Just click on the Settings icon in the Dock (looks like the iPhone settings icon)

Then, go to mouse settings ;)

Yeah Macs are very easy to setup including 3rd party products, even many unsupported ones. For example, it took me less than a minute to connect to the Internet on my Mac using BlueTooth and my Japanese Sharp 3.5G phone.
Easy as pie :), no extra drivers or nonsense to install.

BTW it's the iPhone settings icon which looks like the Mac OSX Settings icon :).

Hold down the Alt key while clicking on the itunes app it'll ask you to browse to the external drive for your old itunes lib.
 
BTW sorry for OT, but iGetter (the shareware Mac file download manager) seems to be
an exact copy of Windows' freeware Free Download Manager. Its quite remarkable.

Select the iTunes window, this activates the 'iTunes' menubar in the finder bar.

Just go File> add to library to copy all your music to the mac.

If you want to keep the Library on another disk(fat32 or HFS) just go iTunes>preferences>advanced>change and select the disk you would like to use as a library.

Rather get your internet sorted and run software update to get the latest iTunes, and patches etc.

Thx, I think the internet is sorted. I am surfing on it now. Just pm'd MaryJane, she said she would be able to help with the email as she did it recently as well.

I am hesitant to download the new iTunes, as I dont know it Pwnage works with it yet? fxit - do you know? I know all the newer versions of iTunes obstruct the pwnage?

Whenever you work with an application the menus appear on top(menu bar).

eg.

Click on desktop> 'finder' menu appears in the menubar.
Click on iTunes to activate it's window> 'iTunes' menu appears on top where the 'finder' menu was.

This is where you get 'File', 'Edit' etc.
