These videos about how Macs work have been sooooo helpful. Thank you. I'm a veteran user of Macs and I've learned at least four things each video. I appreciate this information.
I thought I knew my way around the Finder pretty well before I watched this video. I didn’t know even half of these tips! Thanks for posting and all you do for the Mac community.
After 30 years of being a PC user, I finally bought myself a Mac Pro this year. However I missed knowing all the PC keyboard shortcuts and processes off by heart.... and Finder, well it was a real headache for me. So happy I am slowly getting to know Mac shortcuts and can’t wait to try out your awesome Finder tips. Thanks so much Gary, I’m learning so much from you ! 💃😁
I 100% agree. I've been trying to convert from PC for years and honestly never sat down to try to learn more about the Finder. I absolutely can't stand the finder every time I use it, which his literally all day long when I am on a Mac. These shortcuts help me out tremendously.
I came to say the same thing. The Finder vs Explorer is by far the most challenging to learn. As someone how has 3 external drives of media and uses PLEX I was getting so frustrated navigating and organizing (after moving folders/files from one external to another to format drives).
I'm a software developer who have run Mac my whole life, and did not expect to learn anything from this video, but I actually learn some new things! I was happily surprised :)
Hello Gary, so glad I found your ‘little’ channel.. Little by numbers but highly valuable by its content! You deserve 100 x the numbers of viewers. When others only spend their energy on producing 3 videos a week on the never ending rumours or same subjects as Final Cut Pro, Geeks Speed Tests, your channel is giving us training and valuable info. Keep up the good work Gary! Thanks from a Frenchman (trying his 1st ever Mac when everybody seems to switch away from Mac)
Hi Gary. I'm long overdue thanking you for this and your other videos. I moved from PC to a 2021 27" iMac earlier this year after decades as a Windows user. I'm a file folder kid of guy and couldn't figure out how to move a file without creating a copy of it, until I watched this. One would think that there would be better mention of the option key to move files in the Apple user guide. Now I can work with documents and files and make them do what I want. This is a real game changer for me and has really made my Mac experience enjoyable. Thank you again for all of your tutorials. This is an old video but remains relevant and valuable today.
WOW! I've watched so many videos being a Windows>Mac convert. Your video was by far the most helpful in learning how to navigate Finder and tweak. Subscribing to your channel for more useful Mac tut's. Finder is by far the most challenging difference. Learning about the Option key was by far the most useful tip for me, especially the "move" command. Thanks so much.
Great video Gary, thanks! Really like the pace at which you move through all of your tips. Fast and right to the point. Very efficient use of time! Thank you!
Gary, Thank you for efficient info, given quickly and concisely. As a graphics professional, I don't have time to watch people pontificate while I miss deadlines. This is great info, and quickly delivered.
My brain just blew up a little. This is incredible information (that will take me repeated viewings to digest!). Thanks for sharing this info with us! Subbed.
Love this video, very clear and very helpful! I've recently discovered you can select items and just drag them into the tags (for example the green tag), and those items will automatically be tagged accordingly :)
Notice that the View Options lets you change the background color of a folder icon view, or set a background picture. Makes that Finder window stand out, and very attractive too.
Excellent show as always! Love your channel. As a decades-long Mac user, I still didn't know about half of these! And a BIG thanks for the lack of uuh's and umm's LOL
Another awesome video, so much to learn. One bugbear that I am unable to solve is how to get finder windows to consistently open in a preferred size. I have tried various methods but the window opens in different sizes after some time
Is there an option / work-around to close all folders in a list view? Depending on how nestled the folders are it can take quite a while. thank you for your great videos! I discover so many new things!
Thanks for the great video. My last Mac gave up the ghost approx. 3 yea5s ago. Instead of getting a new one, I got a 3rd Gen iPad Pro 12.9 1Tb on release. It was basically an overgrown phone until iPadOS was released. I’ve just bought a Mac mini and this video has been excellent to remind me of what I’ve been missing. My work Windows PC is a joke. It’s so clunky and you can’t do half the things you can on a Mac.
Just discovered your channel. It's a keeper and I've subscribed. Thanks so much. Just received my iMac M1. Loving it. I was wondering when you select "Show Preview", in the Pictures folder, is there a way to set the zoom size of the preview? Thank you.
