Jeff Carlson and Dan Moren  have co-authored The Connected Apple Family, the perfect book to help you understand and take advantage of “the rich ecosystem of the Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.” Whether you’re new to Apple devices, are adding to your collection, or already have them all, you can get more out of them with a little guidance from these two experienced Apple authors. Jeff and Dan cover classic topics like backups, but also about the latest features provided by Apple, like family sharing of movies, music and apps, password management among the family and much more. The pair discuss their approach to all of this, relate some interesting events during their research, and talk about why this is the right time for this book.
