#macmost #mactutorial - Věda a technologie
Once again, I start watching your videos… a little distracted, thinking ‘I know this… that… yes that too…’ then. WAIT! I have to backup and rewatch a section to learn something I didn’t know. I’ve been using Mac’s for about 40 years, still have one of the first Mac’s in my office… and YOU teach me something I didn’t know in almost every video.
I am the same way - I have to rewind periodically to be sure I didn’t miss something.
I’m somewhat new to the MacBook. Bought mine in 2020 and couldn’t be happier. The leap from Windows to Mac really wasn’t that bad.
And Professor Gary’s channel is pure gold for someone like me. 😊
I thought I was the Mac wizard... this guy is Dumbledore
Thank goodness for the search facility. I understand the need for continuity between iOS and macOS but, holy smoke, this is nuts.
You know this stuff inside and out! I learned so much with this side-by-side tutorial. Thank you!
I am SO grateful you created this video! After not being able to find Sys Pref's I started searching everywhere on CZcams assuming I had a bug. Fortunately I found your video!! Thank you, greatly appreciated.
Your video clearly shows the superiority of System Preferences over the new System Settings in Ventura. All the good ideas you mention could’ve been implemented in System Preferences without this complete redesign and it’s endless lists, scrolling, and digging down to find a button.
To be fair, we have to dig down to find buttons before too. And if the idea was to make it the same across all platforms, going half-way would have been bad.
A great topic! A very useful and informative video tutorial today! Thank you! 👏❤️
Great presentation, and informative and I liked the side-by-side comparison.
I actually had no clue anything had changed until I went to swap out the desktop background. I'm not a huge fan of lists, preferring to see all the icons in one place, or at least have the option of how to view it. This has been seriously helpful in navigating the new format. Thanks for the post!
Thank you sooooo much for this, I am a long time Mac user and have grown to like the old system preferences app, but I was blindsided when I upgraded. so this video really helped me find out the new system settings app. Thanks a bunch Gary
Hi, Gary. Another excellent video. You deserve to have many more subscribers. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge.
Great video Gary. I'll be installing Ventura on my 2020 iMac tomorrow, so this video will be useful. Thank you.
well done. Explanation of changes and HOW to find them is great. Deleted settings could also be mentioned i.e. idle time before screen saver is activated, would be useful. Thanks again.
Another very useful video by Gary, thanks I find your presentation style excellent. Keep up the good work.
Very informative! Been using High Sierra for years and about to switch to Ventura. Everything has been moved… very confusing. Thank you for the detail explanation. 😊
Excellent tutorial. Very informative. Many thanks!
This video took some of my frustration with the new settings. 1000 Thanks!!!
muito bom cara!!... depois desse vídeo mudei minha opinião sobre o novo System Settings, valeuuu 🛸
Very comprehensive Gary! Saving this for when I need to poke around in System Settings and am still used to the old way.
I was kind of apprehensive about system settings. (Most people don’t like change!) There are a few things that seem odd or disorganized to me. But since I use iPhone/iPad a lot of this actually feels very intuitive and I think I will get used to it pretty quickly.
Excellent split-screen presentation. I find the new System Settings in Ventura more intuitive.
Thank you!! Such a thorough tutorial! 👍🏽
Great video. It will take some time to get used to the new set up. Thank you
Awesome presentation, great information. Thank you thank you.
Hi Gary. Nice to see you again😊
Thank you Gary for this information.
Ventura's new feature are useless to me from what I see right now, all this new OS has done is force me to the very bottom of a frustrating learning curve with this new system settings mess. Thanks Gary, I have the feeling I'll be returning to this video many times for help.
thank you Gary for the excellent tutorial
Thanks very much bro, your video help me to find screen recording at ventura 13.4.1
Absolutely fantastic video !
Oof, it's going to take some getting used to! 😜 Still, as you say Gary, it fits in well with the iOS settings, so hey! it ain't rocket science... And I'm really grateful for this super-clear deep dive into what's changed and where to find things. I can see I'll be coming back to this tutorial several times for a refresher! Thank you 😀
This has helped me. Thanks!
