Make the most of your day.
From startup to sundown.
Fifth-generation Intel Core processors in MacBook Air give you more time to do more things. Add that to an array of other smart and efficient features, and you have an incredible amount of power in your hands. While carrying next to nothing.
Up to 12 hours of battery life.
Power through your whole day.
Fifth-generation Intel Core processons.
Performance meet endurance.
802.11ac Wi-Fi.
The definition of fast.
MacBook Air supports ultrafast 802.11ac Wi-Fi. When connected to an 802.11ac base station — including AirPort Extreme and AirPort Time Capsule — wireless performance is up to 3x faster than 802.11n Wi-Fi. And your Wi-Fi range improves as well. With Bluetooth technology, you can connect MacBook Air to Bluetooth-enabled devices like speakers and headphones. Even without all the wires, you’re totally connected.
Fast all-flash storage.
Ready. Set. Done.
Part of what makes MacBook Air so responsive is that it’s designed entirely around flash storage. Not only does this make MacBook Air much lighter and more portable than traditional notebooks, it also provides faster access to data. Available in capacities up to 512GB, this PCIe-based flash storage is up to 17x faster than a traditional 5400-rpm notebook hard drive. So when you flip open MacBook Air, it’s ready to go right away. Even after a month in standby mode, the screen springs to life.
Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3.
Make some powerful connections.
With a Thunderbolt 2 port that’s twice as fast as the previous generation, you can connect your MacBook Air to the latest devices and displays, like the Apple Thunderbolt Display. But that’s not the whole story. MacBook Air also comes equipped with two USB 3 ports, so you can connect the latest USB 3 devices and all your USB 2 devices as well. With just a few connections, MacBook Air transforms from an ultraportable notebook to a complete workstation.
Display, camera, and mics.
Impressive. In every sense.
LED-backlit display. Millions of pixels.
Millimeters thin.
Corner to corner and pixel by pixel, the MacBook Air display is
both an engineering feat and a design breakthrough. The display measures
a mere 4.86 millimeters (0.19 inch) thin, yet its resolution makes you
feel like you’re looking at a larger screen. The 11-inch MacBook Air
features a resolution of 1366 by 768 pixels, while the 13-inch model
wows with a resolution of 1440 by 900 pixels. And LED backlighting makes
colors bright and vibrant from edge to edge. So whether you’re editing
photos, perfecting a presentation, or watching a movie, you’re going to
love what you see.
720p FaceTime HD camera.
Stay sharp.
Let your friends and family see more of you with the 720p
FaceTime HD camera. Every smile looks bright, even halfway around the
world. And the widescreen format means everyone can fit into the picture
without having to crowd around the display.Dual mics. They’ll hear you loud and clear.
The dual microphones in MacBook Air are great for when you want to be heard. If you’re making a FaceTime call, for example, the mics reduce background noise from behind the notebook. And when you use Dictation, they create an adaptive audio beam that intelligently adjusts to detect your voice — instead of the noise around you.
Multi-Touch trackpad.
It goes hand in hand with OS X.

Backlit keyboard.
What you see is what you type.
iCloud.
Your content. On all your devices.
iCloud connects you and your Apple devices in amazing ways. iCloud Photo Library and iCloud Drive keep all your photos, videos, and documents stored securely and updated everywhere. Family Sharing lets you easily share music, movies, photos, and more with everyone in your family. Find My iPhone even helps you find your device if you lose it. With iCloud, you always have what’s most important to you on whatever device you have in hand. And it’s all done automatically. Just like that.
iCloud Photo Library
You’re never without your camera.
Now you’ll never be without your photos.
Every photo and video you take lives in iCloud —
giving you the freedom to access your library from any device, anytime
you want. So you can view a photo from last week or last year no matter
where you are.
Access all your photos from anywhere.
iCloud Photo Library automatically keeps all your photos in the cloud, so you can access them on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, on iCloud.com, or download them to your PC. And when you edit a picture using Photos, your changes are uploaded to iCloud and visible everywhere. Just go to iCloud settings, tap Photos, and enable iCloud Photo Library.Organized here, there, and everywhere.
iCloud Photo Library keeps your photos and videos organized into Moments, Collections, and Years across all your devices — and even on the web. You can mark favorites, create albums, or drag photos into a custom order.
Fill your library, not your device.
Now you can spend more time shooting pictures and less time managing them. iCloud Photo Library helps you make the most of the space available on your Apple devices by automatically storing the original high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and leaving behind the lightweight versions that are perfectly sized for each device — taking up only as much space as needed.Always original. Down to every last pixel.
When you save photos and videos to iCloud Photo Library, your memories are always kept exactly as you took them. All your images are held in their original formats at full resolution — JPEG, RAW, PNG, GIF, TIFF, and MP4, as well as special formats you capture with your iPhone, like slo-mo, time-lapse, 4K videos, and Live Photos. And any edits you make are reversible, so you can always go back to your original shot in iCloud.To get started, all it takes is a snapshot and some friends.
With iCloud Photo Sharing, you can create a shared
album to control who sees what — because sometimes you only want to
share your photos with the people who truly appreciate them. Simply
choose a photo (or photos) to start with and invite a few friends to
join in, make comments, and even add their own shots.
Create a shared album.
Start a shared album for an event or period of time, like a dinner party or an entire soccer season.
Invite who you want.
Invite up to 100 of your favorite people. Adding friends is as easy as clicking a contact.
Add photos with ease.
To post photos and videos, just tap iCloud Photo Sharing in your share sheet.All the updates to your shared photos. All in one place.
With the Activity View in Photos, you can see all
the updates to your shared albums at a glance, no matter which device
you’re on. Quickly swipe through to browse the latest photos, videos,
and comments. You can even make a few comments of your own.
Easily manage subscribers, contributors, notification settings, invitations, and more.
Activity View
See the latest updates to all your photo streams at a glance. Add new photos or comments.
Real-time notifications
When someone joins your album, posts a photo, or makes a comment, you’ll be the first to know.
See your shared albums on the big screen.
