Gary I'm starting to believe that you are not human. I think that when Apple updates their products you also receive an over-the-air update. Your videos are so informative yet straightforward that no matter the user level everyone understands. Thank you for all that you do.
"informative yet straightforward that no matter the user level everyone understands." - so true! thanks Gary!! 🥇you're the best.
"Hope you found this useful" is the most underrated thing to say for Gary's videos. Thank you Gary!
Gary, your videos are not only informative but are also backed by years and years of your mastery over Apple systems. Kudos❤
❤ hands down
Never cease to amaze with your depth of knowledge. Your title is: Master Power User
While in accessibility and changing "Text size", clicking one of the sub categories will show your changes immediately, without a logout/restart. Thank you Gary, you’re awesome. 🎉
I found this Chanel by accident, so glad I found it!
Thank you, Gary! I like checking out the changes after updates but don't want to spend the time going through every screen and setting on my own. This is a terrific summary and was certainly worth my time. Your videos are all very well done. 🙂
Gary I haven't commented for some time on your videos, but they are so well presented and easy to follow, even for the basic users like myself. Thanks so much.
Your video came just about the right time. I just finished setting up a new Mini, this afternoon. I hadn't had a new one in awhile. I changed a bunch of passwords, so on and so forth. Very nice fall afternoon. Really enjoyed doing that and your content was spot on. Take care.
Thanks a lot, Gary! Super calm but informative tutorials. Y’re the best!
Always learning new things. Thanks a lot.
Thank you. I love how you’re concise for each new feature.
As usual, very useful information. Many thanks!
Thanks very much, Gary, for this extremely informative video! Some unexpected new settings and a way to remove unwanted wallpapers amongst other things very helpful.
Thank you Gary for this video. Especially the part with the wallpapers I found very helpful!
A very useful and informative video tutorial today! Thank you, Gary!👏❤️
Installed Sonoma last night. Lot’s of things to learn. ❤️
Well done, thank you!
Very Useful thanks!
Thanks. Your videos are the best informative ones.
That tip on Desktop Wallpapers is a good one, Gary. Thanks. Will be looking forward to your Safari tips and tricks and especially Profiles.
Wow! As usual, you give incredible advice. I live in Rome, and my OS hasn't reached the point of eliminating the "hey" in "Hey Siri" and there seem to be no groceries in Memorandum, although my OS is up-to-date, but that's not the end of the world.
Very informative and easy to follow instructions. Thank you!
Thank you!
Very well done, very clear. I have Sonoma in Italian, but there is no problem with finding the commands. (The Italian version hasn't caught up with eliminating the "Hey" before Siri and you have to say "Ei Siri".
Many thanks Gary
Thank you so much 💓
I always enjoy your video's. I don't always agree with you, but it always make sense. I am looking at buying iMac 2023 version. I look forward to what other's say about this machine.
Thanks for creating this video.
Thanks bunches
Just updated thanks Gary. I'll have to loo to find a video about how to add widgets to the desktop.
ruclips.net/video/emXRIEbf1NI/видео.html
Thank you Gary. I find your video very informative and helpful to keeping up with all the changes to MacOS. I'm not a fan of the "Move All Windows out of the way" feature. I'm not sure how I activate the windows moving, it's always by accident. And, I know it returns to normal after clicking the desktop. But I find it annoying. JMO, but thank you for cover this setting. Enjoy the Journey - Cheers
Yup, that's the first setting I turned off after the update. I learned that I usually click the desktop to close Control Center and other menus, so I was constantly triggering this feature. I didn't even realize I did that! 😆
Thank you! The greyed out widgets when they don’t have the focus was bugging the heck out of me. Set it to full color.
Hi Gary, question for you about widgets. With Sonoma is the option completely gone to see them in the side window on the right side where you could slide open that window to see temp, stocks, old pictures, etc?
I really like that feature in Montery that I use many times per day and would hate to lose that functionality if I upgrade to Sonoma. It feels like keeping widgets on desktop is useless because my active windows are full screen on my 13" air, and it would be ineffiencent to open and close windows to see the widgets.
Thank you as always for the great reviews and videos.
Great vid! Any idea how we get the new menu bar/tool bar appearance at the top of the screen? I see you're still on the old appearance (as am I), but I'm wondering how to turn on the new menu bar/
I don't know what you mean by that. There is no new/old "appearance" for the Menu Bar. Can you be more specific about what you are trying to do?
