I'm brand new to the Mac world as of 3-16-21. Just an aside but I'm 70 and want to be an old dog that can learn new tricks. Anyway your tutorial was very informative and I'll be visiting along the way. Again, thank you!
Thanks Anson, that was excellent and just what the Dr ordered, I have just made the move from Microsoft Windows to Mac and after 25 years of using Microsoft Windows you can imagine how lost I was until I spotted your tutorial, extremely helpful, you are a STAR sir and I thank you for taking the time to film the changes, much appreciated, take care & stay SAFE
As a very old woman switching to Mac after nearly 40 years of windows, I found this very helpful. I would have found a slightly slower speed of talking better ,but that is probably an age problem. Thank you ver much.
Been a PC user for 25 years, bought a Mac yesterday and was seconds away from throwing it out the window. Found this video and all is well in the world. Thanks so much.
@@masternobody1896 Yes, there are differences, many differences. As they both have very different ecosystems. And some jobs require mac and some require Windows.
I acquired a MacBook this week, and had a couple of panicky days (after nearly 40 years of using Windows). I wish I'd watched your tutorial first. Absolutely brilliant and you explain everything so clearly and simply. Thank you, great work.
Thank you. My Mac Mini M1 got here yesterday evening, and I have found this video to be quite helpful. It took me from "Oh, cripes. How do I even start doing stuff on this machine?" to "OK, this isn't going to be that hard to learn". I really appreciate the time you took to make and post it.
BEST TUTORIAL EVER! You zoom in and out and take a long time to click on something so that _the viewer can actually see where you are clicking_ ! This seems so obvious to me, but you are the only person ever to do it in my experience! Keep up the good work!
@@jerryatrick6127 There are differences, but more the same than I expected. There are a few keys that are different, the way you install apps is different. There is menu bar at the top of the screen that gives you access to a lot of settings and functions, and a dock at the bottom. The dock is similar to Windows but it adds and removes apps as you use them. Apple is much more security conscious, and ask for your password doing things that I normally do on Windows without a password. I like my Mac. Its different, but enough is the same that there is not a steep learning curve.
wow great tutorials for the 50+who just switched windows to mac. It was very annoying, i thought it was going to be like my ipad or my iphone, it's more complicated. i didn't even know how to right click, copy and paste, that i had to keep my cell next to me to surf how to do things on a mac. Was very frustrating and annoying and even thought of returning it. But it works well with our other devices, so i have to stick with it and learn. Your video was by far the easiest to understand for somebody who is not tech savvy. Thank you.
Great job Anson. Huge help to me. Your teaching is wonderful. I am brand new to Mac and have been so frustrated I haven’t even taken it out in 2 weeks. You gave me hope. Much appreciated
I just ordered a new Macbook Air. First time I've owned a Mac for over 15 years. I doesn't look like much has changed. This has been a useful refresher - thanks.
Just what I needed!! Don't know why I was so stressed about learning to use a Mac....not that hard at all now that I've watched your videos. THANK YOU!!
Im still a little anxious. I guess I will be until I watch this again on my pc while I maneuver on my new mac. I am a hands on learner.I have always wanted a mac but could never afford one. I hope the hype is all it is cracked up to be.
Just bought a Mac Air for my son's school and found this tutorial. I've never used a Mac OS system before. Fantastic simple explanation for basic functions. Makes sense now. Easy and simple explanation that doesn't get over complicated so I am now confident on basic operation. Loved the way you mentioned the Windows equivalent of each Mac icon. Thank you.
Just got my very first mac today - after using a PC for my entire life. Thank you so much for this video - it was super helpful and so easy to follow. I'm really enjoying it so far and it's fun to figure everything out!
Beautiful introduction Alex. Am planning to buy Mac and it helped me understand the difference and the similarities between Windows and Mac. You are best at using a simple way to explain and help beginner Mac users like myself grasp things fast. Thank you.
Thanks so much!! I'm a PC "lifer" and I've applied for a job where Mac is necessary. I'm trying to prepare myself so the learning curve isn't too great. This was great-appreciate that there was no fluff. So many RUclipsrs chat before getting to the actual information.
Anson, that was an excellent tutorial. I’m switching from a PC to a Mac, and this video was just what I needed. I only wish you had a series of videos that continue where this one left off. Thank you. Very grateful.
Thank you for this beginners tutorial. I'm a public school teacher. I teach business and a graphic design class; I teach in a Mac lab and in a PC lab. Very helpful video to get me more comfortable with Macs.
Thank you so much for your explanation! I got my Mac as a Christmas gift, I felt so hard to switch from PC to Mac, finally I got your video, everything start to make sense....
Hi. I have a new Mac. I googled tutorials for new users and yours held my attention the longest. Everyone else talked extremely to fast for me. Thanks so much for the knowldge I acquired the very first time using your tutorial.
Well that was great!!! Just got my iMac yesterday. I’m a little older so the learning curve is definitely there!! Thank you so much! This was a very informative video!