With iCloud Photo Sharing and Apple TV, you can
view your group’s latest photos and videos on your HDTV for some truly
entertaining reality television. So you can, say, check out the photos
and videos of your Argentine vacation — from everyone who went on the
trip. All gathered around your widescreen TV.
iCloud Drive
With iCloud Drive, you can safely store all your documents in iCloud and
access them from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or even PC. And on
your iOS device, those documents are easier than ever to find — thanks
to the new iCloud Drive app built into iOS 9, which lets you access all
the files you store in iCloud from one convenient place.
Any kind of file. On all your devices.
With iCloud Drive, you can safely store all your
presentations, spreadsheets, PDFs, images, and any other kind of
document in iCloud — and access them from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch,
Mac, or PC. And the new iCloud Drive app built into iOS 9 makes it even
easier to bring up documents on your iOS device. Because you can access
anything you save to iCloud right from one place on your Home screen.
Keeping your files in iCloud is simple. Just as it should be.
With the iCloud Drive app built into iOS 9, all
your files are easy to find, organize, and share — all from one place.
To add new files, just start a new document using an iCloud-enabled app
on your iOS device. And on your Mac running OS X Yosemite or later, or
your PC running Windows 7 or later, you can just drag files into the
iCloud Drive folder. Everything stays up to date automatically — across
all your devices.
Edits you make on one device
appear on all of them.
Using iCloud Drive means you’ll always have access
to the latest version of all your documents from any device. For
example, you can start creating a presentation on your Mac at home, then
make final edits and present it in class using your iPad. All the
changes you make along the way appear automatically on all your devices.
Start your work in one app.
Add the finishing touches in another.
Your apps can now share files, which means you can
access and work on the same file across multiple apps. Easily search for
a file or browse in the new iCloud Drive app built into iOS 9 by date,
name, or tags you added on your Mac. When you’ve found the file you
need, simply open it in any compatible app to edit it. For example, you
can create a drawing in a sketching app, then open it in a painting app
to color it in. Or create a chart in one app and place it in a slideshow
using a presentation app. No more making copies or importing documents
from one app to another. It’s a whole new level of collaboration
between apps.
Family Sharing
Now up to six members of your family can share iTunes, iBooks, and App
Store purchases, along with family photos, calendars, locations, and
more. And with an Apple Music family membership, everyone gets full
access to Apple Music, too. It’s the easy way to bring harmony to your
family’s digital life.
Bring harmony to your family’s digital life.
Family Sharing makes it easy for up to six people
in your family to share each other’s iTunes, iBooks, and App Store
purchases without sharing accounts. Pay for family purchases with the
same credit card and approve kids’ spending right from a parent’s
device. Share photos, a family calendar, and more to help keep everyone
connected. And with an Apple Music family membership, up to six people
can get full access to Apple Music, too.
Getting set up is simple.
Create your Family Sharing group, invite members to
join, and enjoy each other’s digital company. Go to iCloud settings on
your iOS device or Mac and tap Set Up Family Sharing to get started.
Get organized.
To get started, one adult in your household — the organizer — invites up to five additional family members and agrees to pay for any iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases
they initiate while part of the family group. Once family members join,
the features of Family Sharing are set up on everyone’s
devices automatically.
All your family’s purchases
on all your family’s devices.
Everything’s better when shared, and sharing has
never been easier. Once you’ve set up Family Sharing, all the songs,
albums, movies, TV shows, books, and apps ever purchased by family
members are immediately available to everyone else in the group.
And, of course, so are new purchases. The content appears automatically
in the Purchased tab in iTunes, iBooks, or the App Store for each
family member. Just select the family member whose collection you’d like
to browse, then download or play the content you choose.
Other family members can access your collection in the same way. If you
want to keep some purchases private, you can choose to hide individual items.
An Apple Music membership for everyone in your family.
With an Apple Music family membership, up to six
people in your family can enjoy unlimited access to Apple Music on their
devices. Everyone gets full, individual access to the Apple Music
library, expert recommendations, 24/7 worldwide radio with Beats 1, and
on-demand radio stations. It’s the whole world of music for the
whole family.
Making purchases is easy.
So is setting limits.
All new iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases
initiated by family members will be billed to the organizer’s account.
But the organizer can still call the shots. Just turn on Ask to Buy
for children in the family. When a child initiates a purchase, an alert
is sent to the organizer, who can review the download and approve or
decline it right from the organizer’s device. This applies to both
purchases and free downloads.
They ask to buy.
Before your children can make a purchase, they must ask your permission.
You reply from anywhere.
A notification appears on your device. You can review the request, then approve or decline it.
The whole family can contribute to
the family photo album.
Now collecting and sharing family memories is
easier and more fun. When Family Sharing is turned on, a shared album is
set up automatically in the Photos app on all family members’ devices.
Then everyone can add photos, videos, and comments to the album and be
notified when something new is added.
Now it’s easy to be one of those
organized families.
Family Sharing creates a family calendar where
everyone can view, add, or change events and appointments, and they can
also get an alert when something changes. And anyone can use the
Reminders app to send time or location reminders to the family. So when
it’s picture day, pizza night, or just a trip to the beach, everyone’s
in the know.
Keep track of where everybody is.
When you join a Family Sharing group, you can start sharing your location
with the rest of the family automatically. If you’re running late to a
restaurant or need to know if your kid made it to band practice, just
use Find My Friends or the Messages app to keep tabs on each other. If
you need privacy, you can temporarily stop sharing your location by
turning off Share My Location in iCloud settings.
Find everybody’s devices.
Finding your family’s lost devices is easier when
everyone can help. With Family Sharing and Find My iPhone, any family
member can help locate another member’s missing device. Their devices
appear in a single list in the Find My iPhone app. So it’s easier than
ever to track down a misplaced or stolen iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
Notes.
Now you can do so much more with Notes — like
adding photos, maps, and web links, or even drawing a sketch with your
finger. And Notes works with iCloud so you can access any of your notes
on any of your devices. Use Notes to create a wish list or add images to
a note while browsing on your Mac, then pull it up on your iPhone when
you’re out and about. All your content is updated in real time, so
you’ll always have your latest notes at hand.
