Product Description
For a company that promised to “put a pause on new features,” Apple sure has been busy-there’s barely a feature left untouched in Mac OS X 10.6 “Snow Leopard.” There’s more speed, more polish, more refinement-but still no manual. Fortunately, David Pogue is back, with the humor and expertise that have made this the #1 bestselling Mac book for eight years straight. You get all the answers with jargon-free introductions to:
- Big-ticket changes. A 64-bit overhaul. Faster everything. A rewritten Finder. Microsoft Exchange compatibility. All-new QuickTime Player. If Apple wrote it, this book covers it.
- Snow Leopard Spots. This book demystifies the hundreds of smaller enhancements, too, in all 50 programs that come with the Mac: Safari, Mail, iChat, Preview, Time Machine.
- Shortcuts. This must be the tippiest, trickiest Mac book ever written. Undocumented surprises await on every page.
- Power usage. Security, networking, build-your-own Services, file sharing with Windows, even Mac OS X’s Unix chassis-this one witty, expert guide makes it all crystal clear.

Is Windows giving you pause? Ready to make the leap to the Mac instead? There has never been a better time to switch from Windows to Mac, and this incomparable guide will help you make a smooth transition. New York Times columnist and Missing Manuals creator David Pogue gets you past three challenges: transferring your stuff, assembling Mac programs so you can do what you did with Windows, and learning your way around Mac OS X.Why is this such a good time to switch? Upgrading from one version of Windows to another used to be simple. But now there’s Windows Vista, a veritable resource hog that forces you to relearn everything. Learning a Mac is not a piece of cake, but once you do, the rewards are oh-so-much better. No viruses, worms or spyware. No questionable firewalls, inefficient permissions, or other strange features. Just a beautiful machine with a thoroughly reliable system. And if you’re still using Windows XP, we’ve got you covered, too.If you’re ready to take on Mac OS X Leopard, the latest edition of this bestselling guide tells you everything you need to know:Transferring your stuff — Moving photos, MP3s, and Microsoft Office documents is the easy part. This book gets you through the tricky things: extracting your email, address book, calendar, Web bookmarks, buddy list, desktop pictures, and MP3 files.Re-creating your software suite — Big-name programs (Word, Photoshop, Firefox, Dreamweaver, and so on) are available in both Mac and Windows versions, but hundreds of other programs are available only for Windows. This guide identifies the Mac equivalents and explains how to move your data to them.Learning Leopard — Once you’ve moved into the Mac, a final task awaits: Learning your way around. Fortunately, you’re in good hands with the author of Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, the #1 bestselling guide to the Macintosh.Moving from Windows to a Mac successfully and painlessly is the one thing Apple does not deliver. Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition is your ticket to a new computing experience.

Product Description
Good computer books make assumptions about the reader: what they do and don’t know when they pick up the book, and what they want to know when they put it down. For each reader this could be very different; therefore, a book that suits one person may not be the best for another. Mac OS X Leopard: Beyond the Manual makes some assumptions too, ones that tend to differ from other Mac OS X books.
First of all, we assume that you have used a computer in that past: that you know how to use a mouse and you know the proper place to stick a DVD to get it to play in your computer. We won’t be showing you these things. (We will however demonstrate to our Mac converts how to “right click” on a trackpad with only one button!).
Second, we assume you know what you want to do with your computer. We won’t waste your time showing you specifically, step–by–step how to order a pizza from Pizza Galaxy in Milwaukee Wisconsin on the with Safari (though, when you’re done with this book we think you’ll be able to do this just fine? if such a place exists anyway).
Finally, we assume that you are a reasonably intelligent person with who realizes the value of such phrases as “Give a man a fish; you have fed him for today. Teach a man to fish; and you have fed him for a lifetime” and can imagine how that might apply to a computer book.
If this sounds like you, then we think you’ll find this book rewarding.
Inside you will find everything you need to get up to speed with Mac OS X Leopard including:
- Using the standard included Leopard applications including Mail, Safari, Preview, and more
- Taking advantage of the Darwin subsystem in Leopard
- Learning all the ins and outs of the Finder and Leopards improved interface
- Administering your computer for yourself and for others
- Working with other computers and operating systems from you Mac
- Configuring the network to take full advantage of the powerful networking capabilities in Leopard
- Working with add on devices via USB, Firewire, and Bluetooth
- Effectively implementing data backup, recovery and security
- Getting started with OS X development in Leopard
