This was THE most educational video about the touchbar I've seen. Everyone is shelling out snap judgements about it without talking about power-user features. If I can customize this thing this early in its life cycle, I'm super happy.
yes, exactly, this touch bar is amazing. Honestly I think other companies are really upgrading their products and keeping their prices low, so people think that by bashing a product to get it to reduce price, but apple won´t care and people will still buy apple. I love it.
1:10 I like that you can adjust brightness and volume in "one fell swoop." I've seen dozens of review videos and some reviewers did not know this-- some, of which, even labeling it as a con for needing a two-step process to adjusting these settings.
Darren Isomoto 3-step. They thought you need to activate, adjust, dismiss
I am terribly late, but tbh it looks like you have to do that with 2 steps. If the slider appeared under your finger instead of the middle it would be much much easier to notice.
Have they done anything on the NOKIA Phones. What changes have been to upgraded version
Darren Isomoto omg what should i do if i had slider and now I CAN’T USE IT because except that I have only buttons on touch bar
you can also just flick the slider icon and the volume will go up or down if you slide right or left
My favorite one is skipping TH-cam ads with Touch Bar.
Use adblock...
do you know who else makes lots of money??
tin foil companies!!
How
Nice, you use Touchbar? I use add blocker... and I kept 3 grand in my pocket!
do u even have 3 grand? i think not
Tips:
You can actually skip any youtube ads u want
hehe yeah noticed it too 🤣
WHAT??!??!?! Please, change my life, senpai! Tell me how?
@@nikolalutov8898 when the ad starts you use it to scrub it enough that you can click skip this ad while watching less than a second. note that this only works with safari since other browsers don't have proper support for this Touch Bar feature
@@falcy2889 I will drink to you, my friend! Cheers!
@@nikolalutov8898 Cheers! 😂🤣
I got my first touch bar MacBook yesterday (the M1) and I LOVE it! It is a huge upgrade from my 2012 MBP! The touch bar is such a cool, unique addition and it makes the laptop way more enjoyable to use, and it speeds up certain things as well. These tips are really useful, thank you! :D
"After 60 seconds, you'll notice it dim like this... Like this... Like... this?"
Loved that part
me too
hahahaha me too 😂😂
I was like "any min now" 😆

I LOVE IT when you're using powerpoint or pdf presentation, the touchbar shows you the slides!
I wish everyone had a tutorial that is as clean and simple and this. WELL DONE!
The touchbar is really powerful than expected. We just have to learn how to use it. Great video !
Yup
It is really powerful than expected. XD
@@theojackson. 😐
Thanks! I should be getting my new 13" Pro with Touch Bar in like 9 hours so I am looking forward to using all these tips.
النااهتااا
By far the most amazing feature of touch bar is you can skip ads in TH-cam and any other streaming service no more annoying 2 minutes ads on hulu or TH-cam i just have to swipe to fast forward
This video completely changed my mind about the touchbar. I was hating it and wondered "Why the heck did I get this?" Now I love it. THANK YOU.
Terrific video. Clear, clean delivery of helpful info, loved it and subscribed.
rip touch bar in 2021 macbook
The tap and slide tip makes the touch bar experience way better and quicker. I don't know what i would without this channel. Thanks!
ich finde es richtig nice das sie das Video auf 4k bieten
Another tip is if your MacBook is locked and but the screen is showing (on) if you swipe with your finger from left to right on the touch bar the screen will turn black instead of you waiting like for 5 mins for it to do it automatically :)
Thank you I just got a new laptop and this video is very helpful.
Great tutorial. I had no clue my new MBP could do all those things with the TouchBar
Best Review for the new Touchbar so far. Really thank you.
Just bought my Macbook Pro 2020, unboxing was a treat...new features makes life so much easier
6:29 voice wtf moment
I've changed my mind, I used to think the touch bar was a gimmick but it actually seems pretty useful.
This video sold the touch bar to me far more than Apple did in their release conference. Still wont buy one though lol.
I was told to hate it when it first came along in 2016, being mocked as the "emoji bar". I now use it a lot for the macOS screen recorder for education video making on which the bar displays the duration & stop button while giving me the add-ons for Preview, the program being recorded. Moreover, I enjoy using the word-correction function & suggested emojis with the apps-specific functionality. Tons of people here on TH-cam swallow what others spit.
this was really educational! my macbook is coming in a couple of days and and now i’m not completely clueless 😅 thank you!
