Apple Unveils macOS 'Sierra' With New Continuity Features, Window Tabs, Apple Watch Login, Siri, and More

I hope that someone skilled will make special boot.efi and grab kexts from ElCap to make Sierra working on my fully capable machine (6 gb ram, 120 ssd, MBP Late 2007)

Are there any webpages where I can looking for for this ? Or where were some similar "upgrades" in history to learn about this phenomenon ? Planned obsolence is bad.
 
Might already been discussed in the 10 pages...but will universal copy and paste only work one way? I mean it would be cool to copy something on my Mac and paste it on my iPnone...the demo was only one way.

EDIT: never mind it is in the Sierra page:
"Universal Clipboard
Copy on one device. Paste on another.
Copy images, video, and text from your iPhone. Then paste to your nearby Mac — or vice versa. "

Such update should work on anything that supports the buggy El Capitan.

Yes, the iPhone company should try getting one desktop OSX really stable.
USB audio for example stinks more than a bag of stinky fish left in the sun.
It might work with some of the consumer stuff but many professional users report problems in the forums and I have to unplug/replug in my Yellowtec DAC each time.

Yet they come out with a lot of new shiny crp to please the teenagers. I see nothing in the coverage to get me excited. Boy did I used to be... which is why I am here as a lurker.

Will update to final release of El Capitan when it becomes available.
I'm not upgrading this until at least .5 when everything is stable.

10.11.5 doesn't still feel that polished. Maybe it starts to feel as a .0 or .1 release.
 
Apple should bring to Mac OS:

- True and full resume playback to iTunes application for Mac, as it was available in SoundJam MP from where iTunes was developed 15 years ago!

- Colored labels to items and Finder left pane, as previously available.

- Scroll bars with arrows (both vertical and horizontal), as previously available.

- Useful customizable Finder search engine (or at least search by Name Contains instead of the useless Kind Any current default), much as EasyFind (no Spotlight indexing required) and HoudahSpot work. Much as Sherlock worked on Mac OS 9 before OS X.
 
If you own a iPhone , iPad and Apple Watch the features announced are welcome. Some nice little additios, though the OS X update was minor in my view, nothing ground breaking or worthy of a WWDC announcement, these could have been added as patches.
 
HFS Plus

What's wrong with the file system?

Think of HFS Plus as inadequate. The retrofitting mentioned by Apple, https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&vertical=default&q=from:donjbrady HFS&src=typd and so on.

Optimised storage (not to be confused with APFS)

Please look again at https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/23006968 – the three lines that I quoted.

Discussion focused on APFS

Introducing Apple File System – I'll continue there.
 
- Clones is similar to deduplication

Dedup was not mentioned in the APFS documentation and it is not similar to clones. Dedup is about building a fingerprint database of duplicate blocks and then removing the duplicates in an effort to increase space efficiency.

Ugh macOS sounds terrible. I much prefer the OSX branding (despite being on the 12th 10th edition...)

It was System "number", than Mac OS "number" , then OS X and now that we go Back to macOS they make it look like it is a step forward :p

What is wrong with OS X graphics API/ GPU? You not happy that it is not touch screen? It not like windows 8 that is touch screen?

I'm talking about Apple's completely outdated OpenGL and the mobile-grade-graphics-on-a-desktop Metal.

They dropped quite a bit of hardware this time.

After 3 years of not dropping anything, I'm find with that. There would be too much bloat at this point to retain compatibility.

Some nifty handy features... But waiting an entire year for this? Bit disappointing.

What would you have like to see in addition to this? The Mac is very mature at this point.

That was discussed many times already.

Since it comes with a Mac and you do not pay separately it is FREE.

Of course within Apple's internal calculation it is part of the overall costs.

The way consumers look at FREE is that if they do not have to pay cash it's FREE!

If you have an older Mac and over the years have always upgraded and thus never paid for the upgrade it is FREE.
When we had to pay $ 25 or so, it was not FREE.

If we want to start assigning costs to something we don't pay for or something that is included with a product, without knowing it's real costs, that's hair splitting.

Same as companies giving you FREE phones with a contract, buy one get one FREE offers etc. of course all in there some place. That applies even to FREE parking:)

Marketing and advertising at it's finest.

OK, tanks for reply. :)
 
So you change the name that suggests a total overhaul of everything.

Then you add Siri and iCloud file management (because iCloud proved super-reliable in the past and everybody totally trusts it).

I already have the new desktop wallpaper, so I guess I don't have to upgrade unless they show something that really is revolutionary before September.
 
10.12 is all about Siri which is not supported in my language (Polish). It's the first time I won't even bother with updating on release. I'm not even tempted.

Same goes for 70% of new features announced for iOS. Siri - unsupported. QuickType - unsupported. Apple News - unsupported. Maps - useless, there's little to no data about my location (Warsaw, Poland) - try searching for closest ATM and Maps will suggest you the one 5km from you since it doesn't know location of about 99% ATMs.

I liked when iOS and OS X updates where about quality of life features. There's so much that could have been done.

I hear you, I've got the very same machine. I'm willing to bet it would still be plenty capable to run Sierra and I'm curious to know the technical reasons - if any - why support for it was dropped.
Click to expand...

The technical reason is they technically want you to buy a new computer and give them some more money ;)

Apple wants to see your files .
Noone who does some actual computing will ever use, or has used , iCloud .

Good news Apple will now offer Mac to Mac syncing, offline of course, after decades of 'it just works' .
Oh, wait ....
Click to expand...

You are either a troll or just very ignorant of the real world. Tons of people use iCloud including people who do "actual computing", whatever you think that means. Why would Apple want to "see you files"? It doesn't make any sense. iCloud is a feature of great benefit to most people.

They should have worked on simplifying the OS instead.
dmg files? My bro in law has them all over his desktop because he doesn't know you can trash them.
Downloaded files should open and install with one click, automate the rest.
macOS? Really? That looks better to Cook than MacOS?
Click to expand...

I suppose it would be as simple as you going "you can trash those". Seriously, how much hand-holding do you want?
