Learning About Mac OS X Your computer comes with Tiger, the latest version of Mac OS X, which includes Spotlight, an improved search engine that automatically indexes all of your files; Dashboard, an interface for putting handy “widgets” or mini-applications at your fingertips; Exposé, which tiles and neatly displays all your open applications; and much more. When you’re ready to learn more about Mac OS X and the award-winning iLife applications that came with your computer, see the Welcome to Tiger booklet that came with your iBook. Also open Mac Help and browse the information there. You’ll find plenty of information for new users, experienced users, and users switching to the Mac. If you experience any problems while using Mac OS X, see Chapter 5, “Troubleshooting,” or choose Help > Mac Help from the menu bar at the top of the screen. For information about the software applications compatible with Mac OS X, or to read more about Mac OS X, check the Apple website at www.apple.com/macosx. Note: If you want to use Classic applications with your computer, you have to install a version of Mac OS 9 that supports the Classic environment (see “Installing Mac OS 9” on page 66). Mac OS 9 can’t be installed as the primary operating system on your iBook, and you can’t start up your computer in Mac OS 9. Customizing Your Desktop and Setting Your Preferences You can quickly make your desktop look the way you want using System Preferences. Choose Apple (apple) > System Preferences from the menu bar. 24 Chapter 2 Getting to Know Your iBook G4
Feel free to make changes and experiment with the following: Â Appearance: Select this preference pane to change the colors of buttons, menus, windows, and highlight colors, among other options. Â Dashboard & Exposé: Select this preference pane to set active screen corners and shortcuts for Dashboard, your desktop, your application windows, and all windows. Â Desktop & Screen Saver: Select this preference pane to change the background color or pattern of your desktop, or change it to a photo or other custom image. You can also choose an eye-catching screen effect that will appear on your screen when the computer is left idle. Â Dock: Select this preference pane to change the look, location, and behavior of your Dock (the bar of icons at the bottom of the screen). As you get to know your computer, explore the other system preferences. System Preferences is your command center for most settings on your iBook. For more information, open Mac Help and search for “System Preferences” or for the specific preference pane you want to change. Note: Because Apple frequently releases new versions and updates to its system software, applications, and Internet sites, images shown in this book might be slightly different from what you see on your screen. Getting Answers Using Mac Help Most of the information about using your Macintosh is available right on your computer in Mac Help. To get Mac Help: 1 Click the Finder icon in the Dock (the bar of icons at the bottom of the screen). 2 Choose Help > Mac Help (click the Help menu in the menu bar and choose Mac Help).
