Running Applications

OS X comes with many applications — such as Safari for browsing the web, Mail for email, and iTunes for playing music and videos — but you will very likely need to install other applications as well. Whatever applications you run, you can switch among them quickly in several ways. You can also store your documents online in iCloud and share them easily with other people.
