About the Authors
Edward C. Baig writes the weekly Personal Technology column in USA TODAY and makes regular video appearances on the web and TV. He appears weekly on ABC News’s TechBytes, shown on local ABC TV affiliate stations across the nation. Ed is also the author of Macs For Dummies, 10th Edition, and cowriter (with Bob LeVitus) of iPad For Dummies. Before joining USA TODAY as a columnist and reporter in 1999, Ed spent six years at Business Week, where he wrote and edited stories about consumer tech, personal finance, collectibles, travel, and wine tasting, among other topics. He received the Medill School of Journalism 1999 Financial Writers and Editors Award for contributions to the “Business Week Investor Guide to Online Investing.” That followed a three-year stint at U.S. News & World Report, where Ed was the lead tech writer for the News You Can Use section but also dabbled in numerous other subjects.
Ed began his journalist career at Fortune magazine, gaining the best basic training imaginable during his early years as a fact checker and contributor to the Fortune 500. Through the dozen years he worked at the magazine, Ed covered leisure-time industries, penned features on the lucrative “dating” market and the effect of religion on corporate managers, and was heavily involved in the Most Admired Companies project. Ed also started Fortune’s Products to Watch column, a venue for low- and high-tech items.
Bob LeVitus, often referred to as “Dr. Mac,” has written or cowritten more than 65 popular computer books, including iPad For Dummies, Incredible iPhone Apps For Dummies, OS X Mountain Lion For Dummies, and Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac For Dummies for John Wiley & Sons, Inc.; Stupid Mac Tricks and Dr. Macintosh for Addison-Wesley; and The Little iTunes Book, 3rd Edition, and The Little iDVD Book, 2nd Edition, for Peachpit Press. His books have sold millions of copies worldwide. Bob has also penned the popular “Dr. Mac” column for the Houston Chronicle for the past 15 years and has been published in pretty much every magazine that ever used the word Mac in its title. His achievements have been documented in major media around the world. (Yes, that was Bob juggling a keyboard in USA TODAY a few years back!)
Bob is known for his expertise, trademark humorous style, and ability to translate techie jargon into usable and fun advice for regular folks. Bob is also a prolific public speaker, presenting more than 100 Macworld Expo training sessions in the United States and abroad, keynote addresses in three countries, and Macintosh training seminars in many U.S. cities.
Dedications
I dedicate this book to my beautiful and amazingly supportive wife, Janie, for making me a better person every day I am with her. And to my incredible kids: my adorable little girl, Sydney (if my iPhone is missing, chances are she has it), my little boy, Sammy (who is all smiles from the moment he wakes up in the morning), and my canine “daughter,” Sadie. It is also written in the memory of my “doggie son,” Eddie, Jr. They all got their hands (or paws) on the iPhone at one time or another — and gave me a valuable perspective of the device through youthful eyes. I am madly in love with you all.
— Ed Baig
As always, this book is dedicated to my incredible wife, Lisa, who taught me almost everything I know about almost everything I know (except technology), and has put up with me for almost 30 years with no (major) complaints. And, like every book I write, I dedicate this one to my two children-who-aren’t-kids-anymore, Allison and Jacob, who love their iPhones almost as much as I love them (my kids, not my iPhones).
— Bob LeVitus
Authors’ Acknowledgments
Special thanks to everyone at Apple who helped us turn this book around so quickly: Katie Cotton, Natalie Kerris, Steve Dowling, Greg (Joz) Joswiak, John Richey, Keri Walker, Teresa Brewer, Trudy Muller, Jen Martin, Natalie Harrison, Monica Sarkar, Tom Neumayr, Jennifer Bowcock, Janette Barrios, Christine Monaghan, and everyone else. We couldn’t have done it without you. We apologize if we missed anybody.
Big-time thanks to the gang at Wiley: Bob “You can do it” Woerner, Jodi “I’m calm now, really” Jensen, Susan “just one more thing . . .” Pink, Andy “The Boss” Cummings, and our technical editor, Dennis R. Cohen, who also has no humorous nickname but once again did a rocking job in record time. We also want to thank our invaluable proofreader, Debbye Butler, who did a tremendous job. Editorial assistant Leslie Saxman also deserves our thanks; she handled a bevy of last-minute tasks with panache. Finally, thanks to everyone at Wiley we don’t know by name. If you helped with this project in any way, you have our everlasting thanks.
Bob adds: Special thanks to my super-agent, Carole “Still the Swifty Lazar of Tech Agentry” Jelen. You’ve been my agent for more than 21 years and you’re still the best. Thanks also to my family and friends for putting up with me throughout my hibernation during this book’s gestation. Finally, thanks to Saccone’s for killer New Jersey–style thin-crust pizza, John Mueller’s and Black’s for BBQ beyond compare, Chuy’s for burritos as big as yo’ face, Torchy’s Tacos for the most unusual and tasty tacos ever, Mighty Fine for good, cheap, tasty burgers, and Quad Café Americana, the breakfast of champions (and tech writers).
Ed adds: Thanks to my agent Matt Wagner for again turning me into a For Dummies author. It is a privilege to be working with a first-class guy and true professional. I’d also like to thank Jim Henderson, Geri Tucker, Nancy Blair, and the rest of my USA TODAY friends and colleagues for your enormous support and encouragement. Most of all, thanks to my loving family for understanding my nightly (and weekend) disappearances as we raced to get this project completed on time. They all keep me sane.
And finally, thanks to you, gentle reader, for buying our book.
