Hidden Mac Tricks for macOS EXPERTS!

- Quinn Nelson of Snazzy Labs shows you the best hidden macOS features that even longtime power users of OS X don't know!
Terminal Commands:
Tip 3: defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate ScheduleFrequency -int 1
Tip 5: defaults write -g ApplePressAndHoldEnabled -bool FALSE
Tip 7: sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow LoginwindowText “ENTER HERE”
(NOTE: you will have to enter your computer's admin password after this command-the password won't look like it is being entered, but it is-hit "return" once you type password to run command)

For the last tip, you don't need a Terminal Command. Just open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > And there is an option for Show a message when the screen is locked. "Set lock message".
But the terminal method is cooler....... Gives you that programmer vibes......
JK, that option is much easier, and I didn't knew that! Thanks!
I was about to comment the exact same thing!
Same
cool
Thank you Adam. The last tip was not working for me when I hit space (it was working on single words), but now it's fine!
Great tips....definitely going to use the last one.
Thanks for watching, Aaron!
Every other Tech UA-camr: “iPhone X!”
Snazzy: “Screw this lets show some MacOS tips”
Think Different
...
haha
LOL
Snazzy Labs you could never work for Apple with that attitude 😀
i dont even have a mac nor i know how to use a mac, but i watched this video because its a snazzy video
Usually with videos like this, I know all of the tips. However, I hadn’t heard of a single one. This was excellent!
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Hello!
So... Want to make a podcast?
nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn I agree! :D Great tips, thank you!
Didn't know mac needed a command for that....
Dexter Could be worse. On Windows you have to type some asinine hotkey for every non-standard character.
I love that you actually show a few tips I *didn't* know! Too many vids rehash the same (often cool but useless) Mac tricks. You gave lots of practical tools for increasing productivity, like the accents on letters, the emoji window, and the F5 key giving options for completing words when unsure how to spell them. Very helpful! Thanks!
Fantastic video Quinn! The F5 shortcut will be a lifesaver! That happens to be constantly!
Each time i watch one of those videos you make about mac os tips i realize how little i know about how to use my computer...
+Karim Sab I discover new stuff often myself and I've been a Mac OS X user since the 2000 beta.
same
Same here
Never surprises me just how ridiculously powerful macOS is under the hood with all those little tips and tricks. That spelling trick is quite handy :)
Hey! I hope this doesn't sound too ignorant, but does using Terminal commands affect my AppleCare warranty? I tried looking it up but had no luck finding a clear answer. Thank you in advance!
Nope! You’re good. :)
@@snazzy Appreciate it! 💯
For the Login message, you can also go through:
System Preferences -> Security and Privacy -> Unlock -> "Show a message when screen is locked" and set a message
Love your channel. When you say "you probably didn't know", you're actually right most of the time, unlike other channels.
Glad to hear. Thanks so much for watching! :D
You can also set the lock screen message (Tip #7) at System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General > Set Lock Message.
On Mojave, at least, you can.
Not sure who would dislike this video, even if you don't use these shortcuts there is no denying this is some pretty cool info. Thank you
more helpful then watching iPhone X getting unboxed.
I really love these videos! It's not easy to become a power user if no-one show these tricks. All other web pages or videos only tell those simple tricks. Thanks for this! :D
if your uncomfortable with terminal.
for text on login u could just go SP > Security & Privacy > General > set lock message...
but there is a character limit, its a big limit but it is still a limit.
Yo Quinn! Glad to see you’re still making videos
Sweet! This was the first one of these where I actually learned new things! lol I only knew about the App Store update Terminal command this time around. Well done :)
Finally watched one of these and already knew one of the tips...man this is educational stuff.
snazzy always finding the most unique and yet most useful mac/ios tips. nice work
I just remembered that I don’t have a Mac, yet I still watch every Mac video Snazzy uploads!
Talk about being devoted to a UA-cam channel!
These are really good tips, but the last thing(label on lock screen) is also available from macos system prefferences(somewhere in accounts)
Loved the last tip, because right now i have a note with my namn and number, now I’ll use both methods
Wow. This was actually helpful. The tip with pressing the key for other options like ñ was unknown to me. Always did the option plus the programed keys. Your way is way easier to teach people then just memorizing that many shortcuts just for typing a document, since I'm brazilian and we use it this special letters a lot. Great job.
