Gary, You are amazing! I can't tell you how many times the you have helped me solve a problem with my Mac. Thank you 💕
I’m a 12 years Mac user. When ever I watch a Vid of yours Gary, I feel like I’m new user and just got my Mac of out of box. Thank you for all the good work, keep it up.
Much love from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦🙏
After 28 years as a Mac guy, I’m still learning things! Thanks, Gary.
A Hewlett-Packard RPN calculator was one of my very first calculators many, many years ago.
Gary, your encyclopaedic knowledge never ceases to amaze me. I stumbled upon using Spotlight for quick currency conversions and additions by accident years ago, but I never knew it was a also feature of Calculator! Paper tape also new to me - very useful when doing my loathed Tax Return! Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. 🙏🏼
PS - I just wish there was a 'speech _input'_ mode. I have used Siri before, but it's often a bit sketchy so rather unreliable, and of course you don't get the paper tape using Spotlight...
Long-time Mac user and I use this app all of the time and didn't know much of this. TY❤️
Goodness, goodness me! Gary you have bowled me over infinite number of times with this sublime exposition of hidden functionalities of the simple looking calculator. Amazing stuff from you.
The paper tape function is a winner, thx Gary!
You keep surprising me Gary. Something that seems so simple... Learned a lot with this video. Thanks!
Short and clear. Thanks.
Indeed! That’s why I love watching his videos.
the first three times: “caculator”🤣 - I found that funny although it’s perhaps normal when talking fast. Other than that I really love your videos - thank you!
WoW! This is a very useful tutorial! Thank you, Gary! ❤️👍🏻
Mac-user since 1992 ... For ages I used the Calculator Utility and later a calculator widget and after the demise of the widgets switched back to Calculator. I never-ever realised how powerful and functional it was. Maybe I was lazy in not exploring it further, but thanks you for this video !
Very educational and informative, Gary. Your videos are always a positive learning experience, many thanks!
Great tutorial as always. Thank you! An idea for next video would be everything about air drop. There is an old video about it in your channel, 7 -9 years old, in a period that airdrop was not exist in macos
Good idea
Calculater is a native apple app so you get some controls on the touch bar if ur using MacBook Pro.
Great video and your narration is excellent: well paced, use of examples and explain very well.
On a separate video, I wish you would opine on the new iMacs. I plan on buying one this coming Friday. I’m disappointed the Apple logo was removed from the front, and there is no face-recognition built in. What is your recommendation?
Face recognition would require a TrueDepth camera like on the iPhone and iPad (infrared beam, infrared camera). Most people don't generally need to log on and off of a desktop computer nearly as often as a phone during the day. Easy to type the password, and even easier with TouchID. Whether it is the right Mac for you depends on your needs, wants and budget. Hard for me or anyone to tell you what you need.
@@macmost You're the best. Thank you
You are amazing, Gary! Thank you so much!
Thanks. This is going to be very helpful for me ! 👏🏻👏🏻
Cheers mate, thx so much !!! I am watching all of your videos and it is really great. But this is a killer, man, I am telling you. So thx again
Thank you so much for this highly informative video Gary
Great video Gary! I had no idea there was so much functionality packed into the Calculator app so learned a lot here! Thanks!
I wish it included a business/finance calculator. Good info, thanks.
wow over 11 years as a mac user and I never knew it did this much!! :) thanks Gary!
Same here. around 11yrs using a Mac & I never had a clue the Calculator was anything more than a gimmick.
Excellent! I use RPN on my HP 12C never knowing that it is on the Mac calculator.
actually this was a pretty good one, I did not know this about the calculator app, I figured it was typical apple crap, but knowing it can do RPN I am very happy. It still has lots of UI inconsistencies like most apple apps but I think I can live with them. Good job.
This is fantastic. I do use the calculator from time to time but I never knew it would or could do this many things. I'm so glad you shared the conversions and the speech features THANK YOU!
Thank you! Good stuff.
what a gem Gary cheers, priceless
Dang!! I never knew! You are nothing short of amazing! Thanks!
An excellent channel for Mac Users. ALways informative and well explained. Glad I found you on the Tube
This just blew my mind.... thanks
Who knew? Thanks-especially the Del key and conversion feature!
Excellent. Thank you ✌️
Unbelievable ignorance on this until your video. Thanks!
Excellent Sir thank you
This dude in a whole different level
Thank You very much.
Holy shit Gary. I used to watch you as a kid in high school, It's been 10+ years easy. I recognized that voice, that intro and that face! You look exactly the same! I used to be your subscriber back in the day.
Simple clear and helpful- thank you
Gary said you can’t delete characters in other calculators but my CASIO fx - 85ES has a delete button and it’s pretty powerful in other ways as well.
Blew my mind. I feel like I just got new glasses; I can finally see!
Thanks Gary, this is great!
Thanks Gary. I had no idea the Mac calculator would do all that!
