Now when you make changes to a note on your iPhone, it will automatically update that note on your iPad and Mac and vice versa through Apple's iCloud syncing service. Notes will be leaping from iOS, and with it, of course, comes synchronization among your devices. Notes is another application that's new to Macs but old to the world of Apple. But if all the notifications start to bother you, you can also turn them off with a toggle at the top when you scroll up. The feature will add a new icon to the top-right corner of your Mac's menu bar, which you can click to show the Notification Center, although you can also do that by swiping to the left on your track pad. Notification Center will flash you updates for Twitter, your Calendar and various other apps. Though this feature won't be helpful until iOS 6 launches, iCloud Tabs will let you check out all the tabs you have open on Safari apps across your devices, so you could take a page from Safari on the iPad and launch it on your Mac.Īfter finding success on iOS 5, Apple is bringing its Notification Center to the Mac as well. Another feature that helps with syncing is iCloud Tabs. The feature also syncs among your devices.
You can also view open tabs in an Exposé-like view similar to how tabs are displayed on the iPhone version of Safari.Īs far as playing well with your other devices, Mountain Lion's Safari comes with the Reading List feature already present on iOS that will let you read articles in the browser when you're offline.
Safari has dropped its dedicated search field in exchange for a single unified text field that you can use for search or entering URLs. Apple is supercharging its browser with more features that make it better as well as ultra-compatible with your mobile devices when iOS 6 is released later this year. If you don't use Safari as your main Web browser, Mountain Lion may change your mind. It isn't quite Siri, the voice-enabled personal assistant app for Apple iOS devices, but it's a start. From there, click on the Dictation tab and turn the feature on. Sure, you may want to do this within the confines of a private space as to avoid looking like a weirdo talking to your computer, but if you do have that luxury, you can spare yourself from carpal tunnel syndrome a little longer by speaking to your Mac, which will convert your spoken words into text.ĭictation doesn't come turned on in Mountain Lion, but you can quickly change that by going to System Preferences and clicking Dictation and Speech. Mountain Lion is bringing Dictation to the Mac, and with it comes a speedier way to produce text.