Great information Gary. My 2017 iMac would not download Sonoma and I was a little upset about that. After watching this video I learned, I don’t need Sonoma. I feel Apple 🍏 is playing with us sometimes. Thank you for what you do.
Playing with us? How so? They clearly publish, well in advance, the list of Mac systems that will be compatible with major system updates.
On the Aerial screensavers, if you just stop using one of them and switch to something else (like a static wallpaper and a built-in screensaver like Flurry), they remove themselves after a while. I tested a bunch of them after updating, and they all now show the little downward-arrow "download" symbol, meaning MacOS removed them from both of my Macs.
Very informative as usual. I wish I could adjust text size for the menu bar, independently of screen resolution
You can. Not new. System Settings, Accessibility, Display, Menu bar size.
@@macmost Hi Gary! How nice of you to take the time to reply! I had seen that option, but you can only choose between default and large, which is not that large when you are in 4K. I wish that, where the text size slider is, (which allows for a quite larger text size) besides calendar, finder, etc… there was « menu bar ». Anyway, I’m a big fan of yours, never miss a video, keep up your excellent work and thank you very much🙏🏻!
@@philipcaron6805 If the Large size is still too small, then you definitely need to adjust your resolution as likely other things are too small as well for you. With a 4K screen I like the 1080 (4x, HiDPI) resolution myself.
Hi Gary, is there any way to change our lock screen memoji back to the middle of the screen. Like the previous version, kinda stressing out they shifted the memoji lock screen down below.
Is there a way to change the day glow coloring? It is making me nuts. I've tried everything.
Thanks for the video. The edit function when you take a screenshot - like adding text and colors - seems to have disappeared in Sonoma. You could do that in Monterey but now the edit line has gone ? Any way to get it back ?
Nothing has changed there. Check your screenshot options and make sure the floating thumbnail is on.
HI Gary.. can you please tell me which video you explain how to change any blue folder when you create a new one to a picture icon instead of the blue folder icon? thanks. Norm,
Looks like you found it...
Yes i found it ..thanks so much...and yes you were right. i needed to format the SSD T7 Samsung to get the folder icon to work from freeform YOU are the best..and thank you again. I love being subscribed to your channel
hi Gary, in SONOMA how do you gather all open windows on another screen back to main display screen or built in display without having to go to the 2nd monitor or 3rd monitor screens
One way would be to use the window switcher keyboard shortcut for that app, then the menu bar item to bring it to the display you want.
fantastic help ,since I upgraded to Sonoma it keeps moving my external hard drive icons after start up ?? very frustrating .. any advice ? thanks for your time
Moving them? Where are you looking? The Finder sidebar? The Desktop? Somewhere else? Where does it move them to?
thanks so much for reply , yes the desk top icon . one drive for Time Machine the other for storage .have them in bottom right corner , after start up moves one of them to top right corner . have swapped them around into different ports in the rear , still same results and even put in a 3rd drive . moves two back to top and leaves the same one drive in Botton where I dragged it . soooo frustrating , have gone into disc manger to repair , reinstall , rename , tried lots of permutations .. just stuck . running iMac 2021 and 14.2.1
many thanks for any ideas

Thanks for your quick reply. I use Xfinity/Comcast as email. It does not always happen just occasionally . I have opened my email using Google Chrome and the picture/advertisement loads just fine so I think it lies with either Safari or my iMac? I had a previous older iMac and it also had this occasional problem. Txs
I'm missing some context here. What is "it?"
In Locations on Finder menu, on the left, underneath HD, inadvertently I lost the external for the flash and other things like that. I do I get them back on and access their contents? Thanks
Look in Finder, Finder Settings, Sidebar and make sure the things you want are checked. If you still don't see them you may have simply closed the list. Move your pointer over the "Locations" heading in the Finder sidebar and click the little arrow next to it to expand.
Hi Gary, do you know if there's a way to make a Sierra bootable usb key (for an old MacBook Pro 2010) with a MacBook Air M1 ? Also, after I downloaded Sierra disk image, my Mac asked me to install Rosetta to open it and I did it. Will Rosetta affects the performances of my Mac ? Should I uninstall Rosetta ? Thanks
I suppose. It is just a matter of formatting it right, loading the image for Sierra right. I haven't needed to make something like that for a long time so I don't know the steps. Rosetta will only do something if you are trying to run an old Intel app so don't worry about that.
