Mac Book Pro Tips and Tricks

In this blog I will explain about the Mac Book Pro and his tricks n tips.

 
The MacBook Pro is a laptop manufactured by Apple. The MacBook Pro is a durable, high-end laptop that costs a pretty penny so, chances are, you'll probably want to protect your investment. There are some tips and tricks specific to the MacBook Pro that will help you get the most out of your new computer.

1. Clicking with the Touch Pad on Older MacBook Pros

   • The MacBook and MacBook Pro touch pads feature intuitive multi-touch gestures that allow you to do much more with the track pad than in the past. Many PCs offer the ability to simply tap the track pad to click with the mouse. MacBook and MacBook Pro laptops before 2009 can do this, it's just disabled by default. To enable this feature, simply go to "System Preferences", "Keyboard & Mouse", then "Trackpad". Here you will find an option to enable clicking with the trackpad. When you do so you will also be able to right-click by tapping the track pad with two fingers at once. With newer model MacBook Pro laptops the entire track pad is a button, meaning clicking is available by default.

   Common Track Pad Finger Gestures

   • With its advanced track pad, the MacBook Pro offers many gestures you can do on the track pad to get various results. For example, moving your finger across the track pad faster will make the cursor go farther across the screen than moving your fingers slowly across the pad will. You can easily scroll with the track pad by dragging two fingers up, down left or right in the direction you'd like to scroll. Many documents and programs allow zooming, which can be done by making a pinching motion on the track pad. To zoom out, simply do the same motion in reverse. Rotating two fingers on the track pad, like turning a knob, allows you to rotate some documents.

   Tips on Installing More Memory

   • With the MacBook Pro, depending on your current setup, you may be able to install more memory. Doing so can make your computer operate faster in everything from turning on, opening and running programs to surfing the Internet and playing computer games.
