Need a good print manual for Mavericks and/or Mountain Lion

I'm still a print guy even after using Macs for almost 20 years. I have currently have a copy of David Pogue's Mac OS X Leopard Edition of The Missing Manual and have found it quite helpful over the past seven years. I recently have upgraded my Macs to a 21.5" iMac (summer 2013) running Mountain Lion and a MacBook Pro (January 2014) running Mavericks. Would it be helpful to get Pogue's Missing Manual for Mavericks?
I have not yet updated my iMac to Mavericks. I'm a little leery of the "bugs" that folks say are present in Mavericks. As a matter of fact, I am leery of any Apple system updates. I had problems updating a 2007 iMac and more recently my iPad. But that's another story.
How about Pogue's manual?

Mavericks for Dummies is good too. OS X Mavericks For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech)): Bob LeVitus: 9781118691885: Amazon.com: Books
Usually, though, all the info I need is already in the Help menu.
For what it's worth, I haven't had any problems with Mavericks. Fast and flawless. Almost without exception, the problems people report on this discussion are from incompatible/old/bad third party software, in particular, the crapware twins, MacKeeper and CleanMyMac, and antivirus software.

Free Upgrade to Mavericks and not Mountain Lion?

I noticed I have a free upgrade to Mavericks. However, the application I'm using that prompted the search for the upgrade doesn't support Mavericks, I need Mountain Lion and I can't find a free upgrade to it anywhere. My question is; Why do I have a free upgrade to Mavericks and NOT Mountain Lion?
Thanks much!

Yeah I noticed it's there for purchase, pretty inexpensive as well $20. But I was just curious as to why the newer version is free and I can't find Mt. Lion for free, and that's the one I need. Maybe I'm not looking in the right place or it's just unavailable?

How do i uninstall Mavericks and reinstall Mountain Lion (no disk)

how do i uninstall Mavericks and reinstall Mountain Lion ( i dont have the ML disk)

See https://discussions.apple.com/message/23482513#23482513

Can I set up custom default printer profiles for different printers in mountain lion?

I have 2 printers connected to my Mac. An officejet and an Eltron label printer. I constantly need to manually change the default label printer size to print to the label printer or officejet. Is there a way to set it where all print jobs going to the label printer is 4x6? Sometimes, I forget and waste some labels to the eltron or send a job to my office jet and it prints a 4x6 image of the document on letter paper. Obviously its a bit of a hassle. If anyone has a trick for this or even third party software, please advise.

Andrew,
If i am clear with your requirement then You can achieve this by setting the value manually in PR.

I have a MBP bought in june 2011. I need a good batt life. should i risk installing mountain lion

So, yeah, the title says it all.
I've updated my laptop to Lion quickly after use. I've had some bugs that have never dissapeared, like the cursor dissapearing, safari locking and closing itself, when it goes to sleep it hardly ever gives the full screen back after I press a button, just the little square around my default pic and where I should fill in my password. I've never seen them as much trouble, being used to a constant crashing windows before this one.
Lately we have some internet issues, but that's not my laptops fault. I don't use proxies so I shouldn't have trouble with that.
Let me quickly say that I use my laptop daily. I live quite an end from school and usually watch movies or make homework in the train up and back on my laptop. When I get to school, I just put it on during the first period, load it somewhere during the 3rd, and make it home and load it here. In school, I put it in 'sleep', so I don't restart it every lesson, I'm too lazy to do that. It's in constant use for usually 6 hours in school.
Now, it came to my attention that ML gives some trouble with the battery life. And I can't afford to lose my battery life. That would make my life a lot more complicated, because by doing homework in the train I save a lot of time so I have some free time in the evening, which I usually also spent behind my computer.
I'm downloading ML as we speak, but should I instal it? Or should I wait for a fix for this bug. I've heard from some people that the update makes their batt life better. Does the year you bought it matter, or are that just lucky people?
BTW, if it crashes, I have a Time Machine back up and actually, I don't need it, because there's nothing on it. I copy everything to my HDD, just in case.

This morning my MBP just woke up from sleep and is working without any glitches. I don't know what to say about this.

Where is the manual for Maverick?

I can't seem to locate an online manual for maverick. Is there one given by Apple? If so, what is the URL Please.
Amos

