Mac OS Mountain Lion is a major release of OS X for Apple's desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers. OS X Mountain Lion was released on July 25th, 2012 where it was available for purchase or download through the Mac App Store. There are several new changes that were included with OS X Mountain Lion. Of the many new features of OS X Mountain Lion, I will highlight a few of them.
One of the new features is Messages. With Messages you can send messages to anyone on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 5. Some of the things you can do is send videos, photos, documents, and contacts. You can also see when someone receives your message, is typing a reply, and they can see when you read their message.
Another new feature is Notes. Notes is a built-in application and part of the iCloud system preferences. When you have your notes set to work with iCloud on your iPhone or iPad, they will stay in sync. Some of the things you can do with notes are: add, delete, flip through them, search through them, share them, and pin them to the desktop.
Notification Center is another new feature. With Notification Center, a banner appears in the top right hand corner of the computer screen when you receive an e-mail, a message, a software update, or a calendar alert. You receive a preview of the message so you don't have to stop what you were doing in order to see what's inside of the message is.
AirPlay Mirroring is another feature added to OS X Mountain Lion. AirPlay Mirroring you can connect laptop to a television or other projection device in order to share what you have on your computer. This can only be accomplished by using the right adapters. This can be great for both the home and business.
AirPlay Mirroring is a feature that was present on iPad 2 and Apple TV before migrating to OS X Mountain Lion.
The last feature I will be discussing is iCloud. iCloud is what makes it possible for a Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch to work together. With iCloud, when you add, change, or delete something from your Mac, it will also be deleted from your iPhone, iPad, and iPod as well. In order to make iCloud work, all you do is sign in once and all the rest is automatic.
