Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐Very good book for dummies like me

⭐As in the past “Dr. Mac” LeVitus has written a basic, yet thorough, introduction to this latest version of OS X. Not only does it contain well organized information, but it is fun to read. Each section has clear instructions that are easy to follow when read through as a unit. My one reservation is that the index is not as complete as I would like. The “Dummies” books all add on the cover: “A Reference for the Rest of Us!”. I find that topics that are actually available in the book are not in the index when one tries to look them up. With a better index this would be a much better reference.

⭐I am a first time Mac owner, and I thought this would be just what I needed. IF the author spent less time on being cute, and more on being informative, it might work. There were so many things that were barely touched on including “Mail” that if you are a first time Mac user this book does little to make you feel comfortable with it. Spend a few more dollars and get the “The Missing Manual Leopard Edition. David Pogue takes up almost 900 pages to explain what you need to know as opposed to “Dummies” 450 pages.

⭐You get what you pay for.I was trying to learn how to load a music CD into iTunes and then transfer the edited version to an iPod.This book tells you all the things that can be done but doesn’t tell you how.Example: “Rather than try to explain what everything ….., I encourage you to click anything and everything you see in the main iTunes window. Experiment with……and see what happens”. Look for another source if you are trying to learn how to operate your iMac and need detailed step by step directions.The procedure to transfer any audio (music or book) to an iPod is not even covered in this Dummies edition.Sliderule

⭐This manual seems thorough and well written, full of information, but a problem seems to be that when you come down to details, they’re hard to find. Maybe a problem with all manuals, not just David Pogue. For example, as a new Mac user, I have trouble figuring out how to delete things, and how to change their names without re-saving, and haven’t found help here. There is also no mention of Office for Mac, which surely most Leopard users use, and where these details are especially important.

⭐Excellent product. Super fast shipping. Thank You

⭐An excellent book outlining all the major functions of Mac Leopard. It is more detailed than the title would suggest. It certainly allows a complete beginner to start from scratch if needed, but a more advanced user can skip the more basic parts and go right to the more advanced skills. It has very upbeat dialog and is actually fun to read.

⭐works for me

⭐Good book

⭐excellent condition, prompt dispatch.book itself as good as one would expect from bob levitus.(I did submit a review of this some time ago. i assume it did not reach you)

⭐Utile quand même si maintenant on charge plus souvent son téléphone par USB. Petit bémol car il a fallu deux envois du vendeur pour que j’en reçoive un. Pas la faute du vendeur car il a été plus que correct en faisant un geste commercial.

⭐Not found.
