Product Description

Book Description

The days of Apple Mac computers being used solely by designers and hard-core Apple fans are long gone: due to their ease-of-use, stability and security, Mac computers are becoming firmly established as genuine alternatives to Windows PCs. What's more, their intuitive interface and versatility makes them ideal machines for the seniors market.

Mac Computing for Seniors in easy steps begins with an overview of Mac computers, covering the different types of desktops and laptops that are available and gives a tour around them so that you quickly feel confident about using them. There is then an extensive look at customizing the desktop so that you can set up your Mac exactly as you want it.

The Mac operating system, OS X, is renowned for being easy to use and also very efficient in terms of performance and security. The book takes an in-depth look at the latest version of OS X, Leopard, covering everything from working with programs to organising folders and files. It also shows how to effortlessly share files with Windows PC machines.

Macs are ideal for leisure activities and Mac Computing for Seniors in easy steps shows how to work with photos, videos and music, using the popular iLife suite of programs. It also deals with the ubiquitous iPod, the new Apple iPhone and hassle-free use of the Internet and email.

The final chapters of the book cover issues such as setting up your own wireless network and also ensuring that your Mac stays secure and virus free.

Mac Computing for Seniors in easy steps shows how to put the fun back into your computing experiences - there's never been a better time to take a bite of an Apple Mac computer.

5.0 out of 5 stars aged person's review, 7 Jun 2009
By 
This review is from: Mac Computing for Seniors in Easy Steps (Paperback)
Anyone over the age of fifty who is contemplating the purchase of an Apple desktop or laptop, should purchaseMac Computing for Seniors by Nick Vandome. In fact, In my opinion, Apple should supply this book with all their Mac Minis or iMacs as it is simplicity itself to read and understand.

As a computer illiterate of 80+ years, I found it to be the best operation manual I have so far come across and I commend it highly.

This review is from: Mac Computing for Seniors in Easy Steps (Paperback)
Contemplating purchase of new computer. Uncertain as to making switch from Windows to an MAC. Have purchased several books in an effort to make a decision. This particular publication, with the use of plain English and large easy to see illustrations, of particular help. Perhaps, will wait for release of Snow Leopard and Windows 7. Both of which I will likely purchase books for clarification.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Silver Surfer's Apple Macintosh Bible, 23 Jun 2009
This review is from: Mac Computing for Seniors in Easy Steps (Paperback)
Mac Computing for Seniors in Easy Steps

I bought this book for my father on his 72nd birthday today and he couldn't be happier. The wording is clear and precise and in plain English. Nick Vandome's book has opened up his MacBook to even more possiblities than he had before with a new sense of computing enjoyment beyond the drab email and web browsing!

A must for any silver surfer on the Apple Macintosh platform.
