How to Zoom With a MacBook Pro Trackpad (3 Steps)


Use two fingers to touch the trackpad. The MacBook Pro trackpad makes manipulating documents and applications easy, but three fingers and four fingers have other functions. To zoom in, you need only two fingers.
Zoom in on the current document by pinching outward on the trackpad with the either two fingers, or your thumb and forefinger. Zoom back out by pinching inward.
Modify your trackpad preferences if you find the trackpad too sensitive to your touch or not sensitive enough. Select 'System Preferences,' and then select 'Trackpad' from the Hardware options. Click the 'Point & Click' tab to modify the speed of response to your hand movements. Select 'Scroll & Zoom' to disable the zoom feature.

How to Upgrade Your MacBook Air


Remove screws. The internals of a MacBook Pro are accessed form the underside of the casing. The bottom is held in place by ten screws, including six 3 mm Phillips screws, two 5.4 mm Phillips screws, and two 7.9 mm Phillips screws.
Lift off the case. Once the screws are removed, the bottom of the MacBook Air case should come off easily, with a quick pull.
Disconnect the accessory ports. Your MacBook Air's current hard drive or solid state drive sits underneath the ribbon that connects your accessory USB, audio, power and DVI connectors. With the bottom of the case removed, unplug the ribbon that connects these accessories to the motherboard.
Remove hard drive screws. Once the accessory ports are disconnected form the board, remove the screws that hold the hard drive frame in place.
Lift the hard drive frame. Make sure that the ribbon that attaches the accessory ports is safely out of the way. If the path is clear, the hard drive and its frame can be lifted from the computer.
Replace hard drive. With the frame and hard drive out of the computer, the current drive can be slid out of the frame and a new one inserted. Original generation MacBook Air models use a zero insertion force (ZIF) connector, so make sure the hard drive or solid state drive you use has this type of connector. Models manufactured after the summer of 2009 feature a more common Serial ATA (SATA) connector. All MacBook Air hard drives or solid state drives must be 1.8 inches wide by 5 mm tall to fit in the frame.
Reassemble MacBook Air. Place the bracket back in the computer and secure it using using the removed screws. Reattach the ribbon connectors for the accessory ports. Replace the back of the computer and secure it with its 10 screws. Boot the computer and install Mac OS X, being sure to test functionality.

How to Download Movies for Free on a Mac


Launch Apple's Safari web browser for the Macintosh and navigate to the Internet Media Archive webpage.
Click 'Moving Images.'
Scroll through the categories and select 'Movies.' Note that many other categories are also available to suit your interests, including 'Animation & Cartoons,' 'News & Public Affairs' and 'Sports Videos.'
Click 'Feature Films.'
Browse through the resulting categories, which include 'Comedy Films,' 'Film Noir,' 'Sci-Fi/Horror,' and many more. Click the one that most closely matches your current film-watching mood.
Choose a letter from A to Z under 'Browse By Title.' A list appears, containing all the available movies that begin with this letter. (For instance, to locate the classic horror movie 'Carnival of Souls,' choose 'C' under the 'Sci-Fi/Horror' category.)
Locate the film you want to watch, then click on its title. On the film's information page, you will see options to stream the film (i.e., watch it in your web browser) or download it to your computer. Generally a standard .MP4 version will be available (viewable with Apple's QuickTime player, which is most likely preinstalled on your system. If not, it can be downloaded from Apple's website). Alternately, Apple's iTunes media player software (also preinstalled on most Macs) will play .MP4 files as well. Depending on the film, other media formats may be available too, including versions for the iPod/iPhone.
Stream the movie. To start, click on the 'Play Video' link. To download the movie, press the CTRL button on your keyboard while clicking on the desired video link, then click 'Download Linked File' on the resulting pop-up menu.
Locate the file on your hard drive once the download has completed. Double-click it and enjoy the show.
