Master the fundamentals of using a Mac!
Version 2.0, updated September 15, 2025

This book is a thorough, friendly guide to using a Mac, starting from scratch. It covers both the Mac hardware and macOS, as well as Apple’s built-in apps. Whether you're a new to Macs or someone who has been struggling because no one ever taught you the ins and outs, you'll learn how to become a confident Mac user.

Macs don't come with instruction manuals, and most Mac users have never taken a class on all the major concepts, terms, and skills needed to feel comfortable and productive. As a result, it's all too easy to end up cobbling together a sketchy understanding based on trial and error, web searches, and tips from friends and family. This book changes all that.

Written by bestselling author Joe Kissell, Mac Basics starts from square one, so even an absolute beginner can follow along. Joe offers a systematic introduction to your Mac's hardware and software, helping you to get oriented, learn your way around, and get answers to the questions that have always puzzled you. But it's not just for newbies! Even people who have been using Macs for years are sure to learn interesting things.

The book covers topics such as:

• Your Mac's hardware: Learn about all the components of your Mac that you'll interact with, as well as how to use external devices.
• What's on the screen: Discover what all the elements on screen are called, what they do, and how to use them. You'll meet the menu bar, Dock, Control Center, and even the Trash.
• The Finder: What is the Finder, and what can it do? Explore windows, your desktop, Quick Look, the Go menu, and other elements of your Mac's file management app.
• What's on disk: Find out where files and folders are located, and how to navigate your Mac without getting lost.
• Your Apple Account and iCloud: Your Mac becomes vastly more powerful when you connect it to Apple's online services.
• Apps: The book describes every single app included with your Mac and explains the basics of working with apps, including where and how to obtain new ones.
• Systemwide features: Get to know features that work everywhere on your Mac, such as Siri, Spotlight, your clipboard, notifications, and screenshots.
• Customization: Find your way around System Settings and set up your Mac to work just the way you like it.
• Safety and privacy: Make sure your Mac's data is safely backed up, and keep your private information away from people who shouldn't see it.
• Switching from Windows: If you're switching from Windows to Mac, you'll learn about the important similarities and differences, and how to accomplish common tasks "the Mac way."
