It’s nothing you can’t already do manually or with third-party programs such as Moom, but it hides menus and other unnecessary program features to fill the screen with more of the text or work you’re trying to get done. Drag a window to the top of the screen or hold down the green “maximise” button to organise the windows and drag them on to a new space or on top of a pre-existing one to get going. Spotlight search can now be moved and enlarged and responds to natural language searches such as “files I worked on in March” or “email I sent to Alex about adblocking” – which sounds great, but in practice just skips out a bit of syntax such as “subject: adblocking”.Įl Capitan improves full-screen window management with Split View, taken straight from iOS, allowing two apps to fill one screen with a resizing line down the middle just like Windows 8. Shake the cursor and it enlarges so you can see it more easily if it’s lost on screen.

Typing out natural language feels a little strange, but mostly does what it is meant to and makes finding files or emails a little easier.

#LATE 2012 MAC MINI YOSEMITE UPDATE#
OS X 10.11 El Capitan is a free update from the Mac App Store released on 30 September. It’s the first version of any of Apple’s software I have installed that has actually sped up the machine. Those that can and will interact with Metal directly – programs such as Adobe Photoshop or Premier, or games – will see an even greater boost. Apps that use Apple’s core graphics system will benefit without having to do anything. Metal replaces OpenGL and speeds things up. Part of that performance boost is the introduction of Apple’s Metal graphics system, which was first introduced with iOS 8. Photograph: Samuel Gibbs/The GuardianĪpple claims that speed has improved between 1.4 and four times the performance of OS X Yosemite, depending on the task, and in my testing I would say that the figure is about right.

Is my only recourse to re-install 10.6.8 - or just say screw it and install a fresh 10.10.5 (I can't go to El Capitan due to it not being mature and some audio drivers that might not work)? I'd prefer to avoid the latter if possible.Apple Maps gains public transport directions, mirroring iOS 9. I thought removing the kernel caches would let it boot in 'generic' fashion? I thought a 2012 Mac mini could boot 10.6.8, surely? " dots after mentioning " Loading drivers" and then it gets stuck before the end. I thought if I manually removed the kernel caches (while booted off the 1 TB 10.10.5 internal HDD) and set the boot flags to boot in Safe Mode, it would boot. I realize it came from a completely different machine, sure. (Given Windows' finicky nature about precise hardware matching, I'm not surprised.)īut I was surprised to see that it wouldn't boot into 10.6.8. I can't boot it up into Windows - it BSODs pretty quickly.

The SSD has two partitions one is Mac OS X 10.6.8 and the other is a Windows 7 BootCamp partition.
I have it in an external 2.5" USB case momentarily for testing before the transplant. I want to transplant the old SSD into the Mac mini. (It runs Yosemite 10.10.5 for the moment it's a fresh system with essentially nothing on it.) The Mac mini just has a single 1 TB internal drive. I recently replaced the Mac Pro's 240 GB OWC SSD with a newer 480 GB OWC SSD.

I have a Mid 2010 Mac Pro as well as a Late 2012 Mac mini.
