coming from 25 years of Windows usage, bought an M3 Air after hearing good things, and trying to learn this sort of alien OS while pulling out the hairs that are left, this video is the best one I will save this for repeat viewing
So I have used windows before windows with windows and there was IBM & internet dialup I’m now 45. I think I’m bout to buy my first MacBook Pro for music production and DJ. I’m so tired of the compatibility issues with drivers updates and all kind of stuff that sends PCs into a frenzy
I used Mac’s back in the 90s. This is utterly ridiculous. They have intentionally made this OS into a big steaming pile. I did not realize I would have to spend weeks learning basics in order to get a laptop. I am furious & there’s no videos in between “you’re using your first computer” & “super specific hi tech tasks.”
So Good!!! I appreciate that you don't talk so darned fast as the other tutorials I have tried to watch; it takes a minute to absorb the information! You do a great job of being clear and quite thorough in presenting the material in a easy to understand way . This video is a lifesaver for me!
Thank you for the best beginner tutorial on RUclips. I had my first PC back in 1985 when Windows began! Now, at 75, I have switched to an Apple Mac as I can no longer bear Windows! I purchased a MacBook Air M3 only three days ago; you may well have saved my sanity! Thanks again for such a detailed tutorial.
Thank you for this basics tutorial. I've been on Windows ever since Windows 95 and my first 386, but my new job is on Mac, so now I gotta start all over again at the age of 68. Your tutorial has helped a lot.
I found this tutorial for beginners absolutely fantastic. I appreciate how the tutorial compared the process with Windows, making it easier for me to understand. I have been a Windows user for over 20 years and just recently bought a MacBook. This video was like a light in a dark room for me. I am very grateful for the help. Thank you so much.
nach über 20 jahren auf Windows habe ich mir nun ein Macbook gekauft . deshalb bin ich für dieses ausführliche, bestens erklärte video mehr als dankbar . fantastisch ! vielen herzlichen dank !
Your tutorial was EXTREMELY helpful as I transition to a Mac after 20 years using Windows. You answered practically every question I had, including how to change the scrolling direction on the mouse! Thank you!
@@AnsonAlexander Because it base on the screen scrolling of a touch screen device like a phone. I dont liked it at first but my brain have make the switch and it more natural when you think because the trackpad work the same.
Thank you so much for this video. Yours is so much better than all the other ones - you actually cover lots of tiny details like unmounting the dmg drives after installation and fixing the inverted scroll wheel. Plus you have chapters and everything is laid out logically. As a programmer who just got forced onto mac today because of a job, I appreciate this more than you know.
You're very welcome. I'm glad to hear it. Those are some of the nuances that I felt most people would want to know about so happy to hear it's helping out. Good luck with the new job!
Thank you. I’m a academic and have been using both . I purchased the MacBook Pro M2 and I’m digging in with my Apple products and educate myself on the proper way to use it . God bless you and thank you for your service.❤
Just got my new iMac with the M3 SOC, glad I found your channel. I wanted it in Starlight color, but wasn't available, so I opted for the Teal Green. I will return here as I continue to transition to the Mac Universe. Be blessed in Him. Post Tenebras Lux.
Hello just saw your video a while ago and as i watch you like 3 mins or so,im 100 sure that your the one that we new users of mcOs is looking for.Thank you so much and after i watch your video im sure have to repeat it several times for me to learn all,im a 52 year old learner so lets see.Also subscribed to your channel.
Love the vid! being a newbie to the apple eco-system making the transition from windows to Mac, this vid was very informative and helpful. Can't wait to see your other tutorial videos to watch and learn. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! My boss just bought me a MacBook and I am shocked at how much I'm struggling despite using all the other Apple products for years. I just queued up a ton of your other tutorials, too.
Thank you for creating such an insightful and detailed guide for macOS! As someone transitioning from Windows, this video has been a game-changer. Your clear explanations and step-by-step approach made everything so much easier to grasp. Keep up the amazing work-you're helping so many of us become more confident in navigating new tech!
