Yes, we know…you’ve been using Mail on your iDevices just fine up until now. What you don’t know is that Mail has been undergoing many changes, especially in iOS 5, and now rivals many desktop mail programs. Joe reviews the changes and updates, and talks about why it may be all the mail program you need. Covering not just Apple’s iCloud mail but also Gmail, an old dog email service that has learned new tricks and one feature that needs Apple’s attention, Joe helps us further refine our email strategy with Apple’s mobile devices in mind.

Choosing not to focus on hardware or software geekery, Maria helps you understand movie making from a practical, creative standpoint. The book is based on her experiences in shooting a mini-documentary, Cherries: From Tree to Truck; because it draws from a real project and not a sample file, you’ll find Maria’s guidance the perfect way to improve your video projects. The discussion includes some simple but effective techniques for using both b-roll and still photos, a few tricks to help improve the look of things, and her biggest surprise in making the video.

After reminding us that iCloud is, at least for the basic service level, free, Joe explains how you need to think of iCloud as different than other online offerings, some strategies to follow to convert from MobileMe, and how to make sense of the Apple ID situation as well as your .me and .mac addresses. iCloud brings with it a roster of services and capabilities; Joe walks us through them from a practical perspective and gets you ready for your move to the cloud.

Joe takes us through how changes in the Mac OS and technology in general have affected backup strategy and design, some of the options that have fallen from favor, and why.

Things keep getting more complex, so your troubleshooting skills have to match. Joe discusses how his own experiences drove this revision, how he selects what topics to cover, and why it is important to learn how to think like a troubleshooter. To get started, Joe talks about corrupt pref files, Time Machine problems and why running Disk Utility isn’t necessarily the second thing to do when a problem arises.

Joe Kissell is back to discuss another in his trilogy of Mac performance books, this time covering the newest revision to Take Control of Troubleshooting Your Mac. Things keep getting more complex, so your troubleshooting skills have to match. Joe discusses how his own experiences drove this revision, how he selects what topics to cover, and why it is important to learn how to think like a troubleshooter. To get started, Joe talks about corrupt pref files, Time Machine problems and why running Disk Utility isn't necessarily the second thing to do when a problem arises.

While it didn’t start out as a series, this book joins Take Control of Troubleshooting Your Mac and Take Control of Maintaining Your Mac to help you get and keep the best performance possible on your Mac. Joe explains how he applies the scientific approach to the subject, and makes the techniques accessible to both geeks and non-geeks alike. Hardware, software, defragmentation and off-the-shelf maintenance utilities are just some of the points covered in this discussion, and are only a small sample of what is in what might be Joe’s most important book yet.

With the ability to organize reference assets of all kinds within Scrivener, outline effectively, use a cork board to order and reorder ideas, and MarkDown support, Scrivener may solve all your writing problems. Kirk discusses getting content in and out of Scrivener, why the full screen mode is important, and how his book will have you taking full advantage of Scrivener’s features in short order.

Newly updated with features like Groove Matching and Flex Time, GarageBand continues to evolve. Jeff explains how these new features draw from, but don’t duplicate, the pro-level Logic program, who will make best use of them, and what it all means for both musicians and non-musicians who want to work and play with music. Also covered are some of the idiosyncrasies of the GarageBand synths, why Jeff thought one book would be easier to update than the other (and why he was wrong), and why GarageBand isn’t GarageOrchestra.

Even though perceived as a media device, more and more business people are adopting the iPad as a way to get things done. Julio talks about the diverse business disciplines where the iPad is playing, and how it is being used for everything from information storage to cash register. While there are, literally, hundreds of thousands of apps available for the iPad, Julio highlights some of those that kept appearing on the lists of people who have adopted the iPad for business.

Deke provides some real-world examples of the power of Illustrator, talks about when it is the right tool for the job, and how moving projects back and forth between Illustrator and Photoshop lets you tap the strengths of both programs. Not just a written-word author, Deke also has Illustrator CS5 One-on-One Fundamentals video training available from lynda.com, and talks about how and why he took to video, the benefits of that format, and how he and lynda.com are hoping to continue improving it. Illustrator’s Live Paint, Live Trace, Deke’s selection of cool, non-boring projects in the education process, and some updates and changes to his many projects are all part of the conversation with one of the best graphics trainers around.

Leading the pack in the “big” category is Reader, a function that makes web page content more legible and accessible by changing it to a standard size, type and style while stripping out a web site’s ads, navigation and more. While good for web surfers, publishers and advertisers haven’t exactly welcomed the feature. Sharon discusses this struggle, along with the other big new Safari feature, Extensions, by talking about their functionality, the two ways to get them, and some of her favorites.

