For those complaining about the link not working or just want quick access to the commands;
1. Show directory path in the Finder title (0:08)
defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool YES; killall Finder
To undo:
defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool NO; killall Finder
2. Add an empty spacer on your dock to space out your Dock icons. (0:54)
defaults write com.apple.dock persistent-apps -array-add '{tile-data={}; tile-type="spacer-tile";}' && killall Dock
To delete spacer, drag spacer to Trash

If something's wrong, reply to this message and I'll fix it.
I love you.
finder path bar can be turned on by clicking view, show path bar
Yeah but this actually frees some space visually, I like this better tbh
Was gonna suggest the same thing .. 👍
Cmd + / (works in Safari, too)
+Justino Bambino Nice! I like that better. Keeps the top folder name intact & easy to read :-)
Yup, although the method he mentions is different, the default (View> Path Bar) way is better for 99% of us users.
GREAT NEWS! Since I'm going full time, you'll see new uploads from me EVERY THURSDAY! Next week, I have an incredible hackintosh build that only cost me $50 to make, and it out-benchmarks the 2016 13" MacBook Pro with Touch Bar! LOL.
Snazzy Labs great to hear
Have your opinions on the Macbook Pro changed at all since your last review?
Most of the annoying bugs are fixed, but I still think it's ludicrously overpriced.
Snazzy Labs we need more windows stuff
I use both but in windows u can do really wonderful stuff basically more open world
Snazzy Labs is the beard going to be back?
I've been watching Quinn for a long time (before the Mormon mission) and the thing I like the most is, videos are not click bait. they're pretty useful, and 99.99% of the times a new thing that's not been shown/done by others 👍
+goforkranthi79 Thanks for the kind words, man!
Most Tech UA-camrs are now only focused in selling us products. They receive and review various products and request us to check the link to Amazon. But none of them show us how that same product is used by them or even if they use them at all.
You sir, are real. You use your tech and teach us valuables tricks you've gathered along the way. And I'm not only talking about the Macs, you do that with your audio equipment as well and I love this kind of video.
3:22 "The dock will kill itself really quickly"
Nicely done...and I didn't know them all and will have to use a few.
just shows how deep you can get into MacOs. Super user friendly and easy on the outside but offers things like this for enthusiasts. Great video
This was an awesome video! I'm super glad to hear you're going full-time, as your videos are always super helpful and easy to follow. Truly, you are one of the best tech UA-camrs out there.
Wow, those are some mighty kind words! Thanks a ton, Briggs. :D
One terminal trick I found a few years back was doing AC-3, 5.1 audio pass through from iTunes via HDMI, instead of having to use the optical/hp out.
You type into terminal: defaults write com. Cod3r. a52codec attemptPassthrough 1
Are the commands able to work in Mojave’s? Dock reveal and dock spacers not working for. Great tips Thank You!🙏👍
Wasn't expecting to learn anything new, but only knew 1 out of 5! Thumbs up. Although content like this might appeal to a smaller subset of the UA-cam audience, I think it could be a good differentiator for the channel.
+Hans Behrens Thanks, Hans! I will keep that in mind. Cheers.
You actually CAN use the quick toggle to restore minimised window - you just have to press [alt] as well. (So you just press [cmd]+[tab] as you normally do, and in the case of minimised window - add the [alt] and then release all three.)
These are the kinds of videos I subscribed for. Useful. Thank you.
+Julian Duque Cheers!
I think you're the only source that gives me 'real' hidden macOs tips and tricks. Everywhere else its all the same recycled stuff.
That first tip for seeing the path of a file is incredibly useful for me. Thanks!
Cheers!
Dude, this is the best and most useful tips ever
The link in description doesn't work for me
One neat trick you can do if you want to see the file path is to do View -> Show Path Bar (or use ⌘⌥P ). You can double click anywhere in the path bar and jump there.
The last one was the best! Thanks!
+destinationpsp :)
The first tip is really handy! Thanks for sharing!!
2:27 You need to hold the Options (Alt) key before releasing the Command key in order to "Unminimize" the Window.
Ioannis Tzon Tsolakidis Totally. I’m not sure why this is hard for people to find. This tip is the best way to force an app to reappear from being minimized.
The default collections in Mojave doesn't have any additional wallpapers .. any idea how to get those natgeo ,cosmos wallpapers back ?
2:12 - hey girl, I have a big dock. Wanna launch some applications with me?
About command tab after minimizing. You can get it back by pressing command tab and then slide your thumb over to option and it will open the minimized program.
+Jonas Lindgren Hm! TIL. Thanks for the tip. :)
Ah the good old days! glad to have SnazzyLabs back in action!
+Faisal Mahmud Thanks man!