Alex thank you so much. I’ve been a long time windows user and recently decided to jump head first into the Apple ecosystem. I already have an iphone, watch and ipad which I love and it was only a matter of time to purchase a MacBook. Your video was a great introduction into the MacBook Air Vibe. Great detail, I used my ipad and practiced on the Mac. RUclips was a useful tool that alowed me to start, stop and refresh a day later if i forgot something. I feel i’m now off to a good start. Thanks
I just got a macbook today first time ever using a Mac product I have used the iPhone a lot thank you for making this enjoyable and digestible and not me having to have APHD and 17 doctors in technology to understand you thank you very much
This was invaluable. Anson, you're a fabulous trainer and you sure know your Apple stuff! I just finally broke free of Windows and bought myself an Apple today. Always wanted one so now I'm in learning mode. Your tutorial was one of the best I have ever watched as far as a smooth learning experience. Your voice, your way of instructing is fun and easy to understand. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I’ve been using windows for the last 30 years. I just purchased a Mac and I’m ready to learn it as quickly as possible . Thank you so much sir!
Just Purchased my first iMac after being on Windows for 37 Years, Just hope it's as easy as you say. If I have problems I know where to look.Thanks for a Great Tutorial.
i've been a windows user for over 20 years and just got my hands on the new MacBook air M2 , it's a whole new world , and more interesting as well , great video!
Great introductory video for Windows users. As a freelancer I'll always be focused on the Windows world to support my customers, but I wanted to take the Mac for a spin. Just bought a MacBook Pro to try some development work, and this video helps Windows users ease into it. Currently on Sonoma, but I didn't see many differences in your tutorial.
Glad to be able to help you switch over and master both - Sonoma was mostly some QOL features and improvements so the core material in this video is pretty solid. Good luck on Mac!
I am an old man, I have Apple II plus when I was a kid. Then I use PC for 30s years. Tonight I will go Apple Store to get refurbished M1pro, my first Mac in my life. Thanks you your content helps me a lot.🎉
Just bought a macbook pro, waiting for it to arrive. Thanks for this great overview. I like that you compared with windows as that's where I'm used to working. Greetings from North Wales UK.
Thank you so much for this! I just got my new Macbook Air today and, after watching your video, am ready to get started. I know after 28 years as an exclusive Windows user there will be a learning curve but I much less apprehensive about it.
May buy a Mac. This was the best most informative video! Definitely a learning curve. I’ve been on a windows PC my whole life. Having an iPad and iPhone already make Mac easier to learn. I’m sure I’ll be watching this video a few times if I purchase the Mac Air 2m. 15”. 16 ram and 1tb storage seems to be the best value.
Hey, good luck with the decision. Buying a new computer is always a big one. They're expensive but they are seriously nice computers, if you're the type that takes care of things, that MacBook Air should take you well into the future. One thing to keep in mind though, if you like Windows, is that Macs with Silicon chips can't run Windows natively (have to use Parallels). There isn't much to do unless you find a good deal on a refurbished Intel Mac but will play into my next computer purchase decision. More info here: ruclips.net/video/yP3DUAzEM9c/видео.html
I happened to see your tutorial on the MAC OS today. Excellent! Thank you. I was a previous MAC user, but not the most current OS. Thanks so much for you had work creating this tutorial. Much appreciated!
I’ve had a Mac mini for a year but I’m still not as comfortable with MacOS as with Windows, so I found a few useful tips here in your video! Thank you! It’s hard to transition in some ways - I’ve been using PCs since the days of MSDOS lol. It would I help if I used my Mac more but I often don’t feel like hanging in my office where it’s located, and I also have a PC gaming setup so I tend to not be on my Mac much at all - but I’m getting a MacBook in a few days so I can use it anywhere in the house and not feel confined to my office all the time!
I just bought a Macbook pro and was worried that the transition from Windows to Mac will be frustrating and difficult. But since i follow your step by step tutorial, the switch has been quite easy. I am still figuring out the Macbook, but I am now more confident with my new laptop. Thank you for making these videos.
@@EsandiKawya I've been programming on my old laptop that costs 300 dollars and that was enough for most of the time. So yeah, M1 is good enough when you're a student. Then, when you'll get a job, you may think about better options but now it's completely okay.
This was so helpful! More helpful than calling AppleCare. This tutorial encouraged me to keep trying to use my new Macbook Pro rather than switching back to a PC. We'll see!
