[Mac Tutorial] Misc Finder stuff

If you already use OS X or are thinking of switching or you are new to it, here is a tutorial about some easy things you can do in the Finder.


Q: What is the Finder?
A: The Finder is the Mac equivalent to Windows Explorer. It is the application that allows you to see you Desktop, the folders and files on your hard drive, and your Menu Bar.





Finder Shoutcuts

If you're in the Finder press Command (Apple Key) +Shift+C. You have now just opened up your Computer folder.
Press Command+Shift+A. Now your Applications folder is open.

For a full list of shortcuts, hit Go in the Menubar. You will get this menu:



Also under the Go menu you will see "Go to Folder."

This will bring up a promt that will ask for a Folder name. Type it exactly and it will take you there. The shortcut for this is Command+Shift+G.

Note: You have to type in the path the the folder to get to it.
The initial screen:

The way you type in your folder path:

The result:

Note: The picture is all my friends on Prom night


View Options

You can just the way you view different things in the Finder. It is very simple. Simply right click (or Control (ctrl) click.) and go to View Options.



The result looks different when you do this on a normal folder and on the desktop.

Desktop:


And a normal folder:


As you can see all the options on here all are straight forward.



The final tip I will share with you is how to clean up some messy icons. Just click View->Clean up.


Before:


After:



Well I hope this helped some one. If you have any questions or comments, post and let me know

He's right. I never used a Mac before my senior year. I never even touched a Mac before then but I had to learn Mac for my class I was in. I never expected to have to use one either.
