The computers, not the people!
No left clicking!
And most annoying of all, some of my programs just won't open.
I try to click their icons on the bottom of the screen and they just bounce up and down (non-sexually hehe) and never actually pop up (again non sexually).
I also access the applications via my desktop and try to click it in there to open it that way.... still to no avail.
Any ideas!!??
Please help!
I miss photoshop! =(


p.s. I can be a bit technologically retarded so I apologize if my descriptions in this post don't make so much sense....

I had to buy a Mac for school too, but I don't mind it so much.
I still have no idea how to completely use it. I'm just now learning all of the stupid shortcut keys and I've had it since the beginning of last semester.

I do love Photo Booth though. ^^

I love Mac's sorry your having trouble maybe I can help a little?
What kind of mac do you have?
If you miss left clicking you can just get a new mouse that supports left clicking, as long as it's USB it's fine.
What program are you trying to open?
If you look at the very top of left of your screen the application name should be up there. Just clicking the name of some applications can open them up. Unless you haven't installed them into your applications folder, if the program name isn't
showing up at all try dragging the icon into your applications folder and trying again.
*blinks* Adobe is compatible with macs... if its a purchasing problem you can download freeware Seashore is a pretty good photoshop clone.

I've got a macbook, and its great. The only problems I ever have with it are either universal programs (like Firefox) or, especially, Microsoft programs (Office Suite is way fucking slow). Other than that, I've got no problems. I don't know which you have, a desktop or a notebook, but either way there is absolutely left clicking. Granted, its not "left clicking" per se, but I'm sure that you're referring to the resulting function of the left click, that being the pop-up menu. If youve a notebook, just tap with 2 fingers, and if you use a desktop, well program it you lazy bum. As for the bouncing up and down with no result, there are many programs that will run in the background naturally (last.fm) and also many that you may have toggled to not open immediately (I have iTunes set to this). Basically, I think you need to scope out the customization in system settings and get the hotkeys down. The macbook of mine that I refer to is my first ever mac computer product, and it took me maybe a week to get fully used to it. After that short adjustment period, I have no real qualms with anything mac-related (COUGHCOUGHCOUGH WINDOWS COUGHCOUGH) and can't even begin to think about switching back. Give it some time.

If the program bounces up and down, then remove it from the dock. Find it on your hard drive/applications, and then drag it back into the dock. Chances are, your shortcut got messed up somehow; this should fix the problem.

Right click? It's simple, get a mouse that has a left and a right button. It'll work in OS X just like it does in Windows.
