What's New In macOS Sequoia

[@macmost]

My new course on macOS Sequoia is now available! Get 40% off with the code "trees" before Sept 27. Read more about it and view sample lessons here: courses.macmost.com/courses/sequoia/?cc=trees

I pay $35.00 yearly for "1Password" by the company: AgileBits on my iMac 27" 5K Desktop. Is Mac Passwords as good, if so I might discontiue 1Password then?

[@CescoCDN]

Holy moly, Reminders and Calendar are FINALLY synced. The times of me doing double duty for an event are over. About time, Apple!

[@JBHaber]

This, 2000%

I’ve been playing with this stuff all morning. This is the biggest update is recent memory. Lots of good stuff in Sequoia.

[@rogue_carlisle6167]

what new features do you like?

[@mendodsoregonbackroads6632]

@@rogue_carlisle6167 Use your iPhone from your Mac That’s a really cool feature. In Notes: Audio Transcripts are great for me that's going to save some typing. . I’m going to have to humbly admit that workspace layout will be a positive for me after being put off my Microsoft's implementation. Even still it’s a nice to have feature but I'm certainly capable of arranging my own windows. The updated Password Manager is a plus. It has a better layout, is easier to use, and isn’t hidden in settings anymore. I just spent an hour updating some passwords this morning. I thought Keychain was a good deal before, but this is better. Another one that I haven’t had a chance to try is the new background gradients used with video apps it was described in this video. And the Hikes plotter feature in Maps is going to be a plus. It might just replace Gaia GPS for me.

[@edwgwilym]

I watched this very helpful clip twice and will probably come back to it again once I have Sequoia running. Thanks Gary. B

[@cottagekeeper]

So thorough and easy to understand, thank you!

[@rogue_carlisle6167]

yep, very watchable.

[@elviswsjr]

I like that segue from Calculator into Notes. Very smooth. Didn’t even realize you weren’t talking about the calculator anymore because you were still doing calculations.

[@garynagle3093]

That was cool

[@THE_HMRC]

awesome tutorial....great job Gary.

[@StevieW-Steve]

Another fantastic and useful video. Thanks Gary.

[@weinbergfahrer4048]

Really looking forward to Sequoia - thanks a lot, Gary, for this preview! What I noticed here (don't know if it was there previously): the calculator app can now work in RPN! I love it! 😍

[@macmost]

It actually had RPN available always. At least since OS X in 2001 or so I think.

[@greebo7857]

Have to say, as an Aussie I have to admire your apparent fascination with one of our marsupials. I see them most days. ,

[@itssuhaibalrumi]

2:10 this is the most useful wanted feature for me + the reminders in calendar integration is super good

[@Sergesouszero]

Thanks Gary! I really think it's time for me to say goodbye to my old iMac (2015) and get a new one. If the oracles are right, a new iMac with an M4 chip should be coming out in the next few months.

[@LarryFasnacht]

I love this window, snapping behavior in Windows. I’m really glad to see it come to the Mac.

[@RocknRollCEO]

Excellent as always. Cheers, Gary.

[@zeitakulobusta]

Calculator, Notes and the phone view things are actually decent updates.

[@Mega_Casual]

I was really hoping that the Journal app on the phone would now be available in Sequoia and sync between each other.

[@edmullery]

Also, I am missing it, or is there no Search function in Journal?

[@guilhermesoares8815]

I'm surprised that app hasn't made it to macOS… I mean, I'd be much more inclined to journal on my Mac than on my iPhone…

[@luki8806]

@@guilhermesoares8815 Now you can do it with phone mirroring :) It's something.

[@Pterodactyl-kn3ve]

I think Apple decided to keep Journal on the iPhone because it can link to maps, locations, photos, videos, activity, etc. A laptop even though mobile doesn’t travel like a phone.

[@MiningForPies]

@@Mega_Casual what does the journal app do?

[@macjeffff]

Thanks, Gary!

Wish they would add a financial calculator with present value, future value, payments, etc.

I normally will use excel or imput the formulas, but I believe yours is a great idea that will help a bunch of people, including myself having it at hand.

[@aryan_kx]

Thanks for making a detailed and a comprehensive video!

[@garynagle3093]

Wow.excellent video! Thank you

[@davehugstrees]

Great video. There's a lot of useful features in this update, some of which are a little overdue like the highlighter in Notes. The iPhone mirroring feature is really cool.

