    Abstract: Keep up with all the changes in iOS and iPadOS! Version 1.1, updated September 20, 2021 Your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad gain all new features and interface changes with iOS 15 and iPadOS 15. In Take Control of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 by TidBITS Managing Editor Josh Centers, you'll learn what's new, what's coming soon, and how to get more out of your Apple mobile devices with these operating systems. iOS powers the iPhone and iPod touch, while iPads run the (very similar) iPadOS operating system. Apple updates both iOS and iPadOS each year with new features, interface changes, and other improvements. In 2021 we're up to version 15, which brings both system-wide enhancements and updates to a number of built-in apps. Josh Centers has once again written a guide to all the new stuff. This is not intended as a user manual for iPhones and iPads, nor is it a comprehensive guide to everything in iOS/iPadOS. Instead, it's a shorter, more focused book aimed at helping those who are already used to iOS or iPadOS get up to speed quickly with the changes in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15. Among the many topics covered in the book are: A crash course in iOS/iPadOS basics How to use the vastly improved multitasking controls in iPadOS 15 Using the new Quick Note and Menu Bar features in iPadOS New FaceTime features, including grid view and links to future calls The Shared with You feature in Messages and other supported apps How to make the most of Safari's controversial new design Managing notifications with the new Focus feature Using Driving view, filtering, and other updated Maps features How Live Text works, plus other Camera- and Photos-related changes System-wide improvements to accessibility, privacy, and security Smaller changes to other system components and apps, including iCloud+, Siri, Find My, Spotlight, Reminders, and much more Anyone with a compatible iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch will benefit from Josh's in-depth explanations.

    Abstract: Make a smooth transition to Apple silicon Version 1.0.1, updated April 6, 2021 This book teaches you everything you need to know about hardware and related software changes in Apple’s new M1 Apple silicon Macs to make a transition from an Intel Mac, set up security with new options, create effective backups, and work with new options in recovery mode. Glenn Fleishman takes you through the details of how an M1-based Mac handles startup, battery management, and running iOS, iPadOS, and Windows apps. Covers the 2020 Apple M1 Macs: the Mac mini, MacBook Air, 13-inch MacBook Pro. Apple’s new Macs based on the M1 Apple silicon system-on-a-chip offer remarkable advances in performance, battery life, and memory utilization. With those improvements comes a host of changes in hardware, from how a Mac starts up to making backups of your computer to understanding fundamental aspects of system security. Take Control of Your M-Series Mac teaches you everything you need to know about these topics and much more. You’ll learn not just how to make a bootable clone of your Mac on an external drive, but whether it’s necessary with Big Sur and an M1 Mac. Find out how to make a clean transition from an Intel Mac, while taking advantage of installing and running iOS and iPadOS apps natively within macOS. You’ll also learn the early method of running Windows on an M1 Mac, with notions of what’s to come. If you’ve already bought an M1 Mac and want to get more out of it, or you’re considering a purchase and trying to understand what you need to know, Take Control of Your M-Series Mac will fit your needs. Future plans: This book will be updated as Apple releases updated features for existing M1 Macs and new Macs based on its M-series processors. Here’s what you will learn from this book: Get to know the M1 processor, and what’s so different about it Understand the limits of emulation Control how apps for Intel Macs and universal Intel/M1 apps launch on an M-series Mac Learn the complexities of backing up an M-series Mac Decide whether you need a bootable duplicate of your startup volume Maximize battery life and longevity Work with recoveryOS, a substantially different process with an M-series Mac Walk through a new process of reviving or restoring low-level firmware on a non-responsive Mac Manage system security when you need to work with kernel extensions Install and run iOS and iPadOS apps Learn the current limits of using Windows in macOS on an M1 system

