Big Book of Apple Hack

Ostensibly, you buy a computer or gadget to get something done. The something might be as
simple as listening to MP3s you’ve ripped from your CD collection or as challenging as creating
a full-length feature film. Apple is happy to sell you products to meet your needs. The trouble is
your needs aren’t exactly the needs of the next guy, and that’s where hacking comes in. With a
little (or sometimes a lot) of effort, you can make your Apple gadgets and software perform in the
manner you wish them to. Apple stuff that does things exactly the way you want makes the Apple
experience that much better.
There are over 100 hacks in this book and a passel of quick tips and tricks. Some are simple
enough—you’ve probably already pulled them off—while others are a bit more challenging. All, to
the right person, can be fun and useful.
So what can you expect? There is a wide range of hacks here. If you’ve got an iPhone, you can learn
how to take your hard drive with you when you go. Tired of the look of OS X? Discover ways to tweak
interface elements. Want to watch your Apple TV on yesterday’s television set? You’ll learn how.
Worried about your Mac’s security? You’re covered.
This book covers Mac OS X, the iLife Suite of programs, the iPod, the iPhone, and Apple TV. Any
particular part of the Apple universe you carry in your pocket is in here.
