    I think I am totally in love with you even though I am an older woman! In all seriousness, I am so grateful to you for providing these videos. I am 69 years old and just got my first Mac and not being particularly computer savvy, I had so much to learn. I find your videos so much easier to understand. You don't speak so fast and the pace you use and examples you provide with such comprehensiveness are amazing. I look to your sites first when looking up a topic. I just purchased your NewTo Mac Sierra and one thing I want to bring u in I so wish CC options were included. I depend so much on cc to help me understand topics. Again, many thanks to you for all you do.

    I love your videos. If it wasn't for your videos I would not have been able to switch from Microsoft to Apple. At my age, 74, I need to go over things more than once to get it to sink in and because I can pause the videos to do the steps you explain so well and clearly I am able to accomplish what I need to do. Please don't ever stop doing what you do so , we all need you.

    Great classes. When we introduced my 80 yr old mother inlaw to a Mac Book Pro I sent her a link for one of your video intro classes. By watching your classes, she hardly calls me now with computer questions. I like to thank your for the easy to understand and detailed explanations. I also find many of them very informative. Thanks. Keep up the great job.

    This is the tenth video I've watched from this guy, David. He is the best trainer I've every had; I've had a lot of training! Thank you so much for the generous teaching; much appreciated.

    David, mother of four whose children said that if I did not get into the apple world they would stop texting me! I went from an android and PC to iPhone and MacBook pro in a week. My 16 year old really dislikes you! I was 2 hours from just giving her all my new toys when I found your first class! Thank you... keep teaching!

      for me it was the other way around ...mother of 3 teens with macs each one and then i wanted mine...they said: mom you are not going to be able to handle a mac... so I first found Davids clases and then felt confident on buying MY MAC haha! So I showed my kids that could handle a mac as a pro thanks to Davids clases!!! Fan #1

    Thank you for this quality instruction on what is under the hood of this new operating system. I am especially grateful for the PDF file. There is so much more there and I do not have to worry about taking notes.

    Thank you! I have been waiting on this video! I installed Sierra, but didn't even waste my time with other tutorials...I knew that you would cover what I really needed to know! Thanks again!

    Great work there David. I am actually very new to Mac, just bought the 2015 MacBook Pro a month ago. Trust me i just went though this video and the other one (Lean the Mac in Under an Hour) and i already feel comfortable and know how to handle and access my Mac.
    Appreciate the amount of effort and the research you have put down in each one of your videos.
    Thank you. .!

    THANK YOU!!!
    I've been all Apple for about 15 years but my "nothing wrong with" but "no longer supported" iMac has been sitting in my office for years while I primarily do everything with my iPad and iPhone. Buying a new MacBook Pro recently, I realized how much my brain had shifted from working on a computer to working with a portable device that uses Apps. When I started with my iPad many years ago, I wasn't a fan of Apps because I felt it was a watered down version of what I could access online but now I'm having to retrain my brain to recognize (and in some cases - reverse) the differences between my MBP and iPad/iPhone.
    I will be watching all of your videos as I try to remain current in the always changing tech world. Thank you for outstanding content and a HUGE sigh of relief that I can do this.

    • @markcollier1932
      @markcollier1932 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      We are so glad we can help! And don't allow yourself to get overwhelmed. In the vast majority of cases, tech doesn't change as quickly as people think. In terms of using a computer, nearly all functions remain the same from year to year, so it's only minor changes to keep up with annually (and that's only if you update the OS). You can do it!

  • @carolynbussey6013

    Great videos David. Very informative. Would love a video about caring for the battery. I see the battery health percentage but have no idea if it is good for it's age. Apple doesn't teach how to best prolong battery life. Just a thought.

  • @brendaparsons4462
    @brendaparsons4462 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks so very much for your informative videos. Last year I watched many of your videos before purchasing my mac so that I'd at least know what I was doing as a new user. And continue to do so!

  • @randypotter2660
    @randypotter2660 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    David - I've been using Sierra since it was released, but just came across this class today. As always I learned new things and was reminded of things I knew but had forgotten about. Thanks for another useful tutorial.

