Annotation: The latest update of David Pogue's immensely popular Mac manual offers a wealth of detail on Apple's latest Mac OS X operating system. Known as "Snow Leopard," this version of OS X is faster and more reliable than its predecessors, and no one is a faster or more reliable Snow Leopard resource than bestselling author and New York Times tech columnist David Pogue. His meticulous coverage includes crystal-clear, jargon-free introductions to the Dock, the Mac OS X folder structure, and the Mail application. There are also mini-manuals on iLife applications such as iMovie, iDVD, and iPhoto, and a tutorial for Safari, Mac's web browser. Mac OS X Snow Leopard: The Missing Manual is the authoritative book for Mac users of all technical levels and experience. There's something new on practically every page of this edition, and David Pogue brings his celebrated wit and expertise to every one of them. No wonder it's one of the most popular computer book of all time.

Publisher Description:

For a company that promised to put a pause on new features, Apple sure has been busy-there's barely a feature left untouched in Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. There's more speed, more polish, more refinement-but still no manual. Fortunately, David Pogue is back, with the humor and expertise that have made this the #1 bestselling Mac book for eight years straight. You get all the answers with jargon-free introductions to:

  • Big-ticket changes. A 64-bit overhaul. Faster everything. A rewritten Finder. Microsoft Exchange compatibility. All-new QuickTime Player. If Apple wrote it, this book covers it.
  • Snow Leopard Spots. This book demystifies the hundreds of smaller enhancements, too, in all 50 programs that come with the Mac: Safari, Mail, iChat, Preview, Time Machine.
  • Shortcuts. This must be the tippiest, trickiest Mac book ever written. Undocumented surprises await on every page.
  • Power usage. Security, networking, build-your-own Services, file sharing with Windows, even Mac OS X's Unix chassis-this one witty, expert guide makes it all crystal clear.
