Mac OS X was a series of graphical operating systems developed and marketed by Apple for its Macintosh line of computers. It succeeded the 'classic' Mac OS (which dates back to the launch of the original Macintosh in 1984) and NeXTSTEP (which was developed at NeXT after Steve Jobs left Apple). It has since been superseded by macOS, starting with macOS 10.12 'Sierra'. Mac OS X used a PDF-based. It was released to the public in September 2000 as the Mac OS X Public Beta, featuring a revamped user interface called 'Aqua'. At US$29.99, it allowed adventurous Mac users to sample Apple's new operating system and provide feedback for the actual release. The initial version of Mac OS X, 10.0 'Cheetah', was released on March 24, 2001. Mac OS 8.x was very much a stop-gap version which was brought out to try and keep the Mac OS moving forward during a very trying time for the platform. 8.0 added a number of features from the stillborn Copland project, while leaving the underlying operating system unchanged. The GUI was changed in appearance to a new greyscale look, and the. Macbook 2009 os x mavericks.

License violations[edit]

  1. The first version of Mac OS X, Mac OS X Server 1.0, was a transitional product, featuring an interface resembling the classic Mac OS, though it was not compatible with software designed for the older system. Consumer releases of Mac OS X included more backward compatibility.
  2. A preview of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion was publicly shown at the 'Back to the Mac' Apple Special Event on October 20, 2010. It brought many developments made in Apple's iOS, such as an easily navigable display of installed applications, to the Mac, and includes support for the Mac App Store, as introduced in Mac OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.6. On February 24, 2011, the first developer's preview of.

According to the macOS and OS X software license agreement[1], macOS should only be installed on Apple Mac devices. Neither the editors of this book nor Wikibooks have any liability over the installation of macOS or OS X guests on VirtualBox or any other violations of the software license.

This is against the EULA of apple, doing this article IS considered piracy.

Installation script[edit]

The following installation script:

  • .is free and open-source
  • .requires only VirtualBox with its Extension Pack and dependencies that can be easily installed in a single command with most open-source package managers
  • .downloads macOS Catalina, Mojave and High Sierra directly from Apple's servers
  • .installs macOS without modifying the original Apple binaries and without third-party bootloaders
  • .creates a VM that is compatible with OpenCore and can be exported (with manual modifications) to KVM/QEMU for near-native performance
  • .runs on Linux, Windows (WSL, Cygwin), and macOS

Manual installation[edit]

This page summarizes basic usage and FAQ for the netboot Mac OS X environment on the cs network. Scan your mac online. It is relevant only for the lion version (the gray login screen) of the cs managed macs (not old or personal computers).

Besides this page, there's also a user managed mac tips page with additional tips for mac usage.

Where can I find installed applications?

Movie effects app for mac. There are two places: Applications and CS-Applications. Applications can be accessed through the Finder menu: Go -> Applications. CS-Application can be accessed through the Application directory, and by default it will be placed on the right side of the Dock.

How can I install application?

If the installation is a simple drag-and-drop (not an installer), you should be able to copy it to the local disk. If there's an installer that requires administrative privileges, you can't install it. You can ask the system to install it globally, but depending on the nature of the application and the installer, it might not get installed.

I have two different CS-Applications

There is a difference between the Snow Leopard (old) CS-Application and the new CS-Application. If you have old links, or aliases (shortcuts) to the old CS-Applications you should delete them and link to the new CS-Application, as not all the applications are compatible with lion.

How can I open word (or any other office) documents?

Microsoft office doesn't work well in our environment, in some cases it will refuse to open or save files, and sometimes it will delete existing files while trying to save them. Currently it will probably only open/save files located in the home directory. Alternatives to Microsoft Word are:

  • Pages (/Applications/iWork 09/Pages)
  • LibreOffice (/Application/CS-Applications/LibreOffice)
  • Use the Windows virtual machine (/Application/CS-Applications/CS-VMWare)

But why Microsoft Office won't even open?

There can be many reasons for that, which is why we highly recommend to use one of the alternatives (see previous question). One possibility is that the leading language is set to Hebrew which for some odd reason confuses the office setup. The solution is to change the default (first) language back to English (In System Preferences -> Language & Text -> Language), and logout and re-login for the changes to take effect.

Which browser should I use?

We officially support Firefox. Safari is also installed and can be used. Any other browsers that don't require administrative privileges (e.g. Chrome, Opera) can be installed by the users (see above).

I can't install Firefox extensions

Firefox has some issues installing some extensions e.g. it will ask to restart but won't install them. If that happens, do the following:

  • Install the extension until it requests to restart firefox.
  • Quit firefox
  • Run from the shell: install-firefox-extensions
  • Follow the instructions (note that Firefox will open for at most 3 minutes)
  • After 3 minutes, or after you've quit Firefox, let the script finish copying the files.
  • Open Firefox normally

Note that this method might not work on all extensions.

Safari can't connect to any secure site (https)

You might have played with your certificate configuration (through the Keychain Access program). Delete ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.security.revocation.plist and restart Safari.

How can I open files from the terminal?

  • To open a file from the terminal as if you double clicked on it, use: open .
  • To open a file with specific application, use: open -a
  • To open the current working direction in a Finder window: open ./
  • To go the the front-most Finder window: cd `posd`

I can't access the course account I'm TA-ing

The courses' accounts are not accessible from the macs. https://ameblo.jp/97stilgila-giuv/entry-12650502314.html. As such before su-ing to the course, one must login to a linux machine.

Matlab won't open

Sometimes previous configuration interfere with the current matlab. As such, the best solution is to delete all of matlab's previous configuration. Try deleting the following paths:

  • ~/Documents/MATLAB
  • ~/Library/Application Support/MATLAB
  • ~/Library/Application Support/StartMATLAB Settings
  • ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.mathworks.matlab.savedState
  • ~/Library/Preferences/com.mathworks.StartMATLAB.plist
  • ~/Library/Preferences/com.mathworks.matlab.plist
  • ~/.matlab/R2011a

Before deleting them, make sure you don't have any special files/scripts that you wrote (specifically in ~/Documents/MATLAB).

I can't compile mex files in matlab

History Of Mac Os

You need to change CC from gcc-4.2 to llvm-gcc-4.2. This should be changed in the maci64 section of the mexopts.sh file.
