Switching From Windows to Mac
square button with an arrow pointing up, and pick how you want to share it.
     

     
    There are all sorts of effects for taking photos and videos. Try a few out; just click on the Effects button in the bottom right corner (NOTE: if you don’t see that button then you probably are still viewing your photos, so click the camera button to get back).
     

     
    This will bring up 45 different camera effects.
     

     
    You won’t see all 45 at once; you’ll see them 9 at a time; click arrows or the circles to see the next nine effects (NOTE: The last page of effects is for you to add your own backgrounds). When you see the effect you want, just click it.
     
    When you are back to the main screen, there are three options in the lower left corner of the box.
     
     

     
    The default box is the middle one. That takes one photo. The first one will take four different photos (one in each box), and the last will take a video of you. When using the video option, the camera will change to a video recorder.
     

     
     
    If you want to use some of the fancier effects where it puts you somewhere you aren’t (say Yosemite or the beach), then it will ask you to step out of the picture so it can detect the background; then after a few seconds you will step back in. It’s best to use a solid background for this effect. If you aren’t happy with the way it looks, then you can reset the filter by going to the Menu bar on top, then clicking View and finally clicking Reset effect.
     

     
    If you want to add your own background, then go to the last page of Effects, and drag a photo of your choice into the box. Once you see that photo appear, click on it to activate the effect.
     
    Don’t be afraid to play around with the program. There’s nothing you can press that will mess anything up!

 
    Calendar
     
    Calendar is another feature that can be synced to your iCloud account—so as long as you’re using the same account, then everything you put in your calendar from your computer will also show up on your iPhone and iPad. You can also sync the calendar to other ones you may be using online like Google or Yahoo.
     
    To get started with it, go to your Launchpad in the Dock and click on the Calendar icon.
     

     
    At the top of the application window from left to right you have the standard stoplight buttons, Calendars, New Event (+), several different views including Day and Month, and the Search bar. 
     

     
    Syncing Calendars
    If you already use a calendar with iCloud, Google, Yahoo, or any other provider, you can sync it up with the Mac Calendar application. 
     
In the top menu bar click Calendar > Add Account.
     
Like you did with Mail, you’ll be prompted to enter your name, email address, and password. 
     
    Once you finish the setup process your events from that calendar should automatically populate in the Calendar window.  If you have multiple accounts with separate calendars, you can filter through them by clicking on the Calendars button in the toolbar, and checking or unchecking the boxes next to the appropriate calendars. 
     
    Changing Views
    You can change the calendar view between Day, Week, Month, or Year by clicking on the corresponding button in the toolbar. 
     

     
    Day will display all of that day’s events, broken down by hour.
     
    Week will show you the whole week at a glance, and display blocks for events so you can easily see when you have events, and if you have any upcoming free time.
     
    The Month view will probably be your default view if you just need your calendar to remind you about bill payments and due dates, or don’t have too many appointments each month but they are scattered through the month.
Reminders
     
    As the name implies, the Reminders application is used to remind you of things—and, as you might have guessed by now, it can be synced using iCloud to the Reminders app on your iPhone or iPad.
     
    The app lets you create list for things like groceries or anything else on your
