Fusion drives combine flash storage with a hard drive, they are a way of benefiting from a faster solid state drive while at the same time taking advantage of the extra storage offered by a cheaper hard drive. For example, Messages in iCloud, first teased at WWDC in June 2017, arrived on the Mac and iPhone in June 2018.īut the biggest embarrassment has to be Apple’s failure to get APFS – it’s new file structure introduced with High Sierra – to work with Fusion drives and hard drives. High Sierra also had a few promised features that took a long time to appear. And the AirPower, which was announced in September 2017 and still hasn’t shipped (in factĪpple seems to be pretending it never mentioned AirPower in the first place). Take the HomePod, which Apple said would be out in time for Christmas but didn’t ship until February 2018. The company has got into a habit of pre-announcing products and then failing to deliver for a LONG time. Over the last couple of years Apple’s been getting a bit lax at meeting deadlines. Rather than opening up the QuickTime app as used to be required, you can now take a video of the screen by pressing Command + Shift + 5 and either Record Entire Screen or Record Selected Portion. So you won’t ever have to open Preview, or Photoshop again.Įven more exciting, Apple has simplified the way you can take video of what’s happening on the screen. When you take the screenshot you’ll see a thumbnail appear on the right side of the screen, and if you select that thumbnail you will gain access to those markup features for cropping, rotating and so on. ![]() How screenshotting works on the iPhone or iPad. Well, in Mojave, taking a screenshot will remind you of On High Sierra you can press Command + Shift + 4 to take a screenshot of a section of the screen, or Command + Shift + 3 to screenshot the whole screen, for example. There hasn’t really been any change to the process of taking a screenshot since the introduction of Mac OS X back in 2001. There are also changes involving screenshots. However, the one disadvantage is that the files don’t seem to be in any logical order in this view – at least they weren’t chronological – so finding what we were after in a large file wasn’t a simple process. Perhaps Apple has found that most people don’t really use sensible file names when saving a document, so seeing a preview is a more logical way to identify whether its what you are looking for. It’s a very visual view, rather than seeing the file name as you do would in an older macOS, all the focus is on the preview of the file or photo. And you’ll also get a sidebar with metadata. Where Cover Flow (introduced in Leopard in 2007, and based on iTunes) gives you a small preview of your files and images that you can flick through until you see what you are looking for, the new Gallery view is more like the view you get when scrolling through photos. There’s a new Gallery view, which replaces the Cover Flow view. The Finder gets a few changes of its own. ![]() You won’t have to hunt for the image you are looking for – you only need to click on the Images Stack. In Mojave the files, folders and photos you drag onto your Desktop will be grouped automatically into Stacks. But Mojave might just have gone one step further in helping you keep it a little more organised. Shared Desktops had to be our favourite feature of Sierra. Whatever your system, the Desktop is a good place to store things – especially as, since Sierra launched in 2016 it’s been possible to sync your Desktop across all your Macs via iCloud – so you can literally have the same Desktop (and all your usual folders, or mess) available wherever you are. ![]() Others of us have a slightly more organised file structure on our Desktop with folders for, say Images and Work. Some of us a tidier than others, we have a Stuff folder which from time to time we stuff everything into. Most of the Mac users we know have a bit of a habit of filing EVERYTHING on the desktop.
