Hey hows it going, I'm new to the editor and I'm currently trying to figure out the terrain and doodad editors and what not. I was looking to see how one would actually use the manipulators and what not because it seems I'm stuck on place mode, every time I try to go to one of the different tools it doesn't seem to want to work, so I can't edit any doodads or rotate them or place them elsewhere etc
Help please! Let me know if you want photos
So...bad news. The Mac editor reports the wrong pointer position on Macs, which means you can't use the deformers. You're going to need to switch back to classic controls (the control setup menu is under File, I believe). Then you can use rotation, pitch, roll, and scale to modify your doodads. You'll need to set pitch and roll up with key shortcuts—they don't have defaults.

There are actually a ton of Mac bugs right now. Check out this thread for a semi-complete list. I'm happy to help as much as I can as well—I use the editor quite a lot.
