I appreciate you sharing your extensive knowledge of Mac OS with us. I am a lifelong PC user and recently bought a MacBook for college. Your videos have turned my frustrations into appreciation for the OS. Once again, thank you.
This was just what I was looking for! Thank you! I didn't understand that the Documents/Desktop folders were in iCloud and therefore didn't show up in Users.
Gary, you are fantastic, thanks a million!!! After 22 yrs on Windows I have just made the transition to Mac. What made things worse was being a tekkie I was familiar with the deep layers of Windows and its substructure. I was somewhat lost on the basics coming over to the MacOS. Despite Apple's enormous intelligence I found it does a very poor job of assistance in migration / introduction. If you search the apple database you find tiny bits and pieces of the knowledge you need. You done a superb job in understand, assembling, and presenting the solutions so many users need. Apple could really learn a thing or two from you. But I hope they don't, because we don't want you to ever leave us.
THANK YOU!! Best tutorial ever on MAC system. I switched from Windows to MAC about six years ago. I’ve learned most of this “the hard way” on my own. This is a fabulous summary and answers many questions I have not been able to learn on my own.
This is so informative. I wish I could sit down with you to help me figure out where everything is on my Mac and so much more! You make things clear, but I find afterwards I’ve forgotten what I learned. Ugh! I wonder how much of this is due to my old brain! You’re an excellent teacher, for sure! Thanks, Gary.
Two valuable things I learnt which are really useful from this. 1. How to move folders and files ( CMD + C > Option + CMD + V) 2. How to forward delete. (Fn + Delete) Thank you so much for this! Liked and subscribed.
Last time I used a MacBook was in High School, almost 10 years ago, been only on windows since. Just bought a Mac today and was completely lost. Didn't even remember how to get to the actual hard drive (or i guess SSD in this case) window in finder, thank you for the quick and useful refresher!
I just moved to a Mac for a new job, and while I consider myself a Windows "power user", I've always just been kind of guessing and inefficient on a Mac. This was a great explanation- hyper focused with just the right amount of context for it all to make sense. Subscribing and checking out other videos.
I had an iMac 2008 and it bit the dust some years ago so I switched to a laptop PC (which I’m still using--it’s been updated and using external monitor)--but have always missed having a Mac since I’m a iPhone/iPad, etc user. I finally bought an M2 pro Mac mini with upgrades to use with my external monitor and your videos are helping me immensely in getting reacquainted and organized. Thank you so much!
Excellent as always Gary. Very easy to follow. Long time Apple user, hate windows now. Plus I teach Apple related classes so your tutorials are always great for my own prep work.
Thank you so much! this was so clear and enlightening - I have had my mac for years and always been confused about what was on iCloud Drive and local files - now I understand. Thank you
so like all i needed was the first 20 seconds to figure out what I was doing wrong but I watched the whole thing to make sure I took in all the information.! thank you
Thanks Gary, been using Macs since 2011 and always struggled to understand file structure, best practice and what is on iCloud and what is not. This has helped.
The Mac has been very frustrating for someone very familiar with Windows, but I think this is really going to help. I just wanted a Windows Explorer type view.
you probably dont care at all but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost my account password. I would love any assistance you can give me
Your teaching style is great. I love analogies they help me to learn better. Love, Love this Channel. Will help me with my youtube channel and with my Mac. Maybe now I can use all the "gadgets"!!!! ty
Thanks Gary! I was following along and found some pics and things that have sentimental value that I thought were gone! I'm also getting ideas of how to organize my drive so that I could find things more easily.
Oops! I just realized that I am commenting on your other tutorial about the "finder". Still both tutorials are good! I came back to this is the reason. Thanks!
I bought Mac Mini M1, after few days it will come to my hand. 19 years using windows now i am switching to MAC. and only relying on your tips and tricks. I hope i will master the mac system very early..... thanks youtube thanks to the internet.
Thanks so much! I am new to the Apple Mac OS.... and this helps me a lot. I was saving files in the iCloud folders...and the Documents folders, etc..... all over the place, not knowing how to structure my folders like I had in Windows. Now, I feel I have a fighting chance.
You are the first mac user I have encountered, that knows where his files are :)
You didn't miss any detail for 11 minutes, I'm impressed and very educated now. Thank you learned person.
Dude you're a lifesaver. Switched to m2 air after 20 yrs of windows usage! i would have been lost without your explanation! thank you.
Someone coming from Windows here. Thank you for the clarity! Been wondering how the file structure worked.
