Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:
⭐when we switched from PCs to Macs (we have four now and no PCs) i wanted a simple reference guide off line in one place. This is it and has been helpful. not sure if they do already, but the Dummies guides need to have a web version as well that can be easily updated because most things involving technology change quickly.
⭐My wife is an avid mac user and this reference manual has been extremely helpful to her. I am a PC user myself but I have to say that this book is well written and easy to understand.
⭐I use this book when I can’t find the answers on line – great if you have got a MAC
⭐Very helpful book. Came in great shape.
⭐this book came in very very good condition – delivery was before expected very reliable vendor
⭐PRO: quick referencing at your fingertips, tangible, no electricity required! thorough table of contents and index.CON: it’s heavy, the title is embarrassing,Despite the title of this book, the `Dummies’ part, it is an extremely useful reference book for long-term users of Apple computers as well as the newbie and / or PC converts. This reverence book takes the reader through the Mac basics it a very friendly, readable way. I’ve been working with Macs for 20 years, since the early 80s when they were first made available and I thought I knew my Apple product. But we must remember that the geniuses as Apple continue to tinker with and improve upon the software of the product as well as the hardware. Therefore, there are always new things to learn, new short cuts, new tips, etc. The world of Apple computing is as organic as an organization and it’s products can get.Apple niche is the ease at which these computers handle the media world. So one big advantage this reference book has over others; ie, Using Mac OS X Leopard.doc, is that it also covers the use of the basic applications that come as standard with every Apple computer. The publishers actually claim that there are 7 mini-books within this one reference that cover Mac basics; working with photos, movies, and music; using the Internet; working with iLife and iWork applications; various other Mac programs; time-saving tips; and networking.Oh my gosh, if you have the time and the inclination, the detail in which this book goes into telling the reader the pros and cons of one of these basic applications, just when, where and the how of using them as well is a breath of fresh air. I have learned more tidbits just thumbing through the pages. It’s not only amazing, it’s fun; it’s refreshing; and it is addictive. Actually knowing the ins, outs and short cuts is what turns an interested buyer of an Apple computer into an enthusiastic fanatics. And believe me, Mac addicts are known for their devotion to the machine. It’s the programmers who keep us hooked!To be able to take advantage of all the bells and whistles for which Apple computers have become known, you need to know them. This reference book also works as a guide for these, offering useful “Tip” on just about every page. You will find this book is not only well written but also well illustrated.The purpose of a reference book is to have it readily available when that one question arises for which a physical book is invaluable, especially if that question covers something to do with your inoperable computer! I know that I refer to this book fairly consistently and certainly over and over again and again.
⭐I purchased this book to keep as a reference after I purchased my new Mac. I have very pleased with this book. I find that it is easy to read and explains in step by step directions many different procedures. Since receiving this book, I have gotten more out of my Mac & hope to discover more in the future.
