To turn off the feature if you find it annoying instead of helpful, go to System Preferences > Accessibility, and then click on Display. Of course, it also works on trackpads by running a finger back and forth quickly. I have a 27-inch iMac and often hook a 19-inch display to the side of it for a dual display setup, and in the few days that I’ve had El Capitan installed on the iMac I have found “shake to find” to be a lifesaver. It’s part of the accessibility settings in OS X El Capitan, and this action is enabled by default. Well, that same gesture can now cause your mouse pointer to grow to very visible proportions. Since 1984, I’ve watched countless people - even on the original 128K Mac - shake the mouse from side to side not only to find the pointer but also to express frustration if some action was going too slowly for their liking. The larger the screen, the harder it is to find your mouse pointer… that little arrow that spends its career moving about on your Mac display, showing where you’re about to click. The remaining functions that you remember - First Aid, Partition, Erase, Unmount, and Info - are all available from a row of buttons at the top of the interface. No more will you need to run the repairs manually - it’s done for you. Instead, El Capitan automatically repairs file permissions while software is being updated or changed. However, look for Verify and Repair Disk Permissions and you’ll find that those two commands are gone.ĭon’t be too concerned with the loss of those commands. A colorful strip chart shows exactly how much of that disk’s space is taken up by various types of files and how much space is available. Instead, Disk Utility now sports a streamlined new look that begins with a look at how your startup drive is faring. Gone is the somewhat convoluted user interface. If you try that on OS X El Capitan, you’re going to be in for a big surprise as Disk Utility has changed a lot. Long-time Mac owners know that when things get “a little weird” on their Macs, one of the first things they’ll want to do is jump over to the Utilities folder (Finder > Go > Utilities), launch Disk Utility, and then repair disk permissions. Oh… and we’ve also gathered some other things to try out in El Capitan in this article. Once your Mac is chugging along on El Capitan, here are five new things you can try out in the new operating system for this week’s Friday Five. For those of you who haven’t, take a peek at this Rocket Yard tip on how to go about doing so.
By now you’ve hopefully joined the millions of other Mac users who have successfully updated their Macs to OS X El Capitan.
