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.

Power user tips from the book include how to perform sophisticated searches without wading through the criteria bars, how to successfully search on only parts of words and more. Sharon discusses using boolean operators and the common mistake that can sabotage the search, how tagging does and doesn’t work in Spotlight, and more.

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.

The video version of this interview is available on MacVoicesTV #1163.

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.

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.

Among the functions and features discussed are syncing through MobileMe, MobileMe Mail and the ways it beats Gmail, the uses and shortcomings of iDisk and photosharing and more. Joe explains why, even with its faults, MobileMe is a good value and why you should be a member.

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.

Michael explains how and why it was developed, why not all PDFs are created equal, and some things you can’t natively do with them. PDFpen 5 from Smile solves those problems, and Michael takes us on a tour. From editing text to optical character recognition of non-text, and secure redaction to digital signatures, forms and creating PDFs from scratch, PDFpen 5 lets you take PDFs to the next level. Michael reviews all of this, its graphics editing capabilities, editing tools and more.

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.

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.

Joe talks about some of the ways DEVONthink works, how it fits into a paperless workflow, how it manages the documents and information it organizes, and some of its many capabilities. This Take Control book has some different features, including a screencast; Joe talks about the reasons for the differences, and how they facilitate your getting started with DEVONthink.

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.

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.

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.

Sharon discusses Safari’s improvements in managing and finding information, how Safari stacks up from the standards perspective and whether that’s really important, and delivers some of her favorite tips for organizing tabs and RSS feed information.

Sharon discusses Safari's improvements in managing and finding information, how Safari stacks up from the standards perspective and whether that's really important, and delivers some of her favorite tips for organizing tabs and RSS feed information.

The experts discuss choosing between a Time Capsule, an Airport Extreme or third-party options, the longevity of Apple’s WiFi hardware, and a myystifying new Snow Leopard feature. How the WiFi security landscape has changed, how you may be able to get more out of your existing hardware by just changing channels, and the surprising lack of aggressive Airport marketing are all discussed.

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.

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.

Sharon Zardetto has updated her Take Control book on fonts to Take Control of Fonts in Leopard because even though there are fewer font issues in Leopard, there are still many aspects of font management you need to be aware of. 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.

Joe discusses Time Machine, Leopard’s built-in back-up utility, how it offers an easy-to-implement backup solution for casual users, but why sophisticated users may want to supplement it with a more traditional strategy. Joe talks about some of Time Machine’s quirks, the logic behind its processes and what to do if it starts behaving strangely, as well as explains why you may already qualify for a free copy of the book.

Joe Kissell is back, this time with no NDA restrictions, to give us a full look at his new book, Take Control of Upgrading to Leopard and his well-researched recommendations on the best methods to make the transition easier. Even though Apple does a great job of making transitions between major system software upgrades, there are always things you should be aware of and tweaks you can make during the upgrade. Joe comments on the most basic thing to do before installing Leopard, provides his thoughts on some much-circulated wisdom about system maintenance and makes some suggestions for saving precious hard drive space. Joe also covers potential issues with system add-ons, the issues of Mac OS 9 and Rosetta under Leopard, why upgrading is the perfect time to re-evaluate some of your installed utilities, and reveals one of the best investments you can make for the move to Leopard.
