in full screen? And why does it turn into a separate desktop? There is something in my mind about windows and how to use them..
11. What are the disadvantages of a Retina display? Once I read that the sites will be too small, or some programs, but I have not seen something like this yet.
12. There is some competent FAQ on the network about the main differences after Windows, in order to immediately understand what is what after switching on, and make the transition as fast as possible?
The last question is one of the most pressing, because I don't understand how to use it properly. How to copy files from folder to folder, and indeed where is the hard drive and how to see the folder structure with the remaining space. Everything in Finder’food? With the programs, too, not everything is clear, I seem to know that there is no installation, but I downloaded firefox, threw it into Programs (he asked for it himself), but for some reason a strange icon appeared on the desktop, and then it just disappeared ... I did not understand by what principle the shortcuts are placed in the Dock, and why Launch is needed, from which the shortcuts jump to the Dock. And there are actually a million such questions! Desktops, hot buttons, extra buttons on the keyboard, widgets, settings ...
I am sure that everything should already be written on the net and put together, because it is unlikely that someone here will chew all these little things for me. So, who knows where you can read everything in one place, pliz, post the link.
P.S. I am not a stupid user, assembling and disassembling computers, reinstalling Windows, at the computer since 1997 ...
