Errata

The Mission Control feature is described on page 157.

In the light of the truly magnificent work that has gone into producing this manual it is with some embarrassment and timidity that I suggest that the first sentence of this caption should read ?Knowing what you?re doing on the Mac often requires knowing what things are called?.

From a big and grateful "missing manual" fan.

In Figure I-2:

"Knowing what you're doing on the Mac requires knowing that

*The word "that" should be replaced by the word "what"

So it should read : " Knowing what you're doing on the Mac requires knowing what things are called."

In the section titled "The Mavericks Difference" the title in the margin reads "The Mountain Lion Difference." Must be a leftover from the previous edition.

The Mission Control feature is described on page 157-165.

The sentence within the parentheses at the end of the second paragraph:
(You can see this checkbox in Figure 4-0.)

Should read:
(You can see this checkbox in Figure 4-9.)

Figure 4-0 should be Figure 4-9
