My name is Bob “Dr. Mac” LeVitus and I've been writing about the Macintosh, macOS, and iDevices for most of my adult life. Over the past three decades, I've written or co-written more than 80 popular computer books, with millions of copies sold worldwide in more than a dozen languages, including iPad For Dummies 10th Edition, iPhone For Dummies 11th Edition, and macOS High Sierra For Dummies, all for Wiley Publishing.

I've been the Apple technology columnist for the Houston Chronicle for over 25 years, penning the popular Dr. Mac column every Tuesday.

A three-year stint as Editor-in-Chief of the irreverent and unpredictable MACazine. Four columns in MacUser magazine: Beating the System, Personal Best, Game Room, and the Help Folder (with Andy Ihnatko, and later, Chris Breen).
Brief stints at Macworld, MacWeek, MacAddict, MacHome, and nearly every other magazine that’s ever used the word “Mac” in its title. Though best known for writing, I've never lost my love for broadcasting and I've hosted a radio show (Inside Mac Radio, CNET Radio, 2001-2002) and a syndicated television series (Mac Today, 1992–1993).

I've presented more than 200 seminars, workshops, conferences, and training sessions in the U.S. And abroad, including Macworld Expo keynote addresses in three countries, live presentations at countless Apple Stores, and five Geek Cruises.
