@@JeffSu It's essential to my file management through the Open/Save dialogue window. One area in which it stands out is Opening from or Saving to a file that's in a deeply nested folder. If you have a finder window open to that desired folder, when the Open/Save dialogue box pops up within an Application, regardless of the folder showing in the Open/Save window, you can mouse out of the window, click on the desired folder from the finder and it will instantly appear as the active folder in the Open/Save dialogue box (not sure that explanation helps). That's just one of dozens of features it adds to my work flow. I've been using Default Folder X for so long and it's so ubiquitous to my workflow that It's like muscle memory.
@@JeffSu yes and no on the learning curve. Right out of the box you'll find a dozen simple intuitive integrations to your work flow. Then after watching a few videos you'll want to add all kinds of custom group folder functionality (say for a specific project where assets reside in multiple folders). It also sits up in the Apple menu bar and you can easily customize specific folder fly outs and shortcuts for quick access. And I have nothing to do with this app in any way other than being a huge fan.
Ur talking speed is perfect! idk what that other guy was talking about. It’s nice to see a UA-cam that gets straight to the point and ur talking pace matches perfectly w my listening pace it’s speed is perfect
I just wanted to take a moment to thank you for creating such a helpful video on the "FIRST 18 THINGS TO DO" with a new Macbook Pro. Your clear and concise instructions were incredibly useful for someone like me who is not very tech-savvy. Your video made the process of setting up and customizing my new Macbook Pro a breeze! Your efforts in creating and sharing this video have not gone unnoticed, and I'm sure that many others like me have benefited from your helpful tips and tricks. Once again, thank you for taking the time to create this video and for sharing your knowledge with the community.
I love how you just instantly started to get into it with all these settings, thanks! It's been 5 months I got my mac and never done these things fr now I see how incredible and useful it is
A few suggestions for customizing macOS: * Settings - Accessibility, Trackpad, enable 3 finger drag * Settings - customize the menu bar clock and turnoff AM/PM and day of week * Control center - hide spotlight from menu bar (no need to see it), and move power icon to control center vs menu bar * Finder settings - turn on or check the option to keep folders on top vs mixed with file names * App - Use the Bartender app to hide extra icons and customize the menu bar
What a great tutorial that was mate! And it came at the right time. One week ago i bought my first Macbook and since migrating from 20+ year use of Windows, i needed that video!!!! Thank you once more!
Thansk Jeff. I already applied some of the tips when I saw your video earlier. Last week, I reformatted my mac and this video was super helpful. Love the content.
I am a new Macbook Pro 14 M3 owner & I am more than glad to stumble on your Video Tutorial, to be honest amongst all the videos I watched regarding setting up a new MacBook you're the only one I followed. Indeed you're sarcastic but in a great way. I'm also a new sub. Great job dude
This is amazing, I really appreciate it. Got my MacBook in the mail yesterday, and although I’ve used office Mac’s for work before, I’ve always just “accepted” their default settings. This video is perfect for someone like me who just bought their own Mac. I love you.😗 Also, definitely checking out more of your videos - what quality content, and just reading your video titles makes me exited!
@@JeffSu Yeah, first Mac; M2 Max MacBook Pro 16” (30 core GPU / 32GB unified / 1TB SSD). I initially wanted the 14”, but I’m not going to rely on external monitor(s) too often, so the extra inches makes a difference to me. The M2 Pro probably would’ve been enough, but I couldn’t resist the few extra benefits of the (base) M2 Max. My wallet keeps stink eyeing me from the corner of the room, though.
I just wanted to say thank you for your channel. I have been preparing for upcoming interviews and I cannot say enough about how beneficial I find your videos on this topic.
man I think you doing great at this, and apple needs to sponcr you, I'm a new user of the MAC system and learn a lot from your channel, Btw the sarcastic way is the best way, keep it on, you are doing a great job and channel will get supported to get 1M soon
Absolutely BRILLIANT! I'm someone who gets frustrated with tech stuff, so I'm loving your unique entertaining and informative style. Mine isn't a brand new MacBook Pro, but I'm already having a better user experience after implementing some of your tips Thanks!
