I was trying to paste it in by tapping (2 fingers) and doing paste.
Now that I see that it automatically goes to the Desktop I can drag or attach it that way.
Yes, I AM using Apple's mail.
I have seen .mac email addresses. I would love to have one but I think I read that those are history.
Thanks for your help!

Howdy.
Jennifer, you have two options for doing screen shots that are built in
to the OS on all Macs.
1. Keyboard commands.
• Command-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it as a
file on the desktop
• Command-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area
and save it as a file on the desktop
• Command-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take a screenshot
of a window and save it as a file on the desktop
• Command-Control-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it
to the clipboard
• Command-Control-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an
area and save it to the clipboard
• Command-Control-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take a
screenshot of a window and save it to the clipboard
In Leopard and later, the following keys can be held down while
selecting an area (via Command-Shift-4 or Command-Control-Shift-4):
• Space, to lock the size of the selected region and instead move it
when the mouse moves
• Shift, to resize only one edge of the selected region
• Option, to resize the selected region with its center as the anchor
point
(I found the above list in an online source but now can't remember
where.)
2. Grab Application.
Locate the Grab application - should be in your Applications/Utilities
folder.
Launch Grab. It's a screen capture utility.
If you use it often, then drag the Grab application icon to your Dock
for convenience.
3. There are a number of free, shareware, and commercial screen
capture programs. Check MacUpdate site for a major source for
thousands of Macintosh programs and links for downloading them:

Jennifer, the older .mac email addresses were converted into Apple's
iCloud and free email service some time ago.
Sign up for iCloud an you get free email with it plus a number of sync
services, Find my Mac, storage, PhotoStream, Bookmarks,
Contacts/Address Book, Reminders, music, Calendar syncing, and more.
You then would need to check for iCloud and connected services in
System Preferences and turn things on and set up.
iCloud also works for syncing data between Macintosh and iOS devices
like (iPod, iPhone, iPad).
Learn more about iCloud here:

WHOOPS! Forgot to add.
To attach a file to an email message try drag n drop of the file to the
email application icon.
If Apple's Mail icon is in your Dock or on your Finder window Toolbar,
just drag a jpeg or txt file to it and this should launch Mail and open
a blank message with the file already attached and ready for you to
address the message.
Drag n Drop works in may programs and even with several selected files.

Howdy.
This is always the fun tip for newbies on Macintosh just arrived from
the odd world of Windows.
Jennifer, learn about using Labels.
You can assign a color file and folder icons and those colors can have
definitions or Labels. You can change the Label text to what you like.
Here's an example.
Create a new folder on your Desktop. (keyboard shortcut is Shift
Command n, or use the File menu and pick New Folder)
Then select this folder on Desktop with a single click.
Next click the File menu and at the very bottom is the Label menu with
8 colors. Pick one of the colors.
You folder Icon text field should be that color.
Next open the Finder Preferences.
In Finder pick Finder menu and then Preferences.
Then click the Labels icon in the Toolbar.
You can type your own descriptions in the text fields next to each
color.
I have my set to:
Red - Keep or Check
Orange - Group (meaning a group of things that go together)
Yellow - Caution (something to be careful about)
Green - Good
Blue - Refer to or for Info
Purple - Finished (I'm done with it)
Gray - In Progress (for example, several files I have to attach and
send)
and the "x" means no color Label.
Have fun!

It's being saved as a file that you'll find in the Screenshots folder within the Documents folder. Go there and double-click on the file to open it.

Well Tim, I tried CrossOver (trial version) and downloaded and ran IE 7 with it, but it seems to be quite buggy. I experienced numerous freezes and never successfully reached the page I wanted to. Maybe I'll contact their support about it, but it does cost about $70 so I'm not sure she would want to buy it (especially if I can't get it to work!).
Thanks,
..............Mike

If the website requires ActiveX, you must use IE or an IE based derivative.
I don't know of any for the Mac.

You might give Crossover a try. It's $59, but they have a "try before you buy" option available. According to their web site some older versions of Internet Explorer (v5 and 6) will run under Crossover,albeit not perfectly. V8 and 9 are known not to work, and v10 hasn't been testedCheck it out here:
http://www.codeweav
It won't hurt to try it.

I've seen Windows 7 Pro OEM System builder DVDs w/license for about $75.
USD. You can install that in BootCamp and run IE natively, rather than with
CrossOver or some other Windows application support platform for Mac. If it
is about the same price, Windows via BootCamp (or Parallels or VMWare
Fusion) might be a better solution long term - you never know when you
will run into a situation where you need Windows. What better way to run
Windows than on a Mac? !

This provides some information, but it is often severely obfuscated. The IPs will be those of the mail servers used, and won't necessarily include the originating IP location. But it's a start.

Thanx for this, Tod.
I ran the IP address (41.57.210.63) of the male respondent and I was able to get a link to Africa, Mauritius to be specific.
Not all 'Whois&#
<whois.arin.
Per each server, I followed up with the <whois.afrinic.
I've got all that I need to know.
Thanx. Oneal

A friend of mine is still using OSX 10.4.
She needs to check what wi-fi channels anyone else around is using to try to reduce interference.
I remember some old posts discussing this for 10.7 or 10,.8, but what can she use in 10.4 so she can select the strongest signal and block any neighbours?
Thanks
Les

Glad that they help. :)
You can print them, of course, but you could also keep them handy on-screen
in a background window (using Word or TextEdit).
The main thing is that, in general, Windows Ctrl = Mac Command*.
*This used to be labelled with the Apple symbol and another that is
commonly called a "cloverleaf". You will see all 3 names used. Note that
there are 2 Command keys, one each side of the space bar.
