You should always eject drives on a PC as well. This ensures you are not removing a drive during a write process which could case corrupted data. Depending on what programs are accessing your drive you might not even be aware you're drive is being written to.
0:40 - Spotlight Search - Used to frustrate me as it wouldn't find files, which is what I usually want. Tip: Add the Option key and you get a Finder search - Cmd+Option+Space
Another great video, mate. I really appreciate your efficient presentation style, which doesn't rely on a lot of click-baity titles, jargon, filler, graphics, or unnecessary transitions. I look forward to more of your content.
Great video! There seems to be a myth going around that only Macs require you to eject an external drive before physically removing it. It’s the same principle for pretty much everu operating system. Windows will complain if you don’t ”safely remove hardware” before de attaching it. The reason is that the operating system can speed up read and write speeds to USB devices by using r/w cache which stores data in the computers primary memory and there’s a very tiny risk that there are data in memory not yet written to the external drive, however these problems were more common back in the days of USB version 1.
Correct. A modern OS should be smart enough to know if there are files at risk and instead of showing the same eject warning just inform you about what files may be corrupted, and only if that’s the case.
If you want to use the external drive on another non mac device, you should think about formatting as ExFAT. ExFAT drives can be both written and read in MacOS or Windows.
PHT is the best! Highly useful practical advice for anyone using Apple products. Great presentation and one I share with my Apple friends. Thanks PHT!!
Hiya , the music in the background thing is new, I was all over my mac looking for the rogue app. love your content, prefer it sans muzac! thanks for all the tips!
Should also mention that Macs don’t actually need to be “shut down” every time you stop using them. Instead people should get used to putting their Mac to sleep and shutting down occasionally (every few weeks or when travelling). This was an eye opener for me when coming from Windows.
If it’s during the day, and I’m not using it for a few hours, I put it to sleep. I’m not using it for a period of time, say overnight, I turn the motherfucker off! Peace.
The main difference in Macs is that they usually wake up almost instantaneously, while with Windows you can go and make a coffee while everything restarts again 😅
To access the iPhone hotspot you don't need to "Allow others to join" or remember the password. As long as Mac and iPhone are both logged into the same Apple account then the hotspot is available, and even pops up as an option when none of your preferred WiFi networks are available. That's why the option is to allow "Others" to join, ie: anybody not logged into your Apple account, and it's more secure to leave it off.
Please be aware uninstalling a app by moving it to the bin will not uninstall any other files related to that app that are installed in various system folders. If your application has its own dedicated uninstall program I suggest you use that, over the years your system will become cluttered with useless files and in certain circumstances can cause conflicts and errors.
Yes, just remove the app package, will usually leave its other folders scattered all over inside various system places. I recommend using application cleaners (search and you will find free ones that are not actually bloated with other stuff and not free).
@@01Lic I usually use spotlight search with hidden directories visible and keyword the software to find all leftover traces of it, I wish Apple would make this easier.
Thanks for the tips. And I purchased the PIA based on your recommendation last month. I used it in the hotel in Europe and felt more at ease for the security. Super easy to install and manage. Thanks!
That principle applies to so many similar things. We have screens the size of tennis courts, yet arrows,buttons, etc are like trying to stab a mosquito with a pin. Especially if you are geriatric,like me.
Time Machine is great for restoring all the user accounts, user settings, apps etc. on a Mac if you have one that dies, like I did, or more happily when you get a new Mac and you can use the Time Machine from your old Mac to set-up your new Mac exactly like your old one. There's a lot more work to setting up a system than just using accessing your files on the cloud.
to the point on the erasing a drive - choose to click the button next to the sidebar that says View - then choose "Show All Devices" ; this will give you the option to view all the partitions and format the drive - adding a MBR partition table or a GUID partition table. In addition to that you can then also format your drives as exFAT and FAT32 as well as JHFS+ or APFS. You choose the top most drive to format the whole disk. I can't believe this isn't mentioned in the video to begin with.
