Thanks David. As an avid APPLE addict and user for over 30 years and former Apple Store Specialist, I applaud the clarity and specificity with which you explain tips and techniques. Mojave is awesome.
David Phillips can i know which adblocker should i use for my mac??
Good comfortable (understandable) class
AMHN
David Phillips I have had my new mac for about 9 months. I didn't really know how to operate it when I got it as I was a windows user and I refused to go to windows 10. I am struggling but with your class I have learned more in the last two hours than I have in the last 9 months. Thank you so much. Debbie Tarpley from Aiken, SC
@@deborahhtarpley7933 me too i well never go back to Windows 10 at all .
Dear David, just this week I migrated from PC to Mac (Catalina). I have never seen such a helpful training as this tutorial for beginners. You are a real 5-star teacher! Every single topic you addressed helped me a lot to get up & running! Thanks from Holland.
I have just purchased my very first Mac after using windows based PC's for over 20 years.
As I'm a very "techie" person, but yet I found myself very clueless regarding macOS.
This guide is super informative and very well explained. I highly appreciate you're effort and time creating this video for us new Mac users.
Thank you David ! :)
Welcome to the Mac World...
Are satisfied with Mac OS? I'm also thinking of switching to mac...
is it worth the swithching ?
Uri Vais You’re a very “techie” person and still found a Mac to be a good choice? Doubt.
@@hellodumplings8564 Macbook just laying there next to my custom built PC, a 34" ultrawide 144hz monitor, a PS4, few android phones for testings - and ofc' i got this notification on my apple watch after listening to music on my Sony WH 1000XM4's . I guess I'm missing few more tech products to be a techie then..
jokes aside now, I needed a laptop for my art studies at collage so i found Macbook to be what i needed. (sketch app, best display in terms of color accuracy, battery life and much more.)
OMG...you are a gem. I recently went from PC to iMac desktop and Mac laptop. I have been having panic attacks since then. All of my classes are zoom for now and everything is done on the computer. I have to constantly leave the zoom to try and figure this mac out. I feel like I went from my iPhone to an Android. I just finished two classes listening to the Prof going on and on. So, the last thing I wanted to do was sit back in front of a computer and listen to someone speak..lol! But, you have made me feel so comfortable now. I still have a lot of questions. But, this is a start. Thank you!
I started on a mac, back in the 90's when I was a teacher, and switched to a pc for business 20 years ago. My new Macbook has been a glorified paperweight for months because I just couldn't make sense of it, and didn't take the time until today. Your video really did give me hope. Can't thank you enough.
Me too left Mac for more than 20 years and even I once was an Apple Staff in the early 90's in John Scully's Day... But I have used iPhone more than 10 years and iPad since iPad 1, and in this year march , I am back to MacBook.....
Yay! Nice. My first Mac laptop experience, not using but ownership. Working to understand the keys and interface, converting from chrome books android & windows.
I’ll buy it!

This is my second I Mac. So I'm not a beginner. But I'm watching anyway to fill in the gaps. From teaching skiing I've seen firsthand how skipping the fundamentals in ANY learning curve will bite you because you tend to make "your own system" work through grim determination. That may be fine until things get steep and challenging on skis or mind boggling on a computer. I've been going through a lot of that lately learning a lot of new ( camera) tech under time pressure. I've shot vid and edited on my mac for years, but this week nothing I know is helping. WE ALL NEED MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS ONE! Thank you. I've been subscribed for a while and your is my go to video for I Movie. Still haven't mastered it yet and get furious at times because I had the older program down. They changed so much but I have yet to see an advantage in outcome. But thank heavens there is a tutorial that I can follow. Thanks again
ps now I dare to download Mojave
I just did it. Up and running!
Charles Proulx a
Charles, I was a little anxious about that OS change too.....but it's great!
It went down easy for me because this I mac is only a few months old. Last year I had to change OS on a nine year old I mac. That was scary but got me through 9 months with a teetering Hard Drive. But back to Mojave -- I'm 69 and my eyes are liking the dark background. I have a few eye conditions and the strain at the end of the day isn't doing my eyes any good. Eliminating all that glare has been a relief. BTW I'm in NH an hour north of Boston. Another New Englander.
Honestly I have tried to upgrade on computers for years.
I got a few basics but decided after my iPhone to upgrade to Mac.
So every tiny thing I knew was gone.
Tech Talk America is Amazing.
I am now trying daily to grasp this foreign stuff to me.
Thanks
After using Windows for almost 20 years I found it really hard to deal with my new macbook. This is the best video I found on youtube. Thank you so much
Same here but now i love mac. I stopped gaming and now im actually pretty good money because i couldn't game anymore so i got bored and started to make money.
