Welcome to Mac world

What is Mac OS ?

Mac OS is the computer operating system for Apple Computer's Macintosh line of personal computers and workstations. A popular feature of its latest version, Mac OS X , is a desktop interface with some 3-D appearance characteristics. OS X has a modular design intended to make it easier to add new features to the operating system in the future. It runs UNIX applications as well as older Mac applications.
                                macOS is the operating system that powers every Mac. It lets you do things you simply can’t with other computers. That’s because it’s designed specifically for the hardware it runs on — and vice versa. macOS comes with an entire suite of beautifully designed apps. It works hand in hand with iCloud to keep photos, documents, and other stuff up to date on all your devices. It makes your Mac work like magic with your iPhone. And it’s been built from the ground up with privacy and security in mind.

"Mac OS. It’s why there’s nothing else like a Mac."

1. Easy to Use 

When it’s simple to do everything, you can do anything.

On a Mac, everything is designed to work just the way you expect it to — from operating it with simple, intuitive gestures to having your apps automatically update themselves. Whatever you set out to do on a Mac, there’s much less to learn and that much more to accomplish.

2. Continuity 

All your devices.
One seamless experience.

Your Mac works with your other Apple devices in ways no other computer can. If you get a call on your iPhone, you can take it on your Mac. With Continuity Camera, you can use your iPhone to take a picture or scan a document nearby, and it will appear right on your Mac. When you copy text or an image from one device, you can paste it into another with standard copy and paste commands. You can even unlock your Mac with your Apple Watch. No password typing required.

3. Privacy and Security

  We believe your data belongs to you. Period.

Everything you do with your Mac is protected by strong privacy and security features. That’s because we build data security into everything we make, right from the start.

4. Compatibility 

 Need to work with Windows? Mac does that, too.

With macOS, it’s easy to transfer your files, photos, and other data from a Windows PC to your Mac. Work with popular file types such as JPEG, MP3, and PDF, as well as Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents. And, of course, you can run Microsoft Office natively on a Mac. If you want, you can even run Windows on your Mac.²

5. Built-in Apps

  Apps as powerful and elegant as your Mac. Because they’re designed for it.

With every Mac, you get a collection of powerful apps. They’re the same apps you use on your iPhone or iPad, so they’ll feel instantly familiar. They all work with iCloud, so your schedule, contacts, and notes are always up to date everywhere. And because they’re native apps — not web apps in a browser — they take full advantage of the power of your Mac to deliver the fastest possible performance and more robust features.

6. iCloud 

 All your stuff. On your Mac, and everywhere else you want it. Automatically.

Every Apple app uses iCloud — it’s the magic behind the seamless experience you have with all your Apple devices. So you always have your photos, videos, documents, email, notes, contacts, calendars, and more on whatever device you’re using. And any file you store in iCloud Drive can be shared with friends, family, and colleagues just by sending them a link. iCloud Drive also lets you access files from your Mac desktop and Documents folder on any iOS device. It’s all done automatically. Just like that.⁴

 

7. Technology 

 Advanced to the core.

macOS features powerful core technologies engineered for the most important functions of your Mac. High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) introduces a modern standard for video compression, making movie files up to 40 percent smaller and 4K streaming video faster.⁵ Metal 2 powers the graphics behind every pixel, making your gaming experience more visually breathtaking and fun. Create ML gives developers a faster and easier way to build machine learning into apps. And support for virtual reality lets developers create immersive worlds for you to step into.

8. Accessibility 

 We make sure that everyone is able to use a Mac.

macOS comes standard with a wide range of assistive technologies that help people with disabilities experience what the Mac has to offer, providing many features you won’t find in other operating systems. These include Accessibility Keyboard, VoiceOver, FaceTime,⁶ Switch Control, and text to speech, all designed to help anyone get more out of Mac.
