Post: Renewed Mac user, two questions
Posted by Christy on 5/14/08
Hi, I started computer with an Apple IIGS, then MacLC's -
all in my classroom. Then the district went to all PC's. I
finally decided to get myself and laptop, and bought a
MacBook. You all seem like nice folks, and I hope you can
help. Question 1: On the old PC laptop I had that was
assigned by the school, I had to download AOL Instant
Messenger to use it. When I went to AOL to get if for my
Mac, it just started right up and asked for my screen name,
so, thought I was surprised I didn't have to download, I
went ahead and used it. I tried chatting in our test
preparation group, but it kept doing weird things, like
showing me as a ghost (someone else's description, I
thought I was still there and my messages just weren't
going through), and just putting my name over and over with
no message. I tried logging out and in several times with
no success. Someone suggested I download AIM again. When I
went back to do that, I found there is a special MAC
version, but when I started the download, it warned: This
is an application. Are you sure you want to download it?,
so I didn't because I wanted to be sure it was OK. All the
tech people I know are PC users and I didn't think they
could help. I've gotten help here before, so I though I'd
give it a try. Question 2: (very stupid, I know) I took my laptop to
school so they could set it up to connect there. They
needed my user name and password. I tried a few things, but
it never worked. I THINK I was using the wrong user name,
but what if I turn my laptop off and can't remember my user
name and password. I've been afraid to turn it off since
then. Thanks in advance for any help for this "renewed" Mac user.
