So, I bought my first Mac on Friday, a Macbook for college. I'm having some problems, most are just little things, but frustrating nonetheless.
I can't get it to connect to internet. There's no wireless at my house, so I am using a cable modem. I tried the Network Assistant, but I have no idea how to find out the DHCP client ID. Do I just have to call my ISP? Or is there another way I can figure it out? I tried doing it as LAN, because that's actually how my PC defines the connection, and put in all the subnet, router, DNS hosts, but that didn't work either.
Also, once I am able to connect to wireless up at school, will I have to set anything up? Or, since Airport is already in the Macbook, does it just find it?
iTunes is acting a bit funny...when I put in CDs, it doesn't automatically put in the names of the songs, artist, & album. On Windows, it did come up...I thought this information was imbedded into the CDs...does Mac just not read it? Also, on 2 CDs so far, when trying to Import, iTunes just gets stuck on one song and cannot finish importing the CD. I am very much into my music, so this is getting on my nerves.
This morning, when I turned my Macbook on, the iSight Camera would not turn on. I tried to open iPhoto, but it kept saying that there was no camera connected or something. ??? It was working fine before.
And one more thing, which is probably going to seem really silly, how do you adjust the size of an open application, besides clicking the + button? Is there a way?
Thanks in advance!