Great Tips. I have found it really hard to go from Windows to Finder. Windows I have found easier to use but i am slowly getting there with my Mac. I don't need some of the advanced features here but this video helps
A way to move files/folders from one folder to another: Create Finder Folder Tabs for the “from folder” and the “to folder” Click on the file/folder you want to move in the “from folder” tab Drag it up to the “to folder” finder tab. The “to folder” tab window will open up (come into focus) Drop the file/folder into the “to folder” tab window area.
Yikes. This is 5 videos in one. Fabulous video thanks. Seriously this is exhausting and could have been at least 2 or 3 videos. Get info to Show Inspector is such a great tip.
Gary....Just found this TH-cam site and it is hands down the best site for help with the Mac. I have a question. Could you tell us if there is a way to remove an icon from the Microsoft Excel app. Specifically the Print command. I have on countless instances pressed the Print key instead of the Save key and it prints the document in its entirety when I only wanted a single page.. I would like to remove the Print icon to eliminate this from happening.
Love your videos. You are definitely under-subscribed. When possible, you should do a video on getting rid of unnecessary files and better organizing files/photos/etc. All my Macs have no space and I pay for iCloud lol
Wow!! thank you SO much... I hardly dare say that I've been looking for an option not to copy a file but to MOVE a file for 8 years... not knowing the option key trick!!! 🤪!!! I know it sounds like an idiot:-)
This is a wonderful channel! I recently found it and have been watching back to back. I do have a question though, perhaps you could provide the answer? When one is using an application and do "Save As", the system takes you to the last location where files were saved, but for me, this is mostly incorrect. I would like for it to take me to where the file I am editing was opened. Can that be configured somewhere? Many thanks!
Great videos. I have a question. In list view within a folder, I have several folders that are open and I can see their content. I'd like to close all open folders with a single action (instead of selecting each folder, close it, move to the next folder, close it, etc...) . I'd like to see all of the folders in a closed view. Thanks.
@@macmost Fantastic! From that I figured out a) Command+Right arrow to Open all folders, b) Command+Up arrow to go up a folder level and c) Command+Down arrow to go down (or into) a folder....Awesome, Thank you.
Thanks for the good info! Question: I have a late 2015 IMac, with El Capitan. I'm finding some things won't work with such an old system. I never upgraded to Catalina, High Sierra, etc..........so, on Apple Store, there are no upgrades to be seen, and when I search for them, it says they aren't found. Please advise how I can update from El Capitan to which newer one you think best............I have plenty of RAM, have checked the Apple Icon, About, and I'm compatible, but just can't find where I can switch over/update on Apple Store. I don't trust some outside Mac site to download a whole operating system. Please Help. Thank you.
I'm on OS Catalina ✏️ I see you can grab the Finder Column ANYWHERE along it from top to bottom. I can only grab the tiny little 'Divide' marks at the very bottom of the Columns. Between my columns there is a width for the slider when needed… perhaps this is the issue❓ For one, they should be at the top as this is where the user is 99% working with their mouse. The amount of distance you need to travel EVERY SINGLE TIME to adjust the columns using this is infuriating. NOW that I have your awesome tips the world is a better place 😃 Why though can I not grab the edge of any Column and drag/adjust❓ ALSO, it would be good to comment on COMMENTS 😉 What are they for❓ Can you Search in Comments❓ Could they be used also as Tagging❓ Love your work 😬 🎉💥 🚀
Thank you for this video, I learnt a few tips that will be useful. However, one thing that continues to annoy/irritate me in OS X is that the search/spotlight (magnifying glass) window cannot be expanded horizontally. Sometime when you search for a file or document somewhere on your computer and then when you find it, sometimes the full path (when you select option key) is truncated because the window is too narrow. This has been like this in OSX for ages and with each new upgrade i.e Catalina, I hope this has been fixed, but alas no, it is still limited to expanding the window size only vertically, but not horizontally. If you know a way of fixing this, please post a video on this trick. For the life of me, I do not understand why Apple continue to limit the resizing of this window, every other window seems to be able to be resized in both directions, except this spotlight window.
Great video as always..thanks! One thing I'm challenged by: In the folder Show View Options menu, there's a button to use my settings as Default. I'm assuming (maybe wrongly) that means ALL folders will use my chosen settings (icon, font sizes, etc.) but that doesn't happen. What am I missing? Thanks again...
