OS X El Capitan is the eleventh major release of OS X. This new release is offered as a free upgrade through the Mac App Store application found on your Apple computer. If your Apple Computer has no Mac App Store (pre-10.6.8) or is running a 32-bit graphics card or 32-bit processor (pre-2007), OS X El Capitan will not be compatible with your computer.

Some of the feature enhancements in El Capitan are as follows:

  • Find cursor: If you have a lot of windows open, busy wallpaper, or multiple monitors, then finding your cursor is not always an easy task. To find your cursor more easily, El Capitan offers the capability to magnify the cursor briefly when you wiggle it back and forth.

    If you do not need nor like this built-in feature it can be disabled through System Preferences→Accessibility→Display. Simply un-check the box marked “Shake mouse pointer to locate.”

  • Auto-hide menu bar: If screen real estate is important to you or you don’t like the look of an “always there” menu bar, you can change the way OS X behaves by setting the menu bar to auto-hide just like the dock. This option leaves a full desktop area from which to work. A great feature if you are someone easily distracted by clutter!

    To turn on Auto-hide open System Preferences–>General and check the box marked “Automatically hide and show the menu bar.”
  • Find My Friends widget: The Find My Friends app that is included in iOS is now integrated into OS X via a widget you can add to your notifications pane.

  • Split View: A feature that has been around on Windows since Windows 7, OS X finally has the capability to “snap” two windows to your screen to maximize your screen real estate and workflow.