Very helpful. Been using Windows for last 25 years and someone "gifted" me a Macbook Pro. I found this video extremely useful to get a quick intro. Thanks for creating this content. appreciated.
Just bought my first Mac, and although I'm pretty tech savvy, this was the perfect intro! Thank you for speaking quickly and clearly, perfect video for my impatient self.. :)
I bought a MAC and am waiting for delivery. This tutorial is invaluable to me as I have not used MAC in 34 years. So it is greek to me. I have used MS Windows ever since computers came out and in browsing through online stores, I am amazed at how inexpensive MAC is to use. Also, I forgot how easy MAC is and you're tutorial has reminded me of this. TYSM for the video!
You have so saved my sanity. I have been wanting a Mac book for so long, loving my ipad and phone, but using an ancient pc with windows 7. Well my MacBook arrived and after hours and hours of “you can’t get there from here games” I was close to flinging it out an upstairs window! But I’m back and resparked to carry on after your so very helpful explanations. Thank you. Thank you!
Very helpful. I’m a lifelong PC user for computing, but I do have an iPhone and iPad. Just bought a Pro and was still completely lost! Thank you for this overview.
Thank you. My teacher is new to Mac and not good with computers. I'm a Windows user since young. This is easy to comprehend. Detailed Explanation. Cheers.
Excellent tutorial. I have been floundering around for quite some time. I learned a lot. He does speak to you like you are a beginner so I never got lost and I really appreciated that.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! Having not really used a PC since being made redundant 2 years ago and then trying to start again, having been a lifelong Windows user, this has saved me! My Mac nearly got launched out of the window this week but I now know the basics and have a solid foundation upon which to learn even more! So grateful! ❤❤
You're welcome, I'm glad it was helpful. I actually just published an updated version of this tutorial last week: ruclips.net/video/9mDK3C2em7M/видео.html
I know you prolly won't read this since it's an old video, but I just got a Mac for my first job and I've somehow never used one before. Found it really helpful and would like to say thank you :)
Thank you! I have iPad Pro and iPhone. Need a laptop. People were telling me “Don’t get a MAC, it’s too complicated”. After watching your video, I think I’m gonna Love a MAC Air!
It's been almost 5 years since I used my Macbook and this has been a big help. I bought a it last year and am currently using a 2020 Maboook Air. Thank you for the help man.
Thanks so much. It took me awhile to find a video like this that would explain, what's on a Mac. This gave me the information I was looking for and I now feel comfortable to order my first Apple product.
@@n.s.5278 super stable, quiet and mostly trouble free. Love the fact that it’s footprint is minimal. Only issue I have had: waking up from sleep can be slow with many monitors models and 3rd party ms office licenses are pricier. I would still never pay full retail. Gently used unit is the best bang for the buck.
Thanks for this, I'm moving completely to Mac OS soon and although I've used a macbook air for a number of years, I've never really looked into the basics just scraping by. Great video.
Excellent video! I'm about to move from PC to Mac and have been scouring the internet trying to find helpful sites/videos for further information. This was invaluable - thank you!
I have a MacBook Pro and have been Mac user for a long time but I'm here because of quarantine and Im here to listen to this guy's all American voice. LOL and I learned a few Mac tips !
Thank you! Very useful for me as i've recently got a Macbook at work. I did guess most of this stuff intuitively, but I am happy that you showed the concept of the Home Folder and where to find it. Very useful for me as I handle tons of files of various categories.
this was such a good tutorial!!! I was feeling so lost. Mac is just not as intuitive as windows, or may its just that I've used windows all my life, I was so disappointed and felt like an old grandparent just completely lost with their computer. this was really helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for the intro guide! I’m coming from windows into Mac for the first time outside of iPadOS and iOS. Can’t wait to feel more at home on my M1 Mac mini.
thank you! I'm a Windows user since day 1 and just bought a Mac to do video editing for a vlog and was totally lost in the equivalent of "windows explorers". The part on Sidebar has saved my sanity as I couldn't understand how to find a high-level view of my hard drive! Thanks Anson!
FANTASTIC and so very helpful. I am getting a new MAC this coming week...and now I feel I am quite familiar with the basics. You are a great instructor!! looking forward to more tutorials after I get the computer. THANKS
Great video for mac beginners! Would love a video that helps me organize my files that have been downloaded from Word and Excel. Managing files on a mac seems much more difficult than a pc.
I just got my first MacBook and I love it. Thank you so much for being very descriptive when you speak it made it easy for me to follow even as a voiceover user.
