Mac OS X Lion – Level 1

Welcome to PCM Courseware! PCM Course is a distinctive, flexible system for an instructor-led environment that facilitates learning via auditory, visual and hands-on experiences by each student. The manual is broken down into several lessons with each lesson subdivided into several sections. Each section covers a particular skill or concept related to the main lesson topic. In each section you will find:

1. A brief introduction to the section concept 2. Step-by-step “how to” instructions

3. A hands-on “Let’s Try It” exercise which the students performs with the instructor

4. Chapter summary, summarizing the main topics covered in the chapter 5. Chapter quiz

6. An independent “On Your Own” activity at the end of each lesson to identify any problem areas and to ensure that learning has taken place. Rather than having to sift through blocks of paragraphs of written text, the

introductions are brief and easy to understand, illustrated with diagrams, lists, tables and screen shots to aid in comprehension and retention. The step-by-step format of the manual enables for quick scanning by the instructor during teaching time and the ability to pull out the main points quickly without having to filter the desired

information from chunks of text.

Course Requirements

This course assumes no previous experienced with personal computers, using a mouse or the Macintosh operating system. These concepts will be covered during this course.

A full installation of Macintosh OS X should be available on each desktop, with a fresh installation strongly encouraged. In order to complete some of the lessons in the “Using Internet Tools” chapter, an active Internet connection is required. Each student will need a blank CD in order to complete the Burn Folder lesson.

Components of the Manual

The Macintosh OS X manual contains the following components:

A Table of Contents - to allow the students to quickly find desired concepts

Introduction – discussion of manual components, course requirements, courseware philosophy and training lab setup.

Lessons – The lessons are the manual chapters, each of which is composed of several sections relating to the lesson topic or skill.

Sections – Each section begins with a brief introduction to the section topic and is

followed by step-by-step instructions on how the student is to accomplish a

particular task. The students then perform the task with the instructor in a “Let’s Do

It!” exercise. Each step in the Let’s Do It exercise provides the How (step-by-step)

and Why (the reason for performing the step) of each phase necessary to accomplish the task.

Labs – Each section concludes with an independent “On Your Own” exercise called a Lab. The lab gives the opportunity for the student to practice what he/she has learned and to discover any problem areas with the topic in the section. Each lab covers skills in each section of the lesson.

Chapter Summary – Each section concludes with a “Chapter Summary” which briefly reviews all of the topics and concepts discussed in the section.

Chapter Quiz – Each section concludes with an independent “Chapter Quiz” to test the level of learning that has taken place. The quiz is in multiple choice and short answer format and can be done in class together or as an end of chapter test.

Class Project – The course concludes with an independent “Class Project” to test the level of learning that has taken place. In this project, the student utilizes skills learned throughout the class.

Index - to allow the students to quickly find desired concepts

Training Files

Each PCM Courseware course comes with a set of lesson files and lab files designed to employ real-world situations and examples. The lesson files are designed to be used in the Let’s Do It! exercises that the student performs with the instructor. The lab files are to be used for the On Your Own exercises at the end of each Lesson. Both the lesson files and lab files should be stored in a folder on the student’s Desktop

1.1 Operating System Basics

In this lesson, we will learn the basics of an Operating System

elcome to Apple’s latest operating system, Mac OS 10.7 Lion! Before we begin to work with the Macintosh, it is helpful to understand what exactly Mac OS X is and what it does. Mac OS X marks the beginning of the next generation of Macintosh operating system, incorporating an innovative new look and feel. It represents one of the most significant upgrades Apple has made to the Macintosh Operating System.

First it is important to understand what an Operating System does. An Operating System is a software program that controls just about everything your computer does, such as:

• Controls the application programs that run on your computer • Controls the computer’s hardware

• Implements user management utilities and features such as the Finder and the Dock

• Organizes the files and folders on your computer

Mac OS X is actually made up of two operating systems, which provide for maximum power and flexibility. These are:

Unix – A powerful and complex command-line interface Aqua – The graphical overlay of Mac OS X

W

Evaluation

(14)

Previous versions of OS X included Mac OS 9 Classic support, allowing you to your run your pre-OS X computer applications on OX 10. The classic environment is no longer supported on newer Intel-based Macintosh computers or under the Lion operating system. Additionally, those applications that need Rosetta to run are also no longer supported.

