Part V. The Care and Feeding of Your Snow Leopard

The Care and Feeding of Your Snow Leopard

In this part . . .

Here I get into the nitty-gritty underbelly of handling trouble in Mac OS X. In this part, I cover topics like protecting your valuable data by backing it up, and I discuss everything you need to know about Macintosh security (which, thankfully, isn't much). Next you look at some utilities that might or might not be useful but that you should know about anyway. Finally, you find out what to do when things go wonky (which also, thankfully, doesn't happen very much) and experience a quick run-through of Dr. Mac's (okay, Dr. Bob's) top troubleshooting tips for those infrequent times when a good Snow Leopard goes bad.

This material is a little geekier than the first four parts, but it could very well be the most important information in the book. Don't miss out!
