Tips and Tricks
Upload pictures to your iDisk to create custom iCards
You can send iCards with your own custom pictures. Save your images as GIF or JPEG files
and then copy them to the Pictures folder on your iDisk. Your images will appear as picture
choices when you create an iCard in the Create Your Own section.
Start with a HomePage template to create your own Web page in minutes
HomePage has Web page templates that you can modify with your own text and images. For
example, teachers can use the HomePage education templates to post recent class news,
homework assignments, and other information for parents. You can also use the HomePage
photo album and iMovie templates to share your pictures and movies easily with your friends
and family.
Create an alias of your iDisk for easy access
Instead of using a Web browser to open your iDisk, choose iDisk from the Go menu. You can
also add an iDisk icon to the Finder toolbar. Choose Customize Toolbar from the View menu,
then drag the iDisk icon to the Finder toolbar and click Done.
Use iTools to control access by other users
Set up your computer so that each member of the family can log in. See “Multiple Users—
One Mac for Many Users” on page 40 for information about setting up your computer for
several users.
