28 Chapter 2 Getting to Know Your iMac
Learning About Mac OS X
Your iMac comes with Mac OS X “Tiger” and the award-winning iLife suite of
applications. You can learn more about Mac OS X and iLife in the Welcome to Tiger
booklet that came with your iMac. Also open Mac Help (see page 29) 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
