People and user of Mac or PC system do make mistakes, eventhough they are new or had been using their new and old Mac and PC system. A few type of mistake that might made by user mentioned on an unofficial Apple Weblog on Common Mistakes Made by New Mac Users and a list of top 30 list of mistake made by Mac new user by The Warne Account.
The top 30 mistake listed out here, there might be one or two that you are experiencing on using Mac if you are a new Mac User. Mistakes can be easyly made as long as you learn from your mistake.
Here’s a list of the Mistake Made by New Mac User that is credited to Warne Account for listing it out on their weblog. Most of the listed are precis base on Warne, TUAW and their user comments on.
1. Closing an application window, thinking it has quit.
2. Downloading an app and running it from the disk image.
3. Creating endless untitled folders
4. Using Safari’s Google search to get to a website
5. Confusing the concept of wallpaper with screensaver
6. Double-clicking a window thinking it will maximise it, but instead sending it to the dock
7. Not understanding the usefulness of column view and leaving everything in icon view
8. Not using any keyboard shortcuts
9. Thinking that now they’ve got rid of Windows they won’t have problems of _any_ sort on their Mac
10. Renaming desktop icons to random characters because they don’t understand the difference between the enter and the return key on Mac. (Enter puts an icon into rename mode).
11. People trying to find the menus on a window, not realising they’re always at the top of the screen
12. Trying to resize windows from the edge rather than the drag area on the corner
13. Trying to use the CTRL key rather than CMD key for shortcuts.
14. Thinking it’ll be easy to get a stuck CD out.
15. Installing a program every time they want to run it because they think the installer _is_ the program.
16. Where’s “the internet� (looking for the Windows Internet Explorer “e†icon)
17. Repeatedly hitting the Apple key expecting the Apple menu to pop up (confused with Windows Key and Start Menu concept)
18. Thinking the green “+†button maximises a window to full screen (not realising that Apple’s maximise philosophy is to only make a window as big as it needs to be to comfortably fit the width of content currently being displayed)
19. Looking in vain for an uninstaller app, because they don’t realise that uninstalling an application on Mac is as easy as dragging the program icon into the trash.
20. Minimising windows all the time rather than using “hideâ€, leaving the document section of the doc littered with forgotten minimised windows (that are quietly occupying system resources).
The rest of another 10 list, i would recommend that you to read more on their blogs, Warne and TUAW. Credit and thanks them for sharing the post.
