Apple OS X Mavericks

iBooks

OS X Mavericks begins a new chapter in the iBooks story. Now the books you’ve already downloaded on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch will automatically appear in iBooks on your Mac. And there are over 1.8 million more in the iBooks Store, ready for you to download with just a few clicks. 

iBooks Store: From current best sellers to classic literature to textbooks, it’s easy to find what you’re looking for at the iBooks Store. You can browse by title, author, or genre. And click to see details, check out reviews, or read a free sample.

iBooks in iCloud: When you buy a book on your Mac, iCloud automatically pushes it to all your iOS devices. If you’re reading a book on your iPad and you highlight text or take notes, it’s all there when you continue reading on your Mac or iPhone. iCloud even remembers which page you’re on.

Studying with iBooks: The interactive diagrams, photos, and videos in iBooks textbooks come alive with gestures on your Multi-Touch trackpad. Your notes and highlights are displayed in the Notes panel.

Multiple Books: You can keep as many books open as you like — perfect for studying or doing research when you might want to view two books side by side.

Maps

Now you’ve got the whole world on your desktop. The Maps app lets you use every pixel of your display to explore new destinations, and it takes full advantage of the graphics power of your Mac. So zooming is incredibly smooth and responsive. Text and details are crisp and easy to read. And you get gorgeous views such as Flyover, a photo-realistic, interactive 3D experience that lets you soar high above select cities. 

Flyover: Get a whole new perspective with stunning, photo-realistic 3D views as you use intuitive Multi-Touch gestures to soar over select major cities and their landmarks.

Local Search: Click a pin or a point of interest on the map to get the complete address, phone number, website link, photos — even Yelp reviews.

Send to iOS: Plan a trip on your Mac and send the map directly to your iPhone, where Maps can give you turn-by-turn voice navigation as you go.

Calender

Calendar is streamlined with a fresh new look and powerful features to go with it. Continuous scrolling lets the weeks and months flow by smoothly, so you can look at the last half of one month and the first half of the next one. A new event inspector makes it even simpler to create and edit events by suggesting addresses and points of interest when you start typing in the location field. It shows your event’s location on a map, calculates travel time, and displays a weather forecast. So you can quickly see where to go, how long it takes to get there, and whether you’ll need an umbrella.

Safari

Safari in OS X Mavericks delivers blazing performance and introduces breakthrough technologies. Innovative new features make it simple to return to sites you visit often — and discover new sites as well. Shared Links in the new Sidebar shows links posted by people you follow on Twitter and LinkedIn, so you can keep up with interesting new content.

Top Sites: It’s easier than ever to organize your favorite websites in Top Sites. Now you can add sites from your bookmarks and rearrange the thumbnails by dragging them wherever you want.

Sidebar: The new Safari Sidebar lets you see your bookmarks, Reading List, or Shared Links alongside the page you’re currently on. You can also add pages to your Reading List with one click.

Shared Links: Shared Links is the newest place to see what’s up on the web, showing you links from people you follow. You can scroll seamlessly from one story to the next, no clicking required. So they're quick and easy to read.

iCloud Keychain

Remembering your passwords can be a real pain. But now iCloud Keychain remembers them for you. It stores your website user names and passwords on the devices you’ve approved, protects them with robust AES 256-bit encryption, and keeps them up to date on each device. 

Password Generator: Whenever you need to come up with a new password for a website, Password Generator suggests a unique, hard-to-guess password and saves it to your iCloud Keychain. It’s filled in automatically — you won’t have to remember it or type it.

Credit Card Entry: Now you can speed up checkouts. Your credit card information is saved to iCloud Keychain and is available whenever and wherever you need it — on all your devices.

All Your Devices: Your passwords are stored only on your Mac and devices you approve, where they’re updated automatically. And they’re protected with robust AES 256-bit encryption, whether on your devices or in transit.

Multiple Displays

OS X Mavericks takes full advantage of every display connected to your Mac, giving you even more flexibility to work the way you want. There’s no longer a primary or secondary display.

Menu Bars and Docks: Each display has its own menu bar, and the Dock is available wherever you need it — 

no configuration required.

Full Screen App: Now you can run an app full screen on each display.

Mission Control: Enter Mission Control to get an overview of what’s running on each display, and simply drag app thumbnails between them to customize your view.

AirPlay Display: With AirPlay and Apple TV, your HDTV works as a fully functional display. So while you’re using your TV to present a slideshow or stream a video lecture, you can take notes on your Mac or chat using Messages.

Notifications

Notifications let you see what’s up — and now they let you get things done, all without leaving the app you’re in. Your Mac stays up to date while you’re away, so when you return you’ll see a summary of the notifications you received.

Interactive Notifications: Now when you receive an email, message, or FaceTime call, you can respond without having to leave the app you’re in.

Updates From Websites: Now when you choose to receive updates from a website, your breaking news, sports scores, auction alerts, and more appear as notifications — even when Safari isn’t running.

Finder Tabs

Finder Tabs help you declutter your desktop by consolidating multiple Finder windows into one. You could keep a tab for Documents, one for AirDrop, and one for Back to My Mac, all in a single Finder window. You can switch between tabs, customize views, and reorder them however you like. To move a file from tab to tab, just drag and drop. And now you can even expand a Finder window to full screen and effortlessly move files wherever you want.

Tags

Tags are a powerful new way to organize and find your files, even documents stored in iCloud. Simply tag files you want to organize together with a keyword, like “Important.” Then when you want to find those files, just click Important in the Finder sidebar or enter it in the search field. Tag a file once, or give it multiple tags to assign it to multiple projects. If you have documents stored in multiple iCloud libraries, tags let you group them together into projects. So if you’re planning an event, you could tag the guest list you saved in Numbers, the flyer you designed in Pages, and the presentation you created in Keynote, and see them all with just one click — organized as a single project in a single Finder window.

That's all the new features of the Apple OS X Mavericks but wait there is more and you can find in right here.