For the lock screen profile picture + the bar where you enter your passoword, I prefered how it was big and in the middle of the screen over it being at the bottom and barely visible. Is there a way to switch it back to the middle? Thank you
No, there is no way to switch it back.
Aw well thank you!@@macmost
Hey Gary, my Cannon printer refuses to connect to my new M1 MacBook Air. I have a work around, save the doc to files, opening on my iPad and print. I'm ready to replace the ink jet printer....can you recommend a brand/model?
I only have experience with the ones I have used. I try to go paperless, so I haven't bought one in a long time (using an HP that isn't made anymore). Did you call Canon support?
Is there a different location for the "Dynamic" wallpapers? I downloaded the Ventura flower and can't seem to find where it was saved.
Not sure where it would be and in what format, sorry.
Gary, very informative info.. Txs Just wondering if you might understand why some of my emails when using Safari when they have pictures in the email show up for 1 second then disappear and it's just a blank box with a ? mark. Now If I elect to reply , the inmates show up?? Txs
Not sure what you mean. Are you using a web-based email site? Then the problem would be with that site specifically.
have my mac update to14,3 Sonoma I use google browser, I get to the point where you copy the icon after that I can't find the folder clipboard that you get to customize the folder
So it sounds like you are trying to create a custom icon for a folder? Is that right? If so, see ruclips.net/video/ykubMRVZofw/видео.html
Thanks for this video Sir GAry, Helps alot.
But I have a problem, some alphabets in the google search results are not coming out right. The C turns the opposite direction as well as other some other alphabets. I tried so many options but nothing seems to work. Can you help pls 🙏😢😢
Sounds like you have to check your Language & Region settings. If that doesn't work call Apple Support.
Thank you very much for the update. Could somebody tell me how come when I open Notes on my MacBook Air that say no Notes. I have to open Notes on my iPhone and then I have all my notes on my MacBook. 🤔
Check your accounts. You probably have iCloud enabled for Notes on your iPhone, but turned off on your Mac. Go to System Settings, Apple ID, iCloud, More Apps, Notes.
@@macmost Thank you very much. 👍
Gary, I've got a question regarding accessing specific System Settings.
Prior to the most recent MacOS update, if I wanted to go to a specific System Setting, I would two-finger-click on the system setting icon in my dock, and a pop-up window would appear, from which I could immediately select the specific setting I want. However, the recent update seems to have disabled that now, and all I see when I two-finger-click is (from top to bottom) Options, Show Recents, and Open.
Has Apple disabled this convenient function, or is there a way that I can bring it back by changing another setting in the OS?
Thanks...
I see the same. Probably a bug. Hopefully they fix it. Report it if you want to help.
@@macmost Well, as it turns out, I did a reboot of my computer, and it all came back. The two-finger-click brought back the entire pop-up menu.
I feel stupid!
Hey Gary, is it possible to add Share via Gmail option to macOS Sonoma Finder?
I want to send a file by opening a New Message dialog from Gmail directly, not using macOS Mail app.
If Gmail is you email service that you use in the Mail app, then that's how it would work. But perhaps you mean you are using Gmail on the web? In that case, no. There's no way to use the Share menu to manipulate the web interface like that.
Can anyone tell me why I can't delete 2 "Places" in the MY PLACES section of Apple Maps? It is an old work address and it shows up there twice. I swipe left on iPhone or iPad and tap on delete. They return every time. Deleted Maps app, they are back. They won't delete from Maps on Mac OS Sonoma either. The two addresses show in My Places under Waypoints on my Apple Watch Ultra as well. I've looked everywhere on line and all I can find is people asking this same question but no concrete answers. Thanks to anyone who can shed light on this
I was hoping reminder would have a default size
gary have Sonoma 14.2 and some web sites in safari browser open in reader mode, how can I stop that? thanks John
Look in Safari, Settings, Websites, then Reader on the left. Then carefully examine the list on the right to see how you may have set Reader mode as the default for some sites and change it.
How can I sort out screen not off once I immediately lock the screen option using hot corners ?
