I just bought a new (well, Apple refurbished) M3 iMac with Mac OS Sonoma. Thing is I’m upgrading from a 2011 21.5 iMac that was running High Sierra. Now while a lot of the OS is reasonably familiar there are distinct differences and there are things quite unfamiliar as well as unknown.

I used to have an excellent guide called The Manual That Should Have Come In The Box by David Pogue. It was written in clear language with lots of nice screenshots to illustrate the text. I would like an updated guide to help me become more familiar with current Mac OS. Unfortunately it doesn’t look like David Pogue writes these books anymore so I’m looking for a good alternative.

Any recommendations?