Jeff explains why he and Peachpit decided separate books were best even though there is parity between the two platform versions of Adobe’s approachable photo editing software. New to this version of Elements is the Organizer; Jeff explains what it is, what you can do with it, and how it differs from Bridge. Jeff also talks about why Elements and iPhoto shouldn’t be compared, and what each does best, explains the new content-aware healing technology that is the shining star of Elements 9, and more.

Part of the new Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, Word 2011 has greatly reduced the number of available toolbars, eliminated the formatting palette, and added the much-talked about ribbon. Maria explains why those changes require some learning, but are for the best. The different kinds of tables in Word and which to use for what, the return of macros and why you need to understand privacy and security in Word documents are all part of the discussion.

Karen talks about why you can be happy with an iPhone 3GS, especially if you have limited needs, but why the iPhone 4 is still at the top of the heap. No matter which iPhone you select, Karen helps you get more out of it by reviewing some of the features built in to both the device itself, as well as iTunes that are often overlooked, including Visual Voicemail and prevention of duplicate app purchases. Along the way, Karen touches on HDR photography, using the iPhone 4′s flash, the usability of FaceTime, the need for a “data strategy” for media purchasing and data syncing, and offers some unusual app recommendations.

Yes, the title is a mouthful; Joe explains why it was necessary to accurately reflect the contents of the book, and why it will eventually change. If you thought the unified In-Box in Mail in iOS 4 was the only enhancement, think again. Joe reviews some of the other new features, including moving messages between accounts, the four different ways to access your Gmail account, working with MobilMe’s mail on your iOS4 iDevice, using your own domain or other email service with Mail, and much more.

Glenn compares and contrasts app-based navigation with dedicated hardware devices, identifies three key issues that need to be accounted for if you are going to let your iPhone guide you to your destination, and talks about some hardware accessories you might want to explore. The latest enhancements in display options, why sunglasses and your iPhone don’t mix and features that contribute to convenience and safety are all covered. Glenn also looks at how the download vs. live-over-the-air apps compare with DVD-based dashboard systems, why iPod control considerations are important, and how well all classes of apps handle points-of-interest.

Maria describes how Facebook created a “community page” about her, without her acknowledgement or consent, and invited anyone and everyone to “help.” Facebook’s privacy settings can be a double-edged sword, revealing and restricting your content at the same time. Maria talks about that, as well as the pressure she has been receiving to more actively participate on Facebook and other forms of social media, why that participation is so different from posting things to her blog or having a Wikipedia page, and how easy it is to lose control of one’s online identity. Think it can’t happen to you? It happened to Maria, and she hopes you can learn from her story.

Jeff discusses what is and isn’t optimal in listening to your iTunes library on your iPad, some playlist tricks that are far from obvious, and what he hopes to see corrected soon. Jeff also covers music and video streaming options, how AT&T’s data plan changes may affect your watching and listening habits, and how the iPad both enables and facilitates both ebook reading and impulse book purchases.Links:

Networking on your iPad can be simple, but to get the most out of it, you need to understand that it is all about management – power, what to connect to, service, plans and more. You can do a whole with a properly networked iPad, and Glenn provides you with some examples, including recovering a lost or stolen iPad and controlling other Macs or PCs. Glenn explains why AT&T’s new data plans really shouldn’t affect many users, and how to manage your networking to be sure it doesn’t. Getting data on and off your iPad, ebook access and reading and more are included in Glenn’s discussion of the book.

Networking on your iPad ... Networking guru Glenn Fleishman takes on two very specific topics in his new book, Take Control of iPad Networking #38; Security. Networking on your iPad can be simple, but to get the most out of it, you need to understand that it is all about management - power, what to connect to, service, plans and more. You can do a whole with a properly networked iPad, and Glenn provides you with some examples, including recovering a lost or stolen iPad and controlling other Macs or PCs. Glenn explains why AT#38;T's new data plans really shouldn't affect many users, and how to manage your networking to be sure it doesn't. Getting data on and off your iPad, ebook access and reading and more are included in Glenn's discussion of the book.

