MacOS (Macintosh Operating System listen)) is a family of operating systems produced by Apple for its line of personal computers Macintosh.
The system was one of the first to provide the user with a clear graphical interface instead of a difficult-to-understand command line.
Mac OS was first introduced with the first Macintosh computer in 1984. The term "Mac OS" only began to be used in the mid-90s.
ON THE TOPIC:From 1984 to 2001, Apple released operating systems with System 1 to Mac OS 9. They are considered classic. Released in 2000 Mac OS X, which later received its own separate numbering.
System 1.0 (1984)
The very first version of the system provided the user with access to a user-friendly graphical interface.
Even then, Jobs’ team managed to make clear interaction with elements in windowed mode. In fact, modern operating systems differ from System 1.0 only in graphics and additional features.
System 2.0 – 6.0 (1985-1988)
During this period, the system acquired additional features, settings and standard applications. The developers have added a full-fledged hierarchical file system.
The main efforts were made to adapt the OS to new components and devices. Support for expansion slots appeared, peripheral devices, new processors and more capacious drives.
Only in System 5 was a full-fledged multitasking model implemented, which made it possible to allocate system resources to running background applications.
System 7.0 – 7.6 (1991-1996)
The operating system received its first global upgrade for the first time in seven years of existence.
Users saw a colorful interface. Most system applications and settings were dominated by shades of gray, but some elements became colored.
Multitasking took on a complete form and was practically no different from what we use on modern Macs.
In subsequent updates, the developers eliminated shortcomings, added support for new components and built new applications into the system. These were both Apple's own developments and software purchased from third-party developers.
System 8 (1997)
The system was released in the summer of 1997 after Jobs returned to Apple. The system was initially supposed to continue the old numbering and come out with an index of 7.7.
During difficult times for the company, Jobs decided to do something different. Apple officially discontinued System 7, which at the time was available for installation on third-party computers.
So the company decided to do away with Apple clone computers. Since then, the company's operating system has been officially installed only on computers of its own production.
Apple reported 1.2 million copies of System 8 sold in the first two weeks after release and another 3 million licenses sold over the next 6 months.
System 8 itself didn't have many changes. Interface elements received more colors and shades, design themes and new panel management.
Mac OS 9 (1999)
Mac OS 9 was the last major update to classic versions of Mac OS. The release took place on October 23, 1999.
The developers logically developed the ideas laid down in previous versions, and early builds of Mac OS 9 were called System 8.7.
Mac OS 9 allowed multiple computer users to have their own data and system settings. Data encryption technology has appeared Keychain, working with remote network servers and improved USB support protocol.
The latest update to the classic Mac OS was version 9.2.2, released on December 5, 2001.
Mac OS X 10.0 Cheetah (2001)
The first system of the modern Mac OS line was released in March 2001. Until 2012, the family was called “Mac OS X”, then until 2016, updates received the simplified name “OS X”, and in recent years the company has returned to the classic “macOS”.
Mac OS X was essentially the successor to Mac OS 9, but, unlike classic systems, it was based on Unix. The system has a place for many of the company’s developments NeXT late 80s early 90s.
The company was founded by Jobs, and one of his conditions for returning to Apple was the absorption of the smaller NeXT by the apple giant.
OS X 10.0 Cheetah introduced a redesigned GUI Aqua, new applications have appeared TextEdit, Preview, Mail And QuickTime.
To operate, the system required 128 MB, which was considerable for those times. RAM and 800 MB of storage space.
Many users criticized the system for the lack of support for drivers for peripheral devices from Mac OS 9. OS X 10.0 was more demanding and performed less efficiently on older hardware than previous versions of the system.
Mac OS X 10.1 Puma (2001)
Just six months after Cheetah, Apple is releasing a major update to Mac OS X 10.1 Puma.
The main emphasis was placed on increasing productivity and optimizing the operation of hardware. All new since autumn 2001 Apple computers were sold with Mac OS X 10.1 pre-installed; before that, many models were equipped with the old Mac OS 9.
Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar (2002)
The developers have focused on expanding communication capabilities. Appears in the system iChat And Address book.
Users with disabilities received a block of special options for the first time Universal Access.
Mac OS X 10.3 Panther (2003)
Apple has perfected its own browser Safari, which has become the default web viewer in the new version of Mac OS X.
The emphasis was on comfortable work with multiple applications and workspaces. The system has a mode Expose.
Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger (2005-2007)
The release of a new version of the operating system coincided with the transition of computer production to the platform Intel. Apple decided to increase the cycle of major updates from one year to two.
From April 2005 to November 2007, more than 10 versions of Mac OS X 10.4 were released with minor innovations, compatibility and performance improvements.
Users saw for the first time universal search Spotlight and panel Dashboard with widgets.
Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (2007-2009)
The company spent the next two years updating and supporting Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Even parallel development of iPhone OS (iOS) for first iPhone It didn't hurt to add a number of key features.
appeared handy tool backup Time Machine , service Boot Camp made it possible to run other operating systems on the Mac, and Mac OS itself acquired support for 64-bit programs.
Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard (2009-2011)
The code name, slightly different from the previous one, hinted that the developers did not make major changes to the system, but were only working on polishing the existing features and capabilities.
