    Abstract: Discover Preview's hidden features for editing images and manipulating PDFs! Version 1.2, updated 5/22/2020 Apple bundles the Preview app with every Mac, but few people realize what it's capable of. The Mac experts behind TidBITS, Adam Engst and Josh Centers, have plumbed Preview's depths to create a cheerful, colorful book that explains dozens of techniques for importing, viewing, editing, and converting images in Preview. The book also puts you in control of reading, annotating, manipulating, and encrypting PDFs. Updated to cover Catalina! Packed with real-world examples and tips, the book teaches you how to bring files into Preview from a camera, iOS or iPadOS device, or scanner (or just from the Finder). Once you discover Preview's surprisingly capable collection of image-editing tools, you'll soon be editing imported photos by tweaking the exposure, color saturation, sharpness, and more. You can even mark up your images with circles, arrows, and text, plus numerous other shapes. In the second part of the book, Adam and Josh focus on PDFs in Preview, describing how to configure Preview to make reading PDFs as fluid as possible. Since so many paper forms now come in PDF, the book shows you how to fill out PDF-based forms, complete with quick insertion of your digital signature. Those who read digital textbooks or who collaborate on documents will learn to annotate PDFs with highlights, notes, and bookmarks. You'll even learn how to create PDFs from a scanner, the clipboard, and the Print dialog. Finally, Adam and Josh cover the two types of passwords you can use to protect your PDFs, explaining what each is good for. Preview is a veritable Swiss Army Knife. Don't miss out on the many ways it can make your life easier, including these capabilities: Import photos from your iPhone or iPad. Scan paper-based documents and images. Add a scanned page to an existing PDF. Take a screenshot that includes the pointer. Open hundreds of images in a single window. Trash unwanted images with a keystroke. Duplicate, rename, and move images without leaving Preview. Play a manually arranged slideshow of images or PDF pages. Create a PDF-based image catalog. Resize and change the resolution of images. Crop out undesirable content. Mark up screenshots with shapes and text labels. Magnify a portion of an image with a loupe. Add text captions and speech bubbles to photos. Tweak the white point and black point in photos. Make photos sepia or black-and-white. Edit...

    Abstract: Take your videoconferencing skills from zero to Zoom! Version 1.0.2, updated 5/22/2020 Many of us rarely touched a video chat or videoconferencing tool until the pandemic hit. Now, we videoconference daily (or more often) for work meetings, to talk to clients, to stay in touch with friends and family, and for school-we've gone from zero to Zoom! Zoom is the most widely used videoconferencing system in the world due to its generous feature set for free users and the ease of joining video chats by people without prior experience. But you can learn to master some of its subtle, hard-to-find, or confusing features and increase your efficiency and enjoyment as a participant and as a host. Take Control of Zoom takes the pain out of learning how to best use this powerful tool. The book covers a broad range of topics, from which Zoom app to use and how to configure your account and app even before your first meeting, to how to work among Zoom views and chat in a meeting, to creating and managing your own meetings. But what about privacy and security? Zoom's skyrocketing use revealed how insecure some of its software design choices were and how sloppy the company had been as it added options. Since March 2020, Zoom has rolled out hundreds of fixes and dozens of changes, all well documented in the book. Take Control of Zoom doesn't shirk discussing past flaws and Zoom's ongoing plans, and offers insight into which purposes you can safely use the system for and how to re-establish trust in what they offer. Here's what you will find in Take Control of Zoom : Learn how to install and configure Zoom. Decide if a web app meets your needs or it's something to recommend to other meeting participants. Configure your physical setup and your hardware for best results on video. Don't forget that even if you don't see a stream of yourself, you're on camera for other people. Upgrade your audio for better comfort and quality. Understand Zoom's past missteps with security and what it promises now. Master participating in a meeting, including the various methods of "speaking up." Get to know Zoom's many mobile and desktop views for seeing other people and shared screens. Become a host and start meetings with one other person or 1,000. Dig into Zoom's meeting controls to create safe meetings and manage public ones, keeping participants safe and blocking or removing problematic members. Find out how to preserve your privacy when sharing apps, presentations, or other part...

