Just bought myself a new laptop today, a macbook pro. I am in the middle of doing my masters dissertation so I download tex maker, plug in my usb and get editing what I already have. However for some reason when I add any content it just does not appear on my PDF. This is really confusing me and I guarantee it's something I am stupidly not doing that I should do on first install. Any advice?

On Windows, if you require a copy of a tex distribution here is one option. Uninstall that version TeXmaker. Go to http://miktex.org/. Install the basic version of MikTex.

On OS-X (Mac Pro Book) install MacTex. This posting provides the details Installing LaTeX on Macbook Pro

Now reinstall TeXmaker. It should now run. You can test it with the following:

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
Hello World
\end{document}

After you save the above, Press F6 to compile and then F7 to display the pdf.
