Getting StartED with Mac OS X Leopard
This book offers a simple to read, fast way to discover all that's new
in Mac OS X Leopard, and how to make the most of it, whether you are new
to the Mac, or simply upgrading from a previous version of Mac OS X. New
additions to the operating system are showcased, including the changes
to the Dock and Finder, and new features such as Stacks, Cover Flow, and
Quick View introduced, before the book moves on to give a basic guide to
using the Mac-creating folders, moving files, installing applications,
and burning CDs, for example. Communication and organization are covered
with chapters on Mail and iChat, including information on how to get the
most of the latest features such as creating to-do items, and reading
RSS feeds in Mail, and sharing screens in iChat. There are chapters that
cover Spaces and Time Machine, perhaps the most talked about feature in
this release of Mac OS X. iLife is fully dealt with, with discrete
chapters on iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie and iDVD, and GarageBand, followed
with a chapter on iWeb showing how to share your creations, and using
Front Row to be entertained by them. The final chapters of the book give
an overview of some more advanced areas of using a Mac, namely how Mac
OS X itself works, and also how to develop for the Mac. These chapters
are intended only to give a glimpse as to the possibilities-the book is
primarily aimed at regular users. A number of appendices conclude the
book, one providing a guide to those users who are switching from
Windows, and another that contains a useful list of recommended Mac
applications for a wide array of uses. In the authors own words "This
book isn't a bible or tome about how to do anything and everything with
Mac OS X, instead its goal is to introduce the major features of Mac OS
X so you can be up and running quickly".
