![[4K] TREASURE(트레저) “KING KONG” Band LIVE Concert 킹콩은 라이브를 찢어🦍 [it’s KPOP LIVE 잇츠라이브]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/p8bLLOxPDD8/mqdefault.jpg)
Thank you everyone for the tips. It’s exciting that the laptop is even better than I thought. I’ll test all this stuff out.
I almost switched to the M1 Pro 14 inch , If you use parallels on it , all the windows quirks will be available. The PC will become a functioning hybrid , definitely try parallels.
Now , I sent away the 14" Macbook Pro , I bought a legion laptop ,
It's windows and they look like a sophisticated laptop rather than a gaming racecar.
I just got a MacBook Air M1 now and rock both of them.
I carry the Air while on the go (sports , swimming) and use the legion while at settled spots.
You should totally try parallels! And iMessage forwarding is available in settings , let me know if it has worked out.
I text with android all the time on my Mac
Quick tip: Settings>Messages>Text Message Fowarding. Then you’ll be able to receive/answer messages from android phones from your Mac
*From your iPhone settings
im sure this you’ve heard this by now already but you know about text message forwarding ? That will send all text messages to your mac ipad ect
You can setup iMessage to show and send normal texts as well. It just happens to do it via your connected iPhone in the background.
Yep. I get ALL my texts on my Mac Mini and love it. Be sure you are hooked up right!
This absolutely true. I do the same.
Yep. I do, too, and you even get auto-fill suggestions for all those codes.
Yeah he just needs to set that feature on his. It’s a pain for an idiot like myself but I figured it out eventually.
It’s just weird cause you have to do it from your phone. SMS forwarding
I LOVE that you gave both your positive and negative thoughts on this machine. I hate when people only say the positives because it's obvious they're leaving things out just to hype it up. I appreciate the honesty.
I am Mac user but I like how he addresses macOS problems that has been bugging most of the users for decades
Hello there! I was wondering if you might be able to help me out. As a student trying to learn coding, I'm currently unable to afford a laptop. If you have a spare one lying around that you're not using, I would be extremely grateful for the opportunity to put it to good use.
This is exactly the kind of content I was looking for. The frustration of trying to trade 20 years of PC experience on Mac is truly mind blowing.
That's because you haven't learned the OS yet. Give it a chance.
Don't make the mistake of making it feel like Windows.
This video convinced me to stick with Windows. So no MacBook for me. I'm not a creator so I don't need a super powerful laptop. I've used iMac and I definitely prefer Windows. I can't speak for others but it's a lot easier and faster for me to do anything in Windows than in macOS.
@@n1lev MacBooks are essentially chromebooks that can edit photos and video extremely well. Other than that I would get a windows laptop but I want something really good for on the go editing. I’m a windows main btw :)
@@ItzSlushie Wouldn't go so far as to say it is a Chromebook. That is like saying Linux is ChromeOS.
@@n1lev This video was made by a man who never bothered to learn OS. Mac is not a PC.
There’s definitely a setting to get SMS on the Mac. In safari, it even auto suggests the code from the text, so you just click that. The only downside is it doesn’t mark the text as read.
Also, with Universal Clipboard, you can copy text on your iPhone and paste on the Mac (and vice versa) out of the box. Universal Clipboard is one of macOS’s primary selling points for me.
Yeah you can eneable SMS forwarding and text your android users as well. Texting on my computer is almost my main way to text everybody.
its SMS forwarding. it works
Second that, universal clipboard makes it feel like you have one computer and three input devices from your phone, iPad, and computer!
Yup, I send/receive text messages from my iMac to my friends with Android phones all the time. It's exactly the same as with an iPhone. Also, I get verification phones on both my mac and iPhone. It's seamless.
@@77dris Yeah, its the blue bubble/Green Bubble thing...!!
Enable text message forwarding on your iPhone to see SMS messages on the Mac Messages app. Hide, resize, or move the dock. Use hot corners to organize your apps and windows. In QuickTime, You can record your screen and audio and even chose your mic. In the save window, there’s a tab with recent save locations. You can also enable the full path name in finder. If you’re going to edit 8k in 2022, you should try and use FCP which is optimized for M1 processors. At least until Premier is fully supported.
Beat me to it.
Yeah, I am also amazed on how often people complain because they did not RTFM and simply do not know how to use stuff. Reminds me of youtubers complaining about Sony Alpha menus :)
As far as I know, davinci resolve runs much better than FCP on M1 macs (as ironic as that is). So if it's performance that is the issue, I'd look into that.
Correct me if I'm wrong, though.
Either way, in my personal, biased, opinion... both FCP and davinci resolve are just way better than premiere pro at this point.
There’s also Universal Clipboard so you can copy the code directly from your phone if forwarding isn’t set up
Just jumped on to say the same thing lol
I started my computer life as an Apple user - in the 90s of the last century. I switched to Windows by the end of that decade. My best friend stayed with Apple, and thus I could compare working with Apple and working with Windows for more then nearly 25 years.
Apples are not bad, when you stick to what they can do, when you can accept their price policy, when you have no problem with not being able to modify or improve the computer, when you can live with a quite limited software choice, etc. I personally want to have only one machine for everything: Office work, photo and video editing, streaming, gaming, you name it, and which I can easily modify to meet my needs. With Windows this is possible, with Apple it is not. Thus I'll never switch back to Apple, although those computers are well build and look nice, and the new M-processors are truly impressive.
That's exactly what he used to say. But these M1s are amazing. I bet you would change your minda.
I kind of agree, i think i prefers windows UI/multi-tasking when using multiple monitors + kb/mouse. However, the customisability thing kind of gets flipped over for programmers where mac is almost the most "customisable/versatile" option (can make ios/mac apps/unix system/custom scripts in terminal/better language performance/support/etc.).
@@surfingbilly9654 WSL does all that for me, not needing to dualboot anymore but just using native Linux on my machine. Stability of windows, no graphic driver issues or anything else. I can connect my phone to sync anything. Winget is also very nice and saves me a lot of time. It depends on what you use.
Rightly said
Finder file paths: mark the folder or file of interest and click the "option" key. The full path shows up at the lower finder window and you can directly click on each level to get there. Also a right click then opens a menu allowing for path copy as text and other useful stuff.
you can just show the path bar all the time
you can also just drag folders from finder into the saving dialogue :). it will open the path in the saving dialogue
Ok. So you have the path copied to the transfer zone. But what if you want to go to that path? In Windows, you just paste it into the file path bar...