There is no manual. The documentation is via Help. If you have any default application open and need help simply choose from that application's Help menu. This includes the Finder.
If you want printed documentation then you should look for the usual books that are published by third-party authors on how to use Mavericks. David Pogue's Missing Manual series is a good choice. Look for them at Amazon.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions About Mac Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utility is: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption. Drive Genius provides additional tools not found in Disk Warrior for defragmentation of older drives, disk repair, disk scans, formatting, partitioning, disk copy, and benchmarking.
Four outstanding sources of information on Mac maintenance are:
1. OS X Maintenance - MacAttorney.
2. Mac maintenance Quick Assist
3. Maintaining Mac OS X
4. Mac Maintenance Guide
Periodic Maintenance
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) See Mac OS X- About background maintenance tasks. If you are running Leopard or later these tasks are run automatically, so there is no need to use any third-party software to force running these tasks.
If you are using a pre-Leopard version of OS X, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep. Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts was significantly reduced after Tiger. (These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard, Lion, or Mountain Lion and should not be installed.)
Defragmentation
OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive except when trying to install Boot Camp on a fragmented drive. Malware Protection
As for malware protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. Starting with Lion, Apple has included built-in malware protection that is automatically updated as necessary. To assure proper protection, update your system software when Apple releases new OS X updates for your computer.
Helpful Links Regarding Malware Protection:
1. Mac Malware Guide.
2. Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware
3. Macintosh Virus Guide
For general anti-virus protection I recommend only using ClamXav, but it is not necessary if you are keeping your computer's operating system software up to date. You should avoid any other third-party software advertised as providing anti-malware/virus protection. They are not required and could cause the performance of your computer to drop.
Cache Clearing
I recommend downloading a utility such as TinkerTool System, OnyX 2.4.3, Mountain Lion Cache Cleaner 7.0.9, Maintenance 1.6.8, or Cocktail 5.1.1 that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old log files and archives, clearing caches, etc. Corrupted cache files can cause slowness, kernel panics, and other issues. Although this is not a frequent nor a recurring problem, when it does happen there are tools such as those above to fix the problem.
If you are using Snow Leopard or earlier, then for emergency cleaning install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the command line. Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard. (AppleJack works with Snow Leopard or earlier.)
Installing System Updates or Upgrades
Repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand.
Update your backups in case an update goes bad.
Backup and Restore
Having a backup and restore strategy is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your computer. Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. You can never have too many backups. Don't rely on just one. Make several using different backup utilities. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
     1. Carbon Copy Cloner
     2. Get Backup
     3. Deja Vu
     4. SuperDuper!
     5. Synk Pro
     6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance and backup and restore.
Always have a current backup before performing any system updates or upgrades.
Final Suggestions
Be sure you have an adequate amount of RAM installed for the number of applications you run concurrently. Be sure you leave a minimum of 10% of the hard drive's capacity or 20 GBs, whichever is greater, as free space. Avoid installing utilities that rely on Haxies, SIMBL, or that alter the OS appearance, add features you will rarely if ever need, etc. The more extras you install the greater the probability of having problems. If you install software be sure you know how to uninstall it. Avoid installing multiple new software at the same time. Install one at a time and use it for a while to be sure it's compatible.

Most if not all maintenance is for troubleshooting problems. If your computer is running OK, then there isn't really a thing you need to do except repair the hard drive and permissions before installing any new system updates.

Is there a manual for mavericks?

Looking for a PDF manual for mavericks, is there such a thing?

There isn't a PDF manual per se, but open the Finder.
From the Finder menu bar click Help > Help Center or What's new in OS X Mavericks.
And more help here > Apple - Support - OS X

Is there a printed manual for Photoshop Touch?

I'd like a printed manual for Photoshop Touch for Tablet.

I think there was a PDF quick start but that was for version 1.3; we're now on 1.5.1, which is a little different.
My advice for people who just picked up PS Touch is to have a rudimentary understanding of Photoshop's main paradigm: Layers. From there, it's a matter of understanding the similarities and differences between the two.
e.g., Photoshop & Photoshop Elements have adjustment and layer masks but PS Touch lets you "paint" an effect onto a layer, even though it's destructive. (You can, however, mimic something like an adjustment mask by simply inserting a blank layer, filling it with neutral gray, setting the blend mode to Overlay, and then paint with the brush tool using various levels of black or white.)
Effects and adjustments like Curves and Levels work very similarly.

Updated latest update for maverick and am having issues

i updated this past weekend to the latest update for Mavericks. and cannot get past the system setting up screen. what can i do to get past this?

apologizes, the mac is intel, and the update was downloaded from apple. as I recall it asked me if I wanted to setup icloud, and I clicked later. then it started saying "setting your mac up.....".I let it go for a while, two times, thinking it needed more time. it did not take me to the desktop at all.
I just read a discussion about reinstalling mavericks to repair what might have a snag. i also have a call into apple later when i get home.
can you elaborate on reinstalling the mavericks, for repair, without erasing the drive?

Hi lt12345,
I understand that you are looking to use the Photosmart 2710 with Windows 8.1 RT, but are unable to locate a driver. In my attempt to locate a driver I have come up empty handed. It appears that this printer is not supported for printing from Windows RT.

For printer LaserJet Professional CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC

Dear All
for printer LaserJet Professional CM1410 any chance to set printing password for windows and MAC?please help?

What Windows OS are you using? Are you networked?
If you are networked, you have to setup your file and print sharing options in order to require password assess. If you are just trying to control specific files from being printed, you can do that, too.
If you are just trying to control the amount of printing off of a single PC with a printer, you could setup different accounts for each user and limit their access.
Some of the commercial printers can have password options, but I do not find any password options for the CM 1410, other than what I provided earlier.
If I have been helpful, a Kudo is always appreciated.
