Editorial Reviews for Mac OS X Leopard: The Missing Manual
|
With Leopard, Apple has unleashed the greatest version of Mac OS X yet, and David Pogue is back with another meticulous Missing Manual to cover the operating system with a wealth of detail. The new Mac OS X 10.5, better known as Leopard, is faster than its predecessors, but nothing's too fast for Pogue and this Missing Manual. It's just one of reasons this is the most popular computer book of all time. Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition is the authoritative book for Mac users of all technical levels and experience. If you're new to the Mac, this book gives you a crystal-clear, jargon-free introduction to the Dock, the Mac OS X folder structure, and the Mail application. There are also mini-manuals on iLife applications such as iMovie, iDVD, and iPhoto, and a tutorial for Safari, Mac's web browser. This Missing Manual book is amusing and fun to read, but Pogue doesn't take his subject lightly. Which new Leopard features work well and which do not? What should you look for? What should you avoid? Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition offers an objective and straightforward instruction for using: Leopard's totally revamped Finder Spaces to group your windows and organize your Mac tasks Quick Look to view files before you open them The Time Machine, Leopard's new backup feature Spotlight to search for and find anything in your Mac Front Row, a new way to enjoy music, photos, and videos Enhanced Parental Controls that come with Leopard Quick tips for setting up and configuring your Mac to make it your own There's something new on practically every page of this new edition, and David Pogue brings his celebrated wit and expertise to every one of them. Mac's brought a new catto town and Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition is a great new way to tame it.

Customer Rating:  
Summary: Well written and insightful - albeit a computer manual
Comment: It is easy to see how a computer manual might be compared with chloroform. However, this manual mixes in enough humor and sidebar insights to make it a bit more palatable. It begins with just enough basics to get a new user up to speed, without so many chapters on "how to select icons" that it drives away more advanced users. Overall a great resource for anyone learning Mac OS X for the first time, or trying to brush up after wandering in the Windows wilderness...
Customer Rating:

Customer Rating:
Summary: Best computer book I've seen!
Comment: The book brought this new Mac user quickly up to speed. Its in-depth explanations of the myriad of features will be a continuing reference as I delve deeper into the OS. It is truly the Missing Manual and worth its weight in gold. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Customer Rating:
Summary: Use it to learn OS X, and as a reference manual
Comment: Entertaining while educating. I am a recent Mac user, looking for both a learning book as well as a reference book. This fits that need very well. It is written in a style that is easy to read (for the learning part) and organized well as a reference manual to answer a specific question. I chose this book over others on the shelf in bookstores today.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good stuff.
Comment: The book is a big help to a guy like me who knows little about computers. Everything I want to learn is at my very finger tips.
