Mavericks vs. Mountain Lion: The Basics Apple’s new Mavericks operating system provides a number of efficiency advantages to computers, allowing for quicker operating and better use of computing resources. This allows users to handle large files and programs, letting them work faster. OS X Mavericks training provided by The Training Farm can help Mavericks users learn to troubleshoot hiccups with the new operating system that may arise and get the most out of Mavericks. Mavericks is the tenth version of the OS X operating system and was released in the summer of 2013. Mountain Lion was released in 2012, replacing the Lion operating system. When Mountain Lion hit the market, the new operating system gained important features such as the Gatekeeper anti-malware system, integration with iCloud and Game Center, and an upgrade to the Safari web browser. Also, Notes and Reminders became stand-alone applications, and iChat was replaced with Messages. Like all new Apple operating systems, Mavericks provides several updates and improvements. The new operating system uses timer coalescing, which groups low-level tasks together, allowing the system to create small segments of idle time that will lower CPU usage and battery drain. The new operating system also slows down inactive apps, freeing up computing resources. Mavericks also makes more efficient use of your web browser, slowing down unwanted video and animation content that may be at the margins of users’ monitors. One feature of Mavericks that video editors are likely to enjoy is a reduction in problems with using full-screen apps on multi-monitor setups. In Mountain Lion, putting an app into full-screen mode on a multi-monitor setup would disable the other monitors. In Mavericks, apps can be set to full-screen mode without disrupting the other monitors. Also, Mavericks users can find the Dock and menu bar on all screens. One quirk of the new operating system that users may not like is that in Mavericks users will no longer be able to use applications across more than one monitor. Windows can only be used in one monitor at a time. With the right OS X Mavericks training, users of the new operating system can learn to exploit all of its new features to make video editing faster and more convenient.
