Stacks will automatically collect files into groups based on file type, like images, presentations, PDFs and text documents. There was cheering, too, when Apple introduced Stacks. I have to confess that I take childish delight in switching between modes just to see the effect - I find it a remarkably effective way of ensuring I continue to miss important deadlines. Overall impression: Dark Mode looks great. (Touch Bar users can even create a button to keep there.) While it is easy to toggle between Light and Dark Mode in System Preferences>General, I found it even more effective to create a small Automator application to switch between these modes that I keep available in my Dock. I have to say that I really enjoy using this mode for research, editing images or exploring content, but I’m less enamoured with it when I am working in Word or Mail. I heard the applause when Apple introduced Dark Mode in Mojave at WWDC 2018. Mac Pro (Late 2013, plus mid-2010 and mid-2012 models with recommended Metal-capable graphics card).The following Macs are compatible with macOS 10.14 Mojave: Some readers may want to read my enterprise guide to upgrading to macOS Mojave here. You may see some short-term sluggishness while the OS moves into your system, this is normal and usually passes quickly - see it as the hardware/software equivalent of rearranging furniture and unpacking the boxes when you move house. Once you do upgrade, make sure to visit the App Store to upgrade your applications. IDG Before you upgradeĭon’t just rush into the upgrade always back up your system first. Take a look at 10 macOS 10.14 Mojave secrets for more of these. I’ve also provided a little help to get you started using those new features on your upgraded Mac. Not every feature made it into this review. I’ve looked at each one of the new features in a little more depth below. There’s a lot to be said for the flagship features within this OS: This is a good upgrade and (assuming no unexpected disasters), I see no reaon not to install it. It seems quite clear that Apple’s focus on making existing features work better across its platforms is an investment that benefits us all. And if something does go wrong? No worries! You have that backup.I’ve been impressed at how the OS seems so much speedier in use. In the meantime, you can read our other Mojave articles here, relaxed in the knowledge that your Mac will soon wake up clean and fresh. That delicious beverage I mentioned earlier? Now’s the time make that, because this may take a while. Then, launch it and follow along with the installation instructions. Just open up the App Store on your Mac, find Mojave, and download it just like you would any other app. With your Mac clean and backed up, you’re ready to install. Be sure to test your backup before continuing. But something like Carbon Copy Cloner is better, because you can boot straight from the backup drive if something goes wrong, and get back up and running in minutes.
