OS X Yosemite, Apple's newest Mac operating system, introduces a flatter, more modern iOS 7-style look that emphasizes translucency, streamlined toolbars, and smarter controls.
Along with a new look, OS X Yosemite includes several feature improvements, like a "Today" view in Notification Center that offers integration with third-party apps and an improved Spotlight search that pulls in data from new sources.
Apple has also added improvements to several core apps, bringing a new look to Safari and new features to the Mail app, like Mail Drop, for attachments up to 5GB and Markup, which lets users make annotations to images and documents from within the Mail app.
Yosemite's most notable feature set is "Continuity," which allows the new OS to integrate deeply with iOS 8. With Handoff, users can start a task on one device and complete it on another with a seamless transition, and another Continuity feature, SMS relay, will let users answer phone calls on their Macs.
Yosemite is available as a free download to all Mac users beginning on October 16. For more information on the new operating system, make sure to check out our OS X Yosemite Roundup:
The redesign is disgusting. Apple’s design has gone way down hill
+Christopher Yue
Definitely not.
+Christopher Yue is it you or me so stupid? how can you know what a dead
men would do now. i will never understad people like you.
It looks simple and nice!!
Sure, but when do you cross the line between too little and simple. Apples
come way to close to that line in this version in my opinion.
No its not! I’ve downloaded it and I love it!
I’ve just updated my late 2013 13inch MacBook Air and whenever I turn on
the computer, theres like a loading bar below the Apple Logo that takes a
few seconds longer to load. Is anyone having the same problem or is it just
mine.. or is it just how its supposed to be now? It seems to have almost
double my boot up time.
Also, when watching videos on full screen (netflix, youtube, everything
else), the mouse seems a little iffy as it would completely disappear and
it will only reappear when u click the mouse which usually pause the vids,
its kind of annoying. Also when clicking on things it doesn’t really
highlight it or show any indication that I’ve clicked it, this only seem to
occur on web browser.
Not sure if what I’m experiencing is just bugs or not but I’ve experienced
a LOT of strange bugs with the cursor.
If anyone has these same problems please let me know.
Every time I start my computer I get a gray screen loading bar. When its
alseep I usually don’t get the gray screen. Also the login screen doesn’t
always sync with my background.
+Assa Laos It’s the NSA injecting it’s backdoors and keylogging software
into your computer.
Hey im on a macbook air 13″ 4gb ram the usual i have open this page with
the video playing and im doing a restart and timed it, i too get a loading
bar. My time was 17seconds exactly its 3 seconds faster for me than it used
to be.
+Soulaiman Zoubir buy a new mac lol
Download mckeeper 🙂
I wish I stayed with Mavericks.
Thanks! I’m going to stay with Maverick.
Yeah, I’m still with Maverick. Even on my laptop. Too many bad reviews for
Yosemite.
+Daniel Amspaugh Good Choice I Installed Yosemite And When I Tried To Run
Some Programs They Crashed And They Were The Latest Version ANd When Using
Google Chrome The Webpage Will Flash As Hell When You Move The Mouse Or
Watch A Video

im asking a legitimate question
+ethan madden lol
+Kevin P Laugh out Loud “LOL”
+ethan madden no ethan. just backup your computer first and then install it
I think you need to know the MS Dos computing wise is much more advanced
than Mac OSX.
Even that it was only 16bit the way it handled floating point is light
years ahead of Mac OSX. +tommi Apopisso knows it is much more reliable too.
Have you ever heard of MS Dos crashing?
+Stewart Craig my main computer that runs on DOS, it loads faster than any
latest system even if they have SSD and never have to worry about
applications crushing, what is better than seen a FDD
I’m personally fine with the UI. The 3D dock was cool though. ^_^
Ya
Yup. Sticking with Mavericks.
+December Darnell Have you updated to Yosemite?
Nope
+December Darnell Good
+December Darnell I am getting a macbook for Christmas and it looks like I
am getting this shitty OS 🙁
+JasonTube I wouldn’t say it’s shitty, just different. Your decision on
which OS X you like
Should i keep Mavericks or upgrade to this????
+Jonny Brooks Keep!
Can someone honestly say if it’s worth upgrading from OS X 10.9.5
+HigyLive Yes, Mine is worth upgrading from 10.68
Thanks
Do you get Keynote for free
yuck, the old osx look was way better, even the dock was all 3d and cool
looking. I beleive it had animations when you would minimize and stuff too
right??
YEAH .
The icons,look like dots
Crap design
Long Live Mavericks OSX
+Griimnak I prefer mountain lion its my favorate
Why does this cost money but iOS doesn’t?
I thought this was free.
+austin4x austin4x sorry, I don’t have a Mac. It says it’s free in the
description. Maybe it’s not anymore
+austin4x austin4x its free for me
Honestly I believe that all this Apple hate or Windows hate is just a big
game and is pointless. Both OSs are great. I even own both Windows and Mac,
but I personally lean a bit more towards Windows, but thats an opinion.
It’s a choice. And that’s why there is Mac, Windows, Linux, etc. So we all
have a choice. A choice that suffices out different uses.
Why design a OS for your computer the same as the OS for your phone/ipad?
The same is said about Windows. It makes NO FUCKING SENSE! I like the OS
for the phone, but it’s designed so that the phone/pad will work fluently,
because of the size of the device. Why would I want my desktop to work as
my phone, it makes the desktop less powerful and user-friendly because you
are now limiting the desktop’s size and ease of use. Also, I hate how you
HAVE to use Cloud now no matter what to share your things with your
computer. BULLSHIT!!!
I have a 2012 MacBook Pro ( 13″ ) and until I went with Yosemite I loved it
now my computer is miserable and slow and always a hassle. HATE IT!!!
is this the latest OS for macbooks? or is there a newer version?
El Capitan is the newest. It came out after Yosemite
I don’t personally have any problems with this UI. I don’t like everything
about it, but I guess it’s okay.
