Product Description

Product Description

There's a new cat in town, and Mac OS X Tiger is the next big thing from Apple. The latest version of Mac OS X, Tiger is faster than its predecessors, and packs a host of new features including Spotlight, Dashboard, a totally new Mail application, Automator for making complex tasks simple, and many more. The Mac OS X Tiger Pocket Guide introduces you to the fundamental concepts of using Mac OS X Tiger. The book starts out with a quick run down of Tiger's cool new features, including the new RSS screen saver and the built-in dictionary/thesaurus you can use from any application. The Mac OS X Tiger Pocket Guide shows you how to use the Finder, the Dock, Expos , Spotlight, Dashboard, including tips, tricks, and keyboard shortcuts along the way. You'll learn how to configure your Tiger system using the System Preferences application, and also how to keep your Mac secure with things like FileVault, the Password Assistant, and Tiger's enhanced Firewall capabilities. And because Mac OS X Tiger is Unix-based, you'll also learn how to issue basic Unix commands using the Terminal application. This handy book has over 250 tips and tricks for using and configuring your Mac OS X system, and has been completely revised to cover Mac OS X Tiger. Chuck Toporek has been using Macs since 1988, and is the author of Inside .Mac. He lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife, cat, and far too many books.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful Beginner's Guide, 11 Nov 2007
By Elizabeth Taylor (France) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
I bought this book as I had just purchased a new I-MAC, and, had never had one before so needed some guidance. The book is split into eight sections: 1) What's new 2) MAC/OS Survival Guide 3) MAC/OS Basics 4) System Preferences 5) Applications and Utilities 6) Unix Basics 7) Configuring Your MAC.

In the first month I found the book very useful in helping me setup the desktop in the way that suited me, creating a login, setting up security and getting to grips with the basics. It also had an explanation of what to do if the MAC locks up, and, although its more stable in my experience than windows, yes it does lockup. All the information in the book is available in the manuals within the MAC or on line but I simply prefer to have a paper book that I can refer to (especially for specific tasks such as password management). Since that first month, however, I use it very rarely.

So in summary it's a very useful quick guide to a new starter on the MAC, if you have used one before or if you prefer to learn on line then it's not for you.
