That's right, the unthinkable has happened: you can now run thousands of Windows-only programs for business, accounting, gaming, and more, right on your Intel-based Mac-and dive right back into Mac OS X when you're finished. You can take either of two avenues, both of which are described in Chapter 5. First, you can install Apple's free Boot Camp utility, which lets you restart your Intel-based Mac in Windows. Alternatively (or additionally), you can also install a $50 program called Parallels Workstation, whose huge advantage is that it doesn't require a restart; you can have Windows in a window while still remaining in Mac OS X. --------------- Chapter 1 15 (Typo or formatting problem) The text used to read: (See Chapter 11.) It now reads: (See Chapter 12.) --------------- Chapter 1 22 (Update) The text used to read: The title bar has several functions.

If so, the Get Info window says Kind: Universal. If not, it says Kind: PowerPC, and will probably run slower than you'd like because it must be translated by Rosetta (page 11). --------------- Chapter 3 88 (Update) [add this to the caption] And now, a parade of cool Safari list-navigation tips! Press the up/down arrow keys to walk through the list one item at a time. If you press Command with the up/down arrow keys, you jump to the first item in each category (Applications, System Preferences, and so on). If you press the Control key as you hit up/down arrow, you leap to the very top or bottom of the list. And if you press Control with left or right arrows, your insertion point jumps back to the beginning or ending of the Spotlight search box. None of this will be on the test. --------------- Chapter 3 92 (Minor technical error) The text used to read: and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint). It now reads: and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Entourage, and PowerPoint). --------------- Chapter 4 119 (Typo or formatting problem) The text used to read: To turn in the Dock's auto-hiding feature It now reads: To turn on the Dock's auto-hiding feature --------------- Chapter 4 122 (Typo or formatting problem) The text used to read: Control-click [Apple logo] Dock icon, or click and It now reads: Control-click a Dock icon, or click and --------------- Chapter 4 128 (Typo or formatting problem) The text used to read: Tip: There's a great secret shortcut for opening the Customize Toolbar window: Option-c-click the toolbar button It now reads: Tip: There's a great secret shortcut for opening the Customize Toolbar window: Option-Command-click the toolbar button --------------- Chapter 5 137 (Minor technical error) The text used to read: Part Two: The Mac OS X Desktop It now reads: Part Two: Applications in Mac OS X [also corrected spelling of Automator] --------------- Chapter 5 155 (Minor technical error) [change 2 body paragraphs to this:] Mac OS 9 used a similar system, except that you never saw the identifying codes. Instead, it relied on invisible, four-letter creator codes and type codes. Apple carefully monitored and tracked these four-letter codes, in conjunction with the various Mac software companies, so that no two creator codes were alike. When devising Mac OS X, therefore, Apple had quite a challenge: it had to create a Macintosh/Unix hybrid that somehow respected creator codes (so that old Mac OS 9 documents would open) and file name suffixes (so Windows documents would open) and the complex internal database of file types that Unix itself uses. --------------- Chapter 5 156-157 (Minor technical error) Replace all text with this: It's possible to live a long and happy life without knowing anything about these codes and suffixes. Indeed, the vast majority of Mac fans may never even encounter them. But if you're prepared for a little bit of technical bushwhacking, you may discover that understanding creator/type codes and file name suffixes can be useful in troubleshooting, keeping your files private, and appreciating how Mac OS X works. * Type and creator codes. A Macintosh document's four-letter creator code identifies the program that will open it. If you're curious to see these usually invisible codes, download a program like Type and Creator Changer (available from this book's "Missing CD" page at www.missingmanuals.com), and drag the icon in question onto its icon (Figure 5-8). As a little experimentation will soon show you, the creator code for a program and the documents it creates are identical-MSWD for Microsoft Word, FMP7 for FileMaker Pro, and so on. That's the entire point: The creator code tells the Mac which program to open when you double-click a particular document. Type and Creator Changer also reveals the second four-letter code in the DNA of most Macintosh icons: the type code. This code specifies the document's file format. Photoshop, for example, can create graphics in a multitude of different