  • Shutdown Manager 8
    CHAPTER 8 Shutdown Manager 8 This chapter describes the Shutdown Manager, the part of the Operating System that manages the final stages of shutting down or restarting a Macintosh computer. The Shutdown Manager allows you to install a custom procedure that is executed during the process of shutting down or restarting. You can also use the Shutdown Manager to restart or shut down the computer directly, although this practice is strongly discouraged. ▲ WARNING For reasons described later, you should avoid shutting down or 8 restarting the computer directly except in an emergency (for instance, Shutdown Manager Shutdown when data on the disk might be destroyed). If you need to restart or shut down the system, send a Shutdown or Restart event to the Finder, as described in “Sending a Shutdown or Restart Event” on page 8-7. ▲ Read the information in this chapter if your application or other software component needs to intervene in the standard process of shutting down or restarting the computer. In general, applications do not need to intervene in this process. You are likely to use the Shutdown Manager only if you are designing a device driver or system extension requiring notification that the computer is about to be shut down or restarted. If you want to install a custom shutdown procedure, you should know how to install a code segment into the system heap, as described in the chapter “Memory Manager” in Inside Macintosh: Memory. If you want to shut down or restart the computer and need to familiarize yourself with the process of sending Apple events, see the chapter “Apple Event Manager” in Inside Macintosh: Interapplication Communication.

  • 40 Lessons from 40 Years of Apple Ads
    40 Lessons from 40 Years of Apple Ads Apple was founded on April fools day in 1976. It’s first office was Steve Jobs’ parents’ garage: And it’s first products were humble: Steve Jobs was obsessed with poets, and he and Woz both drew inspiration from one of the best, Bob Dylan. Any great folklorist will tell you that Apple’s origins met the primary criteria for future exaltation. They were humble, poor, and hard working. From those origins, Apple has grown to a global behemoth with over $269 billion dollars in the bank. One of the (many) things that helped Apple get to where it is today is a mastery of advertising. This article presents 40 of the best Apple ads over 40 years and draws 40 lessons from each. It spans 1977’s “Simplicity” all the way to “The Rock x Siri Dominate the Day.” 1977 — “Simplicity” (https://archive.org/details/Apple_II_-_Simplicity_is_the_ultimate_sophistication) “Apple II will change the way you think about computers.” This is an introduction to the Apple II. It displays the features of the device with a clear emphasis on personal computing. The idea of having a personal computer was very new at the time; many people didn’t think there was a use for a computer at home. The lesson: When you’re introducing something new, keep it simple. 1978 — “Bestselling” (http://www.macmothership.com/gallery/MiscAds/a2bestselling1.jpg) “Since we developed Apple II in April 1977, more people have chosen our computer than all other personal computers combined.” Apple opens the brochure with the above quote, providing social proof from buyers.

  • Gestalt Manager 1
    CHAPTER 1 Gestalt Manager 1 This chapter describes how you can use the Gestalt Manager and other system software facilities to investigate the operating environment. You need to know about the 1 operating environment if your application takes advantage of hardware (such as a Gestalt Manager floating-point unit) or software (such as Color QuickDraw) that is not available on all Macintosh computers. You can also use the Gestalt Manager to inform the Operating System that your software is present and to find out about other software registered with the Gestalt Manager. The Gestalt Manager is available in system software versions 6.0.4 and later. The MPW software development system and some other development environments supply code that allows you to use the Gestalt Manager on earlier system software versions; check the documentation provided with your development system. In system software versions earlier than 6.0.4, you can retrieve a limited description of the operating environment with the SysEnvirons function, also described in this chapter. You need to read this chapter if you take advantage of specific hardware or software features that may not be present on all versions of the Macintosh, or if you wish to inform other software that your software is present in the operating environment. This chapter describes how the Gestalt Manager works and then explains how you can ■ determine whether the Gestalt Manager is available ■ call the Gestalt function to investigate the operating environment ■ make information about your own hardware or software available to other applications ■ retrieve a limited description of the operating environment even if the Gestalt Manager is not available About the Gestalt Manager 1 The Macintosh family of computers includes models that use a number of different processors, some accompanied by a floating-point unit (FPU) or memory management unit (MMU).
