macOS (formerly Mac OS X) is an operating system for Apple Macintosh computers,^[1] first released to the public on March 24, 2001, developed by Apple. It is the successor to Mac OS 9, hence the X signifying both its Unix roots and the major release version number 10. As mentioned by Apple, Wikipedia, and others, it is said as Mac OS 10. It shares none of the 'Classic' Mac OS design, and is completely rewritten and uses Next frameworks, a hybrid XNU/Mach kernel, and a BSD subsystem dubbed 'Darwin'. While underlying components of OS X are free/open source software, the top layers, such as the Aqua UI, are proprietary; Darwin packages can be downloaded and compiled from the Apple Open Source website to make a bootable OS.

Mac OS X 10.6.6 was an update to Mac OS X 10.6 released on January 6, 2011. It had the following features: The Mac App Store, a new application you'll find in the Dock, includes the following features: Discover Mac apps: Browse featured apps, top charts, and categories, or search for something specific. Buy and install: Easily purchase apps with your iTunes account. Apps install in one step. Global Nav Open Menu Global Nav Close Menu; Apple; Shopping Bag +.

Mac OS X has been built for three different architectures and four platforms during its release cycle to date. The first six releases (10.0.0-10.5.8) were designed for the PowerPC architecture, adding 64-bit PowerPC support as an additional platform for the G5 in 10.3 Panther. Intel (x86) support started with 10.4.4 Tiger, and was built as a universal release for both PowerPC/x86 with 10.5 Leopard, which finally dropped all G3 support. Since 10.6, PowerPC support is non-existent/dropped, and Mac OS X is currently designed for Mac computers with Intel 32-bit (x86) and Intel 64-bit (x86_64) architectures. AMD is not currently officially supported. Starting with 10.7 'Lion', Mac OS X is now referred to simply as 'OS X'.^[2]

The 'iPhone OS' or iOS, which powers the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad^[3] is a direct descendant of OS X, and shares its design and many internal frameworks. The previous version of OS X is 'Yosemite' (10.10), released on October 16, 2014.^[4] macOS Sierra (10.12 internally) is currently in development, scheduled for this Fall.^[5] Developer previews and Public Betas are available.^[6]

The operating system was handed out for no charge by Apple employees after Steve Jobs' keynote speech at the Seybold publishing.
• MacOS (originally named 'Mac OS X' until 2012 and then 'OS X' until 2016) is the current Mac operating system that officially succeeded the classic Mac OS in 2001. Although the system was originally marketed as simply 'version 10' of Mac OS, it has a history that is largely independent of the classic Mac OS. It is a Unix-based operating system built on NeXTSTEP and other technology developed.

Versions

An update to 0.97, had slight changes but is otherwise the same. The most common version of pre-System 6 OS'es.

System 1.1g

System 1.1g kernel with 2 disks packed with developing / debugging software. This used to be a rare version of the Mac OS until it was released on BetaArchive.

System 1.1h

Mac Os X 10 6 Wiki X

Not much is known about this odd version, but we do know that it exists.

System 2.x

Technically the same as System 1.1, yet has several bug fixes. Recommended for your 128k if you can't get ahold of System 3.x.

System 6

System 6 was a version of Mac OS, It was released on April 1988. The operating system of the Apple Macintosh computer, which was used in the late 1980s prior to the introduction of System 7. It is still widely considered to be the best system software version for the Macintoshes compatible with it. Cooperative multitasking made its Macintosh debut in March 1985 with a program called Switcher, which allowed the user to launch multiple applications and switch between them. However, many programs and features did not function correctly with Switcher, and it did not come with the operating system, so it had to be acquired from Apple separately. System 6 featured a much more seamless approach called MultiFinder. MultiFinder originally debuted with System 5 (System file 4.2 / Finder 6.0). Multitasking under System 6 was optional — startup could be set to Finder or MultiFinder. If MultiFinder was selected, the Finder and its functions continued to run when an application was launched. The MultiFinder environment allowed users to see past the windows of running applications to view Finder icons such as the Trash, or the windows of other applications running in the background.

Mac OS 7

System 7 (codenamed Big Bang) was initially released in May 1991.
Versions 7.0 to 7.1.1 only worked on the 68k platform; 7.1.2 added support for PowerPC processors.

Mac OS 8

Released on July 26, 1997. It had the codename 'Tempo'.
Initially, the early beta releases of the product which were circulated to developers and Apple internal audiences, were branded as Mac OS 7.7 (superseding the current release, Mac OS 7.6). Afterwards, the software was later renamed to Mac OS 8 before the final release.
The fist two releases of Mac OS 8 still could be run on Motorola 68k processors, however version 8.5 dropped support for the 68k platform, only supporting PowerPC based Macintoshes.

Mac OS 9

Released on October 23, 1999, codenamed 'Sonata'.
Apple discontinued development of Mac OS 9 in May 2002.

Mac OS X: 2001-2015

macOS: 2016-present

Timeline

Emulation

There are a few good 68k Macintosh emulators available today, which have been ported to various platforms and operating systems. Most of these emulators can run the full range of 68k Macintosh System Software
There is one PowerPC emulator, SheepShaver, which runs Mac OS System 7.1.2 through 9.0.4, and has been ported to various operating systems. The reason Mac OS 9.1 and up don't run in SheepShaver is that SheepShaver lacks a Memory Management Unit emulator, something that the last few Mac OS Releases needed.

'Introducing MAC OS X Leopard! Now shipping with shiny new macs... yes they're shiny.'

