Figure 5-25 has the details. --------------- Chapter 5 198 (Update) [add after 1st paragraph of caption, and update Figure] After downloading the new widget (you'll have to click a couple of confirmation buttons along the way), you see this display.

First, though, it offers you a trial run, as shown in Figure 5-26 at top. (This "try before you buy" mode was added in Mac OS X 10.4.2 as a security measure; people worried that evildoers of the Internet could pass along a virus to you, disguised as a widget, and you wouldn't know it until you'd already installed it.)If you click Keep, Tiger copies it into your Home->Library->Widgets folder. What's important to notice here is that only you will see that Dashboard widget, because it's been copied into the Widgets folder of your account.

Don't be alarmed at the not-so-congratulatory wording of that message--that's the strongest vote of confidence Disk First Aid can give. Even a brand-new, perfectly healthy disk only APPEARS to be OK to Disk First Aid. It now reads: Tip: If Disk Utility finds nothing wrong with a disk, it reports, "No repairs were necessary." Don't be alarmed at the not-so-congratulatory wording of that message--that's the strongest vote of confidence Disk Utility can give. (Besides, it's a lot better than the old wording, "The disk appears to be OK.") --------------- Chapter 11 409 (Typo or formatting problem) The text used to read: You can also rename the CD or DVD itself just as you would a file or folder (page 60).

If you click Manually, iPhoto creates an entire book for you, complete with attractively arranged pages--but instead of your own pictures, you see only gray rectangles. At the top of the screen, you see thumbnails of the pictures you selected; you're now supposed to drag them onto the gray rectangles, thus assembling your book by hand. It now reads: When you click Choose Theme, a message appears to let you know you have two choices for placing photos onto the book-page layouts: either click the Autoflow button (identified in Figure 10-27), which makes the Mac do the job for you--or drag photos individually into the placeholders.
