[@wmsprct]

Thank you. Great Info.

[@peterc2248]

Useful. As an older person entirely committed to the Apple ecosystem, I love how my Apple devices work together seamlessly. Having grown up with basic computers with few system resources, I still to this day close applications through a misplaced fear of running out of memory. And much as I love Apple, I do get overwhelmed with the constant updates and changes. Mind you, my recollection of endless Windows updates keeps me grounded - yuck 🤪

[@TheMacWhisperer]

It's easier on Mac than ever on Windows, and it keeps improving. Stay tuned for more tips, and make sure to reach out if you need help (even just holding your hand through an upgrade so you don't panic)...

[@jimtipton8888]

Hi Dylan, Great as always. Don’t know if you know this one, but I was incessant that I couldn’t put a folder in the dock and just have it open in a finder window when clicked. My work around, create an alias of the folder and put the alias in the dock. Not pretty, but it works and saves a step. Cheers!

[@TheMacWhisperer]

If you press and hold (or right-click) on any folder in the dock, there is an option at the bottom that says "open in finder"... once you get the hang of that, you won't need the alias or the extra step!

[@jimtipton8888]

@@TheMacWhisperer Thanks, but the benefit of the alias is you don’t have to right click and click, you can just click. Appreciate the input.

[@TheMacWhisperer]

True, but then you eliminate the ability to navigate and open files from the dock WITHOUT opening the finder... so it solves one problem but creates another... using an actual folder gives you both options... Neither way is wrong, just depends on your preferences. most of the time I just want to open something in the folder, not go to the finder itself, so I prefer the actual folder and the occasional right click, but I am glad you found a solution that works for you!

[@jimtipton8888]

@@TheMacWhisperer Agreed! For me it’s the convenience of being able to drag and drop a file to another app and I don’t believe that’s possible unless you open in finder. I do that often enough that the alias (minus any label, you have to hover or go with muscle memory) is the option that fits. I wish there were a setting to fix a folder to “open finder”, but the alias works.

Loved the video. Still haven’t gotten a Mac but who knows ??

[@TheMacWhisperer]

Well, if there's anything I can do to push you over to the light side of technology, let me know. I watch people struggle with their PCs and Android devices, wishing they were easier, and in many cases they don't know how much easier it could be if they would just switch to Apple.

Love the video hoping you have a video for windows evolution software I have a program I’d like to use, but it’s only through windows

I don’t have a video on Windows evolution software specifically, but I’d be happy to answer more questions during our weekly live broadcasts-feel free to join and ask away! 🎉

[@adassociates8235]

Great video but we tried to put Applicaton folder into the Dock like you did, it did not work, we are running Mac Sequoia 15.0

[@TheMacWhisperer]

Walk me through how you did it and what went wrong. It totally works on MacOS 15... Here are some pointers.... 1. Make sure you grab the applications folder from inside your HD on the sidebar 2. Make sure you drag it to the right of the far right dividing line 3. Make sure you don't drop the folder on another folder, but hold it between items so the dock makes space for it... Let me know how it goes...

[@adassociates8235]

We got it, we did not listen on your YT closely:-( We dragged AF in Finder and it did not worked.🥲 Thank you very much👉👍👌

[@adassociates8235]

We did it, ur great! We dragged AF from Finder😅 Thank you

I would like to know how you generate the signature in your e-mail messages.

[@TheMacWhisperer]

I use a third-party HTML signature tool called email signature rescue... you can find it here: emailsignaturerescue.com There are lots of sites that can do that for you... or you can even hire someone on Fiverr or Upwork to create one for you, eliminating the need for a subscription.

[@galato4234]

Thank you so much! this is so awesome. I cannot do continuity on my email nor my text, is there any setting I need to change? thanks.

[@TheMacWhisperer]

You just need to make sure that your devices are on the same Apple ID and on the same Wi-Fi. What devices are you using? Some of them may be out of date, but most should be able to do handoff. You may also want to check that under Settings > General > AirPlay and Continuity, things are turned on properly. Make sure you are using the Apple Mail app on both of your devices and that you have properly configured Messages on both devices. Then you should be good to go.

[@galato4234]

@@TheMacWhisperer Thank you for your response. I am using my iPhone 14 and my MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 with Sequoia. Thanks.

Hey Dylan, How can we get that Mac Keyboard Shortcut PDF you made???

[@harvard6969]

Just so you know the Continuity season doesn't on my Macbook pro When I open a mail message my MacBook pro dock doesn't change a bit?

[@TheMacWhisperer]

If continuity isn't working at all, you should check the settings on all of your devices. They need to be connected to the same Apple ID account and in the same Wi-Fi network. They also need to have Bluetooth turned on. If those three things are set and your devices are relatively current, you should get that option. If you're still not finding it, go into Settings > General > Handoff & AirDrop on your phone and computer and make sure you have handoff turned on.

[@chrisharbin623]

Uh oh, I found an issue. If I right click on "mail", it does not give me the options you are showing. For example, the option to "start new email" is not there.

[@TheMacWhisperer]

The mail app has to be open for it to work, so if you do not see the dot under mail, you should click on it, and then you should see the options.