Thank you for the tips Jeff! Enjoyed the quick but very clear run through, I've never done these steps before but surely makes sense to properly set up my mac before using it! 🤩
The "search this mac" im crying! The the show recent applications 05:18.. I'm always like, "why are those still there" and have accepted that feature for years. hahaha, Thank you!
@@JeffSu Show scroll bars always, rearrange spaces on most recent use, activating hot corners accidentally, calendar settings, showing path and status bar, the finder settings. Most of all searching for a document settings. It was driving me nuts that it could never find files I knew were in documents but would only find random irrelevant app support files. Anyways, I pretty much followed all your settings and it's a game changer for productivity. Much appreciated!
System settings -> trackpad -> tap to click (enable) System settings -> Accessibility -> Pointer Control -> Trackpad options -> Use trackpad for dragging (enable) System settings -> Desktop & Dock -> Minimize windows into application icon (enable) dropover for copy&past
Great Vid! I want to add the Mos app which enables you to set custom scroll directions independently of the input device. I used to use ScrollReverser but it had a few bugs for M1s so switched to Mos. Cheers!
@@JeffSu It was mostly macOS internal settings including Wallpaper tinting, scrollbar settings, set service order, show filename extensions. Tinkertool and IINA media player were two additions in my app list from this video
@@JeffSu You can basically convert or merge 100+ file types to anything you want. I use it mostly for converting video formats for compatibility but you can extract mp3 from video or merge pdfs together.
I am expecting my new overpriced MacBook Pro to be delivered today, and I think this is the best, most 'unsarcastic' setup video for it that I have seen! I will definitely be replaying this at 0.005% speed again when it gets here to step through all these config settings. Thanks Jeff.
@@omariwest9068 same. been using PC for my entire life, I've built multiple PCs, been into all the PC gaming stuff, and recently I've defected. currently own the m3 max 40core. the OS and the hardware is just so unbelievably impressive and I cannot see myself ever going back
So what was the other option for the Corners? I saw you turned it off but said you'd get to it later unless i missed it? I use top left to lock, bottom left to show desktop, and top right to show notification menu. If you have a better config please let me know. Great video nonetheless!
@@JeffSu Hmm I’m going to install it today, I may be thinking of dropover or another one. They all look similar. The first one I tried I had to select the file/image then wiggle for the box to appear
@@JeffSu As you guessed, I'm not, but I'm an English teacher in love with the English language (and, of course, tech, as I'm also a computer science teacher).
@@JeffSu I'm not sure will it be useful for me, but I added AirDrop icon to the Finder menu. And I finally make Finder to search in the current folder, not in the entire Mac.I believe this one is the favourite =))
Thank you for this video. Just got my first MacBook pro yesterday and it's exactly the type of information i was looking for in order to set it in the most convenient way without all the useless bs and spending hours on clickbait vidéos. Just good tips to make the macbook "technically" ready for accurate usage. Thank you
Wow, that set service order and changing to ethernet solves my issue of having to turn wifi on every time i want to aidrop something from my ipad or iphone to my imac. I have always kept wifi off, except while using airdrop, because wifi was being prioritized over ethernet, which is always plugged into my imac. That was an AWESOME tip!
For hot corners, you can press option, shift, or control before selecting it and it will add the respective button as a prerequisite to activate the hot corner
@@JeffSu Yup pretty much upgrade from my Intel i3 2020 MacBook Air and straight to the M2 Air 15 inch so for me skipping the M1 chip is going to be insane
Hi Jeff! Great video! The only thing you are doing wrong is still using an old generation app like Alfred instead of Raycast, which is the future Other than that, these are some good recommendations
@@JeffSu the wallpapers available on your website are fantastic, but I was looking for the exact rainbow gradient used as a wallpaper in this video. Any chance to have this one (even by purchasing it)? :)
@@JeffSu lol if your drafts are all like this then you might sell those as well! 😂 Jokes aside, thanks for the kind answers, I’ll try to snag a similar one
This is so cool! I feel so disconnected with Apple recently. Ive been a Mac-user since 2012! But I'm finding it hard to customize my macbook and feel like it doesnt do what I want it do. Doesnt look how I want it to look "inside" even though "outside" it looks sleek and perfect. It's dimming suddenly and then the windows are getting so random.. I end up using my ipad pro most of the time. This explains A LOT!

