Introduction
When Macs — or Macintoshes, as they were known in the early years — first began to roam the earth in January 1984, they caused quite a fuss. A built-in screen! A graphical user interface! Fonts! A mouse, for crying out loud! Since then, the Mac, despite never being a huge success commercially, has become a cultural touchstone, the computer that even your mom’s mom has heard of. The Mac has always been the computer that the cool kids use.
And the Mac has long had a reputation for being easy to use and friendly to even the greenest of novice computer users. But is that reputation deserved? Are Macs really that easy to learn? I wish I could answer a resounding “Yes!” to both questions, but I’d be lying if I did. Sure, Macs are easier to use than their chief rivals: PCs that run Microsoft Windows. And, sure, most folks can learn the basics of using a Mac without much fuss and even less bother.
But here’s the thing: Your Mac wasn’t cheap, so did you really want to pay all that money just to learn a few basics? Don’t you owe it to yourself (or to the person who bought your Mac, if you’ve been so lucky) to go beyond the basics and really learn what your Mac can do? I’m not saying that you need to turn into a total Mac nerd and master every intricacy and memorize every setting. Forget all that. No, I’m simply suggesting that it’s possible to get way more out of your Mac investment without spending a ton of time or effort.
About This Book
Welcome, then to Macs All-in-One For Dummies, Sixth Edition. This book is your complete guide to everything Mac-related that’s worth knowing. If you’re new to Macs, in Book 1, Chapter 1, I begin at the beginning by giving you a tour of your new computer and taking you gently through a few necessary tasks such as using the mouse (or trackpad) and keyboard and shutting down your Mac when you’re done for the day. You then take a look around the screen (Book 1, Chapter 2), get your Mac connected to your network and to the internet (Book 1, Chapter 3), learn a few file and folder basics (Book 1, Chapter 4), learn about using apps (Book 1, Chapter 5), and learn a few useful customizations (Book 1, Chapter 6).
Once you’ve mastered those basics — or, if you have some Mac experience and perhaps you skimmed the chapters in Book 1; no problem! — from there the book slowly and carefully builds your Mac knowledge in topics such as browsing the web, emailing, and doing other internet-related tasks (Book 2); protecting and networking your Mac (Book 3); enjoying music, podcasts, books, photos, and other media (Book 4); and performing day-to-day tasks such as connecting with people, setting up appointments, and creating documents (Book 5).
This book is a reference, which means you don’t need to read the chapters in order from front cover to back, and you’re not expected to commit anything to memory — there won’t be a snap quiz on Friday. You can dip into the book wherever you want to learn what you need to learn or to find answers to your most pressing questions (those that relate to using your Mac, that is). If you’re short on time, you can safely skip sidebars (the text in gray boxes) and anything marked with the Technical Stuff icon without missing anything essential to the topic at hand.
To help you navigate this book efficiently, I use the following conventions:
Control-click
means to hold down the Control key and click the mouse. If you’re using a mouse that has a left and right button, you can right-click rather than Control-click. If you have an Apple trackpad, tap with two fingers. You find complete explanations of the multitouch gestures in Book 1,
Chapter 2
.
When I refer to the Apple menu — the menu that appears when you click the Apple icon in the upper-left corner of your Mac’s screen — I use the symbol. When I talk about menu commands, I use a command arrow, like this: Choose ⇒ Recent Items ⇒ Calendar. That means to click the Apple icon to open the Apple menu, then click Recent Items in that menu to open a submenu, and then click Calendar in that submenu.
Finally, in this book, you may note that some web addresses break across two lines of text. If you’re reading this book in print and want to visit one of these web pages, key in the web address exactly as it’s noted in the text, pretending the line break doesn’t exist. If you’re reading this as an e-book, you’ve got it easy — just click the web address to be taken directly to the web page.
Foolish Assumptions
In writing this book, I made very few assumptions about you, dear reader. However, to make sure that we’re on the same page, I assume that
You have a Mac, so you can follow along with my explanations and procedures.
If you want to connect with other computers in your home or office, you have the necessary equipment to set up a wired or wireless network.
If you want to do internet-related tasks such as surfing the web or sending email, you have an account with an internet service provider.
You don’t believe that learning how to use a Mac should be all work and no play. Oh, there will be some work for you in these pages, but I also try to inject a little fun as we go along.
Icons Used in This Book
To help emphasize certain information, this book displays different icons in the page margins.
The tip icon marks shortcuts and points out useful nuggets of information that can help you get things done more efficiently or direct you to something helpful that you might not know. Sometimes tips give you a second, or even third, way of doing a task pointed out in a step.
Remember icons mark information that’s been mentioned previously but is useful for the task at hand. This icon often points out useful information that isn’t quite as important as a tip but not as threatening as a warning. If you ignore this information, you can’t hurt your files or your Mac, but it may make the task at hand a bit harder or more time consuming.
This icon highlights interesting information that isn’t necessary to know but can help explain why certain things work the way they do on a Mac. Feel free to skip this information if you’re in a hurry, but try to browse through this information when you have time. You might find out something interesting that can help you use your Mac.
Watch out! This icon highlights something that can go terribly wrong if you’re not careful, such as wiping out important files or messing up your Mac. Make sure that you read any warning information before following any instructions.
Beyond the Book
In addition to the material in the print or e-book you’re reading right now, this product comes with some access-anywhere goodies on the web. Although the Mac uses menus for just about everything, the menu commands have key combination counterparts. I put together a table of the most common key commands, which you can print and keep near your Mac. You also find a table that shows you how to type foreign letters and common symbols and one that summarizes multitouch gestures. To help you stay up to date with the latest Mac news, I provide a list of Mac websites with hot links, which you can simply click to go to each site. To find the cheat sheet for this book, just go to www.dummies.com and type Macs All-in-One For Dummies Cheat Sheet in the Search box.
Where to Go from Here
Dummies books aren’t meant to be read cover to cover. However, this book flows from task to task, chapter to chapter, in an order that would be logical if you’re learning the Mac for the first time. In that case, feel free to start at Book 1 and go through its chapters to familiarize yourself with how the Mac is organized and how you can make it do what you want it to do. Then mix it up, moving on to fun tasks, such as making FaceTime video calls (Book 2, Chapter 5) or designing a flyer with Pages (Book 5, Chapter 3), and then bounce back to a crucial task, such as backing up (Book 3, Chapter 1).
If you’re computer intuitive, you could start with Book 1, Chapter 3 to get your Apple ID and internet connection set up, and then move in the direction you want, whether it’s learning about more advanced system functions in Book 3 or organizing and editing your images by using Photos.
If you’re familiar with the Mac but want to brush up on the latest, read about Control Center in Book 1, Chapter 2; Maps in Book 2, Chapter 6; Books in Book 4, Chapter 3; and the completely updated Pages, Numbers, and Keynote apps in Book 5, Chapters 3–6.