All your music, everywhere.
If you’re an Apple Music member, your entire
library lives in iCloud, so not only will you always be able to access
all your music, but it won’t take up any space on your devices. And
iCloud Music Library makes whatever you buy in iTunes and the App Store
immediately available on all your devices, too. iTunes Match
also lets you store your other music in iCloud, like songs you’ve
imported from CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes — so all your
music is always everywhere you want it.
Mail, Calendar, Contacts, and Reminders.
With iCloud, you have your inbox, calendar,
contacts, and other important information in your pocket and on your
desktop. When you delete an email, add a calendar event, update a
contact, or check off a to-do item, iCloud makes the changes everywhere.
Find My iPhone, iPad, or Mac.
Lost your iPhone? Can’t find your iPad? Misplaced
your MacBook Air? iCloud can help you try to get them back. If it looks
like you won't be able to, Activation Lock makes it hard for anyone
who’s not you to use or sell your device.
Safari and iCloud Keychain.
Start surfing on your iPhone and pick up where you
left off on your Mac or iPad — or vice versa. And don’t worry about
remembering all those passwords for websites or apps. iCloud Keychain
keeps track of your account names, passwords, and credit card numbers.
Backup.
You have all sorts of important stuff on your
iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, like your photos and videos. iCloud
automatically backs it up daily anytime your device is plugged in and
connected to Wi-Fi. You don’t have to do a thing. And you can use your
backup to restore your device or set up a new one.
Privacy and Security.
Apple takes data security and the privacy of your personal information very seriously, and iCloud features are designed with your privacy in mind. All your iCloud content — like photos, documents, and contacts — is encrypted when sent over the Internet and, in most cases, when stored on our servers. If we use third-party vendors to store your information, we encrypt it and never give them the keys. And security enhancements like two‑factor authentication helps to ensure the important information in your account can only be accessed by you, and only with your devices.iCloud.com.
iCloud.com
is a great way to access your information when you’re away from your
iOS devices. You can sign in to iCloud.com from any Mac or PC to view
all your photos and videos in iCloud Photo Library. You can also use
iCloud.com to view documents you saved in iCloud Drive and to access
features like Find My iPhone, Notes, Mail, Calendar, Contacts, iWork for
iCloud, and more.
Powerful apps included.
Get right to work. And play.
Every new Mac comes with Photos, iMovie, GarageBand, Pages, Numbers, and
Keynote. So you can be creative and productive right from the start.
You also get great apps for email, surfing the web, sending texts, and
making FaceTime calls — there’s even an app for finding new apps.
OS X El Capitan.
There’s more to love with every click.
The deeper you look, the more beautiful it becomes.
Sure, MacBook Air is unbelievably thin and light. But we also designed
it to be powerful, capable, durable, and enjoyable to use. With enough
battery life to get you through the day. That’s the difference between a
notebook that’s simply thin and light and one that’s so much more.
Thin, light, durable.
Thank you, flash storage.
Thank you, flash storage.
Flash storage helps make MacBook Air incredibly thin and light — under an inch and as little as 2.38 pounds. Flash is also solid state, meaning there are no moving parts. Which makes it reliable, durable, and quiet. And it takes up much less space than a traditional hard drive — about 90 percent less, in fact. That creates room for other important things, like a bigger battery. So you have a notebook that weighs almost nothing and runs all day long. Now that’s mobility mastered.
See your QWERTY in lights.
Anyone can try to make a notebook that’s thin and light. Success comes
in doing it without cutting corners. That’s why MacBook Air features a
full-size keyboard that’s just as comfortable to type on as a desktop
keyboard. And the keyboard is backlit, so you can type in low-light
conditions with ease. A built‑in sensor detects changes in the ambient
lighting and adjusts the keyboard and display brightness automatically,
giving you the perfect illumination in any environment.
Multi-Touch. Precise control at your fingertips.
Multi-Touch is part of practically every Apple product. It’s the best
and most personal way to interact with your devices. The optimal way to
experience Multi-Touch on a notebook is through a trackpad. That’s
precisely the case with MacBook Air. The trackpad’s spacious, all-glass
surface doesn’t have a button because the whole thing is the button. And
with Multi-Touch gestures in OS X, you can interact with MacBook Air in
ways that feel completely intuitive and realistic.
A battery that can get you through the day.
And the month.
A battery that can get you through the day.
And the month.
If you looked inside MacBook Air, you’d see something remarkable: how much space we devoted to the battery. That’s thanks to smaller components such as flash storage. And when the goal is to design the perfect notebook for everyday use, giving priority to the battery just makes sense. With the 11-inch MacBook Air, you’ll get up to 9 hours of battery life while surfing the web or up to 10 hours while watching iTunes movies. And the 13-inch model lasts up to a staggering 12 hours. Put MacBook Air to sleep for more than 3 hours, and it enters standby mode. That means you can come back to MacBook Air up to an entire month later and it wakes in an instant. Time is on your side, courtesy of MacBook Air.
And durability.
MacBook Air features a unibody design for both the main enclosure and the display. Unibody construction means a higher-precision, less complex design with fewer parts. That translates to a notebook that’s exceptionally thin and light, yet durable enough to handle the rigors of everyday use. In addition, MacBook Air offers innovations you won’t find anywhere else — like the MagSafe 2 power connector, which breaks cleanly away from the notebook if you accidentally trip over the power cord.
MagSafe 2 Power Connector
The magnetic power cord attachessecurely and detaches cleanly.
Power to go. And keep going.
New fifth-generation Intel Core processors with fast graphics.
Fifth-generation Intel Core i5 and i7 processors — based on the
groundbreaking Broadwell ULT architecture — give MacBook Air the power
you need to finish the task at hand. Whatever the task may be. The
dual-core Intel Core i5 with Turbo Boost speeds up to 2.7GHz comes
standard. Or you can choose the optional dual-core Intel Core i7
processor for 2.2GHz of processing power and Turbo Boost speeds up to
3.2GHz. In addition, these processors are much more power efficient,
which means you’re able to do all the things you love to do on a
computer for longer than ever — up to 9 hours between battery charges on
the 11-inch MacBook Air and up to 12 hours on the 13-inch model.1
And with the Intel HD Graphics 6000 processor, you get fast graphics
performance. So when you’re trying to level up in your favorite game —
or taking on other graphics-intensive tasks — things move more smoothly
and with greater detail.
