Chapter 1 Getting Started 15

You should hear a startup tone when you turn on the computer. It takes the computer

a few moments to start up.

2 Use your PowerBook trackpad to select and move items on the screen, much as you

use a mouse with a desktop computer.

Â To move the arrow pointer on the screen, slide your finger across the trackpad.

Important: Use only one finger on the trackpad to move the pointer; the pointer

won’t move if you use two or more fingers on it. (The trackpad is designed to allow

scrolling when you use two adjoining fingers and the scrolling feature is turned on.

See “Using the Trackpad” on page 24 for more information.)

Problems Turning the Computer On?

Nothing happens when you press the Power button.

Â The battery may be drained. Make sure that you plugged the power adapter firmly

into both the computer and a power source. The plug should light when you plug

it into the computer.

Â If the computer still doesn’t start up, see “Problems That Prevent You From Using

Your Computer” on page 61.

You see a picture of a disk or a folder with a blinking question mark.

Â This icon usually means that the computer can’t find system software on the hard

disk or any disks attached to the computer. Try restarting. Hold down the Power

button for 4 to 5 seconds until the computer turns off. Then press the Power button

again. If the problem persists, you may need to reinstall system software. See

“Reinstalling the Software That Came With Your Computer” on page 65.