I wonder how tip 7 is different from going to System preferences > Security & Privacy > Show a message when the screen is locked? As in, does it do anything differently?
its the same
This is by far my go to channel for Mac tips 🙂
OMG I'm a windows user but after watching a couple videos of you I'm in love with Mac
Wow.. the text on the login screen is a new one for me! Gonna be doing that for sure!
LOVE the new rename tip! I actually used to use Automator to perform this sort of task, but now thanks to you, I now know that I can rename multiple Finder items using Finder! 😄
Also, the Login Screen message can also be configured in the System Preferences inside Security & Privacy, and under the General Tab.
(You’ll still need to enter your Administrator Login Password to configure it, though.)
Fab Quinn! Top job! The test fragments tip is a real winner.
This is the very first video by you that I watch but the comments say so many great things about you that I had to subscribe 😝
Terminal is great. But you can do the key repeat thing from keyboard preferences.
The best video that I have watched about the Mac OS tricks. Please make more of such videos. but on tip-7 I am getting: "Unexpected argument ”; leaving defaults unchanged."
I forgot that you can actually do Tip-7 from the GUI. If you go into Sys Prefs --> Security & Privacy --> "Set Lock Message"
Nice video.! You should upload more frequently.
I've been trying. School is killing me right now! Luckily midterm season has started to die down so I should be pretty free to make videos until finals next month.
i know the pressure of school. I can't make a lot of vids either.
Are you still in undergrad, or are you doing post-grad stuff?
This video is so helpful, you offer some solutions to the things I have been struggling with for months. Thank you
WOOOOW!! These are all amazing tips!! I especially loved pressing F5 for autocompletion of words!!
You can do the last command in system preferances, you just have to go to systems and privacy and click the lock icon, after that make sure your in the generals tab and then click set lock screen message as and the type its that easy no terminal commands
Oooo, man! You're great! The hint about alternative letters is priceless!
The last tip is also available from the system preferences!
Nice to see you back!
"Hidden Mac Tricks for macOS EXPERTS!" > Explains how to find terminal
He was just describing steps
Thanks for getting to the content immediately without a long, drawn out preamble that almost every other “TOP 67 WAYS to CORE a PEACH!!!” videos do.
Thanks for all the tips, about F5, it doesn't work with me its just controlling the backlight for the keyboard.
Press 'fn' + 'F5'
Are those clicks keyboard noises some sort of effect you can turn on in macOS, or is that your actual keyboard? Sounds super satisfying😍
Glad to have this video showing in my subscription box! Mac OS sounds simple to me!
Thank you for the tips!! The cut n paste tip is legit my fav! Thank you so much 😁
Amazing
I ALWAYS watch your videos regarding this type of content
😉
Finally a couple of more tricks I didn't know. Everybody says the same "secrets" these days....
Best osX/Mac Videos on youtube
There is a system preference option for the "NNNNNNNN" thing too, I think it is in accessibility.
For TIP#7 you can easily access this in Settings & Privacy > Set Lock Message
Login text can be changed in system preference as well.
Thanks for making my experience on my new Mac good!!!
+Shubham Kamath Enjoy it!!
The F5 shortcut for the dictionary is legendary! Thanks Quinn.
any chance you know the command on the new M1 macbooks? :)
Bro these tricks are really handy. Thumbs up 👍🏽
One of the best UA-cam channels ever
Thank you! :D
How is control + command + space any different to clicking to bring up the menu?
I wonder if you could make another Hackintosh video but with Threadripper. Your previous builds were really cool. Also, great tricks you just showed us. :D
Might try to give this a shot!
the 2nd tip doesn't work. i get no completion of words with F5 or fn F5
(it works in TextEdit but not on any other things i try)
Same here. The other tips all work. I've looked through 'shortcuts' but don't know which option to bind to enable that dictionary completion.
Just click Fn+F5 and it works everywhere
Nope.
Doesn't work for me either, in any app.
try shift + f5 it worked for me.
Mostly, If I watch videos with MacOS tips and tricks, I already know them. This video however, had so many tricks I didn’t know. Thanks!
Iphone ipod can very easily be unlocked. You don't even have to try with mac you can do it right at the bootup or just blank the hard drive and install a fresh MacOS, recommeneded anyway to clean the system.
Hi,
I tired this command...
{ sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow LoginwindowText “This computer is linked to an iCloud account and can be tracked if opened, Please return it by calling 8########## Rewards included...” }
and after this i entered my password but i got a message {Unexpected argument computer; leaving defaults unchanged.}
What did i type wrong ?
Ok, this was one of the Best Mac OS tip videos I have ever seen! Thanks!
Snazzy! Keep these videos coming. I always enjoy seeing what cool unknown features are inside of the Apple OS X environment. How's the RyzenTosh BTW? Another video?
Haha "don't touch this" cracked me up!! I bet ppl would touch it all the more with that staring at their faces 😀
That desktop wallpaper is beautiful
That clicky mechanical keyboard sounds so good
Hah, jokes on you! I actually _have_ heard all these tips before.
...Because I watched this video a few months ago and loved it so much that I just have to watch it again to absorb all the information
The last one can be done without the terminal. Just go to System Preferences > Security and Privacy > General and click "Show a message when screen is locked"
I love the sound of your keyboard
hey there and just wanted to say that video is very useful and need this kind of video for a long time
Super useful! Just knew 2 or so. Thank you!
Loved tip 6! Tip 1 however just brings up the character viewer. Perhaps it only works with Tweetbot?
This why I love this channel. So many useful things. Thanks, Quinn. :)
You are macOS pro guy! Keep the work flowing 👍🏻
I love the last tip... 👍🏼👍🏼
I LOVE THESE TIP VIDEOS! I’d love to see one for the iPhone X
Great tips! What I really want is for the letter “I” to auto capitalize in MacOS it does in iOS but not MacOS. Very annoying
Clint, the "ń" is exact equivalent of Spanish "ñ", in Polish. So you spell it "ne" as well.
Great video. I am new to Mac and these tips are very useful.👍🏽
Very voice is very warm and soothing. Thank you for the tips. Super like
That third tip is a really good way to prank somebody by delaying their software updates.
Love these videos! Always learn something new from them. Thanks!
Great video! Is it possible to share all your setup on your Mac? Thanks!
I *love* the Services menu! Terminal scares me, however. I think I accidentally unmounted the HD of my first iMac years ago by typing in the wrong Terminal command. IDK what else could have destroyed it. The Genius Bar couldn't repair it. It was only 3 years old. So, yeah, terrified of Terminal.
I did read the comments trying to find a clue but no one.
The last Tip did not work out for me. I get this message:
->Unexpected argument 55; leaving defaults unchanged.
What should I do?
The login writing or message can be done in settings no need to go into terminal
You know that you can also show a message on the lock screen on your Mac by going in the system preferences and then security and privacy and then general and then click the checkbox next to show a message when the screen is locked
Loving these kind of videos Quinn :D many useful tips and tricks :D
This is AWESOME!! Adding it to my UA-cam University playlist in hopes that it helps others one day 🙌🏽😇
I really like few tips, which are super awesome!
Love these videos! Been a long time since the last one.
I love the way you say very very very handy !!
I was a windows and android user since Smartphones arrived. Once the big iPhone (6+) came out, I got one and was in love! I used to have to carry external batteries and a charger for my note 2,3. Once I got the 6+ I never had battery issues again. I had a note pro 12.2 tablet I bought in 2014. It is basically useless now because it’s still stuck on lollipop. However, the iPad Air 2 I got in 2014 is running on ios12.4 and is just as fast as my 2018 iPad Pro 12.9 on the same firmware. Then...... the most amazing thing, I got a used 2013 iMac with the I-7, 32gigs ram and a 256 ssd. All upgrades from a store here. I will NEVER use a windows pc again! The difference is just ridiculous. I recently tried to install an app on my gf’s windows 10 laptop and I literally wanted to throw it out the window! Took 45 minutes to update before I could do anything at all. After about 3 hours it was finally running ok. NEVER AGAIN! Macs are just far superior.
Hey In Tip 7, once created, How do I get rid of login window text? What's the reverse command?
It seems the first two tips (Spelling and Emojis) doesn't want to work when when you are using the MS Office stuff like MS Outlook. Works perfectly in Pages etc. but for some reason F5 brings up a "Find and Replace" screen. The Emoji meno comes up, but when i click on the one i want it does not insert it into the new mail.
Thank you so much i pretty much changed every feature you just showed us
You’re welcome!
