FYI...
| I’m happy to announce three updated books—a huge new edition of my book Take Control of Backing Up Your Mac, a new edition of Michael E. Cohen’s free Take Control of PDFpen, and a minor (but important) update to Glenn Fleishman’s Take Control of iOS & iPadOS Privacy and Security. |

| First we have Take Control of Backing Up Your Mac, Fourth Edition. This huge overhaul of one of our most popular books ever now covers all the new things you need to know about backups in Big Sur (and Catalina), as well as with M1 Macs. It helps you design a complete backup strategy from start to finish, including hardware, software, and (optionally) cloud services. Whether you use Time Machine or a third-party backup app—and whether or not you choose to make bootable duplicates (which have become more complicated lately), this book walks you through every step of the process. It also shows you exactly how to restore data if misfortune strikes and how to handle a number of unusual backup scenarios. Keep your data safe from malware, disk problems, and user error with this comprehensive, 257-page guide! |

| Next up is Michael E. Cohen’s Take Control of PDFpen, Third Edition. This free book has been updated to cover version 13 of PDFpen and PDFpenPro released earlier this week, as well as PDFpen 6 for iOS and iPadOS. It explains not only the revised interface and new features, but also how to accomplish the most common and important PDF editing tasks you may encounter. Thanks to our friends at Smile for sponsoring this book! |

| Finally, we have Glenn Fleishman’s Take Control of iOS & iPadOS Privacy and Security, now at version 1.1. Glenn updated the book to cover AirTags in detail, as well as adding quite a bit of new information about both Find My (in its various incarnations) and AirPlay. If you have an iOS or iPadOS device, this book will help you use their wireless features more effectively and safely. |
