2013-10-24
hello everyone i'm jason parker / seen it and today we're going to look at mac OS 10 Mavericks with new features new apps and other improvements those plenty to show up to start off the new finder tabs work much in the same way the tabs new in Safari a plus sign button on the right lets you open a new tab and you can drag them drop tabs just like in a web browser you could have one tab for air drop in another for documents then drag and drop files to airdrop to send to a co-worker Finder windows can be expanded to full screen mode as well make it easier to organize and find documents there's also a new tagging system in Mavericks now you can add multiple tags to documents you can search on one or more tags to get the exact files you want when saving a file you can pick a color pic from some standard tags like work or home or assign your own tech now to get all the documents of that share a tag you can select it in the left navigation of the finder or search for it by a spotlight next the calendar app got a facelift and a bit more functionality the scheme orphic leather-bound look is gone replaced by clean lines and interface elements to draw your attention to what's important a streamlined event inspector will autocomplete location addresses give you driving time to your destination and present you with a map click it to see the destination in the Maps app and yes if you hadn't heard Apple maps is now on your Mac even though it's been somewhat maligned it has improved quite a lot over time and I think it's a useful addition to Mavericks Apple maps is integrated with your calendar like I showed a second ago but you can also get quick directions from context and you can quickly view an address in the mail app when exploring the app on your Mac is a great experience letting you switch views like you do in iOS and using 3d flyover on the trackpad is both smooth and looks great another cool feature in mass is the ability to send directions to another device simply search for the place you want to go on your Mac then go to the share button to send the directions to your iOS device it's important to note you'll need to be signed in to your iCloud account via the Mac preferences in order for this cool feature to work now let's check out Safari a personal favorite new feature of mine is the new sidebar where you can click bookmarks on the left and quickly sift through websites on the right you also have easy access to your reading list top sites gets a new flatter look and Mavericks and it's easier to customize just drag and drop tiles where you want them or you can pull out a bookmark and place it on top sites for easy access that's all we have time for today but there's a lot more to Mavericks than what we've shown here you can get more info about the new iCloud keychain better multiple display support for full screen apps notifications with updates from your favorite sites and more in my written review for seen it Mavericks is available right now at the mac app store and is free to all users thanks for watching everyone i'm jason parker percy net and this has been a first look at mac OS 10 Mavericks see you next time