Working on your iPad may not be the first think you think of, but Joe helps set expectations, explaining what the iPad is and is not good for, talking about whether it can or cannot replace a laptop, and even if it should. If you adopt a pioneering spirit, and are willing to do a little planning, you can get a lot of work done with your iPad. Joe gives some real-world examples, discusses how cloud apps in general and Google Docs in particular work with the iPad, and covers web surfing limitations and browser alternatives to Safari. Moving digital assets to and from the iPad is currently an “area of pain,” and Joe talks about how to take some of the sting out of the process, the pros and cons of the Calendar app, editing documents on your iPad and more.

Tonya Engst steps out of her usual editor’s role to author her first Take Control book, Take Control of iPad Basics. Tonya explains why this free (yes, free) book forms the cornerstone for a total of four Take Control titles that focus on different aspects of the iPad experience. You think you know the iPad basics? Tonya talks about even though the basics are really basics, there are gestures you may not be familiar with that are so useful, she finds herself trying to use them on her MacBook. This title also covers the many options for syncing your iPad, the interface, Apple’s standards and what developers are doing within those guidelines. Some basic but less-than-obvious tips on using Safari and surfing on the iPad, how best to read all the Take Control books on the iPad, and why the final chapter teaches you how to give a demo of your iPad.

Take Control of Apple Mail in Snow Leopard and Take Control of Mail on the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. To celebrate, Joe takes us on a tour of what each offers to users who are interested in bringing their email to its knees. Joe talks about controlling spam on the server side and how you can use Google to accomplish this, and how Snow Leopard-wide system changes have enhanced Apple’s Mail program. Security is on everyone’s mind; Joe also explains why digital signatures and encryption received so much attention, and why his titles all offer so much more than what Apple lists as new in the current version of Mail. For the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad owner, Joe attacks email from both the philosophical and practical perspectives, discussing how to leverage Google’s many email capabilities and filters without losing your domain identity, why we may see third-party email clients on the iPad, and much more.

To make it more interesting, he brought along two of the contributing photographers, Jeff Lynch and Justin Van Leeuwen. The team talk about how the project came together, the decision to publclly solicit photographs, and why so many shooters decided to get involved. The project took on a life of its own, and the conversation covers it all, from the social networking aspects of digital photography to an explanation of what makes this book different than other instructional and coffee table books, to some good old photographer geek talk.

Joe also reveals what caused him to become such an outspoken advocate of backups (yes, it had to do with email), provides some specific considerations for making the move, how Gmail fits into the IMAP picture, and more.

There are a number of methods of sharing your screen, with our without Apple’s MobileMe service, and Glenn is our guide. He discusses the built-in capabilities of the Mac OS, and the improvements introduced by Snow Leopard to access your Mac across the room or across the country. Screen sharing is one thing but remote control of your Mac is another, and can be just as easy. Glenn discusses how it all works, and gives some real-life examples of how it can be useful.

Joe covers the benefits of purging your files, long-term storage options and how they can both improve your backup performance. Snow Leopard has brought with it some changes when it comes to both Time Machine and bootable backups; Joe guides us through those, as well as names the online backup service that now scores 100 in his metadata tests, and why that is important for you. Joe also reviews how the evolution of hardware is changing your backup choices, including various encryption options.

Mac OS X 10.6 brought with it plenty of new capabilities, including some that involve your Mac and other devices. Michael Cohen helps you do just that in his new book, Take Control of Syncing Data in Snow Leopard. Michael helps you understand Snow Leopard syncing, including the new Sync Diagnostics, the truth database, and syncing with and without a MobileMe account. Think you need to reset your syncing? Michael explains the “thermonuclear option,” what it does, and when you should use it, the benefits of Exchange support, why you might see the Conflict Resolver in iCal even if you don’t make any changes, and more.

Author Joe Kissell isn’t just a tech journalist…he’s a foodie as well, and he blends the two together in Take Control of Thanksgiving Dinner. Applying his tech methodology to preparing the most important meal of the year, Joe talks turkey…literally. Which turkey should you choose? How do you prevent your turkey from drying out? What are the ins and outs of stuffing and where it gets cooked? Buttermilk or half-and-half for the mashed potatoes? Why do you need to start a day or two before? What unusual piece of equipment is essential for good cranberry sauce? Joe and host Chuck Joiner, also something of a foodie, discuss all this and more, including why so many tech-oriented people also enjoy culinary pursuits.

Jeff explains why there is a need for a detailed examination of the apps that come built in to the iPhone, and how you can benefit from getting to know them better. The strength and sophistication of those apps were a key part of the iPhone’s early success; Jeff points out why they shouldn’t be overlooked, even with over 100,000 other apps available. Which apps got the most attention in the book, some tips and tricks that you haven’t thought about, and which app that isn’t built in but is covered in the book are all part of an informative discussion with Jeff.

