Take Control new books about macOS Catalina and iOS 13/iPadOS 13

by Joe Kissell, Publisher, Take Control Books   In September, the next releases of Apple’s macOS, iOS, and iPadOS will arrive. We’re pleased to offer you three new titles that provide early access to what you need to know about macOS 10.15 Catalina and iOS 13/iPadOS 13, and to give you the chance to save over $17 (if you buy all three books together).   Plus, once Catlina and iOS 13/iPadOS 13 officially ship, we’ll release free updates to all three books, to cover what changes between now and then (and, in the case of Take Control of Catalina, add several new chapters).

Take Control of Upgrading to Catalina is my thirteenth consecutive guide to upgrading to the latest version of macOS. Learn what you need to know to make the process go smoothly and efficiently, and what has changed from previous versions—including how to deal with new gotchas in Catalina that could complicate your upgrade process. Includes troubleshooting advice in case things go wrong!   Get more info or buy Take Control of Upgrading to Catalina for $9.09 with the 30% MUG discount

Once you’ve successfully installed Catalina, learn all about it with Take Control of Catalina by Scholle McFarland. Like her previous book on Mojave, this book covers the new features and options in macOS 10.15, and also provides a good overview of the entire operating system. Find out about all the changes to your Mac’s apps and system-wide tools, and learn useful tricks that may be not be obvious at first glance.   Get more info or buy Take Control of Catalina for $10.49 with the 30% MUG discount

Take Control of iOS 13 and iPadOS 13, by Josh Centers, also builds on his earlier book about iOS 12, detailing everything that has changed in iOS 13 and the new iPadOS 13. Learn about the new activity views (which replace Share sheets); major changes to Siri and Shortcuts; improvements to accessibility (including voice control); updated Files, Mail, Maps, Messages, Notes, and Reminders apps; new iPad multitasking features; and more.   Get more info or buy Take Control of iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 for $10.49 with the 30% MUG discount
