Looking for Apple Manuals? Check the New Documentation Site

For a better path into Apple’s online support materials, check out the company’s new <a href="https://support.apple.com/en-us/docs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Documentation</a> site, which brings together manuals, specs, and some downloads for nearly all its products. The operating system User Guides are particularly helpful, and they even provide a Version pop-up menu that lets you make sure you’re getting information for the version you’re using.</p>
