The huge reference guide you need to use the full power of your Mac.

Macs All-in-One For Dummies truly covers it all. This compete reference guide contains five books in one, so you can learn all your Mac is capable of. You’ll get a complete understanding of your computer, so you can use it for pleasure or business, become a multimedia master, surf the web like a pro, troubleshoot problems as they arise, and so much besides. This latest edition is updated for the newest version of macOS, the hottest apps, and the just-released Macs. Running an older Mac? Don’t worry, this book won’t leave you behind. Everything you need to do on your Mac can be learned with the help of Macs All-in-One For Dummies.

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.
