First Mac ever (former PC person).  What book would you recommend ("MacBook for Dummies" ?) for someone like me who wants to get up to speed quickly ?

I am looking for a book - (maybe something from the "Dummies" series) that will get me up to speed quickly.
I expect to use the MacBook for word processing, email and watching and downloading videos.

The essential book is Amazon.com: Macintosh Bible, The (8th Edition)
Wow, Macintosh Bible goes back to 2001 - not sure how "essential" the information is in 2012.  Happy for you to come back to me on that Kappy and justify your recommendation!
I recommend 'Mac OS X Lion - The Missing Manual' by David Pogue:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mac-OS-Lion-Missing-Manuals/dp/1449397492/ref=sr_1_1?ie= UTF8&qid=1328642593&sr=8-1
The books in the 'for Dummies' series are quite good too but the 'missing manual' book is more thorough and goes into greater depth.

  • What book would you recommend for PE9?

    I'm been using PE 2 & PE 3 for years and I'm ready to purchase PE9, I know it will be a big learning curve, this is why I haven't already updated.  My main interest is restoring old photos or taking a particular thing or person from the photo.  I do genealogy, family calendars etc.
    Thanks

    You could add Barbara's book to the list as well for a comprehensive know-how of PSE 9:

  • What book would you recommend for learning Logic EXPRESS 9?

    Hello.
    I'm going to be getting Logic Express 9 in the next few days.  I was wondering if any of you can recommend a good, up-to-date, book for learning the ins and outs of Logic Express 9?  I've seen a few on Amazon.com that are for Logic PRO and Express.  My concern is that they'll spend a lot of time on talking about Pro functionality and I may be left up in the air with wanting to know what I need to know about Express.
    Please let me know why you like the book(s) that you're recommending, too.
    Thanks very much.
    p.s.  I used Opcode's "Vision" about 20 years ago.  I'm hoping that I'll be able to pick-up Logic Express 9 fairly quickly.

    Hi
    You should not be concerned about 'Pro vs Express'.: they are essentially the same program, with the same functionality. The primary differences are listed here:

    The general word seems to be that The Apple Pro Training Series book by David Nahmani is a very good place to start.

  • I know this may be very subjective. What book do you recommend to learn Photoshop CC 2014?

    I recently acquired program. Signed up at a local community college to take an on line beginner's course. What reference book do you like?

    Taking the college class is a good step. It will bring you up to speed much quicker than learning on your own. Though I never discourage learning on your own as that is how I did it.
    As for books, there are a huge slew of books available. Searching amazon is a good place to start.
    To be honest though, most of my training came from videos so even if your not a big fan of video tutorials, don't rule them out completely. There are times when they can show what a book can not.

  • What books do you recommend?

    I started using Photoshop literally years ago, but then stopped using it for about 3 years. I purchased Photoshop Elements 4.0 and have started diving into it again.
    I have the basics (and if you watched some of my previous posts), I have developed some standard workflows etc...
    I just picked it up by playing (not really reading).
    Can you recommend a book (and/or magazines) that will help me go to the next level.
    I think something that will also teach fundamental photo theory such as "curves" and such would be helpful - because I don't understand that stuff.
    I just know how to play with levels and the shadow/highlight dialogs to get the pictures I want.
    Any help or suggestions would be great!

    I ended up getting the Missing Manual and also The Hidden Powers of PSE 4 by Lynch. I am about 1/2 way through the Missing Manual - and it is GREAT.
    I didn't realize all the things I wasn't using in the program. Some I should have (obvious) and some that weren't obvious.
    I installed the Lynch CD but haven't read the book to understand it.
    I also picked up Rick Sammon's Guide to Digital Photography that covers a lot of general imaging and photography concepts that help fill in some fundamentals... I haven't really cracked that open but will let you know when I do (if it's worth it).
    Some tips I already learned:
    a) I never realized that the Hidden Tag will hide (by default) pictures.... when you tag - they don't hide until you press F5 or exit and restart the organizer. (DUH!)
    b) A GREAT explanation of how to use tags vs collections. Really helped.
    c) Great explanation of what to explore (experiment with) and when. I never really played that much with blending because I didn't understand it and I solved the problem other ways, but now I found many tricks that make simple changes easy. For example, duplicate any layer and choose multiply or screen. You just increased/decreased about 1 F-Stop. Quick and easy. Many others.
    d) Best explanation of all the strengths and weaknesses of the various selection tools.
    Well I got to get back to reading :) ... I should have RTFM or is it RTFHM (hidden manual) a long time ago...