@@fnonaka Do a copy of the path you want from the Path Bar (which you need to shoe), the Cmd-shift-G, paste the path
@@smplfy that is three command stokes, Cmd-C, Cmd-Shift-G, Cmd-V that's all you do as long as you leave the path bar shown at the bottom of the window, which is just a setting to change and leave like that. Run that sequence a few times and it becomes pretty quick.
A couple things.
1. You can set up your Mac to receive regular SMS and MMS messages in the settings so you can get all of your messages.
2. Use the built-in screenshot/recording application. It works very well.
3. This may be preference, but I have the dock hidden and it allows for more space while still keeping the menu bar visible. Also, you can two-finger click an icon that has multiple windows open to see a list of all of them to choose from.
4. I don't know if you figured it out, but the CMD+X and CMD+V does work. I just tried it out and it moved it for me.
5. I would deep dive into all the shortcuts and hotkeys available for mac on the keyboard and trackpad. There is a ton of awesome things you can do that will just make your life easier. Also, when you swipe three fingers up on the trackpad, you can create multiple desktop views while you're multitasking.
Glad to see you enjoy the Mac! I still use a windows desktop, but have a mac laptop.
In my opinion, the most convenient place for the dock is vertically on the right edge of the screen. I've been using it this way since Mac OS 7.5! On a 16/9 screen, this interferes the least with the useful content of the pages displayed.
Little trick that makes life easier, rather than using the Dashboard, I installed MenuMeters (freeware) which is permanently displayed on the right side of the menu bar and which quickly became essential.
You missed his point. What he’s saying is you can see transfer status of file progress. This is really important when you’re working with really big files, like 100gb-500gb files. Or thousands of files like photos. Both of these are common for photographers. Sometimes you want affirmation of file transfer progress.
Here’s some solutions to a few of the issues you described.
File path Solution:
If you have enabled the path bar enabled in Finder & have the desired directory open in Finder you can click & drag the folder from the path bar in Finder anywhere into the “Save As” dialogue window & bam you’ll instantly be in the same directory.
In addition to that feature, from most application you can also save or move the file you’re currently working with simply by clicking (with slight hold) then dragging the file icon from the title bar of the open file straight into a Finder window where you already have the directory open. So you won’t even need to bother with the Save-As dialogue, it even moves files whilst they’re open.
Text message Solution:
On your iPhone go to Settings, Messages & then “Text Message Forwarding” then enable the MacBook for Text message forwarding.
In addition to that feature, if you use Safari & a site asks for a 2FA code from a text message it will automatically offer the code within safari when the text message arrives.
I noticed that in the video. He started by saying he HATED macOS' file tree system... and then shares a screen where the "Show Path Bar" was enabled.
@@pwramirez 😂 he hasn’t used it long enough to know all the ins and outs of macOS. But it I refreshing to see a die hard windows user switch to apple.
thank you
I was just making sure someone had commented already! @6:11 when he says "it would be his dream"... and life's dream accomplished. Automatic 2FA, text message forwarding and universal cut and paste is one of the primary reasons Apple has my money!
I have been using macOS for 20 years and I learned today about the drag & drop of folder directories into a Save As prompt. I’m so fast with my KB that I just navigate without second thought. Good to know, thank you. Now, I think I know everything there is know about macOS 😄
Fairly new Mac user here but I do love the ecosystem. That said I try to keep a note of some handful of tricks. 10:25 a Finder trick I do is to Show Path Bar. This way I can click through the path to navigate. 10:55 I use a keyboard shortcut to copy pathname from where I want to save a new file (Opt+Right Click then Copy "path" as pathname OR Option+Cmd+C). When I'm in the save dialog box, I just hit Shift+Cmd+G and then paste the pathname. This trick works for me as well with 10:25.
When saving files, the little drop down menu below the file name and tags can be expanded. It will show a few recent locations. Another way to "easily" change a Save window to the folder of your choice, is to drag and drop that specific folder from the finder onto the save window. Yes, I admit, it is odd - but it works.
And finally, you can use the Finder's "Go" menu and select "Go to folder" to paste paths. Not ideal. Sometimes useful.
This dude's mind is going to be blown when he realizes he can forward SMS to his computer, and that it suggests the little codes automatically that get sent when you have to login to your bank, etc.
You've been able to do this on Windows since 2018 with phone link, just most people are not aware its there.
@TS Or Alfred app (even more amazing than regular spotlight). Alfred free version is enough for most people.
I guess it has been so long for me, I didn't know people didn't know they could get SMS in iMessage -- I always get bank confirmation codes and safari sees those and asks if I want to use those codes and fills the box for me.
Is there a series of tutorials you recommend so a new mac user like myself would benefit from? I just ordered my first mac 30 minutes ago and Id love to not be like this guy
@@mattbrew11 I too would be interested in this
You can have sms texts go to your MacBook you just have to enable it on your iPhone. This is from apples website.
1. On your iPhone, go to Settings > Messages.
2. Tap Text Message Forwarding.
Note: If you don’t see Text Message Forwarding, make sure you’re signed in to iMessage using the same Apple ID on both your iPhone and your Mac.
3. Turn on your Mac in the list of devices.
4. If you’re not using two-factor authentication, a six-digit activation code appears on your Mac; enter this code on your iPhone, then tap Allow.
You can put folders you use a lot over in the directory to the left. Just drag them over and put them wherever you want in the list. They also show up in pop-up windows when you save something. So as a Mac user, no, I don't always work my way through subfolders; I use this easy, time-saving method.
why does he look like tom brady but bald
If Tom Brady and Baron Corbin had a baby….
11:04 - If you click on the "13.0" with blue up and arrows you'll get a dropdown list and on there are your last several used folders. It's not perfect, but it's nice when you're using a group of folders for a project.
The trackpad was an unexpected surprise when I first got a Macbook Pro. With my previous windows laptaps, I'd always use a mouse. Now, (unless I'm gaming), I always opt for the trackpad. Also love the ease of swiping between screens/desktops.