If you are new to computers or to the Mac, you are about to embark on an exciting new journey – the discovery of Mac OS X.

So let’s get started!

Evaluation

(15)

1.2 Logging On to Your Mac

In this lesson, we will learn how to start and log on to your Mac.

he most basic task you will need to do with your computer is turning it on and logging on to your Mac. To turn on your computer, find your computer’s On/Off switch. Assuming your computer is plugged in correctly, Mac OS X should launch.

Depending on how your computer is set up, you may be presented by a list of users who have been added to the computer’s account list. Click your user name, type your assigned password in the text box and then press the Return key.

If you are about to turn on a brand new out-of–the-box Mac, you will need to configure your computer first. After you turn on your computer, your Mac will prompt you for some information: your name, the language you prefer, keyboard layout (US Or Canada), short name (the name you want to give to your home folder), and the password you want to use to log on to your Mac. You may be prompted to set up your iCloud account (more on iCloud later). If you already have a wireless network available, your Mac should identify it. If your network is security enabled, you will need to provide your WiFi password or key. We will discuss setting up a new network in a later lesson.

You are now ready to begin working with your Macintosh!

To Log On to Your Mac

1. Find the computer’s On/Off switch. 2. Press the On/Off switch.

3. Move your cursor over the icon that corresponds to your user name and then click with your mouse button.

4. Type your password in the password box. 5. Click Log in.

Let’s Try It!

What Why

1. If your Macintosh is not turned

on, press the On/Off switch. Powers on the computer.

2. When the Mac OS X screen appears, move your mouse cursor over your username in the list and click with your mouse.

Opens the password box.

1.3 Understanding the Mac

Interface

In this lesson, we will take a look at the Macintosh Interface.

his lesson will help you become familiar with the Mac OS X screen, also known as the Desktop. The Desktop is the first screen you will see after logging in to the computer. The table below summarizes the major elements of the Mac OS X screen.

Don’t worry if the Mac screen appears mystifying or confusing at first. Each of these elements will be covered in detail in subsequent lessons. This lesson is just to introduce to you to major parts of the Desktop.

Major Elements of the Mac OS X Screen

Element Description

Apple Menu The Apple Menu is used for a variety of Mac system commands such as opening System Preferences, modifying the Dock properties, logging out, restarting your computer, selecting a network location and jumping to recent items.

Desktop This is the large background area of the Mac OS X screen. The desktop is where you may find shortcuts to your favorite folders, documents and applications.

Menu Bar Displays the Macintosh menus used to execute commands. Clicking on a menu displays a list of commands for that menu.

Menulets Icons that display in the menu bar, such as date and time or Airport connection status.

Spotlight Introduced in OS 10.4 Tiger, Spotlight is Mac OS X’s search engine, which helps you to instantly find anything on your computer.

The Dock The Dock is a band of icons that launches programs, files or folders that you use often. When you open another application or minimize a document window, its icons will then appear in the Dock. The Dock also includes the Trash. To delete a file, drag it to the Trash.

Trash Files and folders that you delete are moved to this folder.

Evaluation

(19)

1.4 Using the Mouse

In this lesson, we will work with the Mouse.

he Mouse, a small device that is connected to your computer, allows you to

select and move objects on the screen. The mouse is associated with the

MousePointer on your screen. The mouse pointer is used to point to and select objects on your screen. When you move the mouse on your desk, the pointer moves on your screen. To move the pointer left, move your mouse to the left on your desk. Likewise, to move your pointer up, down or to the right, move your mouse upwards, downwards or to the right, respectively.

The mouse pointer normally takes one of three forms: Standard Pointer, Insertion Point and Rotating Beach Ball.

