Discover Apple's Music, TV, Podcasts, and Books apps Version 1.0, published December 13, 2024 Are you bewildered with the apps that replaced iTunes on your Apple devices? Befuddled by Apple Music? Confused about whether or how to sync your media to the cloud? Wondering how to view movies and TV shows on each of your devices? Wishing for a way to organize your podcasts? In this book, Kirk McElhearn explains not only how Apple's media apps work, but also how normal people can make the Music, TV, Podcasts, and Books apps do just what they want.n Back in 2019, Apple replaced iTunes for Mac, iOS, and iPadOS with three apps—Music, TV, and Podcasts—with audiobooks handled by the Books app. Take Control of Apple Media Apps is your guide to this post-iTunes world.

Expanding on his earlier title Take Control of macOS Media Apps, Kirk McElhearn shows you how to manage your music, videos, podcasts, and audiobooks on all your Apple devices.

Discover Apple's Music, TV, Podcasts, and Books apps Version 1.9, updated April 12, 2024 Are you bewildered with the apps that replaced iTunes in macOS? Befuddled by Apple Music? Do you want to customize the Music app sidebar? Wish you could organize your podcasts? Wondering what the difference is between loves and stars? In this book, Kirk McElhearn (author of three previous Take Control titles on iTunes, going back to 2010) explains not only how Apple's media apps work, but also how normal people can make the Music, TV, Podcasts, and Books apps do what they want. Starting in macOS 10.15 Catalina, Apple finally did away with iTunes. In its place are three new apps—Music, TV, and Podcasts—with audiobooks now handled by the Books app and syncing of mobile devices handled by the Finder. Where once iTunes was an all-purpose media hub, now you may use up to five apps to accomplish the same things. The new apps also add more features (while, sadly, removing a few things too).

Prevent (or solve) problems with your Apple Account! Version 1.1, updated February 26, 2025 The center of the Apple world is your Apple Account. This little identifier ties up your access to iCloud; to purchased and streaming music, TV, and movies; and to all your devices. While an Apple Account is essential, Apple has made it difficult to navigate the many features associated with it—and particularly to troubleshoot and resolve problems that crop up. This book answers dozens of questions and guides you through solutions. It also explains how to use security, recovery, and other features tied to your Apple Account. Everything Apple relies on your Apple Account. It’s a key that unlocks a long list of Apple products and services on any of numerous devices. iCloud uses an Apple Account, as does Apple Music; the App Store; the Music, TV, and Books apps; and more. An Apple Account protects your personal information, including email and iOS/iPadOS backups; helps you find a lost iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple Watch; and can even unlock your Mac. So it goes without saying that if something goes wrong with your Apple Account, you could be in for a world of hurt. Unfortunately, things go wrong with Apple Accounts all the time. Fortunately, Glenn Fleishman, a veteran technology journalist and the author of Macworld’s “Mac 911” column, is ready to help with expert advice on how to manage your Apple Account—including how to prevent, solve, or work around most common problems! This book is fully up to date with all the changes released by Apple in 2024 connected to your Apple Account—including the change of name from Apple ID to Apple Account—as well as for iOS 18, iPadOS 18, macOS 15 Sequoia, watchOS 11, tvOS 18, and other Apple products and services. In this book, Glenn answers questions like: • What all is my Apple Account used for? • How does my iCloud account relate to my Apple Account? • What’s two-factor authentication and how do I manage it—and not get locked out of my account? • Should I invest in hardware security keys to up the protection of my Apple Account? • Are there other mechanisms I can use to ensure that I can recover an Apple Account in the event of a problem? (Spoiler: yes!) • What should I do if I have two or more Apple Accounts or iCloud accounts? • Will I lose access to all my Apple media purchases if I move to another country? • Can I share an Apple Account with someone else? • What does an Apple One subscription offer and how does it interact with Family Sharing and iCloud+ storage tiers? • Is there an explanation for how code-based and hardware-based second factors protect my account and how they differ from passkeys? (Yes!) • What exactly should I do if I think someone is hacking my Apple Account? • How can I recover a forgotten Apple Account password? • What happens if I’m assaulted or drugged and someone gains access to my iPhone passcode and resets my Apple Account? (Sadly, a too real, if uncommon, problem.) • What steps should I take if Apple locks me out of my account? • If I lose access to an email address associated with my Apple Account, what can I do? • What Apple Account changes in recent versions of iOS, iPadOS, and macOS do I need to know about? • How can I use Family Sharing to share data and purchases within my family? • What types of subscriptions can I manage with my Apple Account, and how? • Which payment methods can I associate with my Apple Account, and how do I manage them? And that’s just the beginning. Glenn has packed a remarkable amount of concise problem-solving information into this comprehensive book. Read it before you encounter Apple Account problems to minimize your risk, and if you’ve already encountered a problem, read it to find the best path to a rapid solution.