Thank you very much... your tips are very usefull always..
Is it possible to open several calculators like in windows? Sometimes its very useful.
Not easily. You could always open a spreadsheet (Numbers) if you need to see the results of a lot of calculations at once.
Very useful. Thank you
Excellent!
Amazing stuff. Your brilliant
Glad to see you're doing good :)
Thank you so much Gary! I am going to join your Patreon! You just rock. Does the calculator do mortgage calculations? Principal and interest for instance
No, but there are templates in Numbers for that. Of course there are also some websites that have calculators for it.
@@macmost thank you! I did just grab a video how to calculate it in Sheets
good. thanks
Unfortunately my ancient iMac calculator is using a currency conversion from 2012 Yahoo. Even though I invoke update nothing happens. So that was an exciting thing that quickly turned to not so exciting for a Canadian trying to see what the US conversion would be. Also sad since the 2012 appeared to be pretty close to par.
Sadly, the Mac OS X El Capitan version of Calculator is stuck at 2012 Yahoo and clicking "Update" doesn't do anything.
how couldn’t I say anything else than superb 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
I just really wish there was an "Always On Top" function, and that it had a history view similar to the Windows calculator. I know I can do paper tape, but it looks terrible and is just another window open on my desktop.
I have learned something. Thanks.
How do I select the percentage key using my mac numeric pad on the keyboard? Seems like i have to use the mouse to select it.
Yes, or use Shift and the regular 6 key (US keyboards anyway)
My big question is why is there no Calculator app on the iPad? It drives me nuts that it’s not there. I use it constantly on my Mac desktop and have it on my dock but it used to be easier to get to in widget space than in Notification Center and there too I’m just waiting for the macOS update where it disappears altogether.
Right. No default Calculator app on the iPad. But plenty of them in the App Store. Go get one. Or, use Spotlight or Siri.
@@macmost Thanks for your reply and for your outstanding videos. The worst part is those calculator apps are either ad-supported or incredibly expensive locked to an ongoing never-ending subscription model. I do use Siri sometimes but it’s so much slower.
@@robertholtz Just get PCalc Lite. That's been around since the beginning.
I never know about this! its very cool Gary
great!! thanks man❤️
This is completely off-topic Gary, but I have a 2009 iMac and I just bought a new MacBook Air. How do I get everything from my iMac to my MacBook Air so that I can then get rid of my iMac?
support.apple.com/en-us/HT204350
thank u a lot
Perfect. I never knew that!
Mind. Blown. 🤯
The convert function is handy. I usually search online to convert from std to metric. Now the calculator is in the dock, much easier.
I have known for ages that there is a conversion function in the app. But for some reason, I keep forgetting about it and I go looking for other sites to get my conversions done. And then my bank never seems to use the same currency conversion rate as what I get quoted here.
I miss calculator widget on mac !
Nice. I'd like to know how you echo keystrokes to the center of the display.
That's done in the screen recording software (ScreenFlow).
Thanks- I figured it must’ve been an app since I couldn’t find anything in system preferences.
Is there a way to open multiple calculators on the screen? This can be accomplished on Windows but not MacBook to my surprise. Is there an calculator app for MacBook that will allow this behaviour? Thanks.
What's your goal with multiple calculators? You can only use one at a time, so why do you need more than one?
@@macmost I’m running different numbers that I’ll eventually add together but before I do I need to perform different operations on them if that makes sense.
@@MajSiddiqui Sounds like a job for a spreadsheet, not a calculator. Lots more options there. Or use bc in the Terminal (you can have as many Terminal windows open as you want). But if you really want to, you can do it: ua-cam.com/video/eNY9S8bqna8/v-deo.html And here's a video on using bc in the Terminal: ua-cam.com/video/QjhjnGXUvkY/v-deo.html
Are the various functionalities within the Mac version also in iPadOS/iOS?
Some. Open the Calculator app on your iPhone. Now turn your iPhone to horizontal orientation for the scientific calculator. For the iPad you'll need to get a third-party calculator app as the iPad doesn't come with one.
👌👌👌👍.....You are the Man
Thank you kindly for this and your other tutorials. I have one problem with the Calculator, though: I cannot get it to convert currency. The popup for choosing currency just does not appear when clicking on Currency in the menu. All the other ways of conversion works fine. I've checked my internet connection, it's OK. Can this be fixed? (macOS 11.2.3 Big Sur)
What country are you in? Perhaps an issue there?
Wow! Amazing
Hey, Gary, thanks so much! BTW, can you tell us how to place a shortcut to the User Guide in the dock or on the desktop. (Finder > Help > MacOS Help.) As a new Mac user I'm finding the Guide very helpful, but I can't find a way to create a shortcut to it. Thank you.
Not sure what you mean by "User Guide."
