Product Description
Mac OS X Leopard is the new cat in town, and wait until you the tricks it can do! Whether you’re new to the Mac or a longtime Mac-thusiast,
Mac OS X Leopard For Dummies is the fun and friendly way to have your Leopard purring in no time.
While the Mac has built its reputation in part on being user-friendly, OS X Leopard has lots of features that do lots of things—and that’s where
Mac OS X Leopard For Dummies puts you a step ahead. If you’re meeting your first Mac, start at the beginning and you’ll feel like a pro in no time. If you’re familiar with earlier incarnations of OS X, you can jump right to the chapters on organizing your files and getting a sneak peek with Quick Look, backing up with the cool new Time Machine, using Spaces to manage Finder and application windows, and getting down with all the cool Mac multimedia features.
Mac OS X Leopard For Dummies shows you how to:
- Customize your Dock and desktop
- Search smarter with Spotlight
- Sync your contacts and calendars
- Watch movies, play music, and download digital photographs or video
- Start video chats on the fly
- Surf the Web with Safari—safely
- Get organized with Spaces
- Run Microsoft Windows on an Intel-based Mac
- Protect your kids with Parental Controls
- Set up a network and share files
Written by Bob LeVitus, a.k.a. “Dr. Mac”,
Mac OS X Leopard For Dummies is quite likely the fastest and easiest way to tame a Leopard!
Reader Reviews
I am a first time Mac owner, and I thought this would be just what I needed. IF the author spent less time on being cute, and more on being informative, it might work. There were so many things that were barely touched on including "Mail" that if you are a first time Mac user this book does little to make you feel comfortable with it. Spend a few more dollars and get the "The Missing Manual Leopard Edition. David Pogue takes up almost 900 pages to explain what you need to know as opposed to "Dummies" 450 pages.
