This is the best computer tutorial on the web by far! David talks slow, does not assume you are a techie and I learned more about setting my new MacBook than with all the other You Tube videos combined and the tech support from my law firm. No one knows a Mac like David and can explain it better. Keep up the good work!
Well done! Thank you. But I missed info about Time Machine, which is the reason I had to go back to a previous system. Apparently, Catalina does not let you to roll back, unless you have a very big external hard drive (instead of the "normal one which worked with previous OS). I still need to investigate that.
More informative than many videos (with the usual dry humour that a 70 year old computer keepupperer appreciates :). Always good to watch while I learn. Thank you indeed.
Do you have a video or suggestion for how to eliminate duplicate photo for Apple photos? I recently imported in a large amount of photos from an external hard drive, and there are many duplicates. Thanks!
OMG!!! Thank you SO MUCH to talk about it (3:06) !!!! I formated my MBP 3 times, 3 TIMES, to delete one of the partitions, thinking that I made some mistakes. But now I know... THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!!!
Hi David I have bought my first MacBook Pro aged 66 and it has been quite a daunting prospect switching from Microsoft after 30 years of Windows! Your guides have been a godsend and I am now really getting to grips with mastering my MacBook. Keep it going as I am relying on you! Peter McG UK
Hi teacher, I love your Mac classes I’m from Boston Massachusetts and I’m your fan, infortily I forget most of the class but I’m keep in trying, thank you so much for your good hart to teaching us about computers for free, God bless you and have a wonderful new year ✌️
Wish I had watched this before downloading Catalina. Not only myself but others have had problems after downloading Catalina with any app to do with photos i.e. Luminar, Photoshop, Lightroom, apps to make photo books etc. Thanks for all the suggestions here.
G'day Dave & your team Thanks for making it possible for me to financially contribute, I've always enjoyed your videos & felt guilty that I couldn't chip in. : ) Cheers from Australia
Thank you so much for the info on Mac OS Catalina. I kept receiving software update notices about this new system and was a little concerned about installing before I first heard your opinion of it. So I went to RUclips, and there you were with all the information I needed to make my decision--to install/or not to install. Per your suggestion, I will not be installing Mac OS Catalina for 2 or 3 more weeks. I absolutely love your videos and I've gotten help with problems and tips about new features. Thank you so much for making these videos available.
Hi Karin, here's a tip: Click on the settings button (lower right of the video viewing screen, looks like a gear with a little red box that says "HD"), select "Playback Speed," and you can speed up / slow down the videos. I use that function all the time. Very handy!
hi. upgraded from imac 2011 to 2017. all fine except one issue. no firewire connection on new imac to connect my flash drive. my flash drive has only a firewire.connection, i think i need a firewire to thunderbolt 3 adaptor. cannot find one . any ideas ?
Please do a tutorial on how to permanently get rid of that U2 album from all iOS devices. Every time I thought I had finally eradicated it, it shortly somehow returns.
i have a mid 2012 McBook Pro now using Mojave - not compatible to upgrade to Big Sur - but would you recommend my upgrading to Catalina after this OS has been out for a few years - or is a more simple Mojave a better option?
Thank you David! Your videos help me to get into my MacBook Pro from Windows. Your courses are awesome! I hope I can see your video about managing photo soon.
@@greeny8214 I figured it out. In the display setting I had to drag the tool bar from my iPad to my display monitor. Thank you for taking the time to offer a suggestion. Appreciate that.
The download time was longer because you were downloading an entire operating system as opposed to just a usual security update/patch. And the relocation folder is just where the installer put the files that aren’t compatible with the current version of macOS. You can go through it and see if there’s anything in there that you might want to keep but It’s safe to delete.
Help!! I have an old iMAC and would like to transfer the photos and videos from it to my new MacBook Air. How can I do that? They are on two different apple accounts so I can’t just save them to the cloud. Thank you
INCREDIBLE VIDEO!!! Am really looking forward to your video on voice control - I know I will find it personally and professional useful on so many levels!
How does your iPod connect’s? How do you move MP3’s and 4’s between your iPod and iPhone since there is no iTunes? Do we still have a blu ray cd disc drive? I’m old school still like to buy media!😁 I read that adobe and office have stability issues especially adobe there saying to uninstall it before you download Catalina.
So, what if all of your devices have been updated and something doesn’t work? My iphone 6, for example, indicates software is up to date at 12.4.2. Reminders has been disabled. My MacBook Pro, a mid-2012 quad core i7 w/ 16 Gs of RAM, does not have a Sidecar icon in its Catalina system preferences folder. My iPad Air 2 is using iPadOS 13. Using the iPad as an 2nd monitor isn’t possible. What is causing the incompatibility?
Any tips on how to get a scanner (SnapScan) work post Catalina download? It was a perfectly good functioning scanner, so easy to use, that the new Catalina has rendered obsolete! Is there a secret download I can use to make it function with Catalina? Fave podcast: How I Built This
Hello, I updated my macbook pro to macOS Catalina and now iTunes is no more since it is now called Music. The issue is that I have my iTunes library on an external hard drive and when I now wanted to add my playlist the macOS Catalina doesn't let me add that playlist because it's from iTunes !!! what I do? please help me to have my playlist on the new MacBook Pro Music, thank you very much
David THANK YOU for another very helpful video. Could you please help with one MAJOR issue I've had after installation of Catalina. I have a Late 2013 Macbook Pro and ~ 60 GB available storage + 8GB RAM. After installing Catalina Photos has slowed down considerably so much so that if I edit even one photo (out of ~100 that I have on it at any time) it slows down my whole system...trackpad gets jerky and slow and all applications, including chrome slow down. Would you know of nay fix for this issue.
As always, another great video. Thanks David. So far, Catalina has worked great on my 5K iMac. The only App I've had problems with is the Chrome browser. After Catalina, I find that Chrome won't access many websites. They simply timeout. My fix.....move to Safari, which works flawlessly. George in FL.
Hi, I need your advice.... I erased my mac and reinstaled it, but I have problems with my mails. I copied mail folder from library and dedicated file from preferences. I pasted both to Library and Preferences folder after I reinstaled mac. The problem is I can not see my old mails.... Can you help please....
Is there finally a way to delete multiple copies of photos?! Also, I have blank thumbnails. Where are my pictures? Any help would be appreciated! Thank you for this video.
Question: is it still worth watching David’s New to Mac: Mojave course if I now have Catalina? I only just bought my first Mac so don’t know my way around it yet
With this new OS, can you confirm whether multiple tabs are coming back to be supported in Finder like previous OS before Mojave? I mean when I close the Finder, it will remember all the tabs opened the next time I relaunch the Finder.
This is the best computer tutorial on the web by far!

