Getting to Know Your Mac mini

Learning About Mac OS X

Your Mac mini comes with Mac OS X Tiger and the iLife suite of applications. Learn
more about Mac OS X and iLife in the Welcome to Tiger booklet that came with your
Mac mini. You can also open Mac Help (see page 27) and browse the information there.
You’ll find plenty of information for new users, experienced users, and people
switching to the Mac. If you experience any problems while using Mac OS X, see the
troubleshooting tips in the back of this book or choose Help > Mac Help from the
menu bar at the top of the screen.

Mac OS X includes:
 Spotlight, a powerful search engine that automatically indexes all of your files
 Dashboard, an interface for putting handy “widgets” or mini-applications at your

fingertips

 Exposé, which tiles and neatly displays all your open applications

For information about software applications you can use with Mac OS X, or to read
