OS X Yosemite (version 10.10) is the eleventh major release of macOS, Apple Inc.'s desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers. OS X Yosemite was announced and released to developers on June 2, 2014, at WWDC 2014 and was released to the public on October 16, 2014. The operating system is named after Yosemite National Park, continuing the theme of naming releases after places in California.
Features[edit | edit source]
OS X Yosemite introduced a major overhaul of the user interface, with a focus on flat design and translucency. The design changes were intended to create a more modern and cohesive look across the operating system and its applications.
User Interface[edit | edit source]
The user interface of OS X Yosemite features a flatter and more minimalistic design compared to its predecessor, OS X Mavericks. The use of translucency in various elements, such as windows and menus, provides a sense of depth and context. The system font was changed to Helvetica Neue.
Continuity[edit | edit source]
One of the key features introduced in OS X Yosemite is Continuity, which allows seamless integration between Mac and iOS devices. This includes features such as Handoff, which lets users start a task on one device and continue it on another, and AirDrop, which allows for easy file sharing between Mac and iOS devices.
Notification Center[edit | edit source]
The Notification Center in OS X Yosemite was redesigned to include a new "Today" view, which provides an overview of the day's events, reminders, and other widgets. Users can customize the Today view with additional widgets from the Mac App Store.
Spotlight[edit | edit source]
The Spotlight search feature was enhanced with a new interface and additional capabilities. It can now provide search results from various sources, including Wikipedia, news, maps, and more.
iCloud Drive[edit | edit source]
iCloud Drive was introduced as part of OS X Yosemite, allowing users to store and access files across all their Apple devices. It integrates with the Finder, making it easy to organize and manage files stored in iCloud.
Safari[edit | edit source]
The Safari web browser received several updates, including a new streamlined design, improved performance, and enhanced privacy features. The new "Favorites" view and a redesigned toolbar were also introduced.
