Synopsis

Now that every new Macintosh computer ships with Mac OS X 10.1, you need Mac OS X 10.1: Visual QuickStart Guide to show you how to get the most out of Apple's radically redesigned operating system. Responding to user input on the initial release of OS X, Apple has improved the already-gorgeous Aqua user interface and added a number of enhancements--all of which veteran Mac author Maria Langer walks you through in this Visual QuickStart Guide.

Offering the detailed, step-by-step instructions and plentiful visual aids that have become hallmarks of the VQS series, Mac OS X 10.1: Visual QuickStart Guide provides everything you need to know to install, configure, and use the OS and its accompanying software. Before you know it, you'll be burning CDs, watching DVD movies, customizing your Dock, sharing files across networks, and more--all on an operating system that has the power, stability, and security of Unix at its core.

Book Overview:

As of January 2002, all new Macintoshes ship with Mac OS X 10.1 as the new default operating system-and that's a good thing. Mac OS X 10.1 is built on Unix, so it gives Mac users the power, stability, and security of that modern operating system. But thanks to Aqua, the name of OS X's gorgeous new interface, Mac users have a brand-new world to explore. A new Finder and floating Dock are designed to help you navigate and organize your system and give you instant access to your most frequently used applications, folders, and minimized windows. In addition, Aqua brightens up your desktop with its expressive icons and vibrant color. Mac OS X 10.1: Visual QuickStart Guide provides step-by-step instructions for learning the latest version of OS X, taking an intuitive, task-based, visual approach. Beginners, and professionals moving up to this new version of the operating system, can quickly learn to use the features and capabilities of this new operating system. Detailed explanations of how to install, set up, configure, and use the OS are covered, along with task-based lessons on how to use many of the built-in applications that Apple ships with OS X 10.1.