    Abstract: Get to know macOS 12 Monterey! Published August 26, 2021 macOS 12 Monterey builds on the changes in Big Sur, making your Intel or M-series Mac even more powerful and easier to use. This book teaches you how to prepare for a smooth transition to the new version of macOS—and what to do once you've upgraded. Learn your way around, find out about new capabilities (and a few pitfalls), and improve your privacy and security. Following 2020's Big Sur release, which massively overhauled the macOS interface and introduced support for M-series (Apple silicon) Macs, we have macOS 12 Monterey. Although the look and feel are quite similar to Big Sur, Monterey adds refinements, improvements, and interesting new features to books your productivity and your privacy. As was the case for Big Sur, we're not publishing a separate Take Control of Upgrading to Monterey book. Instead, complete upgrading instructions are included here, along with details about what to expect before, during, and after your Monterey installation. Among the many subjects covered in this book are: How to tell whether your Mac is compatible with Monterey Steps you should take before upgrading Upgrading to or from the Monterey public beta How to perform an in-place upgrade—or do a clean install and migrate your old data from a backup Improvements to FaceTime, such as updated audio and video options, scheduled meetings, and (later this year) SharePlay New Messages feature, including Shared with You better handling of photos, and new Memoji options Changes in Safari 15---some great, some controversial The Focus feature that takes Do Not Disturb to a new level Shortcuts, which has made its way from iOS/iPadOS to macOS and added new features What's new in the Maps app, including more city detail, Driving mode, and better transit support Small but interesting changes throughout macOS, such as AirPlay to Mac, iCloud+, improved password support, and Quick Note Improvements to bundled apps, including Books, Finder, Mail, Notes, Photos, and more

    Abstract: Track your stuff, find your friends, and safely share your location Version 1.0.1, updated September 20, 2021 Take Control of Find My and AirTags takes you inside Apple’s Find My ecosystem. Once a way to track the whereabouts of your iPhone by having it ping the internet at regular intervals, now Find My encompasses sharing and following people (with permission), much of Apple’s hardware and some Beats audio gear, and new trackers from Apple and third parties (including the AirTag). This book helps you understand how it all fits together, and how to keep yourself safe by preventing, identifying, and blocking unwanted tracking. Since the introduction of Find My iPhone over a decade ago, Apple has made it possible to Find My Nearly Everything. The current ecosystem encompasses people, Apple devices, and low-power, long-life trackers. Take Control of Find My and AirTags takes you through the many parts of Find My so you can configure and refine how you and your stuff is tracked and shared. The book looks at three different kinds of tracking: People: Learn how to share your location safely, follow others who let you, and send and receive notifications about arrivals and departures. Devices: Apple lets you track the whereabouts of your and Family Sharing group members’ iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, Watch, AirPods (all models), and Beats audio hardware (some models). Get to know the ins and outs of enabling Find My and taking remote actions, from playing a sound to wiping your data from a device. Items: Find out how AirTags make use of the crowdsourced network of other people’s Apple devices to help you find a lost or forgotten purse, backpack, or even car, and about third-party devices licensing the technology from Apple. Also get to know the dangers of Find My stalking and how to identify the risk, deter unwanted tracking from happening, block it if you find it—and report it to law enforcement or get other help. The book also digs into how Family Sharing interacts with personal and device location sharing and finding, and how to help other people find their lost stuff if they don’t have one of their own Apple devices handy. Covered operating systems are iOS and iPadOS versions 13 through 15, and macOS 10.15 Mojave through macOS 12 Monterey—and all the new options introduced in the latest releases of each. Here’s more of what you can find in this book: Find out the difference between device-based Find My tracking and the Find My network. Figure ou...

    Abstract: Keep your Mac safe from intruders, malware, and more! Version 1.0.1, updated February 10, 2021 Secure your Mac against attacks from the internet and physical intrusion with the greatest of ease. Glenn Fleishman guides you through configuring your Mac to protect against phishing, malware, network intrusion, social engineering, and invaders who might tap physically into your computer. Glenn teaches how to secure your data at rest and in motion. Learn about built-in privacy settings, the Secure Enclave, FileVault, sandboxing, VPNs, recovering a missing Mac, and much more. Covers Mojave, Catalina, and Big Sur. The digital world has never seemed more riddled with danger, even as Apple has done a fairly remarkable job across decades at keeping our Macs safe. But the best foot forward with security is staying abreast of past risks and anticipating future ones. Take Control of Securing Your Mac gives you all the insight and directions you need to ensure your Mac is safe from external intrusion and thieves or other ne'er-do-wells with physical access. Security and privacy are tightly related, and Take Control of Securing Your Mac helps you understand how macOS has increasingly compartmentalized and protected your personal data, and how to allow only the apps you want to access specific folders, your contacts, and other information. Here's what the book has to offer: Master a Mac's privacy settings Calculate your level of risk and your tolerance for it Learn why you're asked to give permission for apps to access folders and personal data Moderate access to your audio, video, and other hardware inputs and outputs Get to know the increasing layers of system security through Mojave, Catalina, and Big Sur Prepare against a failure or error that might lock you out of your Mac Share files and folders securely over a network and through cloud services Set a firmware password and control other low-level security options to reduce the risk of someone gaining physical access to your Mac Track and recover a Mac---or erase it remotely---if it's lost or stolen Understand FileVault encryption and protection, and avoid getting locked out Investigate the security of a virtual private network (VPN) to see whether you should use one Learn how the Secure Enclave in Macs with a T2 chip or M-series Apple silicon affords hardware-level protections Dig into ransomware, the biggest potential threat to Mac users, but still a largely theoretical one Decide whether anti-malware s...

