Product 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.

This book is a waste of money. Look up cache in index. It is not there. His method of putting back trash does not work etc.

I purchased the Switching to the Mac Leopard Edition right after I purchased my new iMac. I was very confused and someone suggested this manual. It is written with humor and had been a great help in my quest to learn. Of course there is nothing like experimenting (which I do often because I love to play with my computer), but if I have particular questions, they are in the book in a way that I can understand. I wish the Snow Leopard book had already been out when I got this one, but it is close enough for now.

This book is a little too complete for me. For each subject I had to wade through all the many ways you can invoke each function of each application (which I will never remember). The flow is also broken up with the many sidebars that don’t always go with the text nearby. As a reference, it does have some value, but it is certainly not much of a pleasure to try to read or even skim.
I worried immediately when I found out it was almost as heavy as my MacBook.
