...components to a system that allows you to get the best use of your computer. Common daily uses of mail, iCal and contacts are interchangeable between your Mac and PC. The compatibility of the Mac allows you to open most files from software that a PC uses. There are a number of input devices that can be useful to enhance your technology. The use of trackballs, multiple mouse options to suit the needs of the user, and scanners that will allow you to digitally store forms and paperwork. Sending these to different departments for their use decreases the need for paper and reduces storage room for paper files. Planning for the storage of these files is important. A structure for backing up information or data is a must and can benefit for a quick reference no matter the date of the file. Organizing the process is critical at the start of the implementation. Having multiple ways to store information from a simple jump drive, to complete system back up storage in the need of systems failures. Maintaining a regular process of backing up information or having a default system to automatically back up critical data is a safe, onsite way to returning to normal operations in a short matter of time. Using cloud storage of information can be another option...

...M. Bishop AIU Online 09/18/2013 Abstract The Future of virtualization and cloud computing is here. More and More companies are realizing the benefits of this technology and eager to take advantage. Not only does this technology save time and money, but also allows the use of all the variable operating systems available without purchasing new computer system(s). Virtualization Virtualization is the ability to run multiple operating systems on one computer system, the virtual software acts as a go between for the main computer’s OS and the virtual OS(s). The primary computer‘s central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), hard disk drive (HDD), network, peripherals, etc. is accessible by the virtual system. Virtual Software Recommendation One would suggest VirtualBox due to its efficient installation, simplicity in understanding, together with the user-friendliness. VirtualBox can run on Windows, Mac OS X, and Solaris as well as Linux. The correct software name “Oracle VM VirtualBox” and is available for download at http://www.oracle.com/us/technologies/virtualization/virtualbox/overview/index.html. This product can be downloaded free for home users, and for enterprise users the cost is $50 per named user. Oracle VirtualBox not only boast so many phenomenal features but the high performance has for enterprise users leaves nothing to be desired. Planning for space needed for the operating system, memory, and hard drive space for each VMs is crucial...

...Introduction The most commonly known Operating Systems (OS) today are UNIX, Linux, MacOS, and Windows. These operating systems all behave in their own way and similar in others. This paper will discuss this comparison of how these operating systems utilize memory, process handling, file management, and security. Memory Management Each operating system is required to allocate a certain amount of memory for the operating system itself for the processes that are being used or executed. There are two places memory exists: physically on the motherboard of the computer and within the operating system itself. When the operating system dynamically divides the memory usage between these two areas, this is called memory management. Each operating system manages memory different from the others; however they all follow some basic rules of memory management. All of the operating system’s memory management in general follows these requirements: relocation, protection, sharing, logical organization, and physical organization (Stallings, 2015). Relocation of memory is the process that allows the operating system to move a process or file from physical memory to virtual memory and back again, depending on the need for that data. Virtual memory exists within the operating system which uses the hard drive to store temporary information and physical memory is located on the motherboard of the computer. While the process is in memory, protection of that area needs to be enabled to...

...featured an English language-based scripting language called Hyper Talk, which HyperCard programmers used to embed logic and behavior within a HyperCard stack. A HyperCard stack, by the way, was very much like a collection of Web pages, except that it all ran as part of a desktop application. You could create links and program buttons to perform certain actions. In many ways, HyperCard was an important forerunner of all the hypermedia projects and tools that followed, including CD-ROMs and the Web. In fact, the only thing that kept HyperCard from becoming the first Web browser was its focus on local stacks of cards, as opposed to network-oriented stacks. About AppleScript AppleScript is a scripting language that provides direct control of scriptable applications and scriptable parts of the Mac OS. A scriptable application is one that can respond to a variety of Apple events by performing operations or supplying data. An Apple event is a type of inter process message that can encapsulate commands and data of arbitrary complexity. By providing an API that supports these mechanisms, the “Open Scripting Architecture” makes possible one of the most powerful features in OS X the ability to write scripts that automate operations with multiple applications. AppleScript scripts can be used to perform repetitive tasks, automate complex workflows, control applications on local or remote computers, and access web services. Because script writers can access features in any scriptable application...

... Department] ABSTRACT iOS is Apple's mobile operating system developed originally for the iPhone, and later deployed on the iPod Touch and iPad as well. It is derived from Mac OS X, with which it shares the Darwin foundation, and is therefore a Unix-like operating system, by nature. In iOS, there are four abstraction layers: the Core OS layer, the Core Services layer, the Media layer, and the Cocoa Touch layer. The operating system uses roughly 500 megabytes of the device's storage. Version 4, announced in April 2010, introduced multitasking as well as several business-oriented features, including encryption for email and attachments. At the WWDC 2010 keynote on June 7, 2010, Apple announced that iPhone OS had been renamed iOS. Apple licenses the trademark for "iOS" from Cisco Systems (who own IOS), the same company with which Apple had earlier settled a dispute over the "iPhone" trademark. iOS 4 was released on June 21, 2010, three days before the iPhone 4. Staggering product launches reduces strain on Apple's servers. iOS 4 is the first version of the OS to be a free upgrade on the iPod touch; Apple had charged $9.99 for earlier upgrades. Apple previously announced that iPad users with 3.x software would receive a free upgrade to the next major (4.x) release. New features...

...Operating system : An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is an essential component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an operating system to function. Time-sharing operating systems schedule tasks for efficient use of the system and may also include accounting software for cost allocation of processor time, mass storage, printing, and other resources. For hardware functions such as input and output and memory allocation, the operating system acts as an intermediary between programs and the computer hardware, although the application code is usually executed directly by the hardware and will frequently make a system call to an OS function or be interrupted by it. Operating systems can be found on almost any device that contains a computer—from cellular phones and video game consoles to supercomputers and web servers. Examples of popular modern operating systems include Android, BSD, iOS, Linux, OS X, QNX, Microsoft Windows, Windows Phone, and IBM z/OS. All these, except Windows, Windows Phone and z/OS, share roots in UNIX. Smartphone A Smartphone, or smart phone, is a mobile phone built on a mobile operating system, with more advanced computing capability and connectivity than a feature phone. The first smartphones combined the functions of a personal digital assistant (PDA), including email...

... Introducing Operating Systems I n Chapter 1, you were introduced to the different hardware devices. In this chapter, you’ll learn about the different operating systems, how they are designed and work, and what they do. You’ll learn about the different components of an OS and see how an OS provides the interface that users and applications need to command and use hardware devices. You’ll learn to use several Windows tools and utilities that are useful to examine a system, change desktop settings, and view and manage some hardware devices. As you work through this chapter, you’ll learn that computer systems contain both hardware and software and that it’s important for you as a computer technician to understand how they work together. Although the physical hardware is the visible part of a computer system, the software is the intelligence of the system that makes it possible for hardware components to work. 35 9781133726890, A+ Guide to Managing and Maintaining Your PC, Jean Andrews - © Cengage Learning.
