Editorial Reviews

Review
"…the book admirably teaches a useful range of keyboard short cuts…a good introduction to the Mac." (Mac User, February 2008)

Product Description
Mac OS X Leopard is the new cat in town, and wait until you see all the tricks it can do! Whether you’re new to the Mac or a longtime Mac-thusiast, Mac OS X Leopard For Dummies is the fun and friendly way to have your Leopard purring in no time.

While the Mac has built its reputation in part on being user-friendly, OS X Leopard has lots of features that do lots of things—and that’s where Mac OS X Leopard For Dummies puts you a step ahead. If you’re meeting your first Mac, start at the beginning and you’ll feel like a pro in no time.  If you’re familiar with earlier incarnations of OS X, you can jump right to the chapters on organizing your files and getting a sneak peek with Quick Look, backing up with the cool new Time Machine, using Spaces to manage Finder and application windows, and getting down with all the cool Mac multimedia features.

Mac OS X Leopard For Dummies shows you how to:

  • Customize your Dock and desktop
  • Search smarter with Spotlight
  • Sync your contacts and calendars
  • Watch movies, play music, and download digital photos or video
  • Start video chats on the fly
  • Surf the Web with Safari—safely
  • Get organized with Spaces
  • Run Microsoft Windows on an Intel-based Mac
  • Protect your kids with Parental Controls
  • Set up a network and share files

Written by Bob LeVitus, a.k.a. “Dr. Mac”, Mac OS X Leopard For Dummies is quite likely the fastest and easiest way to tame a Leopard!

2.0 out of 5 stars Don't be a Dummie and Buy It, January 20, 2008
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Getting to know a Leopard, December 7, 2007
By John L. Dunn (Norwich, VT USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Mac OS X Leopard For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Only if you are a beginner, November 28, 2007
By stingray (Covina, Ca. United States) - See all my reviews
This is an excellent book if you never had any experience with Macs. But if you have even a little , it is not worth it.

He barely covers any subject in depth, he touches on subjects that truthfully could be assess in Help. Every little tips, or shortcuts or insiders information- so for a true beginner, is a good book but for anyone else ,save your money and try Help in the mac menu.
