What is Yosemite OS?

Yosemite OS X is the 11th release of Mac OS X (now known as OS X) lineup of operating systems. The 10.10 version released and announced on 2 June 2014 by Apple Inc. at WWDC. The name Yosemite represents a national park in California. Apple adapted California Landmarks naming scheme by introducing Mavericks OS X on 10th June 2013.

The update of this OS emphasized on battery life, continued iCloud integration, Finder improvements and other improvements for users. Macintosh computers running Mountain Lion OS V10.8.x can also run Yosemite OS since they both have the same system requirements.

Some older models of Mac computers are compatible with Yosemite OS X, the list includes: MacBook Air 2008, Mac Mini 2009, Xserve 2009, MacBook Pro mid-2009 and iMac 2007.  Models that support Yosemite new features without exceptions includes: iMac 2012, Mac Mini 2012, Mac Pro 2013, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air 2012.