    Abstract: Prevent (or solve) problems with your Apple ID! Version 2.0.2, updated April 6, 2021 This book covers everything someone needs to know about configuring an Apple ID account, interactions with iCloud-based services, and troubleshooting account access. Your Apple ID is much more than a simple username. It's a key that unlocks a long list of Apple products and services on any of numerous devices. iCloud uses an Apple ID, as does Apple Music; the App Store; the Music, TV, and Books apps; and more. An Apple ID protects your personal information, including email and iOS/iPadOS backups; helps you find a lost iPhone; and can even unlock your Mac. So it goes without saying that if something goes wrong with your Apple ID, you could be in for a world of hurt. Unfortunately, things go wrong with Apple IDs all the time. Fortunately, Glenn Fleishman, a veteran technology journalist and the author of Macworld's "Mac 911" column, is ready to help with expert advice on how to manage your Apple ID—including how to prevent, solve, or work around most common problems! In this book, Glenn answers questions like: What all is my Apple ID used for? How does my iCloud account relate to my Apple ID? What problems can two-factor authentication (2FA) solve, and how do I use it? Are there other mechanisms I can use to ensure that I can recover an Apple ID in the event of a problem? (Spoiler: yes!) What if I have a device that's too old to work with two-factor authentication? What should I do if I have two or more Apple IDs or iCloud accounts? Will I lose access to all my Apple media purchases if I move to another country? Can I share an Apple ID with someone else? What exactly should I do if I think someone is hacking my Apple ID account? How can I recover a forgotten Apple ID password? What steps should I take if Apple locks me out of my account? If I lose access to an email address associated with my Apple ID, what can I do? What Apple ID changes in iOS 14/iPadOS 14 and macOS 11 Big Sur do I need to know about? How does "Sign in with Apple" work? How can I use Family Sharing to share data and purchases within my family? What types of subscriptions can I manage with my Apple ID, and how? Which payment methods can I associate with my Apple ID, and how do I manage them? And that's just the beginning. Glenn has packed a remarkable amount of concise problem-solving information into this compact, 124-page book. Read it before you encounter Apple ID problems to minimize your r...

    Abstract: Understand and use Bitcoin, Ethereum, NFTs, and more! Published June 29, 2021 In Take Control of Cryptocurrency , Glenn Fleishman casts aside the headlines and hype around cryptocurrency to dig in on the fundamentals. You learn everything you need to know as an individual from the ground up about cryptocurrency, including details about the popular forms of it. You’ll find out what risks it poses for the planet—and for your pocketbook. Discover the role of a cryptocurrency wallet, how to find the best one, and how to use it safely. You will understand the ins and outs of buying and selling cryptocurrency and using it for real-world purchases and sales. Glenn also explains the mystery of NFTs (non-fungible tokens), which are a peculiar but popular use of cryptocurrency that lets you own unique digital artwork. Cryptocurrency is a new way of representing value that’s going through the throes of change and no one knows exactly what form of it will survive and thrive. It hit the mainstream years ago but 2021 seemed to whip people into a frenzy over Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tether, and several other popular forms. Valuations—the price in cash one could get when selling cryptocurrency—soared. But cryptocurrency doesn’t have an inherent price: it’s worth only what people will pay for it. In May 2021, most cryptocurrencies plunged in value by half or more. Meanwhile, a similar furor arose over the introduction of “non-fungible tokens” (NFTs), a way to use an aspect of cryptocurrency to buy and sell unique ownership of digital assets, like born-digital art and clips from NBA basketball games. NFTs similarly suffered a giant drop in value from a peak in May 2021. What is this all about, anyway? Why did cryptocurrency and NFTs tank? Take Control of Cryptocurrency ignores the hype in favor of the reality beneath it. This new form of currency is not going away, even if the price in dollars, euros, and renminbi may fluctuate madly. The future of the economy will incorporate cryptocurrency and you can get to know it in great but understandable detail with the help of author Glenn Fleishman. This book teaches you what cryptocurrency really is and how it relates to government-backed money. Glenn walks through all the parts of a cryptocurrency in clear detail—like a wallet, blockchain, and transactions—and explains how cryptocurrencies produce permanent transfers. He also lets you see two different kinds of risk: the side effects of Bitcoin and others in consuming ma...

