Download or read book MacOS Big Sur For Seniors written by Scott La Counte and published by SL Editions. This book was released on 2020-11-04 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ★★★ Switching from Windows to Mac? Let's make this as easy as possible! ★★★ Big Sur adds some powerful new features to macOS, which is fantastic news...if you know how to use them. If you're like many adults, however, then your first computer was probably a Windows computer-or maybe it only had a command interface. For most of us, macOS is something a little new. MacOS isn't complicated but switching from another operating system can be a little confusing at first. This guide is intended to help you make the switch. In addition to showing you how exactly it works, it walks you through how you can still do all those Windows things you have grown to love. This book is intended for people who want to get started quickly with the OS. For that reason, it's not as comprehensive as other guides. It covers the most popular features, but not how to do configurations you probably have never heard of and will never want to do. I purposely have done my best to make this handbook a little more casual and fun than what you expect from most macOS manuals. MacOS is a fun operating system, and any guide you read should be an equally fun read. Some of the covered features include: What's new to macOS Big Sur How you do all those Windows "things" on a Mac Apple Services (Apple Music, Apple News, iCloud, Apple Card, Apple Arcade, Apple TV+) Using Siri How to find things / how to organize things to make them easy to find Setting up Internet and Email Using Sidecar Using Control Center Parental Controls Downloading / Updating apps Organizing photos Using Safari Protecting your privacy Managing your passwords Using Maps Making phone calls Sending, replying, and pinning messages Multitasking And much, much more! Are you ready to start enjoying the new macOS? Then let's get started! Note: This book is based off of MacOS Big Sur: Getting Started with MacOS 11 for MacBooks and iMacs but has expanded discussion of accessibility features. It is not endorsed by Apple, Inc. and should be considered unofficial.

Despite its age, people switching to Mac is a relatively new thing. It's no surprise, however.

Download or read book MacOS for Seniors written by Brian Norman and published by . This book was released on 2018-12-27 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I'll make a wild guess: Mac isn't the first operating system you've used. In fact, if you are like most people, you are probably a Windows person. But you've heard a lot of good things about Mac's, it works alongside your phone, and it "Just works"--so you have decided to make the switch. It's not the most complicated operating system--in fact, it's simpler than Windows once you dig into it a little bit and start using it. But there is still a learning curve. This book was written with Window users in mind. I'll walk you through how to use it, but also compare it to Windows--so if there's a feature you're used to in Windows, I'll show you where that same feature is in MacOS. It's not a comprehensive guide, as you have probably noted by the number of pages. It's meant to be a guide that gets you up and running as quickly as possible. If you are looking for something that teaches you all about Unix command prompts in Terminal, then there are plenty of heftier books out there that are also excellent for doorstops. This book is for people who just want to know how the darn thing works so they can start using it I purposely have done my best to make this handbook a little more casual and fun then what you expect from most Mac OS manuals. Mac OS is an operating system, and any guide you read should be an equally fun read. This book is based off the bestselling Mac "The Ridiculously Simple Guide to MacBook, iMac, and Mac Mini."