I have been a PC user and Programmer for many years...since 1985, but have never used an iMac. I found an older, used one for sale on Amazon at a price I could not resist, so as soon as it is delivered I will need all of the information I learned from this video. I realize that some of the features may not be available on my iMac, but at least I learned how to navigate through the different settings to explore the settings for the functions I do have. I have used an iPad for several years, but some of the things on the iMac are different than on the iPad, so I am essentially a beginner when it comes to using an iMac. Thank you for this video to help make my first exposure to iMacs a little less confusing.
I've been using a Mac for several years, but never took the time to go into detail setting it up. This tutorial is excellent and very clear and with an hour to spare I learned quite a few tricks to make using the Mac more efficient. Thanks David.
Yes me too😂
Been a PC user for almost 20 years and absolutely NO knowledge on Macs, but your video was so well put and the way you explain things is clear and very helpful! Thank you!!
You are my most trusted Mac teacher! I recommend you to all my friends and family. You have saved me so much time and saved me from unnecessary heartache. Thank you so very much David!
Your tutorial videos are the best available! I have wasted time on content creators who use misleading titles, go way too fast or who are simply in it for views. I am learning so much and coming back for reference later. I have been unable to find clear & concise information like I’ve gotten from your videos. As a very new user (1 week newbie) it’s been invaluable.
I never used MAC before, I started to have an interest in learning how to use this OS. Your is deadly simple. Great work. Thanks
David-
I just found your UA-cam Tutorials and am addicted, in the best way. I have always been a PC user and only recently have seriously begun to try to learn how Apple MacBook & various Apple devices work. I have used an iPhone (now iPhone 11) and an iPad for years, but have been really frustrated and dreaming that I would be able to find a tutor (online is great) and maybe sometime will be able to consult directly with you.
Your series on Apple devices has been a Godsend! I have a MacBook Air -Mojave edition and have reviewed your tutorial for Mac beginners 2 times in the last few days.
You have a great presentation style and the selected content that you focus on is perfect as an introduction to the essential aspects of the operating system with your references to PC (secondary vs right click) being very useful.
I hope to do some iMovies at some point in the future and have lots of recorded videos waiting to be edited. As a note that will be curious to you, when I was in East Africa I (1968 as a Peace Corps Volunteer) I used a "reel to reel" video recorder, carried on a backpack, to record training activities in farming Co-op village settings. Needless to say, there was no editing done, except what I could edit when recording.
I look forward to continuously reviewing your various UA-cam trainings and at some time talking directly with you.
Thanks so much for your excellent, creative tutorials,
Best Regards-

Can't stress enough how helpful this was. I'm a new Mac user more accurately I'm a Mac mini user so this was incredibly informative.
Thanks so much, David. I've actually used Mac products solely since 1987. This video was SO HELPFUL. So many of the things you laid out I have either never used OR had to do searches in Mac Communities to figure out. I just upgraded to a new iMac from my mid 2011. Before doing so I watched another of your videos to show me what I needed to do when backing up to my old iMac before migrating to the new. Clean My Mac is a wonderful app too! Again, this 67 year old woman thanks you!
wanted to say thanks for this video, while I'm a Windows user for about 25 years (though having used Mac OS during grade school) I am applying for a job that the company used Mac Computers so I figured I would study up on the new Mac OS and your video has been very helpful with explain how to use the OS
Omg...so helpful! I bought my MacBook Pro I think 3 years ago. And I was so frustrated trying to figure out how to use it’s been sitting in a drawer. I’m not kidding...Three years! Best class ever!
Purchased My 1st MacBook Today, Watching your video, enjoying while learning. Thanks for wonderful effort :)
David, thank you so much! I’ll be starting a new job that requires 100% Mac usage and now I can walk in feeling like a boss 💪 You’ve got such a patient demeanor-you’d make a wonderful driving instructor! Your tutorials are so concise yet easy to follow. Thanks again 😀👍
I have a MacBook Air 11" which I bought a few years ago in Bangkok. I found you while searching for fixes for an erratic cursor. Busy now, I have subscribed and coming back.
At 72, I have spent big chunks of my working life in education, and it is indeed very refreshing to find you Sir. 🤝

OMG This was the greatest video I was able to find. I just got a macbook air for school and I've been using PC my whole life so I had no idea how to find my documents etc. This was super informative and detailed. Thank you so much, kind stranger!!!
my mackbook pro is the best tool ive ever bought and its only lately that ive taken the time to start learning these vids are great free education is what i want youtube has always been a treasure to me so far
Thank you very much for this video! Switching from windows to Mac for me is like trying to learn how to write with my other hand.
