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
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.
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!
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.
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.
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 !
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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!
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.
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 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.🎉
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!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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
@@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.
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!
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 !
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.
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.
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.
Great work. I love how you explain things. This has been very helpful. I’m now more confident with the shift from windows to Mac. Continue with the Good work. 👊🏽
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
Thanks! I bought a used Macbook just so I can learn macOS. Prior to this the last time I used Mac was on those old plastic colored Macintosh PCs in college.
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
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.
Hi, I just watched this and 2019 version, they are both very helpful because I just started using MacBook and have been using Windows since like a billion years ago. Thanks for the right-to-the-point tutorials👍 36:36 lmao that's me
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
Thank you great tutorial. I have been a chromebook all google user. Had to switch to a MacBook pro when I changed companies and there was a learning curve for sure. I was not sold on Apple. However l needed a new personal computer and something that could keep up with my business so I decided to get a MacBook pro for myself ... something I swore I would never do. But it is a much better laptop I just loaded the chrome browser and use sheet docs etc. So best if both world. Most helpful was hearing about the apple apps you use and how you use them. Thanks for an honest tutorial!
Very helpful video actuall i shifted from window to apple ios . Now i opened the camera and unable to close the camera struggling for 30mins and here am searching for help in youtube and came across this video
Really great presentation, thank you! I am a long time windows user and I've also used Linux for over 10 years. I don't think we need to say one is better, it's fun using all three
Hi Anson, as a first-time user of a MacBook, I found it very informative but still confusing. Moving over from Windows, although not disregarding it. I needed to see what all the fuss was about. As you mentioned, practising benefits after the brain turns on auto function.
I did learn a few things, but I learned if you could use nothing but iPads this isn’t too hard to figure out. I had to look up how to do screenshots and find the RUclips app. Had to go through Chrome and download it through that. I never would’ve guessed. They need a few more apps.
Thanks for the "refresher". I've not used Apple much since the IIc and I think IIgs. I do have an iBook G4 (PowerPC) that was given to be compile plugins in xCode for some Mac using friends so they could use some plugins I wrote for Linux and Windows versions of TeamSpeak. So, I used PuTTY and FileZilla when using that system way more than the UI. But I've ordered the new MBA 15". Around the 36-minute mark you discussed maximizing windows. The double-click in the title bar you mentioned for Mac has worked in Windows as well for decades. The drag to top feature you mentioned for Windows is a newer feature than the older double click method.
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?
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😅

(I'm still watching) Wait what - I can change that! That's amazing.

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.
Love the update for Ventura. I watched your previous tutorial video and loved it!
I'm so glad, it was time for an update!
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.
Thanks! I bought a used Macbook just so I can learn macOS. Prior to this the last time I used Mac was on those old plastic colored Macintosh PCs in college.
Haha that awesome, welcome back! I'm glad it was helpful!
Excellent step by step instructions. However, I would like to see you zoom in more on the examples you were giving.
Thanks. Good tutorial. Going to get my first macbook in a week. Never used mac os before but somehow cant wait
As a long time windows user but new to mac, this was spot on. Very helpful, thank you!

You're welcome, I'm glad it was helpful!

You're welcome, good luck on the return to Mac!
It was very useful. Thanks a lot and good luck.

Sound crazy but is the truth
Thanks you so much.

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!
Thanks, I'm new to Mac and learned a lot.
Great to hear, you're welcome!
Thanks! Found this while looking for a good video to help teach someone how to use macOS.
Great video, it helped me a lot. Thanks!
Awesome, you're welcome!
Fantastic, everything is clearly explained. Good pace.
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!
Hi, I just watched this and 2019 version, they are both very helpful because I just started using MacBook and have been using Windows since like a billion years ago. Thanks for the right-to-the-point tutorials👍
36:36 lmao that's me
Awesome, I'm glad you found them helpful! Good luck on the Mac!
Absolutely Fantastic... Saved my time.... Thank you very much!!!!
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!
Thank you great tutorial. I have been a chromebook all google user. Had to switch to a MacBook pro when I changed companies and there was a learning curve for sure. I was not sold on Apple. However l needed a new personal computer and something that could keep up with my business so I decided to get a MacBook pro for myself
... something I swore I would never do. But it is a much better laptop I just loaded the chrome browser and use sheet docs etc. So best if both world. Most helpful was hearing about the apple apps you use and how you use them. Thanks for an honest tutorial!
Very helpful video actuall i shifted from window to apple ios .
Now i opened the camera and unable to close the camera struggling for 30mins and here am searching for help in youtube and came across this video
I hope it helped the transition!
Great video! I found this tutorial very useful, I was a PC user pre-windows OS.
Thank you Anson.. it was helpful video
You're welcome, glad to hear!
Love the feature of chapters in the video, I would definitely want to skip around to certain things instead of watching the full video if I got a mac.
Wow, yeah there sure are a lot of them in this video
Yeah, these full tutorials have a lot of content embedded within them.
:D
You just saved my sanity! Thank you so much!
You're welcome, glad to help!
Really great presentation, thank you! I am a long time windows user and I've also used Linux for over 10 years.
I don't think we need to say one is better, it's fun using all three
Great I also one of the bignners of mac after prolong use of Windows.
Good luck switching over!
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!
Hi Anson, as a first-time user of a MacBook, I found it very informative but still confusing. Moving over from Windows, although not disregarding it. I needed to see what all the fuss was about. As you mentioned, practising benefits after the brain turns on auto function.
thanks brother! you made it a lot easier ❤
You're welcome, I'm glad it helped!
I did learn a few things, but I learned if you could use nothing but iPads this isn’t too hard to figure out. I had to look up how to do screenshots and find the RUclips app. Had to go through Chrome and download it through that. I never would’ve guessed. They need a few more apps.
It seems like I was able to help a bit so, glad to hear it! Good luck on Mac!
great video, and helpful as a brand new mac user. uboxed my new macbook air today, always been on windows.
Thank you for the tutorial
You're very welcome, I'm glad it was helpful!
Thank you very much Anson, you earned a sub and like from a macbook novice!
You're welcome, I'm glad it was helpful!
What an excellent tutorial you’ve made!
Thank you!
Thanks for the "refresher". I've not used Apple much since the IIc and I think IIgs. I do have an iBook G4 (PowerPC) that was given to be compile plugins in xCode for some Mac using friends so they could use some plugins I wrote for Linux and Windows versions of TeamSpeak. So, I used PuTTY and FileZilla when using that system way more than the UI. But I've ordered the new MBA 15".
Around the 36-minute mark you discussed maximizing windows. The double-click in the title bar you mentioned for Mac has worked in Windows as well for decades. The drag to top feature you mentioned for Windows is a newer feature than the older double click method.
You're welcome! I'm glad it helped and thanks for the info on maximizing in Windows!
Thank you so much, It was very helpful
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much, a newbie to mac and this recording made things much less daunting!
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?
