Sams Teach Yourself the iMac in 24 Hours (4th Edition)

This hands-on, step-by-step guide leads readers through the most frequently asked real-world questions about the iMac-whether on setting up the machine, learning the basics of the operating system, using its applications, or getting on the Internet. Free download Sams Teach Yourself the iMac in 24 Hours books collection in PDF, EPUB, FB2, MOBI, and TXT formats. The book also instructs the reader on e-mail, iMovie, iDVD, iTunes, iPhoto, as well as many other software basics. This edition of the book has been thoroughly rewritten and updated so that it assumes the reader is using a new flat-panel iMac, with Mac OS X installed.The iMac, however intuitively designed, comes with hardly any explanatory literature. Some books have sprung up to fill the gap, and Sams Teach Yourself the iMac in 24 Hours is among the best. Best deals ebooks download Sams Teach Yourself the iMac in 24 Hours on amazon.It walks you through everything--beginning with unpacking your iMac and hooking up its cables--in a style that assumes nothing, without coming off as condescending. Divided into 24 lessons, this book makes it easy to learn about a particular aspect of your iMac in depth during a single sitting. The author explains a feature in general terms first and then explains how to accomplish specific tasks. (It's easy to refer back to these stepped procedures later.) This approach works well for Quicken, Internet connectivity, iMac customization, and other pieces of the system, but AppleWorks coverage seems scanty: only 20 heavily illustrated pages deal with this important productivity suite. The book also would be better if it explained simple networks. Sams Teach Yourself the iMac in 24 Hours earns points by embracing the iMac's more powerful features in addition to its fundamentals. The author explains the contents of the System Folder and provides an appetite-whetting introduction to AppleScript programming. --David Wall Topics covered: Hardware, software, Internet connectivity, hardware upgrades, and customization.

Unlike most reference books of this stripe, the All-In-One Guide doesn't have particularly clear or useful diagrams, nor does it provide much in the way of tables. These types of tools may not be necessary for those familiar with R/3, but for the newcomer such elements can help tie things together.Miller covers the basic R/3 modules and also touches on such issues as shifting operating systems and integrating third-party applications with R/3. Each chapter ends with several pages' worth of questions, followed by somewhat lengthy but useful answers. All in all, this book is an effective guide to the intricacies of R/3, particularly from a study guide perspective. --Sarah L.
