My wallpaper
The widgets
screensaver
Turned back the wallpaper to solid black, otherwise the menu is white even in dark mode. Yes there's a way to fix this in accessibility, transparency, but come on! I never see my wallpaper anyway, it's always covered by windows.
Wall paper
THANK YOU! This has been a revelation and I understood everything you explained, I was glued to the screen and managed to make so many adjustments I didn't know I needed, it was brilliant. I shall certainly refer to your videos when I need to find out something about my Mac and the updates....
Changing my wallpaper to those new motion wallpapers was the best decision I've made all day. Thank you Brandon!
I’m new to the Mac world. I just upgraded yesterday from my 2016 Microsoft surface pro 4 4GB ram 128GB to the M3 iMac 16GB ram 2TB 👍🏼 super impressed so far and your videos helped me set it up nicely. Thanks Brandon
Thank you so much for this video! I've been using macOS for years, but I didn't know about a lot of these settings. I'm especially excited about the new keyboard dictation feature and the ability to automatically clean up verification codes.
Thanks for sharing your settings, I'm get mine adjusted very soon.
I absolutely love the new wallpapers and animations how it slows down. Some of them look like you could reach through the screen like they are almost 3D.
Brandon Great work on all. I not a fan of share for important things but never have. I think there is something in all your work that makes all of this interesting and helpful.Thanks so much for keeping us updated on all.✌️💯
One thing I liked a lot before updating was being able to switch the microphone mode while on a call (Standard/Voice Isolation/Wide Spectrum). I can't seem to be able to do so on Sonoma. Any idea what I can do about that?
I knew you're gonna make a video, it's very useful to change settings
SUPER helpful. Thank you!
I’m ordering me a mac
which one?
@@BrandonButch new one I forgot what it called
@@MaritwotwinDefinitely the M2 air
@@BrandonButchBig Mac
i’d go with 15” M2 macbook air
Love the content Brandon!!
🙏
Excellent. Very helpful.
Thank u soooo much Brandon. your video help me lots.
AirPods auto switching has improved significantly!! I have it on and it works great. I plan on leaving it on after having it off for years.
Oh my gosh this was SOOO helpful. I am new to mac and was hating it, it is so different than pc, but you fixed some of my biggest issues in this video. Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much for making and sharing this video. I implemented many of the new settings you suggested. I do have a question/comment about the shared audio with the new presenter feature. My zoom meeting viewers let me know the audio was completely choppy when using the presenter feature in either share screen or portion, and I solved this, at least particularly in zoom, by changing to zoom audio, which before this, I did not have any issues. Do you know anything about this? Thanks!
Awesome video, Brandon! Thank you!
New sub!
Great stuff!
Awesome video, best tutorial I've seen ever!!
Great video!! About to order a new Mac 😍
This was super helpful! I didn't like the predictive text or the click on the window and clear it out feature, so now that's all sorted! Other helpful tips as well.
Glad you found it helpful!
I'm new to mac and find you videos very useful
one small detail that is actually not that small is Safari extensions do not work in web-apps, at least not for me. That was immediately evident when I saved the web-app for YT and got ads the moment I opened a video. On the other hand, Chrome-generated web-apps do maintain functioning extensions, with a toggle too. I hope this is just a "coding" problem that will be easily fixable from the devs side and not an intended way of functioning for these apps. In the meantime I'll be sticking to Chrome web-apps
Just a question for the continuous wallpaper, how often does it change I can’t seem to figure it out. Thanks!
Thank's Brandon, I had to put this video into 2X mode so I could IMMEDIATELY change those settings. I feel much better now.
Thanks for this bc I deff didn’t know about half of these things
You have a really great voice Brandon and an interesting diction. I wish I could adjust the speed to 0.8-0.85 speed in CZcams. Great tips on taming Sonoma’s excessive embellishments. Subscribed.
THANK YOU!
Thank u amazing video
Thank you!!