Absolutely needed this!
Just bought my first Apple macbook pro and a new iPhone
After being a Windows pro user and a Samsung user for YEARS!
Thank you for this video.
Getting a Mac tomorrow I’ve been using windows my entire life. Thank you very much for this!!!
Same here I got it yesterday. How do you like your mac so far? It's the small differences that make me nuts but I'll learn them within a few days hopefully.
TrueLies I was totally lost at first but I really love it now especially linking with my iPhone
Grace Anne OK good I needed to hear that lmao! I'm already loving it but yes I'm lost :/
TrueLies I spent 2 hours trying to install google chrome I installed it just fine but there was a little folder in the desktop and I hated how it looked so I was trying to get rid of it and I thought dragging in into the bin would delete the whole app 🤦🏼♀️
Grace Anne I feel your pain 😂
Long time Windows user just got a MacBook Pro. I only watched 5 minutes so far and I can say this is a great video. Thank you
This is the best training ever available for new mac owners (like myself). Huge thanks from India, keep making such videos!
I am a first time MacBook user at 80 years old. Folks at the Apple Store in Ala Moana Center (Honolulu) were very helpful. Then I found you on U Tube. This is a lot more convenient. Thanks.
You'll love it. No more of starting up the computer and thinking "oh no..what virus protection do I use? I hope I get the one that will work!"
Thanks David really from the bottom of my heart . You taught me a lot in Macbook . I shift to Mac OS world easily due to your support for 3 years now . I have bought PDF Expert for Mac and it is really marvelous. Thanks again for your time and efforts. You really make the change .
Hello David. Thank you for your great videos. I am new to Mac computer and just found the nerve to to try
You
Unable I
It. I would like to learn more via private lessons.
Would like to learn how to set up the moja
Thank you so much!! I just switched from pc to Mac and was so lost! I started to get sad and mad. I honestly started hating my Mac but after watching your video... I fell in LOVE and Im so happy I switched!!!
This is a great class. Thanks David! I’m making the switch to Mac when my MacBook Pro arrives, and have been panicking, but now I feel a bit less worried.
Hi David. I am planning to buy a Macbook Air 2020 quad core i5 with 512Gb ssd. It's going to be my first ever mac, a little anxious but binge watching your videos is helping with that anxiety. I hope it goes well. Thanks for being awesome.
Brilliant video. As a beginner it has got me off to a flying start. You showed me things I did not know were there. Thank you
You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
Video was top-quality. I have been using medical computers for over 20 years now and I just picked up a new Mac Desktop. My last computer lasted 10 years but unfortunately it stopped updating the iOS 3 generations ago. So there’s a lot to learn on the new operating system. Even though I am somewhat computer literate it’s nice to know that there is a person that takes time out of their day to go over every new feature. Thank you
Dave thanks so much for the video. It was very informative. I'm a new Mac user and I was overwhelmed by how different the systems are from regular PCs. But thanks to you video I do feel a bit more confident in using my new MacBook Pro.
Yes I know, I'm way behind the times, but just got my first I phone last week and first Mac today. A well done and helpful tutorial for new users... Thanks for saving me days of exploring on my own.
I just bought a MacBook Air 2019 first time having a MacBook. This one helps. A lot. 🙏🏻 thank you!
Thank you David for all your information AND for not talking so fast so I can’t keep up. I’m new to a Mac, coming from Windows use for years.
I appreciate that you’ve made the material available in a PDF file. I’m going to print it so that I can learn even more at my own pace!
Planning on making a Big Sur version?
I just purchased a Macbook Pro after using windows for 20 years. Very informative and will need to watch again and take notes. Thank you. By the way your voice is very calming an easy to follow along.
Excellent, Its one thing having the knowledge, its another imparting it. This video is so helpful to everyone who is not too much tech savvy. A big thanks to you David for such an easy to follow explanation that no Manual could achieve. Keep up the good work, always something to learn.
I got my first ever Mac about 6 months ago and whilst I don't consider myself an absolute beginner, I'm far from an experienced user. Despite planning otherwise, I actually watched the entire video and picked up a few very nice and handy tips! I really enjoyed the style of the video and the fact that you went in just enough detail to keep it useful and interesting.
dude that eyes
Really? I watched again, hell yes!
Vampire
*those
fake. contacts. duh.
Paul Henderson mate your a spaz
Thank you so much. Been told that I have been a PC user too long to use Mac. BS. All this stuff is intuitive. So I'm older, and have a few memory problems. I have had some memory issues since childhood. So I am used to knucking down and learning new stuff. This is how you avoid atrophy , and loss of the ability to use your brain.