In finder you can also just go to View > Show Path Bar to display a path at the bottom of the window
For #1, you can also click View>Show path Bar in the finder
This video is really helpful. Awesome job!
You can reveal a minimized application actually by hitting alt/option and release as you toggle through minimized apps in cmd+tab. There's also a built in path bar in finder but it's hidden by default, can activate it through view menu. That last one is pretty cool!
Since I got on this new computer I've been looking for the one to get the entire file path directly. I finally found it! I love this video!
I don't own a Mac, but it's a new video from Quinn so I'm watching it. Yay!
Yay! 👊
You are a magical Wizard! I like dragging files to the dock to open them occasionally and that lag is super annoying, That trick is awesome!
Haven't you shown all of these before in your Terminal Tuesday series or other tip videos?
+JChen10 Almost all of them, yep, but most people haven't seen my videos from 2009. You're an OG! :)
JChen10 TTT was my favorite series before Bolivia
Snazzy Labs I really love the retro videos! Ive been watching your channel since 2012
I was searching for last wallpaper tip everywhere. Found it in your video here. It was very useful. Thank you :)
that dock one is nice
Awesome video! I'm going to use all these :)
Porter Jones Thanks for watching! Good luck. :)
You can show your last minimized window when alt tabbing by pressing option before letting go of the alt + tab command.
Great tips, i have been a long time mac user but still dont know most of tricks.
+Leica Dad Thanks for watching
Great videos man, I don't have macOS but still enjoy them anyway.
+Swicho Thanks for watching!
Thanks! Please more of this!
Thanks for watching! Will keep the suggestion in mind!
yes! the first one is too nerdy! do you have any video on how to use the terminal (for beginner)
4:01
It’s so slow, U saved me
I love these mac trick videos, can't get enough of them. Keep it up Quinn!
+Aaron Rudloff Thanks, Aaron! Will do!
This was great! Thanks Quinn!
Cheers, Daniel!
The website with the tricks'n'tips has been replaced with a script of yours... :(
For the first tip the path bar is even more convenient since you can easily acces one of the folder above by double clicking on it. Already had the instant dock, once you are used to it, it seems like ages when you switch to a mac without this :)
At 2:28, you can hold option and it will show the last window from that app.
page not found for you link.
Awesome vid for people like myself who are new to MacOS
Thanks! Welcome to Mac! :D
Just a heads up, if you want to quickly Command + Tab to an app that's minimized, you can do this with a keyboard shortcut. If you have an app minimized and want to switch to it, do Command + Tab, stay holding down the Tab Key and move your thumb to the Option key and let go of the Command Key and it will bring up the minimized app. Just in case people thought this wasn't possible, it is.
Didn't know about this! I'll probably continue to hide apps since it's programmed into my brain so deep, but this is a neat alternative to minimizers. Cheers!
Yea, it's a bit of keyboard twister you have to perform but it's great little trick to know. It's also a neat trick you can show users who have been using MacOS a while and don't know about it. It's not for everyone but I still use it from time to time. Glad I was able to help and provide some helpful info. Also, thanks for the Terminal tricks as I will use a couple of them. One more added tip is that when you use spotlight for finding a doc or file, once you're highlighted on the item, hold down the Command key and it will show the path to that file on the right hand side preview.
Always welcome these tricks!
+Andy Tang Thanks, Andy!
Can you tell me how/where you save these scripts & does it matter what folder you put it in. Does it go in Library/Scripts? Learned a lot! Thanks so much.
Hey Quinn,
Some extra tips based on your tips:
Tip 1: Try out View / Show Status Bar, also handy :)
Tip 3: You actually can get to minimised windows with your keyboard. Hit Cmd + Tab and while still holding Cmd, hit Control to return the minimised window into view. However, I too use hide all the time, just a little tip in case you minimise by mistake.
All the best mate
Fotis
That is a good tip for minimizing! Another guy mentioned it and I hadn't heard about that! I guess I've been hiding apps since before I can remember so I never cared to learn the ins and outs of minimizing. LOL. Cheers, Fotis. Thanks for watching!
Haven't used macOS but still watching this!
Thanks, Aadhi!
Need the terminal command to minimize the window when i press the dockbar icon again. (like in windows)
Very nice tricks! Mr. iKnowitall (moi) didn't know most of those. Cheers!
Awesome tips and tricks! Getting my school MacBook this week and I will definitely use them. :)
Thanks for the tips. To show path on finder window was cool, similarly can we show page path on safari browser.
Great video Quinn - I really enjoyed this and it was worth filling out the survey (I see you took our suggestions seriously) - I look forward to following you as you get towards 1 million subscribers!
+PapaMidnite79 Thanks a million for your suggestions. :)
These are actually really useful! Thanks a lot :)
Keep posting these useful tips. I appreciate all your hard work. Thank you.