This was a great tutorial. I learned a lot. I don't know if I missed or not, in one of your tutorials you showed how to increase the text cursor. I can't seem to find it in macOS Ventura? Thank you for educating all of us. I wouldn't know how to use may Mac as much as I can without your tutorials.
You can increase the pointer in Accessibility, but I don't know of any way to increase the text cursor as it still needs to fit vertically next to letters as you type. So it is usually the size of the font you are using to type.
@@macmost
Hey Gary: Fantastic comparison.
Gary very informative video. I still have a problem trying to get my external dvd player to show on the desktop, this used to be east through Finder but I cannot see how to do it in Ventura.
Thanks for the info
Your my favorite MAC guy for all Apple stuff😊
Yeah sucks that things have moved all over the place, I will have to get USED to it, nice video :)
thank you for valuable video how can I find the overview button in the new macOS system setting?
Thank you! Such a lifesaver!
Great video! I'm curious how you achieved the split screen with two different operating systems. Was one of the OS's set up as a virtual machine or did you do it in post or some other way? Thanks!
Two different Macs. Screen recorded both at the same time and then combined the videos.
Thank you so much!
Thank you a nice video . I prefer the old version more. really .
Excellent summary of changes. I looked at your earlier video on how to turn off Apple Music, but your suggestions don't seem to work in Ventura. Is there a solution?
Where are you looking? In Music, Settings, General it is the first thing listed there. "Show: Apple Music." Of course if you are using Apple Music, then you won't see that.
Gary, you are wonderful! 🙂
Love the new update
Thanks for all this information! I have to admit that plenty is not a change for me since I didn’t know about them on Monterey to begin with 😅. But wait, wait, wait….what are hot corners?? 😗

Thank you!
Thanks!
As I’m watching this video, I’m thinking that a simple PDF guide as to where items were previously and where items are now would be helpful for some of us nonthinking thinkers.
That would be a massive PDF. And probably only useful for the next month or so. Better to just use the search function. It works better in System Settings than it ever did in System Preferences.
Linda completely agree I was just learning the Mac and boom switched up on me. I’m so over it lol
Thank you 🙏
Thanks bunches
Thanks for the video. Very useful.
Does our ‘System Preferences’ choices remain unchanged after update?
Yes, your settings don't go to default or anything like that. The underlining settings aren't affected. This is just the visual interface you use to change things.
@@macmost Thank you so much.
can i ask would u know where to find the advanced option for security like enabling rogue amoeba. should be under security under allow applications. i need something to change there :(
Under System Settings, Privacy & Security. Then look under the category where the app is supposed to be asking for permissions. Contact the developer for more details.
Gary, in the last OS i was able to schedule my computer to Shut down or go to sleep in System Pref. Energy Saver. In the new oS Ventura, I can't find it. can you help me? Thanks.
I have a video on this coming next week.
Great video - however, under printers - I can't seem to find what used to be called, advanced options or advanced settings - where you could change Gamma, Brightness, Contrast, etc. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
That would usually be in the Print dialog, not in System Settings.
Would be nice if Apple would incorporate a right click option on each of the "Allow in the Background" items to display the software name and/or finder location so you can rest assured it's not malware or something undesirable. For example, in my list I have an entry that says, "Audio Hijack". I have disabled it but have no idea if it's malware or legit and belongs to software I installed.
I Gary, another great video. I’m from Italy. Do you know why I can’t swap decimal separator from comma to dot. Is the only way to do it to change country? Thanks ☺️
Sorry . I can’t choose decimal separator if I select Italy. I can’t swap comma for dot. 😊
Not sure. I don't see an option for that currently.
Thanks for your reply Gary. Mac OS Ventura has added features that gets the multiple desktop more intuitive to use.
Your video lessons let me get updated learning cutting-edge and useful tips in a smart way.
Thank you and Macmostvideo. 😊
HI GARY: Is there any way to have the reminders auto alphabetize reminders lists ? (Other than manually...). I believe there is no way to do that. I thought I would check with you as well just in case I am being clueless.... BTW I am fining it much easier to manipulate/edit lists on the iPad so far...
View, Sort By, Title.
