My New Mac

You finally took the plunge and bought a Mac. Whether yours is a MacBook, Mac Pro, Mac mini, or iMac - it's still a Mac, and it runs the Macintosh operating system, Mac OS X.

But what do you do with your Mac after you turn it on? Do you even know how to turn it on and off properly or put it to sleep? You need a book like My New Mac to make everything easy.

This simple, project-oriented book will have you doing useful things with your Mac in almost no time. Rather than forcing you to wade through menu after menu to make you an expert on software that you'll only use little bits of anyway, My New Mac focuses on the sorts of things you'll want to do with your new Max now - like surf the Interent, send email, listen to CDs, take notes, and even play with digital photos. Fun stuff, if you know how to do it.

Wallace Wang, author of the best-selling Steal This Computer Book, will show you, step-by-step, how to use tools like iPhoto to organize your spots, track birthdays with iCal and clip and save information from the Inernet so you can find it again. You'll find simple projects that will show you how to:

- Organize your files and folders by color and keyword
- View stocks, flights, and the weather
- Set up and manage parental controls to limit your children's computer and Internet access
- Play and burn CDs and DVDs
- Transfer photos from your digital camera to your computer
- Share songs, images, and documents wirelessly between Macs
- Listen to Internet radio stations and podcasts
- Keep your computer and your information safe from intruders

Don't put off learning how to use your new computer. Let Wallace Wang show you the ropes with My New Mac.
