OS X 10.10.4 Yosemite final version for Mac is now available to download. Here’s what is new and the complete changelog of the update.
With the second beta of OS X El Capitan now in the hands of developers, references to upcoming Apple hardware and features are beginning to surface. The beta software contains code pointing towards a 4K 21.5-inch iMac, including planned future GPU choices, and a mysterious Bluetooth remote control.
Apart from iOS 9 beta 2 download for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch, Apple has also released OS X 10.11 El Capitan beta 2 for Mac, and watchOS 2 beta 2 for the Apple Watch. Both new builds are available to download right now for developers enrolled in the Apple Developer Program.
Here’s how to check your MacBook battery charge cycle count and see if it needs a replacement or not.
After discovering a number of faulty 3TB hard drives used in certain 27-inch iMac computers, Apple has announced a replacement program that will see potentially broken components swapped out for new ones. The Cupertino company, which has published a support page for this very issue, has confirmed that specific 3TB hard drives "may fail under certain conditions," and that the issue affects certain 27-inch iMac models sold between December 2012 and September 2013.
A number of dedicated security researchers from the University of Indiana and the Georgia Institute of Technology have presented proof of a number of zero-day flaws within Apple’s iOS and OS X operating systems. The discovery, which in itself sounds startling and will likely cause concern amongst a lot of Apple device owners, also means that it’s theoretically possible for hackers to essentially crack Apple’s Keychain and remove sensitive information such as passwords directly from the Mac, iPhone or iPad running a malicious software.
Here’s how to get the best OS X 10.11 El Capitan features on Yosemite right now on your Mac. More details can be found here.
Apple showcased many power-user features of OS X 10.11 at the opening WWDC 2015 keynote, but there were many other features they completely skipped mentioning on stage, such as: support for AirPlay video in Safari and opening up of the Force Touch framework to developers.
iOS 9 includes significant improvements to the already-awesome Continuity feature which made its debut with OS X 10.10 and iOS 8. The initial announcement of Continuity signaled yet another progression in the Cupertino company's journey to ensure that using and interacting with multiple Apple products is as easy as it possibly can be. The latest improvements to the feature seem to suggest that it's here to stay and will only get better as iOS and OS X mature further.
If you're one of the many, many people that have experienced some strange, weird and downright odd goings on with Macs, iOS devices and Apple TVs as far as networking goes, then you're going to be pleased to read that Apple should have a fix ready for you. The bad news? You're going to have to wait for iOS 9, OS X 10.10.4 and OS X 10.11 to release first.