    Hi Mr Cox. I have just found you as I was looking for advice on OS Sierra. What a fantastic find! I have learnt so much and will continue to follow you. Thank you so much for all your advice. I use TH-cam as my main 'educator' and turn to it as soon as I need to know about something.

    @cynthiaaleonar6988 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    I so new to IMAC and I am so grateful on all your videos. I had difficulty playing around with it but as you are explaining things here I am able to follow you and even went along with your preferred set ups. I highly recommend and continue to follow all your thorough and clear instructions. I feel like I am actually sitting in a class. I know the Apple Stores have classes but they are usually full or just don't work with my schedule. So I am so happy to have found you here. Thank you and keep the workshops coming.

  • @mrkattm
    @mrkattm 8 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    David I want to thank you for the content you create for the Macs's. I have a late 2012 model 27 mac with 1TB drive, 32 gig of Ram and a 6TB CalDigit thunderbolt station. I cut my teeth on Cray super computers back in the day and still use windows in the office (20 plus years) I had the hardest time getting use to the Mac and I must say that I am often frustrated with some of Mac idiosyncrasies. If it was not for your videos I probably would have given up trying to be productive with it. I keep hoping that apple will round out the user interface so that there is more then one way to do the same task. Thank you and keep up the great work.

    • @markcollier1932
      @markcollier1932 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Michael Katt There are often multiple ways to do the same thing and I keep finding more all the time. Is there something specific you have in mind?

    • @mrkattm
      @mrkattm 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Mark Collier So many, where to begin, I guess I will start with my top complaints. For starters when you save a file you can't right click in the expanded 'save file dialog box' to create a new folder, you must click on the new folder button, but in finder you can right click in a folder to create a new folder. In Text editor there is no file save as option, so how does one save a copy of what you are editing while in the text editor application. Keyboard short cuts are not standard, there is no control insert because there is not an insert key plus they use command and not control, stupid. Don't get me started on the icons associated with the short cut keys, what the heck are they suppose to be and how do they relate to command, option, control, and shit; actually control and shift do make sense because they are standards but not command and option. Here is a big one, how do you control system fonts, with a 27 inch mac set for hi res the fonts are too small. There is some control but it is clunky and behaves inconsistently across the desktop. These are the little things I think apple needs to do to polish up what are consider and pretty darn good OS.

    Great tips on some of the new features. I like the dwell idea for ALS, as that is what I am living with, and can definitely see a benefit to that. Thanks again for that, I'd never known that existed until watching this video. BTW, I emailed you before about my email issue and with the upgrade of the OS, it fixed it. ~ Chris

    Great videos! Would you happen to have a video about capitalizing on using a Mac/iPhone/iPad together? I had a MacBook in college, but I was always an android user. Sold my MacBook, got an iPhone a while later, so I’ve never had them at the same time. Just bought a MacBook Air and I’m excited to see how they talk to each other.

My only concern is the new feature of picture in picture in safari. See, i love to play music on youtube whenever im working on other stuff in my macbook, but if i dont think it stays open everytime the next song plays. Where do i go wrong here? thank you sooo much and more power to you and your staffs!

    Not this particular one but yes many of your videos have opened up my use of shortcuts with my MacBook Pro 2015. I was a Mac user back when the Macintosh came out but my employer had pc's so I wound up down that road. When widows 10 came out it stated my pc was compatible, "Not" so I tried to have the widows store install it they gave me a bunch of bull so Looked over my shoulder and there it was a bright big apple logo so here we are, nice channel by the way. Funny conclusion to the story was when I got my Mac home I loaded the widows 10 ISO to a thumb drive from my Mac and bam it loaded right up on my pc!

    David, I've never used Mac's mail app b/c I only have web-based accounts (Gmail & Yahoo). I made the mistake of giving it a try and Mail connected with my accounts so now my Mac is full of hundreds of thousands of emails & their attachments! At least in Yahoo mail, I can click on the little search icon and easily find messages from the same sender, but there's no such feature in Mail! The articles I've found online and in Help say to enter search operators. This seems awfully laborious if I want to find and delete large numbers of emails at the same time. I also tried sorting by attachments, so I could get rid of the largest files first, but that doesn't seem to work. I did a Spotlight search and have managed to find and delete messages directly from their folders in Finder. But that's still excruciatingly slow. Any advice?
