It's never too late to become a Mac expert!
Every year, hundreds of thousands of seniors choose to use Mac products—like the MacBook Air and iMac—to connect with their loved ones, access the web, and make their lives easier. And even if you've never used a Mac before, we're here to show you how you can make the most of it—one easy step at a time!
The newly updated fifth edition of Macs For Seniors For Dummies is filled with large, easy-to-read text, sharp figures and illustrations, and accessible instructions to help you give the Gen-Z or millennial in your life a run for their money. You'll learn how to customize your Mac so it works exactly the way you want it to, connect to the Internet, work with documents and spreadsheets, play music, watch video, and even read the latest news headlines.
This book walks you through how to secure your Mac so your privacy and data is protected and gets you comfortable with the operating system so you won't have to worry about "breaking" something again.
Is a Macintosh the computer for you? I can unequivocally answer “Yes!” Why am I so sure? Because Apple has been producing the best consumer computers and applications for many years now — desktops, laptops, and software that surpass anything else now offered on the market. (Yes, that includes other famous companies you’ve heard of, such as Dell and Microsoft.) Macs are designed to be easy and fun to use, and computing beginners will find that Apple has a knack for writing the best personal-computer software around.
Let me be honest: I’m not easily impressed when it comes to computers. As a cynical old computer programmer and curmudgeon, I’ve used every version of Windows that His Gatesness has produced, including the latest, Windows 11 (in fact, I still have my original five-disk installation set for Windows 1.0). I’ve used many Mac versions all the way back to 1989. I’m very sure that you’ll have the same great experience I’ve had using a Mac. Macs are just easy and fun! (And yes, that’s coming from a fellow senior.)
The current operating system, macOS (now in version 15, called Sequoia), performs like a Ferrari and looks as good, too. And don’t let that term OS throw you. That’s just the name for the engine under the hood. See? Easy.
The book you hold in your hands is written especially for seniors, using the For Dummies design. You’ll find easy-to-follow and lighthearted step-by-step instructions for using the major features of both your computer and Sequoia. What you don’t find in this book is wasted space or a bunch of intimidating computer terms. Everything is explained from the ground up, just in case you’ve never touched a computer, let alone one from Apple.
You'll also find:
• Instructions for handy applications so you can make to-do lists and text documents
• Step-by-step instructions to keep your Mac updated for security and convenience
• Strategies to help you choose a Mac to buy (if you haven't bought one already)
Macs are truly the computers for everyone! Whether you're looking to get started with Macs for the first time or you're a long-time Mac user searching for updates, Macs For Seniors For Dummies is where you'll find the easy-to-follow info you need. Grab a copy today!