I have been wondering about customizing the touchbar for each app. This answered my question. Thanks!
Thanks for these very specific but definitely helpful tips. I bought a Macbook Pro for college recently & at the time of writing this, there’s 18 days left for it to arrive. I’ve been sitting in my bed watching Macbook videos for hours just fantasizing...
Imma miss the good old Touch Bar. Was going to upgrade it to the M3 Pro
Same here. That's the closest we ever got to having a touch screen feel of the MacBook.
Touchbar is the coolest thing. I thought it was overrated until I started using mine!
Thank you so much!!! I got so nervous, because I didn't get how to remove icons from the touch bar at first... you really saved me!
I love the Touch Bar and use it all the time. So much better then the physical keys of my old laptop
Very useful as preperation for when mine arrives! Thank you!
Very helpful tutorial. Thank you for your clear explanations. I bought a MacBook Pro about a year ago and had no idea of all of the possibilities. Thank you!
Just got the mac pro yoooo its carzy I'm mean it does every thing for like Configures everything for small touch bar Anything you put on the screen configures to the small touch bar amazing a must have device
Me, a dominican... watching you ask Siri the time in Santo Domingo... those little details hahahah love it
Other than the pricing of the models with a Touchbar, the Touchbar itself is freaking amazing. I got one with a touchbar, but I only spent a grand for a 256gb model so yes, It is worth it at that price. Definitely not worth 1500 though.
excellent implementation of a feature that appears to be gimmicky. great video. .
Asdfghjkl Qwertyuiop confusing reply
savedfaves lol, edited now.
What usb-C cable do you use?
Great channel. Thanks! Scrubber doesn't work on Google Chrome, unless I am missing something.
I'm a first time Mac user (I'm getting one this week 😆) and this video helped SO much! Thanks!
ofc after two years I realize that I can customize my touch bar lol. thx tho
you can also skip TH-cam ads with the media scrubber.
Amazing video
Thank you this helped me so much
تةةاتتاات
great video wow
I'm getting a MBP 13" + Touch Bar in January.
Also, subscribed! Thank you so much for reminding me! XD
Touch Bar, your friendly neighborhood watering hole where patrons are encouraged to be frisky.
I love some of your tricks. I have a 2018 Macbook Pro and the Esc function to the left of the Esc key on the touchbar doesn't always work once the touchbar goes to sleep. That is, when the touchbar goes to sleep, I can sometimes tap on the very end of the touch bar to get the esc key to work. Sometimes it doesn't. I have tried this watching videos on full screen. Sometimes that esc feature (when touchbar is in sleep mode) would work to get out of full screen mode, sometimes it won't. Are you experiencing this? Do you know how to fix this?
it looks cool how music playback works. I hope having to press the "iTunes" logo in order to pause my music won't get annoying after a while. I love that it works with youtube now! awesome :)
Rest in peace touch bar
You can still get it on the M1 13 inch MacBook Pro.
Why
Really helpful - thanks!
do a best dongles guide
Thanks TH-cam for recommending tips for an obsolete technology. Looking forward to the top 10 VHS cassette recorder recommendations.
Great video. You done better at promoting the touchbar more than Apple did. 👍
I love this that is direct demo to the keyboard
Thank you soo much. I was just fiddling around and see what will come up. That save me a lot of times and the frustrations.
After seeing this video I have one thing clear in my mind, and that is to get a Touch Bar enabled MacBook Pro as there are many ways Touch Bar can get handy and it will.
are you getting the 15-inch version?
Excited to learn. Just received my new Pro about an hour ago. Replacing a '13 Retina display Pro.
Just awesome video for me thanx for uploading this video
Thanks Jeff!! I'm trying to decide what to get and this really helped!
I wish they could add another line for the touchbar instead of replacing the function keys. That way they could add the dock icons to the touch bar and many more advance options.
Soundcloud and tidal are also working with touch bar like it working with iTunes?