The Standard Pointer is the most common appearance of the pointer. When the Standard Pointer appears, it looks like an arrow pointing to the upper left, at about a 30-degree angle. In Standard Pointer mode, you can move the mouse and single click to highlight an icon, double-click (click twice in rapid succession) to open an item, and click and drag to do a number of different actions, such as highlight more than one items at the same time, or move an item.

The next common pointer is the Insertion Point. This pointer appears when you move the mouse and place the cursor over an area in a text-based program, such as a word processor or the Terminal. When the pointer is in this mode, you can usually perform text-based actions, such as clicking once to place the cursor (commonly called setting the insertion point), or clicking and dragging to select a section of text.

The third type of pointer is the Rotating Beach Ball (oftentimes referred to as the “Beach Ball of Death”). This pointer appears when the application concerned is busy processing a task and cannot do anything else at the current time. You are unable to do anything with that application while the beach ball is spinning except wait.

Mouse Actions

Selecting is the process of choosing an object in order to perform some action. For instance, you may wish to open an application or move a file from one location to another. There are five basic MouseActions that you will work with to select objects:

Single-Click – Press and release the mouse button once. This action is used to select an icon or to click a button in a dialog box.

Double-Click –Quickly press and release the mouse button twice in rapid succession. This action is used to open an application, a document or a folder.

Right-Click (also known as Control-Click) – Press and release the right mouse button once. This action is used with two-button mice and usually produces a pop-up menu. To produce this same result with a one-button mouse, hold down the Ctrl key and then press the mouse button.

Click-and-Drag – Press the mouse button and, with the mouse button still pressed down, move the mouse. This action is used to select text in a document or to select more than one sequential item at a time.

• Drag-and-Drop – Used to move items from one location to another. Move

your mouse pointer over the item you wish to move and then press and hold down the mouse button. With the mouse button still held down, move or

drag your mouse until the mouse pointer is in the location where you want to place the item. Release the mouse button to drop the item.

If you are using a two-button mouse, pressing the right-mouse button will often produce a contextual shortcut menu. This is the equivalent of pressing down the Control key and clicking with a one-button mouse. You can use either a one-button or two-button mouse with your Mac.

Let’s Try It!

What Why

1. Rest your hand on top of the mouse, and then move the mouse until the pointer is over the

Lesson Files icon as shown.

Positions the mouse pointer over the Macintosh HD icon. The icon represents the Lesson Files folder.

1.5 Using the Keyboard

In this lesson, we will learn how to use the keyboard.

Numeric Keypad Function Keys (F keys)

Control (ctrl) key

Option (or Alt) key

Command (⌘) key

he Keyboard is another device that is connected to your computer. You may

already be familiar with the keyboard. However, there are several special keys on the Macintosh keyboard that allow you to use keyboard shortcuts instead of using the mouse. One key that you will only find on a Macintosh keyboard and that is often used in combination with one or more other keys is the Command () key. Holding down a combination of keys will execute a particular command associated with that keystroke combination. For example, holding down the key combination of  + W (The Command key and the W key) will close the active

window.

It is important to note that the Control key, which is often labeled Ctrl, is not the equivalent of the Control key on a non-Mac keyboard. One of the main purposes of the Control key is for control-clicking to display shortcut menus. The Option key is often used to display hidden menus or to add special characters.

At the end of this lesson is a list of common keyboard shortcuts. Keep in mind that not all shortcuts will work in all applications.

Let’s Try It!

What Why

1. Press and hold the Command () and then press the W key.

Closes the open window. 2. Press the keystroke combination

 + Shift + A (the Command key, the Shift key and the A key).

Opens the Applications window

1.6 Investigating Menus

In this lesson, you will learn how to use menus.

n the last lesson, we learned how to give commands to your Macintosh by using keystroke combinations. Another common way to issue a command is by use of menus. A menu is a categorized list of commands relevant to a particular application and is located near the top of window. The menu titles are displayed on the Menu Bar. To display the commands for a menu title, position your mouse pointer over the title and click with your mouse button.

Common menu items are File, Edit, View and Help. A disclosure triangle to the right of the menu name indicates that the menu contains a submenu. You can trace to the submenu with your mouse pointer to execute the submenu’s command.