All pc laptop trackpads are trash compared to my MacBooks .just saying! An I’ve true May window laptops..glad you got into the Apple system
Mac is smooth in many ways but Windows' 3 finger swipe to switch between windows is the king of multitasking, ever tried it?
ditto
@@MVS_DJGillyGill Trash is maybe a bit too strong, but Apple's are clearly the best in my experience.
@@drchtct Not really compared to Mac. Like on Windows, if you're dragging a file, it will disable gestures, so you cant grab a file and swipe to a different app. Or swipe to another desktop while dragging a file.
Not to mention, the experience is just smoother on Mac, like you can pinch out to expose desktop, grab few files from a folder on desktop, pinch in to bring the windows back, swipe up with 4 fingers to expose all the windows, swipe down to bring a certain window to top and then drop the files, all in fluid motion. All the gestures work together in a streamlined experience whereas in windows the gestures feel like an afterthought and don't work together.
I’m sure it’s already been mentioned but normal text messages work as well. Also when you’re transferring files instead of going to app expose go into the other one where it separates all the files of the same app. Your progress indicator will show up
About the random render times on media encoder, just make sure to select Hardware encoding I notice that in your video at 12:40 it's selected just software encoding which will increse a lot render times, select "custom" on your queue file and select Hardware Encoding under the video section
Quick tips & thoughts, some of which others have mentioned:
1) Cmd-tab to switch between apps, Cmd-tilde to switch between windows in an app (this should bring back a hidden copy dialog)
2) when you mouse over the name of the folder you are in, a folder icon appears. This contains the path to the folder. You can drag the folder icon somewhere that you need that path in text form
3) I think you know about multiple desktops. But just in case you don't, you can set them up for different purposes. One could be your Final Cut or Premiere windows, another could be your email and messages. Potentially less distraction while working. (I do this on Mac and PC, but for PC this is a relatively recent feature)
4) A few game companies have always published their games on Mac along with Windows. Blizzard and Firaxis especially.
5) My Dock is over on the right and auto hides. This gives me a ton more space to get work done.
6) I love "right-clicking" with a two-finger tap. Feels like the way it "should be".
7) Many things can be automated using Automator or the new app Shortcuts. I have not delved deep into this but it's powerful.
8) Usually MacOS save dialogs remember the last folder you were in, not sure what was happening in Premiere.
9) Keep trying Final Cut, as you have time. I hope Adobe is listening to your complaints.
10) Congrats! I'm so happy for you!
CMD-Tilde seems to do nothing for me.
Cmd+Tab only switches between open apps, if you minimised any app, you won't be able to switch to that app with Cmd+Tab :-(
As a former Apple hater, I knew this would happen for you. Once you start using the Apple eco system, and see the amazing performance spike of the Apple silica chipset, it's a no-brainer.
Same here ,shifted to m1 MacBook Air 2 months ago after being on windows since 1995. The apple eco system just works . Not going back to Windows anytime soon
@@indranilchatterjee4492 I now hate windows now, moving to macOS made me realise how it just works; the final straw was when windows update broke my install
Both mac and windows suck lmao
@@indranilchatterjee4492 Same here. Been building my own windows desktops for years, Needed to build a new one, my 1st gen Ryzen motherboard is starting to have bootup issues. I looked at the prices for hardware(not a gamer) it was ridiculous. Bought a Mac mini M1 base model. I've used mac before(MacBook air 2011). Still got my windows desktop, but I find myself using the Mac Mini and finally pulled the plug on my windows machine.
@@meowcat5596 using Linux doesn't means you're cool lmao.
You can definitely have iMessage show normal text messages on your Mac, works for me. I think the use case where notifications might not work is if you have an app that sends you notifications to acknowledge instead of using text messages. But if you are using text messages to receive confirmation codes or one time passwords, it does work on the Mac, you can see and respond to all text messages.
If you want to save a file to a specific location on your Mac and have that folder open in Finder, you can just drag and drop the folder from Finder to the applications Save dialog box. It’s not exactly like copying file paths, but I think it works quite well.
Pro tip 1: If you're navigated to a folder in the finder, you can drag and drop it into the save/open to instantly nav to that folder. No clipboard needed.
Pro tip 2: If you're saving a file, and want to open a finder window of the folder you're saving to, use cmd + R in the save window.
Pro tip 3: Right click a file, and hold down option to change "copy" to "copy as pathname."
This made macOS sooo much more productive for me. Not intuitive, but I actually like it better than copy/pasting a path.
Mousers talking about productivity... lol
My all time favourite is tapping the space bar to view inside an icon/file. Then using the arrows to move through files, photos etc. Saves heaps of time not having to click on the file type to open it but still being able to have a glimpse of the file/photo etc. I use this constantly.
my God, thanks for letting us know, this is gold :)
As someone who's thinkin about making the switch this is a very informative, well put together video of the differences. Thank you man.
You've had the exact same experience as me. Hardware-wise, there's nothing that compares. OS has annoyances you eventually get used to, and they stop bothering you as much. I stayed with it as well. Great video, btw.
FYI: Macs and iPhones have a universally synced clipboard, so if you copy the website MFA code on your iPhone you can hit paste on your Mac and it’ll paste the number. No need to re-type it!
If you use Safari and forward SMS it’ll even auto fill.
Not only that but also photos and images.
Cmd+Q to quit apps
Cmd+W to close (I use this a lot for web browsing, to close tabs or window)
Cmd+T to open new tabs (in finder, chrome)
Cmd+~ to swap between window on the same app (i.e finder to find the progress bar, or chrome to find another window tabs)
Cmd+ctrl+space for emoji
I recently purchased a Mac Studio and everything you said is so right. I had a Macbook Pro M1 (2020 model) up until I bought the Mac Studio and it only ever struggled when I tried rendering HEAVY 3D photomosaics. When I purchased that laptop I didn't want to like it, but it had been recommended after I was unable to get a windows equivalent for under $2,000 that was even half decent at being a laptop. I ended up -like you said- "falling in love" with that thing, and now I'm completely immersed in the Apple ecosystem. There is plenty of room to improve MacOS, and I also hate the application dock, but it's just so good for everything else. Thanks for a great video! You've reignited my desire to edit and create videos of my own.
Double click on the window TITLE makes full screen that you want.
Also double click on any side of the window (or corner) expands it to the end of screen
Probably already been said, but...remember the "Window" menu in Finder! That's how you can reveal the Copy progress window if it gets covered up. No need to initiate a 2nd copy to make it visible.