[@mrbela8364]

Perfect summary. Short and precise! Thank you very much and kind regards from Germany!

[@lawrenceatkinson]

Thanks once again. I upgraded minutes ago.

[@cmille24]

iPhone mirroring is so awesome. It's just one more layer on the cake for the continuity and ecosystem between their devices. I can access my bank apps, Instagram, TikTok, etc... on my MacBook when I'm sitting on the couch and it's charging across the room. Don't forget you can also control your Apple Watch on your MacBook too with it. So if you want to do things like change your watch face you can do that from your MacBook.

[@MrTsatour]

Excellent Gary. Practical, useful and right on the money as always...2 thumbs up 👍👍

[@botabob]

The iPhone mirroring looks amazing.

[@zoltanzana]

Especially in Europe

[@1_helper-PST]

im liking that Freeform update.... gonna start using that as a mindmap. Thanks sir!

[@justNGC604]

There should also be a new "fill" option on double-clicking a window's title bar in System Settings.

[@Superjeanmarc]

You are the best. I'm ALWAYS learning something in all of your videos. (Love the linking between Reminder and Calendar). I wish they would improve Apple Mail.. I feel their search engine for example is still very limited.

[@Quince828]

Agreed. Apple Mail still seems very clunky, especially when using it on iPad or iPhone. It shouldn’t take so many steps to delete a mail once you’ve read it for example.

[@Superjeanmarc]

@@Quince828 I swipe all the way to the left to quickly delete an email.. I don't think it can be any faster.. But yeah, Mail is an app most use all day, and t doesnt get much attention from Apple

[@loisskiathitis8926]

Technology certainly has come along way! A very useful and informative video tutorial today! Thank you, Gary! 👏🏻❤️

[@PurpleYeti1]

Really like the improvements to the calculator, especially with conversions being much better implemented. I do wish Apple would add memories to the basic calculator layout.

[@macmost]

You can copy and paste instead and it works just as well. Plus the "history" feature goes way beyond that.

[@greebo7857]

12:30. No, it tells you exactly which Macs  still supports. Older macs are easily capable. I'm typing this on a 13,2 2012 iMac running 14.6.1. I am about to upgrade to 15.

[@salvamando1]

Thank you so much for this video, I love how concise you are with information! Cheers!

[@Zeltaris]

In messages, you can also select a word that you type (before sending) and right click on it to select a text effect like "explode"... Pretty nice.

[@WatjenietzietBestaatniet]

At least half of the new features are not working after my installation over here in Europe. Things like transcribing, iphone mirroring, etc. all not available. At least I like the new screensaver.

[@bobp3738]

Excellent summary, as usual. Thank you!

[@roadaheadmedia]

Is there a quick way (before updating) to scan your apps and identify which ones are not compatible?

[@macmost]

I haven't heard of any apps not being compatible. Developers have had 4 months of developer betas, and the underlying functionality of macOS hasn't changed. If you use something critical, ask the developer or inquire in the community for that app.

[@Tisha.SaludIntegrativa]

Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing!

Finally! --that Microsoft "windows snapping" patent has expired

[@stehume]

Thank you. Some really good features ben added the iPhone mirroring will be very well used I think

[@martingifford5415]

I hope the Notes audio transcription is better than Google Keyboard and Google Recorder. I've noticed that AI does almost perfect transcriptions.

[@chrismedeiros3201]

I like the feature in Safari that hides distracting items, but it seems it's not limited to a certain Safari profile. It seems to hide the distracting item from all Safari profiles. I wish it was limited to only the profile you enable the feature.

[@haploguy]

now we need a "keep on top" option and a GUI for packet filter.

[@rewanji]

Great overall and some interesting features. Still the same locked size System Settings window tough??…

[@macmost]

Do you mean the width of the System Settings window. Yes. Have that been a problem? It is a vertical list, so not sure how more width would make any difference.

Perhaps. Not much has really changed. Just items in the left sidebar. But there will be some AI things coming soon.

[@maypoman2]

@@macmost Thanks

[@javtimestwo]

Send later! About time this feature is available in messages. I'm sure many users will be using this feature over and over. Gary, do you think users should upgrade to Sequoia immediately or wait for the bugs to be worked out?

