Apple launches Mac video tutorials website

By AppleInsider Staff

Published: 12:00 PM EST

A new subsection of Apple's website dubbed "Find out how" offers dozens of new video tutorials aimed at swaying consumers towards its Mac computing platform and then helping them achieve the most from their Mac experience once they bite the bullet.

The sub-site, which appears to have launched sometime earlier this month, is broken down into six sections -- Mac OS X, Photos, Movies, Web, Music, and Documents -- each containing a number of video tutorials ranging from 1:00 to 4:00 minutes long.

The Mac OS X section, for example, includes three 2:30 minute videos directed at potential Windows PC switchers entitled "Anatomy of a Mac," "Move to a Mac," and "Windows on a Mac." Meanwhile, the Photo and Web sections offer instructional videos on the ease of creating content such as web galleries and personal blog sites.

It appears that Apple plans to build an extensive library of Mac video tutorials over time, and even offers an option for viewers to subscribe to the tutorial feeds as Podcasts. From there, the videos are downloaded directly to iTunes where they can then be synced to an iPhone, iPod or Apple TV.

Additionally, the new sub-site offers several dozen text- and image-based tutorials covering topics such as customizing the mighty mouse, emailing web links instantly, sharing an iCal schedule, and creating a buddy icon with photo booth.

Find out How


The new tutorials site joins a similar array of informative Mac videos previously available on Apple.com, such as the iLife '08 guide video tour and the Mac OS X Leopard guided video tour.
