Teach Yourself VISUALLY OS X El Capitan is designed to give you an easy entry into Apple's latest Mac operating system, OS X El Capitan. If you’re new to Macs, the book takes you through a few basics to help you get started on the right foot and then shows you what you can do with OS X El Capitan. This includes a tour of the OS X desktop, how to start applications, and how to work with files. You also learn how to use Yosemite to surf the web, exchange email, make FaceTime video calls, track contacts and events, work with music, photos, and videos, and how to customize, maintain, and troubleshoot OS X.

If you’ve upgraded to El Capitan from an earlier version of OS X, the book also tells you all about the new features, including splitting the screen, pinning and muting web page tabs, and using the updated Notes app, as well as a new chapter that covers online privacy.

All this is packaged in the familiar style of the popular Teach Yourself VISUALLY series: straightforward, step-by-step instructions with each step illustrated by a full-color screen shot, as well useful notes and tips that help you get the most out of El Capitan.
