New to Mac - Yosemite (OS) general question (s)


hi,

might adding more questions thread rather keep making threads when have questions, bump 1 each time do. also, thank in advance answers. appreciate it.

questions right are.....(i'm on yosemite on imac 27" retina i5 processor 16gb ram , base 290 graphics card)....

1) how view of apps/documents, etc have open? when go mission control seems show me desktop (safari open). launchpad shows me things can open if want to. icons @ bottom seem same launchpad. have spotify open, document, messages, mail, safari , iphoto.....though can't seem find list of of open "windows" anywhere, whereas on pc tabs @ bottom of screen. i'm using trackpad way

2)this brand new company, opening simple apps part of os (such notes , app store) take literally 15 25 seconds. spinning colorful wheel. internet speed speedy 55-65mbps in speed test , quick load sites , all, loading notes , app (not sure if that's internet related, professor, or os) takes forever downloading apps app store (25 minutes download tiny little game child). i've noticed general lag. example : dragging edge of window make bigger or smaller.....if have website loaded wow picture or lots of text (a usual site), choppy when moving mouse , window. however, if there blank site on screen, not choppy , change size.

everyone!!
 

question 1 if have magic mouse. tap mouse 2 fingers , pages should open.

2nd question, i'm not sure how fix shouldn't take long tasks.
