Windows to mac...Software alternatives

[J273]

Just made the switch to a macbook pro....love OSX but feel a little lost


Can anyone help with the following?


1.In xp to resize images i always used the imagesizer powertoy (right click the image and resize) ..is there anything for mac the same.


2.Any nero alternative.


3.On my xp machine ive chaged the location of the my documents folder to and external HD.

So my PICS / MUSIC & VIDEOS all are located on the external HD

Is this possible on the mac?

Just got round to doing this.

Ive decided not to move the home folder and just make an alias for each folder on the external drive.

Ive now got an alias on the desktop called 'Music' from the external drive how do i go about replacing the Music folder in Home with this alias.


Also how do i go about making i tunes read this ?...without copying them all to the mac pros hard drive?



Thanks

You can delete the real folders (Video, Music, Photos, Documents - not the others ) an replace them with the Alias.

iTunes, you can either just delete your current library and drag the new folder into iTunes or move the library via iTunes -> Preferences -> Advanced and change the Library location.

Thanks

But ive just trid to delete the original Music / Movies / pictures within home.


But it wont allow me telling me ' ''Movies'' can't be modified or deleted because its requird by Mac OS X'
