Das MacBook Air war fr her der Computer, den man nie f r m glich gehalten h tte: d nn genug, um in einen Umschlag zu passen, aber leistungsstark genug, um alle Programme auszuf hren, die du liebst.
Jahrelang verstaubte das Air, w hrend andere Laptops leistungsf higer und fast gleich schwer wurden. Im Jahr 2018 wurde es jedoch wieder relevant, als Apple ein neues Modell auf den Markt brachte, das sowohl leistungsstark als auch mit einem Retina-Display ausgestattet war.
Egal ob du den Laptop gekauft hast oder nur neugierig bist, mehr dar ber zu erfahren, was Mac OS Catalina (10.15) f r dich tun kann, dann wirst du es in diesem Buch nachlesen k nnen.
Wenn du von Windows zu Mac wechselst, begleite ich dich durch die einzelnen Schritte, um die Umstellung so schnell und schmerzfrei wie m glich zu machen.
Dieses Buch richtet sich an Personen, die schnell mit dem Mac arbeiten m chten. Aus diesem Grund ist es nicht so umfangreich wie andere Handb cher.
Wenn du etwas ber eine Funktion wissen willst, dass tief im Inneren verborgen ist und dass du nie benutzen wirst, dann gibt es andere B cher f r dich - ich bin sicher, dass sie gute T rstopper sein werden, wenn du fertig bist. Wenn du nur eine einfache Anleitung willst, die dir sagt, was du wissen musst, damit du deinen Computer bereits benutzen kannst, dann ist dieses Buch genau das Richtige f r dich.
Bist du bereit, das neue MacOS zu nutzen? Dann lasst uns anfangen
Unlock the secrets of the Terminal and discover how this powerful tool solves problems the Finder can't handle. With this handy guide, you'll learn commands for a variety of tasks, such as killing programs that refuse to quit, renaming a large batch of files in seconds, or running jobs in the background while you do other work.
Get started with an easy-to-understand overview of the Terminal and its partner, the shell. Then dive into commands neatly arranged into two dozen categories, including directory operations, file comparisons, and network connections. Each command includes a concise description of its purpose and features.
You know what a MacBook is, but chances are you spent most of your life with a Windows PC.
While there is a learning curve, it's not as hard as you'd think. And there are lots of advantages--especially if you have other Apple products like the iPhone, Apple Watch, iPad, and Apple TV.
This book is meant to help users who are picking up a MacBook for the first time. While it's based on the MacBook Air (2020 model), you will be fine if you own any other current Mac model.
The following topics will be covered inside:
The full transcript of Software Diagnostics Services training with 12 step-by-step exercises. Learn how to analyze app crashes and freezes, navigate through process core memory dump space and diagnose corruption, memory leaks, CPU spikes, blocked threads, deadlocks, wait chains, and much more. We use a unique and innovative pattern-driven analysis approach to speed up the learning curve. The training consists of practical step-by-step exercises using Xcode and LLDB environments, highlighting more than 30 analysis patterns from Software Diagnostics Institute diagnosed in ARM64 process core memory dumps. The training also includes an overview of relevant similarities and differences between Windows and macOS user space memory dump analysis useful for engineers with a Wintel background and the relevant ARM64 disassembly tutorial. The course is thoroughly updated for the latest macOS version and M2 platform. The primary audience for this training is software technical support and escalation engineers who analyze crash reports and memory dumps, quality assurance and software engineers who test and debug macOS software, security and vulnerability researchers, and malware and memory forensics analysts who have never used LLDB for the analysis of computer memory.

The iPhone can be a little overwhelming. It seems to do everything And that's part of the problem--you don't need to do everything. Of course you want to take stunning photos of the grandkids, but you probably can't think of a good reason you'd want to set up a private network or iMAP / POP email account.
You want the basics. How to take photos. How to Use Facetime with grandkids. And how to create custom Animoji's
This book walks you through what you need to know step-by-step--including how navigation works now that the Home button is gone on newer iPhones.
It covers only what most people want to know--so you don't have to comb through hundreds of pages of tech-speak just to find out how to do a common feature.
This book is based on the book The Ridiculously Simple Guide to iPhone 11, iPhone Pro, and iPhone Pro Max but includes an expanded section on accessibility (like how to make text easier to see).

The iPad does everything...but what if you don't want to do everything? Sure, it's great that you can log into a private network or set up an iMAP / POP email account--but what if you are retired and just want to know the basics--like how to do a group Facetime with all the grandkids
This book walks you through what you need to know step-by-step--including how navigation works now that the Home button is gone on some of the iPad Pros. It covers only what you need to know--so you don't have to comb through hundreds of pages of tech-speak just to find out how to do a common feature.

Every September, Apple holds a press conference to get us excited about the newest gadgets that are certain to suck your wallets dry.
The 2018 event, of course, introduced us to the latest Apple Watch and iPhone. This year, however, Apple proved it wasn't quite done yet. In October, it held a conference to remind everyone of something that many had forgotten: The MacBook Air.
It had been 10 years since Steve Jobs wowed us all by pulling a laptop out of an envelope; and it had been 5 years since the last update to the slim computer.
Apple never stopped selling Airs, but most assumed its days were numbered--it's power, graphics, and design just didn't cut it anymore.
Then October came, and Apple proudly reminded everyone that it had not forgotten about the once beloved device. It introduced a new MacBook Air with all the features you'd expect from a modern slim computer: retina display, top of the line processor, memory, and amazing battery life.
MacBook Air was suddenly relevant again.
If you have purchased the notebook or are just curious about seeing more about what Mac OS can do for you, then you'll see it in this book.
This book is intended for people who want to get started quickly with the MacBook Air. For that reason, it's not as comprehensive as other guides. If you want to know about some feature buried deep under the hood that you'll never use, then there are other books for you--I'm sure they'll make good doorstops when you finish. If you just want a simple guide that tells you what you need to know, so you can use your computer already, then this book is for you. If you're new to Mac--perhaps switching over from Windows, then this book will help you figure out all the similarities and differences; because so many people come to Mac from Windows, this book is written in a way to help with that transition.
I purposely have done my best to make this handbook a little more casual and fun then what you expect from most Mac OS manuals. Mac OS is an operating system, and any guide you read should be an equally fun read.
Each chapter starts with bullet points on what will be covered, so if something you already know, you can skip right ahead; if you only need to know how to use new features, the book is also formatted in a way that these stand out.
