94 Appendix D Top Ten Questions
How does the Mac OS X interface work?
Users new to Mac OS X often have questions about how to carry out certain tasks. Your
best source for Mac OS X information is Mac OS Help. You’ll find introductory
explanations for new users, users switching from Windows computers, and users
upgrading from Mac OS 9. Open Mac OS Help by choosing Help > Mac Help from the
Help menu in the Finder menu bar at the top of your screen, and browse the new user
information listed there. Many of the basic tasks users are interested in involve the
Finder, so try searching for “Finder,” too.
How do I make my PowerBook battery last longer?
You can conserve battery power by using the Energy Saver preference pane to specify
how quickly the computer should go to sleep or dim the display. Open System
Preferences and click the Energy Saver icon. Choose settings that are optimized for
your type of usage. Using peripheral devices, such as hard disk drives, that get power
from your computer can also shorten the amount of time your battery lasts. You can
conserve battery power by disconnecting such devices. You can also purchase an
additional battery that you can switch into your computer when power gets low. For
more information about conserving battery power, see “Battery-Conservation Tips” on
page 51.
I put a disc in my optical drive, but nothing happened. How do I know if the
disc is compatible with my optical drive?
Press the Media Eject (C) key to eject the disc. Apple slot-loading optical drives support
only round 12 cm discs. Nonstandard discs with noncircular shapes do not work in the
optical drive. For more information about nonstandard discs, check the AppleCare
Knowledge Base at www.apple.com/support.
How do I connect a monitor or TV to my PowerBook?
Your PowerBook comes with both a Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter and Mini-DVI to VGA
Adapter, which allows you to connect to almost any projector, monitor, or flat-panel
display. To connect to a television via composite or S-video, you can purchase the
Mini-DVI to Video Adapter. To see the adapters included with your PowerBook, see
page 5. For more information about connecting displays and other devices, see
page 43.
I forgot my password. How do I reset it?
You can reset your administrator password. See the instructions for resetting your
password on page 63.
Warning: Inserting a nonstandard disc into the optical drive may damage the drive.
