This book was released on 2016-09-28 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: So you've decided to take the plunge and get started with Mac. Congratulations! Longtime Mac users know that Mac just works - the interface you'll come to know and love is intuitive, powerful, and designed to make your life easier. Technology can and should be exciting, and your Mac will offer all of that excitement, without the headaches! Whether you're a first time Mac user or a seasoned Mac devotee, OS X Sierra (the current operating system, as of 2016) has something for everyone. Its design overhaul brings it closer to the look and feel of iOS (the operating system for Apple mobile devices like the iPhone and the iPad), but the closer connection between OS X and iOS is much more than mere aesthetics. Continuity features like Handoff make it easier than ever to work on your Mac, your iPhone and your iPad - if you work on a document in Pages, for example, you can pick up your iPhone and keep working right where you left off on your Mac. You can also answer calls and send messages (even SMS messages) on your Mac if you own an iPhone. The Safari browser is significantly improved, Spotlight Search enjoys massive improvements and new features, Notifications are more robust and useful than ever, Mail handles large attachments and allows you to mark up documents without ever leaving an email message, and much, much more. There are hundreds of new features and tweaks in Sierra, and while you may not notice every single one, we promise they add up to a vastly improved experience. Just like the previous OS X upgrade (Yosemite), Sierra is a free download through the Apple App Store, though if you're lucky enough to own a brand new Apple iMac or Macbook, it will ship with Sierra pre-installed. But wait, you say. You've never used a Mac before, and you have no idea what any of this means. No worries! This guide was written just for you. We'll cover everything you need to know about making the switch from Windows to Mac, the basic terminology you'll need to find your way around and customize your machine, some handy tips and tricks that even serious Mac users may not know, and some basic maintenance that will keep your Mac happy and healthy for years to come. Finally, we'll cover a number of free third party apps that will help you get the most out of your Mac and OS X Sierra. Along the way, we'll give you lots of screenshots, tips and practice so that you can feel confident, competent and comfortable with your new Mac. Congratulations on choosing Mac - now let's get started!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apple Maps. Robert Downey Jr. Detroit. These are a few examples of great things that just needed some hard work and a fresh look to really explode. After OS X Mavericks was met with indifference, many worried that future OS X updates would continue to be a steady stream of minor upgrades and tweaks. Continuing the new naming convention of Californian locations, the new iteration will be dubbed ‘Yosemite’ after California’s beloved national park, with no relation to a certain Looney Tunes character. With OS X Yosemite, Apple is showing the world that OS X is not doomed to incremental upgrades, and diligently went through everything “feature by feature, pixel by pixel” to create a totally new and improved makeover for an old friend. If you’ve used any OS X version before, there’s no way you’ll feel totally lost as you forage through Yosemite but your computer will definitely look and feel like a brand new system. There are many new changes both aesthetic and mechanical, and this guide will take you through it all whether you're an OS X spring chicken or a grizzled Mac veteran. If this is your first Apple computer (congrats on making the jump by the way!), we will also detail how to switch everything over from your old PC, and show you the differences between Windows and Mac. If you are ready to learn the ins and outs of OS X Yosemite, grab a fresh cup of coffee (decaf if it’s late) and let’s get to work.
