Product Description
With Leopard, Apple has unleashed the greatest version of Mac OS X yet, and David Pogue is back with another meticulous Missing Manual to cover the operating system with a wealth of detail. The new Mac OS X 10.5, better known as Leopard, is faster than its predecessors, but nothing's too fast for Pogue and this Missing Manual. It's just one of reasons this is the most popular computer book of all time. Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition is the authoritative book for Mac users of all technical levels and experience. If you're new to the Mac, this book gives you a crystal-clear, jargon-free introduction to the Dock, the Mac OS X folder structure, and the Mail application. There are also mini-manuals on iLife applications such as iMovie, iDVD, and iPhoto, and a tutorial for Safari, Mac's web browser. This Missing Manual book is amusing and fun to read, but Pogue doesn't take his subject lightly. Which new Leopard features work well and which do not? What should you look for? What should you avoid? Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition offers an objective and straightforward instruction for using: Leopard's totally revamped Finder Spaces to group your windows and organize your Mac tasks Quick Look to view files before you open them The Time Machine, Leopard's new backup feature Spotlight to search for and find anything in your Mac Front Row, a new way to enjoy music, photos, and videos Enhanced Parental Controls that come with Leopard Quick tips for setting up and configuring your Mac to make it your own There's something new on practically every page of this new edition, and David Pogue brings his celebrated wit and expertise to every one of them. Mac's brought a new catto town and Mac OS X: The Missing Manual, Leopard Edition is a great new way to tame it.

 Mac OS X Leopard July 14, 2008
Very helpful, well written book. I have purchased a number of books by his author and as usual have found his books most informative. Highly recommend if you have Leopard.
Apple manuel July 10, 2008
As I was a first time Apple computer user, had questions when the computer arrived. My brother, an Apple guru from the beginning, said the only book I would need is the one by Pogue. He was very right. Lots of info for a newbie, and lots of info that seems will be valuable once I get more expert in the use of an nonPC.
Mac Bible July 3, 2008
Nobody writes about Macs better than Pogue, and this volume is really invaluable. It's informative and easy to read. You can't go wrong.
A must-have book for every mac owner June 30, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have used Macs for 20 years and I find them very user friendly. When I purchased Leopard I felt confident that it was going to be as easy to use. And I was correct. However, there are lots of new features in Leopard; things that I did not know it could do - cool things! So I researched books until I found the one that I thought would help me become proficient at Leopard. This is THE book. I have learned so much. It is so easy to read and follow. It is has humor, too.
 The Review not included with the manual. June 29, 2008
Excellent guide to Leopard, as was Pogue's manual for Tiger. His step-by-step style is very helpful in accessing and incorporating the new features in MAC OS.
