 Part I: Tie Myself Down with a Desktop? Preposterous!Part I introduces you to the important features of your laptop — you’ll find out where all the cables connect — and helps you set up your system. I also introduce Mac OS X Tiger, Apple’s operating system that comes preinstalled on your MacBook or MacBook Pro. Part II: Shaking Hands with Mac OS X Time to familiarize you with Tiger. In Part II, you find out how to take care of mundane chores (such as moving your stuff), as well as how to customize and personalize your system until it fits like the proverbial glove! Switchers from the PC world will be especially interested in understanding the ins and outs of Mac OS X — and friends, it ain’t hard. The Mac started out easier to use than a Windows PC, and nothing’s changed. Part III: Connecting and Communicating In Part III, it’s time to jump into the one application you’re likely to use every day: your Safari Web browser! You’ll also find out more about Apple’s .Mac Internet subscriber service and how to connect your laptop for printing, sharing information with your PDA or cell phone, and even videoconferencing! Part IV: Living the iLife Ah, readers, you can begin humming happily to yourself right this second! Yep, Part IV provides complete coverage of the latest iLife ’06 release, with the names that are the envy of the Windows crowd: iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie HD, iDVD, and GarageBand. You’ll find out how to turn your mobile monster computer into the hub for all your digital media — whether you listen to it, display it, compose it, or direct it, this part of the book will explain it! Part V: Sharing Access and Information In Part V, I discuss how to share your Mac laptop among a group of people, and how to connect your Mac to a network. (Wired or wireless, makes no difference to us!) I also cover how to share data among wireless devices using Bluetooth technology and iSync, and how to broadcast your music around your house like Wolfman Jack. Part VI: The Necessary Evils: Troubleshooting, Upgrading, Maintaining In Part VI, we cover the stuff my Dad used to call the Justin Case Guide — that is, just in case, you want to upgrade your MacBook with more memory or new hardware. If you need to troubleshoot a problem with your hardware or software, check out my should-be-patented troubleshooting guide. Finally, I describe what you can do to help keep your Mac running as fast and as trouble-free as the day you took it out of the box! Part VII: The Part of Tens The two chapters that make up the famous “Part of Tens” section are served in classic Late Night style: Each chapter contains a quick reference of tips and advice on a specific laptop or Macintosh topic. Each list has ten concise tips, and one or two readers have told me that they make excellent tattoos. Download free mac os ebook: MacBook for Dummies
