How to update your Mac
1. You should back up your Mac before installation. To do this you can use Time Machine.
2. Use the Updates pane of the Mac App Store to check for the latest Apple software updates, including this update.
3. Other software updates available for your computer might appear, which you should install. Some updates might need to be installed before other updates appear.
4. Don’t interrupt the installation process once you’ve started to update your system.
5. You might experience unexpected results if you have third-party system software modifications installed, or if you’ve modified the operating system through other means.

You can also download the manual installer for this update. This is a useful option when you need to update multiple computers but only want to download the update once. Manual installers are available from Apple Support Downloads.

"Whose bosses paleface?"

Thanks, apple. That's mighty white of you.

Homosexuals and their man-hating associates have used false rumors to push many decent people out of all kinds of corporate offices, government jobs and universities. Most straights subjected to that treatment have known better than to complain to their relatives in the courts.

They've gathered by the hundreds around public park restrooms to terrorize women and children. Police eventually gave up after being individually persecuted for the mass arrests in attempting to keep the peace.

They've harassed their neighbors by hosting mobs of professionals at their meth parties.

In sponsoring the media, they have their say and tell the rest of us to shut up and buy their products. Now, they're putting small business people out of business for refusing to pay homage to their problem, having their say through their media and telling everyone else to shut up.

Every time Apple lists all the great new features they’re rolling out it reminds me of just how backward their stuff is compared to the alternatives the rest of us have been enjoying for a long time.

> NT4 SP6?

LOL! No, although all of the NT4 servers I had the dubious pleasure of working with over the years were pretty f***ed up before they were retired.

It was XP, I believe around the time of SP2. SP2 itself was a special treat, but as I recall it was a smaller patch that acted just like somebody had driven a 16-inch spike through a tire, through the wheel well, and into the gas tank. Total loss, had to restore the whole machine from backups. Veritas BackupExec, another special treat....

NT4 SP6 was so bad it was actually pulled and replaced by 6a within 24 hours of it’s release.

I was so sick of NT4 at that point I barely remember SP6. I was already starting to convert over to brand new shiny NT5 Windows Server 2000...

I'm dying to find out what "alternatives" you think "the rest of us" are enjoying that make Apple's gear look backward.

Seriously.

Sure, Apple isn't first with every feature, and in a few notable instances they've been late to the table. But they usually are years ahead of everybody else.

So... what are you speaking of?

Starting from the top of the list... the ability to sort my photos by date or other attributes. Being able to upload the photo in original format. Etc... etc...etc.

And for minor app feature stuff like that (which for the sake of discussion I'll grant you they were late with) you slam Apple for being backward compared to the competition in general?

Well, ooookaaaay.... to each their own. Ain't freedom of choice wonderful?

Just about the time 2000 came out, I was hip deep in converting the whole org from Netware and Groupwise to a Windows domain and Exchange, and had turned server maintenance over to somebody else.

Ah, those heady days of yesteryear in computing! :)

I'm just saying, every time they come out with these "new feature" lists I'm always surprised that the listed features didn't exist already in their stuff.

That's not to say they're not the most advanced things in the existence of time... of course they are.

Yep. When they bought another company, and they asked for a list of what I needed to get them integrated I had a list of hardware, cabling, and software licenses, and at the end of the list "a brace of grunts".

Actually Photos replaces iPhoto in OS X. I am still checking it out, but it seems like a nice improvement over iPhoto.

Well, on that we can agree in part -- I have the same observation sometimes. Here's how I see it, as one who is nobody's fanboy:

Apple generally gets the visionary concepts and system design right, and is generally first to market with those concepts embodied in a solid product.

Others are later with the system designs, but to make up for that, they often bring out many smaller non-visionary but useful features.

Apple follows later, adding those feature it deems most useful. So the features sometimes appear after somebody else had them. But what differentiates Apple's products, in my opinion, is not the individual features, but the vision and the excellence in system design and execution. For me, lists of "new" features are often anti-climactic.

Everybody's got their areas where they're tops. Can't all be the same.