David, this induction to new users is fabulous! Thank you so much for dedicating the time to provide a sound overview of the basics. Looking at my MacPro i was truly overwhelmed. Thank you for the induction and the concise instructions. You rock!
You're a LEGEND. Learnt a lot from your videos. Bought my first Mac after being Windows user for almost 15 years. I love how you teach.
Thank you so much!! I love doing it.
Even, though, I usually know (mostly) all features. I watch these videos, to see whether if I really do know these features.
Great content. :)
I just got a Macbook Air and these classes have really helped me figure out how to use it. I am primarily a windows user so I didn't have any idea where to start on my macbook air. Thanks a lot.
good stuff and very informative !!! i had been using windows for 20 years.. just got a macbook pro and this tutorial is awesome.. !!!! just what i needed...
Dear David,
I‘m a new Mac user using it for the first time after 15 years of using Windows. Your lessons are JUST great! Thanks a million!
Great video I feel like we have a common mindset half of the things you said were familiar to me and I never used MACs before. Command button is like ctrl button on windows also I use malwarebytes on my windows pc. I was a Mac hater and now I love the simplicity and will give it a try.
Thanks for the work. Realy appreciate it. Can you pleas3 make a new video with macos big sur. Thanks.
Thank you!
I’ve never seen a video from you that I didn’t learn from.
Another excellent class. Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Been using a Mac for years, but ALWAYS learn something from you.
I never used MAC before, I started to have an interest in learning how to use this OS. Your is deadly simple. Great work. Thanks
I've followed him for at least 10+ years. Clear and thorough instructions to watch as often as you like.
I've never seen an eye color like this. perfect
If anyone was wondering the 'option' button is, it is the button with 'alt' written on it. Note sure why it isnt referred to as the alt button, especially in a new user tutorial video...
Thank you! Just purchased my first MacBook Pro or Mac ever. Love it! Looking forward to watch more of your videos.
Thanks Dave, I been with windows the past 20 years and was one of those anxiety suffers when it came to Mac, you just enlightened me with an easy to follow, comprehensive tutorial that helped me in a major way. Thanks again my friend..
This man is teaching awesome 👏👏... Thanks David 😊
I am a brand new Mac user, and haven't owned a computer for 5 years. this video is super helpful. Thank you!
Thanks David for the great resources.
Just bought a new MacBook Pro after not utilizing a MacBook for a few years... and really needed this tutorial - thanks a million
I find there is always something to learn from your presentations David. Appreciated, thank you 👍👍
Thanks a million David I still consider myself new to the Mac and computing , and at age 66 learning new stuff is not always so easy.
However I have found your classes most illuminating
Thank you for your Mac tutorial! You cleared up a lot of my confusion as a new Mac user!
thank you for this tutorial video. Just yesterday got a Mac for work and I'm a complete newby with it, this really helped!
Me: opens video even though I already know how to use computers
You: introduces yourself
Me: looks at your eyes
Me: pretends to forget about computers just to look at DEM EYES
Fabulous Class! Just got hired to a new job that only uses MAC. This class set me up for success! Thank you for making this FREE!!!
LOVE YA David! ALWAYS reliable, friendly and helpful presentations. Very much appreciated.
This is my first MacBook. An A1286 macbook pro 15' with an icore 7 from 2012 with 16 gigs of RAM and a 512 gigs SSD Samsung 860 Evo. It's lightning fast :) Thanks for this awesome video :)
Checked out Pdf,s as suggested, Mojave edition not listed. /
Mind blown. Some of these tips - dictation, keyboard text shortcuts are going to save me so much time. Especially when I need to type in a second language. Thanks so much!
I don’t know 🤷♂️ why.....but this is ASMR for me... love 💗 your videos
Thank you for this. It was the first tutorial I chose for my newish, refurbished 2013 MacBook Pro. It has been so long since I used a Mac, I couldn't even use the models on display at Best Buy. This was very useful, and a good use of my time. Thanks again!
Omg i can understand someone finally thank you for this class
Thanks a lot David sir , atleast with the help of your teaching imac 50% i learrned how to use this computer but stil learning more from you by watching your vedios . with huge respect to you , Sundaram from india
Ok but can I just say that your eyes are perfect? Okay thanks. Back to the video-
David, as a new convert to Mac, your instructional videos are proving very informative.