2:41 not necessary. As long as your Mac and iPhone are signed in to the same Apple ID, the max can use the hotspot. There is no need to toggle the allow others to join setting. Only toggle that if you want Windows, Chromebooks, other people’s Apple devices and Android devices to join. That is only instances in which you will need a password. Your own Apple devices do not need a password to join. Your hotspot will show up in the WiFi menu in your Mac and in instances of no internet and the iPhone being nearby it will ask if you want to join the hotspot
With the intro of the MAC Studio, many users are opting for non Apple monitors to avoid the cost of the Studio Display. I purchased a Samsung M8 and am very happy with my choice, especially the $1000 I saved. My one complaint is the inability to control the volume of the display using the keyboard. I don't care about changing the brightness since I've calibrated the monitor and use it for my photography. But the volume is another issue. I've tried a few workarounds and am not happy with any of the solutions I've found. Can you give us some pointers on how to solve this issue? Thanks in advance. Enjoy your channel.
There’s a step I like to try before force quit. When Cmd-Q won’t work, you can use the Activity Monitor to send a message or signal to tell the app to quit. (I assume this is similar to Cntl-C from the terminal.) Anyway sometimes it works when cmd-Q doesn’t and I assume it’s less likely to cause problems than a force quit.
Love your videos, and your wallpaper set, which I bought. One thing I feel strongly about is that the #1 productivity tool for the Mac, Keyboard Maestro, is being ignored, and this should change. It’s a macro tool that lets you do *anything* related to automation, from running scripts to performing Applescript or Javascript, advanced UI scripting, you name it. I’d love to see you crack this tool, if you aren’t familiar with it, and work up a video about how it can help make the Mac better for users. I’d be happy to help if you like.
Pluggable storage devices have to me unmounted on every current OS, if not configured otherwise. (For quick removement on Windows.) And if configured otherwise they will be much slower and might last much shorter. To kill an application you also can open the terminal and use the kill command. To fast see how much space is available, you can use the df command in the terminal.
I think you under value Time Machine. It’s extremely useful to recover a deleted file, and when you buy a new Mac Time Machine can be used to transfer files, settings, etc.
Thank you so much for this tip on the screenshot app in the Utility folder. I dragged it to my desktop for easy access so I can just either click with my mouse or from the touchpad. Easier than using shortcut keys. So appreciate it!
I've been using Macs since 2007, but still picked up a couple of useful tidbits, thanks! One question: To get to the Recovery Mode on an M1 Macbook, I assume you hold down the Fingerprint ID button, as there is no Power button?
People in different countries speak differently. I wouldn't expect an American person to alter their vocabulary for my benefit, I'm sure most of my American viewers feel the same.
I LOVED this.....AS you're a Bright Guy....and I am less so......I have 2 iMacs....One old...One an M1......I have 2 Airs....One old...one new but it's the M1 Model prior to Apple adding Mag Safe again. My Question. These don't seem to be synching properly. I only use the New iMac and the New AirM1...... I also have an iPhone 8......I rarely use it for anything other than a phone...... Question: What am I doing incorrectly as the devices don't appear to be properly Synching? Many Thanks...... a Non-Nerd.
Brilliant. Thankyou. Covering the basics is great as a new MacBook Air user. When I use airdrop to transfer a photo from my phone to my MacBook the word document I have open disappears and photos file appears on the screen. Is there an easy way to get it up again? Rather than finder and word please?
Great stuff PHT, thank you. first time on a mac, i downloaded chrome and other items...everything just sits on the desktop,...how do i get rid of all the downloaded icons from the desktop.
Hi. Thanks for the helpful tips. I have never quite got my head around Time Machine, though I use it. You referred to the oldest backup being overwritten when the storage disk is reaching its limit. Is there some warning that this is about to happen. And if I delete a file from my working hard drive does Time Machine automatically delete that file from the backup? Any other pitfalls associated with using Time Machine? Many thanks.
The hotspot thing is useful .... but it works very poorly. Once iphone locks itself, goes your connection too, goes same with cable or wifi. You can also plug a cable in to your mac to use it as modem. Any way around connection going away after mac is locked?
@@gbsailing9436 no, i think i clicked on trust this computer once. Try it, somewhere in Starbucks, connect the hotspot or cable in to thunderbolt port and see what happens when phone get's locked. I had to get something done once outside of home, and it was really annoying. I tried searching online, appears im not the only one like this. Nothing wrong with work your doing, it's great! Thank you for it.
Ok, so in formatting external drives, I have the need to use my drives with both Mac and Windows machines and occasionally, the files sizes I am required to use are large. What would you advise to format in that situation?
