Mum tries Mac OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion (2012)

- čas přidán 5. 09. 2024
- Finally an operating system she really likes and is possibility her favorite! The latest version of Mac (10.8 Mountain Lion) has everything she wants. Mac doesn't change dramatically over time like Windows does (e.g. windows 8) and she says she likes the look of it... better than xp!!! Oh and possibly even better than Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon Edition! Remember the start menu that she never wants to part with? The dock is starting to grow on her as a viable alternative so maybe she will end up tossing the start menu into the trash can ;)
Tasks Given:
- What time is it?
- Write, save and open a text document
- Maximize a Window
- What is 48 * 32
- Customize the way your computer looks
- Explore the operating system yourself
- Turn off your computer
The mother in this video only ever uses Windows XP running with the classic win95 theme. Would you like to see her try out other operating systems such as Linux, Mac or Windows systems throughout history... Or maybe even Debian? Then give your suggestions in the comments section.
Give this video lots of likes, views, favorites and comments if you want my mum to try out other operating systems. I am open to any operating system suggestions you give especially if these videos go semi-viral (over 100,000 views). This channel is dedicated to me "introducing" people (mum, dad, me) to different operating systems they have never used before and leaving them to suffer in confusion struggling to do anything in an unknown computer environment... or see if these other operating systems are better than Microsoft Windows.

@@Alex2001646 what?
12 gig ram, 12 core processor running at 3.33ghz. When emulating operating systems in these videos however the specs go down heaps since the computer is running a virtual machine on top of the real one.
these videos are strangely addictive
Agreed mum has a oddly relaxing voice
You require a modification/hack applied to vmware to get it to boot a Mac operating system. Try searching for the hack.
I know it was so amazing. I didn't touch fedora 17 yet it was compatible with my webcam out of the box. Mac OSX however was not compatible so I don't know what was going on there...
7:11 LOL
My dad had a heck of a time trying to learn Linux or Windows, but I sat him down with an old mac of mine and he picked it up almost immediately. He literally used my old mac until it quit working (it had long since stopped receiving updates because it was one of the old PPC macbooks). I have no doubt that if the computer were still working, he'd still be using it. I'll probably end up giving him my macbook pro at some point in the future because he really loves the OS X experience.
I followed a tutorial by "ThatOneInternGuy" on youtube although I used virtual box in this video rather than vmware.
Yea lol, I looked on the Internet for hours looking for Mac pranks and came up with nothing appropriate for Diana apart from the newton virus prank but that is only compatible with leopard. Instead I came up with my own idea and did the Alex prank ;)
Which is ironic since Alex was first introduced in Leopard, advertised against the previous Mac voice (Victoria) and also against an early development stage of Microsoft Anna.
Hahaha that was funny. How did you get the text to speech to play without your Mum clicking on anything? I did not realise that was possible
It was a secret background audio file that had 6 minutes of nothing at the beginning of it. I pressed play, loaded up mac and then 6 minutes in "booom".

@@OsFirstTimer You do know that a better way of executing this is to set up something with Automator, right? Because Automator is like the precursor to the shortcuts app, but more advanced with more features.

Can Diana try to use Mac OS X El Capitain?
Good idea!

In Mountain Lion, there's a feature that makes you drag things off the dock at a certain distance from the dock, so you don't remove things accidentally.
Thank you for saying Macs are expensive and not overpriced. It's a fact that they're VERY expensive, but to the right person they can be worth every penny. I spent £999 on my iMac back in August 2010 and have never regretted it since. Came with Snow Leopard now running Mountain Lion without a hiccup. Truly the best computer I've owned. They're expensive but have great longevity and can still be relevant 5 years later.
I want to see what she thinks of Yosemite.