These are awesome tricks! :D Thank you so much.
Also, I'm happy to see that you actually read the surveys and took into account the suggestions.
Of course! Read every one! Thanks for submitting your feedback. :)
Yeah this wht i was talking about. But man instead of every Thursday u should upload thrice a week. Keep up the great work.
+Digyant I'm only one lad! I try the best I can. :)
Great Video:D and I watched the Terminal Star wars until the millenium falcon is on the death star ;D didn't expected to be really the whole movie.
+Tim Bo They really outdid themselves. Lol
Thanks for the tips.
In regards to the wallpapers, on the Desktop & Screen saver screen in preferences there is a PLUS symbol bottom left, if you click it you can add the folder which contains the new pics. Your method allows only one pic to be added. I hope this helps :)
You should try out the Finder replacement Path Finder. It's absolulely fantastic and I exclusively use it for everything. It's a power-users dream and looks really nice (couple config changes might be necessary).
I also have an AppleScript that runs at login to remove Finder from the dock so that way Path Finder takes its place on the dock.
I was a Path Finder fan back in the day but I stopped using it for some reason I don't remember. I'm sure it's much improved now. I'll have to give it a look again. Thanks for the reminder!
Awesome! Hope you get back into using it :)
Woah! Those are all really useful features! Thanks!
Gonna be awesome to have more uploads
Wahoo!
love your videos! Can you do video about hardware you like to use with macOS like mouse keyboard etc.
I'll have an office tour coming up soon!
Great info! Gonna try it out!
Thanks for watching!
Fun fact, Star Wars can be watched on Windows as well! Just have to enable the telnet client. Hit WIN+R then type in "pkgmgr /iu:"TelnetClient" Then launch CMD or PowerShell and type in "telnet towel.blinkenlights.nl" just like Mac OS. You can also use Putty as well.
I swear I use the terminal everyday but I never knew about some of these. Great video!
+MrBritishbacon Cheers.
your tips one is already make me feel very happy
tahnks man !!!!
For tip #1. You can just press Alt + command + P. Or go to View --> Show Path Bar.
Certainly an option. :D Cheers!
Is there a way to remove the delay from the task bar when its hidden?
That wallpaper one... Thanks so much! I've wanted more stock wallpapers
+Brennan Ball Lovely, aren't they?!
Great video as always
Thanks man!
great tips... but any idea why isnt working on my machine?
Quinn you are the man as always! Keep doing what you do best!
+Sean Bailey Thanks a million, Sean!
Awesome hints, but when I goto the site I don't see the commands.... Anyone else having this issue? thanks
Search for 'terminal' on the page you land when opening the link in the description of the vid.
When i minimize window n i want it back i jave to look in dock n look for it ...is there a short cut to bring minimize window to maximize?
Absolutely awesome tips, especially the first one, love it. Finder is like a maze and the file directories are so different than Windows. Thanks bro.
Sure thing, Tom! Should help a little. I definitely think Windows Explorer has the upper hand.
Love these videos man keep up the great work! Looking forward to Thursday's now
I have a big dock too. 😛 Nice video. Thank you!
😜
Command + H is very useful, thanks!
is there a way to find out the other storage space through terminal?
or is there any other way to find that out?
I know this is years after the video was made but now telnet is not preinstalled on mac. You have to install it through home brew. Hope that helps someone!
Cool video my friend, glad to see that the survey was of used !! #liked
+Victor Sully Thanks for watching, Victor!
Does anyone know the monitor model in the thumbnail of this video?
Hey can u plz suggest to view pics as we see in windows with default app. In mac os the preview app doesn't have scroll feature which is kinda annoying
Please, is there a command to make the wallpaper from desktop to change to 10 or 15 seconds? Because currently, there is only option to 5 or 60 seconds. I would really appreciate if you could help me. Thanks!
You shouldn't copy and paste commands from a webpage directly into your terminal. To avoid Pastejacking manual type out all commands. This way you keep you system safe and you also might actually learn a thing or two about what is being done by the command.
I think the risk is pretty low; however, typing commands out is surely a more secure option. I'll include a note on the webpage.
What computer do you record on?
+kmoe Mac Pro 2013.
AKA trash can mac
yea fr
Wait, what? Star Wars in ascii??? That is amazing! And you just nonchalantly mention it at the end of your video. Hahaha. Great video you've done here; the ending blew my mind.
Great Video thanks! How to find out your OS and system
architecture trough terminal?
thanks for the info Im a lazy dude could you put links or put copy paste terminal commands
In the "make hidden apps "hidden" in dock if I use the command line provided and want to change back, using false in the command line where shown comes up as "command not found". Any ideas? Using MacOS Sierra 10.12.4
These are great tips... Thanks for sharing
Awesome videos and tips. Thank you.
