Thanx for you good videos - most of the tipps are known, but you present them in a good and understandable way, so it's good to share them with others. The link you shared only gives a 3 month "for free" period, but not the 82% off... Do I have to use a code or somethin to activate the special rate?
Just got the M2 Air a couple days ago, it's my first Mac ever. The detailed brightness and volume control and double tap to drag are the best tips I have gotten from any TH-cam video ever, seriously thank you. The difference between the levels is just way too big imo and double tap to drag is just what I’m used to on Windows, it was VERY hard to live without before stumbling across this video
Ok you mentioned that your ISP can see everything you do online, so you use a VPN. First, all sites now use SSL, which encrypts the traffic between your device and the site you're visiting. Your ISP cannot see your private information. They just know where you're going. A VPN would technically hide the site you're visiting, but then instead of giving the data to your ISP, you're giving it to the VPN provider. Personally I trust iCloud Private Relay way more than I do a VPN provider and I trust my ISP more than a VPN provider as well.
Technically that is true, but is dependant on the VPN provider. I recommend people do their research and consider a reputable provider that has a no-logging policy and are also independently audited.
Best tip for me was the image conversation right there in Finder. How have I not know it exists? I’ve been using online apps to batch compress images. Thanks for the tips! 👊
Regarding F3 and cmd+F3: If you’re using a trackpad (say on a MacBook) you can also just swipe up with three fingers to get the window overview. If you do a “pinch-out” (like zooming out) gesture with five fingers you swipe all open windows to the side. No need for button combinations or hot corners
Hello Proper Honest Tech! Great Mac tips! Always love to hear them! I just have one tip for the PiP window: Once you enter Picture-in-a-picture mode, you can drag the PiP window around the screen while holding the ‘command’ key. This will allow you to position the PiP window anywhere on the screen you wish….instead of just in the corners.
1. A 3 finger swipe up on the track pad will also show all open windows in a desktop. 2. Hot Corners (swiping a mouse into any corner of a screen) can activate a multitude of useful functions I use regularly. 3. You can have MULTIPLE desktops on a mac. That 3 finger up swipe will reveal that feature at the top of the screen where you can add new desktops to reduce clutter. You can assign different desktops to different tasks, etc. If you use more than one monitor, those desktops can divide between the two monitors. A 3 finger swipe to the left or right will shift you into a new desktop. 4. Most people know this but Command + tab will toggle back and forth between the last two programs used. So if you're shuffling between a spreadsheet and a website, it keeps you from hunting or clicking in windows.
This video popped into my feed this morning, and sure enough my wife needed help adding a signature to a document today. And guess what, Remote Connection works!!!!! Thanks so much for this video.
Wow. I’ve been a Mac user for 16 years and I’m a pro…yet, I always seem to learn new tricks from your videos. I had NO IDEA that you could customize your System Preferences, nor did I know “screen sharing” existed! Were these added recently or have they always been there?
Your channel has been so helpful! As a brand-new user of a MacBook Pro, moving from a Windows PC, I have been devouring your videos. Thank you so much,and keep them coming! Cheers from Texas. 🤠
With the 3 finger drag option you said in your 1st tip once you have touched the window you want to move with 3 fingers it will carry on moving with 2 until you tap again.
The transition to the advertisement is so smoooothhh!!! I swear I was more likely to watch the add it didn’t feel odd or extra for this video but rather complementary and essential!!
Accessibility is the Mac’s hidden gem. I park a shortcut to it in my Dock on every Mac I own. The settings there are often less intuitive than the mainstream ones, yet very powerful.
I have just switched to Mac from Windows, and unfortunately windows is much better than accommodating, visually impaired users. When does of the feature call scale and you can scale? These are interface without it looking blurry. This is not possible on Mac. May Allah (S.W.T.) guide you and bestow upon you His Blessings; Ameen. # F R E E P A L E S T I N E
Thank you for all your awesome videos! You have helped me learn so much about my new iPhone and Mac air laptop as these are my first Apple products. Love your content 💜
Trackpad - you can even click and hold with your thumb... and then use your other fingers do move around, and you can use multiple fingers to swipe left/right pages or screens, or even access 'hot corners' to expose the desktop, etc.. No need for 'three finger drag'
This might be your best video of them all. Here I thought I knew a lot about my Mac and your video disproved that immediately. PIP-I have been curious for months why that icon was there and never thought to right click and use the icon properly. Letter accents-Why did I not know this already? 👏🏼 Easily convert images-Thank you so much. What a quick and safer way to get this task done System preferences-Thank you for telling me how to reorganize these. I quickly sorted them alphabetically. 👍🏻 Looking forward to your next Mac tips video-CONGRATS!
Great video, I am new to Mac about 7 months new. I really like how you have put tips in here I have not seen, I have been watching Mac tips a lot sense I got my Macbook Air. Thank you for sharing.
Use 2 hands for dragging. I put my left index finger on the trackpad and use my right index finger to move it. Super easy and better than 3 finger drag when moving files around from one side of the screen to the other especially when using an external monitor.
Absolutely brilliant video very useful… have you tried putting your iPad and Mac together you can then use your iPad as a seconded screen. Control iPad from your Mac key pad ! Thank you.
Extremely useful and helpful video, it truly honors the "Proper Honest Tech" name, not clickbait(y) in any way, just very helpful and informative. Cheers!
with the command f3 tip, you can also make all apps disappear from your screen by doing a pinch out with all your fingers on the trackpad (if you have that function enabled in your trackpad settings).
That screen sharing option will be super helpful.. my mother in law always has questions for her MacBook air. That's the one tip I never knew existed! Appreciate the info!
Love your videos mate. Clean, succinct, organised, simple. Been using Apple tech forever and always learning something new from you. Thank you. Nice work💯
Hey man, just wanted to say this is actually helpful, youtube is choke full of tips and tricks videos, but here are some very obscure stuff that I did not know about! truly quality content, cheers!
6:00 oh dang! I love that one. I was thinking about exactly this after getting my new MacBook Pro 14 2 weeks ago. The screen is just so bright, that the incremental adjustments are significant, and I was wishing they'd added more granularity to it for these machines. Of course you can do it in control center with the slider, but who has time for that :)
do I need to use a Mac cleaner for my laptop? if yes does apple have a built in one? or do I have to install an app for it? thanks! your videos are much appreciated

