I left it downloading/installing this morning, will let you have my thoughts later.
Excellent if your running a Mac 2013 or later, very good if its late 2009 to 2012.Quote:

Ok, not had much chance to play but first thoughts are that it all looks very similar to capitan. Siri is now available, but I've yet to test it out (not a big fan of Siri anyway tbh as I feel a bit of a dick talking to my phone). Pulled my hair out for a while trying to get my watch to unlock my Mac - top tip, after you've enabled it, reboot Mac, phone and watch if it doesn't work.
An app that I really like is the iCloud Drive app that stores all your documents on all of your devices.
Talk me through the iCloud Drive app TH63...Quote:

I know you could do that before by logging into the cloud, but the app makes it much easier. Start work on your Mac, the. Carry on on the train with your phone for example.Quote:

I'd be interested in posters thoughts as well. I've on a mid 2012 Mac but upgraded to 16gb ram so will wait to see what early adopters think
google drive is the same ( infact most of the cloud services are )Quote:

Makes sense for Mac users to use iCloud, but only if they only want to access / sync stuff on other Apple devices.
Otherwise OneDrive and Google Drive might work out better for Mac users as they are considerably more 'cross platform' .
I've been able to work on a document on my Mac, then access it at work from a PC and carry on with it via the iCloud for a while now. Since downloading Sierra though, as I said earlier, it automatically created an app on both my phone and iPad which contained all of my files, I'm assuming I can still access them on a PC via iCloud as before. The new app is just an easier way of working across different bits of Apple kit.Quote:

Bloody thing wiped out all my customised icons. Had to spend an hour changing them back which is fiddly for things like Finder. Why are Apple so precious about user customisation?
Are Apple only just getting this? Been doing that for several years.Quote:
