Bigger in size, longer in length, broader in scope, and even more useful than
our original Mac OS X Hacks, the new Big Book of Apple Hacks offers a grab bag
of tips, tricks and hacks to get the most out of Mac OS X Leopard, as well as
the new line of iPods, iPhone, and Apple TV.
With 100 entirely new hacks presented in step-by-step fashion, this practical
book is for serious Apple computer and gadget users who really want to take
control of these systems. Many of the hacks take you under the hood and show
you how to tweak system preferences, alter or add keyboard shortcuts, mount
drives and devices, and generally do things with your operating system and gadgets
that Apple doesn't expect you to do. The Big Book of Apple Hacks gives
you:
- Hacks for both Mac OS X Leopard and Tiger, their related applications, and
the hardware they run on or connect to
- Expanded tutorials and lots of background material, including informative
sidebars
- "Quick Hacks" for tweaking system and gadget settings in minutes
- Full-blown hacks for adjusting Mac OS X applications such as Mail, Safari,
iCal, Front Row, or the iLife suite
- Plenty of hacks and tips for the Mac mini, the MacBook laptops, and new
Intel desktops
- Tricks for running Windows on the Mac, under emulation in Parallels or as
a standalone OS with Bootcamp
The Big Book of Apple Hacks is not only perfect for Mac fans and power
users, but also for recent -- and aspiring -- "switchers" new to the Apple experience.
Hacks are arranged by topic for quick and easy lookup, and each one stands on
its own so you can jump around and tweak whatever system or gadget strikes your
fancy. Pick up this book and take control of Mac OS X and your favorite Apple
gadget today!