MacBook Air features up to 8GB of superfast, power-efficient 1600MHz
LPDDR3 memory. Combine that with powerful processors and fast flash
storage and you get a notebook that can run more memory-intensive
applications at the same time — without compromising performance.Fast memory.
Fast flash storage. Up to 512 GB.
Thunderbolt 2 and USB 3.
OS X.
It’s what makes a Mac a Mac.
OS X is the operating system that powers every
Mac. Built on a rock-solid UNIX foundation, it’s engineered to take full
advantage of what the hardware is capable of. It’s designed to be as
easy to use as it is beautiful to look at. It comes with an amazing
collection of apps you’ll use — and love — every day. And it enables
your Mac and iOS devices to work wonderfully together.
Easy to learn. Easy to use.
On a Mac, it’s easy to find, share, and do just about everything. You can control your Mac with simple, intuitive gestures. The Dock lets you launch your favorite apps with a click. Launchpad gives you quick access to your full library of apps. The Finder lets you browse and organize your files on your Mac and in iCloud with ease. Spotlight search makes locating documents, launching apps, and looking up information effortless. You can even have your apps and the operating system software update automatically. In fact, a Mac does so many things automatically, sometimes you don’t have to do anything at all.
Finder
Launchpad
With Launchpad, you can see, organize, and open all your apps in one place.
Spotlight
Spotlight lets you quickly find information on your Mac and from Wikipedia, news, iTunes, Maps, and more.Every detail considered. And reconsidered.
Over the years, OS X has changed in many ways. But the principles that define it haven’t: power, simplicity, beauty. Across-the-board refinements have made OS X El Capitan even more powerful and easier to use, while maintaining the elements essential to Mac. As with every Apple product, each detail is obsessed over: from the distinctive icons in the Dock to the streamlined toolbars to the fluidity of navigating everything from photos to web pages. Because when it comes to a great experience, the difference is in the details.
Clean controls
New system font
Translucent
Streamlined toolbars
Control your Mac with a click, swipe, or press.
The Multi-Touch trackpad unique to the Mac makes gestures easy and smooth — so using your fingers to tap, scroll, pinch, and swipe feels perfectly natural. These Multi-Touch gestures are a fundamental part of your experience, which makes everything you do on your Mac simple, intuitive, and fun. And with the Force Touch trackpad on the new MacBook and MacBook Pro with Retina display, you can now unlock even more ways to interact with your Mac — right from your fingertips.
Two-finger swipe to navigate
Using two fingers, brush left and right along the trackpad to navigate forward and back in Safari.
Pinch to zoom
Zoom in and out of photos and web pages by moving your thumb and finger in a pinch gesture.
Three-finger swipe
Swipe three fingers to move between desktops and full-screen apps.
Three-finger swipe up for Mission Control
Swipe three fingers up on the trackpad to get a bird’s-eye view of everything running on your Mac.
Force click
Adding a little more pressure to a click enables new
capabilities — Force click a word to learn the definition, an address to
reveal a map, a link to preview a web page, and more.
Software and hardware
made for each other.
OS X is built to bring out the best in your Mac, so you get a
fully integrated system in which everything works together seamlessly.
It works with the processor and graphics controller in your Mac to
deliver the best possible performance. It works with the
super-responsive trackpad in Mac notebooks so Multi-Touch gestures feel
natural to use. OS X even keeps your Mac up to date while it sleeps.
Advanced power-saving technologies help extend battery life. And in
OS X El Capitan, new system fonts are designed to look crisp and vivid
on high-resolution Retina displays.
Amazing apps for everyday things.
With every new Mac, you get a collection of
powerful productivity and creativity apps: Pages, Keynote, Numbers,
Photos, iMovie, and GarageBand. And you get more great apps for the
things you do every day: surf the web, make video calls, send messages,
get driving directions, manage your contacts, access your email, and
more. If you already use an iPhone or iPad, they’ll feel instantly
familiar. Because they’re native apps — not web apps in a browser — they
also take full advantage of the power of your Mac to deliver the
fastest possible performance. And with the Mac App Store built in, it’s
easy to find even more great apps.
Built for power. From the ground up.
Making powerful things simple requires some seriously advanced technologies. OS X is loaded with them. It’s built on a rock-solid, time-tested UNIX foundation that provides unparalleled stability and industry-leading support for Internet standards. OS X takes full advantage of the multicore Intel processors and fast flash storage in your Mac to make quick work of any task. And the incredible graphics capabilities in OS X supply applications like Final Cut Pro with impressive power.
If you use an iPhone, you’ll love what you can do with a Mac.
A Mac will work with your iPhone in ways no other computer can. You can make and receive iPhone calls on your Mac, even if your iPhone is in another room. Send and receive both iMessage and SMS text messages on your Mac. Start an email, document, or browsing session on one device and instantly pick it up on another. And turn on the Personal Hotspot on your iPhone right from your Mac so you can get online in an instant.
iCloud. Everything you love, everywhere you go.
With iCloud, your data is kept up to date on all your devices.
So a contact or a calendar event you add on your iPhone also appears on
your Mac. You can send driving directions from your Mac to your iPhone.
Add a meeting to your calendar on your Mac and receive an alert on your
iPad. Even start a Messages conversation on your iPhone and finish it
on your Mac. If you’re an Apple Music member, your entire library lives
in the cloud, so you can always access all your music without it taking
up any space on your devices. And iCloud Drive lets you access all your
documents on your Mac and iOS devices and even on a PC. So your files
will go wherever you do.
Security was the first thought.
Not an afterthought.
OS X is engineered with advanced technologies
that are constantly working together to keep your Mac and the
information on it safe. Gatekeeper makes it safer to download and
install apps from the web. FileVault safeguards data using powerful
encryption. Sandboxing helps protect your system by isolating apps from
each other, as well as from your system and your data. Customizable
privacy settings keep your personal information under your control. Find
My Mac helps you locate your Mac on a map, set a passcode remotely,
and more.