1.7 Using Gestures with a Trackpad

In this lesson, you will learn how to use Gestures.

f you are using a Mac notebook such as a Macbook, Macbook Pro, Macbook Air or are using an external Trackpad instead of a mouse, then you can take advantage of Gestures. Gestures allow the use of a trackpad, which converts certain finger movements into equivalent mouse movements. For example, double-tapping the trackpad is the equivalent of double-clicking with your mouse. Tapping a trackpad with two fingers is the equivalent of right-clicking your mouse. Apple’s Magic Mouse contains a multi-touch surface enabling the use of gestures as well.

Mac OS X Lion provides a new preference pane, which can be accessed by clicking the Trackpad icon in the System Preferences pane, which can help you become more familiar with gesture options.

We will not be doing any practice exercises using gestures as not every student may have access to a multi-touch device. We will take a brief look at the Trackpad area of the System Preferences, which you may wish to explore more on you own.

To View the Trackpad Pane

1. Click on the menu.

2. Select System Preferences from the menu.

3. Under the Hardware area, click the Trackpad icon.

1.9 Using the Dock

In this lesson, you will learn how to use the Dock.

he Dock is a 3-D almost translucent ribbon that gives you quick access to the applications, folders and documents that you use most often. To open an item on the Dock, click on the icon for the item you wish to launch. Hovering your mouse pointer over any icon on the Dock will display the item’s name above the icon.

The Dock is divided into two sections divided by a vertical line. The items to the left of the line are applications. The items to the right of the line are everything except for applications (shortcuts to documents, folders, minimized windows, etc.) When you launch an application, its icon will display in the Dock until you exit the application. A small blue dot appears on the bottom of the Dock icon to indicate that the program is currently running. To add new items to the Dock, click the item you wish to add and then drag it to the Dock.

The Dock contains an initial set of icons, which are pictured below. The default icons are, from left to right:

Downloads – Folder that contains files that you download from your Web browser. Can also store e-mail attachments here.

Trash – A container for discarding files and folders that are to be removed from your computer.

Folders that you add to the Dock are called Stacks. This can be a folder of documents, aliases, or a group of applications that you need to access frequently. When you click a stack, the contents of the folder appear in a handy arc menu. If the

Evaluation

(35)

folder contains more items than can display in the arc, they are then displayed in grid format. When Lion is installed, two stacks are already included: The Downloads

folder where files you download from the Internet are stored, and the Documents

folder, the default folder under your Home folder where new documents are stored. You can add additional stacks by dragging any desired folders to the Dock.

To Use the Dock

1. Click on the icon in the Dock for the item you wish to open. If the item is an application it will launch. If it is a folder (a Stack), the items will appear in an Arc or a Grid, depending on the number of items in the folder.

2. To add an item to the Dock, click the icon for the item and then drag it to the Dock.

3. To remove an item from the Dock, click the icon and drag it upwards off of the Dock.

1.10 Using Trash

In this lesson, you will learn how to use the Trash container.

n the opposite end of the Dock is an icon resembling a wastepaper basket. This is the Trash. The Trash is the container into which you place files

and folders that you no longer need. To place an item in the Trash, click and drag the item to the Trash icon on the Dock. If you prefer to use a keyboard shortcut, hold down the  key and then press the Delete key on your keyboard.

Anything you place into Trash will stay there until you empty the Trash by selecting

Finder > Empty Trash from the Desktop menu. Once you empty the Trash, any items that you had placed there are deleted from your system.

Even after emptying the Trash, deleted files may still be recovered by using special data-recovery software. To delete files so that they cannot be recovered, choose

Finder > Secure Empty Trash. Files deleted in this manner are completely overwritten by meaningless data. This may take some time, depending on the size and number of the files in your Trash bin. You may want to use Secure Empty Trash if you plan on selling or giving away your computer.

In this lesson, you will learn how to use get on-screen help.

f you have a question about how to do accomplish a particular task on your Mac or about something displayed on your screen, the Macintosh Operating System may be able to provide on-screen help.