The Yosemite national park mountains live wallpaper is soooooo gooood i recommend it for allllllllllll
Love that one! They're all stunning tbh
amazing you reached 1 million
congrtulation
you earned it
you are a hard wordking man for your content
all the best bro
sorry I hven't seen or checked any videos because I have android and windows lol
🙈
Web applications are awesome! Made one for ChatGPT today 😎
Thanks for these tips! I'd like to ask you how can I record a video using my iPhone via QuickTime on Mac but not in landscape mode but in portrait mode? I tried every way I know but with no success! Thanks!
I don't know why but I got so excited with the voice isolation on the mic mode. Very helpful if your job requires a lot of calling and video meetings like I don't have to buy an expensive microphone with noise cancelling. 🎉
That’s been there since Ventura! But yes very handy
Excellent!
EXCELLENT VIDEO I SUBSCRIBE THANKS👍GREETINGS FROM

So am I right in thinking that you can create custom moving wallpapers by just swapping out the file for another one?
Thank you so much! Super useful. I have one question that's driving me crazy!! How do you get a digital clock widget to appear within the available widget styles?! On my M1 2021 iMac a square faced digital clock style is a choice to add to my desktop. On my M1 2021 MacBook Air that digital clock widget choice doesn't even appear as a choice. Yes, both Macs are running the most current and exact version of OS Sonoma. And no, this isn't a feature or app that I downloaded from the App Store. I've been asking everywhere and nobody has an answer.
Yikes! Very excited about this video!! But the downloads path with Idle Assets in it doesn't exist on my computer. Have they changed it already?? Is there another way to access the wallpapers?
I have a 13-inch, 2019. what do you recommend? I am thinking of getting a new laptop
The dock app from safari is great!! Thanks so much!
It's so useful for my work apps like Docs, Sheets, etc!
Great video as always, thanks!
Good stuff
Thanks!
Appreciate you Michael! 🙏
This is so basic but how did you make your status bar on top (menu bar) bigger and monochromatic ? Mine doesn't change even after software update... need help ^^
Hi Brandon, Thanks for the video. Any idea or fix for desktop icon disappearing? After clean install I can't dump and icon including iCloud icon onto the desktop. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you for this. How do you stop Apple from automatically playing when downloading something?
Hey Brandon, thanks for the video.However, when trying to access 4KSDR240FPS folder I show no files saved in that location. What could I be missing? thanks!
at :30 you can see the date and time displayed. can that be edited at all? if yes, where can I find that?
Sonoma is awesome. I downloaded this earlier and have been changing so many things for the better. looks great with my M2 MacBook Air.
I am still not updating my mac from ventura to sonoma coz I've seen a lot of ppl saying they wish they just didn't update at all. What do you think are the negative things about the sonoma update, please? Thank you.
Brandon Butch makes the best videos ever :)
Can you suggest me the best portable ssd for macbook air m2
Right now i have samsung t7 touch and crucial x9 pro (im trying to return one of them)😅
Please respond
Can we set custom live wallpaper by swapping those files?
Just wanted to ask to be safe but if I were to delete a wallpaper file from the 4K folder, it'll still be in the wallpaper settings so that I could redownload it correct?
The wallpaper sharing is insane.
How can I back up my iPhone 6+ on Sonoma 14.1. Since installing this new upgrade I have not discovered how to backup my iPhone. Brandon Butch, do you know how to do that?
I really need to go to bed. 🇦🇺 (it’s 3:15am. Thank you for always posting great content Brandon
Awesome ! just a question how to get a menu bar like yours it looks very nice thanks in advance
The taller menu bar is currently exclusive to NotchBooks.
I just got the Mac pro 14” M3 for Christmas!!
"Hey there! It sounds like you're experiencing an issue with your MacBook Pro 2017 where the system extension is blocked and not showing up in settings to enable. Have you tried resetting the System Management Controller (SMC) or the Non-Volatile Random-Access Memory (NVRAM)?
How do you make the screen go off after a few minutes of non-use? It used to be in the battery setting.
