Product Description

Product Description

It's little wonder that longtime Windows users are migrating in droves to the new Mac. They're fed up with the virus-prone Windows way of life, and they're lured by Apple's well-deserved reputation for producing great all-around computers that are reliable, user-friendly, well designed, and now - with the $500 Mac mini - extremely affordable, too. Whether you're drawn to the Mac's stability, its stunning digital media suite, or the fact that a whole computer can look and feel as slick as your iPod, you can quickly and easily become a Mac convert. But consider yourself warned: a Mac isn't just a Windows machine in a prettier box; it's a whole different animal and a whole new computing experience. If you're contemplating - or have already made - the switch from a Windows PC to a Mac, you need "Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition". This incomparable guide delivers what Apple doesn't: everything you need to know to successfully and painlessly move to a Mac. "Missing Manual" series creator and bestselling author David Pogue, teams up with 17-year-old whiz kid and founder of 'GoldfishSoft', Adam Goldstein to cover every aspect of switching to a Mac - things like transferring email, files, and addresses from a PC to a Mac; getting acquainted with the Mac's interface; adapting to Mac versions of familiar programs (including Microsoft Office); setting up a network to share files with PCs and Macs; and using the printers, scanners, and other peripherals you already own. Covering the latest in Mac OS X v.10.4 Tiger, "Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition" explains the hundreds of innovative new features to the Mac OS, and how you can understand and make the very most of each. Whether you're a novice or a power user, "Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Tiger Edition", teaches you how to smoothly and seamlessly replace (or supplement) your Windows machine - in a refreshingly funny and down-to-earth style - with a mighty Mac.

Covering the latest features in Mac OS X Tiger, it teaches you how to smoothly and seamlessly switch to a Mac.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't leave your PC without it..., 30 Jan 2007
By M. Sowden (Plymouth, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I finally took the plunge this Christmas and left the murky world of Windows behind for the greener pastures of the Core 2 Duo iMac. It's been a blast so far and I have to say I won't be going back. However, the job of transferring stuff from my old PC to my new iMac would have taken me ages if it weren't for this book.

Cleverly written to be straight forward without ever being patronising, it takes you through everything you ned to know to move (virtual) house and home and acclimatise yourself to your colourful, slick new surroundings. It helped me to transfer all my documents and pictures using my modem router; import my favourites, address book entries and e-mail accounts; set up the mac the way I wanted it; capture my Christmas camcorder footage, add sound and effects using iMovie and burn my first DVD with iDVD. All of this within the first week! I still find myself constantly referring to it to understand this and that. I'm also planning to buy the Missing Manual for iMovie and IDVD.

Believe me, this book will make your first few months on the Apple side of the fence considerably easier and more enjoyable. Anyone thinking og buying a Mac should make this part of the purchase.

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant book, 6 Jul 2007
By V. Krautsova "olkr" (uk) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
i have never owned a Mac and still don't but iam considering a switch from pc. i am considering getting a new laptop, and getting a mac never even occured to me untill i accidentally bumped into tv commercial 'get a mac' while browsing smth on the net. from there i got to Apple site and read a bit more about Mac and their OS. i got really intrigued and after searching the net for reviews from those who switched and info on differences in Os windows ans macintosh, macs started to appeal to me even more. so b4 getting one i decited to buy this book, so i can picture the differences for myself in a bit more detail.

the book is written in simple language, nicely divided into chapters and covers most of the questions that a pc user would wonder about.
eg. 1. there's no right click, how do i save images from the net.
2. will i be able to use msn, yahoo, icq andaol messengers when using a mac?
3. what internet browser is inbuilt there instead of IE, how is it different?
4. how different is the keyboard and the shourtcuts?
and many more

i have not read the whole book, but i was browsing and looking through the questions that would interest me and so far i found all the answers.

so if you are considering making a switch from pc to mac but a bit unsure of how you would adapt to a completely different machine, i would highly recommend this book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Obsolete edition, 7 Nov 2008
I am surprised Amazon is still offering the Tiger edition of this book, when the Leopard edition has been out for some time now.
