Loved this video! I left the apple world for quite a few years, but recently picked up and iphone and M2 air for the ecosystem, and this was a nice refresher on how everything works. Couldn't be happier with the decision to switch back to Apple stuff from Linux.
I also really, really love that Apple pushes you to use FileVault by default. I'm skeptical of some of Apple's practices, but it's pretty clear to me that out of all the other massive companies, they care the most about privacy.

Buying a nearly new Refurbished M! Mac this week. It's been a long time since I set up my MacBook Pro and 27-inch iMac. This is the clearest video of what to do that I was looking for. Thank you.
I just recent got my first ever Mac book m3 and this video is so helpful thank you so much its been a long time since I had my own laptop but usually it always windows not a MacBook (but lucky I have Apple ID already from my iPhone ofc) thank you so much for helping me setting up my laptop this was really amazing video for beginners like me and other people as well 🙂
Thank you so much for this video, I have only ever used IPad, so I didn’t know how to start using my new MacBook Air . I have watched a few videos about this , but none are as clear , thorough and easy to follow as yours, so thank you very much .
Hi, as one just bought into the Mac world (after [x - fill in x!] years as a PC user), this was very helpful. My new and first MBA (a M2 version) arrives tomorrow so I shall be setting it up with your tutorial as guidance. Thank you.
Bro can u reply me like..in my new mac after selecting english when i am clicking to that errow it's not responsing anything .. I am unable to go to next step
Hi, I get this question often. Some time ago I did a comparison video on the M1 and the same conclusions here: if you go for portability and battery life, go for the Air, if you go for performance the M1 Pro is the one. For most people the M1Air, or the M2Air for that matter is the better value proposition
I went through all of this when I set up my new Mac Book Air, yesterday. It did not copy all of my contacts and none of my apps from my 9th generation IPad. It also did not copy my one movie from my ipad. My iPad is running IOS 18.2 and my Mac is running 15.2 Sequoia. How do I get my apps over to my MAC? I need Amazon, Ebay, TH-cam, etc. .
Thank you so very much for this very clearly presented and practical video. It’s helped me so much as I am about to purchase a new MacBook. Cheers from New Zealand.
I recently purchased the M2 and I must say altho I've had an iphone for years, it's tough switching from windows to apple entirely. But your video did help a lot ☺️
Got my new Mac. After I did the thumbprint ID it took me to the sign in. So I didn't get to finish following your great tutorial. Where do I go to update phone numbers, email addresses? It is using a very old address. Where is my profile to make the updates?
Just a suggestion. I just recieved a laptop. A single click is not working.even multiple clicks were responding late. Chat gpt told me to first complete the setup and then go to system setting and remove force click settings. Now the laptop is running fine in a single click.
Thank you for tips, my new MacBook Pro m2 when I open the power it’s not on but I connected with charging it’s working good is it ok? Please I need help.
A lot of these commands are exactly the same in Windows. What I find is if you were a “power user” in Windows mostly everything you knew translates to Mac.
You know all that swiping your are doing with the trackpad would you be able to achieve the same function with a mouse because im getting a mac mini m2 pro and using the magic mouse
At the Apple ID section, I assume that is your iCloud account and not your iTunes account? The password you talked about, is that the one for opening up the Mac when you switch it on and not the iCloud password? I’ve always migrated over to any new Mac’s but on this occasion I have a new MacBook Pro M2 14” that I’m setting up as a new Mac to work alongside my Mac mini M1 but I want to use both my iCloud and iTunes accounts.
I got a used MacBook from a college resource. Do I have to fully charge it before it turns on cuz I plugged it in and tried just turning it on and didn’t turn on
EXCELLENT video! Haven’t had a Mac in years. Switching back and this was VERY useful! And thank you for going fast enough that it wasn’t painful to watch, but slow enough that I was able to comprehend and feel like I understood what settings work for me!
What i realize is the commands are quite similar to using windows shortcuts. Very informative video. Was looking into a mac for video editing even tho i have a gaming laptop already. Need a laptop i dont have to plug in to get max performance
Iv just purchased the same computer but I don't have the iPhone I had anymore it shows my old phone in a picture but I can enter the code cause I don't have the phone anymore
Thank you for the video. I did pick up my M2 today and I am really loving it. Coming from using windows and a chrome book. This is way easier for me. Glad I made the decision to get this today.
Hello, I have a question... not a mac user yet soon to be Is admin password or installer password are same which we created in initial setup ? Hoping for your reply, thanks❤

Currently watching this on my MacBook
Hey bro thanks a lot for this video , was very helpful since I’m new to Mac .Can’t wait for you to upload in depth Mac OS guide!!
Thanks for this video. I don’t know. Which should i buy MacBook M2 Pro or MacBook M2 Air ?
Hi, I get this question often. Some time ago I did a comparison video on the M1 and the same conclusions here: if you go for portability and battery life, go for the Air, if you go for performance the M1 Pro is the one.

In the Command Tab app switcher you can also press Q while in there to close windows without opening them.
I went through all of this when I set up my new Mac Book Air, yesterday. It did not copy all of my contacts and none of my apps from my 9th generation IPad.