I have Sonoma 14.0 and I tried to set AirPods to connect Automatically like you showed here but when I click on the info button next to my airpods I don't get the "Connect to this Mac" box at all. it shows all the other stuff though. Airpods are connected and in my ears.
great video i fond by me not liking clicking on the desktop and all my apps disappear,,, lol I know this may not be the place to ask this but i searched your videos and fond one video on messages from 7yrs age the reason i bring this up here i been looking for help on why my messages is not showing my photos from mines photos library so i can add a picture to my contacts,,, it worked before but now i don't know if it is messages or if it is the photos library that is give me problems...
I just love this macos "sonoma"
Can you have the wallpaper continue to move when outside of screensaver?
Would we be able to add our own screensavers into that folder?
strange. there's no wallpaper videos in the folders you mentioned (4KSDR240FPS etc). are they in some other folders?
what app are using to record screen I notice when I update to sonoma my obs is not scalling good
how did you get that line background through the current week in your calendar desktop widget?
hey how do I get the screensaver to stay on for a longer time? my display turns off like 3 seconds when the screensaver starts.
Question. I have 2 monitors, and sometimes when I click on a new app "window" and use keyboard shortcuts, the last previous active window still takes those, even though I clicked on a different app, sort of like the "focus" doesn't switch fast enough, it would be awesome if it could be set to switch on mouse focus, I believe the default is "cmd-click" and wait a couple seconds, and then the app is on focus, do you know a way to change this?
I know it's been awhile since you posted this but I have question I hope you can answer. I don't have that purple icon on my menu bar. Does it only show when the camera is in use? Does it work with all apps? I have no idea what it is though you've shown me what it does.
I can't see the feature for extending display into iPad in Sonoma? Is it just me or do I need to do additional configurations?
This video should have more visits!!!
Thinking about getting a Mac any suggestions.
I have an iMac and I was following along, but my settings screen does not have the same layout as yours...how come?
If you put a picture from Photo library does it move like the rest of the wallpapers settings?
Any advice on how to change how windows open on my Macbook Air M2 since installing Sonoma... they open in about 2/3rd the size of my screen. I always have to make them bigger by stretching them. I don't want complete full screen, just larger than they open. Everything I've tried that's been suggested onlline does not work. Please help!!
Hey I have Installed the Latest Sonoma after Install My touch pad or sometime click is not working .. So, I suggest please wait to update from Ventura ... AND can you please make a video on bugs on this new update... BTW nice video 😀
How did you get your cursor to be that smooth??
how do you change the icon sizes for the display thumbnails in folders, but make it the same for all folders at once? I know you can do it with the view options but you have to do folder by folder
IN windows I can have multiple windows open at once but on this MacBook Pro it always opens things separately. For example, I want to have a browser open and do some work through my terminal at the same time without leaving the browser or even going away from that browser page. How can I do that?
Thanks / the edit function when you take a screenshot - like adding text and colors - seems to have disappeared in Sonoma. You could do that in Monterey but now the edit line has gone ? Any way to get it back ?
Do you how to turn off the CAPS LOCK arrow up indicator that has been added as you type with Caps Lock on? I find it quite annoying as do many other users it seems.
Ha the location for the wallpapers and screensavers changed?
I kind seem to find the folder
Thanks Brandon. I just updated my Macbook Air laptop and will do these suggestions but I was hoping for the answer to solve my recent problem. I cant open ANY links. Especially my work ones. Very frustrating was looking on UTube for help. Can you help direct me, maybe others as well?
I need your help , that rectangular frame come up in the main desktop high lighted bars which was not coming earlier in my Ventura how to stop that , I hope u understand my question.
How do you get your computer to be so smooth and run so fast. Ive got the M1 2021 14 Inch, anyway I could improve it?
How much ram and storage do you have?
Thanks

How about battery drain? is this still happened? The only problem I feel obviously is the battery drain after updating from Monterrey
Hi I'm new with mac, I use Sonoma 14.3.1 how to see doc in the bottom always when I use the browser Safari or Chrome on full screen, it always hides.
