| This week we have four updated titles for you, all of which now cover the latest versions of various Apple operating systems. |
|---|
| First is Kirk McElhearn’s Take Control of macOS Media Apps, which covers the four apps that replaced iTunes in macOS: Music, TV, Podcasts, and Books. This extensive, 251-page book goes into tremendous detail about all those apps, with particular emphasis on Apple Music. Learn how to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your Mac; how to manage and organize your music collection; buy, watch, and share TV shows and movies; listen to podcasts; and enjoy audiobooks and written books alike in the Books app. The latest update covers macOS Ventura. |

| Next, keeping with the media theme, is Take Control of Apple TV, Third Editionby Josh Centers. Whether you have (or are interested in getting) a physical Apple TV box or you use the Apple TV app on a supported smart TV, you’ll find everything you need here to get the most out of your Apple TV experience. Josh covers setup, renting or buying videos, configuring settings, installing and using apps, playing games, viewing photos, giving presentations, and much more. This update covers the changes in tvOS 16, the newest models of Apple TV 4K and Siri Remote, and other recent developments. |

| Josh also wrote Take Control of iOS 16 and iPadOS 16, your complete guide to everything new in the latest versions of iOS and iPadOS—and now thoroughly updated to cover the changes in iOS 16.1 and iPadOS 16.1. In addition to exploring the new stuff, the book provides an extensive introduction to the basics of both operating systems. Learn about the built-in apps; how to use special iPad-only features like Stage Manager, multitasking, and Apple Pencil support; how to use the Camera app for taking photos and videos; and much more. |

| Last is version 1.1 of Take Control of Ventura, written by yours truly. This book walks you through all the changes in macOS 13 Ventura, including such new features as Stage Manager, added Continuity Camera capabilities (like using your iPhone as a webcam), the controversial transition from System Preferences to System Settings, and changes to built-in apps such as Safari and Mail. In addition, the book provides step-by-step upgrade instructions for moving from an earlier version of macOS. The update covers changes between the beta versions of Ventura and the public release. |