  • What is the difference between Firefox and Firefox os please. I have a Samsung galaxy s3 mini what one would you recommend would be better for my phone

    What is the difference between Firefox and Firefox os, and what one is better for the Samsung galaxy s3 mini, Please could you recommend which one is the best and most suitable for my phone please. Many thanks Michelle Petch

    Thank you for your question.
    Firefox is basically a browser.And Firefox OS is an Operating System.You can install Firefox in your SGS3 just like an android application.But if you want Firefox operating system on it. then you have to flash the ported Firefox OS on your device. Then it will be a completely different standalone operating system.you cannot install android applications on it.
    To read more technical difference read:
    Firefox OS:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firefox_OS
    Firefox Browser:

    Hope this clears your query.Thank you

  • What software would you recommend for an HP Z230 Workstation?

    I just purchased a new Hewlett Packard Z230 Workstation with the intent to catch up on a big backlog (hundreds of hours) of family videos I want to clean up and edit.  This computer is configured as follows:
    Intel I7 4770 Quad Core running 3.4 GHz (showing 8 processors in control panel/system/processor)
    16 GB ram
    256 GB solid state C: drive
    3 TB   7,200 rpm D: Drive
    nVidia Quadro K2000 video card with 2 GB video ram
    Windows 7 Pro 64 bit
    When I bought this, I planned on using Cyberlink PowerDirector because they advertised it to run well with the features on this computer.  I downloaded a trial version of Power Director, and it met my functional needs.  But it locked up three times in an hour.  When I wrote Cyberlink, they asked for information like the DxDiag.txt file that describes my computer, and the Windows Event logs of the lockups.  Their response was BAFFLING, because they said they design their software for "consumer level platforms," and since they don't test their software on "workstations," they cannot recommend my using it on the Z230.
    That said, I'm now looking for alternate software.  I've used Pinnacle a lot in the past, but it has changed so much from the version I used, I'm not wed to any brand at this point.  In addition to usual editing capability, I want to verify that the software I buy has some specific capabilities I need: 
    -- Ability to crop video clips and expand the remaining cropped scene back to 16:9 (because I have some incroachment in some video clips from the lens hood of a camera).
    -- Ability to normalize audio levels for different clips (some too loud or too quiet) before producing the video. 
    -- Desired, not required:  Ability to burn BluRay or DVD on a separate computer than the one where I am editing.
    Most, if not all, editing software has these abilities now (PowerDirector and Pinnacle do), so this shouldn't be a problem, but I just want to check.
    Any help or guidance would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Terry Quinn

    Jim,
    Thanks for the recommendations.
    You'll get a kick out of this.  I started with a Betamovie in 1984, switched to Hi8 in 1993, and D8 in 2005.  My initial editing was from one beta VCR to another one.   Then I bought a good Sony TR101 Hi8 camcorder, and soon bought a $1,300 EV-S3000 Sony Hi8 VCR that connected to the TR101 by wire, which gave some syncronization of the linear edits (about plus or minus 3 frames when it was happy).  In 2004 I bought a powerful (for then) computer and Pinacle Studio 9, which with some upgrades is still what I've edited with until now.  Some of all three formats of video have been digitized (or downloaded from the D8) as .avi using various hardware.  I expect to complete all of that as .avi.
    I've just bought a new Panasonic HC-X920 camcorder (very nice) that produces files in .m2ts, which I think is AVCHD.  As you can probably tell from my history, that may prove to be my last camcorder purchase and format change.  I have no plans now to shoot 4k. 
    I checked, and I've overstated the number of hours of video I have left to do.  I recorded just under 200 hours total in all three formats.  45 hours of that (the Beta) are fully edited, and about 22 hours of the Hi8 are finished.  So I'm looking at about 130 hours of video I still need to edit, plus whatever I shoot in HD going forward.
    I appreciate what you say about stability.  I fought that with Pinacle 9, and frankly didn't change from that because I finally got it to run stably doing what I did for years.  (However recently it has started behaving badly again, which is another reason I'm upgrading). 
    The Quardro came with the HP computer.  The Quadro and GeForce both are spec'd on nVidia's website, and I assumed that since its specs were higher than the GeForce and "matched" Cyberlink's specs for OpenCL, I would be better with the Quadro than the GeForce.  From what I'm hearing here and your recomendation, it sounds like I should sell the Quadro on Ebay and buy a GeForce.  In case I still might end up with Cyberlink, I'll run the card model you suggested by them and see if they "bless" it.
    I know the HP computer supports RAID, because I've seen that come up during boot-up.  I always thought RAID was only about reliable backup.  Are you suggesting that if I put a second 3 TB hard drive in my computer, and somehow tie it into RAID, that will improve performance, too?

  • What Illy CS4 book would you recommend for the beginner to grow with?

