This review is from: Mac OS X Help Line, Tiger Edition (Paperback)
Help Line Tiger edition is formatted very nicely with graphics, screenshots, sidebar sections called Take note and Technically speaking. Take note explains the application being discussed and it's uses and the Technically speaking sections that get into what the application, hardware or service is doing that you don't see.There is a lot of "how do I do this" types of information. I have been a computer technician for many years and have used a lot of technical books and while I have only had this one a short time it is the first book that I go to as was Help Line X Panther. This is a real go to book for troubleshooting hardware, software, system networking and user profile issues. This book will help you diagnose a problem, tell you how to fix it and where to get the tool to fix it if need be. It will walk you through creating bootable hard drives and DVD's, configuring firewalls, installing 3rd party applications, configuring permissions. System preferences and... Read more

A must for Mac users, By
This review is from: Mac OS X Help Line, Tiger Edition (Paperback)
Once again, Ted Landau has come to the rescue for Mac users- this time with input by Dan Frakes. Both are well known in Mac circles as true experts. Ted created the MacFixit website, which deserves daily visits, and Dan's columns for Macworld are educational and enjoyable.Each edition of the book has out done its predecessor, and the Tiger edition is no exception. Tiger is an elegant OS, but nothing is perfect, and there are times When great advice is vital for data protection and ones sanity. "Help Line" is the answer, and its advice is easily understood, and solves your issue without long phone calls to tech support. The chapters also have "Technically Speaking" sections that will delight the geek in you if you want to "go under the hood" of the topic. Every Mac owner should have a copy of this book- it is a must! I can't think of any book that comes close to this book. It truly is in a league of its own.

Paid For Itself In One Sitdown, By Jim Allen "Jim Allen" (NW Ohio) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mac OS X Help Line, Tiger Edition (Paperback)
I was a late bloomer when it came to OS X. I don't like change for change's sake, but recently work forced my upgrade from OS 9. Well, I did it, but I didn't have to like it! It wasn't long before I started getting mauled by the Tiger. This time, however, I had no lifelines... either my own long experience or a "Sad Macs" book... of which I dog eared a couple copies over the years. When Landau recently published his Mac OS X Help Line- Tiger Edition debuted, I was pretty sure it was time to start dog earing another of his books. Well, just today in fact, I wrote "Paid In Full" on the jacket of that book! It helped me through a permissions problem that had me about to rack a round into a shotgun and put my computer to sleep the hard way. Whew, the book was lots cheaper than a G4! Landau saved the day again!
