iLife is a great way to have more fun with your Macintosh computer, to be more creative, and to get more use out of the things you create. Jim Heid's The Macintosh iLife '08
tells and shows you how.
There are reasons why this has been the top selling book on Apple iLife.
Each two-page spread is a self-contained tutorial or set of tips in a combination of clear text and graphics.
Jim Heid knows his stuff and how to bring it to you. He helped develop the iLife '08 video tutorials that are available at AppleÕs Web site. He wrote the iPhoto tutorials.
Introducing iLife gets you excited about the possibilities of the things you can do and how they fit together.
iTunes, iPod: Music and More provides the information you need to build and organize your music collection and more. It provides tips to better use the iTunes store, and advice on converting old tapes and albums among many other things. You will learn how to get better sound, and how to create playlists, save and get more enjoyment from your collection.
iPhoto: Organizing and Sharing Images is about all that and much more. You can learn how to edit and enhance your photos to greatly improve the results, and how to work with iPhoto and Adobe Photoshop if you need ultimate professional results. JIm Heid inputs and stores his photos in iPhoto. He edits some of them in iPhoto and others in Adobe Photoshop. He uses iPhoto for sharing his photos with others.
iMovie: Making Movies contains the information you need to create movies using iMovie '08. Apple lets iMovie '08 download iMovie '06 for free for those who need to use some of the discontinued features in the '08 version. You can download a free iMovie '06 chapter from the book's companion Web site at
iDVD: Putting it All Together provides everything you need to know to create your own DVDs.
GarageBand: Music, Podcasts and More is for people who know or want to learn something about music. If, like me, you do not fall into either of those categories, still follow the instructions to use Magic GarageBand. You will have fun, and create music.
iWeb: Your World on the Web will show you how to put up your own Web site the easy way with more features using a .Mac account, or on a folder on your computer for uploading to another Internet server.
