Hi there and CONGRATULATIONS on your new mac! Isn't it great?!?!?!?
OK, you're not doing anything wrong - everything is loaded correctly.
You have to physically put Google Eart and the other applications you want to include onto your dock (where all the other icons are). This is what you do:
1) Go to your 'finder' icon (the one with the blue man smiling!)
2) Once opened, on your left hand side click once into Applications
3) Once in Applications, find Google Search (or whichever application you want included into your dock) and drag it directly to the dock.
4) There you go - the icon is now part of the 'dock'. If you don't want it anymore, just drag off the dock and it will show a white puff of smoke. Once you let go it will disappear.
Remember though, that these are just aliases, and your originals are always in the Finder (or Hard Drive)
Don't forget that you can go to the AppleStore in your area and attend 'free' workshops on all the applications! Or if you require one-to-one training then you could always buy ProCare for £79 a year. As well as one-to-one training every week there's loads of other benefits. And last but not leaste you could buy .mac where you can have online training.
YOU GO FOR IT!

However, one slight problem/unsure of. On the right side of my sceen there are "drives" for things like msn messenger, google earth. they only appear when i load the application. google earth doent appear anymore. So my question is, have i installed these programes correctly. I have but their icons into the applications folder and done exactly what it said to in the installation.
Cheers in adance.