Comparing Macs with full blown Unix to Windows and complaining that you need to eject drives in software first is silly. Yes, Windows is so irresponsible that it can't even hold on to a disk in it's file system. Not a good comparison.
8:30 - another favorite tip for quitting apps is to use the "command" + "tab" interface. Hold "command", don't let go. Tap "tab" one or more times to cycle through your open apps (you can also just use the left/right arrow keys or even your mouse to pick the app you want). Then press "Q" to quit that app (works on iPad as well).
I’m really enjoying your videos. Even though I haven’t bit the bullet & laid out the cash for a Mac computer, I’m using 2 ipads & an iphone. I plan on getting an M(whatever) Mac Mini the next time they update it so your videos are so helpful. You have such a great organized delivery of information I’m sure I’ll be rewatching in the future. Thank you for sharing your expertise.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for showing me the create app shortcut for menu options that don't have a shortcut. I use strikethrough in the notes app all the time when addressing client notes that I've pasted into there. I like to use a strikethrough when I finish a note b/c I may want to go back to that note later so I don't like to just delete them. All the other functions have a keyboard shortcut except Strikethrough. It's bugged me endlessly. NOW I'VE GOT A KEYBOARD SHORTCUT FOR IT. Omg thank so much. It's been a small annoyance but it's great to have that annoyance finally eradicated.
Hey Man - thank You !! Great info !! Not to mention I absolutely love your voice and your defiantly a very blessed man - 🔥 AF- man… love to information !!! Fantastic
Great video, thank you. One other thing I found really confusing as a Windows user is the maximise window functionality on a Mac. It creates a new virtual desktop for the application window when you do that. You can then use the Ctl+arrow key to move between them. Until recently I didn't even know that virtual desktops even existed, but once you realise what is happening and how to use them, they are really great.
Thank you for this excellent presentation. One can also eject a drive by dragging the drive icon from the desktop to the bin in the bottom right corner of the dock.
Great video. Really helpful. I’ve often had trouble formatting new external drives. The process fails without any useful information. The solution is to boot into safe mode and then it will work. Keep up the good work. I really like your drama free style. Oh and launch pad is one of the silliest things Apple has ever made 😀
m8 got my hands on a 17" macbook from 2011 with NO fried gpu , 1TB ssd , 17 charge cycles , 16gm ram ,runs 10.7.3 . So what i do ? , make it run monterey !
I really liked your detailed video, and it was great. You talked about formatting drives. What if I wanted to use an external SSD for Serato DJ Pro? The music SSD drive has to be Fat32. My files need to be MP3 Flac Aiff etc. My windows was in NTFS then I re-formatted it to Fat 32. Can you, offer me some insight or how to go about this?
I know all of these probably because I used to be a big mac nerd. I miss the mac but had to switch to pc. I still like to follow mac stuff. This video gives me the old snazzy labs vibes..
You do have to eject your usb drive before removing it to ensure no corruption on pc just as on a mac , otherwise you risk pulling it out in the middle of a write . If such is the case your pc or mac , will warn you as you hit the eject symbol !
I want an app called epolife, and it was dormant until it took over, it was easy to delete with terminal commands, I found the procedure on iMac forum and also found that it was part of my backups for quite a few months

I don't shut down my Windows laptop that often too.

m8 got my hands on a 17" macbook from 2011 with NO fried gpu , 1TB ssd , 17 charge cycles , 16gm ram ,runs 10.7.3 . So what i do ? , make it run monterey !
I really liked your detailed video, and it was great. You talked about formatting drives. What if I wanted to use an external SSD for Serato DJ Pro? The music SSD drive has to be Fat32. My files need to be MP3 Flac Aiff etc.
My windows was in NTFS then I re-formatted it to Fat 32. Can you, offer me some insight or how to go about this?
Great Video! Though this video definitely gear towards new Mac Owner, which should be included into the title. None the less keep up the good work.
I know all of these probably because I used to be a big mac nerd. I miss the mac but had to switch to pc. I still like to follow mac stuff. This video gives me the old snazzy labs vibes..
You do have to eject your usb drive before removing it to ensure no corruption on pc just as on a mac , otherwise you risk pulling it out in the middle of a write . If such is the case your pc or mac , will warn you as you hit the eject symbol !
I want an app called epolife, and it was dormant until it took over, it was easy to delete with terminal commands, I found the procedure on iMac forum and also found that it was part of my backups for quite a few months