    Hello All,
                 I am looking for a good illustrator cs4 book for the beginner to grow with.
    I have read reviews on amazon but thought I might ask the pros.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    The instructions that ship with the program: The Help menu.
    I know it's boring, but if you want to learn a new program, the most expedient way is to work through the provided manual, cover to cover. Don't just read it, actually perform the operations it describes.
    Third-party books almost universally involve these downsides:
    They are expensive.
    They are incomplete. They try to walk a fence-edge between rank beginner and intermediate user; between being merely a too-wordy reiteration of the Help files and next-level techniques for the more experienced user. The reason is obvious: the goal is to sell to as wide a range of users as possible. The result is often unsatisfying: They can't possibly include everything in the Help files, so they leave gaps for the beginner. But they feel compelled to appeal to beginners, so the experienced user has to weed through a bunch of entry-level bulk, just to get to the "juicy stuff" he's interested in. He pay's 100% price for about 15% of the content.
    The are inefficient. They are full of unnecssary verbiage attempting to be clever, cute, hip, friendly, and thereby supposedly more "approachable." Most fail miserably at this, and the result is you have to read through endless passages of such original content as "this will knock your socks off" and "this is awesome" when what you really need is "just the facts, ma'am." The Help files fall under the stylistic guidelines of technical documentation: They adhere to "just-the-facts, ma'am."
    They are short-lived. They go quickly out-of-date, which is one of the reasons why they are too expensive: They have to make their money quickly after release.
    I'm not saying don't buy any. I have a small fortune's-worth myself, all but a dozen or so of which I wish I had never bought. With the money I wasted on them (plus interest), I could buy a new Honda Fury. I'm just saying do the included documentation--however painful--first. And keep doing it for new features when new versions are released. That will get you there the quickest, because it will lay the necessary foundations of overall interface scheme and basic object principles. Then, when you have that understanding, look only for books that are targeted toward an at-least intermediate level user. That way, your money will be spent, but it will be better-invested.

  • What tutorials would you recommend to learn how to create a product brochure?

    I am a beginner on Adobe InDesign CS6 and having just got my first marketing job focused on creating product brochures, I need to work through quite a few tutorials to get me up to speed, I have a basic understanding of Adobe InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop but I need to be competent in these programmes to create product brochures/magazine to a high standard.

    Well, there are two parts to your learning here.
    1. Learn the tools. These are serious professional tools and baffling if you just try to dive in. Worse, if you dive in you will certainly make mistakes, make work hard for yourself, and may need to end up redoing work or doing very poor quality work. A classic example of what happens when diving in: I heard from someone who made office fill-in forms using Photoshop. But a more subtle error is to use InDesign and manually change fonts rather than defining styles.
    2. If you purchased a really neat set of carpenter's tools you still wouldn't make a very good cabinet. This is not just about the tools but about graphic design, a mixture of art and craft. If you are lucky, you have an eye for such work and can recognise the bad work around us for what it is - for example, perhaps you can see where there is not enough white space, where there is poor composition of pictures, where the page is unbalanced, the text too tight or too loose, and basically the work doesn't do its job well. Even those with an eye for this can benefit from studying graphic design, but if you don't have that artistic eye, you will need intensive study before you can make brochures to a high standard. Commonly, this is a multi-year full time course.

  • What applications would you recommend to download for school?

    I just recently bought an IPad... I would like to know what you would recommend to download that would be helpful for school

    Evernote is really good because it has a MAc counter part app so you can have your notes and other things between your iPad and computer, if it is a Mac. The graphing calculator app (any of them) are helpful for homework in Math. And the rest would just be for specific majors or classes. but evernote is a life saver

  • What Tablet Would You Recommend?

    I normally do photo editing, and some graphics design work for the web, but yesterday I went through a video tutorial on using the new Mixing Brush in Photoshop CS5, and I think I might just be hooked on doing some more sophisticated artistic work...
    50 years ago my mother did oil painting.  I never quite "got" what she saw in working with oils until now, and of course this modern Photoshop technology makes it a lot less smelly and messy (and certainly faster)...  I did the above with my mouse only, in a couple of hours, and now it's clear to me that pressure and angle dynamics would be helpful with this kind of work.
    So...  I think I need a tablet.
    What tablet model do you get good results with?
    We hear about a lot of problems (e.g., with Wacom drivers, etc.) here on the forum, but we hear fewer success stories.
    I'm running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate, Photoshop CS5 Standard, and have dual monitors.
    Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences.
    -Noel

    Thanks again guys, and a special thanks to markerline and Doc_Pit for the compliments. 
    Here's the whole thing, if you're curious to see it.
    It's starting to become more clear that a Wacom Intuos 4 may be the model to get, though the size is still a bit up for discussion...
    I am decent with a mouse, so I don't anticipate a problem drawing with the tablet on the desk and watching the activity on the screen.  But since all the mouse operations are with the wrist, I'm not sure whether I'll want to draw "with my fingers" or "with my arm" (thanks for your thoughts on that Bill).  The former (draw with fingers) seems more likely.  I've always been steady with small lettering on engineering drawings, etc.
    I have a clipboard I use as a mouse pad (go figure; all the mouse pads in the world and a clipboard works out to be the best), and I notice that I have worn an area about 8 inches wide and 6 inches high in it.
    Are there any problems having both a mouse and a tablet active at the same time?  Or should I anticipate unplugging one while using the other?  A friend has told me I should try to use just the tablet but I don't believe I'll be able to eliminate my mouse entirely, based on other work I do.