The best way to keep your Mac secure is to keep your software up to
date. The Mac App Store notifies you when an update is available. And
because OS X El Capitan is a free upgrade, it’s easy to keep your
Mac safe with the latest security features and enhancements.
Compatible with Windows.
The versatility and power of OS X help a Mac
fit in just about anywhere — including Windows networks. Want to
transfer your files, photos, and other data from a Windows PC? OS X lets
you do that easily with Migration Assistant. If you want to run Windows
on your Mac, you can do that with Boot Camp.5
OS X has built-in support for Microsoft Exchange, so you can use your
Mac at home and at work and keep all your messages, meetings, and
contacts in sync. And, of course, you can work with popular file types
such as JPG, MP3, and PDF, as well as Microsoft Word, Excel, and
PowerPoint documents.
Accessibility built in.
OS X comes standard with a wide range of assistive technologies that help people with disabilities experience what the Mac has to offer, including many features you won’t find in other operating systems — at any price. For example, the built-in VoiceOver screen reader, available in over 30 languages, makes it possible for those who are blind or have low vision to control their computers using key commands or gestures on a Multi‑Touch trackpad. Switch Control makes it easier to navigate menus and operate basic controls such as volume, brightness, eject, and media playback. OS X also offers out-of-the-box support for more than 50 braille displays (including Bluetooth displays) and many other accessibility features, such as dynamic full-screen magnification, playback of closed captions, and a scalable screen.One of the best things about a Mac is everything you can do with it.
Every Mac comes with a collection of great apps for
things you do every day, like Safari for surfing the web, Photos for
managing your photos and videos, Pages for creating documents, Numbers
for making spreadsheets, and Keynote for preparing presentations. There
are apps for sending email and text messages, taking notes, and staying
up to date with your contacts and calendar. It even comes with the
Mac App Store for finding new apps. Your Mac is more than fully
featured, it’s fully loaded.
All your photos. Always with you and picture perfect.
The Photos app for Mac makes it simple to manage a
lifetime’s worth of photos and videos. Powerful yet easy-to-use editing
tools let you edit like a pro even if you’re a beginner. And you can add
to your toolkit with editing extensions from your favorite developers
and access them right in the Photos app. Photos has also been fine-tuned
to make it even easier to manage your library. Now you can add a
location to a single image or a group of photos, and you can batch
change photo titles, descriptions, and keywords. Naming your favorite
people in Faces is faster with a streamlined workflow. And you can sort
your albums — and the contents inside them — by date, title, and more.
Featuring an easy-to-use and streamlined design, the all-new Photos has
been engineered from the ground up to help you keep your growing library
organized and accessible. Powerful and intuitive editing tools help you
perfect your images as well as create beautiful gifts for sharing. And
with iCloud Photo Library, a lifetime’s worth of photos and videos can
be stored in the cloud — so you can access your entire collection from
your Mac, iOS devices, and even your PC, anytime.
iCloud Photo Library. One convenient home for all your photos and videos.
iCloud Photo Library gives you access
to your entire Mac photo and video library from all your devices. If you
shoot a snapshot, slo-mo, or selfie on your iPhone, it’s automatically
added to iCloud Photo Library as well — so it appears on your Mac, your
iOS devices, on iCloud.com, and your PC. And since your collection is
organized the same way across your Apple devices, navigating your
library always feels familiar.
Make an edit here, see it there.
When you make changes on your Mac like editing a photo, marking a Favorite, or adding to an album, they’re kept up to date on your iPhone, your iPad, and iCloud.com. And vice versa — any changes made on your iOS devices are automatically reflected on your Mac.Fill your library, not your device.
iCloud Photo Library can help you make the most of the space on your Mac. When you choose “Optimize Mac Storage,” all your full-resolution photos and videos are stored in iCloud in their original formats, with storage-saving versions kept on your Mac as space is needed. You can also optimize storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, so you can access more photos and videos than ever before. You get 5GB of free storage in iCloud — and as your library grows, you have the option to choose a plan for up to 1TB.The moment you’re looking for, always at hand.
The beautiful design of the Photos app uses Moments, Collections, and Years views to automatically organize your photos and videos by when and where they were taken. With dramatically more screen space devoted to your photos, you can easily scan your entire library at a glance and quickly find the content you’re looking for. A new, streamlined toolbar puts the right controls at your fingertips, giving you instant access to the photos you’ve shared, the albums you’ve made, and the projects you’ve created. And you can use gestures to browse your entire photo collection with just a touch.
The Moments view groups photos and videos taken around the same time and place, like an afternoon hike. You can also easily add or adjust a location in your photos. And Live Photos taken on an iPhone come to life when you hover over them with your cursor.
Collections are made up of distinct Moments that were taken at the same place, such as your four-day trip to the Southwest.
View your entire library in a beautiful mosaic of all the photos and videos you’ve taken each year. Click and hold any thumbnail to bring up a preview, and scrub over the collection to see previews of every image. Just release the click to open up the picture.

View the Albums and Smart Albums you’ve created, as well as preset Albums, which automatically group your photos into Favorites, Videos, Panoramas, and more. You can sort your albums — and the contents inside them — by date, title, and more. And you can name your favorite people in the Faces album faster than ever.
View the books, cards, calendars, print orders, and slideshows you’ve created. You can keep working on existing projects or start new ones with ease.

data. So you can spot patterns, recognize trends, and notice
relationships. When you use the impressive charts, graphs, and tools,
seeing becomes understanding.
Make your data tell a story with animated charts that you control. Just drag the slider to spotlight important changes in the numbers. It’s remarkably revealing. And strikingly simple.
Conditional highlighting automatically formats cells when they meet certain numerical, text, date, and duration criteria. Now critical information calls attention to itself.
Just right-click any column or open the filter panel. Numbers shows you ways to filter the data. There’s no quicker way to sort out what the numbers are saying.
