Apart from the third beta of iOS 8, Apple has also seeded Developer Preview 3 of OS X Yosemite. Details on how and where to download it from can be found right here.
Mac OS X version of Pangu iOS 7.1 / 7.1.1 jailbreak was released only a while back. We have already done a detailed guide on how to jailbreak on Windows. Here we’ll show you how you can jailbreak your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch on the latest iOS 7.1.1 or iOS 7.1 using Mac version of Pangu.
Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference is just around the corner, and rumor has it that we'll be treated to one or two hardware announcements alongside the formalities of iOS 8 and OS X 10.10. As well as talk of a Retina MacBook Air, 4th-gen Apple TV and, speculatively, perhaps even the iWatch, changes in Apple's iMac shipping times may also suggest that the Cupertino is planning a refresh of its all-in-one desktop computer.
Wallpapers are all well and good, but they're a bit, well, static. We spent years wishing Apple would bring animated wallpapers to iOS in order to give it parity with Android, and now we want them on our Macs, too.
After releasing iTunes 11.2 and OS X Mavericks 10.9.3 update only yesterday, Apple has now released iTunes 11.2.1 update to quickly address /Users folder missing bug that plagued those running the latest OS X 10.9.3 release.
Whether you use a Mac or a PC is obviously a matter of preference, but it's not unheard of for some people to want to use one platform but have the interface look like the other. Skinning Windows to look more like a Mac is something that has been done for years, and with each new version of both OS X and Windows, these tools have had to adapt.
Apple's decision to keep OS X and iOS as close to each other as possible when it comes to the underlying technology that powers them both has been beneficial to the firm in the past. Unfortunately that also means that some security holes found in one are likely to also be evident in the other, meaning both will require patching. Conventional wisdom says that if you have two platforms with the same security problem, you patch them both at the same time, but it seems nobody told the folks at Apple, leaving one security researcher to lay into the company over the matter.
Hitherto, those looking to test out beta releases of Apple's OS X would need to sign up to the Developer Program, which, for $99 per year, looked quite a steep fee for the casual, inquisitive user. Now, however, the Cupertino company has introduced a new OS X Beta Seed Program, whereby users can test out pre-release builds of the Mac software simply by signing up with an Apple ID - no annual fee required.
Last week, it was revealed that the Apple Mac had turned thirty. Apple executive Phil Schiller was clearly buoyed by the news after tweeting about the milestone, and the celebratory mood spilled over across the company as a video was released to mark the third decade of one of the digital industry's most iconic products. Not content with that, Apple has now rolled out a video showing the magic of the Mac when combined with its partner-in-crime - the iPhone 5s. The clip is filmed on the handset, edited on the Mac, and the result - a truly organic, Apple-made movie. Check it out after the jump!
With the 30th anniversary of the Mac, everyone's reminiscing about their history with the computer that arguably put Apple on the map. Thirty years after its announcement at an Apple shareholder meeting on January 24th 1984, the Mac has changed considerably, but Steve Jobs' vision of a computer that is both easy to use and powerful enough to do proper work with lives on. The new Mac Pro may pack more power than most of us would know what to do with, but thanks to Mac OS X, you don't need to be a computer scientist to use it.
