Speaking of computer problems - this time, Windows.
I have Win 7, and I hate...hate...HATE...the “LIBRARY” system. I can’t find $h/+ without extensive searching.
I seem to see the same folders/files in several locations.
What happened to the good ol’ “Folders and Files” system...I like it MUCH better.
You forgot to have half of your brain removed. Try it again after that and you’ll love it.
They gave bad advice that probably made you spend money you didn’t need to. Since it’s 6 years old it may have come with a OS DVD.
1. Start the Mac and insert the DVD.
2. cut the power and start it hold the C key or option key and have it boot from the DVD.
3. Run disk tools and repair the hard drive and permissions.
4. if that doesn’t fix it you will probably have to re-install the OS
If you don’t have System DVD try booting in safe mode (look it up) sometimes doing that alone will fix the problem and the next boot will be normal.
If I didn’t bother to denote where I wanted something saved or pay attention to where I last saved it, I just do a search from the libraries address bar. That goes much faster than searching from the start search bar.
I hate Win7 too.
My old standard WinXp is 100 times better and faster on simple files and folders management.
Yeah, Frank, what’s up with the Library thing? I don’t get it. I have the same problem you do. I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s like some kind of short cut? But not really? Anyway, I can’t find anything either with it although I’ll try the trick the kind poster suggested of searching within the library search.
If you know more about libraries than I do, which is nothing, please share.