    Abstract: Explore everything your Apple Watch can do in watchOS 6! Get to know your Apple Watch and customize it to help you focus on what you care about most. Tech expert Jeff Carlson helps you understand the watch mindset, pick the watch model that's right for you, set up its faces and their complications, get the notifications you want, handle communications, and learn how the controls and core apps work. Since its introduction in 2015, the Apple Watch has become the world's best-selling watch, as well as the most popular wearable digital device.

    Abstract: Master networking, privacy, and security for iOS and iPadOS! Ensuring that your iPhone or iPad's data remains secure and in your control and that your private data remains private isn't a battle—if you know what boxes to check and how to configure iOS and iPadOS to your advantage. While Apple biases security and privacy in your favor, Take Control of iOS & iPadOS Privacy and Security takes you into the intricacies of Apple's choices when it comes to networking, data sharing, and encryption. The book comprehensively covers networking, privacy, and security in iOS 14 and iPadOS 14, answering any question you might have across all of those areas.

    Abstract: In macOS 10.15 Catalina, Apple finally did away with iTunes. In its place are three new apps-Music, TV, and Podcasts-with audiobooks now handled by the Books app and syncing of mobile devices handled by the Finder. Where once iTunes was an all-purpose media hub, now you may use up to five apps to accomplish the same things. The new apps also add more features (while, sadly, removing a few things too). Take Control of macOS Media Apps is your guide to this new, post-iTunes world. Kirk McElhearn, whose earlier books on iTunes 10, 11, and 12 collectively sold nearly 14,000 copies, is back with a new book that shows you how to manage your music, videos, podcasts, and audiobooks in Catalina. Whether you just want to play your media, or you want to go deeper with special features like Genius, Shuffle, Up Next, Apple Music, and iTunes Match, this comprehensive guide has the answers you need. Kirk also looks at various ways of bringing audio and video into Apple's media apps, tagging songs and videos so you can find them more easily later, creating playlists, sharing your library over a home network, and syncing media with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod. The book covers how to: Play Music: Learn the basics of playing audio (and even music videos) in the Music app. You'll also find tips on making quick playlists with Genius and Up Next, learn the best ways to search for the music you want to hear, stream music to other devices in your home, and view lyrics while tunes play. Stream Music: Use Apple Music, a paid service, to listen to any of 50 million tracks. Or listen to live broadcasts from Apple Music Radio (including Beats 1). View Your Music and Other Content: Learn how to use the sidebar, view your music library, and work with contextual menus in the Music app. Store Your Music Library in the Cloud: What are the pros and cons of Apple's Cloud Music Library? How do Music and iTunes Match figure out whether to upload your music when setting up your Cloud Music Library? You'll get answers to these questions and more. Use the iTunes Store: iTunes may be gone, but the iTunes Store is still open for business! Find tips on shopping in the iTunes Store, and get advice on sharing your purchases with family members and among your various Apple devices. Tag Your Music: Tags are bits of information (also known as "metadata") that can describe your media. Learn which tags to bother changing, the best ways to add lyrics and album art, how to rate songs with stars, ...

