New to Mac 2023 - Ventura Edition

[@chandrahouston6282]

I just bought my first MacBook coming from a PC. The learning curve is real. I thank you for this class! I will definitely will be looking at more of your classes!

[@kariworld]

I just bought my first MacBook yesterday and I watched several KZbin videos from various creators before I found yours. You are the only one that I subscribed to. Your video was full of information and it was delivered in a concise, easy to understand way. Thank you! I’ve already learned a lot thanks to you.

[@davem3948]

Easily the best Imac starter tutorial I’ve seen so far on KZbin. Instantly subscribed and many thanks.

[@smflaherty1082]

Window user for decades but brand new to MacBook. I have been through several YT channels to get the right out-of-the-box setup and couldn’t find it until I happened upon your channel! Perfect for a newbie! Thanks so much.

[@MsSmaldo]

David is a fabulous teacher! I have never known more about my MAC until I found David.

[@BLTV_Photoshop]

You 're such a great teacher, David!

[@Dulcilady]

Thanks for another great video. I've just recently bit the bullet & bought a Mac Studio to replace my desktop pc. Silly my, I thought that because I'm quite 'fluent' in the iPad & iPhone world, the Mac Studio would come naturally. NOT SO. I intend to come back here ... often. I've been a subscriber for MANY years. Thanks again...

12:55 If you opt to share Siri audio recordings, you might want to disable "Listen for hey Siri," so that Siri doesn't get inadvertently engaged if you're having a conversation with another person, as that audio could then potentially be heard and retained by Apple or a third-party contractor as part of Siri analytics. Also, 13:35 in my experience, particularly on modern Macs whose processors are better optimized for encryption, I've not noticed a significant performance penalty with FileVault turned on. The reason I'd recommend keeping it on, particularly on a laptop, is that if the computer was misplaced and someone gained physical possession of it, they could reset the login password or possibly use other methods as a backdoor into your data.

[@rosalindaherrera3281]

9:21 PM I now have my second MacBook and never learned anything until I watched your video. Thank you so much

[@studiojoi7767]

Thank you for the video and especially about the Microsoft Office tip. Your video is easy to follow, delivered logically and your voice tone is good for this.

[@ChannelScott]

Hey David, thanks for making these videos. I have watched you on and off for over a decade now. After the upcoming 15" MacBook Air is released, I plan on finally taking the dive and picking one up. Probably not for a good 6-9 months from now though. I love these tutorials though because it really is kinda scary going to MacOS when you have been a lifetime Windows user. I'll always have a Windows laptop but it's time for me to finally pick up a Mac! Thanks again my friend!

[@darrene.mathews5566]

Thanks for this awesome video, David. Though I'm a long-term MAC user, I did learn some new, useful features. 👍🏾

[@barbarachandler4430]

Hey! Apparently thought I knew everything, haven’t checked your tutorials, though I I don’t know everything, not even close! This is very helpful and will be tuning in 😄

[@cherisfloridalife]

Thank you for your on the Mac! This was much needed. I am not new the Mac, but I only paid attentions to learning very minimal.

[@dchungmanson]

Thanks for your clear tuition so clear and perfect tempo

[@ifillip]

Thank you so much. Just got a mac mini m2pro and your VDO helped me set-up-n-go. Learned a lot from you and will definitely check out some more classes.

[@NicholasShowalter]

Great teaching, David, thank you! I wasn't able to scan a doc on my iPhone and have it appear on my Mac as you described. I'll keep trying!

[@realrosanaandre]

Thank you so much David. I’m new on Mac and this video helped me so much. I’m appreciate!

[@javierriosgarcia5446]

Thx got this new Mac book m2 air and switched from windows. This was so useful.

[@gergemall]

Thank you. I have a new model in the box . I’ve used both and I m going to transition to a Mac , iPhone and IPad

[@phillipsalvatore8022]

Great Job I have been waiting for you to come out with this version. I’m sending it to my friend who just got a Mac. Thanks

[@TechTalkAmerica]

Awesome, thank you!

I bought an iMac for my mother for Christmas :) First thing I did was to install any desk to help here remote :)

[@KHMHPediatrics]

Thanks for your videos I'm switching over to Mac soon an needed something like this. 😀

[@RFK_71]

Thanks, appreciate it. New Mac Mini M2 with Ventura, so I needed some help going from a PC environment to Mac OS. Although I do have other Apple items, just not a Mac. ✌️

[@mlh3240]

Thank you David , very informative video. I can’t wait to enroll in a one on one zoom class with you. I just bought a MacBook Pro. I’m just waiting until I have time to sit and be focused. Probably within the next week or two.

[@Bruin4Life]

Thank you very much David. I just found your channel and I am a new MAC user. A couple of my nephews talked me into purchasing a MAC and I have been using PC’s since 1978, so I am going to be using your videos to help me get started. My nephews didn’t tell me about your channel so I don’t know if they know about it but they have been MAC users for over 20 years. I look forward to getting started and will definitely need help in transferring files from my PC to the MAC. I also unfortunately purchased the Apple Microsoft Office 365 software already, but will remember not to renew it next year and hope that your cost saving offer is still available for the Microsoft Office software.