Not sure. When I set a Hot Corner to "Lock Screen" it will lock the screen but not turn it off yet.
Can you use Game Mode for Lightroom Classic or Photoshop?
No, it is just for apps categorized as games. Those apps are graphic intensive, but they aren't trying to generate fast frame rendering or anything like you'd see in games.
I have Sonoma 14.1. How can I backup my iPhone 6+? I have been looking for weeks but so far, I do not know how! Before Sonoma I had macOS 12: Monterey, backing up my iPhone 6+, easy but Sonoma, I do not know how. but there must be a way!
Should be the same. Connect your iPhone, go to it in the Finder, choose the backup option there. If you can't find it, call Apple Support and they'll walk you through it.
Gary. I am still having trouble with screen shots??? they are not saving to my desktop, whereas they were always saved there before Sonoma???? HELP WITH SAVING SCREEN SHOTS on MacBook Pro??
Check your options. Use Shift+Command+5, then look at options to see where you have them set to save.
Please explain as to how to rotate screen in mackOS Sonoma 14.2. In System settings-> Displays, there is no sub-menu '' Rotate ''. Regards.
It is still in the same place. Perhaps the screen you are using, or the way you are using it, does not support rotation?
I love watching your videos even though I am a Windows 11 user. One thing I wish MS could do is bring back desktop gadgets like Windows Vista and 7 because their widgets now are a joke - it's mostly all news garbage! I don't want to see news when it is all depressing. Even when you follow what interests you, that still doesn't change much. I want to have a clock and Calander on desktop! lol Maybe someday they will, but it sure makes me want to switch to Mac sometimes. I like a lot of the other features Mac has too.
Hi Gary, thank you for your video. Please help me... I have Sonoma in Macmini. I need to have all the applications windows that i need to use, on my desktop. I disable Stage Manager, but the windows spring up casually, when i call Safari, disappear mail, sometimes one remain active sometimes not, and if i call another app, all disappear.Ther is a function to disable the multitasking setting? thank you
Maybe you are using Mission Control to have multiple spaces, or have some of those windows in Full Screen mode? Or maybe you are minimizing some of the windows?
hi thank you for your answer@@macmost, I checked and I havent mission control with multiplr space, nor full screen windows. sometimes i minimize the windows. in my case the windows called, spring on, and the other disppaear... very strange, in ventura wasn't like this...can be usefull reinstall sonoma?
thank you for the help.
@@Akiraruben Reinstalling won't make any difference. You need to figure out what you are doing that is causing this unexpected behavior, understand it, and change your steps to get it to do what you want.
I had my iMac set to announce the time on the hour. I installed Sonoma and now it no longer works. I have tried everything I could think of but it just will not announce the time anymore. Any suggestions?
Did you try switching that off and back on? A restart? Check the volume? If still no, then call Apple Support.
man... my new b2b contractor forced me to use ubuntu laptop.... continuous issues with my bluetooth keyboard, mouse and speakers... I miss macbooks so much, :(
Can the new zoom per monitor feature be combined with the "smaller text" in like a 1440p display setting for example to fix the scaling people complain about? This is very interesting.
No, it wouldn't be used in that way. Are you talking about using a 4K display in 1440 resolution? That would be the same. And whether it is even a problem depends on the display, how you are connected, and other factors.
I just want to know how to change the sleep settings on my Macbook Air, the settings are gone or at least changed to a degree that make no sense to me. I don't want the computer to sleep so quickly, I think it's less than 5 minutes. I believe it used to be under Energy Saver but that no longer exists.

The Stealth Mode in the Firewall has a very annoying bug. After turning it on, the firewall UI can’t function properly. Anyone?

How much memory an app is using isn't as relevant as your memory pressure. See ruclips.net/video/WTyoSv_hpgg/видео.html
Is there a single key, or a combination of keys, that toggles on/off all widgets? The combination ⌘⌃w doesn't work. Thank you!
Not sure what it is you are trying to do. Do you want to just turn off the widgets? You'd have to do that in System Settings. Where did you see that ⌘⌃w does this?
6:51 Only the moving wallpapers are here, but where can I find the dynamic wallpapers?
It is the first group, right at the top.
@@macmostYou mean ”2KAVC” ? That is empty for me, even though I have downloaded dynamic wallpapers.
