I have exported my Outlook contacts to a CSV file and now when I’m attempting to import this contact CSV, my Gmail account is throwing an annoying error saying ‘Unknown error: The file you’re importing isn’t formatted for Google Contacts’. Google is not accepting the file and I have no idea how to fix this issue. So does anyone know why this error is coming and how can I fix this?”

Apple promises to level up user productivity, and creativity with AI and allow seamless device integration as well.

This blog post contains a peek at what to expect and even some tips on how to access macOS Sequoia before everyone else.

Apple (Not Artificial) Intelligence: Core of macOS 15 Sequoia 

With its clever wordplay, the Apple marketing team made AI more real than ever. Behind the naming scheme, this AI-driven suite of features not only enhances Siri but also provides advanced content-generation tools. 

Every Mac with Apple silicon is going to have this ability. Starting from the  MacBook Air with a four-year-old M1 chip to the top-of-the-line Mac Studio. Even Intel-based Mac computers with a T2 Security Chip can check out the macOS 15 Sequoia update.

Thanks to strong software and hardware integration, every device with macOS Sequoia can perform most tasks on the device itself. Keeping Apple’s commitment to privacy intact.

Siri Gets More Serious SuperPowers

In MacOS Sequoia, Siri is smarter than ever before. With context awareness, it can understand and respond to your queries about work and play with utmost accuracy. 

It can fetch files, send emails, edit photos, and perform tasks across apps. 

All this, along with the latest information about your device’s health, can now. So you can now ask anything at any time and Siri will be able to assist. 

Writing on a Mac is not smart; it’s intelligent!

Every native Apple writing app, like Mail, Messages, and Pages, got a massive upgrade with AI. You can now get help reformulating the message, changing tone, summarizing, proofreading, and much more. All this is possible so you can post polished emails, notes and documents with much less effort.

Creative Features Inside MacOS Sequoia 

With the all-new Image Playground app, your Mac can now generate images on its own. Use the suggestions or type in fully customizable prompts to change the photos to match your style. This feature is directly integrated wherever images are used, including Messages and Notes. Personalize your memories with a variety of options, like animation, illustration, and sketching.

Boost Productivity with All New Apple Operating System 

Continuity is what Apple calls it. This iPhone mirroring option lets users control their Apple mobile from their Mac. A full 1:1 interface of your iPhone gets replicated on your Mac’s screen. Everything from app interaction to reading notifications can be done from the computer. The mouse (or trackpad) and keyboard work natively within the iPhone interface, even if it is locked. However, your Bluetooth and WiFi need to be enabled on both devices. And Mac should 

MacOS Sequoia simplifies window management with the new Tiling feature. Simply drag an active window to the edge of your screen, and your Mac will automatically suggest the best tiling position for that window. Either side by side or in the corners. 

This efficient reorganization can be done from the keyboard directly by pressing the appropriate shortcuts. 

Safari Improves Internet Browsing on Mac

Highlights and Reader apps are now built into every Safari app on the new MacOS Sequoia. Use it to get the gist of the website you are visiting. 

The Reader can summarise and add a table of contents to articles that are missing one. Thus improving the navigation and overall browsing experience on Mac.

  • Sequoia combines Metal 3 with Apple silicon, allowing for a comprehensive gaming experience never seen before on a Mac.
  • Some features, like map hiking, are only available in certain geographies, like North America. 

How to Try Mac OS 15 Before it Releases?

Even though macOS 15 Sequoia begins its official rollout in the fall of 2024, you can still get early access with some technical assistance. However, don’t forget to prepare an iCloud backup on Mac and only then try to experiment with the features before they are released in September. 

To do that, here are the steps.

  • Use your Apple ID and sign up for the Apple Developer Program.
  • After registration is complete, you can download the macOS Sequoia beta from the Apple Developer website.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to install the beta on your Mac

Moreover, you don’t have to wait until September to try out these features, as we explained how anyone can get an early look by joining the beta program.
