[@DionMedia]

Which model Mac do you use? 🤔

[@ThePreppyGirlYT]

Macbook Air M3 Space Grey. Configured with 512gb/16gb (for storage and ram). Since i’m first to reply can I get a pin?

[@AllenSchoepflin]

I have a 2014 Mac Mini. I do plan to upgrade but my current Mac mini works just fine for what I use it for

HI Dion, I´ve bought a MPB M1 16 inch a week ago, brand new . Love it! Greetings from Argentina.

[@A3PTech]

I use an M3 Macbook Air, Starlight, 16gb unified memory and 512GB SSD.

[@KriTaKriTaKriTa]

I don't have a MacBook yet, maybe one day I will, in any case a much needed video. Thank you!

[@Shivam-jq8bu]

you will get it soon ❤

[@dunaxbeauty]

This video is so straight to the point. You are the best. Thanks for making my setup an easy one.

[@HF-dw6nx]

I ordered the m4 macbook pro as my first mac, This will be helpful

[@johnclarke6647]

My MAC Book is a 13.6” MAC Book Air, M2 with 16/256 GB of RAM/SSDI. My Adjutant let me use his M1 Mac Book a few months ago and I loved it. I bought mine to replace my 16 year old Toshiba laptop.

[@nickxvalentin]

Just in time, bought my first macbook yesterday!

[@GlennWoons]

Your MacBook tutorial was so helpful in so many ways. I liked it how you spoke clearly, navigated quickly, and made everything very clear and easy to understand and follow, covering what was most important when you are doing the initial setup. Thank you from Julie in South Lake Tahoe California USA😊

[@rfchip9686]

This video was just what I needed. Great info, very easy to follow and helped me set up my new Mac.

[@ashleyurban5861]

In your video 3:33 you click on a check mark but in my computer I don’t have it what should I do?ASAP

[@abdulnourr-Habibi]

i needed this when i got my mac

[@nancybeatriz]

This video was really hopeful to set up my new Mac. Couldn’t understand first how the keypad was working. Thank you very much!!

[@rafiuniloy1368]

I just opened my new MacBook Air M3 and I see like language and country. I don’t know maybe I press some keys and boys of command started and it’s showing Won windows and some direction. I am also following the directions but nothing change what I have to do now how to cut all the program or wonders of VoiceOver command.

[@imgeegee]

If I want to set up my new macbook air M3 as you have done in this video and then transfer over some applications, data, pictures, & music from an old (2012) macbook pro, do you have a video on how to do this? Or do I just use migration assistant to transfer everything to the new computer? (I see you have a good video on how to transfer everything (2023) with migration assistant.) I was hoping to start new with a clean slate and then add things as needed but it appears to be a huge undertaking to do it this way versus migrating everything and then getting rid of stuff on the new computer.

[@johnclarke6647]

I have two iPads, 9th and 10th generations plus a TOSHIBA laptop. I am going to transfer my data , files and apps from my 9th gen iPad. This will be my first Mac book, but I have used ibm computers for over 40 years.

[@ejiro7862]

Watching for when I get a mac hopefully

[@Kaifengchong]

I realized your mac setup page “Hello page” has the edge lighting defects near the bottom side. Did you experience any display abnormalities? There’s an obvious yellow ray when in the dark screen part, during the Hello displaying.

[@Edem-es3rw]

hi, please tell me how to exit the menu (Restore from Time Machine, Reintall macOS Sonoma, Safari, Disk Utility) I will be very grateful!

[@yardiegirl7]

Hi, thanks for the video but I need some help. I clicked on software update and it started to install but stopped at 30 mins remaining. How do I get back to setting up?

[@yeshetsering4597]

Hey Dion I tried factory rest and I am on the macOS Utilities and my mouse stopped working.I can’t connect it back what can I do? I have macOS High Sierra

[@mohamedddd983]

I come from windows - so like in windows there is Microsoft word/excel/ PowerPoint built in.. what’s there for Mac ? And as many users use word/excel - if they share with the Mac users how do u access that ? As there is no built in Microsoft Office

[@suraidoproject]

[@Saint876_]

Whats up hope all is well I'm torn between 2 laptops the m1 macbook pro 14 inch 16gb 1tb SSD or the new m3 macbook air 16gb or 512 ssd

[@nickxvalentin]

I would rather go for the newer one, I got the basic m3 air, I use it only for studying, but for that its super enough

[@pineapples1152]

My Mac book keeps loading on the connecting to WiFi part

[@pineapples1152]

It’s not connecting to any of them and it won’t let me continue and I don’t know how to turn it off to start over

[@carloschisenga.7794]

Is the ios pre installed

[@rigobertoordonez5953]

Thanks

[@nickprosch2368]

It's funny how you swipe into the wrong direction first whilst showing how to switch desktops. Twice. I am the same and there's no way to configure the direction of swiping afaik, like turning off "natural" scrolling.

[@jomeyer13]

you are too fast into it all and so not for a beginner. remember we dont know how to tap or scroll if we are use to buttons... to use for scroll.

[@HANGWAVE]

Too basic. Doesn’t get into the stuff that you’ll need everyday. The first 15 minutes were of no value. Some nice tips at the end. Felt time wasted watching this video.
