Mac OS X Leopard: The Missing Manual
With Leopard, Apple has unleashed the greatest version of
Mac OS X yet, and David Pogue is back with another
meticulous Missing Manual to cover the operating system with
a wealth of detail. The new Mac OS X 10.5, better known as
Leopard, is faster than its predecessors, but nothing's too
fast for Pogue and this Missing Manual.
It's just one of
reasons this is the most popular computer book of all time.
Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition is the
authoritative book for Mac users of all technical levels and
experience. If you're new to the Mac, this book gives you a
crystal-clear, jargon-free introduction to the Dock, the Mac
OS X folder structure, and the Mail application. There are
also mini-manuals on iLife applications such as iMovie,
iDVD, and iPhoto, and a tutorial for Safari, Mac's web
browser.
This Missing Manual book is amusing and fun to read, but
Pogue doesn't take his subject lightly. Which new Leopard
features work well and which do not? What should you look
for? What should you avoid? Mac OS X: The Missing Manual,
Leopard Edition offers an objective and straightforward
instruction for using:
Leopard's totally revamped Finder
Spaces to group your windows and organize your Mac tasks
Quick Look to view files before you open them
The Time Machine, Leopard's new backup feature
Spotlight to search for and find anything in your Mac
Front Row, a new way to enjoy music, photos, and videos
Enhanced Parental Controls that come with Leopard
Quick tips for setting up and configuring your Mac to make
it your own
There's something new on practically every page of this new
edition, and David Pogue brings his celebrated wit and
expertise to every one of them. Mac's brought a new cat to
town and Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition is a
great new way to tame it.