Dark mode is the best thing ever. I use dark mode on every single website that allows me to.
SAME!!!! #DARKMODEGANG
chrome://flags -> input "dark" -> enable all (I'm stuck on High Sierra for now, so this works for me)
Great video David.
David your tutorials are the best on youtube 👍
Sidecar is very good. Nice video. Isn’t he good?
nicely explained but does it support sidecar with iPad mini 2013
??
Well done! Thank you. But I missed info about Time Machine, which is the reason I had to go back to a previous system.

Awesome video as always!
Always enjoy and learn from your videos!
Great topic, thank you

Hi there! Can you do this with a 2020 MacBook Pro M1 and an iMac with Catalina?
Hi David
I have bought my first MacBook Pro aged 66 and it has been quite a daunting prospect switching from Microsoft after 30 years of Windows! Your guides have been a godsend and I am now really getting to grips with mastering my MacBook.
Keep it going as I am relying on you!

Nice video David! The unlock with iWatch was already available prior to Catalina though
Incredible educational work thanks 🙏

Really useful and informative as usual. Keep up the good work.
Hey David... Great video, how do you transfer files from the Mac to ipad with Catalina?
wow what a great video
Thank you for all your hard work. I enjoy watching your videos.
I’m new here.. and wanted to ask.. what is that application or software on your dock that looks like an M? It’s blue.
I love the JOFO podcast. Hilarious content.

Cosmic Convos Podcast is amazing!
How do I find and delete duplicate photos? I have learned much from your tutorials.
Great job David :)

Thanks David for your as always precise and on the point videos! You’re by far my fav and trusted tech channel!!
Extremely helpful!
Fabulous!
When is an update coming out to fix the FINDER problem of files not appearing after download?
for some reason side car makes my iPad the main display and my MacBook. air the second one. I cannot find anyway to switch this. Any advice??
go to display and you should be able to switch
@@greeny8214 I figured it out. In the display setting I had to drag the tool bar from my iPad to my display monitor. Thank you for taking the time to offer a suggestion. Appreciate that.
@@davidrobinson8905 Your welcome, personally I prefer Duet but you do have to run that from a lead but it does offer a better screen res
Great !! Always , I love your classes
Thanks David very nice video, just yesterday bought a new iMac and installed Catalina. Had I seen this first might not have done that.
You Da man David.
The download time was longer for this update yet it has less features...also what do we do with the relocation folder?
The download time was longer because you were downloading an entire operating system as opposed to just a usual security update/patch.

Hi David. Is it true that Catalina can only be installed on 2015 and later Macs?
Thanks for all the great content
You are the best presenter, I have come across in RUclips information videos.

Thanks again for the perfect explanation.
Finally! I was so waiting for your video on this :)
Question: is it still worth watching David’s New to Mac: Mojave course if I now have Catalina? I only just bought my first Mac so don’t know my way around it yet
Yeah, the basic idea is still the same
With this new OS, can you confirm whether multiple tabs are coming back to be supported in Finder like previous OS before Mojave? I mean when I close the Finder, it will remember all the tabs opened the next time I relaunch the Finder.
Can you use Sidecar with iPhone S Max and iMac together?
