Mac Os Presentation

Mac OS is Apple's proprietary graphical operating system developed for Apple Macintosh computers. The first version was introduced in 1984 with the original Macintosh to provide an intuitive GUI. Key features of Mac OS include integration with other Apple products, reliability due to Apple's control of both hardware and software, and an easy to use design. However, disadvantages include fewer software options than Windows, inability to customize hardware, and higher prices of Mac computers. Apple has positioned Mac OS X as its future platform with a goal of it lasting 15-20 years.

What is an Operating System?

• An operating system is software that manages


computer hardware and software resources and
provides common services for computer
programs.
• The operating system is an essential component
of the system software in a computer system.
Application programs usually require an
operating system to function.
• In simple language it can be said that An OS is a
piece of software that is needed to run the
programs on a computer or a mobile device. The
programs that run on an operating system talk to
the hardware.
Mac OS
★ Mac OS is a series of graphical user interface-based operating
systems developed by Apple Inc. for their Macintosh line of
computer systems.
★ Mac OS was designed only to run on Apple Computers.
★ In 1984, Apple introduced the Macintosh PC with the
Macintosh Operating System.
★ Apple names its OS as “Mac OS”, beginning in 1997 which
was previously known as “System”.
The First Mac OS

• The first Mac was introduced by Apple’s then-


chairman Steve Jobs was the first successful
personal computer to feature a mouse and a
Graphical User Interface(GUI).
• The Mac OS could be easily distinguished from
other Operating systems because it was the
only OS with a full GUI.
• These releases could only run one program at a
time which could later run multiple programs.
ENVIRONMENT
• Supervisor Mode – allows execution of Aqua
privileged instructions and access to
privileged registers
– Swapper (PID = 0) – switches processes from Carbon Cocoa Java
main memory to secondary storage
– PageDaemon (PID = 2) – converts addresses to
support the virtual memory subsystem Quartz OpenGL QuickTime

• User Mode - The processor mode that forbids


execution of privileged instructions and Darwin
access to privileged registers. Any attempt to
do so will result in a privilege violation • Darwin
exception. – Open Source
– Init (PID = 1) – spawns processes for remote – Mach 3.0
terminals; changes run levels; can assume role of
parent for orphaned process – BSD core services

Advantages of Mac OS
➡ Easy to Use
• The Mac OS is much easier to ease than any other operating
system.
• Even people who are not familiar with it can operate it easily.
➡ Integration With Apple and Other Products
• Mac OS will automatically recognize and work with any other
Apple product, such as iPhone, Cinema Display, Airport, and iPad.
On top of this, additional drivers are rarely needed for non-Apple
products.
➡ Mac OS can run Windows at the same time
• Mac OS runs on Intel chips, which means you can run XP or Vista
• concurrently with Mac OS, with Boot Camp or Parallels software.
Advantages of Mac OS

➡ Reliability
• Because OS X was designed from scratch from the ground up,
Mac OS is incredibly stable. Apple controls production from start
to finish, so every part of a Mac is designed and tested to work
together.
➡ Design
• It’s engineered to take full advantage of what the
hardware is capable of. And it’s designed to deliver the
most intuitive and integrated computer experience in the
world.
Disadvantages of Mac OS

➡ Gaming
• If you're a computer gamer, Mac OS isn't going to do it for you.
Boot Camp and Parallels will allow you to run games natively in
Windows, but there may be a performance hit. Some games are
produced for Mac OS, but the number is very small.
➡ Price
• All that flashy secure reliable power comes at a price. Macs cost
more than machines that run other operating systems. The result
is you're paying a premium to have what is often the highest-end
hardware on the market.
Disadvantages of Mac OS

➡ Fewer Software Options


• Not all applications are yet available for Mac Unlike Windows.

➡ Cannot be upgraded/customized
• There are upgrade options when you buy a Mac, but unlike a
Windows PC, you cannot mix and match components. The easiest
way to upgrade a Mac is to buy a new one.
Mac OS X

Future Outlook

“We are betting our future on Mac OS X.” –Steve Jobs

Avie Tevanian, Chief Software Technology Officer at


Apple, explained Mac OS X was the platform of the
future: “We built Mac OS X hoping that it will last 15 to 20
years. I hope it does,” he joked. “I can’t go through this
again.”

“We our betting our 10 marks on this presentation” - we