Master the fundamentals of using a Mac! Version 1.0.1, updated May 15, 2025 This book is a thorough, friendly guide to using a Mac, starting from scratch. It covers both the Mac hardware and macOS, as well as Apple’s built-in apps. Whether you're a new to Macs or someone who has been struggling because no one ever taught you the ins and outs, you'll learn how to become a confident Mac user.n Macs don't come with instruction manuals, and most Mac users have never taken a class on all the major concepts, terms, and skills needed to feel comfortable and productive. As a result, it's all too easy to end up cobbling together a sketchy understanding based on trial and error, web searches, and tips from friends and family. This book changes all that. Written by bestselling author Joe Kissell, Mac Basics starts from square one, so even an absolute beginner can follow along. Joe offers a systematic introduction to your Mac's hardware and software, helping you to get oriented, learn your way around, and get answers to the questions that have always puzzled you. But it's not just for newbies! Even people who have been using Macs for years are sure to learn interesting things. The book covers topics such as: • Your Mac's hardware: Learn about all the components of your Mac that you'll interact with, as well as how to use external devices. • What's on the screen: Discover what all the elements on screen are called, what they do, and how to use them. You'll meet the menu bar, Dock, Control Center, and even the Trash. • The Finder: What is the Finder, and what can it do? Explore windows, your desktop, Quick Look, the Go menu, and other elements of your Mac's file management app. • What's on disk: Find out where files and folders are located, and how to navigate your Mac without getting lost. • Your Apple Account and iCloud: Your Mac becomes vastly more powerful when you connect it to Apple's online services. • Apps: The book describes every single app included with your Mac and explains the basics of working with apps, including where and how to obtain new ones. • Systemwide features: Get to know features that work everywhere on your Mac, such as Siri, Spotlight, your clipboard, notifications, and screenshots. • Customization: Find your way around System Settings and set up your Mac to work just the way you like it. • Safety and privacy: Make sure your Mac's data is safely backed up, and keep your private information away from people who shouldn't see it. • Switching from Windows: If you're switching from Windows to Mac, you'll learn about the important similarities and differences, and how to accomplish common tasks "the Mac way." Note: This book is for Macs running macOS 13 Ventura or later, including macOS 14 Sonoma and macOS 15 Sequoia. Most Macs released since 2017 support one or more of these versions, and upgrade instructions are included in the book for those still running macOS 12 Monterey or earlier.

A will takes care of your physical possessions, but what about your digital life—photos, email, files, online accounts, and so on? If you want to pass your electronic ephemera on as part of your digital legacy, turn to tech expert Joe Kissell for advice on dealing with large quantities of data, file formats, media types, the need for a “digital executor,” and more.n We all have digital data that's important to us now, but a lot of it could also be important to our children, friends, and relatives long after we're gone. But you have to take concrete steps now to make sure that data is preserved in the right way and handled according to your wishes.

Whether you just want to ensure that your heirs get copies of your favorite family photos and a few key documents or you want to catalog and preserve tens of thousands of digital items, this book helps you make smart decisions about your digital legacy. Questions answered include: • What strategies can I use for sorting and preserving email and instant messages? • How can I ensure that my email account(s) will be available to those wrapping up my estate? • What if I have digital data that should be destroyed when I die? • What should I do with my huge photo collection (both digital and paper)? • How should I pass on control of my Apple, Google, and Microsoft accounts? • How can I make my passwords and passkeys available to those who will need them—but keep them private for now? • What should I think about when handing down purchased audio and video files? • What should happen to my Facebook account when I’m no longer around? • What choices are available for keeping my digital archive available and backed up? • How long should I expect archival media to last? • Should I write an autobituary? • Are online digital legacy services any good? • How will organizing all this stuff benefit me while I’m alive?
