Sounds like what I run into quite often these days.
I want to do with equipment or a computer program but there is no
visible or intuitive means to do something . So I poke, prod, twist,
look again and again, and finally learn that It turns the other way
or snaps off. Or that I have to press Alt or Option to reveal a
secret, unadvertised menu, etc.
In many instances, if you know how it works, the instructions make
perfect sense; if you don't know how it works the instructions are
useless. Sigh...
Yep - know the feeling. It gets even more interesting when you're
using ten-year-old laptops with Mac OS which are, in most cases, no
longer supported by Apple. I just squeaked in with Spyder, as it
supports Mac OS 10.7.
The great thing with these older Macbook Pros is that they have ports
for virtually everything you'd want to connect. No need to scratch
your head wondering which expensive Apple adapter might work.
But then, I still use a Leica made in 1927........ so it's 90 this
year and works beautifully after its big overhaul by Malcolm Taylor
some years ago. See:

Best from sunny Ireland, where it's All-Ireland Gaelic football final day.