formats: GIF, JPEG, TIFF, and so on. If you inspect your Photoshop documents, you'll discover that they all share the same creator code, but have a wide variety of type codes. Tip: If the type code is supposed to identify the file format of a document, does a standard application have a type code? It does: APPL. When you double-click a document, Mac OS X checks to see if it has a creator code. If so, it then consults an invisible database of icons and codes. This database is the master index that lists the correspondence between creator codes and the applications that generate them. Together, the type and creator codes also specify which picture appears on a particular icon. If the desktop file discovers a match-if, say, you double-clicked a document with creator code BOBO, which corresponds to the AppleWorks entry in your desktop database-then the corresponding program opens the document, which now appears on your screen. * The Unix database. In Mac OS X, documents may not have type and creator codes. Documents created by Cocoa programs (page 170), for example, generally don't. So how does Mac OS X know, when you double-click an icon, what program to open? It consults an invisible, internal Mac OS X database, inherited from Unix systems. The only real interaction you have with it is when you change a document's parent to a different program, as described on the following pages. (Actually, you can open and examine the database-if you're a programmer/geek.) * File name extensions. A file name extension is a suffix following a period in the file's name, as in Letter to Mom.doc. (It's usually three letters long, but doesn't have to be.) These, too, play a role in determining which documents open into which programs-as the operating system's last resort. Note: Mac OS X comes set to hide most file name extensions, on the premise that they make the operating system look more technical and threatening. If you'd like to see them, however, choose FinderAEPreferences, click the Advanced button, and turn on "Show all file extensions." Now examine a few of your documents; you'll see that their names now display the previously hidden suffixes. You can hide or show these suffixes on an icon-at-a-time basis, too (or a clump-at-a-time basis). Just highlight the icon or icons you want to affect and then choose File->Get Info. In the resulting Info window, proceed as shown in Figure 5-9. The bottom line: Mac OS X offers three different mechanisms that associate documents with the programs that created them. Mac OS X looks for type and creator codes first. Where they're absent, the secret database kicks in. And if that's no help, Mac OS X looks at the filename extensions. --------------- Chapter 5 169 (Minor technical error) The text used to read: Because you encounter it only when you're opening an existing file, this dialog box lacks the New Folder button, Save button, file name field, and so on It now reads: Because you encounter it only when you're opening an existing file, this dialog box lacks the Save button, file name field, and so on --------------- Chapter 5 193 (typo) The text used to read: This widget is for skiiers. It now reads: This widget is for skiers. --------------- Chapter 6 199 (Update) The text used to read: If only we could move into Mac OS X and live there! Unfortunately, software makes the world go 'round, and not every program you ever want to use has been written or rewritten for Mac OS X. That doesn't mean you can't use them at all, though. You can certainly run your old favorites within Mac OS X-by flipping back into Mac OS 9. There are two ways you can do that, as described in this chapter. The bad news is that, in that case, you have two different operating systems to learn. The landscape, features, and locations of favorite commands differ in each one. If you're new to the Mac, you can easily get confused. You may see a shiny blue a menu one moment, and a striped one with completely different commands the next, as the machine flips back and forth between the two OSes. There's no solution to this dilemma except to wait until every desirable program is available in a Mac OS X version. Fortunately, most of the biggies are already available for Mac OS X. The sooner you can stop using the Mac OS 9 tricks described in this chapter, the better. It now reads: If only we could move into Mac OS X and live there! Unfortunately, software makes the world go around, and not every program you ever want to use has been written or rewritten for Mac OS X. That doesn't mean you can't use them at all, though. You can certainly run your old favorites within Mac OS X-by flipping back into Mac OS 9. There are two ways to flip back, as described in this chapter. Neither, however, is an ideal solution. First, flipping back into Mac OS 9 means thatyou have two different operating systems to learn. Second, neither method