"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. 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; and 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." --
