This manual covers the "Big Book of Apple Hacks," a comprehensive guide designed for users of Apple devices, including Mac OS X Leopard and Tiger, iPods, iPhone, and Apple TV. Authored by Chris Seibold and published by O'Reilly Media, this resource provides a wealth of tips, tricks, and hacks aimed at empowering users to maximize their control over Apple systems and gadgets. It offers detailed, step-by-step instructions for a wide range of modifications, from simple system preference tweaks to advanced under-the-hood adjustments, catering to both novice "switchers" and experienced power users.
The purpose of this manual is to serve as an indispensable tool for anyone seeking to unlock the full potential of their Apple hardware and software. It meticulously details hacks for core applications such as Mail, Safari, and iCal, as well as the iLife suite, and extends to specific hardware like the Mac mini and MacBook laptops. Furthermore, it includes guidance on running Windows on Mac systems via Parallels or Bootcamp. Organized by topic, each hack is presented independently, allowing for easy navigation and immediate application of desired system or gadget adjustments.
Bigger in size, longer in length, broader in scope, and even more useful than our original Mac OS X Hacks, the new Big Book of Apple Hacks offers a grab bag of tips, tricks and hacks to get the most out of Mac OS X Leopard, as well as the new line of iPods, iPhone, and Apple TV.
With 125 entirely new hacks presented in step-by-step fashion, this practical book is for serious Apple computer and gadget users who really want to take control of these systems. Many of the hacks take you under the hood and show you how to tweak system preferences, alter or add keyboard shortcuts, mount drives and devices, and generally do things with your operating system and gadgets that Apple doesn't expect you to do. The Big Book of Apple Hacks gives you:
- Hacks for both Mac OS X Leopard and Tiger, their related applications, and the hardware they run on or connect to
- Expanded tutorials and lots of background material, including informative sidebars
- "Quick Hacks" for tweaking system and gadget settings in minutes
- Full-blown hacks for adjusting Mac OS X applications such as Mail, Safari, iCal, Front Row, or the iLife suite
- Plenty of hacks and tips for the Mac mini, the MacBook laptops, and new Intel desktops
- Tricks for running Windows on the Mac, under emulation in Parallels or as a standalone OS with Bootcamp
The Big Book of Apple Hacks is not only perfect for Mac fans and power users, but also for recent -- and aspiring -- "switchers" new to the Apple experience. Hacks are arranged by topic for quick and easy lookup, and each one stands on its own so you can jump around and tweak whatever system or gadget strikes your fancy. Pick up this book and take control of Mac OS X and your favorite Apple gadget today!