[@macmost]

It has been in public beta for months and developer beta even longer. Why not upgrade now and get the new features? Seems pretty stable. Unless you are running some sort of critical system, why not?

[@stephenbridges2791]

I am looking forward to this one.

[@Goomer]

I hope they fix the static screen I get on my Mac Mini 2 after sleeping and the "Ghost" finder windows you can't close. Would be nice to shut off the annoying icloud notifications. How about iMovie and Garageband updates, pretty much same old for the last 5 years.

[@rogue_carlisle6167]

not a lot of features that i like, notes app always looks a little weird to me, don't know why they don't change the accent theme. Thanks for the video, I don't have to dig up to find the changes now.

[@OliverHeuschele]

Thanks for your overview about the new MAC OS....I have had a new MAC since approx 9 months and have had many issues with Sonoma in the beginning. So I'm sure that I will not update now. Because the "new" things are not relevant for my work. It's ridicules, what Apple calls "update" 🙄

[@VinayakP]

Rip Rectangle App. Couldn't believe Apple is only adding this feature now.

[@LetsTravelThisYear]

Great info !

[@nici1782]

I wish there was a way to turn the window tiling off completely. For us that use a 3rd party (Magnet for me) that has a lot more features, I do not need Apple to force me to use their tiling, and especially when the keyboard shortcuts they use by default conflict with some from Excel for example. Calculator also is obsolete, NUMI is 1000 times better and free

[@g.s.3389]

the transcription in note doesn't work on older no Mx computers.

[@alexanderu4208]

IPhone Mirroring is going to solve a few problems for me; can't wait!

[@DreamWizard9]

iphone mirroring is not available in my country or region, it says... :(((

[@mjpt57]

I do know what's new is that it's wrecked my Photos album on my M2 Macbook Air. The library wasn't the "correct" format so I had to create a new one. It now sends me around in circles from Settings to the Photos app where it asks me to turn on iCloud Sync, which I do then back to the app which turns off iCloud sync so I go back to it, enter in my password turn sync back on, back to the photos app and repeat. It worked fine when I upgraded my M2 Pro Mac Mini, though...

[@DamienDae]

Thank you for the video, I no longer have the courage or patience to watch Apple Keynotes.

I wish the new calculator was the same size as before, it's too small now.

That all sounds cool. Meanwhile I'm just hoping the damn Screentime bugs are fixed so I don't get a KZbin error on every non YT website.

[@aakashshah4494]

Hey Gerry, Thanks for the quick overview. Your videos are more awaited then Apple itself. 😊 Please guide whether this OS will heat up the CPU/GPU or will it slow down the computer? I have Macbook Air M1. Your opinion matters. Please guide.

[@macmost]

It shouldn't make any difference. Maybe a little faster as optimizations are always a part of any OS update.

[@aakashshah4494]

Thank you ​@@macmost very much.

[@OutdoorMMM]

iOS has been renamed to "Not available in your region." macOS too.

Phone mirroring not available for the most parts of Europe.

[@rspeckham]

Window snapping does not seem to work on my Mac. Despite the options being available when I hover over the green button, when I click on one, or if I drag a window to a side or corner, nothing happens. Any idea why that would be?

[@macmost]

Try it with different windows and apps. Try a restart. If it still doesn't work, call Apple Support.

[@rspeckham]

@@macmost thank you. I tried restarting my Mac and now it is working. 👍😁

[@user-wr4yl7tx3w]

Is Apple password as good as commercial password manager?

[@macmost]

As far as the basics that most people need, yes. Other password managers may have more specialized features. But if you don't need those, then Passwords is built-in and doesn't cost anything extra. It also easily syncs across all your Apple devices. But those that use non-Apple devices may prefer a more cross-platform app too.

Really need a keyboard shortcut to bring a window from my external display to mac screen. Could do this easily with rectangle not so much with this version of Sequoia

@macmostvideo i ask you after installing this update will my mac slow down? what do you think i use m2 air.

[@macmost]

It shouldn't. Well it may have to re-index and rebuild caches for a short time, but besides that why would it slow down?

[@itstheniceguyme]

Can the photos app now browse folders or is it still limited to it‘s library?

[@macmost]

The Photos app is all about managing its own library. Don't look for it to ever browse folders as that would add many layers of complexity and exceptions.
