Just got a new MacBook Pro and first time to the Touch Bar, was a bit overwhelming, but this video couldn’t be more helpful-super clear, to the point, and covers all the main bases. I feel so up to speed now!
Well presented Gary! You are most definitely thee GO TO Guy when it comes to all things Mac! Thanks for all you do - especially to those of us that have switched to Mac after retirement and a working world wasted in Windows.
Having spent 42 years working on IBM and Microsoft platforms (wiring boards, punched cards and evolving to DASD and then the MS PC world) finally moving to Apple after retirement, I am amazed at how intuitive, user-friendly, and innovative the OS (iMac, MacBook, iPhone, iPad) are compared to the memorization of the career’s requirements (of course, programming languages not withstanding). If Apple’s business model had also included competing with price, there is no telling what the business/personal landscape would appear now. Bottom line: Glad I made the switch.
Thank-you, finally found a video showing the potential of the Touch Bar. Just got the M1 MBP and love this feature. Don't know why the critics dislike this feature...maybe they haven't seen your tutorials.
I must have searched every google page and finally stumbled across what I needed. Thank you, I did something to my touch bar and did not know how to reset or fix it. Your video was very helpful!
I never got a Touch Bar Mac, because I heard it was horrible! I’ve been playing with the Touch Bar on my iPad with the extended display, and I love it! I wanna get a second MacBook just for the Touch Bar. I kind of wish Apple could just sell a peripheral of just the Touch Bar, or I wish Applewood enable the Touch Bar on the iPad when connected to the Magic Keyboard.
I hope Apple will make a touch-bar for the iMac keyboards in the future... I read an article on some Dutch website. They said that Apple is working on a Wireless Magic keyboard with a touchbar. They have to deal with issues like battery life. Well, I would have my lightning cable ready. A touchbar just seems awesome. One downside is that there are no buttons I can feel. But the combustibility of the touchbar is a huge pro
Hey, I have a problem. The control strip is located right above the backspace button. I'd like to keep using it as it's very handy, but I keep accidentally pressing the button over backspace. Is there a way to move the whole thing slightly to the left?
There may be system extensions that you can use to make a change like that, but I don't know of one. I'd advise to try to work with it and you'll eventually train yourself to avoid the mistake.
Wow! Wombats are amazing! Much respect for their flying abilities. I had to go back and make sure I read that correctly. And I thought Marsupials were not highly evolved....... I really like the Touch Bar but I know they get a bad rap. Mine has worked well for me and I enjoy the interface with Photoshop. Another great video macmost!
Can someone please explain to me how to use the media control buttons (Rewind, Play/Pause-Fast, Forward) when watching on Apple TV on the MacBook Pro? I am trying to watch in double speed. When I gently press on the FF button it does so, but when I remove my finger it continues in normal speed. How can I change the playback speed w/out having to keep my finger on the button?
Stupid question. What are you doing to modify the touch bar? Are you using a mouse or mouse pad, or are you physically touching the touch bar with your finger?
Thanks Gary! I've had a MBP w/TB for a couple years now and always thought of it as a gimmick. I'm going to try and use your tips to get more use out of it. 😀

Great job, Gary. Probably the most important point is "practice, practice, practice." Were you a wanna-be music teacher? (just joking) Overall it was important that you mentioned the customizability of the Touch Bar, especially the default/adding/removing.

This is probably the only video on youtube that has zero dislikes because Gary is awesome.
Jinxed him init!
@@larrybethune3909 yes they are just foolish! This is Golden
Had my MacBook Pro for almost a year and am finally learning how to use the touch bar! This is a great video for that, thanks!

I will watch this a few times, all new to me. Thanks 😊

Thank you for your efforts. I just want the typing suggestions to work on MS Word and PowerPoint? Can you please help with this issue?
Is Word not using this feature? Maybe Word has its own system?
I need to know something about touchbar. I install pock now I don't know how to use and I facing some problem.
thank you so much for this!!!

Finally a way to understand my new MBPro Touch Bar-many thanks to you.

You are too good
Thanks for sharing
Stupid question. What are you doing to modify the touch bar? Are you using a mouse or mouse pad, or are you physically touching the touch bar with your finger?
Using the Trackpad, mostly. You need to access things on the main screen and drag them. Try it.
Thanks Gary! I've had a MBP w/TB for a couple years now and always thought of it as a gimmick. I'm going to try and use your tips to get more use out of it. 😀
Brilliant, thank you!
This came out on my birthday
Hey, how did you get your touch bar to show on the main screen and be able to use it with your mouse? My touch bar has malfunctioned and i cant use it

@@macmost Thanks
Hey Gary have you heard of the application called bettertouchtool for the touch bar on the new MacBook Pro 13?
Yes.
Definitely subscribe ❤.
It was kinda useful for me thx.
7:18 made me laugh way too much
I have iMac, while using sidercar. Touch Bar was showing in my iPad. I don't know how to use that please make an video on that bro.
It works just like a regular Touch Bar. Same things as I show here. A little bonus to using Sidecar.
@@macmost its showing but I don't know how to use. in my iPad
When the Touch Bar starts flashing like a strobe light what do I do?
Call Apple Support.

Hey Gary, can I use my Macbook Air while it is charging or does it damage the battery?
Arsalan Khan it doesn’t damage the battery, google about charge cycle on Mac and you will know everything.
Rustless_ Turf Oh K. Thank you 🙏
hi gary, thank you
Be great if they made a touch bar keyboard for a desktop Mac.
It would be tough for battery reasons.
after seeing this i will opt for the pro MacBook
I'm going to have to find out what folks don't like the touch bar.
Great job, Gary. Probably the most important point is "practice, practice, practice." Were you a wanna-be music teacher? (just joking) Overall it was important that you mentioned the customizability of the Touch Bar, especially the default/adding/removing.
Not an improvement for most users, just another complication. This stopped me ordering a new MacBook