Regarding the dock, go to system preferences > Dock & menu bar > deselect the “minimize windows into application icon” , this way any application you have open will be featured in the dock separately, even if it’s multiple windows of the same application.
but then how can you view two separate windows that are under the same application?
Not sure if these were already mention in the over 3500 comments but I will through them out anyway. 2 Tips - #1. Try Command Tab. It will show you what is running. You can hit Command Tab repeatedly to scroll through the applications and select the one you wish to goto. #2 In the System Preferences under Dock & Menu bar settings there is an option to "Minimize window into application ion". Then when you go to the dock and click and hold on the application it will pop up a window and at the top will be a list all the windows open for that application and you just select the window you wish. This also cuts down on the cutter in the Dock.
I concur. I got the basic 16" M1 Pro with 16GB RAM and it has been amazing so far. Next level battery, fans never turn on, it crushes my Sony a7iv 10 bit footage and handles big Lightroom projects with ease. I see no reason to get another computer at the moment.
I watched your other videos when i was contemplating getting an M1. I got mine shortly after for music production and can honestly say: Once you get past the different controls and gestures to get around, it’s an amazing experience. Mac has the best stock sound drivers in the game and everything I do is just so snappy like you said. I will point out that non-Apple software does tend to have issues. I use FL Studio and sometimes doing something as simple as hitting a note on my midi keyboard at the same time as the playback button will completely freeze up the entire program. However, aside from some incompatibilities, I can 100% understand why so many people swear by Apple machines now. It just works.
@Vic LTD yeah 8gb is just not enough these days
I went cheap with storage though. I got 512gb since i already have a few hard drives for my pc
@Vic LTD Yeah I have a monster pc but i spend a lot of time away from home and the macbook just made sense for me. I wanted something powerful and reliable that won’t give me issues 3 years down the line like with some windows laptops. I know some pretty big producers here in LA that still use old macbooks from like 2013 lol
@@rtyprty has FL Studio 20.9 brought about better compatibility with Mac OS? Do you find when opening FL Studio through Rosetta you're getting sufficient compatibility across any VST's that you use?
You got the Pro right?
10:54 - You simply can drag any folder that u want to the left side bar to make your workflow smoother.
I’m glad you’ve enjoyed your experience (for the most part). I’ve been using a Mac for the last 5 years and I love it. I find them so useful and user friendly while accomplishing everything I need. I used windows for the first 21 years of my life and wow when I got my MacBook Pro I finally understood what I was missing out on.
I love MacOS. Universal Clipboard, the ability to rename files as you work on them, to more intuitively save documents as a pdf, universal control, sidecar with an iPad, airdrop, a universal system for sharing passwords, Wi-Fi info, and Bluetooth devices, and the sheer amount of useful keyboard shortcuts is truly unrivaled. Ya macOS has weird software glitches sometimes but overall it is so usable. Ya the window management isn’t great but there are apps you can download for free to make the Mac app windows work like Windows apps so that issue is fixed pretty quick.
I can’t wait for my preordered M2 Air to arrive!
6:20 I actually see all my text messages in the messages app on my Mac, regardless if it was iMessage or not. I see login codes, shipping updates, and regular text from non iPhones. So it is definitely possible, might be your settings.
“Close to being perfect” it’s been perfect for years 😂
Yeah, this works for me as well, you just need to have an iphone and sync your messages with the icloud. I think it's even possible to pick up phone calls on mac.
@@roberthada8217 Yes you can pick up and make phone calls on the Mac
It will even suggest to fill in the codes in safari. you need to go to setting in your phone to Messages>Text Messages Forwarding, then select your mac
You can 100% reply to all texts through iMessage on macOS. You'll need to enable your phone number and iMessage account in Messages.There is then a setting on your phone to called Text Message Forwarding -> basically allows your iPhone text messages to be sent from other devices. I also turn on iCloud Messages so my messages are in sync on everything.
As an alternative to the Start Menu, you can add a clickable shortcut, in pop-up menu form, to the Applications folder (or any other folder, for that matter, and even saved searches, which means you can even add custom recent files and/or applications stacks), on the right-hand side of the Dock, between the rightmost separator and the Trash. It’s endlessly customizable, but if you want something vaguely Classic Start Menu-looking (think *really* old-school, as in Windows 95-levels of vintage), just right-click it and pick “Display as Folder” and “Open as Menu”.
You can have as you already surmised multiple tabs in a Finder window.
When I'm working on a project, I just keep a tab to each location I'm using open, and if I want to copy a file or folder from one tab to another I just drag to the destination tab, move the mouse pointer a few pixels, and the contents of the destination tab opens and I drop the file/folder where I want.
Hi,
Long time Mac (and Windows) here and I have a few tips that might cover some of the OSX things that you expressed frustration with. I'm not sure if others have covered these things.
- To find the path of the folder that you are >currently< in, right click (with a mouse) or control-click (which is the same as right click) with your trackpad on the name of the folder that you are in at the top of the finder window. You can then select a higher hierarchical level. That will give you the full path to the location on the HD that you are currently.
You can do the same thing with an icon that can be added to the toolbar of the finder by right clicking on the toolbar, choosing "customize toolbar" and then dragging the "path" icon to the desktop.
- A very convenient feature that I love in OSX that I can't seem to find in Windows is the ability to drag a folder or file to the left side of a finder window to create a "favorite" spot. I use this for commonly used folders or locations on my drive. Once in the finder, these folders will almost always port over to whatever application you are using (Adobe included).
- To find multiple instances of a folder or application (browser) right click or control-click on the icon in the dock. That brings up a list of all the instances that you can then select from. You don't have to maximize all the windows.
For the missing progress bar when copying files, it happens when you minimize it while transferring (the system keeps the last state, so it will minimize itself by default the next time it's "open"). You can solve that by going to View > Show progress bar in the destination folder.
I do agree that Apple could do better with that dialog. I would rather they put it in the Notification Center as a notification or something.
If it gets buried in a bunch of windows, you can also use Cmd-` to cycling through all windows of that app (e.g. Finder) to front.
Agree and one quick one way to show it again is using gesture to call all windows open from that application. It quickly shows finder ans progress pop-up. I WOULD LOVE to see a progress stating transfer speeds as windows thou
@@cko519 This works great unless the window (s) are not minimised. Ctrl + down arrow for expose is your best friend to see all the open windows for an app and cycle through them.