@@macmost Gary sorry, I meant to ask how I alphabetize the actual List Titles section... I have done it manually, it does not appear there is a "sort by title" function for the actual LIST TITLE field but that's OK. BTW: I LOVE Apple Reminders these days... It has "taken over" from my Apple Notes in many areas... 😊
im downloading it rn..and watching this lol
A close family member needed a computer for working from home so we gave them our older MacDesk top and we bought a new MacMini. My question is they were getting my passwords and I was seeing their passwords in the keychain. I figured out a setting to disconnect the link but I want to make sure they do not have Any access to my Iphone items, macmini, iphones, ipad etc since they had our passwords. Any suggestions? Plus I can't see my Folders now unless I go to Icloud only.
You should completely wipe the Mac before giving it to someone else. Let them set up their own accounts and log into their own Apple ID.
I found it easy with the previous system preferences window.
Hi I’m trying to find options and utility under printers and scanners
Could u guide me plz!!
Not sure what you mean. Select the the printer there, and then everything that is listed is what you have available. If you need more, you may need to install something from your printer's maker.
Great job as always, Gary. BUT the Apple UI team earns an F for this effort. Great UI takes a massive effort to get right (which means making it simple) and this is anything but! I'm not sure what the team was inhaling when they listed login items by *developer*. Thanks for making this 20-minute video trying to sort out Apple's huge misstep.
I'm thinking it is more complex than that, and may have to do with the age of the app, the time of last update to more modern libraries and such. I am testing an app of my own and that shows up with the app name. So maybe this gets corrects as apps update to have the right information in the right places.
At first, I didn't like it. But eventually, it began to grow on me and now I like it. I think it's the way forward. System Settings, previously System Preferences uses the same design vocabulary as iOS and iPadOS, allowing switching between devices even easier.
I prefer the other one this one is all over the place
I think it would be nice for us to choose the view that we like the most, we paid for the mac's
My 2015 imac, which is on Monterey 12.6.1, System Preference does not tell me there is a update out there but my macbook air has already migrated to Ventura - Whats up with that?
A 2015 wouldn't be compatible with Ventura. macmost.com/macos-system-requirements-list.html
Learning about Ventura, I know where to come
I’m OK with this level of iOSification of MacOS. It’s going to take a while but eventually I’ll get used to things. However, I’ve discovered one function that is no longer present: The ability to set priorities for different wifi networks. Network interfaces can still be prioritized, but not different networks within the wifi interface. Can’t “hide” startup items anymore, they either load with their windows or they don’t load at all. I wonder if any other functions were removed, I haven’t yet thoroughly explored enough to find out.
did you figure this out?
@@falcon81701 There's nothing to figure out. This option was removed from System Settings.
Is there a way to go back to the classic look? Thanks,Y
No, this is how System Settings looks. There is no "classic" option.
i need help with unlocking secruit and privacy setting
Great explanation of the new and improved System Settings. I know you have been talking about this for a while, and my Mac and iPhone are similar to these new system settings. One item missing is that Monterey you could sort by name the various system settings. Yea, I know you can you the View for the list of system settings sorted.
Is there a way to get system preferences in the old tile format as opposed to just list? Ventura downloaded a list. I don't want a list...I want the old format of tiles.
I have a mac laptop and mac desktop.
In the old, I could add an app to the list of privacy features if that app was not found on the list by clicking on the ADD button below the list. In Ventura the ADD button is gone. So how do I add an app to the list if not there, eg, to add an app to acess my photos. ??
Not sure what you mean as the app has to have been built with the privacy settings, so you can't just add one. Maybe you are thinking of another part of System Preferences.
No the printer settings is my issue I no longer see where to change things like high speed printing or turn on thick paper. I was hoping you covered that
Depends on your printer. Usually the printer would provide those in the Print settings when you go to print.
@@macmost thank you I called epson and figured out that I needed to update my driver the problem has lessen significantly but not completely
How can I change printer settings to print thicker paper? Thank you..
You'll have to see what is available in the Media section I suppose. Depends on the printer and whether you installed some sort of update for it. Check with your printer's support too.
Need help: After the update it changed the priority list of my Wifi connections to a default alphabetical order. How can i change the order of my Wifi connections?
