Speaker: David Pogue

In exhilarating fashion, you’ll explore the Tiger features that really matter – Spotlight, Dashboard, iChat AV, networking and more – and learn how to harness them for everyday work. Discover how to make Apple's newest OS sing, dance and walk on its head. Witness a parade of undocumented shortcuts, and discover how to use which features when. Based on David's book 'Mac OS X: The Missing Manual' this session is a life preserver tossed to anyone who wants to find out which of the 200 new Tiger features are worth learning, and which old features wound up in new places.

15.30 Apple's Hidden Software Secrets
Speaker: David Pogue

Mac OS X Tiger isn’t just an operating system; it's a suite of 50 top programs. But who can say he's mastered, or even experimented with, all 50? David Pogue can. In this eye-opening presentation, he’ll take you on a fast, funny tour of the tools you need to tame the tiger: undocumented features of the 50 programs (Image Capture, NetInfo Manager, Dashboard, and more), plus add-on software nobody should be without. At last you’ll know why Tiger requires 2GB of disk space!

10.30 What To Do When Things Go Wrong
Speaker: Andy Ihnatko

When your Mac starts slowing down and acting petulant, all it needs is a little bit of attention and the quick, friendly tool that you took home from the Apple Store will be back with you again. There are utilities that will haul your butt out of whatever soup it's landed in. There's diagnostic data that you can use to troubleshoot problems, and when all else fails, there’s the Nigh-Foolproof 12-Step Procedure for getting any naughty Mac back up and running again.

12.30 Lunch

13.30 iPhoto Masterclass
Speaker: David Pogue

Venture far deeper into iPhoto than you’ve thought it possible to go. Master the underlying folder structure of iPhoto's digital shoebox on your hard drive, making it possible to back up, split, and merge photo libraries; learn how to use plug-ins and add-ons to work around iPhoto's printing, Web-page export, and emailing features; and many more additional tips and tricks. Use iPhoto as a springboard to do more with your photos: edit and crop them for the greatest impact, build musical slideshows on DVD, and much more.

15.00 Mid Afternoon Break

15.30 Make Your Mac Work Harder
Speaker: Andy Ihnatko

"Do it yourself" is for chumps. Tiger offers you two strong-backed serfs in the form of Automator and AppleScript, standing by to reduce the most tedious and complicated sets of tasks to a one-click process. In one and a half hours, you'll be a grandmaster in both, transforming your productivity and saving you from a future of pointless labours.
