Macintosh:
Apples iPhone Operating System previously known as the iPhone Operating System. Now a day it is known as Macintosh operating system .it has come a long way 6 and a half years in the making for 6 generations of iPhones, together with multiple generations of iPods, and iPods. If youre someone who started out with an iPhone 4 and not know what came before that, then take a trip with us down memory lane to check out the Operating System . The Birth Of The iPhone 2007

history of Apples iOS and the features that were introduced in previous WWDC events. iPhone Operating System1: app Store 2008 iPhone Operating System2: iphone Enhancements 2009 iPhone Operating System3: Multitasking, Retina & FaceTime 2010
Recent users probably cannot fathom the idea that iOS could not multitask apps at a point in time. Lucky for them, iOS 4 was when the multitasking bar was born. With this multitasking feature, apps could work in the background allowing users to switch between apps faster, with its previously saved state intact. Other music apps other than the native music app could also work in the background too. Apple also introduced app folders, custom wallpapers to replace the black background for the homescreen, FaceTime and Retina support for the iPhone 4. Moving from the iPhone 3GS screen to Retina was a big deal as developers had to make apps look good on high-resolution screens. They also introduced a unified Inbox on the native Mail app for users with multiple email accounts, a less cluttered Inbox with threaded emails, the ability to search text on the Messages app and geotagging photos. WiFi tethering or Personal Hotspot as we now know was also included in later updates of iOS 4. That together with Game Center, AirPrint and AirPlay were released in the first quarter of 2011.

iPhone Operating System 5: Notification Center, Siri & More 2011

iOS 5 was the most impressive update Apple came out with in 2011. The iPhone 4 was already a big hit with its Retina display, that together with the features of iOS 5 blew away any competition. Apple marketed Siri as an iPhone 4S feature.

It was (still) a big hit, bringing voice assistance and information to your fingertips instantly, with voice Remember when notifications used to be a mini window right in your face? Well, Apple also released the Notification Center and the sleek notification bar, giving you the choice to interact with the notification while using an app. The lockscreen also saw improvements with lockscreen notifications where you can quickly swipe the app icon to open the app, and launch the camera app from the lockscreen, like you can do now. nition. iCloud was also released, making backups and setting up new iOS devices easy.

iPhone Operating System 5: Apple Maps & Passbook 2012

Before iOS 7 is released to users, this is the OS where most of us are right now. iOS 6 was where we saw the release of Apples own Maps app with turn-by-turn voice navigation. As they tried to step out from shadow, they removed the native Maps and YouTube app found in previous versions of iOS. However, Apples Maps failed on them and many looked was re-released on the App Store

Mac Systems: By Capability: Maximum Supported Version of Mac OS X

The maximum version of Mac OS X supported by each G3 and later Mac is below. For complete specs on a particular system, click on the name of the Mac (left column). For all Macs that are

compatible with a specifc maximum supported version of Mac OS X -- courtesy of EveryMac.com's Ultimate Mac Sort -- click the OS of interest (right column). Systems with "Current" support the latest version of OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion." Note that systems marked "Current*" (Current and an asterisk) also are capable of running OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" but with limitations. Systems with other OS versions listed and an asterisk are capable of running the version of the operating system (but no higher) and with limitations. See the specs page for a particular model for details. The first personal computer version of DOS, called PC-DOS, was developed for IBM by Bill Gates and his new Microsoft Corporation. He retained the rights to market a Microsoft version, called MS-DOS. PC-DOS and MS-DOS are almost identical and most users have referred to either of them as just "DOS." DOS was (and still is) a non-graphical line-oriented command- or menudriven operating system, with a relatively simple interface but not overly "friendly" user interface. The first Microsoft Windows operating system was really an application that ran on top of the MS-DOS operating system. Today, Windows operating systems continue to support DOS (or a DOS-like user interface) for special purposes by emulating the operating system. In the 1970s before the personal computer was invented, IBM had a different and unrelated DOS (Disk Operating System) that ran on smaller business computers.