    Abstract: Apple's Shortcuts app brings extensive automation capabilities to your iPhone or iPad, using a drag-and-drop, fill-in-the-blanks interface much like Automator on the Mac. It lets you perform sequences of tasks, including ones that span various apps, with just a tap or a voice command-or even automatically when certain conditions are met. Shortcuts can save you time and effort, help you accomplish previously complicated tasks, and let you customize your device to better meet your needs. And with iOS 13/iPadOS 13, Shortcuts has become even more powerful than before. But for all its utility, Shortcuts is not self-explanatory, so it can be challenging to figure out its quirks and create effective, time-saving automations. That's where Take Control of Shortcuts comes in. Written by automation expert Rosemary Orchard, this book opens the world of iOS/iPadOS automation to users at every level. With Rosemary's help, you'll learn how to: Navigate the Shortcuts app: Understand the user interface and terminology, then install and run your first shortcut. Run shortcuts: Discover seven different ways to run a shortcut, from tapping an icon to using Home automations and Siri. Build shortcuts: Start with simple, one-step shortcuts and work your way up to complex shortcuts with input, output, variables, conditionals, loops, and more. Debugging advice is also included. Install and sync shortcuts: Download and install shortcuts others have written, sync your shortcuts across your devices, and share them with other people. Then, to both illustrate the main principles you've learned and give you practical tools to get you started, Rosemary walks you step by step through the creation of 15 sample shortcuts, which you can also download and install using links in the book. Examples include: Event templates A daily overview Converting and sharing images Adding a song to a playlist Logging expenses Turning on lights automatically when you get home The book also discusses how Shortcuts can use REST APIs to talk to various web services (with detailed examples), and complementary apps that work in conjunction with Shortcuts. Whether you're completely new to automation or already have significant programming experience, you'll find plenty of useful information in this friendly, practical guide.

    Abstract: Perhaps you already have a Wi-Fi network running in your home and office, but you're dissatisfied with it. Or maybe you're setting up a new house, apartment, business, or school room with Wi-Fi and need to know the basics about what to get and how to configure it. In either case, this book is for you. After over 16 years of writing regularly about Wi-Fi and answering reader questions, author Glenn Fleishman finds that the same issues still crop up: How do I spend the least money to the best effect? What's the best place to put my Wi-Fi gateways? How can I get both high throughput (speed) on my network and solid coverage across everywhere I want to use Wi-Fi? What can I do to secure my network against outsiders near my house and elsewhere on the internet? How do I add networked hard drives and printers? Interference is slowing my network; what can I do to reduce it? What's the best way to extend my network to a garage, yard, or nearby building? This book answers those questions in depth, as well as many others related to Wi-Fi, including how to set up a personal or mobile hotspot with all major operating systems, how to access computers on your network remotely, and why you should use a VPN (virtual private network). If you have any question about overhauling your network, setting up a new one, or just finally figuring out something that's never worked, this book has the answer. Covers macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, and Chrome OS.

    Abstract: Manage your smart home with Apple's HomeKit platform Updated December 11, 2019 "Smart home" devices are everywhere these days-you can buy internet-connected light bulbs, thermostats, door locks, sensors, and dozens of other products. But these devices aren't very smart on their own. Apple's HomeKit platform offers a way to integrate, monitor, control, and automate smart home devices from a wide variety of manufacturers. Using the built-in Home app on a Mac or iOS device (perhaps along with third-party apps), you can connect to your various smart devices, see what they're up to, control them, and even get them to operate on a schedule or respond to changing conditions in your home automatically. Even with HomeKit, however, home automation can be a daunting prospect. That's why TidBITS Managing Editor Josh Centers wrote Take Control of Apple Home Automation . The book walks you carefully through every step of the process, showing you how you can start with a basic system that costs less than $50 and work your way up to as much complexity as you want or need. And you don't have to be a computer geek to simplify and improve your life with HomeKit-compatible products. Even if you don't know a wire nut from a macadamia or which end of a screwdriver to stick in a socket (spoiler: neither!), Josh's thorough advice will enable you to work wonders in your home. In this book, you'll learn: The most common home automation myths (and why you shouldn't worry about them) How to choose HomeKit-compatible devices that meet your needs, and which products you might want to avoid Exactly what HomeKit is , what it does, how it works, and what its limitations are Why you need a hub (in the form of an Apple TV, HomePod, or iPad) and how to set it up Important safety rules for working with electrical products, especially those that require wiring How to install advanced accessories such as a smart switch, thermostat, or door/window sensor-including illustrated, step-by-step instructions What Apple's Home app for Mac and iOS/iPadOS does-and how to configure homes, zones, rooms, accessories, services, and scenes Tips for controlling your smart home using a Mac, iOS/iPadOS device, Apple Watch, HomePod, or Siri Ways to automate your smart home using schedules, sensors, geofencing, and other tools (without making your house seem haunted) The best ways to troubleshoot home automation problems This book was sponsored by Elgato (the original makers of the Eve line of HomeKit...
