    Chapter 1. Introduction

    MacOS Sierra is the 12th major version of Apples Unix-based operating system. Its got very little in common with the original Mac operating system, the one that saw Apple through the 1980s and 1990s. Apple dumped that in 2001, when CEO Steve Jobs decided it was time for a change. Apple had spent too many years piling new features onto a software foundation originally poured in 1984. Programmers and customers complained of the spaghetti code the Mac OS had become.

    So underneath macOSs classy, translucent desktop is Unix, the industrial-strength, rock-solid OS that drives many a website and university. Its not new by any means; in fact, its decades old and has been polished by generations of programmers.

    Note

    Beginning with Sierra, Apple no longer calls the Mac operating system OS X. Its now macOS. Thats partly because Apple sought consistency with the software in its other productsiOS and watchOSand partly, no doubt, because it was tired of hearing people pronounce it Oh ess sex.

    Whats New in Sierra

    Having run out of big cat species (Lion, Jaguar, Panther, Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard), Apple has begun naming its Mac operating systems after rock formations in California. There was Yosemite, and then El Capitanand now Sierra, after the Sierra Nevada mountain range.

    MacOS Sierra doesnt look any different from El Capitan or Yosemite before it. Instead, its a representation of all the little nips and tucks that Apple engineers wished theyd had time to put into the last version.

    .

    Beyond thatwell, this time around, Apple isnt boasting over 200 new features; over 20 new features would be more like it. Theyre subtle. Theyre grace notes. Theyre motley. Theyll be welcomed by people already using Macs but wont do anything to sway someone who loves Windows:

    • Optimized Storage. Todays Mac laptops dont have a ton of storage; their non-hard disks arent as big as actual hard drives.

      This new feature solves that problem rather neatly. The idea: As your Mac begins to run out of space, your oldest files are quietly and automatically stored online, leaving cloud-badged icons in their places on your Mac, so that you can retrieve them if you need them.

      Other disk-space reclaiming features: A new Optimize button deletes iTunes movies and TV shows that youve already watched. (Youre always free to re-download them at no charge.) Erase Trash Automatically auto-deletes a file after its been rotting in your Trash for 30 days. And Reduce Clutter looks over your downloads, cache files, and mail attachmentsthings you can always re-download from your IMAP mail accountand offers to delete them. This feature can reclaim a lot of space.
