Where can I find help on a Mac?



I thought it might worthwhile to put together a short film to show the different sources of support available on a Mac. As well as the support and guidance we can offer each other , it's handy to know where you can find answers quickly and efficiently. I thought I could also suggest a list of possible topics for the next demo. What would people like next? Leave a comment and I can adjust the running order in the light of your preferences. For the moment I suggest:

1. Capturing film from a camera and a webcam, and organising footage into events
2. Editing in IMovie
3. Sharing from Imovie to Youtube, Itunes and IDVD
4. Finding images and managing them in Iphoto

Or if you have any other ideas leave a comment with your suggestions.

Using IshowU to make demo films


I thought I would put an example of a demo film showing how to use Comic Life that I made using a program called IshowU. Basically, Ishowu makes a film of whatever you are doing on the computer and records a voiceover so you can explain as you do - it's quite a handy way of seeing how its done with the commentary (hopefully) making things clearer. In order for it to upload to the internet I made it quite small. What do we think? Helpful?

If this way of working does prove beneficial then we could make films in response to queries. So if you're struggling with something we can help overcome the difficulties.