Press the Option key as you hover over tables to highlight just the cell you’re looking for and easily scan the related data in the same row and column.
Numbers everywhere
Put all your devices to work. Together.
You don’t work in just one place on just one device.
The same goes for Numbers. Spreadsheets created on your Mac look exactly
the same on your iPhone or iPad and vice versa. And it’s effortless to
move your work from one device to another. You can even access your
spreadsheets from the web, share them, and collaborate with others in
real time.
Always at hand.
Now with iCloud Drive, you have a place in the cloud where you
can store all kinds of files, organize them however you want, and
access them from any of your devices. Put a spreadsheet in an iCloud
Drive folder on one device and you’ll find it in the same folder on your
other devices with your latest edits — so you never have to wonder
what’s where or which is the latest version.
See it here. See it there.
With Handoff, you can seamlessly switch from Numbers on your
iOS device to Numbers on your Mac and vice versa. Whatever spreadsheet
you were last working on will be there waiting for you with all your
latest edits. Thanks to a single file format shared by Numbers for Mac
and Numbers for iOS, your spreadsheet will look the same no matter the
device.
Welcome to the world wide workplace.
With iWork for iCloud, you can access all your spreadsheets
from iCloud.com in any Mac or PC web browser. You can also share a
spreadsheet with others and edit it together in real time — whether
they’re in the next room or on the other side of the world. It’s
amazing. And amazingly productive.Easy to share
Add others to the equation.
Numbers makes it easy to work closely with faraway
colleagues. Just click Share to send a copy of your file. Or share a
link to your spreadsheet with anyone you want. You can even work on
files that are stored with third-party services. And spreadsheets can be
sent via services such as Gmail or Dropbox. Which means everyone sees —
and works on — the same spreadsheet. How’s that for an ideal data
distribution?
Quickly and easily share a link to your work via Mail, Messages, Twitter, or Facebook. So colleagues can conveniently view the shared document in any browser — even on iOS or Android. Your options are almost countless.
AirDrop lets you instantly and securely send your document directly to someone nearby over Wi‑Fi, without having to attach it to an email or a message.
Export your spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel, PDF, CSV, or Numbers ’09 formats.
It’s easy to spread your spreadsheets around.
Microsoft Excel friendly
You don’t have to work in Office to work with Office.
Teaming up with someone who uses Microsoft Excel? Numbers makes it a great working relationship. You can save Numbers spreadsheets as Excel files. Or import and edit Excel spreadsheets right in Numbers. Most popular Excel features are supported, too. Now it’s no problem to work on the same project. Even if you use different apps.
Keynote for Mac
Your presentation. Totally decked out.
Keynote for Mac makes it simple to create and
deliver beautiful presentations. Updated for OS X El Capitan, Keynote
employs powerful tools and dazzling effects that bring your ideas to
life. You can work seamlessly between Mac and iOS devices. And work
effortlessly with people who use Microsoft PowerPoint.
Powerful creative tools
Make a great show of your ideas.
Picture a dazzling presentation. Then make it
happen with easy‑to‑use visual tools. Drop in photos or video. Add
reflections and picture frames. Punch up your data with interactive
charts. Use the new Split View feature in OS X El Capitan to source
stock art in Safari. Then tie it all together with cinema‑quality
transitions. Keynote is built to handle it. Spectacularly.
Use over 30 stunning cinematic transitions and effects for objects and text that will affect your audience in a big way.
Pixel‑accurate rulers and alignment guides make it a snap to line up elements on your slide. Just drag until the guide appears, then let go. Everything literally snaps into position.
Powerful image editing tools help you make every frame an eye‑opener. Automatically tweak photos with one‑click image enhancement. Remove a photo’s background with Instant Alpha. Or even add advanced graphics like contact shadows.
The customizable Presenter Display lets you choose the tools you want to use. You can edit your notes while you present, with the support of up to six displays. And quickly pair with a nearby iOS device to control a presentation on your Mac — even without a wireless network.
The new Split View feature in OS X El Capitan makes quick work of multitasking. Now you can revise your presentation while reviewing your notes. Or resize a chart while searching for supporting visuals in Safari.
Designed for simplicity
It’s easy to get the show started.
Right from the beginning, Keynote sets the stage
for a compelling presentation. A clean, intuitive interface puts all the
tools you need front and center. And it’s built to harness the 64‑bit
performance of OS X El Capitan. So everything runs smoothly — no matter
how big or graphically rich.
Apple‑designed themes instantly give your presentation a polished look. Choose from over 30 eye‑catching designs.
The format panel automatically displays relevant options based on what you’ve selected. So you have the tools you need, just when you need them.
The canvas you work on is centered in your window, making it easier to handle objects outside the slide borders. It may seem like a little thing. Until you have to animate something from offscreen.
Turn on coaching tips, and help will pop up just when you need it. That’ll give you the confidence to get the presentation going.
Impressive charts
Data takes center stage.
When it comes to explaining data, a chart is worth a
thousand words. Choose from column, bar, pie, scatter, bubble charts,
and more. Use animation to add visual impact. And make your charts
interactive to focus attention on important stages of the story. The
effect is huge, but the effort isn’t.
Take your audience through your data step by step with interactive charts. Just move the slider to advance your chart through the data points. And to wow the audience.
It’s easy to style your chart. Choose types, pick textures, specify 2D or 3D, and much more. So your data has your personality.

Safari
The best way to see the sites.
The best browser for your Mac is the one that comes with your Mac. Safari is faster and more energy efficient than other browsers, so sites are more responsive and your notebook battery lasts longer between charges. Built-in privacy features help keep your browsing your business. Handy tools help you save, find, and share your favorites. And Safari works with iCloud to let you browse seamlessly across all your devices.
Longer battery life and faster performance.
With a blazing-fast JavaScript engine and energy-saving technologies, Safari is a faster, more enjoyable way to explore the web.
Browse longer. Watch more.
Safari is engineered specifically for Mac, so it takes advantage of the powerful technologies built into every one. And Safari now offers native support for Netflix. So compared with Chrome and Firefox, you can browse for up to two hours longer1 and watch Netflix videos up to four hours longer.Chrome and Firefox.
