Enthusiastic friends? The Apple Stores? Great-looking laptops? A "halo effect" from the popularity of iPhones and iPads? The absence of viruses and spyware? The freedom to run Windows on a Mac? In any case, there’s never been a better time to switch to OS X―and there’s never been a better, more authoritative book to help you do it. The important stuff you need to know: Transfer your stuff. Moving files from a PC to a Mac by cable, network, or disk is the easy part. But how do you extract your email, address book, calendar, Web bookmarks, buddy list, desktop pictures, and MP3 files? Now you’ll know. Recreate your software suite. Many of the PC programs you’ve been using are Windows-only. Discover the Mac equivalents and learn how to move data to them. Learn Mavericks. Apple’s latest operating system is faster, smarter, and more iPaddish―but you still have to learn it. Finder tabs. Finder tags. iBooks. Maps. Passwords and credit cards synced between your Mac and your phone or tablet. If Mavericks has it, this book covers it. Get the expert view. Learn from New York Times columnist and Missing Manuals creator David Pogue―author of OS X Mavericks: The Missing Manual , the #1 bestselling Mac book on earth. Review: A REMARKABLE REFERENCE BOOK FROM A KNOWLEDGEABLE SOURCE - I’m never going to read “Switching to the Mac” from cover to cover like I do most books. There’s too much here to absorb. I don’t want my brain as stuffed as my hard drive so I’ll use it as a reference book. Is it a good reference book? Based on what I’ve actually used, I’d say it’s an excellent reference book. This review will probably focus more on David Pogue than on his book because it’s his background and knowledge that will signal the worth of his information. His credentials are impressive. He is the author of 120 titles in the Missing Manual series and seven books for the Dummies series. He reportedly has over 3 million books in print. In addition to his work on computer knowledge he has also written about magic, digital photography, opera, and classical music. As a sort of compendium of his knowledge, he has also authored a manual, “National Geographic’s The Science of Everything.” He obviously has some chops. He’s not a one-trick pony. He was also a technology columnist for “The New York Times” for 13 years. He is a monthly columnist for Scientific American and host of science shows on NOVA. He’s been a correspondent “CBS Sunday Morning since 2002. His latest venture is Yahoo Tech, a consumer-technology Web site where he promises that everything he publishes will be “funny, authoritative, and helpful.” I’ve looked at the site (it’s massive) but haven’t had the time to really study it because of looking through the equally massive “Switching to the Mac.” So I’m going out on a limb here. I’m going to use Pogue’s impressive background to evaluate what I’ve already read in the book and seen in other reviews to 5-star rate the book without equivocation. My Apple tech rep is great but Apple’s user information is too spread out for easy reference. Switching to a Mac? Get this book. Schuyler T Wallace Author of TIN LIZARD TALES Review: Made my transition to the iMac easier - I found this book very helpful in my research on moving from a PC to an iMac. It answered many questions about how some of the Apple installed software works, and prepared me for the switch. After I bought an iMac it has been helpful in answering my questions on how to perform a particular task, or why something happened in a way I do not understand. The one downside is that Pogue does not explain much beyond the dialog box, i.e. why only certain options are available. Overall I like the book. It has made the transition to the iMac much easier. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #11,250,190 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,119 in Macintosh Operating System #5,629 in Computer Operating Systems (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 84 Reviews | ## Images ![Switching to the Mac: The Missing Manual, Mavericks Edition - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/819Z7C+HmuL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A REMARKABLE REFERENCE BOOK FROM A KNOWLEDGEABLE SOURCE *by S***E on May 12, 2014* I’m never going to read “Switching to the Mac” from cover to cover like I do most books.

Very well written, concise and to the point, with logical layout and explanations for most everything you will come across. Great logical flow and reasoning...at many points he lists the windows version or application or setting and then goes on to explain the mac equivalent. I had one of the first mac ever out (Macintosh) but business applications have long been dominated by windows so I had to learn that first. Great book, I plan to look at buying other titles by the same author...well worth having. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/1273911-switching-to-the-mac-the-missing-manual-mavericks-edition](https://www.desertcart.no/products/1273911-switching-to-the-mac-the-missing-manual-mavericks-edition) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-11-03*