Time stamp please
Windows has that "Text to Speech" too, also allowing it to read things like Text on Websites, and for that "Sucked up" thing when minimizing apps, Windows does that too.
no windows does not have that.
you have to download third party to use it.
Linux has it.
truthfully using ONLY windows and 1 game you aren't able to play it, ...
you need to download drivers and shit for OS to even work normally.
and yes windows is best gaming platform FOR now gaming platform is getting to linux.
Actually windows is the only OS that doesn't has it's own drivers, linux has it's own but it can also use other drivers it's called "non free" even if they are free, but it's just that isn't made by Linux community.
even mac I heard has it's own drivers.
and no Windows does not have it's own drivers.
and about gaming you are just a morron I said it's moving.
not that it's there as when more than 50% of it will be there it'll be there it won't be moving any more.
and since you are such idiotic morron I could never find on the internet before either you had a very bad day OR you are on anti depresives. Ya that shit is freeking poison.
humh from when 30 year old with lots of knowledge about computers and even my grammar isn't that bad compared to yours - is a kid?
I think you are just retarded but it's your call.
and no I say M$ because they try to throw everything at Linux they even blackmail hardware companies against Linux community.
think of it this way M$ looks like government Linux looks like people.
just my 2cents ;)
*****
seems you are on antidepresives, ...
and no windows does not come with drivers.
and you can't even read.
I guess you need glasses too.
or maybe you are such in bad shape you only need a grave.
you are just an idiot that doesn't know what to do with his time, ...
John Smith Im the idiot? Are you the one who had to correct a paragraph from my comment to prove a point? No... that was me correcting you showing how much of a moron you are.
John Smith It does have it, it's just really quick and unimpressive
Even I was trying not to laugh when she said that. Imagine if computer rally did burp... They probably will when the become a singularity in a human body ;)
This was running on vmware. I am sure you will find it if you simply google "mac os mountain lion iso" or something like that. I have a macbook, ipad, iphone and ipod touch by the way (collected over 4 years), make sure you buy apple's products to support apple and only ever download their operating system for temporary testing purposes.
Have her try OS X 10.10 Yosemite :)
Yeah that would be epic
Loved how she react when the voice started...
Lol, Really? I personally would get excited if something like the talking alex feature (6:00 - 7:00) happened to me!
Actually from memory a talking clock for Mac does exist, but it uses the Bells voice.
Yes but theres more to it. to sum it up, Spotlight is a search engine for you computer. It will not only find applications by name but any document on the computer. It also searches through documents as well. So any words you remember in an email or word document that you forgot where it was, it will be able to find it
Have her try El Capitan.
25:50 his mom was like "oy ye laughin? ye gun need sum spankin aren't ye?"

25:50 was pretty uncalled for. You should be thankful that she's very open minded and curious to try new things with different operating systems, don't laugh at her when she's asking questions and trying to learn more about them.
Apart from that, it's really interesting to see how older users explore technology. These videos are good.
Dude, I think that's your mother,
and she was being very straight to your questions and even then you was like laughing at her on her CORRECT responses.
Don't you thing that was too much,
also,
your responses were based on your knowledge that you ALREADY had, and what was the purpose of this youtube video was to ponder how a newbie react to a new OS, hence her answers/responses what to the point what we, viewers are here to listen, so before interrupting her, give a second thought !!
BTW, nice thought of creating such videos, it really helps understanding a new user perspective to an OS/application.
Just shared your Ubuntu 13.10 tryout video with *****
and I hope he would really appreciate your work.
Good luck.
10:21 "Hey, that's pretty good!"
1 thing I've noticed in your videos, the first 3 tasks are almost always the same! "What time is it?" "Write, save, and open a text document" Calculate ***X*** .Just to make the vids a bit more interesting, try changing the tasks. E.G. 1. Turn on and login to the computer. (Or start the VM, insert the live usb) 2. If the time is incorrect, Change the time to the correct time. 3. Create a new folder and put a program/document into the new folder. Just a thought to make the vids a bit more interesting.

I honestly like the windows 7 start menu search because it searches the whole system instead of telling it where to serach
"Why are you putting a pillow on it?"
discraction, ...
Hahaha! The pillow over the screen! Amazing!
To everyone wondering he is emulating Mac using VM Ware Virtual Box(a virtual OS).
***** What is VMware VirtualBox? Don't you mean VMware OR VirtualBox?
Yes you can emulate mac os x
*****
You can, it's called Hackintosh
djlobb Correction: Hackintoshing is Not Emulation. But ran from straight Apple code that is hacked in compatibility to better fit pc components. This all went possible as soon as Apple started using intel x86 Cpu architecture in their machines....
He uses vmware for this but you cant do this anymore now you need
Spotlight is the quickest way to launch a Mac application... just start typing its name then press the return key. Better yet, its a great calculator. "Mum" could have solved her calculation question very quickly by going to Spotlight (Cmd-Space) then entering the figures. Pressing Cmd-C will copy the result to the clipboard. Great stuff.
Try Out Mac OS X El Capitan
That thing on the bottom is called a “Dock”.
Hey, stop scaring your mom! :D
And don't impose her view that it's the best OS. Even if it's so.
Small tip - you could calc right in spotlight without running the app.
+ mail stopped shutdown because you left the initial setup window of the app - mac prevents you from loosing settings.
As per pricing - it's not "extremely expensive". If you look for real equivalent of branded PC. If you compare branded notebooks - very often macs are cheaper - that's just a quality limits + by using native hardware you'll enjoy some specialties you'll never give up like multitouch.
This is why people like Macs. They're easy to use and appealing. So all of you OS X haters please shut the hell up. Some people do not know about OS's too well, they just like what appeals to them most, and most people prefer Macs because of this. I like both Windows and OS X.
well from this vid I exactly saw why I would hate the OS.
what the hell why would mail say NO you can't shut down usually if PC is too much aggro on me at that time I just FORCE shut down it if everything else fails I plug it out no OS has struggled against my will after that action.
Why are you liking the bad things?
I'm fairly proficient and I still like OS X because it looks nicer and doesn't have so many inconsistent, confusing features that obviously no time went into.
I've been a hardcore Windows fan for my whole life, but I think I'm slowly becoming a Mac fan. Of course I still like Windows though.

