Re: Family desktop questions
Hi Tracy, I have a 2012 mac mini hooked to my 46-inch 1080p tv and a sonos 5.1 sound system. I use it for movies tv shows and the like. It works great. I just picked up a Yodamaster dual-drive enclosure from amazon and put two 8tb drives in it to house my itunes library. It works very well for an entertainment pc. I'm not sure about streaming music to the whole house since I've never done that. Hope this helps! Jeff On 11/8/19, Traci Duncan wrote: > Hi, we have been thinking about getting a household desktop.

Family desktop questions
Hi, we have been thinking about getting a household desktop. I have a couple questions and looking for your advice. First, the Mac mini has always interested me. What are your thoughts on this device? Does it work well connected to a LED Television as a monitor? Questions for either Mac desktop option. How does it work to keep iTunes libraries separate? Is a desktop a good option for streaming music throughout the house? We have a variety of smart speakers. Thank you for any guidance. We haven’t had a family desktop for several years.

Desktop Questions.
Hello! What is the full path to the desktop on Mac OS X? When Mac OS X is freshly installed, the desktop seems to be empty, no macintosh HD or any other drive. I know from where in system preferences to change this behavior so these are placed on the desktop but if I don't want to do how do I open Macintosh HD or a dvd drive etc? The curious Mac beginner somehow. -- Georges Zeinoun Timmerv. 6A, SE54163 SKÖVDE Tel: +46500201623, +46500482929 Mobile: +46707567315 E-mail: humorlessg...@samobile.net Email services provided by the System Access Mobile Network.

Re: Desktop Questions.
From the desktop, press: CMD+Shift+A will take you to application CMD+Shift+C for computer. Macintosh HD will be under that CMD+Shift+D will take you directly to the Desktop folder CMD+Shift+F will take you to All My Files CMD+Shift+H to go to your home folder. You'll find Desktop, Documents, Music, Movies, etc under this. CMD+Shift+K will take you to the Network folder. CMD+Shift+O will take you to the Documents folder. The path to the Desktop is: /Users/username/Desktop Brandon On Jul 26, 2011, at 11:50 AM, Georges Zaynoun wrote: Hello! What is the full path to the desktop on Mac OS X?

Re: Desktop Questions.
Georges, If these items are not appearing on your Desktop and you wish to open them, go first under the Go menu in the Finder and choose one of the options such as documents folder (cmd-shift-o) or your Home folder (cmd-shift-h). Once a folder is open, you can access any other things through the Sidebar. Alternatively, you can press cmd-comma while on the Desktop to bring up Finder Preferences and check the boxes of the items you wish shown on the Desktop. HTH.
