<p>This tutorial will guide you step-by-step in the process of how to both display the Blue Letter Bible CD contents in your browser and be able to copy the Blue Letter Bible CD to your Apple Mac hard drive. There are two main advantages for having the Blue Letter Bible run from your hard drive: (1) It will keep your CD-ROM drive available for other software CD-ROMs or music, (2) the Blue Letter Bible will run quicker from your hard drive than from a CD-ROM drive. The following instructions apply to Mac computers running the Apple OSX (10.5.x and 10.6.x) operating system.</p>
|
|
<p>Before copying the BLB CD onto your Apple Mac hard drive, it is necessary that you have enough space on your hard drive. You need to have about 700 MB of available hard disk space.</p>
|
|
<p><i>To determine how much space you have available on your hard drive follow these steps:</i></p>
|
|
<p><b>1. <i>Locate the hard drive icon</i></b> on your Mac desktop. This drive is usually titled "Macintosh HD." If the shortcut is not on your desktop, locate the hard drive from the Mac's "Finder" window.</p>

|
|
<p><b>2. <i>Right-click on the "Macintosh HD" icon</i></b>. Select the "Get Info" option from the hard drive's drop-down menu.</p>
|
|

|
|
<p><b>3. <i>View the computer's hard drive information</i></b> in the pop-up window. The window will show the drive's total disk space, used space and available space.</p>
|
|

|
|
<p><b>4. </b>Now we are going to <b><i>insert the the BLB CD</i></b> into the Mac. Once the BLB CD is in the system an icon will appear on the desktop.</p>

|
<p><b>Viewing the Blue Letter Bible CD Contents</b></p>
|
|
<p>At this point you may want to simply view the BLB CD without having to copy the files to your system. There are two ways to do this. You may select the BLB folder on the CD, and launch the index.html file. Or you may select the "Mac_Start_here" file in the Finder window (if it exists) and <i>right click</i> with your mouse. You will be presented with a pop-up menu, from here simply select to <i>"Open With"</i> and choose your <i>Safari</i> browser.</p>

|
|
<p><b>6.</b> At this point we are <i>now going copying the BLB CD files to your Mac hard drive</i>. To do so select and hold down the left mouse button
|
|
on the BLB folder and drag it from the Finder window to your desktop. This action will copy the entire BLB contents to a folder labeled <i><b>BLB</b></i> on your desktop.</p>

|
|
<p><b>7.</b> Once the BLB folder has been copied to your desktop you will want to open it. To do so simply <i>double-click</i> on the BLB folder icon on your desktop and it will open in the Finder app.</p>
|
|
<p><img src="gifs/help/blb_files.png" border="1" /></p>
|
|
<p><b>8.</b> We are now going to create a short-cut or alias to the <i>index.html</i> file that we will then deposit onto the desktop. To do so <i>right-click</i> on the <i>index.html</i> file and select <i>Make Alias</i> from the popup menu option.</p>
|
|
<p><img src="gifs/help/make_alias_menu.png" border="1" /></p>
|
|
<p><b>9.</b> You will now find that an alias or short-cut of the orginal <i>index.html</i> has been created. Select the aliased file with your mouse and drag it to your desktop.</p>
|
|
<p><img src="gifs/help/alias_index.png" border="1" /></p>
|
|
<p><b>10.</b> At this point you can choose to rename the alias file to say <i>"Blue Letter Bible"</i> or leave it as it is. To rename the aliased file, simply
|
|
select the text with your left mouse and <i>hold down the left mouse button until the text background changes</i> to permit you to alter/rename it. <i>Hint: This is
|
|
Mac's method for renaming files and folders.</i></p>
