I got some questions as I already migrate from windows platform to mac.

1. How to add or remove application for dock?
2. How to change to file type association in mac? I would like to open mp3
with other applications instead of itune.
3. Any good mp3 player like winamp in windows?
4. I am using logitech keyboard and the command/option keys swapped...
5. Is there any software can wake up the computer in a specific time?

Thank you very much.

1. To add an application to the dock, locate the program on your hard
drive and drag its icon to the dock. Folders or data files get added to
the right-side, programs to the left side. To remove icons from the
dock, 'pull' them off.

2. To change the program associated with a data file, locate a file of
that type and highlight its icon... hold down the CMD +I keys. (The CMD
key is the one with the Apple and cloverleaf icons on an Apple
keyboard). You'll see the File Information dialog box... on it, there
should be the words OPEN WITH: with a triangle beside them. Click on the
triangle to expand that section of the dialogue.

You'll see the default, with a list of other known programs that will
use that the type of file, and the possibility of browsing to select
OTHER...

You'll also see a CHANGE ALL... button to change for all files of that
type.

3. You may find other programs that play MP3 on the Mac-- I used other
programs under older, pre-OSX Mac operating system versions, but
personally, I prefer iTunes.

4. There are a number of programs that allow key-mapping... go to a
download site such as VersionTracker or download.com and type 'key map
Mac' into the search box. I use the free uControl
(http://gnufoo.org/ucontrol) to turn off CapsLock-- it also allows
mapping the command and option keys.

5. The Energy system preference has a Schedule tab that may do what you
want.

(This is assuming you're running the current Mac OS X 10.3.x)

To add an application, or any other item to the Dock, just drag it to
the place on the Dock where you want the object to reside. Note that
files and folders go on the right side and applications on the left or
the divider bar.

Use File->Get Info or type the command (Apple) button while holding down
the I key. The "Get Info" panel for any document will have a field in it
that lets you choose which application opens up the document.

iTunes.

Is this a question?

I don't know. Check http://www.versiontracker.com for software.

Thanks for all your help.
