Books to learn Mac

Hello friends

I am new user of Mac, after using Windows for many years now finally decided to switch to Mac, but to find all the new features and GUI. Could someone please help me find a good book or a few books which I can learn about Mac OS X.

  • Is there a good book for learning of RoboHelp 7

    Anyone know of a good book for learning of RoboHelp 7? I googled but didn't find anything - and I'm frustrated with the (difficult to navigate, not well indexed) online help.

    Thank you. LLA

    There is not many around at the moment. Rick Stone is putting together a few guides that we are talking about, but they are not yet ready. Until then, maybe this link can help.

  • Books to learn the logic

    Greetings,

    As a beginner of logic, I'm not find logic "Helps" to be very useful.  So, I am looking to buy a book that might be more useful.  I found a few on Amazon, all very expensive, so I would like to be sure I understand.  So I hope I could meet someone on this forum who has read several, or at least one, various books (Rothermich, Nahmani, Merton, Bustelo, Cousins, etc.).  and could you tell me which would best meet my needs.

    Here's what I want to learn:

    1. how to record audio instruments ('true') - voice, guitar, etc.  (In fact, I can do this already.)

    2. how to record several takes and overdubs more easily and more efficiently (once again, real instruments).

    3. how to compile ("comp") elements of various takes one shot more easily and more efficiently.

    4. how to mix in logic, including using the software provided for the compression, EQ, and reverb.

    5. how to manage the GUI - everything seems counterintuitive, user unfriendly and weird - I'm trying to reduce the width of a track or take and it's the contrary or if it changes the width of the other takes or titles I want to change.  And since Apple went to the practice extremely rude to use symbols instead of words for everything, something that defines it as all of the weird symbols.

    That's all.

    I'm not interested to learn how use the MIDI or record virtual instruments, at least not yet.  Want to just record real instruments and mix for demos at this stage.  Books where half of the pages are about saving virtual instruments are a waste of money for me.

    I know that some people prefer video books, but I prefer books.  I find embarrassing internet videos.

    Thanks for the help.

    I like this statement.

    I must say at the outset that I am a little biased to recommend books of logic, because I am one of the authors you mentioned (Edgar Rothermich), but at least I fit your profile, because I have read all the book. If you do the research, you will find that I am using a different approach which is based on explaining and illustrating the logic with a lot of graphics and diagrams instead of just the text only with the occasional screen capture. That's why I called my book series "graphically improved manuals.

    My books are available in PDF (more affordable), iBooks files and printed books. You can use the "Search inside" feature on Amazon to look at my books and you will see immediately what makes them unique compared to other publications. I would also advice to download a workbook of samples of the iBook from Apple Store to check the format of my books iBooks (all my books have versions of free sample book). These Enhanced iBooks are interactive multi touch iBooks (readable on iPhone, iPad, but also on your computer). They have a glossary of 500 + word with all of the terms that you should know in logic, and they all have a hyperlink in the book, so you can just tab on a Word and a small window with the entry of the glossary appears (with graphics). So, no more navigation back, at your own pace of learning.

    You will find all the links on my website http://DingDingMusic.com/GEM

    On the MIDI features. All the books of logic will cover the audio and MIDI functions because that's what makes logic. However, the logic is so deep and rich in features you will find a lot of things you haven't (yet). However, the important part is the Foundation and understanding of the application with GUI and its concept so you can find your way around. I think that my books will be the best to help you accomplish, they understand even a lot of additional information (audio production, OSX) that are needed to better understand some logic and workflow architecture.

    And finally and most importantly, if you buy a book for a software application, you want to book that is based on the current version. There is nothing more boring to learn the features of a book that has changed in the meantime, or other important features that are not even mentioned. With each update Logic adds tons of new features and changes much features and workflows. My logic books are the only ones (not to mention as the User Guide) that are based on Logic Pro X 10.2. All other books are based on older versions. < / BiasedAdvice >

    Hope that helps

  • Re to make a photo book on my Mac

    Hello, I recently finished and had printed a photo book.  For some reason, I am unable to go back and do another because the pictures I used for the first are blocked somehow.  How can I pledge them to reuse them?

    Thank you

    For some reason, I am unable to go back and do another because the pictures I used for the first are blocked somehow.

    How photos are blocked? What happens, when you try to use the photos again?

    You cannot move the photos of the project from one book to the other.  Select the photos in an album or an event to add to another book.

    Hurry to prepare the iPhoto book.  Some users have reported that they have learned by representatives of Apple that it is not possible to order books iPhoto after March 31.  Then, you use the new Photos.app to order books.

  • Problem with security of the ports and disabled learning MAC addresses?

    Hello

    Is there a problem, or incompatibility, if you configure the port-security on "n" ports that belong to X vlan and also disable mac-address-table of learning on this vlan?

    Someone did he do reference, links or PDFs on this problem?

    Thank you very much

    Best regards.

    Hi Javier,

    As I showed above, the combination is valid. I did not all static entries in the security of the ports, but all entries learned through port security will be shown as static on the show see the mac address table. All dynamic learning is disabled.

    I don't know what kind of security problem, that you try to resolve, but the configuration is valid.