>being a fan

Inspired me to create an OS X Mountain Lion virtual machine. On a real Mac.
You could use hackintosh and install it
The plus sign button on windows is not Maximise-it is Zoom. OS X first got Maximise with the Full-Screen feature.
I hope it’s not rude
I imagine you editing the "pillow part" hahahahha I couldn't stop laughing!!! I love this channel
Your mum is gorgeous!
The camera I was filming with has in inbuilt microphone. It's funny because its a bottom of the range 2012 camera... It's only $299 rather than the other hand held camers which ranged from $500 to $4000.
mac os with a x
A mac mini doesn't include the monitor. When Diana buys something she wants simplicity. She doesn't want to buy a monitor separately. I showed her the iMac after this video and she really liked it. The fact its all wireless and the desktop tower is built into the monitor is amazing to her.
everybody turn on subtitles its so funny but so wrong
I am about to edit the subtitles in a few days...
I love the part when your mum puts the pillow by the screen and whispers "how did it know all that stuff about me" lollol
08:35 "The most advanced operating system"... no man, Mac OSX is FAR, really far from that.
About 10 light years away.
***** I know.
So which version of Linux is the most advanced?
I mean Windows is not advanced, that's something everyone with a penny worth of knowledge should be aware of.
***** Which DISTRIBUTION is the most advanced?*
Sorry for not using 100% precise terms, I was too quick. Advanced the way I see it means which one comes pre-packaged with the most features. Chrome OS could clearly fit someone perfectly but it will never be advanced because of that. Anyway, having used Linux a lot, Mac OS a lot and (unfortunately) Windows a lot, I will have to say that Mac OS appears to be the most advanced one due to it including so much useful software. But some Linux distros made for specific purposes also include a tremendous amount of software, so I don't know, actually. Mac OS does at least have a far more advanced Desktop environment, as there are really a lot of small features and details in it that you just can't find equivalents to in Linux and Windows.
Echoz28 try pinguy OS its ubuntu based
The last macOS version i've ever touched.
You have the patience of a saint. I wouldn't have been able to deal with my mom using OS X this slowly.
Well actually in another channel I will have Diana trying out computer games. For example "Diana plays singularity (2010)". I won't do that for a while though because I don't have enough people requesting it and that would mean less time to do operating system videos.
Yes I will get her to try out games very soon. This will be done on a new channel. I will release a video on this channel talking about the new channel and giving a preview of it soon. This osfirstimer channel will continue however with more operating system videos.
Whatever channel turns out to be more popular is the channel we will make the most videos for. I wonder if the new channel will surpass the subs on this Channel...
No it's a Lenovo running windows 7 with a modified version of vmware allowing mountain lion to bypass the "is this a Mac computer" boot check.
Linux ones are avalible to freely download while others can be found on abandon ware sites. Some subscribers give me links to virtual machines they have set up to encourage me to have my mum try operating systems... Where those come from I have no idea, sorry... I have bought Mac OSX and a macbook though incase that's what you're wondering.
I agree. It needs to be a 1,000 word limit.
This runs on the INTEL PENTIUM IV processor, There is a music creation studio called Garage Band it is in the applications folder if not there open Apple Store and download and install.
Hey thanks lol never knew I would get 1.5k subs ;)
Lol... I haven't played mass effect before. It's scary games I want to have my mum test... Is mass effect scary?
I really enjoyed your series and I hope you keep at it.
As a Linux user,I was perplexed that you showed the virtual desktops and other windowing effects in Mac but could not be bothered to show them in Linux.
Also,as time goes on it will be less important that things be comparable with Windows. I've not used a Windows program in 9 years and I've done fine. I have the Linux equivalent programs (- Wine) in my operating system (Ubuntu with Gnome classic) and have been happy as a bunny in clover.
I wanted to show her voice dictation and text to speech but due to emulation problems sound was not working correctly.
She likes how modern and simple it looks. Although it took her time to get used to she still prefers it over windows 8 due to how cartoonish and old fashioned windows 8 looks.
