    Setting up a new MacBook doesn't have to be hard. In fact, it's now easier than ever, but sometimes it's nice to have someone explain certain things and guide you through the setup process. That's where I come in! I've probably set up hundreds of MacBooks over the years and here is the exact, step-by-step process I recommend as well as some macOS tips and settings you should change.

    Easy setup tutorial. Another personal favourite setup I like to do for the trackpad is the three-finger drag lock. It’s quite a hidden trick on the mac setting, but man it makes dragging items on the computer so much better! I’ve been using this trick since my first MacBook in 2010!
    To set it up, open system settings, choose accessibility on the left hand menu, scroll down to pointer control, click trackpad options, enable dragging with three fingers, and let it change your life!

      Now that's an actual useful tip. I wonder if it also works with the separate track pad slab that Apple sells.

  • @MarbsMusic
    @MarbsMusic 18 дней назад

    If you save everything to iCloud or an external TB4 drive it's quite easy just to ignore migration and just copy things back over. Excellent and very through setup guide, especially for first time Mac users! I should have had my wife watch this but guess the bonding time setting up her new MacBook was worth it :)

    Hello, I have a question, after updating my macbook to version 14.4.1. all folders disappeared from my desktop. And the show desktop function also disappeared (when I have an application open and I click on the desktop, everything is minimized and folders and things appear on the desktop). I downloaded the rectangle app, but I tried to take permissions from it and completely disabled it. Don't know what it could be?
    Thanks for the reply.

    Hopefully a new M3 MacBook Air will arrive tomorrow. I intend to have it set up the same as my current M1 MacBook air. Therefore I'll use a Thunderbolt 3 or 4 cable (I have both) to connect the two computers for the highest available data transfer rate via Migration Assistant.