It changes the defaults, but if you have set some property of a folder previously, then it will remember it. So if you have folders A, B, C, D and you set A to something and B to something, and then C to something and click the Use as Defaults button on C, then you'll see the same when you go to D. But A and B will remember how you set them up.
Great Finder videos. Please setup more easy ways for us to show our appreciation directly. I have some funds on my Apple Cash card. Just don’t want to sign up for another service and creates another other account and Patreon.
Unless Dropbox has fixed it recently, using emojis and special characters in file or folder names may prevent dropbox from syncing those particular items.
Hi Gary, Thanks for your vids. Billiant. I downloaded Catalina. Music, everything is ok my my movies collection apparently are in the TV app. I put TV app in Finder but it doesn't show. Can you please tell me where is it? Thanks so much
What do you mean by "I put TV app in Finder" -- it is an app and should be in the Applications folder. You can launch it there, or in LaunchPad or you should have it in the Dock by default too. Or use Spotlight to launch it.
Thank you again for these tips! I still have one thing that bugs me - can you think of a way for this, please?: Each time I open a finder folder (I have it set to always open in column view) I have to click on a diver and choose " *Right Size All Columns Individually* ". Is there some setting to use that would make this permanent/the default?
Nothing that will force the columns to resize every time. Maybe just make them all big enough so you don't need to do it? Or. instead of using the context menu, hold Option and double-click on a divider to resize all the columns.
@@macmost Thank you for taking the time to reply! Much appreciated. Yeah, I figured that may be the case - so will keep using Opt+DblCLick as you reminded.
I have a lot of photos which I would like to sort but I get lost along the way. Can you suggest a method or a process which helps make this process of sorting photos easier
Photos as files in the Finder? Or do you mean Photos in the Photos app? And if they are files in the Finder, what type of photos? If they are your family or vacation photos (etc) then maybe consider bringing them into the Photos app so you can organize them there. That's what the app does.
I feel like 90% of what you showed in this video should be set to "on" by default. These tips were super helpful coming from a PC. I hope I can gain some muscle memory with the shortcuts. I'm still uneasy with emoji's instead of characters on the keyboard. I see the option button and I'm like, what the heck is this mean again? Ha!
Some new, and some reminders of things forgotten... thanks! Question, when using Spotlight Search, the searched item appears in the image viewer on the right, which can be double clicked and opened. But, is there a way to show the path to that file without having to scroll to the bottom of the searched files and Open in Finder?
When I do find a file, how do I know where is stored on the mac? My problem is that I find them but then I can't locate where it is saved so I resave it on the desk top, and then have two of the same files. Not good! Redundant.
I know this is an older video but do you know how to get a folder view like the windows list view, where you have hundreds of files on one screen (depending on the length of the file names), can sort them by name/type and scroll from left to right, like a book. I have many folders with mp3 files or pictures that have hundreds or even thousands of files in them. So it looks like this inside a folder: 01 06 11 16 02 07 12 17 03 08 13 18 04 09 14 19 05 10 15 20
How do you move and resize Finder window so it opens to that position and size every time you open Finder even after restarting Mac? I have tried so many different ways and nothing works permanently. It always opens to s small window in the middle of the screen.
If you have to restart your Mac for some reason, make sure you choose the option to NOT close all windows. If you do, then you are not reopening old Finder windows, but opening new ones. New windows won't be in the same place as old ones, naturally. See th-cam.com/video/nKXCjD4HdpY/w-d-xo.html
I don't know what "audio box" means. But maybe you just have the sound for the video turned off or all the way down. Adjust it at the bottom of the video.

How do you move and resize Finder window so it opens to that position and size every time you open Finder even after restarting Mac? I have tried so many different ways and nothing works permanently. It always opens to s small window in the middle of the screen.
If you have to restart your Mac for some reason, make sure you choose the option to NOT close all windows. If you do, then you are not reopening old Finder windows, but opening new ones. New windows won't be in the same place as old ones, naturally. See th-cam.com/video/nKXCjD4HdpY/w-d-xo.html
why do i get no sound from some of your videos but sound works fine for everything else including other videos? (have audio box)
I don't know what "audio box" means. But maybe you just have the sound for the video turned off or all the way down. Adjust it at the bottom of the video.