@@macmost Because I'd spent 48 years with other operating systems, MacOS was like getting lost in Oz. I was frustrated by the lack of a user manual, until I realized that the information I was after was in the MacOS guide. As I mentioned, it's in Finder > Help > MacOS Help. Thanks for these tutorials - they are always very revealing. Who knew there were so many hidden options?
@@AnandaGarden Well, Command+Shift+/ is the shortcut to get to the Help menu. I suppose you could set a custom shortcut for the menu item "macOS Help" but that would only work if you were in the Finder, not another app.
Thank you, Gary. You saved me lots of time searching uselessly in the manual. Promise I'll not bug you for tips, but will RTM instead.
All that functionality yet it doesn't have an option to switch to "dot matrix calculator" mode
I didn’t know any of that!
how do i turn on commas for a long number?
View, Show Thousands Separator.
How can you make the calculator float on top of the screen I am viewing? It is currently minimizing and pushing the screen to the side when I click on calculator.
Are you using a Full Screen app? Sounds like it. Try using the app in a normal window in a normal desktop space and then you can have multiple windows there at the same time, which sounds like what you need.
@@macmost I tried both full and normal desktop space. I want to calculate to float on the screen that i am currently viewing. Whenever I click on the calculator, my other windows will toggle to the side. After searching and found no solution, I had to pay for a floating calculator app.
@@bummer4451 Sounds like maybe you had Stage Manager turned on? Check that.
@@macmost Yes, that it! Once Stage Manager is turned off, the calculator is now floating on the screen I am viewing! Thank you!
How do you open two calculators?
You can't. At least not easily. What is your use case? If I knew that, maybe I could suggest something like using a spreadsheet instead, or just using Calculator's paper tape.
It’s amazes me how versatile mac apps are. But one thing annoyes me. In their effort to minimize the interface, all functions are ‘hidden’ in (for me) not logical places. So many times I need Google to tell me where function ‘x’ is in the app. Or nobody knows the app can do it! So thanks for this video serie:-).
how do u open multiple calculator apps
Not sure if this works, but you could try it. ua-cam.com/video/eNY9S8bqna8/v-deo.html
I wish it had a financial calculator.
Still waiting for the iPad calculator app.
I miss being able to swipe to the left on a trackpad to access the calculator.
Wow!
In windows i can open multiple calculators, how to do that in mac or not possible?
Normally, no. But if you aren't afraid of Terminal, you can use open -a Calculator -n
@@macmost Thanks for your reply.
Good info on the Cacklator.
If only the iOS calculator was this good.
How do you keep the calculator displayed on a page all the time? When moving around from page to page, there are times when I want the calculator to be displayed so I can see my previous calculations
Not sure what you mean by "page." Page in what? The Calculator app is an app like any other. It has a window and you can move it where you want.
@@macmost I suspect Andrew S is asking if there is a 'keep on top' feature.
It would be nice to have at times.
sorry for the confusion. When I have other pages open such as banking sites, the calculator will stay displayed until I click on the banking page. Just wonder how/if I can keep it displayed all the time until I close it...thanks for replying..love your UA-cam channel.
@@andrews5093 You would just have to shrink your browser window a bit so there is room on one side for the Calculator app.
I do mis KoalaCalc app, It could do the conversions a fair bit easier. But that was a 32-bit app.
Calctape gives you paper tape. You can edit. Save and use in other documents. Way better app.
i still think there are many much better calculators out there. first and foremost, you have to search for it in spotlight to find it? siri cant open it ( unless you shout at her, then she opens it after awhile, true story) most other calculators have the "paper tape" built in to them so you dont have to open a new window.
and why on earth do i have to press the "=" to get the result, every other calculator just calculate in real-time.
And how come there is no way to keep the calculator (or any other app) "always on top", so that i does not dissapair as soon as i click on an other window, it would help when calculating many things. The good old "widget" swipe in and out screen back in the day was far far better then how it works now.
Thanks for the effort with the video. im just amazed of how bad apple makes their software again and again, when their hardware is so good:P
Why does everything on a mac have to be hidden?
There is a bug that they never corrected for years, in spite of repeated notice: The function y√x is wrong. It does x√y.
Whow, did nog know that!
Did he just say “cack-ulator”?
Thank you. Only.........my keyboard doesn't have a delete button and Fn + backspace does not work.
To delete in the Calculator app, just plain backspace is all you need.
@@macmost It works; Thnx
Still enrages me that there's no calc on the iPad IOS.
Can the mac calculator teach me about wolves?
NO it cannot.
Wolf Ram Alpha 1 > 0 Mac Calc
Put it on the iPAD
Hello, thanks for the explanation, but the programmer mode is the worse I ever seen! Do you know if there is some app usable in programmer mode? The windows calculator in programmer mode is totally better than this. Here, modulo operation is missing, I cannot copy/paste binary numbers, there is no way to specify the size of the number in terms of max bits... all feature that the basic windows calculator can do.
Look for an app in the App Store.
@@macmost thanks
