New Book - How to Do Everything with Mac OS X Panther
How to Do Everything with Mac OS X Panther is a thorough presentation of Mac OS X 10.3 Panther for beginners and intermediate users.
In this hands-on guide, How to Do Everything with Mac OS X Panther, Kirk McElhearn shows his readers how to get the most out of OS X Panther. Features such as Exposé, iChat AV, .Mac, iCal, iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, and iDVD are explained and illustrated in detail. The book provides easy methods for networking and customizing the Mac and important details about computer security, such as encryption solutions.
The book begins with a thorough examination of the new Panther Finder, and how to best use the new Finder windows. It covers all the ins and outs of working with networks, creating user accounts and managing your Mac. A full chapter is devoted to keeping the Mac in tip-top shape with pointers on maintenance and backing up files.
Throughout the book are special notes, shortcuts, and tips, such as how to get the most out of Panther's built-in applications, prolong battery life on an iBook or Powerbook, use iCal to manage your schedule, use iTunes to organize your music, and much more.
A bonus feature of the book is the spotlight on “Writers and their Macs,” which offers glimpses of how three writers work with their Macs: novelist Arthur Golden (Memoirs of a Geisha), screenwriter Mike Rich (Finding Forrester), and suspense writer Jeff Abbott (Cut and Run).
Kirk McElhearn is a freelance Mac author and journalist. He has authored or co-authored a half-dozen Mac books, and is a regular contributor to Macworld magazine and TidBITS.
