16 Chapter 2 Getting to Know Your iMac G5
Learning About Mac OS X
Your computer comes with Mac OS X, which includes an elegant user interface,
advanced graphics capabilities, and added system stability and performance.
When you’re ready to learn more about Mac OS X and the award-winning iLife
applications that came with your computer, see the Welcome to Panther booklet that
came with your iMac G5. Also open Mac OS Help 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.
For information about the compatibility of software applications with Mac OS X, or to
read more about Mac OS X, check the Apple website: www.apple.com/macosx.
Note: If you want to use Mac OS 9 applications with your computer, you have to install
Mac OS 9 (see “Installing Mac OS 9” on page 60). Mac OS 9 can’t be installed as the
primary operating system on your iMac G5 and you can’t start up your computer in
Mac OS 9.
