From the Introduction
MacOS Mojave is the 14th major version of Apple’s Unix-based operating system. It’s got very little in common with the original Mac operating system, the one that saw Apple through the 1980s and 1990s. Apple dumped that in 2001, when CEO Steve Jobs decided it was time for a change. Apple had spent too many years piling new features onto a software foundation originally poured in 1984. Programmers and customers complained of the ‘spaghetti code’ the Mac OS had become.
So today, underneath macOS’s classy, shining desktop is Unix, the industrial-strength, rock-solid OS that drives many a website and university. It’s not new by any means; in fact, it’s decades old and has been polished by generations of programmers.
Having run out of big cat species (Lion, Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard), Apple has begun naming its Mac operating systems after rock formations in California. There was Yosemite, and then El Capitan, and then Sierra and High Sierra, after the Sierra Nevada mountain range. And now there’s Mojave, named after the California desert.
About This Book
To find your way around macOS Mojave, you’re expected to use Apple’s online help system. And as you’ll quickly discover, these help pages are tersely written, offer very little technical depth, lack useful examples, and provide no tutorials whatsoever. You can’t mark your place, underline, or read them in the bathroom.
The purpose of this book, then, is to serve as the manual that should have accompanied macOS-version 10.14 in particular. Whether you have an antique, hand-cranked 2012 iMac or one of the shiny new 2018 models, like the sleek updated MacBook Air or the compact, screenless Mac mini, this is your user guide.
MacOS Mojave: The Missing Manual is designed to accommodate readers at every technical level. The primary discussions are written for advanced-beginner or intermediate Mac fans. But if you’re a Mac first-timer, miniature sidebar articles called ‘Up to Speed’ provide the introductory information you need to understand the topic at hand.
When you write a book like this, you do a lot of soul-searching about how much to cover. Of course, a thinner book, or at least a thinner-looking one, is always preferable; plenty of readers are intimidated by a book that dwarfs the Tokyo White Pages.
On the other hand, Apple keeps adding features and rarely takes them away. So this book isn’t getting any skinnier.
Even so, some chapters come with free downloadable appendixes-PDF documents, available on this book’s ‘Missing CD’ page that go into further detail on some of the tweakiest features. (You’ll see references to them sprinkled throughout the book.)

Mac Mojave — Apple Computer Operating System Manual
I have always found this series very helpful in work with Apple systems. Apple is quite user-friendly, BUT — face it — all operating systems are immensely complex, having features, abilities and requirements that are just not intuitive. This series provides answers to most things people need to know when things get tough. If it does not solve your problem, it will at least “frame” the issue so you can a more productive discussion at the Apple “Genius Bar”.At 864 pages, this is a reference book to get up to speed on a specific issue or topic, NOT intended as a “cover to cover” read for most mere mortals. Writing style is authoritative but not too “techy” and with occasional humor — a nice balance. Provides what they call “The Missing CD” — a web site you can go for errata, updates, practice files, cited downloadable software, etc. mentioned in the book.
Clearly explained and complete!
This is a very thorough and clearly explained book. As a recently re-converted Windows user (I was a Macintosh user in the 90’s), I highly recommend this book, to get reaquainted with MacOS.However, to those who have already upgraded to the latest MacOS, I was wondering how much in a percentage, is this book still useful after upgrading to MacOS Catalina? I just purchased this book about 3 months ago, and it’s a pity to buy a new book again for Catalina. Tips anyone?
Heavy Material!
So far so good, solved a few problem that tutorials didnât cover or were unclear. Iâm going to just pick a subject, learn it and not forget it until I am proficient at my first Mac. The instructions are very good, easy to follow, easy to find what you need without reading the whole thing.My one problem…it is HUGE! I wish they could have broken it up, like an omnibus edition, or a different binding, spiral notebook type thing. You need a couple of bricks to hold it open while you are working the keyboard for what youâre learning in the book. The reason for a 4 star review. I enjoy the authors way of putting things, heâs entertaining in print and hosting science programs.
The most complete
I love this series, Ive been trying to use an old yosemite version my friend gave me, but lots has changed since then and since I’m new to the iMac and apple world This is the most comprehensive manual there is. I have bought other manuals on my Kindle app but the ability to hold and search for what I need in the paperback is the fastest way for me to get my questions answered.Clear concise and well organized if you’re only buying one this should be it
Pogue assumes to much.
Pogue assumes that the reader knows as much about MacOS as he does. He tells you to go here and do this go there and do that, but it is not clear where here and there is located.I made the jump between Snow Leopard and Mojave, maybe that is part of my problem.
Thorough and *almost* too detailed
Iâve read a lot of these books, so the quality and approach are very familiar. This is a worthy successor in a long line. Iâm tempted to say that it is thorough and detailed to a fault, particularly if youâre already extremely familiar with the MacOS: There are times when I have the urge to âskip ahead to what I donât already know.â but itâs better to have the option to do that, than to wonder what the heck they left out. I donât think they left ANYTHING out.
What you need if you have OSX Mojave
The is an encyclopedia for this operating system. Great detail in a very easy to read format written for a user, not necessarily a software engineer like so many others. I highly recommend this to anyone with Mojave and the other versions for whatever OS you might be running.
Book is probably great-4 stars, but publisher is poor-1 star.
I ordered this book, and received a copy that was missing 32 pages (595-626), and 32 pages (563-594) were duplicated.so I returned it and requested a new copy.The 2nd copy had the identical problem of missing the same 32 pages. So I am requesting another copy, will be my 3rd copy.From the initial browsing of the book, it looks quite good. However, looks like the printer used by the publisher did a poor quality control check.With 2 copies of the same book with the same problem, the entire shipment was probably all bad.I will just keep sending it back to Amazon, and requesting a new replacement copy, until I get a good copy.John
I have used O’Reilly Media’s publications for years and I always find the answers for difficulties I am facing withmy computer. I highly recommend these manuals.
An excellent reference book. Definitely should have been in the box
De boeken uit deze serie bevatten enorm veel informatie. Een ideaal naslagwerk voor de serieuze en de leergierige gebruikers van Apple desktop-computers en laptops. Behandeld worden zowat alle onderwerpen betreffende de werking en de software, maar ook over de aanvullende en meegeleverde Apple software zoals Mail, Safari, iTuner, iMovie, Voorvertoning, Quicktime enz. Bevat ook erg veel dagelijks bruikbare tips.Een aanrader !!
Molto utile, peccato manchi completamente i capitoli su Terminal e Unix
