Hi, I just bought my macbook air, and it is really amazing. Although I am fairly new to the mac operating system, it is fairly easy to use. But since I am new, I know there are things I don't know that can be really beneficial. Like I just figured out I had to turn on the firewall, even though the OS is pretty secure, I like the added protection. Is there anything else, whether it be programs, commands, or tips I should know/get? Thank you.

You puzzle me. Your signature says you own a M14X yet you say you own a macbook pro in the title and than you proceed to say you own a macbook air in the body text.

oh sorry, Yes I meant macbook air, OS would be the same anyways. And I can't own an alienware m14x along with a macbook air?

Congrats! I think it was a really smart move to get the MBA 13 over the MBP 13 stuff for your day-to-day stuff. That and the M14x should be a nice pair together. Time to update the sig!

You need VLC and codecs. Thats the only must have app i can think about.
Quicktime doesnt play $ht . -
Congrats on the MBP 13, I hope to be joining the club very soon.

VLC plays pretty much anything. You don't need to download codecs separately, it's built into VLC.

Hehe... sold my asus g73 and got a 2010 13 mbp... I love it!!

The 2011 macbook air is a nice machine. enjoy it and check out these apps.
caffeine is a nice program. it keeps your machine awake when your trying to do long operations like burning ripping or copying a large amount of files. annoying that your machine will sleep when doing these things. youd think that it wouldnt but it does.
clipmenu is a clipboard history app. works great and sits in your menu bar. quickly go through anything youve copied.
I also use weatherbug for mac. this puts the temperature in your menu bar. -
I have a MBP 13" for 1 week!!! its amazing but i have a little difficulties.
I bought from aventura apple retail, and they sold me box sealed, but when i unboxed noticed that it came without disks!!! i know lion its on the "cloud" but i would like to have a recovery disk, do you knock how i can do this? -
yeah, they no longer ship recovery discs at all... I found that out recently. I find it rather annoying.
Just purchased a Macbook pro 13!
