  1. Intro to Mac OS GSLIS Instructional Technology and Design

  2. First things first (you’ve probably already gotten this far) • Select Mac from the GSLIS OS picker • Login using your GSLIS username/password • Quota manager will alert you of your available disk space. Click “Thanks” • Your quota is the space allotted to you on the GSLIS file server

  3. Many names, the same thing 10.5 = Leopard • Mac OS > OS X > 10.6 = Snow Leopard 10.7 = Lion 10.8 = Mountain Lion

  4. What about Mountain Lion? • 10.8—the newest iteration of OS X • Does not yet cooperate with the GSLIS lab login system • Introduces a few new features • If you’ve recently purchased a new Mac, you probably have this on your machine

  5. Why use Mac? • The majority of GSLIS domain machines dual boot giving you the option to choose Windows XP or Mac OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard) • While most of the machines in GSLIS have been upgraded to use Windows 7, bugs are being ironed out, so Mac OS is the more stable of the two operating systems

  6. Meet your desktop

  7. The dock Functions similarly to the start menu in Windows. Keep frequently used programs here for quick access. Simply drag and drop programs to your dock to add, drag them off the dock to remove.

  8. Using spotlight to tweak your dock • Your default browser in OS X is Safari • You can quickly switch to Firefox by launching Firefox from spotlight, right-clicking on the application icon in your dock, and opting to keep it in your dock • Get rid of Safari by dragging it off your dock

  9. Minimized applications When you minimize a window in OS X, it shrinks into the dock. Bring it back to your desktop by clicking it again.