I'm a newbie and this was done very nice (as good as the one from 2014) and look forward to finding more!! Great job!! Oh, I've been a PCer since before they came out (Commodore) :-) Since Windows has gotten so messed up I thought I'd give a Mac a try :-) Oh, I'm 67 yrs young too :-)
AWESOME THANKS AND TO MY SON FOR SHARING SINCE I CAN'T TAKE IN STORE CLASSES AT THE MOMENT. SOOO MUCH BETTER TATN THAT ANYWAY! HE'S GRATEFUL I MIGHT LEARN SOMETHING AND NOT HAVE TO DRIVE HIM CRAZY!
just got my very first MacBook Air laptop and I'm completely lost but after watching this video I feel there is light at the end of the tunnel. I've always had a windows laptop, apple iPhone and apple iPads so I am familiar with some of apples apps and how it works. In saying that the laptop is a whole new experience and I am looking forward to the challenge. Not sure I like the 'numbers' app on here prefer excel but will watch a few video's to get me over my fear. I have subscribed to your channel a) because your video's are awesome and b)you have a lovely calming voice which is so important to me. Thanks again will watch more tomorrow and hopefully switch over from windows without having a nervous breakdown and drinking the contents of my bar lol
Least intuitive part of macos to me (a longtime windows user) is having the menu bar at the top instead of in the app window. Second would be the red button not always closing apps and needing to go into the menu and quit them. Otherwise they seem similar enough to me to not be a big deal.
Thanks! I just got the new M1 MacBook Air yesterday and I literally spent 20 minutes just staring at the screen trying to figure out how to install a program that I downloaded. I finally figured out that you just have to drag the icon an inch across the screen and drop it on the applications folder icon. My gosh.
MacOS is fantastic. I am a pro at it and still just wanted to watch for the fun of it. it really is the best OS. i would not hide the bar at the bottom while trying to teach. and, one last thing, the Red X will "close" utilities (sys pref, notes, etc) but does NOT close Programs (safari, mail etc)
Tutorial for beginners was very helpful, I just need to find out how I can make the apple fonts larger, they are too small, so is the red, yellow and green buttons
Great, thank you so much. I'm glad it was easy to understand. BTW, I've published an updated version of this tutorial here if you're interested:ruclips.net/video/9mDK3C2em7M/видео.html

Thanks for this beginner tutorial! I am a travel RUclips vlogger and I’m trying to switch from windows to Mac! this was helpful!
Loving this as it's not "how to make mac more like windows" like a lot of the tutorials I've watched - I want to learn to use a mac as a mac. Thanks!
Thank you thank you. I’m 26 years old but too prideful to being taught by others when it comes to tech. Thank you.
I am poor but you are 🍀Lucky!

just got my very first MacBook Air laptop and I'm completely lost but after watching this video I feel there is light at the end of the tunnel. I've always had a windows laptop, apple iPhone and apple iPads so I am familiar with some of apples apps and how it works. In saying that the laptop is a whole new experience and I am looking forward to the challenge. Not sure I like the 'numbers' app on here prefer excel but will watch a few video's to get me over my fear. I have subscribed to your channel a) because your video's are awesome and b)you have a lovely calming voice which is so important to me. Thanks again will watch more tomorrow and hopefully switch over from windows without having a nervous breakdown and drinking the contents of my bar lol
Had my mac a while now and still learned something - nice video.
Watched two other videos and glad I came across yours. Best, easy to understand, no frills explanation. Thank you!
Least intuitive part of macos to me (a longtime windows user) is having the menu bar at the top instead of in the app window. Second would be the red button not always closing apps and needing to go into the menu and quit them. Otherwise they seem similar enough to me to not be a big deal.
Thanks! I just got the new M1 MacBook Air yesterday and I literally spent 20 minutes just staring at the screen trying to figure out how to install a program that I downloaded. I finally figured out that you just have to drag the icon an inch across the screen and drop it on the applications folder icon. My gosh.
Thank u, switching from PC To Mac. Waiting for my iMac 27" 5K to ship out. 😁👍
How is your experience of using Imac?
@@Gadl-pq5ey not good. I used it for an hour and returned it. I like PC. I'm a PC guy.. I can't deal with Macs. 😐
both windows and mac are the best 👏👏
MacOS is fantastic. I am a pro at it and still just wanted to watch for the fun of it. it really is the best OS. i would not hide the bar at the bottom while trying to teach.
and, one last thing, the Red X will "close" utilities (sys pref, notes, etc) but does NOT close Programs (safari, mail etc)
I'm seriously thinking about making the switch from PC to Mac so thanks for the tutorial!
im watching this on a Apple VM inside Windows 10, i want to run Win 10 inside Apple next! Great start!
Just transitioning from a PC to Mac, very useful video. Thanks a lot.
You're welcome!
I just bought one today and I'm excited and nervous to try apple ecosystem. It looks complicated
it looks hard in beginning but trust me its easier than windows
This is my first day using my Mac, Thank you for teaching me and us a specific guide for this Mac Computer.
You're very welcome!
Tutorial for beginners was very helpful, I just need to find out how I can make the apple fonts larger, they are too small, so is the red, yellow and green buttons
I don't say this often but you are fantastic One of the best presentations I ever heard
Great, thank you so much. I'm glad it was easy to understand. BTW, I've published an updated version of this tutorial here if you're interested:ruclips.net/video/9mDK3C2em7M/видео.html