    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: Solve usability puzzles on Macs, iPhones, and iPads! When Apple introduced the Mac in 1984, its novel graphical interface revolutionized the way people thought about computers. Thanks to the Mac's graphical user interface, people quickly realized a computer could be both powerful and easy to use. That legendary ease of use, which carried on through the iPod, iPhone, iPad, and other products, helped Apple become the huge cultural force it is today. And yet, millions of people struggle to make sense of their modern Apple devices. (Indeed, that's the whole reason Take Control Books has existed since 2003!) Users wonder how to accomplish seemingly basic tasks, where to find important menu commands, why the screen is scrolling the "wrong" way, how to type characters that aren't on the keyboard, what gesture they can use to perform common operations on an iPhone or iPad, and why controls they want to use frequently are hidden. What happened to that ease of use, and why have Apple's user interfaces become so...mysterious? Apple Interface Mysteries aims to answer all those questions and many more. Michael E. Cohen, who is a Certified Usability Analyst (really!) as well as the author of numerous books on Apple products, also loves a good mystery. So he has done extensive research into the evolution of Apple's interfaces in an effort to explain how and why things are the way they are today-and more importantly, how you can find hidden controls and capabilities, solve the puzzles of Apple's seemingly opaque interfaces, and become a happier user in the process. After an introduction to basic concepts of usability (such as affordances , or cues that tell you how to use a control), Michael takes you on a fascinating journey through mysteriously complicated Mac interfaces such as menus, keyboards, mice, and the desktop. He then turns his attention to iOS/iPadOS, discussing the unique capabilities and limitations of small-screen, touch-oriented devices, including gestures, hidden buttons, and inscrutable onscreen keyboards. The book concludes with a chapter of "crime fighting tips" that help you unravel new perplexities as you encounter them. Unlike most of our books, the title of this one doesn't begin with the words "Take Control of...." That's because the focus is more on why than on how to , and it makes no attempt to be exhaustive. Rather, it's an explanation of some of the historical and technological factors that led to Apple's current user interfaces. But...

    Abstract: Version 4.1, updated January 25, 2020 Wrangling your web passwords can be easy and secure, thanks to 1Password , the popular password manager from AgileBits. In this book, Joe Kissell brings years of real-world 1Password experience into play to explain not only how to create, edit, and enter web login data easily , but also how to autofill contact and credit card info when shopping online, audit your passwords and generate better ones, handle two-factor authentication (2FA) , and sync and share passwords in various ways-including a hosted 1Password account (individual, family, or team), iCloud or Dropbox. The book focuses on 1Password 7 for Mac and Windows, but it also provides details and directions for the iOS and Android versions of 1Password. It briefly covers 1Password X, a chrome extension that brings 1Password to Chrome OS and Linux. Topics include: Meet 1Password: Set your master password, explore the various 1Password components, and decide on your ideal usage strategy. Master logins: In 1Password, a typical login contains a set of credentials used to sign in to a website. Find out how to create logins, sort them, search them, tag them, and more. You'll also find help with editing logins-for example, changing a password or adding further details. Understand password security: Get guidance on what makes for a good password, and read Joe's important Password Dos and Don'ts. A special topic covers how to perform a security audit in order to improve poor passwords quickly. Go beyond web logins: A primary point of 1Password is to speed up web logins, but 1Password can also store and autofill contact information (for more than one identity, even), along with credit card information. You'll also find advice on storing passwords for password-protected files and encrypted disk images, plus ideas for keeping track of confidential files, software licenses, scans of important cards or documents, and more. Sync your passwords: Discover which 1Password syncing solution is right for you: a hosted 1Password account, Dropbox, iCloud, a manually synced folder, or even device-to-device Wi-Fi sync. Share your passwords: Learn to store passwords in shared vaults within a family or team hosted account. You'll also discover the answers to key questions, including: What are my options for licensing 1Password? What are the differences between vaults in 1Password accounts and standalone vaults? Should I keep using my web browser's autofill feature? What about ...

    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. During that time, Apple has also added five new watch product lines, vastly expanded the device's capabilities, and enabled developers to create entirely new apps and tools. The Apple Watch hides an enormous amount of technical complexity behind that unassuming touch screen, and with help from author Jeff Carlson, you'll unlock every last bit of its power. Take Control of Apple Watch is an expanded and updated reworking of Jeff's earlier book on this topic, Apple Watch: A Take Control Crash Course . This new book covers all Apple Watch models through Series 5, as well as all the new features introduced in watchOS 6. Jeff walks you through getting to know the Apple Watch (including how to pick one out if you haven't already), along with topics that teach you how to navigate among the watch's screens with the physical controls, taps on the screen, and Siri. You'll also find advice on customizing watch faces, taking advantage of the always-on screen in the Apple Watch Series 5, getting the notifications you want, handling text and voice communications, using Apple's core apps, and monitoring your heart rate, hearing, and monthly cycle to improve your overall health.
