Apple recommends that you notarize all of the software that you’ve distributed, including older releases, and even software that doesn’t meet all of these requirements or that is unsigned. Apple’s notary service uses a variety of methods, including telemetry, to determine which of the above rules to relax for preexisting software. On the far left side of the Mac OS X Lion menu bar sits a little apple symbol, which, if you click it, actually displays a menu. No matter what Mac OS application is active, the apple menu is always available in the top-left corner of your menu bar. From top to bottom, the apple menu gives you a number of options, including the following.

The Apple menu — see that multi-colored apple in the upper-left corner of your menu bar? — is fully configurable. Whatever is in the Apple Menu Items folder appears in the Apple menu. It’s that simple.

So start transforming your Apple menu from a dull repository for barely useful software to a turbocharged powerhouse that enables you to open any file in seconds. Just open your Apple Menu Items folder (it’s in your System Folder) and get ready to rock.

Before you do anything else, choose View–>by Name. Now the contents of the Apple Menu Items folder reflect the order in which they appear in the Apple menu.

Doing the right thing with your desk accessories

Most desk accessories are pretty lame and you probably won’t use them very often. You can rearrange your Apple menu so that desk accessories don’t take up so much space but you can still open them quickly. Here’s how:

1. Double-click to open the System Folder.

2. Open the Apple Menu Items folder and create a new folder inside it by choosing File–>New Folder.

3. Name the new folder Desk Accessories.

4. Select all the icons in the window except for the folders (see Figure 1).

You have two ways to do this: the easy way and the hard way. Easy way first: Press Command+A (or drag a selection box around the entire contents of the window) to select all the icons; then hold down the Shift key and click each folder. Hard way: Click Apple System Profiler, hold down the Shift key, click AppleCD Audio Player, hold down the Shift key, click Calculator, hold down Shift key, and so on until all the nonfolder icons are selected.

This step illustrates one of the Finder’s finer points. You can select multiple items or deselect individual items from a selected group by holding down the Shift key and clicking the item.

5. Drag these icons onto the Desk Accessories folder that you created in Step 2.

Like other tools listed here, Nimbus Capture also offers. Also, you get a special markup tools like number stamps which can be useful for tech support tutorials or other things.After editing the screenshots, you can print them or save to your clipboard, drive, or cloud storage for easy sharing.A desktop version is available that offers screencasting for video recording based on the desired section of your screen, which you can access from your iOS device or the web. Best free screenshot software for mac. Nimbus Capture: ScreenshotNimbus Capture is a free, browser-based screenshot tool you can use on or Firefox, but also as an application for Windows and Mac.It can capture fullscreen, an entire webpage, or selected region depending on what you want.

After you release the mouse button, all the desk accessories, applications, and aliases that aren’t folders move into the Desk Accessories folder.

6. Pull down your Apple menu and revel in your handiwork.

The menu should now look like the one in Figure 2.

Putting your stuff into the Apple menu

That last trick was pretty easy, wasn’t it? Try one more thing before you move on. Why not add your favorite applications — the programs you use most often — to the Apple menu? Here’s how:

1. Find a favorite application on your hard disk, select it, and make an alias of it.

Then you can manage and transfer all of your photos and much more with iMazing, which lets you easily copy your data (like music and photos) and transfer it to any of your other Apple devices.If you’ve ever transferred data between devices, you know the underlying fear that something will get lost along the way. The included Aurora HDR app turns ordinary photos into stunning HDR pieces from your device, allowing you to then upload to social media with just a click. Wake up light app machine.

To make an alias, choose File–>Make Alias or press Command+M.

2. Move the alias to the Apple Menu Items folder.

3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for any additional applications that you want to appear in your Apple menu.

Spaces^[1] was a virtual desktop feature of Mac OS X, introduced in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. It was announced by Steve Jobs during the opening keynote at the Worldwide Developers Conference on August 7, 2006. As of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, it has been incorporated into Mission Control.

Overview[edit]

Spaces enables users to create multiple virtual desktops suited to the unique needs or work habits of the user. A user could, for example, create and assign a 'space' to office work, enabling him or her to leave a work-related application (such as a word processor or a spreadsheet) running full screen and then switch to a different space designated for browsing the Internet or navigating file structure in Finder windows. Up to 16 spaces can be created, and applications can be bound to specific spaces. There are various ways to navigate between spaces, including user-configured, function-key combinations, hot corners (via Exposé), or by dragging windows and applications — in the direction of the desired space — to the corresponding edge of the screen and holding for a moment until the space switches. The Dashboard functions as a separate space, on the left of the other spaces by default.

Use[edit]

In Mac OS X 10.5 LeopardSystem Preferences, a checkbox labeled 'Enable Spaces' must first be checked in the 'Exposé & Spaces' preferences, under the 'Spaces' tab. Then, as many as 16 spaces can be created by adding rows or columns. Application assignments may be added and bound to specific spaces listed, by their corresponding numbers, in the right-hand column. When an assigned application is launched, it will open on the designated space and remain in that location unless it is moved manually to another space.

There are a few settings for activating and switching between spaces. A checkbox at the bottom of the panel allows switching spaces automatically when switching between applications bound to spaces. This is achieved either by clicking on application icons in the dock, or by pressing ⌘ (Command) + Tab, and Spaces will jump directly to the space that the chosen application has been assigned to. A limitation of Spaces lies in the fact that some applications featuring tool palettes and/or multiple open document windows (such as Adobe Creative Suite or Microsoft Office applications) cannot be consistently bound to a specific (numbered) space. In such cases, the 'switching' function responds to the most recently active document, regardless of which space it has been opened upon, so it is usually more efficient to avoid assigning such applications to a specific space and to run them unassigned, opening documents in the desired space.

Function-key combinations can also be configured to activate the full-screen Spaces grid view, switch between spaces directionally, or switch directly to a specific space by number. A function allows applications or windows to be moved into (or through) adjacent spaces by dragging and holding the window (or document) at the edge of the screen. During a transition to a new space, a small, translucent image representing the Spaces grid configuration will be shown in the center of the screen for a few seconds, with arrows representing the movement, and the active space highlighted.

When viewing the full-screen grid, spaces themselves may be re-arranged by dragging and dropping (requires clicking on the blue 'desktop' area, instead of on a window within it). This does not change the application assignments, but is equivalent to manually moving a window or document to a new space. The application will retain its assignment and when launched at a later date, will run on the originally assigned space.

Spaces also works effectively with Exposé, another Mac OS X feature, where you can designate a 'hot corner' to activate the full-screen feature of Spaces, showing a 'zoomed-out' grid of scaled-down thumbnails for each space. Also, when the Spaces grid has been activated, Exposé may be additionally deployed to reveal the active windows or documents on each space.

Comparison[edit]

Although Spaces was a new feature for Mac OS 10.5, virtual desktops existed for quite some time on other platforms, such as Linux, Solaris, AIX and BeOS. Virtual desktops also existed for Windows^[2] and for the Mac OS via third party software.,^[3] and it has been a standard feature on Linuxdesktops for a number of years.^[4] The first platform to implement multiple desktop display as a hardware feature was the Amiga 1000, released in 1985.^[5] Virtual Desktops were finally added to the Windows platform with Windows 10 in 2015.