Right!? It must be somewhat new or something tho because I just went to show my wife on hers & it wasn’t there 😂

That 3 finger drag is pure gold. Thanks man

Outstanding! Something for everyone here- from new users looking for faster productivity, or seasoned users looking for enhanced functionality.

Wow - never knew about picture-in-picture. This is going to save me a lot of window switching!
Your videos are so helpful. Thank you!
Game changing, I particularly love the three finger drag! :)
PIP and customizing system preferences were new to me. Thanks!
This video popped into my feed this morning, and sure enough my wife needed help adding a signature to a document today. And guess what, Remote Connection works!!!!! Thanks so much for this video.

love videos like this. Macs have SO many little things that are game changers
Screen sharing…mind blown!!! I have that exact same parental use case, can’t wait to try this next time.
Does this screen sharing protocol ONLY work MacOS to MacOS vs MacOS to iOS? Just tried going across platforms and didn't seem to work.
Loved it. There were some tips unknown to me. Thankyou!
With the 3 finger drag option you said in your 1st tip once you have touched the window you want to move with 3 fingers it will carry on moving with 2 until you tap again.
The transition to the advertisement is so smoooothhh!!! I swear I was more likely to watch the add it didn’t feel odd or extra for this video but rather complementary and essential!!
That letter accents tip.... WOW!!!
I never knew about cleaning up System Preferences. I hid several preferences I never use. THANKS!
Came across your channel today. Thank you! I now feel I can use my Mac . You rock.
So… that was very helpful! Thanks! 👍👍👍

Hey man,
just wanted to say this is actually helpful, youtube is choke full of tips and tricks videos, but here are some very obscure stuff that I did not know about! truly quality content, cheers!
Excellent. Some I knew and use such as three finger drag. Others I hadn’t come across and will need to make a note of them to try out very soon.
Just bought myself a MacBook Air 2020 M1 and found these tips so helpful, especially the 3 finger drag! So much easier. Thank you.

Mac Shortcuts is really good. I use it a lot.
Really helpful tips. Without you I wouldn’t likely have discovered any of these on my own. Thank you.
The file format change is just what i have been looking for

Of course you can do it in control center with the slider, but who has time for that :)
same here, the lowest bright adjustment was still to bright and I had no idea how to step in between
Thanks a lot, great video. What if I want remote access on a second Mac I own, located in a different place, but with the same Apple ID (mine)?
do I need to use a Mac cleaner for my laptop? if yes does apple have a built in one? or do I have to install an app for it?
thanks! your videos are much appreciated
Great tips, mate.
such a great help!
Great stuff! Cheers