@@cigarettescoffee5614 the cmd+` window cycling does not need windows to be minimized to work. In fact, I'm not sure it works on minimized windows... I never minimize progress windows.
7:15 I haven't seen anyone mention this, and I remember you having this complaint in your previous videos. Instead of using 3 swipes up or using the mission control button, finding an application with multiple windows by hovering over the icon/having one of the windows active and doing a 3 finger swipe down gesture would help with the clutter a little.
You can send files wirelessly from iPhone to Windows 10 and vice versa. You need to activate sharing on a folder in Windows and then from iPhone Files app you can join a server. That folder will show up in the server list as long as both of the devices are on the same local network. You can read an tutorial on it. That's how I do it often.
As far as your audio issues, try alt-click on the speaker in the menu bar at the upper right. You can easily change your input and output sources. There are 3rd party apps too.
When you drag the folder from your finder to the save as screen, the path gets copied. This is the same as the path copy 😉
Yep, I forgot about this lifesaver. It absolutely goes to show just how tuned for the mouse macOS is.
By the way, this method of path copying also works with Terminal, by dragging items into the desired window, and I use it all the time. For long paths, it makes everything a breeze.
yeah and the first time i tried that on a pc i got a copy of it instead.😫
I was just going to write the same you did. I prefer MacOS over windows.
Good to hear you're getting along well. Most of my observations have been answered below though remember, you can copy any thing on your Mac and paste on your iPhone or vice versa.
Also when you open webpages or documents in apps on your iPhone they appear in the doc on your Mac.
Don't forget App Expose (three-finger downward swipe) to show the current app's windows and recent docs and the Window menu in the menu bar often has spurious activity or other windows.
Good luck, keep posting the vids & don't forget to try other apps beyond Adobe (like Serif's Affinity suite).
In MacOS Ventura you can use Stage Manager to switch easy between open Applications. The preview is placed left on the screen. You can also group them (also different apps) Its a different approach, but a similar result. In Addition: If you go to system preferences/Dock you can enable the option Window after Program Symbol. After that if you clicking with the right Mousekey you get a list of all opened Windows of the app like in Windows.
7:26 there is a mind blowing shortcut you have to enable in settings, where you 3-finger swap downward, and you have only the windows of your currently selected app displayed, filtered by monitor. This is so useful to browse through multiple windows, i cant believe this is not part of default settings. Also, you can right click the dock icon to select an instance.
Hi for saving files the first time to a specific location on a Mac without having to click through the whole path, you can setup shortcuts to paste into your finder window in the left hand column. The shortcuts are automatically created by dragging and dropping a (project) folder into the left hand column in finder.
My Macbook M1 Pro has been my main computer for high-end, 4K 120p video editing, and it's a beast. Being able to edit that footage anywhere I need to be is beyond convenient, and the machine handles everything I throw at it. Glad you're on the wagon, Lee!
Hello there! I was wondering if you might be able to help me out. As a student trying to learn coding, I'm currently unable to afford a laptop. If you have a spare one lying around that you're not using, I would be extremely grateful for the opportunity to put it to good use.
From the introduction OF Windows while working at Radio Shack, I’ve been a die-hard Windows fan and support provider for users around the country. Now in my “golden years, I made a conscious decision to move to all-Apple about 3 years ago. And, what a pleasure it has been. The simplicity of a single/similar interface and the ease of use across my phone, laptop and tablet have confirmed my choice. I have no regrets, whatsoever.
Just a tip that I use very often, If you go System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Keyboard, You will see "Move focus to next window". You can just assign this shortcut to CMD + " (Key above TAB). With this shortcut as you can CMD + Tab to switch applications, you can switch windows from same application with CMD +" such as multiple Chrome windows , Finder , terminal etc. It is very useful for me
I was really confused about your issues with video editing until I realised you were using premiere pro and not final cut.
I personally can't wait to buy final cut pro
Final cut is where it's at
I have both macbook pros and the ipad pro- what is shocking is I can edit multiple 4k layers with luts, graphics, 4 channel of audio on my ipad pro using LumaFusion app and I can export out a 30 min video under 15 minutes without ever having to use proxy files. Not sure what magic LumaFusion is doing behind the scenes but I am often grabbing my iPad pro 12 inch to edit 4 k video. If I need a large screen I connect my iPad to my large screen via thunderbolt port. You can watch a music video I edited completely on my iPad for Alicia Keys here th-cam.com/video/DUtqk80U0tY/w-d-xo.html
Premiere Pro always runs much faster on a Windows PC --- everyone knows this for years
@@lukebuchwald9252 yeah but Final Cut runs faster on a Mac than Premiere does on a PC
I love the copy on phone, paste on mac feature. I didn’t realize how often I would use it!
It's on Windows too
It would be better if it was an infinite and scrollable clipboard like in android
@@richeyrich2203 there’s a free program for that! :)
Been on onedrive for about 5 years now. Otbing new from apple.
Best feature. But airdrop is king!
Finder thing with the paths in saving dialogue:
If you have the folder you want open in finder, you can just drag it into the saving dialogue of any app. On Windows, this would copy the folder, on Mac, it opens the folder in the saving dialogue.
One thing that really sped up my workflow was Raycast and their file search. its soo easy to find folders there, using it all the time.
7:23 the way I get around it is to have multiple desktops open and keep different apps on them, also command tab can be helpful specially for switching back and forth between two apps. Also, I have a hot corner activated to "Application window" which allows me to see every instance of the app im currently using.
For the issue mentioned at 11:45 it’s actually WAY faster to navigate the open/save dialogs to the location of a different Finder window. Just drag in the folder from Finder into the open/save dialog.
You are trying to use the Mac as if it were a PC. The Mac system is based around advanced drag and drop. Once you realize that you can also drag document window icons to move or reference files, your mind will be blown.
@BillRey, do you know of a video that shows how to do what you're talking about here? I'm having trouble visualizing what you're saying, I guess I'm more of a visual learner. Thanks for any help!
