    I have to say, I have been using Apple/Macintosh for, coming on, 42 years now and I have seen countless “Tips & Tricks” videos. I have never seen one more comprehensive, organized and most importantly, I have never encountered one where I was LITERALLY reaching for an old school pen and paper to try and quickly take notes because I didn’t know about something being discussed. Yea, I reached for that pen and paper about 10% into the video. WOW..!! I’m speechless as to how much this video covered that I never knew about before watching. OUTSTANDING JOB PUTTING THIS TOGETHER..!!

    I just stumbled upon your channel, have now subscribed and will be exploring your video library. Thanks for doing what you do… I appreciate your unassuming and non-arrogant style of showing some great tips. You provide a great reminder of tips and tricks that I’ve forgotten existed and reintroduced things I knew existed but never used, … and best of all, surprised me with some new tricks I never knew existed.
    I’ve been a Mac user since the summer of 1984, after paying a premium price for the privilege of owning a 128k Mac… so, in August, it’ll have been 40 years. Wow… and I still love Apple… though, just like in most long-term relationships, there have been ups and downs, frustration and excitement, often termed a Love/Hate relationship… but never a breakup or divorce. So, thanks again for reintroducing me to a long term love.
    Cheers…

    2. Had forgotten about the Command Shift 5 thing
    3. Never even knew about some of the things Spotlight is actually genuinely useful for, like opening notes and conversions,
    4. never knew you could put UA-cam videos to float like that from a browser.

      @@macmost Actually I have never quite understood the difference between folders and albums as I have ended up with both in Photos. I am not sure why I would put something in a folder or put it in an album. I started with folders for years and made albums to put inside of them with labels like Christmas or Bicycling trips. When I came from a PC everything was in a year folder. Then events were in a folder inside the year folder. Probably not making much sense. Is "Favorites" a folder or an an album? Would I place another folder inside of it or an album. "Favorites" does not have much meaning if too many favorite photos are given the little heart. I will not use this forum for any more question on this issue. I need a video...Thanks for your patience if you might give and answer, that would be great. If not, I understand.

    That was great! Thank you so much! Maybe you (or someone else) can help me with the following problem: When I highlight a piece of text in Mail to move it, it turns blue. I can't get this piece of text moved. The blue selection then cancels as soon as I click on the selected text to move it. Sometimes, very occasionally I manage to move this blue piece of text, but I can't figure out why it suddenly works. It works in the usual copy/paste way. It works fine in most other programs like Word. Why not in Mail?

      Usually not. It depends on how the app developer created it. A quick Command+q will do it. Or Option+Command+Q usually lets you close windows and quit. But if you forget there isn't much to do. A document-based app without a window open isn't usually a problem.