Wow what an AMAZING comment to wake up to. Thank you so much "AMAZING" Ameya 😁
This video is one of a gem Specially to those users who recently switched to Macs from Windows.. Very Useful. Thanks Man ! Keep Up the Good Work.
I switched 3 years ago and never looked back!
I love how you just instantly started to get into it with all these settings, thanks! It's been 5 months I got my mac and never done these things fr now I see how incredible and useful it is
It's because I value your time 😁
This video alone convinced me to switch from your free to premium newsletter. You are goated... Much love bro. Your passion is unreal. Youre funny af.
Wow that's awesome Christian, welcome to the premium club 😉. Glad you're enjoying the humor as well hahaha
@@JeffSu example 1: what youtuber your size replied to every comment. Keep it up 😎
@@clarsen1010 Answer: Exactly 1 😁
A few suggestions for customizing macOS:
* Settings - Accessibility, Trackpad, enable 3 finger drag
* Settings - customize the menu bar clock and turnoff AM/PM and day of week
* Control center - hide spotlight from menu bar (no need to see it), and move power icon to control center vs menu bar
* Finder settings - turn on or check the option to keep folders on top vs mixed with file names
* App - Use the Bartender app to hide extra icons and customize the menu bar
GREAT additions Will! Just hid spotlight from menu bar after reading this comment 😁
Settings - Accessibility, Trackpad, enable 3 finger drag
Wouldn't recommend this one to users who is already used to 3 finger desktop swap.
@@AmikoEz I used the 4 finger swipe for that one
How you put folders in the top?
@@dieginin You do this under Finder, Settings, General "Keep folders on top" check boxes

Super happy to hear it my friend! Which tip was your favorite if you don't mind me asking? 😁
@@JeffSu 1) Airdrop 2) 2x fingerprint hack (this last one was smart 😉 )
@@apostolis_23 I loved those 2 as well when I first came across them!

I don't use as much anymore ever since I started using Dropzone but I wish I had come across this tip much sooner 😁

Interesting! Would love to hear how Raycast is an "app of the future"!
great review, very smart and well explained
Glad to hear it my friend
Great and useful video, thank you!!
You're welcome 😁
Awesome video, I didn't know ANYTHING you showed. Also, it would be wonderful if you could share a link for your wallpaper, I really like it!
So glad you found that helpful ciru! I have a couple of wallpapers, you can find them here: www.jeffsu.org/gear/
@@JeffSu the wallpapers available on your website are fantastic, but I was looking for the exact rainbow gradient used as a wallpaper in this video. Any chance to have this one (even by purchasing it)? :)
@@ciru8645 Ah I see. So I think the wallpaper I used was one of my drafts (i.e. it didn't make it to the final version for sale) 😂
@@JeffSu lol if your drafts are all like this then you might sell those as well! 😂 Jokes aside, thanks for the kind answers, I’ll try to snag a similar one
This is so cool! I feel so disconnected with Apple recently. Ive been a Mac-user since 2012! But I'm finding it hard to customize my macbook and feel like it doesnt do what I want it do. Doesnt look how I want it to look "inside" even though "outside" it looks sleek and perfect. It's dimming suddenly and then the windows are getting so random.. I end up using my ipad pro most of the time. This explains A LOT!
You got it 😁
hahaha 'too sarcastic' hahaha this is the best channel in the entire UA-cam world! keep up
I think so too 😉, thanks JuaN!
what is the best image viewer for the Mac. something lite - it just needs to open all image formats and fast.
Preview...?
great tips, thanks jeff
No problem 😁
Hi there Jeff! Do you use the default screen resolution or scaled resolution of the Mac?
Depends on your personal preference! I use a scaled resolution 😁
