![]() Once you're on a call and another call comes, you'll get a notification about the new call, along with an option to put your current call on hold to answer it hang up and answer the new call or add the person to a conference call with you on the other call. When you receive a phone call on your iPhone, you'll be able to get caller ID and answer the call on your Mac as long as both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network. Screenshot by Jason Parker/CNETĪs I mentioned above, Continuity extends to your iPhone's calls and messages as well. With Continuity, an incoming call on your iPhone will show up on your Mac where you can answer it on speakerphone. Similarly, you could be working on a chart in Numbers on your Mac, then switch to your iPad, pull up from the notification in the lower left of the screen, and continue working on the chart on your iPad. Your Mac automatically knows you were writing the email on a nearby device, and displays a notification in the lower left hand corner that lets you open the email straight away and continue writing from where you left off. With handoff, you can start writing an email on your iPad and then switch over to your Mac. Watch a quick video to see Spotlight in action Continuity features and HandoffĬontinuity features let you start work on one device then "handoff" to another and it lets you make calls directly from your Mac. ![]() What's more, when searching for a restaurant, Spotlight will display a map, address and phone number, plus you'll be able to use Yosemite's Handoff to call the number straight from your Mac. A similar search on Google will get you much of the same information, but I have to admit it's pretty easy to hit command-spacebar and type in a location for a quick list of results. In Yosemite, searching for Golden Gate Bridge gives you location-based results in Maps, news stories about the bridge, the associated Wikipedia entry, and any references to the bridge in your connected email accounts. Obviously performing a spotlight search for Golden Gate Bridge in Mavericks is not ideal because it only searches the hard drive, but it illustrates why Yosemite is so much more convenient. At the bottom of the search box there are options to search the Web or Wikipedia for Golden Gate Bridge, which opens Safari to load the results. Screenshot by Jason Parker/CNETĪs an example, searching for "Golden Gate Bridge" in Mavericks returns results in the upper right part of the screen from my connected email account and any other files or apps with that name on my hard drive. None of this however helps you at this stage, I'm afraid.When you search for a restaurant in Spotlight, you'll get photos, the phone number, the address and you can get directions through Apple Maps. ![]() Under these circumstances if Apple are happy for you to have iMovie on your Yosemite /El Capitan Mac then why don't they allow you to have it anyway? This is because your second Mac( OS 10.13.6 or later) would place iMovie onto your Purchased page and enable you to downloadĪ compatible version of iMovie onto your Yosemite Mac. The thing is that if you had a second Mac with OS 10.13.6 or later ( High Sierra or Mojave) and you had iMovie on that, then you would be able to get a compatible version of iMovie for your Mac running Yosemite ( or El Capitan if you upgraded to that). ![]() ![]() Those upgrading to Yosemite or El Capitan, as probably in your case, after they were superseded have unfortunately missed the boat. It is a shame that Apple do not allow users, who can only upgrade as far as El Capitan, to download the compatible version of iMovie.You had to download iMovie whilst Yosemite /El Capitan was the current OS. but that still would not allow you to get iMovie. Your Mac could probably be upgraded to run El Capitan. ![]()