  • What camera would you recommend

    What a great source of information this group is.
    In my quest for knowledge on iMovie HD 6, I have been lurking and reading just about everything posted. I can't help but notice the variety of cameras, and formats that are being used.
    Since I'm at a point of upgrading some of my equipment, I thinking maybe it should include a Camera. I'm sure there must be many makes, and models that would work better with iMovie than what I have, but are there any that would also help in my editing process too?
    I couldn't find a list of cameras that have been recommend, so if there is one, please point me at it.
    In lieu of this, or along with this, maybe you would like to brag on your favorite camera, and share the make and model, and why it is your favorite.
    Of the different formats, Is there one that is better than the others.
    TIA for any information you provide.

    Note that importing hi-definition video from an HDV camcorder will be -v-e-r-y -s-l-o-w- if you're using a G4 iBook. You really need a multi-processor G5, or an Intel-based Mac to import and edit HDV, and for the computer to be able to handle hi-def video in "real time".
    So if you're sticking with your G4 for now, you want a tape-based miniDV camcorder which shoots Standard-Def widescreen (16:9) as well as regular 4:3-shaped video. If you may be getting a new Mac in 6 months or a year, you could get an HDV-and-Standard-Def miniDV camcorder, and just use it in standard-def for now.
    Note that AVCHD camcorders (not ones which use DVDs, but ones which record onto memory chips or hard discs) are only compatible with the new iMovie '08 running on an Intel-based processor, and NOT with iMovie '06, nor iMovie '08 on an older PowerPC processor ..so you would never be able to import AVCHD video directly into any version of iMovie on your G4 iBook (..though you could turn the AVCHD video into iMovie '06 compatible video if you download a separate program called Voltaic ..click on that blue link for details).
    So; tape-based miniDV for use with a G4 iBook (..and iMovie HD '06..), or a newer format of camcorder (AVCHD, hard disc, solid-state memory) or tape-based HDV only if you're going to update your Mac at the same time.

  • My kid likes to play video games that require a right click.  What mouse would you recommend?

    What mouse is best for video gaming?  My son likes to play shootemup games where he has to rearrange troops and shoot aliens.  The games, while ok for a mac, are best with a right click as well as left click.  All I have on the MacBook Pro is a trackpad.  He could get a mouse, but which one?

  • What camcorder would you recommend to buy that has the firewire and ability

    to upload directly to imovie? I have a JVC MG20 which is great but gave me all sorts of complications in adjusting/changing settings etc just to get it into imovie. Im now intending on buying a new one in the next few months which will make my life simpler and i would like peoples opinions and recommendations. The JVC i have now is a hard drive style which i like, dont want to mess around with dvd discs in the camcorder, much rather do my editing on the mac and make a dvd from that.
    Thanks for any advice given...

    Really any Sony or Canon that has firewire and DV Tape...do not get a DVD nor a Hard drive camera, though. They are NOT compatible with iMovie at this time.

  • What system would you recommend for CS5 Master Collection?

    Hi All,
    Hoping to get input on a recommended system configuration for having a computer that has enough under the hood to handle CS 5 in full.
    I have been searching around and it seems like Adobe has links to three different suppliers:
    Dell
    HP
    Lenovo
    However nowhere in any of those links are recommended system configs for CS 5 with prices.
    In reviewing what Adobe has to say they pretty much state to handle the full advantages that CS 5 Master Collection can offer you need:
    16 - 32 gbs of RAM.
    Beast of a Nvidia Graphics Card (only 5 models supported as of yet)
    Lotsa cores like 12 or more...
    Checking HP and a couple configurations with the HP Z800 shows a system that ranges $13k - $16K. Ouch ouch ouch. I haven't bought an HP in almost ten years because I always found they were overpriced with proprietary parts that made easy swap out of parts impossible. Don't know if that is still the case.
    Haven't figured out how to get the Dell Precision 7500 configured the way I want it and can't really tell if it is designed to handle maximum firepower or not.
    If there any Beastmasters out there who can chime in on recommendations and models, it'd be greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    TCF

    I say build your own. Get a semi good i7, stock up on several minimum gpus if you want multiple monitors, I'd say probably 12 gig of low range ddr3. Not hard to set up raid array. All for around 1800.