Apparently, you manually select the network you want and Ventura learns which ones you prefer. "Known networks are scored based on your actions. If you manually switch to a network, its score increases. If you manually disconnect from a network, its score decreases. The "most preferred" network is the network with the highest score." support.apple.com/en-ca/HT202831
@@macmost thank you for your answer
Does anyone know how to get the "show downloads icon" (for safari) back in the menu bar when something is downloading, so that you can click on it to open the download instead of going into Finder>Downloads
It is in the View menu.
Hi! Great job, but I started watching to know where are the Mouse settings, as I use my MBP with Magic Mouse. I see that you showed the Trackpad but jumped the Mouse of the old version, supposing the Mouse and Trackpad are now together, but I can't change the settings for the Mouse secondary click. Where is it? Thanks.
=========
I am editing this to say that I could find it. What I suppose that happened is that I had the System Settings open BEFORE pairing the Magic Mouse - because of that, the Mouse settings DID NOT SHOW UP! When I closed and reopen System Setting, the Mouse was there, at the right panel.
Right, mouse/trackpad settings are only there if there is that device connected.
Hi Gary, after installing Ventura on my 2020 intel iMac, the dictation feature no longer worked. After reading some Apple forums, I started-up in safe mode and found that I could get it working. However, after restarting, it only worked for a short time, so I went into login items and started turning off items I didn't recognize. This "seems" to have worked for now. Did you experience this on any of your machines? BTW - I really enjoy your videos and often forward them to friends.
Haven't experienced that, but I don't use dictation every day. I'd try to narrow down which login items, is the troublemaker.
@@macmost Thanks for your reply. I ran the Maintenance function of Onyx and it seems to have resolved the issue ... for now. What a great little Utility! It's solved many problems for me over the years. Take care.
I have the 15.0 version on my Mac Pro M1...how do I change my screen timeout ?
Do you mean you have macOS Sonoma and you are looking to set how long until the screen sleeps? See System Settings, Lock Screen.
Somehow stumbled on to it. found it, thanx@@macmost
Where can I find the "lock"? I need to turn that off to install a program but I can't find it anywhere...
There is no "lock" like in Monterey and before. Instead it will simply prompt you for permission when you try to change something that needs permission.
No more automatic scheduling to turn on or off in system settings > battery?
There is a new way to do that. Video on that coming this week...
Hello, I have a problem and it is that in the settings the texts do not appear, that is, the black color framing option appears without text and I cannot see or choose anything.
Not sure what you are experiencing there, sorry.
Where can I find "Click the lock to make changes" under security & privacy in system settings?
That was in System Preferences (Monterey and before). In System Settings in Ventura, it simply prompts you for permission when you try to do something that needs permission.
Do you know where I can schedule sleep timers for my macbook pro on ventura now? I used sleep schedule on energy savers on the old OS for when I was about to go to bed. I'd put an audiobook on for an hour to fall asleep to, then the macbook would turn itself off/go to sleep after an hour, so the battery and power wouldn't be wasted... I can't stand Ventura! It's made things so much needlessly harder.
I know I answered you elsewhere, but for others seeing this I have a video on it here: czcams.com/video/_eK8V4pjV2Y/video.html
@@macmost Thank again! For a feature Apple claim "Not many use", one of the main complaints I've seen about the new OS, is this features removal. They've made something that was simple much harder for no reason. Apple claiming "It's to save power & battery condition" makes little sense ha.
I can't find 'Enable system extensions' which is usually in privacy and security. Is anyone aware of where it may have moved? I'm really frustrated that apple has hidden everything and made it impossible to find.
Perfect
hi! can you help me locate where I can allow for third party extensions :/ I can't find it anymore
or if anyone can help me figure out how to get my discord ACE extension to start working again plus
It is in Privacy & Security, at the bottom there is Extensions. As for that specific app, contact the developer and ask them.
Question. I’m trying to change individual app location permissions but there’s no apps listed in location services. There’s the location toggle at the top and that’s it. Is there no way to manually change app location permissions individually? Never owned a Mac before so I’m ultra confused.
Not sure why you aren't seeing any apps listed in Location Services. Keep in mind that apps only appear there once you run them and they have specifically prompted you for permission to access your location. If your Mac is new and you haven't granted permission in any apps to use location, then you wouldn't see anything here yet.
