I apologise for the re-upload there was a big video glitch that somehow happened during exporting, if you could rewatch the video I would greatly appreciate it but I understand if you’re not able to.

I'm a new Mac owner, yet again I had the 17" Mac many years ago, but I really didn't get the system back then. Now I hope the OS has evolved so my learning curve isn't so steep. 🤪

I am going to get the new mini for school. I have used Mac in the past but mainly windows

[@SparklesMcFartyPants]

Thank you for the video, it's very informative. I have a question for you; as a Windows user transitioning to Mac, why would I want to have the hard drive icon on the desktop? Would that be similar to having a shortcut to File Explorer on the desktop, allowing me to navigate the contents of my hard drive completely?

[@MrHtech]

You’re welcome, thanks for watching 👌🏼 It’s just a quick way to navigate to your hard drive instead of going to Finder first, not a big deal just convenience 😂 and yeh basically it would be the same as having a shortcut to file explorer but then again so would just clicking on the finder icon.

[@SlayerGhost-i6p]

What monitor are you using? 😊

[@MrHtech]

It’s 2 Portable Monitors , they are Uperfect Unify22 , bit overkill to be honest 😂 I’ve got a new ultrawide coming so stay tuned for that one 👌🏼

[@b9bot148]

Bought it for myself, not a new Mac user. But my last Mac was a 2020 27" iMac. But Apple has abandoned the bigger iMac, and I want something with more ports than the 24". I also wanted an M series Mac and the Mini is a no brainer at the price to performance ratio.

[@MsPernickety]

How do I put a photo/image on the front of the file. I used to be able to do it but can't any more.

[@MrHtech]

It should be in video , check the custom dock divider section as it should be the same method for files

I’m buying the Mac mini 4 I own an iPhone and apple tablet and hp pc! I was going to buy another hp or the m4….which is best for Protools and Cubase which is music production….i usually use 4-6 tracks Mini hp? Or m4? Thanks!

[@MrHtech]

I would say the M4 will be better

[@paulocon4842]

I am a user of windows ryzen 5 2600x, 32 ram and 1070ti, sometimes I find it hard to handle 4k material. With the Mac mini m4 will I see a big change in my workflow? Considering that my pc is from 2018 and I mainly focus on videos between 3 to 10 minutes max, basic color correction and some animated titles.

I got a Mac Mini Pro. I cannot use TV on the Mini although I have a subscription. It works only on my iPhone & Apple TV device. Any ideas?

[@Buttface1981]

Are you sure iCloud is signed in on the new mini?

[@MrHtech]

Not sure tbh

[@PLANETWATERMELON]

I would check with Apple, but if you have the Apple TV app on several devices there may be a limit on how many devices. Apple Music has the same restriction.

[@peter572]

@@PLANETWATERMELON Αfter a few days, Apple TV appeared and seems to play OK. TV plays only on my iPhone & Mac now (plus TV device). Not on my iPad Air.
