16 Chapter 2 Getting to Know Your iMac G5

Learning About Mac OS X

Your iMac G5 comes with Mac OS X “Tiger,” which includes Spotlight, an improved

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; and Front Row, a new interface to access and

control your music, photos, videos, and movies using the remote that was included

with your iMac G5.

When you’re ready to learn more about Mac OS X and the award-winning iLife

applications that came with your iMac G5, see the Welcome to Tiger booklet that came

with your iMac G5. Also open Mac 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 software applications compatible with Mac OS X, or to read

more about Mac OS X, check the Mac OS X website at www.apple.com/macosx.

Note: If you want to use Mac OS 9 applications with your iMac G5, you must install a

version of Mac OS 9 that supports the Classic environment (see “Installing Mac OS 9”

on page 56). Mac OS 9 can’t be installed as the primary operating system on your

iMac G5 and you can’t start up your iMac G5 in Mac OS 9.