Mac OS 10.6 (or SnewLeopard as it has been named) is Apple's latest installment of the Mac OS X (X stands of Xylophone lovers!) operating system made for its brand of Macintosh computers. It was released nearly 6 years after the release of the 10.4 version of Mac OS X due to delays caused by the development of the iPhone.

Mac OS 10.6 features over 300 'improvements' such as:

• Not being able to change the color of the Apple logo in the upper left hand corner
• Frequent freezing even on a 2.4 GHz new iMac with 200MB of RAM
• Takes up 8 times as much disk space than OS 10.4
• A start-up screen showing Steve Jobs with Michael Jackson (Bill Gates pops up if you incorrectly log in 1 time every hour of a day)
• Reflective dock that must take up a Hell of a lot of processing power and RAM
• A transparent Menu Bar. Woot! Pretty colors!
• Very small icons on the left side bar in the finder window making it harder to select directories
• The elimination of the search tool Sherlock
• Other new features that require someone with an enormous disposable income to afford and take advantage of.
• A poor spinoff of the Recycle Bin called the Time Machine
• System requirements that obsolete every Mac made before 2006

• 1Spaces

Spaces[edit]

Spaces, Apples answer to clutter! A nice, but not so innovative or useful addition to Mac OS 10.5, made even worse by 10.6. One can create up to 16 small little boxes to take up the screen of your computer and each box can hold anything you want like, that movie you're making in iLife (Or trying to make), the games your playing (On a Mac? Dream on Buddy), the

!?!or Photoshop (Well who doesn't edit

!?!) With Spaces you can do anything (If you replace the word anything with nothing) and it's an innovation that has never been thought of before (If you replace never with probably) its almost the same thing as pressing F9 on OS 10.4, but its better, because its Apple. Here are some things you can do with spaces!

• Put your Safari window in the upper right hand box
• Put your Safari window in the lower left hand box

The Past with Time Machine[edit]

'A Giant Leap Backward!'

The original Time Machine is Mac OS X's Automatic software which enables a person to go back in time. Before Mac OS 10.5, if a person needed to go back in time, it would take a few decades of their time huddled in a box crying about the fact that they did not have the newest toy from apple, but now Time Machine automatically goes back in time. The User Interface of Time Machine is unamazing, the unnecessary graphics take up enormous amounts of CPU capacity and RAM, all the while only making the user feel small and insignificant as compared to the of the swirling galaxies in our universe represented in the background. Time Machine requires an 8 trillon GHz processor to go back a year. If a user wants to take advantage of Time Machine, they must believe in Steve Jobs.

The Future with Time Machine (to be discontinued)[edit]

Apple bundled a new feature Mac OS 10.6 for the original Time Machine function. With the latest updates, you can not only go back in time, but forwards. Best of all, it is still automatic. Thus, if you're bored, Time Machine will automatically bring you in the future until you find something to do. Because you yourself are like how you are, this will create a paradox, thus killing you. There were many charges pressed on this, but with Apple getting top dollar for every sale already achieved, they can do whatever they damn well please. This feature has been announced to be removed in the Mac OS Y software update, but in Mac OS 10.7 or 'Lion', will be boosted to increase more casualties: Apple has the money, they pay off press charges, press charges advertise apple. PROFIT.

Extra Hardware[edit]

Recently, Apple released the Time Capsule to the public. There is a dial along the side to set the release time, from After, you fit yourself and family along with your most important belongings into this diamond-titanium mineral combination of a capsule and close the lid. This locks the lid shut from the inside and the outside, until the dial-set time limit is reached, then it may be opened from the outside. When you manage the leave, you will find your belongings and family members gone as payment to Apple, considering the product is very well cheap(Apple still needs something, you know).

(Apple would now like you to buy the new improved iMac, Buy, buy, BUY!)

The New Finder and Cover Flow[edit]

The new Finder features a completely unrevised look, much like that of the new iLife. Apple developers have replaced the old brushed metal look with a much simpler gradient background that looks as if it took 90 seconds to make in Photoshop and made 100 developers use iQuit. The new finder features yet another new feature, Cover Flow, another interesting, but not so necessary feature in the new OS. Cover Flow allows users to look through files virtually like in iTunes, and is yet another new feature designed to make it easier for your grandmother to use the computer but in actuality will just make her even more confused than she already is. In addition to making your grandmother confused with cover flow, the icons on the sidebar in the new finder window are so small they are just barely visible, such that your grandmother wont be-able to see them now even with her glasses on, causing her to call you every 5 seconds so that you will click on it for her causing you much pain and frustration.

The New iChat and Mail[edit]

The new iChat is and Mail have been greatly improved for OS 10.6. The New mail has included a new feature called smart folders that automatically sorts email based on certain parameters, such as dates received or sent, from certain people and other things as well; a feature that web based email has had for years that is now available to you with Leopard.
iChat, the application that allows you to communicate the same information to someone as you probably could with a phone or email but with almost infinite times the bandwidth usage and the need to actually wear cloths when you communicate with them has been improved by Apple to now take up 500 kb/s of bandwidth (or more) of your internet connection. The new iChat greatly improves upon the old iChat, now not only can you talk to other people through a video screen, you can now control their computer with it too (Big brother is watching you). In addition, you no longer have to look like your normal self since Apple has introduced video effects that can contort your image, or add a video effect or even a false background. The false background is very important for those types that want to go to the beach, pretend they're at work in the office but have to video conference with other mac owners in the business world. However the video effects will most likely be used for male mac users to impress mac owning females (or other men) on the other end by letting them know how cool the video effect i that they're using, and by extension how cool they are for owning a mac, when instead they should just go next door and talk to them personally.
