About this Superguide
Nobody spends more time with Apple's computers, and the software you can run on them, than the writers and editors at Macworld.
Although OS X is chock-full of useful features, chances are it still can't do everything you want, exactly the way you want. Luckily, the Mac universe is filled with free and low-cost software—what we like to call Mac gems—just itching to add new features to your Mac. For this book, we pulled together our favorite Mac bargains, as well as helpful tips. Whether you're a power user looking to get more control over your system or a Mac beginner searching for add-ons that will make your life easier, this collection has something for you.
Each of the more than 240 programs in this book has been reviewed and handpicked by a Macworld editor. There are bargain programs that do everything from organizing your files and increasing productivity to customizing OS X and fixing common problems. There are nifty applications for audio editors, graphic designers, students, Internet addicts, and photographers. Save time with must-have shortcut applications and search tools. Discover apps that will make staying in touch easier and working less of a chore. Some of the best gems are subtle, improving on OS X in ways that Apple somehow missed.
