    OS X El Capitan Part 1

    by  on  in Apple, Computer Related, Laptop, Operating System, Update, Upgrade

    As of 1st October Apple has released the update for its Mac Operating system named OS X El Capitan.

    The great thing about the Mac operating systems are they are not only feature rich and secure, but also free as well.

    In this post I am going to talk about the benefits of upgrading your Mac to the latest version of OS X. As always before deciding to upgrade your operating system or any large and significant software package, please don’t forget to back up.

     

    Upgrade Operating System Townsville

    Before you upgrade

    Before you try and upgrade to El Capitan you need to make sure you computer is able to support it. The same requirements for El Capitan as exactly the same as Yosemite. The Mac computers below are able to support El Capitan.

    • iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    • MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    • MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    • Mac Mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    • MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    • Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    • Xserve (Early 2009)

    Also note you will need approximately 10GB of space free on your Macs hard drive to install El Capitan.

     

    Reasons to Install El Capitan

    On the surface for the basic user, before you get down deep into settings and features a couple of clicks away the most notable difference I found when upgrading my Mac Book Air was speed. As soon as I booted my laptop up after installing El Capitan I could instantly notice the difference in speed over Yosemite.

    Spotlight

    Spotlight is now much more powerful and yields a lot more in depth results than ever before.

    It can now find results from everything from the stock market, weather to sports results.

    Mission Control

    Most people I have talked to do not really use the Mission Control feature on their Macs.

    Now with the latest update Apple has significantly improved its Mission Control by adding a split screen feature like the Ipads and Iphones have, where you can work on two screens simultaneously, hiding menus and utilising full screen size.

    Mail Tabs

    Before when using the native OS X Mail app, if you wanted to switch between Mail screens you had to use totally new screens altogether.

    Now, like most Web browsers, Apple has introduced tabs on their Mail client so you can conveniently and easily switch between Mail screens with out having to close or minimise your existing mail message you are reading or composing.
