About This Superguide:
Total Lion is the latest in our "Total" Superguide series (following Total Tiger, Total Leopard, and Total Snow Leopard). It covers just about everything you need to know about OS X 10.7 in an information-packed 132-page book. We've taken the best of Macworld's coverage of Lion and distilled it into our Superguide: Read the entirety of Dan Frakes' six-part Lion Installation guide, along with contributions from Macworld staff members Lex Friedman, Dan Moren, Chris Breen, Roman Loyola, Jonathan Seff, and Jackie Dove.
In this book, we walk you through everything you need to know about Lion, starting with a comprehensive rundown of all the new features present in this version of Mac OS X. We help you install Lion, troubleshoot any installation woes, and learn how to set up a boot disc or drive.
Once you've got Lion up and running, discover how to navigate the new interface by using Multi-Touch gestures, Mission Control, and Launchpad; share files in AirDrop; and control other screens via Screen Sharing. Avoid ever having to manually save documents again with Lion's new Auto Save, Versions, and Resume features. Protect yourself from would-be data thieves by using Apple's FileVault 2 encryption functionality. And finally, find out about tons of new features, big and small, that Apple has added to the OS's included applications.
We want to make sure you can read the Total Lion Superguide wherever and whenever you'd like to; as such, we've put the book up for sale in a variety of formats-just choose the one that works best for you.
