Thought I'd do as I was told and took a photo of my new baby.

I love my baby! :)

Congrats and enjoy, Hayles. Lol, iPhone with baby bunting?

My husband didn't take to iPad, but he increasingly likes his iPhone 5, so maybe Apple will assimilate him, too, lol.

guess what I am posting from? hee hee
very steep learning curve, here guys! For an absolute Mac beginner, the start up process was nerve racking. I had no idea what I was doing and did't know any of the finger gestures either. I will post photo when I am back on my iPad.

Yup! I'm beginning to realise that I know nothing about Mac's at all. Those gestures! Yikes! I still don't know how to transfer my iTunes folder which I have located from my WD external hard drive but don't see how to show it in iTunes itself. Total noob! Gab? Help?

Nice photos of your new MacBook. :) Welcome to the MacBook family. If you haven't already done so, you can download this quick start guide by going here. http://support.apple.com/manuals/#macnotebooks

I've also realised that I need to buy iWork's as well.

If you are looking for a quick answer go to the help section when you are at the home page. Just put help in the IPF search bar. I'm afraid I'd steer you wrong with my kilobyte of iTune knowledge! But they have wizards in the help section! I met one or two!!

Woohoo! What a beauty!

Now, don't panic about iTunes! First off, close iTunes on your Mac, click on the Apple symbol (top left of screen) and in the drop down menu choose "force quit" then choose "iTunes" from the next menu......if iTunes isn't in that menu then it isn't open.

At this point plug in your Ext HD and open a finder window, you should see your Ext HD in the left hand pane.

Now, holding down the option key on the keyboard open iTunes. iTunes will ask if you want to start a new library or pick an existing.....choose the latter option then direct it to the folder on your Ext HD.......iTunes should do the rest.

This all looks extremely promising Hayles. I will follow your progress with great interest.

I see that Gabe has arrived. :)

And in case there is any doubt, this is the option key.......