[@patjohnson51]

Excellent video even for the long-time Mac user! I'm getting my new MBP in 2 days so this showed me a lot of new features in Ventura. Thank you!

[@javtimestwo]

Terrific video. Great job! This might be one of your best videos. I learned quite a few things that made me realize I am more of a beginner than I imagined 😂

[@TechTalkAmerica]

Glad it was helpful!

[@fmf1854]

So many great tips for new Mac users

[@iam.aemond]

Great content, a nice refresher after a break of more than 20 years without Mac (I was a user when it was not cool). However I'd mention than the thing about drivers for printers on PC is not really a thing: Windows has very good generic drivers.

[@VictoriaViz2011]

Thank you Teacher! 🥰

[@XangTong72]

Hello! Thank you very much, Information 👍

[@florak1087]

Great video, David. I found buying my new 2021 iMac was unemotional and I felt like I was buying an expensive latte instead of a sexy-powerful computer. There is never any manual and they just hope you don't ask questions. I have gone into the Apple store several times to get my issues fixed and I find no one knows the answers. Thanks for the tips. (they should give everyone your KZbin channel name...at the least!!)

[@IwinMahWay]

Underrated channel

I was thinking the very same because my Mac system data GB is out of control. I'm embarrassed to admit how many GB that is.

Thank You David ..

[@IraQNid]

Now I can see why my sister & her husband like this OS. From what I've seen in this tutorial it is in permanent hand-holding / training wheels mode. As far as basic functionality goes Windows and Apple PCs are very much alike.

[@jgknearlax4926]

...you did a good job! - ...I'm trying to "study up" on Ventura as much as I can and I didn't like it (Ventura) at all first....everything seemed way too "secret", I really liked SnowLeopard (still using it) and found El Capitan very annoying (and sometimes "dangerous" - it WAS possible to cause real damage even with PreView, due to the "new" way of functioning, but I never suffered an actual loss...) - I have been a Mac user since system 6 and later system 7...system 7 was good, looked nice, was stable, it was a good time...the Mac was about "intuitive" and user friendly...and essentially, it was impossible to "destroy" or cause catastrophic loss...that changed with OSX....now it wasn't totally "safe" anymore....anyway...your video was very good and helpful.. : )

[@karenderbes5943]

thanks David, awesome as always!!!

[@LeeStewart]

Great video David. I ❤❤ macOS Ventura! 👍🎉💥

[@chrisabraham8793]

Would be great to see how you navigate with the touch pad, reason different to windows, it seems also that Macbook pro seems to be a different animal than normal mac, not in power but right or left clicking and file doc wise etc, is there a difference.

[@quickercupid]

your videos are always helpful ^_^

[@logroe]

Just a remark. Yesterday I changed my settings on my Macbook M1 in System Settings>Appearance>Accent Color and changed the 2nd color blue into the first multicolor. That was the reason that Command C and Command V (Copy and Paste) did not work anymore with the shortcuts anymore. It costs me a lot of time to find out why this happened. And finally I changed the Accent color back to blue and voila the problem was solved.

[@promixr]

Around 3:25 you expressed your personal preference for how you want to view items in a Finder Window (you prefer icon view) - but this video would have been a little more useful if you mentioned that each view (Icon, list, column and gallery) each has it's own unique advantages in the view.

[@TechTalkAmerica]

Go watch the video called “Make Everything Bigger” that video goes into more depth on that topic.

Video was so informative. Thanks for sharing it. I have a question. I have a M1 Pro MacBook Pro and connecting a monitor to it is it best to go USB-C or HDMI? I noticed that the USB-C is always charging the battery. Is that hard on battery?

[@TechTalkAmerica]

If your monitor has a USB-C option I’d go with that.

The only thing I would say is, get applecare if you know you will need it, or you have a history of being clumsy. Quite a lot of people I have seen paid the extra for no reason, apple products mostly outlast the applecare imo from non aggressive usage.

[@veterantruthtube3298]

does apple sell our personal info to third parties?

[@TechTalkAmerica]

I can't speak for Apple since I don't work for them, but I can tell you I've had an iCloud account for demo purposes for years. The only company that has that email address is Apple. I've literally NEVER in years of owning that account ever received a piece of junk mail. So from my observations, I think compared to everyone else, they're in the "angel" department. That being said, technically it depends on what country you live in since each country has different privacy laws. The one liner I've come to say more than any other at this point is "privacy is an emotion."

[@ajf9730]

The video is good but we Indians prefer to learn by using the machine.

Why do KZbinrs put big mics in front of their face while on video? They do not do this on tv.

[@TechTalkAmerica]

It’s to prevent unwanted echo. The room I use for filming is challenging for audio.

Eeeee. FileVault should ALWAYS be ON. Otherwise anyone with physical access to your computer can easily change your precious password to whatever they like and access EVERYTHING on your Mac and your iCloud storage. Photos, email, documents and all your stored iCloud passwords for all services you use. Turning FileVault or Firewall OFF is a HUGE NO for anyone! As long as you store your data in iCloud, if you should loose access to your computer, or if most or stolen, you have kept everything safe and secure. The thief can not access your data even though the hardware is lost.
