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.

 Missing Manual is a Must Have November 23, 2008
This manual really explains not just how, but why! I love the Missing Manual series of books.
Simply the best! November 14, 2008
This book is simply the best . . . whether you are an old Mac hand or just now transitioning from a PC. I love it!
What you need to know November 11, 2008
This thick volume guides you to all sorts of short cuts and unknown features of the latest Mac operating system.
Easy to read and highly recommended.
 Leopard Review-Oct. 08 November 2, 2008
Just purchased this book & find that it almost gives a full explanation. I am not sure if it is me or the book or OS X. Possibly a little bit of all. So many changes have been made by this time that I am not sure the book is able to be completely accurate.
Obviously a tremendous amount of work has gone into the book!
Great guide for a new iMac user October 30, 2008

Just changed over to Apple after years of PCs. Quite a shock for an old dog to learn new tricks, but the Missing Manual books have made the change much less traumatic. I have found the Missing Manuals to be well written, easily understood, and a great help in mastering a new system.