Great tutorial!.. I’ve been a Mac owner and user for a while, I learned quite a bit today from your excellent and through instruction! Now I’ll set up my new Mac so that it’s customized and efficient for me!. Looking forward to the next episode
That's awesome to hear that even experienced Mac learners can learn from this tutorial. I hope the new setup is going well and, don't worry, I have plenty more Mac content coming up!
That's great to hear, there is a lot to learn but once you get to a certain point you can do a lot of self learning by checking out all of the different options, settings and apps available.
I'm a PC user trying to help a friend with her Mac. Your video has been very helpful by comparing how things are done in Windows as compared to IOS. Thank you so much!
You're welcome! I think I already have some videos out that may be what you're looking for: ruclips.net/video/7g-XA4sPxLY/видео.html ruclips.net/video/2auKRCaHAAg/видео.html ruclips.net/video/mNd-GwocG9g/видео.html
Thanks a lot for making this video. You have explain everything to start with MacOs in crisp. Your efforts are very much appreciated. I am benefiting a lot after going through your video.
This is an awesome tutorial of the basics. Last time I used a Mac was during my Postgraduate studies in 1987 and wanted to get back on the wagon of trying it out on a VM. Your clip is a great assistance tool on this journey. Thank you!
So glad I came across your channel. I have been a Windows user for years and I finally decided to add a Mac to my Apple Ecosystem(my Apple Ecosystem is finally complete 😁) I was trying to use my Mac as a windows computer 🤦🏾♀️ Your video is very detailed! Thanks so much 😊
You're very welcome! I'm glad you found it so helpful! I like that it sounds like you're seeing them as both unique instead of just one better than or worse than the other.
Just switched to all Apple products after decades of Windows. Whoa like learning a new language. This was very helpful especially the Finder section and some of the settings. I did like Windows file system and now can customize Mac to operate similarly. Also a few of the settings I couldn't find like the mouse wheel (UGH!) that was annoying. Great job on the video.
This video was a GREAT INTRO to using a Mac OS from a Windows OS vantage point. It helps contemplating the conversion to Mac OS as maybe not such scary thought. I've been using Windows since Windows was literally first invented. I've also done programming in Windows and in DOS - when I was much younger. However, I'm thinking about changing to Mac OS since I need to get a new computer system & printers for my business. Although Windows has some things that really suck, so does Mac. And I'm really good with a Windows OS and doing things many different ways. As a life-long Windows & Android user, this is like visiting a foreign country & trying to speak a very different language and drive on "the wrong side of the road"! But hey, people can change! And people can learn a different culture & a different language - so maybe this crusty old man can too. Only time will tell what I decide to do but this video was a GREAT INTRO to using a Mac OS. Thank you for a great video intro! Keep doing great videos to help us poor, confused Windows OS users who might just convert to the Dark Side.
New Subscriber Here - also a new RUclipsr just over a year. Thank you sooo much. I've been working with Windows all of my life and just started working on my MacBook. OMG originally felt like I was in a maze and couldn't get out, Everytime I would do a what would I do in Windows, wrong and then got frustrated. I came across your video and it was a great intro to the mac world. Thank you it is so appreciated.
I like your tutorial is so easy understand I’m Spanish speaking for my ears is so clear I watched this video as a class I’m keeping washing to learn from you how to speak clear like you Sound crazy but is the truth Thanks you so much.
Great presentation, especially the Finder explanation. The natural scrolling tip really helped, as I thought my Windows mouse wouldn't work on my new MacBook.
I am planning on switching from Microsoft to Apple. You are exceptional in your presentation as I am a pro at windows. Have not used an apple since the apple II Plus. Giving my age away a little. It took away any fears I had at moving to apple and I kind of like it.
Thank you so much. Very high quality: concise, clear, demonstrative, passionate. NOTE: I am new to Mac and the laptop I bought is running Big Sur, but I fount your tutorial incredibly helpful all the same.
Thank you ! this is so helpful. Coming back to mac after a long time on windows wasn't as easy as i thought it would be. And for a moment i thought you were ricky gervais
Around min. 27, it would be nice to get info about, external windows key board and what to do if you are using windows keyboard which does not have “command” key etc..
