Moving from your PC to your new Mac? Consider it done. With macOS, you can move all the information from your old PC to your new Mac. Built-in Windows-to-Mac migration in macOS automatically transfers your documents, music, contacts, calendars, and email accounts (Outlook and Windows Live Mail), and puts them in the appropriate folders and applications on your new Mac.
It’s the scary season!
No, not the election season. (But, yes, also the election season.) Halloween! In addition to Halloween coming up, it’s the season when Apple is on the verge of making a big change that could impact its customers.

Boo!
Writing for the Forbes contributor network and artisanal hysteria works, Ewan Spence says “Apple’s Future Is The End For The MacBook Air.” (Tip o’ the antlers to Nick.)
Spence believes that the MacBook Air is the canary in the ARM mine where they mine the, uh, ARM chips. That’s how you get chips, right? Anyway, Tim Cook is going to drown the Air in a bath with his own hands.
As Tim Cook’s Apple heads into a brave, new ARM-powered world of macOS, it has to make a decision about legacy support and older hardware.
Spence has been hot on this effort to scare-monger Apple’s chip transition, first suggesting it would be a big boon for Microsoft and then that Apple will drop support for Intel-based Macs before people are ready. He usually neglects to mention this is not Apple’s first chip transition rodeo and the company has handled previous ones quite well.
By the way, if you’re trying to keep track of the Macalope’s chip metaphors… well, don’t. He spilled them all over the floor and he’s just picking them up at random.
Spence laments what he predicts will be the end of the MacBook Air because it will get replaced by something incredibly similar but running an ARM chip. So, it’ll get replaced by something better. Which everyone should freak out about.
Finally, it’s going to die in the long term.
Newsflash, Ewan: we all die in the long term. Also, it’s just a product name. Try not to get too attached.
Having laid the groundwork that there certainly is a big problem here with things being improved in terms of speed and battery life and reliable release schedules which is what we’ll get from Apple making its own Mac chips, Spence is ready to invent some masses who are perturbed by this so-called “progress”.
“Tim Cook’s Aggressive Approach To Force macOS Success.” (Another tip o’ the antlers to Nick.)
Questions remain on what this would mean to existing Mac owners with Intel-based hardware. Answering these would calm many existing owners…
Is there some wailing, gnashing of teeth and/or rending of garments from owners of Intel-based Macs that the Macalope is not aware of? Maybe it’s on Facebook. The Macalope’s not on there. Or maybe it’s just in the feverish minds of members of the Forbes contributor network and teacup poodle riding academy.
Back when the horny one was in business school (don’t ask) he remembers reading the following sentence in a textbook:
All decisions must be made in the face of uncertainty.
He liked that. It seemed pretty zen for a book about finance.
Every time you buy a computer, you have to do it in the face of uncertainty about whether or not a better device will be announced soon and how long it’ll be supported. Having experienced previous Apple processor transitions, however, the Macalope feels sure that current Intel-based Macs will be supported for a reasonable amount of time and that Apple will do its best to keep them compatible for as long as is reasonably possible.
It’s something to consider but it shouldn’t keep you up at night.
The Apple menu is a drop-down menu that is on the left side of the menu bar in the classic Mac OS, macOS and A/UXoperating systems. The Apple menu's role has changed throughout the history of Apple Inc.'s operating systems, but the menu has always featured a version of the Apple logo.
System 6 and earlier[edit]
In System 6.0.8 and earlier, the Apple menu featured a Control Panel, as well as Desk Accessories such as a Calculator, the Scrapbook and Alarm Clock. If MultiFinder (an early implementation of computer multitasking) was active, the Apple menu also allowed the user to switch between multiple running applications.The Macintosh user could add third-party Desk Accessories via the System Utility 'Font/DA Mover'. However, there was a limitation on the number of Desk Accessories that could be displayed in the Apple menu. Third-party shareware packages such as OtherMenu added a second customizable menu (without the trademarked Apple logo[1]) that allowed users to install Desk Accessories beyond Apple's limitations.
System 7.0–9.2.2[edit]
System 7.0 introduced the Apple Menu Items folder in the System Folder. This allowed users to place alias(es) to their favorite software and documents in the menu. The Menu Manager forced these additions into alphabetical order, which prompted users to rename their aliases with leading spaces, numbers and other characters in order to get them into the order that suited them the best. Several third-party utilities provided a level of customization of the order of the items added to the Apple menu without having to rename each item.
The Apple menu also featured a Shut Down command, implemented by a Desk Accessory. An alias to the Control Panels folder was also present. System 7.0 was also the first version to feature the rainbow striped logo, as opposed to the black logo found in previous versions. In System 7.0, the black logo was retained in grayscale modes, and was used when the Monitors control panel was set to display 'Thousands' or 'Millions' of grays, though the rest of the display was in color.
System 7.0 featured built-in multitasking, so MultiFinder was removed as an option. The feature allowing users to switch between multiple running applications as in System 6 was given its own menu (appearing as the icon of the active application) on the opposite side of the menubar. Beginning in Mac OS 8.5, this new menu was given a unique 'tear-off' capability, which detached the menu from the menu bar to become a free-floating window when the user dragged the cursor downwards off the bottom of the menu. In this case, it ran the application called 'Application Switcher'.
System 7.5 added an Apple Menu Options control panel, which added submenus to folders and disks in the Apple Menu, showing the contents of the folder or disk. Prior versions of System 7 showed only a standard menu entry that opened the folder in Finder. Apple Menu Options also added Recent Applications, Recent Documents, and Recent Servers to the Apple Menu; the user could specify the desired number of Recent Items.
macOS[edit]
macOS (previously known as Mac OS X and OS X) features a completely redesigned Apple menu. System management functions from the Special menu have been merged into it. The Apple menu was missing entirely from the Mac OS X Public Beta, replaced by a nonfunctional Apple logo in the center of the menu bar, but the menu was restored in Mac OS X 10.0. The quick file access feature implemented in System 7 was removed, although a third-party utility, Unsanity's FruitMenu, restored the Apple menu to its classic functionality until it stopped working with the advent of OS 10.6 (Snow Leopard).