Good morning my is Nasiru Isah from Nigeria I bought a used imac that is not working at all luckily being fixed by friend he says is a power problem but when brought it back home I find out there's a password so I follow some tips that makes me get access to the imac but even though if i logout old password is still there and I try command + r but it's not responding it's not given any options please I need your help thank you
IDK. I was on Windows for 10 years before Macs, and OSX was just as familiar, but much much easier and comfortable(my first OS X was Leopard). Like it has anything that was missing in windows for me.
Also… Chrome is a garbage on macs. Slower, doesn’t have typing autocorrection like Safari(extremely handy if you typing a lot or have specific spelling issues), very nasty bookmarks organizing, ugly UI, etc… Only advantage is for those who using UA-cam a lot, because google optimizing it only for chrome, even animated previews.
I've been using macs for 20+ years and there's still a lot of stuff here I learned. Bravo!
You should wear sunglasses during your videos, your blue eyes are so bright and piercing!
😂
Otherwise, I enjoyed your video very much, very informative indeed.
I now have my very first ever 15 Inch MBP - DEC 2016 with the Touch Bar.
My previous Apple Laptops have been the 17 Inch models, right back from the day when they were called PowerBooks.
he seems to use special lenses that transform his pupils from natural black to multiple circles, perhaps he finds that cool and charming. While it is ok I personally find natural eyes more pleasant.
Starting a new job soon where I will get m new M1 Macbook Pro. Never worked wit MacOs before so thanks a lot four your effort to making this video. It really helped a lot.
oh I just watched a video from.... 2013 for your basics...😂
haha i did the same
Thank you so much! I am a forever-PC user but my work is making me switch to Apple. This video was right up my alley and I learned a lot. Thank you for all the tips.
Why am I watching this I don't even own a Mac. 🤷♀️
SuAz Gaming sameeee 🤣
You knew what you signed up for... You did this to yourself. XD
I finally got Mojave running on my 2012 mini via USB 3 SSD. So far, so good, and it even now boots to the SSD - last fall it would fail to boot on SSD and go back to pokey-slow internal HDD. Hopefully I'm all updated now. Thanks for the Mojave tutorial!
damn, i just felt dizzy when I focus looking on your eyes. lol....
As an Apple fan boy owning an iPhone, Apple Watch, and an iPad, it’s time to try MacOS. Fantastic video- thank you!
Am I the only one who is super confused?! 🤷🏾♂️
I was confused at the finder part.
Artsy Dreamm 15 what are you confused about maybe i can help?
Yes
I am right here with you
David, thank you for your video tutorial and the PDFs. I am new to the Mac Family. My MacBook Pro has sat unopened for a week until now. Thank you for making the switch from my Surface Pro tolerable.
Yes I have to say I bought a 2 TB MacBook Pro to do some video editing about three months ago. I made it through the basic project I needed to do but it’s just been sitting there ever since and I’ve been using my $200 Hewlett-Packard Stream. I have been on windows since computers came out so it’s definitely hard for me to make the transition. It’s really like learning a new language at 44 years old. I’m still using Microsoft paint daily. It’s just very hard to learn the basics like cut and paste and screen capping and switching through programs and saving files and finding them and stuff. On windows it flows subconsciously without even thinking about it and I can work 1 million times faster. I know I should take advantage of this awesome computer I have just collecting dust in front of me so I’ve started watching a few videos.
What a great help for me. I've had Macs for longer than I can remember, including my now 8-year-old mac, hopefully to be replaced soon. I can usually fix stuff that goes wrong, but being basically a hunt and peck sort of person, and too hurried to understand what the heck Apple was saying about mostly anything (though they were always polite), I just mucked along, fixing what I had to, but never really understanding how all the parts worked. I absolutely loved your class, and learned so much. You are clear and concise, easy to follow and I am very grateful. So if you see an old lady in a beat-up car with a flag saying DAVID COX ROCKS! you'll know it's me. Thank you.
Thank you for you very informative class. I am new to Mac, I just bought a brand new MacBookAir and I want to be certain on how to use it. I’ve saved your presentation for future reviews. Thanks again.
I don't usually comment, like or share anything with my account on UA-cam. Also I'm not a Mac beginner, but I watched it anyway cause is always good to see someone else's knowledge/opinion about things that you know/use, so I would like to congratulate yourself for the quality and content of the video, really straight forward and I'm sure it helped tons of people out there.. I'm subscribed to the channel now and hoping for some more content and shared knowledge. Keep up the good work! Cheers.
Wow! I love your post! and more importantly, I love the way you did the commercial break---- Thats so creative!!! Just got a new Mac Book (2020 Model), first time of using a Mac Book, thanks to your tutorial, I understand how to use the laptop now 😍❤️😘💕
I just ordered my first Mac after whole life using Windows. I loved this class. Thank you very much!!!