Excellent Anson, just what I've been looking for. I'm a long time (many years) Windows person wanting to switch to Mac and your video gives me the confidence to jump. Now I need to figure how to convert my chrome bookmarks that I keep on my Windows desktop to be stored and used from a folder(s) in the Mac's Desktop folder. Any ideas? Is there a translator utility to do the job?
I’m 61 and just learning and this is the best and easy way to learn about a Mac computer,thank you so much . I’ve always used windows and just don’t like it 😂 my new Mac 14 inch M1 full load laptop is great !
I’m not sure if I will get use to the Mac since I was a window user for many years. After listening to your video I’m now confident to move forward and give it a shot. Thanks for your input.
Thanks! This was a great starter. I wonder what the difference is between the red and yellow button on the top left, if they both minimize/close the window but don't close the app. I'm curious what any difference would be between using one or the other.
Thank you again for so much information lol I wanted to take off Google Mail from mac I had to do a search to find out if I deleted if I would lose all my information from the main server from Google I learned so much you are the go-to man on the mac thanks, Anson!!! Easy pleasing
coming from 25 years of Windows usage, bought an M3 Air after hearing good things, and trying to learn this sort of alien OS while pulling out the hairs that are left, this video is the best one I will save this for repeat viewing
Same thing. Hopefully will upload new tutorial for latest MacOS😅
So I have used windows before windows with windows and there was IBM & internet dialup I’m now 45. I think I’m bout to buy my first MacBook Pro for music production and DJ. I’m so tired of the compatibility issues with drivers updates and all kind of stuff that sends PCs into a frenzy

You're very welcome! I'm glad the scroll wheel tip helped - I don't know why Apple still keeps it like that by default...
(I'm still watching) Wait what - I can change that! That's amazing.
@@AnsonAlexander Because it base on the screen scrolling of a touch screen device like a phone. I dont liked it at first but my brain have make the switch and it more natural when you think because the trackpad work the same.

I will share this
Thanks a lot for making this video. You have explain everything to start with MacOs in crisp. Your efforts are very much appreciated. I am benefiting a lot after going through your video.
Great video! I found this tutorial very useful, I was a PC user pre-windows OS.
Thanks a ton. I bought my first Mac last week and its a leaner curve. With the tips, it'll be easier for me.
That's great to hear. I hope you're enjoying the new Mac!
Excellent step by step instructions. However, I would like to see you zoom in more on the examples you were giving.
Thank you so much.. I will be a new Mac OS user on Friday, so great to know how to navigate/Customize!

As a long time windows user but new to mac, this was spot on. Very helpful, thank you!

And I'm really good with a Windows OS and doing things many different ways. As a life-long Windows & Android user, this is like visiting a foreign country & trying to speak a very different language and drive on "the wrong side of the road"! But hey, people can change! And people can learn a different culture & a different language - so maybe this crusty old man can too. Only time will tell what I decide to do but this video was a GREAT INTRO to using a Mac OS. Thank you for a great video intro! Keep doing great videos to help us poor, confused Windows OS users who might just convert to the Dark Side.
I'm just a beginner, I have a long way to go; Thank you!
Great tutorial video, I am new to Macs, coming from Windows found your tutorial helpful!
New Subscriber Here - also a new RUclipsr just over a year. Thank you sooo much. I've been working with Windows all of my life and just started working on my MacBook. OMG originally felt like I was in a maze and couldn't get out, Everytime I would do a what would I do in Windows, wrong and then got frustrated. I came across your video and it was a great intro to the mac world. Thank you it is so appreciated.
I like your tutorial is so easy understand
I’m Spanish speaking for my ears is so clear I watched this video as a class I’m keeping washing to learn from you how to speak clear like you
Sound crazy but is the truth
Thanks you so much.
It was very useful. Thanks a lot and good luck.
Awesome, you're welcome, thanks!
Great presentation, especially the Finder explanation. The natural scrolling tip really helped, as I thought my Windows mouse wouldn't work on my new MacBook.
