The Book That Should Have Been in the Box.
Covers Jaguar 10.2.
Second Edition.
Beginner - Advanced Level Users.
Apple says that 150 new features debut in Mac OS X 10.2, but for once it undercounted. "Jaguar" is a different animal entirely. It's faster, more powerful, and much more customisable - but it still comes without a manual.
The first edition of this manual was the number 1 bestselling computer book of 2002. Now David Pogue brings his humour and expertise to this completely rewritten, greatly expanded edition.
It covers:
- Getting Started: The early chapters demystify the Dock, the Finder toolbar, and the unfamiliar Mac OS X folder structure.
- New Technologies: Mac OS X 10.2 includes dramatic enhancements in Internet integration (Sherlock 3, iCal, iSync, .Mac, built-in firewall, Internet sharing), networking (Rendezvous, Windows compatibility, virtual private networking), and entertainment (iTunes 3, DVD Player, Inkwell, iChat).
- Basics of Unix: You can sail along in Mac OS X without ever realising that you're using Unix. But if you're tempted by the power of the command line, this book contains and gentle, intelligent introduction.
- Finding Familiar Features: This edition includes two the popular "Where'd It Go?" Dictionaries: one for veteran Mac fans, and one for Windows refugees. Look up any traditional feature - and find out precisely where Apple put it in Mac OS X 10.2.
As always, this edition offers warm, witty writing, and bursts with the shortcuts, surprises, and design touches that make the Mac the most passionately championed computer in the world.