Browsing with Safari is blazing fast thanks to advanced JavaScript engine optimizations that make websites and web applications feel snappier.
Defending your online privacy and security.
Privacy and security aren’t just something
you should hope for — they’re something you should expect. That’s why
features to help protect your privacy and keep your Mac secure are built
into Safari. For example, it’s the only browser to offer DuckDuckGo — a
search engine that doesn’t track you — as a built-in option.
Private Browsing windows.
When you use Private Browsing, Safari doesn’t remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information. Each tab in a Private Browsing window is isolated from the others, so websites you view in one tab can’t see your cookies from websites in another tab. This helps prevent websites you're logged in to from tracking you as you browse.Third-party cookie blocking.
The web pages you visit often leave cookies from third-party websites. These cookies can be used to track where you go on the web, target you with ads, or create a profile of your online activities. Safari was the first browser to block these cookies by default. And by default it also prevents third-party websites from leaving data in your cache, local storage, or databases.Protection from harmful sites.
Safari helps protect you against fraudulent Internet sites and those that harbor malware — before you visit them. If a website looks suspicious, Safari prevents it from loading and warns you.Sandboxing for websites.
Sandboxing provides built-in protection against malicious code and malware by restricting what websites can do. And because Safari runs web pages in separate processes, any harmful code you come across in one page is confined to a single browser tab, so it can’t crash the whole browser or access your data.
Surf seamlessly across all your devices.
Not only does Safari come on every Mac, it comes on
every iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, too. And thanks to iCloud, your
passwords, bookmarks, history, tabs, and Reading List are always up to
date no matter which device you’re using.
Built-in tools for better browsing.
New features in Safari help you surf smarter and easily manage and share what you find.
Pinned Sites.
Keep websites you visit often — like your webmail, Facebook page, or Twitter feed — open, up to date, and easily accessible by pinning them. They’ll stay active in the background, and they’ll stay put on the left side of your tab bar.
AirPlay web video.
Play video from a web page to your TV with Apple TV — without showing everything else on your desktop. Just click the AirPlay icon that appears on compatible web videos and you can watch your video on the big screen.
Mute a tab.
Want to stop the music without hunting for the tab it’s coming from? Now you can mute it right from the Smart Search field. If you’re listening to audio in one tab and another website starts to play, you can mute the one you don’t want to hear. And if what you really want is silence, you can mute all audio from your browser, too.
Spotlight suggestions.
With Spotlight built into every Mac, you’re never far from the information you want. As you type in the Smart Search field, you’ll see Spotlight suggestions from sources like Wikipedia, news sites, Maps, iTunes, movie listings, weather, stocks, and sports.
Share menu.
Share anything you come across on the web without leaving Safari. Just click the Share button, then choose how you want to send it off. Use Mail, Messages, or AirDrop or add it to a note. Tweet or post to Facebook and even include comments and locations. A single sign-on sets up sharing to Facebook and Twitter, so you only need to log in once.
Reader.
View news stories and other articles in a layout that’s optimized for easy reading. Reader lets you focus on the text without being distracted by ads. You can customize your view by selecting your font size and style, and choose Sepia and Night themes.
An inbox full of useful features.
Mail is the simple, powerful way to manage email on
your Mac. It’s easy to set up and works with many popular email
services like iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, and Microsoft Exchange. Have
multiple accounts? No problem. Add your accounts to Mail and you’ll be
able to access all your email from one place. Use handy swipe gestures
to delete messages or mark them as unread to make quick work of your
correspondence. Or you can dig in with an enhanced full-screen view that
lets you juggle multiple messages at a time. Mail even helps you manage
your calendar and keep your contacts up to date with proactive
suggestions, right from your inbox.
Say hello to the only messaging app you need.
Love iMessage on your iPhone? You'll love it on
your Mac, too. Messages lets you send unlimited messages to anyone on a
Mac, iOS device, or Apple Watch. Your messages can include photos,
videos, documents, audio, and contacts, and you can even see when your
message has been delivered and when someone’s typing a reply. With
end-to-end encryption, your iMessage conversations stay safe and
private. And those green SMS text messages on your iPhone? They’re also
on your Mac. Because all your conversations are available across your
devices, you can start a conversation on your iPhone and pick it up on
your Mac.
Make your smile go further.
FaceTime lets you make video calls from your Mac, so you can talk, smile, and laugh with anyone on a Mac or iOS device.
Catch up, hang out, and stay in touch with just a click. Simply find
the person you want to see by typing their name, email address, or phone
number to start a FaceTime call. You can also start a FaceTime call
from Contacts, Messages, or Spotlight. When someone calls, you’ll
receive a notification that you can accept, decline, reply to via
Messages, or set a callback reminder. It works even if FaceTime isn’t
running, so you never have to worry about making yourself available.
An app you’ll appreciate day after day.
Keep track of your busy schedule and share it with
others using Calendar. Create separate calendars — one for home, another
for school, a third for work, and so on. See all your calendars in a
single window or choose to see only the calendars you want. The
inspector lets you add a location to your event, suggests locations as
you type, provides maps and weather forecasts, and automatically alerts
you when it’s time to leave. And when you use iCloud, every Calendar
change you make on your Mac automatically appears on your iOS devices
and Apple Watch. So no dinner dates are missed, no meeting goes unattended, and no anniversary is forgotten.
Perfect for little tasks. And big ones too.
The powerful new Notes app is more than a great way
to jot down a quick thought and keep track of it for later. Now you can
turn a list into a checklist in a snap. Add links, photos, map
locations, and more by clicking the Share button in apps like Safari,
Photos, and Maps. All the attachments you’ve added to your notes are
organized in one simple view: the Attachments Browser. And thanks to
iCloud, all your notes and everything in them are kept up to date across
all your devices. So you can create a note on your Mac and check it on
your iPhone when you’re out and about.
Get apps for your Mac from your Mac.