The finder folder displays at the top of all other folders on the desktop even if you highlight another folder. Is there a setting to adjust this?
I'm not sure what you mean by "Finder Folder." All folders are Finder folders.
@@macmost bottom left of the dock FINDER icon which open a folder. This folder opens up on top of all other folders I have open. If I click on another folder that is open it does not come to the front of this folder. Apps like messenger, iMessage also sit behind this folder. All other folders do not act this way. This started happening on the latest update.

I've been waiting to upgrade my 2013 27" iMac for a long time. Why isn't Apple making a 27" iMac with an M3 chip?
Hi Gary. How can I activate "Game Mode?". Thank you
You launch a game.
Oh, it would started by default!
Hi Gary, great videos, keep up the excellent work. Could you air an issue which nobody is currently able to resolve with Apple; namely
Why is the Pages insertion point so small?
The ‘insertion point’ in Pages word processing documents is very difficult to see due to its small size and yellow colour and I was hoping that the new version of Sonoma would address this problem and enable this to be changed in the accessibility settings!
Several replies in Apple and Mac forums on this issue have mistaken the ‘insertion point’ for the mouse pointer which Apple devices can easily change in size and colour but is a completely different issue.
No-one seems to be able to answer the question of how to increase the size or appearance of the ‘insertion point’ and people have been requesting Apple to address this problem for nearly a decade !!!
Is there a solution I’m not aware of ?
Have Apple simply not bothered to address this accessibility issue?? Or
Is no one using Pages these days so nobody cares anyway ???
I understand that Apple boffins don’t frequent discussion forums so the issue will not get through to them. Could you include in one of your future Pages discussion videos so that hopefully Apple will sit up and finally take notice.
Many thanks.
Once again - keep up the great work.👍
Technically, the vertical line in text is the "cursor" and the arrow you move with your mouse or trackpad is the "pointer." But so many people use the term cursor for the pointer that it gets confusing. I say "text cursor" to make it clear.
I don't know of a native way to make the text cursor larger in Pages. You can change the color in System Settings, Appearance, Accent Color. This change the accent color for all apps that use this system setting. Normally each app has a default (like Pages is yellow). So give that a try.
after that I update new mcos Sonoma , I can't see main Manu on top of screen anymore
Perhaps you are using an app in Full Screen mode?
The video lag problems still exist on 14.2.1 on a MacBook Pro 2019 (i9, 32GB RAM). This problem is so big for me that I'm wanting a downgrade to Ventura.
My downloaded files come unzipped. I need them to stay zipped. I cannot figure how to change this or where to change this. Any help?
How are you downloading them? If you are clicking on links in Safari, then turn off Safari, Settings, General, Open "safe" files after downloading.
Don’t see that option for “safe” in my general
@@shelleybezona1691just to make sure you are in the right place, what DO you see in Safari, Settings, General?
Under general, I see: about, software update, storage, airdrop, login, coverage, language, date and time, sharing, time machine, transfer or reset, startup disk. I’ve looked in other places and am just not seeing safe download?
@@shelleybezona1691 You are in the wrong place. You are looking at SYSTEM SETTINGS, General. This is a setting in Safari, not a system setting. Switch to Safari. Then go to the SAFARI menu: Safari, Settings, General.

Very comprehensive tutorial, however, I wonder if OS Sonoma will run any faster than OS Ventura on my 2020 iMac (with 64GB RAM)? Ever since I upgraded to Ventura, it's like I have been "thrown back" 20 years! Everything runs slower; Booting up the computer, launching Applications, scrolling though a multiple page pdf, actually scrolling through ANY pages on or off the internet, transferring files from Flash drives, etc, etc. Although the talk is "faster, faster, faster" I'm not seeing this. Actually what I am seeing, in comparing my older iMac 2015 running an ancient Mac OS El Capitan to my newer iMac (with 64GB RAM) running OS Ventura is slower, slower & slower.............. (and overly complicated System settings............and fonts being "locked" in the HD > System > Library > Fonts folder. What is THIS all about?? ...........and oh yes, why can I no longer copy the link to your video and paste it into a Pages doc so I can save the link and easily go back and re-watch the video to refresh my memory on how to do this or that?