@@macmost that’s what I figured for part of the issue. Another issue I’m having is for the ones I haven’t, I can’t go back and change the permission to allow. There’s no app settings. On basically every other device there’s options for each app but on Mac, from what I’ve seen, it’s very limited. Unless there’s access via terminal?
@@BUGPLAYS there are basically three states: yes, no, and no setting. If you specifically said yes or no, then you should see it listed in system settings. But if you didn’t choose, then it is up to the app to ask them next time it needs it.
How can I use macbook keyboard with ipad pro in this new ventura ?
Not sure what you mean. Do you mean Universal Control? It is the same as before.
Anyone know where Energy Saver > Schedule went? I can’t find this anywhere.
I'll have a video on this later in the week.
@@macmost Awesome! Thanks.
can i change back to previously UI?
No. Just give it some time to get used to the new UI.
I have been experiencing a lag in the click when navigating through the system settings on Mac OS Sonoma. When you click on any settings page, there is no immediate response, taking almost a second to respond. It seems the OS is running slower than it should run. Why does it happen?
It shouldn't. You'll need to figure out what is wrong with your Mac if it is doing that. Maybe almost out of storage space (no room for swap?) Call Apple Support if you can't figure it out on your own.
@@macmost I have noticed that the more CPU processing it consumes, the slower it’s responses get. But it gets slow very quickly. Thanks for your help, I’ll contact Apple support.
Idk how to find the extension thing when I download something sometimes it ask me to go in security and privacy to turn on something but I can’t find it can you tell me how to accept something in the extensions
Depends on what it asks you for exactly. Pay carefully attention to which section of Security & Privacy you need to look at.
Well it says accept in extensions and when I look at extensions I only see some finders and something’s
@@Xext_GG I'd contact support for the app and ask them for better instructions.
Oh ok thx
Just got back into Macintosh for the first time in 20 years. Recently purchased an M2 Mac mini. The last time I used Macintosh it was 2003 with OS7. On that operating system there used to be the ability to resize a window so that the window would open just large enough to show all of the icons with a simple click, where is that option in Ventura.
Not sure which option you mean, but Window, Zoom (or Option+click the green button) will expand the window to a size that makes sense for the app+content.
Where do I find the eject button for my external backup drive?
In the Finder sidebar, just like before.
I found that updating to Ventura turned off my Time Machine backup and it wont' back up when I re-add it. #sadEmoji
Damn, man, u rock :))
Great video gary, settings are getting SO complicated now. so you video helps a lot, BUT can you please turn off the BACKGROUND TRANSPARENCY, that yellow tint is driving me nuts!
Wow, they really messed stuff up in the new app. They should at the very least play with some font hierarchy in the new app so that sections are seen easier in the panels. There’s no reason to separate Wallpaper from Desktop. I mean, if you’re going to do that why not move Finder Preferences under Desktop and have Finder function less like an app and more like the actual OS? Why not move Wi-Fi into the Network panel? Some really odd decisions going on in this whole thing. The problem with this is that the Settings app on iOS is very convoluted and complex compared to the old MacOS System Prefs. Now they’ve gone and made it complex on the new MacOS. At the very least they could have put everything in alphabetical order. Anyway, good walkthrough.
GARY! HELP! I can't back up folders from my MacBook Pro M1 to my Seagate external harddrive now .. since I've downloaded Ventura! (and my Mac storage is filling!) Thanks for help.
Not sure what you are doing. What do you mean, exactly, by "back up folders?" Are you just copying them to the drive? If so, what is happening when you try?
@@macmost Prior to this, I could choose a file (say photos or docs) on my desktop and drag it onto the Seagate external hard drive to copy them. Now it just spits it back out .. won't even accept it. (The Mac recognizes and opens the external hard drive, but it will not allow any further interaction between the two devices.) I may have to call Apple.
@@TravelingArtista Not sure why it would do that. Perhaps try again after a restart? Try another file? Try a file from your Documents folder instead of the Desktop?
@@macmost I have rebooted, tried various files, tried 2 different external hard drives. I haven't tried from Document folder. THANK YOU! Your videos are my GO-TO when I'm in trouble. So clear and concise. THANKS!