The Mac App Store lets you browse, purchase, and
install apps, widgets, and extensions on your Mac. New apps install in
one step to Launchpad. If you get a new Mac, you can quickly redownload
all the apps you own. And the Mac App Store can automatically update

Movies and TV shows purchased on any device are instantly accessible in your iTunes library on your Mac, PC, or Apple TV. Just tap to play, or even download if you’re going somewhere you won’t have Wi-Fi. If you start watching a movie and stop before the end, iCloud remembers where you left off. So you can pick up in the same spot on any of your devices. And with Family Sharing, whenever one person buys a new movie or TV show, everybody gets to watch.
Always have something good to read.
iBooks is the best way to purchase, organize, and
read books on your Mac. Download and read everything from classic novels
to the latest page-turners. Reading is easy and intuitive — turn pages
with a swipe and zoom in with a pinch. If you’re a student hitting the
books, you can keep as many open as you like. When you purchase a book
on your iOS device, it’s automatically available on your Mac. And when
you take notes or highlight passages on your Mac, iCloud pushes them to
all your devices automatically. It even remembers which page you’re on,
so you can always pick up right where you left off.
iBooks.
Find something good to read. No matter where you are.
Be well read with iBooks and all its latest features. It’s included on your iOS device with iOS 9 and on your Mac with OS X Yosemite or later. So you can fill your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, or Mac library with everything from the classics to the most recent best sellers. Whether you’re on the go or in for the evening, you’ll always have your favorites within reach.
More ways with words.
Reading on your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, or Mac is just like reading a book. But once you get started, you’ll see it’s so much more. Turn pages with a flick on your iOS device or a two-finger swipe on your Mac trackpad. Read one page at a time, or turn your iPad on its side and view two pages at once. Read everything full screen, with no distractions, or read in white-on-black nighttime mode. Alter the look of most books by changing their text size and font. And open as many books as you like when reading on a Mac.
Heard any good books lately?
Audiobooks are just the thing when you want a story read to you. In OS X, you’ll find them in iTunes. In iOS 9, you can purchase and play audiobooks right in iBooks. They’ll appear on your library shelf just like your other books. And listening to a book is every bit as intuitive as reading one thanks to an all-new interface. You can even take your books on the road by tapping the Audiobooks icon on your CarPlay touchscreen. With iBooks for iOS, you can experience a great read in more ways than one.
With Series, your library gets a little more organized.
View your books by title, author, category, or series.Or browse your entire library in All Books. If you have multiple books in a series, iBooks groups them together. Tap the series and it expands. You can see which books you already own and which ones are available next in the series. When you’re ready for the next book, you can purchase it right from your library.
iBooks and iCloud.
iCloud stores the stuff you care about — your music, photos, and contacts, for example — and makes it accessible from your iPad, iPhone, iPod touch, or Mac. iCloud even stores your books. And it doesn’t matter which device you use to buy them, because you’ll see every title you’ve purchased in your library. If you want it on your device, just tap to download it. So you can read one of your favorites on your iPhone during your morning commute, page through a few chapters of that same book on your Mac later in the day, and pick up right where you left off on your iPad at bedtime.
Auto-night theme.
If you’re reading in low light on your iPad or iPhone, iBooks for iOS automatically switches to white-on-black text on your screen. When the light improves, iBooks automatically switches back.
And the definitions.
Use your finger as a highlighter when you’re reading a book on your iOS device or Mac. Just swipe over the selected text (using the trackpad on your Mac), and it’s highlighted. Tap a highlighted section and a palette appears. Change colors, switch to underline, or add a note instantly. Then switch to the Notes view to see all your notes and highlights instantly organized in one place, making it a cinch to search or go back to the highlighted sections of your book. When you take notes or highlight passages, iCloud pushes them to all your devices automatically. And it remembers which page you’re on, so you can pick up right where you left off.
Share quotes on Facebook or Twitter.
Maybe you’re reading a hilarious take on family that’s spot on about yours. Or you come across a fact that supports the premise of your thesis. All you know is, you have to share it. With iBooks, you can share the perfect phrase directly from the page on Facebook or Twitter. You can also send a snippet via text or email.
Put PDFs in your library.
In addition to keeping all your books in one place, iBooks keeps track of your PDF files, too. User guides, business proposals, project plans — put them all in your iBooks library for easy access. When someone emails you a PDF, you can save it to iBooks. Then go to your library and tap to open it.

Experience the most amazing books you’ve ever read. These books take advantage of everything you can do on your iPad, iPhone, or Mac. They’re capable of Multi‑Touch, audio, video, and more. With Multi-Touch books, you’re no longer limited to flat images on paper. Flick or swipe through a photo gallery. Use a finger to rotate a 3D object. Watch animations spring to life. Or listen to audio commentary. You can find Multi‑Touch books — including iBooks Textbooks — in the iBooks Store. Browse categories like Food and Cooking, Arts and Entertainment, Travel, and more. Each title is like nothing you’ve ever experienced. And it’s something you won’t want to put down.
Shop iBooks.
The iBooks Store features over 2.5 million books and counting — many of them free.

Out with the old edition. In with the new.
Books — especially textbooks — get updated for any number of reasons. Thankfully, the iBooks app supports book updates. That means if a book you purchased is republished with new or additional content, iBooks lets you know. You can download the updated version free, and it automatically replaces the older copy in your library.

gorgeous views using Flyover, a photo-realistic, interactive 3D

Bring all your people together. And take them with you everywhere.
Contacts is a flexible and convenient place to
store information for everyone you know. It’s easy to import names,
numbers, addresses, and photos from Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, and even
Microsoft Exchange. Contacts will automatically keep your friends’ and
connections’ information and profile photos up to date. And iCloud
updates your contacts on your Mac, iOS devices, and Apple Watch — so
when you enter someone’s contact info once, you have it everywhere.
Set it and you won’t forget it.
You’ll never forget a task again with Reminders.
Remind yourself to call a friend on a certain date and time, or to pick
up the dry cleaning on the way home from work. You can set reminders to
repeat at any interval you want. Create a reminder from almost anywhere
in OS X from the Share menu, including a Safari web page, a contact, or
an email. And with iCloud, reminders that you set on your Mac are
available on your iOS devices and vice versa.