@@brianchristine9301 what he is saying is: Lets assume you need to save some files in a program (photos in photoshop or what ever), which usually consists of pop-up box with an input field where you can search for the path (c/desktop/myfiles and so on) where you want said files to be saved, but instead of having to click 'search' or copy paste a path into that input field, you can just from (another separately opened) file explorer, drag and drop the specific folder into the input field where your program is asking you to select a path for the location to save the files.
@@brianchristine9301 i found a video that shows this feature here: th-cam.com/video/4thfVDr-21s/w-d-xo.html
I came here to say this.
Holy cow i didnt know u can do this. Im gonna try this when im home. I was trying to use mac like a windows pc. Old habit dies hard
this was an awesome informative video, im trying to decide on getting new PC or try Mac for the 1st time. U spoke to ALL of the factors i had concerns with thank you!!
Glad to hear the comments helped you with message forwarding! It's a freaking godsend. I'm so much better at responding to people when I have this feature enabled.
Great and honest review. I’m impressed with how impressive the ‘base’ 14” MacBook Pro is performance wise and agree not many people need much more.
Quick tip : if you already have a finder window opened to the place where you want to save a file, and you click "save as" in let's say Photoshop, it will open this finder window to ask you where you want to store that file. What you can do is drag and drop the folder in which you want to go from the already opened Finder window to the photoshop location selector window, and instead of moving the folder it will take you to the folder's location.
I'm subbed to this channel just for this series. And I see the view counts are high just for this series too. One, because it's interesting. Two, because you're doing it so damn well and fairly. And most importantly, three, it FEELS fair to most people. Thanks man. I also think that M1 has so many people switching to Mac, that so many people want this video.
For the save as path issue, you can either
1. Drag the desired folder onto the save as box which will bring you there immediately OR
2. What I usually do is use Alfred to search the desired folder and just drag from Alfred to the save as box. Much quicker
6:06 something worth noting, with universal clipboard you can copy the code from your iPhone and then when you paste on your mac it'll paste from your iPhone relatively seamlessly, and it works great for me in just these situations.
Came here to say the same thing. Only annoying thing sometimes is theres no way, at least that I'm aware of, to select part of a message unless your phone recognizes it as a code (or address, phone number, time, etc.) and underlines it. It usually does recognize it but when it doesn't I have to copy the whole message, paste it in the "send" box, and copy the part I need from there. It doesn't happen very often though, just mildly annoying when it does.
@@longjohnmcbigdong8541 thats true, ive had that happen once or twice
You don't even need to do that because as long as you've got SMS / Text Message Forwarding turned on in iMessage preferences, it should autofill codes when you receive them.
you can literally set up sms on my Mac and then there is a feature that will autofill the code in when you get the message you don't need to use universal clipboard for that
Yeah it’s not just copy and paste text either. Basically you can copy photos etc from one device and just paste it on another device.
When you are performing a copy/move in Finder, if you have Finder active and then use the command + ` shortcut it will cycle through all Finder windows, including the Copy dialog progress bar. You can also get it back up if you go to the Window menu in Finder and select Copy. :)
Also the copy window didn’t disappear. Mission control doesn’t show pop up windows that applications put up like error windows or contextual menus. So the copy window was always there but behind one of your other apps. If you moved your windows out of the way it was behind one of them. So I get his frustration because mission control tends to make you think its going to show all windows but it reality it only shows primary application windows.
Are there videos to help a brand new mac user like myself learn all these things? Also silly question but I just tried a laptop at the apple store and I didn’t really get how to click on the track pad without making it do other stuff also. Thanks!
@@mattbrew11 don't click too hard. There's like a 50% click for normal clicking, and a very hard click to open the dictionary on a word. I never accidentally trigger the dictionary but if you find it annoying, you can disable it.
@@CodersGuide oh cool thank you!
I'm sure this is here in the comments somewhere, but all you have to do to copy and paste from iPhone to Mac is copy whatever it is on your iPhone, then use the paste function on the Mac. That's all. As long as your iPhone and Mac are using the same Apple account, anything you copy on the iPhone or Mac is available to paste on the other device automatically. Simples. Oh, and iMessage can display messages from other services sent to your phone number, too, they show up as green messages rather than blue.
You used to be able to screen record with the system audio from just a drop down menu, but for some reason they got rid of it natively (if I’m correct). Since then, I’ve had to download a program that creates a separate speaker that uses system audio as it’s source. A little annoying, yes, but now that has given me the new opportunity to use soundboards or various other system audio types playing as part of my voice input during online games, phone calls, zoom calls, etc.
I definitely agree with almost everything else you mentioned.
There are a TON of techniques and optimizations with Finder that you should look into. I work with a lot of files and paths working in video and animation, and compared to when I switched to Windows for a few years, the time savings with Finder ended up being more important than the performance gains I got from a custom PC (pre switching back for M1 Max). I live in San Juan if you ever want me to show you some tips.
Hi, I love your videos! I just want to advise that there is a way to add text messages to your Mac devices or iPad.
This must firstly be done from your iPhone: It is found in Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding. Toggle the switch by selecting other compatible Apple devices (I.e MacBook, iPad) to also receives your text messages. Hope this helps. Again love the channel!
[Cmd ~ ]to cycle through all the open windows of an application (The transfer duration window is an instance of finder, same as Preview) you can also three finger swipe up to show all windows of a current application
Here is a basic tutorial on how to use macOS.
Once you set it up, you will be greeted by the desktop, the Menu Bar at the top, and at the bottom is the Dock, where most of your apps and programs are.
On the bottom left of the Dock is the Launchpad, where all of your apps on your Mac are located.
The file system is harder to understand, but you do have drop down menus.
I agree with audio capture. It is a little quirky to work around, but for ease of use something like OBS is your best bet.
I switched about a year ago. I still have to use Windows at work but at home I have slowly switched to all apple. The way all the devices work with each other is seamless. There are some apps I had on Windows that I have used forever that aren't available on the Mac which is disappointing but the PC experience is more enjoyable on a mac. My opinion.
You just convinced me as also a lifetime Windows user to give the M2 Pro 14 a try. Thanks for the open minded and chilled video. Greetings from Germany!
8 months later, what are your thoughts?
@@NeilTheBoss12I don't think he bought it💀
11:51 for this kind of stuff, I actually tend to create Favorites in the left column, or just click on the dropdown menu, it often shows the recent file locations. A thing that was difficult for me was to remember that you have to press on Cmd + C then Cmd + Opt + V to cut and paste, and not on Cmd + X then Cmd + V.