There are two main types of help available in Mac OS X:

1. Help Tags – Some objects contain Help Tags, which are small yellow boxes that contain descriptive text about the objects. To display a help tag, hover your mouse pointer over an object. If the object has a help tag, it will display in a few seconds.

2. Help Center – The On-screen Help Center is available under the Help menu on the Finder menu bar. Type a question in the Search box and press the Return key. A list of topics related to your search term will be displayed. Click the link for the topic you wish to view or choose Show All Help Topics to open the Help Center with a list of all topics related to your search term. The Search box is also a quick way to find and jump to a menu item. This can be especially helpful in applications with a large amount of menu items.

You can access the Mac Help System by clicking Help on the Finder menu and then clicking Help Center. The Help Center menu appears from where you can browse topics by index or quickly help troubleshoot difficulties.

2.1 The Parts of a Window

In this lesson, you will learn how to recognize the parts of a window.

hen working with the OS X operating system, you will quickly discover that each application or folder resides in its own window. A window is a box that that allows you to view and interact with the content of files, folders and applications. Windows are either square or rectangular and contain buttons, menus and controls that you can use to manage them. Windows that display your Home folder, the Applications folder or any folder containing files or other folders (or any folder that is not part of an application) are referred to as

Finder Windows. The Finder is an application that lets you manage your files and folders. View buttons Item Arrangement button Quick Look/ Slideshow Action Menu Dropbox button Quick Search Box Close Button, Minimize button, Zoom button Back and Forward buttons

Sidebar Change width Scrollbars column

The Finder Window

You will mostly likely find yourself working with several open windows at once. The

active window is the window that appears on top of any other of the windows that you have open. You can also tell which window is active by looking at the Title Bar, the small thin bar on top of a window that contains the folder or application name. When a window is active, the title in the Title Bar appears darker than the Title Bar of an inactive window.

Let’s take a look at the Window controls in more detail:

2.2 Navigating a Window

In this lesson, you will learn how to navigate a window using Scroll Bars and Scroll

Arrows.

n previous versions of OS X, scroll Bars and Scroll Arrows appeared automatically in any window that is not sizeable enough to show all of its contents. With OS X Lion however, scroll bars do not appear as often as they used to, especially if you have a Trackpad or a Magic Mouse installed. Don’t worry though – if you prefer scroll bars to other navigation methods, you can bring them back: Click the Apple Menu, click System Preferences and then click the General icon. In the section entitled Show Scroll Bars, click the radio button next to

Always. The scroll bars will now always be visible. Other options include displaying them based upon the input device and only when scrolling.

To always display scroll bars

So what exactly are scroll bars? A scroll bar is a slider that appears at the edge of a window that allows you to jump to a different area of your window. Depending on the contents of your window, you may see both horizontal and vertical scroll bars. To move to a different position in a window, click the scroll bar with your left mouse button and, with the mouse button still held down, drag the scroll bar by moving your mouse until the desired portion of the window is in view.

Scroll Buttons allow you to move the contents of a window a little at a time. Click on the Scroll Up button to move upwards and the Scroll Down button to move downwards. Depending on the windows settings, the scroll buttons will be either right next to each other near the resize control or at opposite ends of the scroll track.

The Scroll Track allows you to move the contents of a window in larger increments. Click in the scroll track to move the window in chunks.

Vertical Scroll Bar Horizontal Scroll Bar Scroll Track

There are several others ways to navigate a window:

Keyboard - Use the Page Up or Page Down keys on your keyboard to scroll a window, one screen at a time. In many documents, the Home key moves you to the beginning of a document and the End key moves you to the end of a document.

Mouse – If your mouse has a scroll wheel, you can scroll upwards or downwards in a window without needing to use the keyboard.

Trackpad – If you have a trackpad attached to your Mac, you can scroll upwards or downwards in a window by pushing two fingers upwards or downwards on the trackpad.

Magic Mouse – If you are using a Magic Mouse, you can scroll upwards or downwards in a window by pushing one finger upwards or downwards on the mouse.