  • Book wrapper on Mac

    I have an InDesign book I received in a ZIP file of someone at another company who is working on a Mac. It contains a folder called FONTS with the fonts used in the files of the book. I'm working on a system to Windows 7 running InDesign CS6.

    Some of the files in the FONTS folder are OTF and TTF fonts that I can install on my system. Other files have names such as ShakaZul and ShakaZulBol, and their file sizes are void. Of course, when I try to open INDD files, InDesign tells me there are missing fonts.

    Is there a way to package files InDesign on Mac so all policies met and I can open the files on my Windows system?

    Thank you!

    0 byte files are neither "side-car", they are the range of the data to the file system of two parties Mac used on older versions of Mac OS. For reasons known only to the creators of fonts real fonts given in these fonts are stored in the range of resources which is normally invisible in the Windows systems and cannot be used by windows in any case. For other Mac files that use the format of Windows data/resource forks will read happily fork data.

  • Advice on books for learning CS3 Master Collection

    I tried to learn as much as I can of tutorials and just concepts from around the web.  I understand that I will, but think a book or two could help me as well?  I have several sites that I visit from time to time, I don't need help on that front.  Can someone give me some advice on what I should buy the literature?  I have the CS3 Master collection, and I hope to learn Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere Pro, Dreamweaver and perhaps other programs related to web design.  I heard that the bible series is quite good, but since I'm still considered new I don't really know where to start.  And do not know if this is the place to ask, but as much web design is concerned, I also get a book for coding?

    Sorry if this is a topic that is requested every five seconds, but I looked around, as much as I could and it was literally my last option.  And in case anyone was wondering, I ask in this forum, because whenever I go in one program I usually end up in Photoshop, so I guess that those who know Photoshop, know as some of the other programs, also I don't really see a forum better suited to my question.  Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

    You'd better to buy individual books for each application.

    Some books try to have an overview of several different applications, but they only give the strict amount of information about each of them and are basically useless.

    Books like the Bible of series are extremely large (Photoshop CS3 more than 1,200 pages), but do not assume that more is automatically better.

    I think they do, some of them just to impress people looking for a book of instruction at their local bookstore.

    The Bible and a few other books include a picture CD and give instructions step by step using the provided images.

    But they do not really explain how procedures work and why you would probably using this procedure rather than another.

    They said basically that, now this, something else, etc.

    The series by Peachpit Press Quick Start Guide distributed with the intructions of step by step hand holding.

    He explains how and why to do things and has screenshots on every page to display menus and tools, as well as the de facto procedures using Photoshop.

    Only Quick Start books give complete information and are usually much more affordable, which is useful if you buy several books for different applications.

    Peachpit Press has also another series of books, their series of real world. These are bigger books but without the CD, etc.

    Over the past 20 years, I had a lot of different books, but in my opinion, Peachpit Books are the best of the bunch. Your mileage may vary.

    CS3 is old enough, I guess you're looking at Amazon or other sellers online. You might even be able to get a reduced price used books through Amazon resellers.

    Good luck.

  • Book of fonts (Mac) remove the duplicate and messed up fonts families of fonts in Dreamweaver

    I use Mac OS X 10.6 with Dreamweaver CS4 (I would upgrade but I can't afford it right now)...

    I had a problem with some new fonts (a messed of the police of the workspace in Dreamweaver), but I found the police and removed.

    So, then I crossed font (Mac application to manage fonts) book and was alerted to the fact that there are several duplicates.

    I allowed the font book to "solve" these duplicates.

    A file that I had opened before is now does not appear correctly (now the police is 'off') and DW asks me to authorize the use of an obscure font (because the police he used before that I guess is absent).

    -If it were that easy to move these fonts deleted in the directory I would, but I emptied the Recycle Bin, so this does not work.

    -J' I had my original disc of Creative Suite stolen, so re - install programs is not possible.

    Question:

    Is there anywhere I can download just the fonts required for CS4, so that things will return to normal?

    A trial of CS6 installation would allow me to reacquire these missing fonts?

    What can I do to fix this?

    Thank you once again to try... However, I solved the problem myself.

    As I said, this font Babylon 5 had nothing to do with this problem. I have just referred, because that was the reason why I chose to review ALL my fonts (with the font book) then that caused this problem.

    When you install the Creative Suite (any version), there are included fonts. If some of these fonts are deleted, you can run into problems. Just like how a seemingly random police (Babylon 5) installed, without ANY intention for use with Dreamweaver, caused the workspace spontaneously, change and to use this font! This issue is also unique for me. I found other issues about the same topic, so once I realized the problem, I posted a response and immediately get a response from a member who would be stuck with that issue for more than 4 months (and was thrilled that the removal of the police solved the problem).

    I only mention this, because there are a few quirks really special with the compatibility fonts and products Adobe. Some are known and noticed on the site, but others leave customers frustrated and without support to solve the problem. Its obviously not your fault, but rather something Adobe should address.

    Hello.

    If this book is good or not all depends on your personal data

    taste.

    Some like the books crammed with small examples followed by a

    short and to the point explanation.

    Some goes for books, which takes you through the entire process

    to build a single project.

    Try to search using amazon.com: for example: "Flash Actionscript 3.

    Many books has ratings and reviews...

    I also want to learn AS1 and AS2...
