Customer Reviews

A 2007 book. 14 years old.

May be okay for a 14 year old computer, but not relevant for a 2020 IMAC with Big Sur. No connectioin.

A big help and funny

I bought this when I bought my new iMac. It really helped me get up and running. Although I have to say the iMac is pretty easy to operate right out of the box, unlike the "other guys". Still there a few things I didn't quit get, like "disk images". The humor was a plus. A good addition to my library.

Switching to Mac? Great Book!

I had used Mac many many years ago. So, being fed up totally with Windows after they switched to Vista, I decided to give Imac a try. WOW. Best computer EVER, but with difference. This book follows all "for Dummies" series with average Joe language and easy to follow tips and tools. A must for all Macs.

iMac for Dummies

Excellent book! New to the Mac world; it helps to get you going!

Good Pick!!!!!

I recently bought an IMAC and knew nothing about it. This book is a excellent book if you are new to Mac. This books literally breaks down everything, it even give you shortcuts to different functions. I recommend this book if you know absolutly nothing about a mac. Glad I purchased this book! Actually I made a lot of For Dummies books purchases and found them to be very helpful. I would recommend any for dummies book if you want to become more knowledgeable about anything.