Sounds like you have some issues. You need to get your machine checked out. Just upgrading the OS wouldn't do this.
@@macmost Same behavior on [ both ] computers running OS Ventura - 2020 MacBook AIR M1 w/8GB RAM and 2020 iMac 27" 5K w/3.6 GHz 10-Core Intel Core i9 processor and 64GB RAM. Hardly likely BOTH computers would exhibit the same slow behavior. JFYI. (The only "issue" it seems I have is that "new and better" is not necessarily "new and better".)
@@rogerbeltz2370 Definitely get this checked out though. Tons of people have upgraded their Macs to Ventura and beyond and this isn't happening to all of them. Maybe something you have installed on both? Don't put up with it, get it checked out.
@@macmost Ok will do. Thanks for the feed back.

How do you change color of folders in mac 14. It won't work watching a ventura tutorial
Do you mean set a custom icon for the folder? the way to do that hasn’t changed. where in the process are you having trouble?
customizing the color of the folder, I have google browser, I do not useSafari@@macmost
I watched your video several times. I want customize and change color. On my google browser After copying desktop folder I go to file. I do not get the NEW FROM CLIPBOARD, so the google works alot different from your Safari. When I go to search and type in preview a long list pops up and there's nothing related to clipboard. when I click on the clipboard in the edit menu all I get is a blank folder. Does this makes more sense. I'm not very good with punctuations
@@daviddahl8562 Not sure what you are doing. Watch it again and pay very close attention to each step. I don't show anything "Google" in that video.
I'm following it right to the letter several times over. It doesn't work on google mac 14, your using safari. I copy the folder that i want to customize. I go to the file menu on top. it does not show the new clipboard. I go to the search bar I type in preview there is nothing there is a list that pops up I scroll down there is nothing there. I can not get to that new clipboard to customize the folder. I'm sure there's a different way to do it on google browser. If you still don't understand what I'm trying to tell you I'll try and make a screen recording to share with you. I'm also gonna try and search more for an answer. Thank you for trying
New update messed with a couple third party apps
Which apps? What did support for those apps say when you contacted them? They had 4 months of developer beta tests to get their apps ready for Sonoma.
It's just me who thinks the Sonoma default wallpaper is ugly af?
Anyways, thanks for sharing your findings with the community, Gary.
Very buggy OS. Touch ID is disabled after 2 days, revived by a complete shutdown. 14.1 does not correct this
Did you contact Apple Support about that? That's not normal.
@@macmostNo. I’m not a developer and living in the UK, I avoid using the phone
@@jeffharmed1616 OK, but if you are having some issue and haven't tried to get help, then really not fair to state "very buggy OS." Could be a setting or something you are doing.
I love that they added separate settings for acceleration between mouse and trackpad, but god why won't they add the scroll direction separate? On a track pad it makes sense to use the natural scrolling, but on a mouse it is weird when you have a mouse with an actual wheel.
My biggest disappointment with Sonoma is that I was previously able to drag emails from Mail to Reminders. It was an easy, quick way to keep an eye on emails that needed response. Now it's gone. You can't do this anymore. Why Apple? Do we really need to look for third-party applications?
You can still do that. I just tried it to be sure and it worked.
@@macmost I drag emails into Reminders window and all I have is title only (text), without that clickable "mail" icon on the right. Any ideas what can it be?
@@chrisinglik4115 Are you dragging into the list itself? I see the title, and then a mail icon to the right. I click the icon and it takes me to the message.
@@macmost Yes I'am. It used to work. Now there's TXT only and no icon. Isn't it strange?
@@chrisinglik4115 Maybe keep trying different things. Definitely works for me. Can do it over and over again with a simple drag.
Thanks, I don't know where Apple got that horrendous idea to have widgets, the most useless and distracting desktop feature ever invented by anyone (no it wasn't Apple to begin with, it mostly started on Linux with the KDE Plasmoids). Good that you can fully disable that malarkey, I was holding off updating my current system until I was certain to be able to get rid of them!
If they aren't for you, then just don't use them.
no i’m not a kid i am silly that’s all
I want to downgrade to Ventura pleaseeeeeee 🤒🤕🥵🥵🥵
HA HA you never show what I need, just joking :) How do you always have Folder Windows Tabs if you have 2 open? So far it pot luck if it happens
