This latest iTunes update may also include safeguards to protect users from the alleged bug that has caused some users of iTunes and Apple Music is lose their entire music libraries.

Released seven months after the last iTunes update, 12.4 includes a redesigned interface that's intended to be simpler to navigate and reintroduces the much-called-for sidebar. Released alongside this new OS X update is iTunes 12.4.

They include fixing an issue where applying a configuration profile to set allow SpotlightInternetResults' to False' would cause Spotlight to use large amounts of CPU time, an issue where applying a configuration profile to set ShutDownDisabledWhileLoggedIn' to True' would have no effect and an issue where only a single NetBoot image would appear in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences, even if multiple NetBoot images were configured on the server. Notes now supports everything that iOS 9 Notes can do, but only allows you to view sketches, not make them.Improvements in OS X 10.11.5 are mostly performance revisions. Photos supports extensions as it does on iOS, allowing such apps as Pixelmator to put part of their toolset right in the image-editing window of Apple Photos. A new mute button also exists in the address bar to kill annoying background audio from videos or ads.ДЄpple Maps now shows public transport directions. SafariвЂ™s now got pinned tabs, which shrink into the left-hand side and persist, which makes web apps such as Twitter a bit more permanent.

The same swiping gestures to archive or mark email as read from iOS also work on a touchpad too, although I found moving through mail with keyboard shortcuts easier. Full-screen Mac Mail is now easier to use with compose windows that minimise to the bottom of the screen and stack in tabbed windows. Most of AppleвЂ™s built-in apps for OS X have also been tweaked here and there.

Laptop users might find a use for it if theyвЂ™re already using full screen apps. ItвЂ™s still easy to lose things in multiple spaces, and users with desktops or more than one screen are likely to ignore Split View.

Windows 8 or 10, or iPad Air 2 users with iOS 9, will be familiar with Split View. ItвЂ™s nothing you canвЂ™t already do manually or with third-party programs such as Moom, but it hides menus and other unnecessary program features to fill the screen with more of the text or work youвЂ™re trying to get done. Drag a window to the top of the screen or hold down the green вЂњmaximiseвЂќ button to organise the windows and drag them on to a new space or on top of a pre-existing one to get going. Spotlight search can now be moved and enlarged and responds to natural language searches such as вЂњfiles I worked on in MarchвЂќ or вЂњemail I sent to Alex about adblockingвЂќ вЂ“ which sounds great, but in practice just skips out a bit of syntax such as вЂњsubject: adblockingвЂќ.Д®l Capitan improves full-screen window management with Split View, taken straight from iOS, allowing two apps to fill one screen with a resizing line down the middle just like Windows 8. Shake the cursor and it enlarges so you can see it more easily if itвЂ™s lost on screen. Photograph: Samuel Gibbs/The GuardianД«eyond speed, a few small elements have been improved. Typing out natural language feels a little strange, but mostly does what it is meant to and makes finding files or emails a little easier.

ItвЂ™s the first version of any of AppleвЂ™s software I have installed that has actually sped up the machine. Those that can and will interact with Metal directly вЂ“ programs such as Adobe Photoshop or Premier, or games вЂ“ will see an even greater boost. Apps that use AppleвЂ™s core graphics system will benefit without having to do anything.

Metal replaces OpenGL and speeds things up. Part of that performance boost is the introduction of AppleвЂ™s Metal graphics system, which was first introduced with iOS 8. Photograph: Samuel Gibbs/The GuardianДЄpple claims that speed has improved between 1.4 and four times the performance of OS X Yosemite, depending on the task, and in my testing I would say that the figure is about right. Apple Maps gains public transport directions, mirroring iOS 9.