Just a note: both Apple and Microsoft have made large and decisive leaps in their operating systems. Mac did this when it went from OS 9 to OS X, by changing from it's custom, built-from-the-ground-up OS to a Unix base, easing the transition by giving users Classic mode for awhile. Windows 95 was Microsoft's first BIG leap, ME grafted the features of the upcoming XP onto Win98, and Win8 is Win7 with a tablet UI and some under-the hood improvements. Big changes happen to all of them, tho.
Gentoo is on the list but still a long way away from being tested. I would say within the next 10 videos though...
12 gig of ram, 12 core processor running at 3.33 ghz... maybe I should set all my computer specs as the description of this channel.
23:30 Hahaha Diana is following Alex's instructions...
Trust me... It's not an easy task. It was emulated in vmware but I had to patch vmware so it would trick OSX mountain lion into thinking it was a Mac to bypass the "am I booting on a Mac computer if not I need to have an error" check. It's not worth it though if you are thinking of using Mac on windows. It's ultra laggy!
As soon as I saw launchpad I was instantly reminded of fedora... At the same time though its also very similar to ios on iPhone and ipad... The question is what system first had that fedora/big icons look?
I have a Mac and I freckin love them! The only thing I miss are all the commerical games I used to play on Windows or downloadables from the internet
Mum is precious! Take her to dinner then swing by the Apple store. Couple of weekend yard sales and an iMac isn't that far away.
I see you left out the Mac mini from your Australian desktop Mac price chart. For the record, a mini is au$699 for the base model. It's probably the go-to model for potential Windows switchers like Diana.
Great series though! I really enjoy these. As a tech geek myself I often don't think about how an operating system impacts people's lives, especially the inexperienced or non-tech-savvy ones. Your videos really provide a look into how 'casual' computer users experience OSs.
what a beautiful mother and son relationship.
23:11
That's not a very fair comparison...
The start bar in Windows 7+ is Microsoft's version of the dock.
The Start menu is for when you want to go into other programs you haven't pinned or "docked" to your startbar, in OS X's case, you would go into finder.
That's not me saying that! It's the official statement apple makes about their operating system. Check out their website ;)
Well she's used windows 7 on my computer but not really navigated with it. She's just been doing her emails and doesn't actually do anything outside of the web-browser.
With magic mouse it is easier to access launcher with a flick of the finger than to go and click on the dock. I also used to think it redundant but now I do it all the time.
You should also make a 2hr special or something of Diana trying out a bunch of different operating systems, some good, some OK, some bad, and some including pranks.
Truth is as a Mac user for close to 20 years, I noticed more changes between Mountain Lion and some of the newer "California parks" named operating systems. El Captain (the new one) is rather interesting. There's a lot that translates over from the "Cat family" versions but there's also some interesting differences in regards to the interface.
El Capitan and Yosemite look way better in my opinion
Actually right clicking of any sort was not working. No menu popped up on the desktop when right clicking. Something must have been wrong with emulation.
cool feature too if you hold shift then click on the yellow - logo in the top left corner of your window, it will shrink in super style, try it!
I'm a Mac user and I have had Mountain Lion on my system previously, I personally prefer Mac OS to others, just because that's how I feel about it, I know there's so much competition between Windows and Mac OS and so many people hate MAC OS, but I think people get far too carried away with their comments about specific operating systems.
That's what I hate about people who think one's better over the other. It's just a preference thing. That's what people need to realize. I'm a fan of both. You received: 10,000+ points for your awesome point.
None of the operating systems in our videos have been obtained using torrents... So far
Yea lol ;) but its the same question asked in all videos so I had to keep it unchanged in the way I spoke it.
I think you instruct her with a bias towards a certain solution, which in turn makes the task at hand harder to do. Your mom is surprisingly clever when given the chance to be, when it comes to figuring out sometimes arbitrary UI-decisions. I'm enjoying these videos though.
It's not installed on my pc... Its just a virtual machine so I'm running Mountain Lion in VMWare which is why it is so laggy. A hackingtosh setup would give you a little more speed.
6:00 She be like WTF IS GOING ON!?!?!?!?
It's obvious OSFirstTimer uses and likes OS X. He generously demonstrates a lot of things compared to the other OSs.
Yes but some vmware hack had to be applied to disable something in vmware that stops Mac operating systems being installed/booted.
