Learn OS X 10.10 Yosemites new features quickly!
Read this ebook to get more out of your Mac as you go about your everyday activities. Written by former Macworld editor Scholle McFarland, this book introduces Yosemites new interface and discusses new features like iCloud Drive, Handoff, iPhone voice/SMS relay, and Notification Centers Today view. Youll learn about key changes in core Apple apps with chapters about Safari, Mail, Messages, and Calendar. Youll also find answers to questions brought on by recent additions to OS X, such as how to control notifications, tips for using Finder tags, and working with tabbed Finder windows.
The book kicks off with an overview of the major changes in Yosemite, so you can come to grips with whats new before you dip into any of the longer topics:
The look: Find out whats important about Yosemites new look, plus discover how to toggle Translucency and Dark Mode. Youll also learn tips for working with the new close, minimize, and full-screen buttons on the windows.
Spotlight: Spotlight can now do more than ever before, so make sure you arent missing out, and make sure youve customized Spotlight to match your needs.
iCloud Drive: Find out what its for, where it works, how to turn it on, and more.
Handoff: Discover how to use Handoff to move from one device to another (say, from your iPad to your laptop) and pick up where you left off in.
Use your Mac as a speakerphone: Learn how to make and answer telephone calls from your iPhone on your Mac (even if your iPhone is in a bag on the other side of your house).
AirDrop: Get the latest on Apples odd AirDrop feature, which now lets you transfer files between an iOS devices and a Mac, instead of just between iOS devices or just between Macs.
Notifications: Get more practical (or fun) use from Notification Center by making use of the new Today view, which you can customize with third-party widgets. Also find directions for getting rid of annoying or distracting notifications.
Scholle also tells you about key changes in core Apple apps:
Safari: Youll notice that Safari is new right away because the toolbar and URL/address field are so different, but its really worth reading this chapter because quite a lot has changed and you can surf more efficiently if you know about the new capabilities.
Mail: If you use Apple Mail, you should know about Mails two major new features: Mail Drop and Markup.
Chat and SMS: Messages in Yosemite is far more useful now, due to its beefed up group chats and capability to send and receive SMS messages relayed through your iPhone.
Calendar: Learn about Calendars new intelligent autocomplete, calendar overlays, and updated Today view.
Finally, the book offers help with aspects of using Yosemite that havent changed much since 10.9 Mavericks, but which many people either havent yet started using or need help with:
Finder tabs: De-clutter your Desktop by using Finder tabs to bring multiple windows into one.
Finder tags: Flexibly organize and find your files with tags rather than relying solely on old-fashioned standard folders.
Accounts: Avoid problems by setting up user accounts for kids and guests, and for troubleshooting unexpected problems.
Problem solving: Make sure you have a copy of this book on an iOS device or secondary Mac so you can pull it out if you need to troubleshoot a serious problem, like an app that wont launch, a login item thats gone bad, or a Mac that wont boot.

If youre primarily curious about the new features Apple added to the operating system and your favorite built-in apps, skip straight to to find the chapters that interest you the most.
Since its only been a year since 10.9 Mavericks was released, my guess it that you probably missed a few of its useful, but not so obvious, tricks. With that in mind, Ive included information about two of my favorites, Finder Tabs and Tags. Finder Tabs let you cut down on window clutter; theyre so simple and useful, you wont believe you havent been using them all along. Finder Tags, on the other hand, let you tag your files so that theyre easier to find later. Start using them today and youll always be able to find the file you need even in messiest of file systems.
Finally, well look at the least you need to know to prepare yourself for trouble: like ways to set up user accounts to avoid problems and how to run Recovery mode when your computer is on the fritz.
Sharing is wired into this ebook, so whenever you run across a tip you love, pass it on! Just use the links at the end of each chapter to send it to friends and colleagues or broadcast it via social media.
