Hi Gary, Thank you for this. Is it possible to create a list that you can send a text message to? I would like to text all of my accounts from time to time, and was hoping that I could do this by creating a list ... is that possible?

Wonderful tutorial, Gary. Thank you.

🤫 Don’t tell anyone, but if you can launch reader view fast enough, you can often bypass a paywall. Hit that icon immediately the page starts loading and you can get the paywalled article loaded into reader before the site can slam the door in your face. It doesn’t always work but it works often enough to be useful.

but how do I see my disks storage on system preferences? and what if I want to change to system settings. how would I do that?

Thank you!!

Some sites are completely overwhelmed by ads - in line ads, ads sliding up from the bottom, sliding up from a side. Literally all over the place, and some of those ads, even if served up by Google Ads, are scams (like the ones that say Apple security has detected a virus, please call ____). Reader mode in Safari is my single favorite feature.

Gosh... I always use the Aa button but forgetting there's an in app setting for it 😂😂 Great thanks for 7:50 tip. That's really wonderful to know, Gary ❤

Gary, I have had my Mac mini M1 for 4 years now. I have learned a lot watching your videos. Thank you for what. you do.

Thanks very much, Gary, for this informative video! Very interesting ways to enlarge a website's text.

How to turn off auto fill on pdf in files app ??? It’s freaking annoying

You had me at Wombat

I did not have the same options in Chrome settings as far as reading mode. Chrome usually asks me to update so I think I'm using the current version.

Thank you very very much, I was on the verge of buying a new keyboard, where that first solution worked, the mouse thing

One of the stupidest things in macOS is that there is no support for zooming with scroll wheel…

I bought a HDD drive the other day and the back up with time machine worked fine. Unlike the back up on an USB drive.Theoratically it should have worked. I believe, but no. Not really. Then I remembered that I had an SSD from an old Windows laptop. So I decided to give it a try. Ofcourse I had to find a cable that would fit.but... no problem. This old Windows SSD did an excellent job.

Very helpful thanks

Great for my increasingly elderly eyes!

On Samsung you can start a text to someone, then get out of it, come back and it’s still there. How does it work on iPhone?!?!

Brilliant! Very simple, thank you.

Is there a way to change the color of the checkbox(s)?

This was really helpful, thank you so much 🙂🙏

Good stuff. I never much cared for css sheets. I'd forget about them and wonder why something didn't look right. Safari does just about everything I want to do, on its own. So, I just stick with it.

As always your the best Gary!

iCloud Drive and Time Machine are completely separate. iCloud Drive are locally stored files in the same way as iCloud Photos are stored on the cloud. Time Machine relies on a USB drive or AirPort Time Capsule connecting to your Wi-Fi network to backup your entire Mac.

Thank you very much. This is very helpful for those of us in our senior years. Another subject that would be of interest is, when having to Macs on the same home network (in my case two 2017 iMacs), how to set-up and use Screen Sharing and File Sharing. I am having trouble, which may be something specific to my computers. I am successfully using Screen Sharing (which was a bit tricky setting up since you don't see a Screen Sharing app in the normal list of Applications in the Finder - had to use Spotlight to find it). I have set up File Sharing on both Macs, checking each Mac several times, but for some reason I cannot see the folders / files on the other Mac (so I can transfer files between Macs). I continue to investigate this issue. Many thanks. 🙂

Gary -- At least 50% of the time I do a search on a Mac issue, your videos pop up. Thank you for the neverending help and clear, concise explanations!

Good suggestions. Note that recent versions of Brave have removed the "Toggle Reader Mode" option, but you can still download a "reader mode" extension. My daily driver is Brave, but increasingly I find Safari is better integrated into the Mac UI, for example providing autocompletion and reader mode.

A very useful and informative video tutorial today! Thank you, Gary! 👏🏻❤️

Hello Gary, I use these colorful tags a lot. I quickly ran out of available ones. I created new tags with appropriate names. I would like to be able to create new colors, so that the new tags become visible. Still unable to create new colors? Just new names, in Sonoma? Just the same colors or no color? What about with Sequoia? .-) Thanks.

Is there a way to do the opposite, in bulk? I have a mail merged, personalized letter that I need to break apart into 80+ individual PDF files. I know how to do it one at a time. Last time I did this I used your mail merge script. Now mail merge is included in Pages so I used it instead.

It only lets me get to the password step. Am I supposed to enter my account password? I can't do that either. I am the administrator. Help.

Wonderful !!

OK. Thanks. I hae a feeling there was no album feature in hidden photos.

Good morning Sir how run exe file on mac os without using parallel

Excellent explanation

OK this is extremely helpful thank you so much! I just have one question, my voice control doesn't show an icon at the top of my screen like yours does. Do you know how to make it turn on in the top?

Hi Gary, I can not figure how to sort files assending /dessending view by date created in gallery view. In the finder in gallery view it alway list the newest create by date file and have to scroll right to see the oldest. I am trying to get it to list the oldest file first at the bottom of the screen as the icon in the gallery view and scroll right to list the newest. This really should be simple to do but I can't get my mac to do it no matter which direct the files are sorted

Bought a new M3 MacBook 3 weeks ago. Font Book has 357 fonts in it, and Pages has 68 fonts available for use. The relationship between Font Book and apps is not automatic and adding a new font to Font Book does not make that font available for use. Thanks for the video, but without understanding or explaining how this really works, it's of little use.

You’re very informative. But I’ve come to the conclusion. Apple absolutely sucks. it’s impossible to navigate. Counter intuitive everything is hidden. and impossible to rotate something as simple as an arrow insert without reading up manual. Windows are simple. It’s got a little rotate button selected item and there you go. What is wrong with Apple?

I can't get this feature to work on my desktop computer

I don't have I phone

so great apple is finally changing their tune on a lot of old grievances users have had. next i want the ability to flip and pause the camera while recording a video. make it happen Gary!

Thanks Gary. Incredible feature that will cause me to donate my flatbed scanner. ( much better than the three-step Photo Xfer from iPhone to Mac. Boy, theres a long era that's come to an end. I've bought scanners for 40 yrs.

Hi Gary - love the channel for years now! I have a mid-2012 MacBook Air and I'm upgrading to a new 2024 Air. I've watched all sorts of videos with regards to Migration Assistant. Wifi seems like the way to go although everyone says running a USB-C between the 2 computers will make the transfer faster. Do I not have that option with such an old machine?... it has 2 USB ports and a thunderbolt port that I don't recall ever using! I'm in no hurry, but with my luck, there will be a hiccup in the Wifi deep in the transfer process. Any advice would be appreciated... thanks Gary!

Im wondering how i can make a shortcut for like google chrome. If im in safari i press se shortcut then i presses a button like for example E only in google chrome ? Would be nice for multi gaming

Why cant i use mywacom tablet to draw on my macbook pro?

Your videos are so well done AND your explanation and examples are excellent. I appreciate that you don't' go so fast and miss steps when you are explaining. thank you. I have a question. I have saved the freeform Board. This might be evident, however my question is, if I create 6 different color folders on that board, can I duplicate them and then copy and past new images on them? Please advise. Thank you again!

My question is, do we have to have them in the library or in albums in photos in finder? Which is better? Because I think those are duplicates

At some point, my finder stopped opening in the view I'm accustomed to seeing. Now it has folders in the top of the list instead of files which is what I prefer to see. When I go to "Finder>Desktop>Click on View>Show View Options>Group by None, Sort by Name", the view is as I like it. I then click on Set As Default. But when I close the finder and reopen it, it goes back to the prior iteration. Can you help please, Gary?

Wow! Very good info and well presented