Apple has managed to take something so practical and intuitive and make it unnecessarily complicated. Not difficult, but there's more steps to do half of things which were previously always available
Mohammad Almtab yeah mate I don't doubt it'll be better in the future, especially with all the negativity that's syrrounded it. It's no surprise they've already released betas of New features. But at present it seems counterintuitive. They should've tried to get it right on release.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you❤️
Don't have a macbook pro, but still fun to watch
Thanks
hey why you chose santo domingo? are you dominican!?
Has anyone realized they brought back the control strip from MAC OS 9???
RedLight GreenArrow lol, really? :)
Touchbar is the best recent apple innovation imo
I need your help please. How Can I customize the touch id button for restart/sleep mode just like windows. For instance if I press it once I want to put my mac into sleep. I searched everywhere but nobody seems to know. Is that even possible?
I don’t understand why people are whining about the touchbar. It’s an amazing integration to the keyboard
Honestly I just got a M1 MacBook Pro 13 a few days ago and I love the Touch Bar! I don’t know why everyone is complaining about it! If you don’t want to use it just turn it off!
Thanks for this video! Very informative.
Good job Dude! Just got my new MBP w Touchbar and this jump started me!
Amazing and unique video!
How come I don't see the extra button in the touch bar?? at 6:19
Great tutorial. Clear and to the point. Thanks 9to5Mac!
Funny how theverge was reporting that you had to do 2 taps for the sliders and what a pain it was. If they only bothered learning how to actually use the thing.
I bought a MacBook Pro 2016 model few days ago. I simply love it. It is easy to use. Especially the terminal(shell) allows you to do so many things, that they take so much time to do in Windows. For example to produce in my web app an SSL key for https requests,in windows you have to download openSSL and pray to make it work. In MAC it is a matter of minutes. At some point I want to get deep into iOS development,but at the moment i am really busy with Android and Node js Development.
هل ما زلت توصي باستخدام شريط اللمس الى الآن ؟
You answered all my questions.....Thank you very much
Excellent tank you !
can somebody help me ? I updated my macbook pro yesterday (10.15.2) and now when I'm using touch bar, it need to load, like it showing on both touch bar screen and mac screen. Is it something wrong with my mac or can I close that setting?
Is there any way to make permanent a particular touch bar? for example, I want to have fixed the zoom touch bar independently I move amongst other full screen applications.
I just purchased the 2017 MacBook pro with the touchbar and i was like "there has to be a faster way to control the volume and brightness" and now here i am.
final cut pro trial
The media scrubber is not available in Google Chrome :(
I was about to write that. Disappointed. Apple vs Google. Get over it you two.
Guys, what is wrong with Safari?
I have a that computer but when i go into windows my touchbar is off please help me solve this
My main criticism of the Touchbar is a physical one. Much of my laptop usage is overnight when trying to rest. Pretty much horizontal in bed I used to adjust the volume (of TH-cam vids) by touch and not needing sight - using the edges of the keys to feel where I was. Can't do that now.
People use tabs or phones not laptops in bedroom
Have they taken away the persistent media scrubber? it doesn't seem to be working with the latest update
You helped me get my backlit keyboard lit back up... Thx
The media controls got me very interested. Does it work with any media playback app like VLC, Vox or Spotify as well? Meaning, can I switch between the app currently playing media, change tracks and so on?
Daniel Anderson Tiecher it works with VLC and Spotify not sure about Vox
I know Apple does an estimate of 4-5 weeks of shipping, but can anyone confirm if they have received their laptops earlier?
Thank you :)
They should add like when you are using a browser the touch bar displays your tabs
Thanks for this helpful video. I just got a new Mac Book Pro 2017 and it's slightly disorienting. The touch bar somehow switched to a different option with the slider feature for brightening or dimming the screen. I cannot figure out how to return to that mode. Secondly, is there a way to make the touchpad less sensitive as it makes the cursor jumps all over the screen. I have to use an external keyboard with bluetooth to avoid it skipping all over the screen. I'd appreciate your tips.
really help me with how to adjust my touch bar! thanks !
The easiest way I've found to adjust the volume is to touch & hold the volume symbol, then rotate your finger CW or CCW to increase or decrease the volume
Like Thisss?? lol thanks for the video
thank you!! really helpful