I will returned study your presentation tomorrow, you're a fast thinker, whom I suppose trained well. Thanks
Anson, thanks very much. Super helpful for someone like me moving from windows to mac! Keep up the good work!
Hi, Anson, if you use Keynote everyday, do you have a tutorial video on it. Your instruction and voice are very clear, excellent!
Thanks Lola! I don't yet have a full Keynote tutorial but I will definitely streamline it to the top of my content list!
Thanks! Found this while looking for a good video to help teach someone how to use macOS.
I am planning on switching from Microsoft to Apple. You are exceptional in your presentation as I am a pro at windows. Have not used an apple since the apple II Plus. Giving my age away a little. It took away any fears I had at moving to apple and I kind of like it.
I just learned something new from this video tutorial , short cut to launch spotlight.
I also prefer Google Chrome across all my devices.
Thanks a bunch. I'm a chrome guy too, but apple is a smooth operator.
Yeah, I like to mix and match based on what works best for me.
This is a masterpiece, amazing job my friend. Much gratitude towards you. Keep up the good work. Thank you greatly for this great tutorial.
Thanks a lot, really appreciate it! I'm glad you found it helpful!
Good style. Nice and steady. Clear as well. Thanks !
Thank you so much for this great video, Anson! It was very useful!
Thank you so much. Very high quality: concise, clear, demonstrative, passionate. NOTE: I am new to Mac and the laptop I bought is running Big Sur, but I fount your tutorial incredibly helpful all the same.
That's great to hear, I'm glad it was helpful!
Just do what you need to do thanks
Thank you Anson.. it was helpful video
You're welcome, glad to hear!
Thank you so much, a newbie to mac and this recording made things much less daunting!
Thank you ! this is so helpful. Coming back to mac after a long time on windows wasn't as easy as i thought it would be.
And for a moment i thought you were ricky gervais
You're welcome, good luck on the return to Mac!
Outstanding -- very helpful information and well presented!
Around min. 27, it would be nice to get info about, external windows key board and what to do if you are using windows keyboard which does not have “command” key etc..
Excellent Anson, just what I've been looking for. I'm a long time (many years) Windows person wanting to switch to Mac and your video gives me the confidence to jump. Now I need to figure how to convert my chrome bookmarks that I keep on my Windows desktop to be stored and used from a folder(s) in the Mac's Desktop folder. Any ideas? Is there a translator utility to do the job?
great video, and helpful as a brand new mac user. uboxed my new macbook air today, always been on windows.
Best video so far. This is super helpful!!
Thank you very much for this'! I just ordered a MacBook Air m2 base model and im very excited to get started and leave windows behind me 🎉
Awesome to hear, good luck with the new Mac!
Love the update for Ventura. I watched your previous tutorial video and loved it!
I'm so glad, it was time for an update!
Thanks for a great overview!!!
Thank you! I just bought my first Mac.
That's awesome! You're welcome! Hopefully the video helped in getting you up and running. Have fun with macOS!
I’m 61 and just learning and this is the best and easy way to learn about a Mac computer,thank you so much . I’ve always used windows and just don’t like it 😂 my new Mac 14 inch M1 full load laptop is great !
That's great to hear! It's always good to learn new skills anyways and knowing both Windows and Mac makes you a very powerful computer user. Have fun!
Absolutely fantastic. Very nice introduction for beginners. I can notice it was very well prepared. Thank you a lot!🥰
I’m not sure if I will get use to the Mac since I was a window user for many years. After listening to your video I’m now confident to move forward and give it a shot. Thanks for your input.
So helpful thank you, it makes so much more sense when you compare it to windows (for a windows user anyway)
You're welcome, I'm glad it was helpful! I was hoping that comparison would make it easier!
Thanks! This was a great starter. I wonder what the difference is between the red and yellow button on the top left, if they both minimize/close the window but don't close the app. I'm curious what any difference would be between using one or the other.
You just saved my sanity! Thank you so much!
You're welcome, glad to help!
Thank you again for so much information lol I wanted to take off Google Mail from mac I had to do a search to find out if I deleted if I would lose all my information from the main server from Google I learned so much you are the go-to man on the mac thanks, Anson!!! Easy pleasing
You're welcome, I'm glad to hear it was helpful!
