Mac OS X: Tiger Edition The Missing Manual 3rd Edition
You can set your watch to it: As soon as Apple comes out
with another version of Mac OS X, David Pogue hits the
streets with another meticulous Missing Manual to cover it
with a wealth of detail. The new Mac OS X 10.4, better known
as Tiger, is faster than its predecessors, but nothing's too
fast for Pogue and Mac OS X: The
Missing Manual. There are
many reasons why this is the most popular computer book of
all time.
With its hallmark objectivity, the Tiger Edition thoroughly
explores the latest features to grace the Mac OS. Which ones
work well and which do not? What should you look for? This
book tackles Spotlight, an enhanced search feature that
helps you find anything on your computer; iChat AV for
videoconferencing; Automator for automating repetitive,
manual or batch tasks; and the hundreds of smaller tweaks
and changes, good and bad, that Apple's marketing never
bothers to mention.
Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition is the
authoritative book that's ideal for every user, including
people coming to the Mac for the first time. Our guide
offers an ideal introduction that demystifies the Dock, the
unfamiliar Mac OS X folder structure, and the entirely new
Mail application. There are also mini-manuals on iLife
applications such as iMovie, iDVD, and iPhoto, those
much-heralded digital media programs, and a tutorial for
Safari, Mac's own web browser.
And plenty more: learn to configure Mac OS X using the
System Preferences application, keep your Mac secure with
FileVault, and learn about Tiger's enhanced Firewall
capabilities. If you're so inclined, this Missing Manual
also offers an easy introduction to the Terminal application
for issuing basic Unix commands.
There's something new on practically every page, and David
Pogue brings his celebrated wit and expertise to every one
of them. Mac's brought a new cat to town and we have a great
new way to tame it.
