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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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
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 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.
I did mess the all of the sections you just said that we should not mess around with. I have never owned a mac before and was finding my file folders all over the place. that is how i got into these folders
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!
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.
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 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.
Ahah, you've answered a question in this video that I have. I want to store all my A and B roll video and other assets in a video folder, but didn't want to have it duplicated in iCloud. So all I need to do is create a folder in Movies and store them all in there.
FORCED to have a mac due to being a recording artist, man nothing kills my inspiration more than the sterile boring slow to navigate mac folder setup, just hate it, but great video, thanks for helping me deal with the terrible task of dealing with files on mac
I have been using Apple products for over 10 years, new paying much attention to organization. I have a loose organizational structure, just to be clear. Now it’s time to totally organize.
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
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.
03:49 Explanation level for a 8-year-old boy... so mac users will actually understand it BTW, thank you for this... I have to use an "apple" machine because my company assigned me one and your tutorials have been helpful :)
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.

Very good, stratight-forward explanation for those of us who are new to Mac. Thank you!
Wish I’d known all of that years ago. Thanks! Your videos are so clear & helpful.
Your voice is amazing! Thank you for teaching this with so much patience, keep up the amazing work!
This is EXACTLY what I needed. I couldn't figure out how my PC knowledge on organizing folders could transfer to MAC. THANK YOU!!!
This video is worth a Dozen other TH-cam Videos, Saved my time, Thank You Gari

Thank You for this wonderful video.
Love the content you create! This is what I always wanted to know and you made my life simple. Thanks a lot for sharing this with us.
I've been hating my new Mac for months and I finally get it. haha Thank you!
I had a friend of mine tell me a long time ago, "To get good with your software you have to spend "face time" with it."
Thank you for the breakdown and detailed explanation.
This illuminated why I have different storage options on my laptop and my Imac
Great video. I was hoping you would also talk about external drives and their formats, but this was still extremely helpful. Thanks...
Thanks! Such a helpful video
Thank you for the very detailed tutorial!