In Mac OS X 10.6 we saw the App Store for the first time Mac App Store .
Meanwhile, Apple finally abandoned the architecture PowerPC and switched to processors Intel. OS Snow Leopard did not support PowerPC.
Mac OS X 10.7 Lion (2011-2012)
The company cleaned things up a bit with iOS and returned to the annual cycle Mac updates OS. The desktop system inherited several new features from the mobile one.
Mac OS X 10.7 introduced convenient gestures for working with most standard applications and the system. Debuted cloud service iCloud.
Starting with the Lion version, Mac OS was no longer distributed on CD or DVD; software was downloaded only over the network.
Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion (2012-2013)
Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks (2013-2014)
Apple has moved away from the usual OS naming system, which in the Mac OS X line was previously chosen by the name of species from the cat family. Now the operating system was named after famous places in California.
Users received analogues mobile applications Cards And iBooks, improved support for multiple displays, and the ability to use Apple TV as a full screen for your Mac.
The update is now free for the first time. The company promised to continue to distribute the OS free of charge.
Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite (2014-2015)
This version will be remembered primarily for its serious redesign. The rejection of skeuomorphism following iOS contributed to the convergence and closer integration of desktop and mobile OS, which already had general applications and services.
Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan (2015-2016)
The Mac OS X operating system has a long history of development and improvement. This entire path from the first years to the present day can be traced in this section. Be amazed at how great this system used to be, and admire how it gets better and better every year.
Do you like how macOS is evolving? Despite the fact that Apple annually equips its desktop operating system with new features that expand its capabilities more and more, its appearance By and large, it hasn’t changed for many years. iOS, due to its lightness and ease, looks much more modern against its background. Therefore, according to designer Keimer Avdan, Apple has long needed to redraw the design of the desktop operating system, and to ensure that it does not deviate from the general style of other platforms, it must adhere to a common design code. But since adapting the interface for computers would not be very rational, his choice fell on iOS.
Why are beta updates needed? As a rule, thanks to them, developers identify all sorts of flaws and correct them so that the release build of the update is as stable as possible. But these are ordinary developers, to whom the company’s employees clearly do not belong. Otherwise, how can we explain the fact that they alternate weekly versions of the latest OS with test versions, but neither one nor the other is particularly stable, causing various inconveniences to users every now and then?
Encryption is one of the key mechanisms that Apple uses to protect users' personal data. For security purposes, the company encrypts a colossal amount of data - from personal correspondence in the messenger and email. This is done to ensure that no outsider can read confidential information and cannot use it for personal purposes. However, sometimes even the most advanced encryption protocols designed to protect you and me fail, and then Apple has a hard time.
Often free space ends not only on the iPhone or iPad, but also on the Mac computer - especially if you have a 128 GB SSD “under the hood”. Many people immediately run to help third party applications, but firstly, they are most often paid, and sometimes developers are cunning, forcing you to buy a new version of the application every time after a major OS update. And secondly, there are ways to clean your Mac standard means operating system, and they are available even in .
Probably everyone loves to be right and proudly announce publicly: “Well, I told you so.” Isn't it? This immediately, albeit briefly, raises self-esteem and makes us feel at least like competitors to Nostradamus or Vanga. However, sometimes you have to admit your mistakes when trying to give a new forecast on some issue. For journalists, such situations are especially unpleasant, because it means that they either did not immerse themselves deeply enough in the topic, or simply do not understand the issue. But even if the cause of the error turned out to be circumstances beyond their control, most likely no one will remember about it. Fortunately, I'm okay with this. At least this time.
This summer, Apple introduced . She looked very promising at the presentation. Ability to run applications from iPad, use iPad as graphics tablet or second screen. It all looks and sounds very cool. The only problem is that, like all new operating systems, it works, to put it mildly, so-so. I’m not even talking about the fact that some of the functions don’t work at all at the start. Let's figure out together whether it's worth upgrading to it or whether it's better to wait for now.
There has always been a huge gap between iPad and Mac. Even when Apple tried to turn the tablet into a professional tool by releasing a larger version with support for a smart pen, it did not bring them closer to each other in terms of usability or capabilities. Therefore, they realized that it would not be possible to travel endlessly using only an auxiliary connector and a stylus, and came to the conclusion that the iPad needed its own operating system. But adding several new functions to iOS and calling it iPadOS would also not be enough, but unifying the software for Mac and iPad would be just right.
operating room macOS system from Apple was first introduced in the relatively distant year 2000. Improvement of the system has not stopped over all these years. The article presents an illustrated history of the development of the OS.
СHEETAH
03/2001 - OS X 10.0
The history of macOS began with a bear, not with a predatory cat (cheetah - cheetah). In September 2000 Apple company presented a version Kodiak(English bear). For $30, users could purchase the first beta version Mac OS X.
The official version of OS 10.0, codenamed Cheetah, was released 6 months later. It introduced the interface for the first time Aqua and earlier versions of applications TextEdit, Preview, Mail and QuickTime.
The new OS X required at that time whole 128 MB RAM and 800 MB of disk space.
PUMA
09/2001 - OS X 10.1
Just six months later, a version with the code name was released Puma. Instead of focusing on adding new features and characteristics, the focus was on improving productivity systems.

LION
07/2011 - OS X 10.7