Joe then turns his attention to the subject of the book, and explains why VMware Fusion 3 is his favorite option for running Windows on the Mac. Joe talks about the many ways of installing Windows using Fusion, and the benefits of each, how you can interact with Fusion from the Mac’s command line (and why you would want to), and how you can even install Mac OS X Server in a virtual machine using Fusion. Sometimes more is less; Joe covers improvements in Fusion’s Unity mode, how the competition to run Windows on the Mac benefits us all, and why improved virtualization options help sell Macs.

If you think you know all you need to know on the subject, you need to hear Kirk explain some of the obvious, and not-so-obvious, uses for accounts, why logging in to an Administrator account is not a good idea for most users, and more. When used properly, users and accounts can be leveraged for such tasks as troubleshooting and parental control. Kirk explains these, talks about why the sun (almost) never sets on the TidBITS empire, and gives us a look at living as a technology author in the French Alps.

Glenn Fleishman, the author of the new Take Control book, Take Control of Sharing Files in Snow Leopard, helps you get a handle on some of the new features (and issues) with sharing files in the latest version of the Mac OS. The new Wake on Demand feature has lots of potential, but only if you understand it and have the hardware and software that supports it; Glenn reviews what you need and how to get it working, then covers the loss of AppleTalk in Snow Leopard and whether it is relevant and debates the benefits of legacy hardware. iTunes 9 has introduced some powerful new file sharing features, and Glenn outlines how they affect your music and video use before sharing his favorite small but mighty file sharing features in Snow Leopard.

The new Take Control book, Take Control of Syncing Data in Leopard, is out, but not without some last-minute changes. Michael Cohen explains why this book (and this interview) had to be revised because of Apple’s early release of Snow Leopard, the release of iPhone 3.0, and even iTunes 9. Each of these both enhanced and complicated the task of syncing your data, and Michael proves himself a master of analogies in explaining each so that any user can make sense of them. Michael reviews the concepts of managed and unmanaged data in Snow Leopard, touches on Exchange support, and why he chose to cover third-party syncing utilities in the book. Bet you didn’t know that film star Hedy Lamarr is responsible for some of the technology in your Mac and iPhone, did you? Michael reveals what it is, how it got there, and what it has to do with the topic of syncing.

Joe reviews some of those changes, including what you need to know about Snow Leopard, Time Machine and Time Capsule; and which option he trusts for performing encrypted backups. Joe also helps you understand why deduplicating has become a new selling point for backup programs and services, the status of the newly updated Retrospect 8 in relation to the competition, and why not every backup methodology is appropriate for every situation.

The latest book from Maria Langer, Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard: Visual QuickStart Guide, was one of the first on the Apple Store shelves. Maria talks about how her book differs from other choices out there, and how her approach to writing and editing contribute to that difference. Maria also discusses why the book can be viewed as both an introduction to the new Mac OS as well as a reference manual, the fact that QuickTime Pro isn’t gone, it just changed locations, and why OS changes can be hard to integrate into your workflow, but are worth the effort.

The latest iteration of Apple’s mobile device adds accessibility features for the first time, and Shelly talks about the difference that VoiceOver, Zoom and White on Black can make.

Too many Mac users live in fear of the command line, and are afraid of even launching the Terminal application. All that changes as Joe talks about why you would want to use the Terminal and what can be done there that is either easier or that can’t be done at all in the Finder. Joe employs more than a few cooking metaphors as he discusses why this Take Control book is different from any of his others, how he approaches the subject in a course-like fashion, and the care he’s taken to be certain that you will encounter no problems on your first journey into the power user’s part of the Mac OS.

You’ve probably been hearing a great deal about the South by Southwest Conference (SXSW), but weren’t sure what all the fuss is about. Mac expert, author and self-designated geek Dori Smith reports in from Austin to tell about her session there and how she stacked the deck, and why this music, film and interactive media conference is so important to Mac users. Dori covers both the formal and informal benefits of SXSW, compares and contrasts it to Macworld Conference & Expo, describes who should and should not attend, and delivers an insider’s hot tip on the best place for productive conversations (and it’s not at the conference itself).

