Chapter 2 Introduction to Mac OS X 13

Below a separator are icons that represent often used folders on your hard disk.

Mac OS X has folders already set up for you to store your music, pictures, movies, and

documents. In the sidebar, you also see folders for the desktop contents, your home

folder, and applications.

When a folder is selected in the sidebar, its contents are displayed on the right side of

the Finder window in the view browser. Finder windows can display items in the view

browser in icon, list, or column view.

The Dock

The Dock is a customizable list of items that provides quick access to applications and

documents you use often. It appears as a row or column of icons on the screen. You

can position the Dock along the bottom, left, or right edge of the screen.

When an application is open, its icon appears temporarily in the Dock. When you

minimize a window, it disappears from the desktop and appears as an icon on the right

side of the Dock.

Each item in the Dock has a contextual menu that gives you quick access to commands

for that item. The contextual menu also contains the commands “Remove from Dock”

for icons that have been placed there permanently, and “Keep in Dock” for applications

that are open but whose icons are only there temporarily.

The Menu Bar

Mac OS X has a menu bar permanently located at the top of the screen. The menu bar

contains a collection of menus for the application that is currently active. When you

switch applications, the menus in the menu bar change to reflect the active

application. Most applications include File, Edit, Format, Window, and Help menus.

The Apple menu, located at the far left of the menu bar, is the same in every

application. It contains system commands and preferences.

The right side of the menu bar contains status menus. Status menus display information

and provide shortcuts to system and application settings that you may frequently

change. Common status menus include the volume slider, clock, and battery level

indicator. You can show or hide individual status menus in System Preferences and

other applications.

At the far right side of the menu bar is the Spotlight menu. You can use Spotlight, the

advanced search technology built in to Mac OS X, to search your entire system for

information contained in files, emails, contacts, images, calendars, and applications. For

more information about Spotlight, see “Spotlight” on page 15.
