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.