works on Intel-based Macs; the first half of this the is provided for the benefit of pre-Intel Mac owners. The second half of this chapter, however, should be more than enough consolation. It describes how to run-gasp-Microsoft Windows on an Intel-based Mac, using either Apple's Boot Camp utility or the $50 commercial program called Parallels Workstation. --------------- Chapter 6 199-216 (Update) The chapter title and footers used to read: "Back to Mac OS 9" They now say: "Mac OS 9 Programs-and Windows Programs" --------------- Chapter 6 200 (Update) The sidebar used to read: If you bought your Mac within the last several years, you already have a copy of Mac OS 9, right on the hard drive. Thanks to the software downloads page of Apple's Web site, you can update any version of Mac OS 9 to the very latest version (9.2.2). Even if you bought your Mac today, you, too, have a copy of Mac OS 9. It's the folder called System Folder in your main hard drive window. (Don't confuse the folder called System Folder with the folder just called System, which is your Mac OS X folder.) In short, you're completely out of luck only if you have an old Mac that's still running Mac OS 8.5 or 8.6. And for you, Apple has a special offer: $20 buys you a copy of Mac OS 9. (You must prove your worthiness by sending Apple a copy of your Mac OS X receipt.) Details are on Apple's Web site. It now reads: Up until a couple of years ago, Apple included a copy of Mac OS 9 on the hard drive of every new Mac. If that's your situation, it's the folder called System Folder in your main hard drive window. (Don't confuse the folder called System Folder with the folder just called System, which is your Mac OS X folder.) Thanks to the software downloads page of Apple's Web site, you can update any version of Mac OS 9 to the very last version (9.2.2). If you bought your Mac more recently, you may have to get more creative to find a copy of Mac OS 9. For example,you may have to fling yourself on the mercy of friends, hang out at a local Mac user group, or even-gasp-spend some time trolling the likes of eBay.com. --------------- Chapter 6 211 (Update) The text used to read: Subsequent models-including the 12-, 15-, and 17-inch PowerBook G4, the Power Mac G5, Mac Mini, and so on-can't dual-boot; they're all Mac OS X, all the time. It now reads: Subsequent models-including the 12-, 15-, and 17-inch PowerBook G4, the Power Mac G5, Mac Mini, all Intel-based models, and so on-can't boot into Mac OS 9; they're all Mac OS X, all the time. --------------- Chapter 6 212 (Typo or formatting problem) [Cut this from the caption:] Bottom: If you're running Mac OS 9, use the Startup Disk control panel to specify that you want Mac OS X to be in charge at the next startup. -------------- Chapter 6 213-216 (Update) Insert these new writeups: Boot Camp: Your Mac as Windows PC In April 2006, Apple shocked the Cult of Macintosh by releasing what seemed to be a heretical piece of software called Boot Camp. Its sole purpose: to let you install Windows XP on an Intel-based Mac, so that you can run any of the tens of thousands of Windows-only programs. Some people hated the idea--and didn't see the point. Wouldn't Boot Camp open up the Mac to the nightmare world of viruses and spyware that PC owners confront every day? (The answer, by the way, is yes. If you install Windows on your Mac, you must also install Windows antivirus and antispyware software to protect that half of the computer. The Mac side is still unaffected by Windows viruses, however.) But think of all the potential switchers who are tempted by the Mac's sleek looks, yet worry about leaving Windows behind entirely. Or the people who love Apple's iLife programs, but have jobs that rely on Microsoft Access, Outlook or some other piece of Windows corporate-ware. Even true-blue Mac fans occasionally look longingly at some of the Windows-only software (and Internet Explorer-only Web sites) they thought they'd never be able to use. Boot Camp will be a built-in feature of Mac OS X 10.5 (code-named Leopard). Until then, Boot Camp i s a free download for Mac OS X Tiger (10.4.6 or later) from www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp. It's a public beta, meaning it's not technically finished. It runs on any Mac containing an Intel chip. When you download the installer, you get a PDF document that contains the installation instructions. Follow them explicitly--don't skip any of the steps, including the part about backing up your Mac before you begin. You'll be prompted, along the way, to insert a blank CD, which the Boot Camp installer fills with Windows-compatible drivers for your Mac's components. Next, you'll be asked to partition--subdivide--your hard drive (which can't be partitioned already), setting aside a certain amount of space that will hold your copy of Windows and all the PC software you