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.
I go through the process of switching out the hard drive in a MAC powerbook G4. Side note: If you get a error once you power it up that displays the mac folder sign and a question mark back and forth, it means that your system can’t see the new drive. When this has happened to me resetting the hard drives ribbon cable usually takes care of it. I have done this on my machine successfully several time if you have any question please feel free to hit me up. Once more thing I didn’t go over, you will need to have transfered all of you data from the old drive to the new one before you install it, unless you plan of doing a clean install of OS X
This is the eBook version of the printed book. If the print book includes a CD-ROM, this content is not included within the eBook version.

My brother let me use an old Apple notebook computer to view my email. He hasn’t used in years and forgot the administrator password. He upgraded the operating system from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X right after he got it and has since lost the discs for Mac OS X. I can’t upgrade any of the software on it or even load new printer drivers on it.
What are my options on getting an old laptop computer like this to do more than just check email? Anyone with advice as how to create a new Password and/or Administrator?
