About the Author

Tony Bove has written about every iPad, iPod, and iPhone model and every update to iTunes from the very beginning, and not only provides free tips on his website ( www.tonybove.com/tonytips ) but also developed an app (Tonys Tips for iPhone Users). Tony is a technical publications manager for a software company and has written more than two dozen books on computing, desktop publishing, and multimedia, including iPod touch For Dummies, iLife 11 For Dummies, iPad Application Development For Dummies, iPhone Application Development All-in-One For Dummies (all from Wiley), Just Say No to Microsoft (No Starch Press), The GarageBand Book (Wiley), The Art of Desktop Publishing (Bantam), and a series of books about Macromedia Director, Adobe Illustrator, and PageMaker. Tony also founded Desktop Publishing/Publish magazine and the Inside Report on New Media newsletter, and he wrote the weekly Macintosh column for Computer Currents for a decade, as well as articles and columns for a variety of publications including NeXTWORLD, the Chicago Tribune Sunday Technology Section, Macintosh Today, the Prodigy online network, and NewMedia. Tracing the personal computer revolution back to the 1960s counterculture, Tony produced a CD-ROM interactive rockumentary in 1996, Haight-Ashbury in the Sixties (which explains his taste in music in this books examples). He also developed the Rockument music site, www.rockument.com , with commentary and podcasts focused on rock music history. As a founding member of the Flying Other Brothers, which toured professionally for a decade and released three commercial CDs ( 52-Week High, San Francisco Sounds, and Estimated Charges ), Tony performed with Hall of Fame rock musicians.

Dedication

This book is dedicated to my sons, nieces, nephews, their cousins, and all their children... the iPod generation.

Authors Acknowledgments

I want to thank Kathy for putting up with my hectic writing schedule, and John and Jimi for being perfect examples of the iPod generation. I also want to thank Rich Tennant for his wonderful cartoons, and Dennis Cohen for technical expertise beyond the call of duty. And let me not forget my Wiley editor Jean Nelson for ongoing assistance that made my job so much easier. A book this timely places a considerable burden on a publishers production team, and I thank the production crew at Wiley for diligence beyond the call of reason. I owe thanks and a happy hour or three to my agent, Carole Jelen at Waterside. And finally, I have executive editor Bob Woerner at Wiley to thank for coming up with the idea for this book and helping me to become a professional dummy that is, a Dummies author.