On The Road to Macworld, Newer Technology‘s Grant Dahlke talks about the products that they’ll be showing at in San Francisco. At the top of their list is the Voyager, a drive dock that supports USB 2.0, FireWire 400 and 800 and eSATA connections. Grant explains Voyager’s support of both 2.5 and 3.5 bare drives and how this new option for storage requires a re-thinking of hard drives from both a price and durability standpoint. An ideal option for digital photographers, videographers or anyone who is archiving large volumes of data, Voyager has already earned notice by the NBA. Grant also talks about NewCube, their latest option to make your Mac mini look even better in your living room, the MAXPower 802.11g/b Wireless USB 2.0 Stick Adapter that upgrades older Macs to 802.11n wireless speeds, as well as some of their popular existing products.

The Road to Macworld Conference & Expo

The Road to Macworld Expo is a special MacVoices series produced in partnership with Macworld Conference & Expo to preview some of the exhibitors, speakers and presentations at Macworld Conference & Expo 2009 in San Francisco from January 5-9 at the Moscone Convention Center.

One of the brand new exhibitors at Macworld Conference and Expo this year will be Cultured Code, the maker of the task management software, Things. Michael Simmons, the Marketing Director for Cultured Code discusses both the desktop and iPhone versions of Things. Even though in public preview, with version 1.0 to be introduced at Expo, Things has been in development for two years, and has already branched off to the iPhone, making it a complete task management solution. Michael explains the key features and concepts of Things, why they do and don’t consider it a Getting Things Done (GTD) application, and how they tapped their community for suggestions and improvements, even before the formal software release.

The Road to Macworld Conference & Expo

The Road to Macworld Expo is a special MacVoices series produced in partnership with Macworld Conference & Expo to preview some of the exhibitors, speakers and presentations at Macworld Conference & Expo 2009 in San Francisco from January 5-9 at the Moscone Convention Center.

Michael Cohen helps make sense of the many sync options in the Mac OS in his new book, Take Control of Syncing Data in Leopard. Michael explains why he opted to cover data, and not files, what the difference is, and why data syncing is much more challenging. The truth database, Leopard sync utilities vs. the third-party options, and MobileMe are all discussed, as well as changing your “syncing thinking” to better manage expectations and make sync work, not against, you.

Mac graphics master Deke McClelland is back to discuss his newest book, Adobe Photoshop CS4 One-on-One, as well as two more titles coming very soon, his extensive video series for lynda.com, and more. Deke explains why his book is approachable for the Photoshop novice, but also has plenty of meat for the expert, and how the inclusion of four hours of high-quality video enhances the learning process. Deke is trying to solve the problems of bad or missing Photoshop documentation, and tells us about a feature that is 100% undocumented, and describes two recent projects that have links to “The Shining” and Star Trek, demonstrating why you just can’t trust what you see in any photo that you didn’t take.

In the market for a new digital camera? Larry Chen, the author of Take Control of Buying A Digital Camera helps make sense of the “superzoom” class of cameras. Characterized by powerful optical zoom lenses and high megapixel images, superzoom cameras appear to bridge the gap between consumer cameras and digital SLRs…or do they? Larry explains what superzoom cameras offer and who should consider buying them. The importance of image stabilization, whether face detection features are worth the money, and why lighting considerations are even more important for superzooms are all reviewed. Larry provides some specific camera recommendations and make sense of all the specifications to help you pick the right super zoom for your needs.

Cloud computing is a hot topic, but is it for you. Nancy Conner, the author of Google Apps: The Missing Manual from O’Reilly/Pogue Press, delivers some thoughts on the subject in a look at the software-as-service offerings from Google. Nancy discusses why security isn’t the concern it might be, what is and isn’t missing in the word processing and presentation offerings (for now), and where the online utilities outshine their desktop counterparts. The power of having your productivity applications connected to the web, the sharing and collaboration options and how word-of-mouth is contributing to the spread of Google Apps are all part of why you should take a look at this option for your home or office activities.

Jeff Tolbert, the author of the new Take Control of Recording with GarageBand ’08 is back to discuss the companion to his other new Take Control book, Take Control of Making Music with GarageBand ’08. This time, Jeff focuses on using GarageBand’s recording capabilities to capture what you create and help you turn it into a full-blown musical composition. Jeff talks why an audio interface isn’t required but is recommended for best results, reviews some of the tools built in to facilitate live recordings and some other equipment you might want to consider for your projects. Taking a larger view, Jeff also covers how GarageBand as a tool has been and continues to democratize music creation, encouraging “amateurs” to create tracks that far exceed much of is published commercially.