decide to install. (This partitioning process does not involve erasing your whole hard drive, no matter what page 759 says.) Tip: If you choose an amount less than 32 gigabytes for the Windows partition, the Windows installer will let you choose the unappetizingly named scheme called FAT32 as the hard drive format for Windows. The advantage of doing so is that, when it's all over, you'll be able to drag files back and forth from the Windows partition to the Mac partition. (This works only when you're in Mac OS X; when you're in Windows, you can't see the Mac side of the hard drive without a commercial program like MacDrive [macdrive.com].) If you choose the NTFS scheme instead--a requirement if the size is over 32 gigabytes--you can see what's on the Windows partition, but can't add, remove, or change any files. You'll also be prompted to install your own copy of Windows XP (Home or Pro edition), Service Pack 2. No other version of Windows, no multi-disk installation, and no "update CD" will work. The installation process takes about an hour. When it's all over, you can open the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences--it will look something like Figure 6-7--and select either Mac OS X or Windows as your "most of the time" operating system. Weirdly enough, an identical Startup Disk icon appears in the Windows XP Control Panel, too, so that you can switch systems from either "side." Alternatively, you can choose an operating system each time you start up the computer; just press Option key as the Mac is starting up, just as described on page 213. You'll see something like the icons at the bottom of Figure 6-8. Either way, if you choose Windows, then you really do start up in Windows. You can install and run Windows programs, utilities, and even games; you'll discover that they run really fast and well. Parallels: Windows in a Window The problem with Boot Camp is that every time you switch to or from Windows, you have to close down everything you were working on and restart the computer--and reversing the process when you're done. You lose two or three minutes each way. And you can't copy and paste between Mac and Windows programs. There is another way: a $50 utility called Parallels Workstation for Mac OS X (www.parallels.com). It lets you run Windows and Mac OS X simultaneously; Windows hangs out in a window of its own, while the Mac is running Mac OS X (Figure 6-9). It's something like the old, dog-slow emulation software known as Microsoft VirtualPC, with one key difference: speed. Parallels is about 90 percent as fast as Boot Camp--not fast enough for 3-D games, but plenty fast for just about everything else. Once again, you have to supply your own copy of Windows for the installation process. This time, though, it doesn't have to be Windows XP. It can be any version of Windows, all the way back to Windows 3.1--or even Linux, FreeBSD, Solaris, OS/2 or MS-DOS. Having Parallels on your Intel Mac is a beautiful thing. You can be working on a design in iWork, duck into a Microsoft Access database (Windows only), look up an address, copy it, and paste it back into the Mac program. And what if you can't decide whether to use Boot Camp (fast and feature-complete, but requires restarting) or Parallels (fast and no restarting, but no 3-D games)? No problem--install both. They coexist beautifully on a single Mac. Together, they turn the Intel-based Macintosh into the Uni-Computer: the single machine that can run nearly 100 percent of the world's software catalog. --------------- Chapter 9 267 (Typo or formatting problem) The text used to read: For details on the "Jump to the next page" and "Scroll to here" options, see page 32.

In most programs, you don't need Calculator or even a Dashboard widget. Just highlight an equation (like 56*32.1-517) right in your document, and press Cmd-Shift-8. Presto-Mac OS X replaces the equation with right answer. This trick works in TextEdit, Mail, Entourage, FileMaker, and many other programs.

(A Universal program can run natively-at full speed-on either Intel-based Macs or earlier models; a PowerPC program runs natively on older Macs, but somewhat slower on Intel Macs because it has to go through the Rosetta translator described on page 11). This list is a handy summary of which programs have been updated for the Intel generation. --------------- Chapter 11 411 (Minor technical error) The text used to read: Choose Images->New->Disk Image from Folder.

If you forget the Open Firmware password, you can't change the startup disk ever again. Even Apple can't help you out of that situation. It now reads: Then you make up a master password that's required to start up from anything but the internal drive. --------------- Chapter 12 448 (New information) [add this to the sidebar:] (Intel-based Macs, by the way, use startup technology called Extended Firmware Interface.

