We hope you’ve been enjoying the public beta release of mac-OS Sierra

(already on its fourth update by the time we went to press), and even if you haven’t we show what you’ve been missing in this issue.

We guide you through all the big changes and show you exactly how they work in Sierra to date (expect things to have changed a little by the final release in September). If you like a lot of what Sierra has to offer but want to stick with El Capitan for a while, we’ve looked at some brilliant add-ons you can get for your current OS that’ll go someway to replicating what the brand-new mac-OS can do. As excited as we get about a new OS, we must always

remember to back up. But even then disaster can strike, and if you’ve ever had a drive that’s packed up and want to know exactly the right way to retrieve your data, this month’s project will get you on the right track.

If you’ve ever mourned the death of Apple’s i-Web and want to get started in web design on your Mac, we’ve often recommended Rapid-Weaver over the years. Well, now’s your chance to get a free copy with this issue – just head over to page 19 for details.
