Mac Basic Tutorial



The Dock Station is used as a quick short cut to access applications. when an application is open, the Dock displays an illuminated dash beneath the application's icon. To make any currently running application the active one.




The Finder is the first thing that you see when your Mac finishes starting up. It opens automatically and stays open as you use other apps. It includes the Finder menu bar at the top of the screen and the desktop below that. It uses windows and icons to show you the contents of your Mac, iCloud drive, and other storage devices. It's called the Finder because it helps you to find and organize your files.



The system preferences application is found in your Applications folder and is also available at any time from the Apple menu at the top-left of the screen (click the Apple logo). It may also be in your Dock at the bottom of the screen - it looks like the icon in the image above.





By default, items in Launchpad are in alphabetical order. You can re-arrange icons on Launchpad by dragging them in the order you want.
If there's not enough room to show all of your apps on one screen, Launchpad creates multiple pages. The dots at the bottom of the Launchpad screen show you how many pages of apps there are, and which page you are currently viewing.