Jeff Tolbert, the author of the new Take Control of Making Music with GarageBand ’08, talks about one of the two aspects of the program (as contrasted with his other new book, Take Control of Recording with GarageBand ’08), how it has evolved over the life of the program, and who it is targeted for. Jeff discusses some of the newest features such as Magic GarageBand and Visual EQ, provides some tips on using the new arrange track, and talks about how to customize some of the sample tracks that come with the program. GarageBand ’08 is a fun program even if you aren’t a serious musician, and Jeff talks about why it shouldn’t be a great learning tool, but also shouldn’t be underestimated.

Steve discusses how iWeb is often unfairly viewed as an underpowered web authoring solution, and how the new edition addresses some of those perceptions. With better integration with all the iLife ’08 tools, especially iPhoto ’08, and better blogging options, Steve talks about how iWeb has moved firmly into the realm of mid-level web publishing for consumers and beyond. Steve covers how Apple successfully addressed two of the biggest weaknesses of the prior version, some updates he would like to see in the next version, and more.

Jim shares his impressions of Expo, evaluates the MacBook Air, tells you why the new version of Microsoft Office isn’t the big deal it once would have been, and delivers a shocking confession before launching into a discussion of iLife ’08. Jim evaluates the new features included in each component of Apple’s creativity suite, spending some extra time on the iMovie ’08 controversy and why it shouldn’t be one.

Jim Heid, the author of The Macintosh iLife 08, joins Chuck Joiner for a live taping of MacVoices in the Peachpit Booth on the Expo show floor. Jim shares his impressions of Expo, evaluates the MacBook Air, tells you why the new version of Microsoft Office isn't the big deal it once would have been, and delivers a shocking confession before launching into a discussion of iLife '08. Jim evaluates the new features included in each component of Apple's creativity suite, spending some extra time on the iMovie '08 controversy and why it shouldn't be one.

AJ differentiates between developing for the consumer, small business and enterprise markets based on his experiences at NeXT, explains why Apple’s focus on the fist two has been so successful, why developing for the third is so drastically different…and has so little to do with the actual product.

How the team provided feedback to Adobe while in Iceland, and got new beta copies of Lightroom in return, how a carload of models became part of the project and some thoughts on his other new book, Photoshop CS3 Raw: Get the Most Out of the Raw Format with Adobe Photoshop, Camera Raw, and Bridge are all included in this informal discussion.

Mikkel will be presenting in the O’Reilly booth at Macworld Expo, and tells listeners what they’ll learn when they attend his session on Wednesday afternoon, January 16.

Sharon talks about why why you might have font issues with Microsoft Office 2004 if you migrate to Leopard and how to resolve those issues, a font question Leopard asks that you only get to answer once (and you’d better get it right), and tells us which font is named for a catapult.

The world of digital cameras changes fast. That’s why Laurence Chen has updated his book, Take Control of Buying A Digital Camera with the latest information on how to make the selection that’s right for you. Larry talks about some of the features that are trickling down from the higher priced cameras, such as face detection and image stabilization, why all megapixels are not created equal and why zoom may not be as important as you think. Larry also discusses the video capabilities of today’s still cameras, the state of digital SLRs, and provides some recommendations for those in the market for a new or upgraded camera.

The iPhone and the AppleTV each present new challenges and new opportunities to have your information and media where you want it when you want it. Michael talks about how to do just that with both Apple’s own software as well as some third party options, and even shares the secret of syncing the iPhone with multiple computers that is not included in the book. Tips for effectively managing bookmarks, music, movies on your Apple devices, hints for Windows users and even a review of how it all fits into Apple’s two-way definition of the digital hub are all included.

The Mac world is full of acronyms, abbreviations and terminology that can be confusing to the novice and expert alike. Sharon Zardetto, the co-author of Take Control: The Mac OS X Lexicon, talks about the challenge of creating a reference tome that helps make sense of it all while remaining entertaining and useful in ways that a normal lexicon isn’t. She shares some examples from the book, (Do you know why a standard CD holds 74 minutes of audio?), discusses how she and co-author Andy Baird kept the size of the book down to a manageable level while still covering an amazing number of terms, and why this is the perfect companion to any other Take Control book you may already own.

Steve talks about why iWeb shouldn’t be thought of as just an entry-level tool to put photos or simple blogs on the web. With the inclusion of shapes, layers and masks, iWeb can be used to accomplish serious tasks with ease. Steve discusses how to access this power, third-party add-ons, why iWeb is so strongly wedded to .Mac and how it integrates with the other components of iLife ’06 to make multimedia publishing a breeze.
