96 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
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
on “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 54.
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 an external monitor port and adapters for connecting
many commonly used monitors, TVs, and video displays. If your device has a connector
that is different from the external monitor port on your PowerBook, you need to attach
an adapter to connect it to the port. To see the adapters included with your
PowerBook, see page 5. For more information about connecting displays and other
devices, see “External Video Support (DVI, VGA, and S-Video)” on page 45.
I forgot my password. How do I reset it?
To reset your password, start up from the software install and restore disc that came
with your computer. Once the Installer program opens, choose Installer > Reset
Password from the menu bar. Follow the instructions on the screen.
Warning: Inserting a nonstandard disc into the optical drive may damage the drive.
