It includes easy-to-use tools for making movies, managing music, capturing digital camera photos, burning music and data CDs, playing DVD movies and even authoring DVDs. The classic technology runs thousands of existing Mac OS 9- compatible applications. This work provides step-by-step intructions for customization, optimization, troubleshooting, shortcuts and third party tools for working more efficiently in Mac OS X, Classic and Terminal (Unix). Topics covered include: fine tuning firewalls and security solutions; backup and disaster recovery; Mac OS X maintenance, customizing OS X functionality and look; remote access, optimizing Classic, partions and multiple, hard drives; Unix shortcuts and tricks; and the Power User's Power Tool Hall of Fame.
