Book Description

Publication Date: 27 Oct 2011 | ISBN-10: 1449397492 | ISBN-13: 978-1449397494 | Edition: 1

With Lion, Apple has unleashed the most innovative version of Mac OS X yet—and once again, David Pogue brings his humor and expertise to the #1 bestselling Mac book. Mac OS X 10.7 completely transforms the Mac user interface with multi-touch gestures borrowed from the iPhone and iPad, and includes more than 250 brand-new features. This book reveals them all with a wealth of insight and detail--and even does a deep dive into iCloud, Apple's wireless, free syncing service for Macs, PCs, iPhones, and iPads.



  • Perfect for newcomers. Get crystal-clear, jargon-free introduction to the Dock, the Mac OS X folder structure, Safari, Mail, and iCloud.

  • Go in-depth. Learn how use key new features such as full-screen apps, Mission Control, the new Mac App Store, Launchpad, Resume, Auto Save, Versions, AirDrop, and more. Are you even more of a power user? Learn to set up a network, make a Lion flash drive, and even learn the basics of Lion's underlying Unix.

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. Apple's brought a new cat to town, and Mac OS X Lion: The Missing Manual is the best way to tame it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelent resource book 4 Dec 2011
By Petrakosek
Format:Paperback
Bought this one after some research of the literature available on the topic.

The book is written excellently, the author explaining everything quickly and easily without making any fuss. I am an advanced computer user with a lot of experience and I find the language to be very easy to understand both for computer literate and non computer literate users.

Also the illustrations are quite useful. Excellent to use as a resource book when you're tryting to do something with your system and you're not sure how to do it or where to find it - just check the topic in the index at the end of the book and you get your answers and know-how quickly.

Highly recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect Mac companion 23 April 2012
By Woody
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have only just recently made the switch from using Windows for the last 16 years to using Mac OS X Lion and felt a little unsure using Mac Lion. As easy as it is to navigate around Lion I was anxious to find out more about it. I came across this book on Amazon and thought why not give it a try, It does have 930 pages after all.

Now although this book seems quite pricey at first compared to other smaller cheaper guide books it does have a lot more to offer and if you're going to spend money on learning the in's and outs of Lion then the bigger the better in my opinion. I've only been reading this book for just over a week now and have found out things that I may never have stumbled across without it. This book is written very well with clear precise and to the point information (with useful illustrations) that can be read by novices and tech geeks alike.

To me this book has been the best reference resource to help me make the Windows to Mac transition.
