PostHeaderIcon How come storage devices like flash drives and external drives don’t have space it claims to have?


Question by Malevolence: How come storage devices like flash drives and external drives don’t have space it claims to have?
For example, if I buy a 4GB flash drive or a 500GB external drive, why is it that in Properties, they actually say like 3.76 GB or 455 GB respectively?

Best answer:

PostHeaderIcon What do different desktops do on Macs?


Question by : What do different desktops do on Macs?
On my MacBook Pro, you can make different desktops by swiping up with 4 fingers. At the top, it shows different “desktops.” What is the point of having multiple desktops? What does it do?

Best answer:

Answer by David D
You run different applications on each desktop, then swipe between them. They are usually organised by task.

For example, you might have a web browser open to research something along with a Pages document you are writing based on the research on one desktop, and then have your email client and calendar open on another.

Question by Leia: How to transfer Microsoft Office from a disk to my laptop?
I just bought Microsoft Office from my campus computer store at a student price, so it only comes with the CD-ROM. But my laptop doesn’t have an optical drive, and I don’t have time to buy an external optical drive. How do I transfer Microsoft Office from the CD to my laptop?

Best answer:

Answer by John
Get someone to copy the office disc to a flash drive, copy it to your desktop and run it from there.