When I was first contemplating the switch from Windows to Mac back when the M1 MBP was about to launch, the only thing I heard is "You're going to miss playing games because Mac doesn't do it."
I sincerely overestimated how much time I spend gaming on PC. I haven't even thought about it since buying the MBP. But what I actually do on the MBP I am doing so much faster than I was ever able to do on a similarly priced gaming desktop.
I use my PC for gaming and heavy lifting GPU stuff like TouchDesigner, and the (old) Macbook Pro for literally everything else. After using both daily for decades, for me, the Mac is just more pleasurable to use for daily work, and if you are using a computer and OS for 8+ hours a day, you have to enjoy it.
Weird, I don't have any of those issues with iMessage. The codes actually get automatically added to the form I'm filling out (in Safari). But texts to/from Android phones are working through the laptop (M1 Max).
Yeah I always find it odd when people complain about this as I’ve never had any such issues.
It's a setting you have to enable on your phone
Yes, it only works in Safari. I assume by his comment that he is using a different browser
@@DoofusPics I don't remember setting that on my phone, but obviously I did it (or it was already done for my iPad). Not to give Lee too much shit (maybe a little since I also just switched to Mac with this laptop after using windows my whole life @ 42yrs old), but this is a simple Google search to see if there's a fix for something that was clearly annoying him on a daily basis - instead he decided to rant about "why can't they just allow android texts to come through?". Lmao, that's something I could see someone's parents/grandparents doing. Kind of crazy that he'd leave troubleshooting for something so simple up to the YT comment section.
The problem is, he needs to turn on SMS forwarding.
Loving these MacBook Pro comparisons! Keep them coming. Your takes on it are very insightful!
You can save the path to a folder by dropping it in the left bar in the finder. It works everywhere, will speed up your workflow and should solve your problem mentioned at 10:14
I can highly recommend you also checking the Forklift app, it's a next level level finder replacement which will solve your problem, that the server upload status bar is not showing. It's embedded in the main window, not a different little one. And it's really nice to work in it when you use your server a lot.
Thanks for the great review, really the deepest so far I seen - you really tested this thing … much appreciated
One tip for you to recording, its don't use the QuickTime app. For few years I just click Command+Shift+5 and you gonna get an option, want to record or screenshot your screen. You also can resize the screen that you want to record. And there's an option too, that you want to record your voice too or just the app sound
If you have a Finder window open already with the path you want to save files in, drag and drop that folder into the "saving window" of the program. This will automatically cause it to navigate to where your dragged and dropped folder is.
AirDrop was one of the features that I didn't think I would use as much as I do, transferring a 4K video from my iPhone to MacBook is so fast and editing it works so well, when I would do the same on my Windows laptop everything took so long. I don't even have an M series yet and I'm blown away by how good the Macbooks are, the intel ones even run Windows 10 better than actual windows laptops
I’ve been so Mac based for so long that I take some things for granted: my pc friend was helping me with some stuff last week, and he was FLOORED by Finder’s “column view.” I’d never even thought about it, but I’d be borderline dead in the water without column view. There are Absolutely things that Mac does WAY better, and there’s other stuff I straight up turn off because it’s just annoying smoke and mirrors.
Edit: as an aside, Adobe these days is an abusive relationship masquerading as bloatware. Stop doing yourself dirty.
yeah column view is objectively the best view for a file viewer application. Although to be fair, on Windows the Files App (3rd party file manager) which is amazing, has this view as well. Some linux file managers also have this view.
Phone link on windows does the same thing for text messaging. Yes, it connects to your phone through wifi, but it offers similar functionality.
Does phone link still work on iPhones?
Also if you drag a folder into the Save as... window, the path will update to match that folder.
I think this switch to Mac series is compelling, though I’m a long time Mac user, but its interesting to hear someone that REALLY uses the full power of this laptop. I like how you make your daily hardcore processing intensive work sound like its as simple as watching a TH-cam video, a true pro. I’ve always gotten the MacBook Pro for work which I know is more than I need, but I think I’ve also aspired to do cool graphics work like you do… that said, I think Apple laptops have been near desktop replacements relative to what was on the market for probably the last 10 years or so? Also, I think the beauty of the iMac is in its screen, to processing power, to price ratio. It’s no secret that iMacs from 2015 have nearly the same screen as Apples 2023 $1200 entry level monitor, which is why folks are buying them for $200 and repurposing them. Go figure.
Welcome to Mac. I made the move ~12 years ago. One BSOD too many, I binned my 3yo Windows box and bought first a 2009 iMac 21” then a mid 2010 White unibody MacBook. I’ve only just stopped using those two machines after buying a new M1 13” MacBook Pro. I agree: it’s an awesome machine - I haven’t used my old iMac at all since buying it.
BTW - you can get your text messages in iMessage.
When you hover over the title of a finder window a folder icon will appear, you can drag that onto the save-as dialog and it will navigate to that path.
@jess I just switched over to mac recently and this was a deal breaker for me. In Windows when a save-as dialog opens the file name is selected, you can simply paste a path, press enter and it navigates there. You can also use the clipboard to copy multiple paths, and use Win+V to select which to paste.
You can also click and hold on the folder/file icon at the top of a Finder (and many other apps) and then it will let you drag that to File dialog and open that folder location.
Also, CMD-click on the title of a window and it will show the hierarchy leading to that file so you can go back up, etc.
He also had the file dialog box's disclosure triangle set to minimize, if he opened that up, he'd see more more things. And clicking on the current folder will open up a popup that shows path to that folder, and also a list of recent folders to pick from.
@@CarloGaudreault You can do all that and much more on MacOS, you just need to dust years of Windows use and learn how to things the Mac way and you’ll find out that most are better or easier in a Mac. It’s not perfect and I do miss some things on Windows and wish Mac OS he then the same way, but it took me some time to learn and change my ways and I would never ever go back ti windows as my main or daily driver. I still use it and Linux in servers or at work but for personal, I switched 11yrs ago and would never go back. I even regret the waste of time I did all my life trying ti fix stupid windows problems or installing updates, cleaning, anti virus, BSOD, reinstalling, registry, etc and all that junk time wasting when you have real work to do and you need a computer that just works to deliver on a tight deadline. And I’m a pro computer engineer and a programmer, and been using computers since late 80s when there’s was only DOS black screens, lol
@@fmax30000 Trell me how to do this one thing better in macOS, I can not stand not being able to simpli click the app dock icon to minimize the app, no solution is as fast and clean as windows. Yes you can option + click, you can right click + hide, you can ignore it and click straight on the app you want instead. But all of this seems so ugly and slow.
