Have been using sketchup on a pc for 6years. Now on a 27" corei5 imac. Have trouble finding auto-saved files. Sketchup configured to autosave every 5 mins. Happens sometimes, but have had 2 files "untitled" which haven't shown up anywhere......do i need to name these for autosave to work? I did have 2 untitled documents open at same time..maybe i confused the Mac.
This ability to have several files open at once on a Mac ....any advice on its use?

Also noticed that files saved in ":documents" don't adhere to "last modified" request....they are all over the place....(timewise)...I thought Macs were invincible, but not so sure now.

Also, have found painting with textures and colours etc a bit difficult...the pc method seemed so much easier with onscreen colours etc being modified instantly as colour- sliders etc are being altered.Is there a tutorial out there for the Mac method?

I'm on my work PC at the moment but the texture editor is as follows.

Double click on the texture you want to edit. then the edit window appears, then along the top of the window are the colour wheel and the sliders click on them and it should be what you are after.