Quit System Preferences. --------------- Chapter 13 483 (Update) [add this to caption:] (Mac OS X machines won't see this Mac on the network, however, unless you also turn on "Enable File Sharing clients to connect over TCP/IP," shown here at bottom.) --------------- Chapter 13 484 (Typo or formatting problem) Change the sidebar text to read: If your network includes a Mac that's running Mac OS 8.6 through 9.2, setting it up for file sharing follows almost the same steps as outlined above-but the locations of the controls are different. Here's a summary: Setting up user accounts. Use the Users & Groups tab of the File Sharing control panel. Naming the computer. Use the File Sharing control panel. Clicking Start. You do this in the File Sharing control panel, as well. But there's one additional step: In Mac OS 9, turn on the checkbox called "Enable File Sharing clients to connect over TCP/IP," if you have it (see Figure 13-4). If one of your networked Macs runs Mac OS 8.6 or something older, you may be able to see the Mac OS X computers from the old Mac. But if you try to see the old Mac from the Tiger Mac, you'll see the dreaded message, "Connection failed. This file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP protocol. You cannot connect to it." The reason: All modern Macs communicate using the TCP/IP language, just like the Internet. Older Macs spoke only the proprietary AppleTalk protocol. If solving this problem is important to you, a solution awaits: a $40 program called ShareWay IP (www.opendoor.com/shareway). ShareWay, in fact, lets Macs all the way back to System 7.5.5 join in the TCP/IP fun. At that point, you should beready to access the shared disks and folders on your pre-Mac OS X machines while seated at your Mac OS X machines, just as described in this chapter. To go the other way, sit at the older Mac, choose aAEChooser and click AppleShare to see the other network Macs' icons. Double-click away. --------------- Chapter 13 484 (Typo or formatting problem) The text used to read: These features takes a moment to warm up It now reads: These features take a moment to warm up --------------- Chapter 13 495 (Typo or formatting problem) The text used to read: for examplek by clicking the It now reads: for example, by clicking the --------------- Chapter 14 506 (Typo or formatting problem) The text used to read: But you may also want to create 7 printer icons It now reads: But you may also want to create desktop printer icons --------------- Chapter 14 534 (New information) add this sidebar: It may be goofy, it may be pointless, but the Photo Booth program (included on every Mac with a built-in video camera in its forehead) is a bigger time drain than Solitaire, the Web, and "The Sopranos" put together. Open this program and then peer into the tiny camera above your Mac's screen. Photo Booth acts like a digital mirror, showing whatever the camera sees (that is, you). But then click one of the two Effects buttons. Each offers a page full of special-effects previews-and we're talking very special. Some make you look like a pinhead, or bulbous, or a Siamese twin; others simulate Andy Warhol paintings, fisheye lenses, and charcoal sketches. When you find one that looks appealing, click the camera button (or press c-T). You see and hear a three-second countdown, and then snap!-your screen flashes white to add illumination, and the resulting photo appears on your screen. (Its thumbnail joins the collection at the bottom.) To preserve one forever, drag its thumbnail out of the window to your desktop. Or use the FileAEReveal in Finder command to see the actual JPEG file. (Hint: It's in your Home AEPicturesAEPhoto Booth folder.) Caution: Keep away from children. They won't move from Photo Booth for the next 12 years. --------------- Chapter 15 572 (New information) insert new sidebar: FRONT ROW You may have noticed, upon unpacking your shiny new 2005-or-later Mac, that it came with a peculiar accessory: a slim white remote control, looking for all the world like an iPod that's lost too much weight. If you point it at the Mac and press the remote's Menu button, you're catapulted into the magic world of Front Row: a special overlay that provides access to your music, photos, movies, and DVD player-with super-big fonts and graphics that are visible from the couch across the room. (Press Menu again to exit Front Row.) Press the << and >> buttons to highlight your choice-Music, Photos, DVD, or Videos-and use the Play button as the Enter key to choose that kind of entertainment. You'll find, to your delight, that Front Row shows not only all the music you've got in iTunes, all the photos in iPhoto, and so on, but all the music, photos, and videos stored on other Macs on your network (assuming you've left iPhoto and iTunes running on those Macs). The bottom line: your Mac is now an entertainment center that can be operated from across the room. Bit by bit, Apple is sneaking into the living room-and Front Row is its Trojan horse. --------------- Chapter 17 613 (Minor technical error) The text used to read: To make the machine shut down at 5:00 p.m. on November 5, 2005, for example, you could type sudo shutdown 0411051700. (That number code is in year [last two digits]:month:date:hour:minute format.