@@Katatonya You’re totally right!
But believe it or not:
1. My workflow has changed automatically that I don’t use minimise anymore! It’s much faster to use spaces (different desktops) and the app switcher than minimising and maximising windows. Do I want it in the Mac?! Yes, why not. Do I miss it or does it hinder my workflow?! Not a tiny bit. Is there 3rd party apps to compensate and make MacOS more “windowsy”, most probably.
2. Mac users unlike Windows users more use keyboard shortcuts, it’s easier, much faster and more pro.
3. There’s nothing called a perfect system, Windows does some things better, Mac does other things and Linux does other. I and many other people would take reliability, consistency, performance, privacy, security, echo system, no viruses and anti viruses, no BSODs, no drivers, no registry, aesthetics, speed, connectivity with other devices , etc above any tiny nit picking feature like minimising a window. Everyone has priorities, for me, these are my priorities above what you mentioned. Same with iOS, I wish I had themes, but I m not a teen and I hardly spend time on the phone desktop to look at the wallpaper or icons themes, I prefer spending my valuable time insides pro reliable apps on a solid store to work, to deliver. I don’t have time choose changing themes above all I’m entwined above being viruses, clearing cache, reinstalling the system, rebooting, sacrificing my privacy and security for that.
For iOS again, the only thing I was waiting for since iPhone 6 was a split screen multi tasking like the iPad. For Mac though, I wish the finder gets some windows explorer features when copying snd moving files around. Like a progress bar with transfer speed. A pause button. A speed graph would be nice and beneficial. Yeah that stuff, not the minimise. But I will join you asking for this as I’m sure it would make the life of many users easier, especially people recently switched from windows and not used to using shortcuts. I started computers end of 80s when there was only DOS with black screen and text only. I switched from windows to Mac in 2011 to develop apps for iOS. I still use windows at work and in vertical machines and I do use Ubuntu and Kali for other network related work/ dev and for servers. Macs are my daily drivers and my go to machines, and the advancements after leaving Intel to the M1 architecture is decades ahead.
Wish you luck and have a great day 👍
Very Informative!
Press command, shift and 5. with this you can record your screen as well - with audio from playing videos etc :)
One tip that I would recommend is related to the Apple Dock. In one of your previous videos you mentioned how you feel it takes up a lot of space and yet it can be hard to see the icons - I would agree. Ever since switching from Windows that has driven me crazy. I would recommend trying turning on auto hide and turning on magnification as well. This way you never see the Dock unless you move your cursor to where it collapses down to, and you can see the icons better because of magnification. I really like having auto hide turned on that way I can expand my apps all the way to the bottom of the screen - I think it looks better plus it also gives me so much screen real estate back. The other thing if you haven't done this yet, is to add the Application folders to the dock. You can do this by simply locating the Application folder via Finder and dragging and dropping it onto the dock. This way you can quickly access your installed apps. These two things I've done since the beginning and it has given me some sanity back :)
I do the same with the dock but as a Apple user since 2007 I have to say I still hate the dock to this very day
I’m in the exact same boat. I’m a lifelong Windows user but earlier this year I made the jump to MacOS after both of the windows laptops I purchased failed on me weeks apart from each other, after that I said “screw it” and picked up the 16in M1 Pro MacBook Pro. A couple months in and I’ve already become a permanent Mac user from now on. There’s still some things I enjoy on Windows and I’ll be keeping my PC for gaming, but for all my other work it’s Mac all the way for me
I used to say PC laptops are only good for two years… not sure I can say that anymore with my last few that were struggling at not even six months. Meanwhile my 8 year old MBP is still killing it.
I got the M1 Max 16" MBP and it is a beast. It's beautifully ironic that Apple was the fun machine and Windows was the boring corporate one, and now the table has flipped (at least for PC gaming) And this is coming from someone who has been using Apple since 2008. I loved my first iMac, my productivity with everything was elevated, I was able to play the only game I cared about on it (World of Warcraft) and I was living for all the UI/UX things. Windows has always been a means to an end for me, and I do have a gaming rig but I hate the fact that it's Windows. I wish Apple would take gaming more seriously in the Mac ecosystem, because if they did, I would have zero need to use a Windows machine ever again.
@@whitenorthentent Definitely agree with you! On the one hand I almost enjoy having my games and my work on separate devices for productivity's sake, but on the other hand I would love being able to enjoy a lot of my games on the Retina display :)
I am just gonna buy m1pro 14" for my accademics use especially ms office ,so they told me there is home and office which can be bought separately so that you could have same experience like in windows so is it worth to buy mac??
@@KeithStrang So you have tested every windows laptops available to make that comment? Are all people living in africa dark skinned?
That's the third video I am watching about you switching to Mac and it just keeps me smiling all the time :) I am a long term Mac user and I highly recommend learning shortcuts especially to navigate around because it saves you so much time
I have been with Windows all my life; during the situation, I got a Mac mini for video editing, so why well the video card I needed cost the same as the mini, and I would have to upgrade other parts to a total of 2K. All the stuff you mention in the video makes life so much easier. The only reason I would need a Windows computer is if I was still into gaming, and you can get around that, but not sure if everything game would work. I now have a Mac Air, and moving files from it is fast and easy, and with the iCloud, my desktop stays synced between the two. Finally, get Davinci Resolve, and you will love it!
All the advanced software for science and engineering are available for windows not for mac.
I went through the exact same thing. A lifetime Windows user, I bought a MacBook Air and just started playing with it. Three months later I sold all of my PCs and am now Mac OS. Sometimes annoying, but the Max OS overall is pretty simple and intuitive. And I subscribed to your channel. Thank you!

Nah bro, this life is a piece of shit, there is no way he will just give you his old laptop
Actually when launching the Continuity workflow years ago, sending/receiving regular SMS were also one of the first features.
and yes you can also copy file path to another application. but the easiest way to do it is just to drag the folder from finder into the open/save dialog in the other application.
