MACOS SIERRA OVERVIEW

Mac OS Sierra features many new capabilities for Apple devices, and its public
release date was September 20, 2016, from Apple. 

It comes with apps such as Siri and iCloud Drive, as well as additional features
and enhancements over earlier versions of the operating system. 

Mac OS X Sierra is easy to use and is very familiar to Mac OS users. It adds
voice commands via Siri, as well as cloud storage and enhanced space management 

There are no major problems with Mac OS Sierra, and the requirements for this
release are minimal. 

It needs 2GB of RAM and 8GB of storage to run properly. Compatibility starts
with late 2009 Macs and mid-2010 MacBooks. 


KNOWN ISSUES

There are some Mac OS Sierra problems and known issues, but these are minor. 

Examples of these small issues include the unreliability of the Auto Unlock
feature and some Siri glitches. 

These were addressed with later releases of Mac OS and are no longer a problem.
You can install Mac OS Sierra from MacUpdate if you would like to try it out or
reinstall it.

Download Mac OS Sierra and access its features:

 * Siri: This intelligent assistant was first featured on the desktop versions
   of the Mac OS in this release and brought with it a whole host of voice
   commands and capabilities that were previously limited to iOS devices.
 * iCloud Drive: This feature enabled Mac OS users to unify their documents and
   data across all of their Apple-compatible products, allowing for better
   access and control. 
 * Optimized Storage: The cloud storage capabilities introduced in this release
   included automatic local storage clean up, which would remove local copies of
   data that had already been committed to the cloud.
 * Auto Unlock: This feature allows users to unlock their user account by
   presenting a paired Apple Watch close to their system but requires a Mac from
   at least 2013 for compatibility.
 * Universal Clipboard: This allows for clipboard data that is copied and pasted
   to be shared between iOS and Mac OS devices. This includes text, photos and
   video files.
 * Tabs: This release saw the introduction of tabs within the operating system
   of Mac OS. This allows for a better navigational experience, similar to what
   people are accustomed to with multiple tabs in Safari and other internet
   browsers.
 * Picture-in-Picture: If you are watching a video then it will remain in a
   window that follows your main view while you are navigating through the
   operating system.
