Macworld Senior Editor Christopher Breen offers tips to Apple User Groups from his “Mac 911” support column in Macworld Magazine. Below are some of the problems and questions he address this month.

Chris cover troubleshooting Parental Controls in detail.

Next, he answers the following question about upgrading a MacBook Pro’s hard drive. “I am currently using a 15” Macbook Pro 2.33GHz and I’ve run out of hard drive space. I came across this article at Macworld, and will attempt to swap my hard drive, following the iFixit guide. My question is, for my laptop model, is there a maximum capacity of hard drive that it can take? Would I be able to put in say, a 320GB or 500GB hard drive?”

Finally, he ends up answering a question from a new Windows switcher. “I have a hard time moving between open Microsoft Word documents on my new Mac. In the Windows environment I am used to going between open documents with a keyboard command. Can you offer any suggestions for more easily switching between documents?”
