I almost agree with everything. A few things I always do, because I want faster!!! 1. Remove the recently used from the dock, there is a setting for that. No manual cleanup. 2. Remove the delay on dock show and double the speed. Can be done easyly in terminal. 3. Enable 3 finger drag in Accessibility. Along with the two finger functions, you never need to click the trackpad and have very fluid and fast control, with minimal requirements to lift. 4. Use 4 finger spread to show desktop instead of that new click option 😃 5. Enable ctrl+two finger scroll to zoom Thanks for the video btw. Very useful 👍
Thank you for these. I've been using Mac for a long time and you taught me a couple things I never knew. I particularly like the ability to put the folders on top!
Thanks a million, I'm so rusty on Mac studio and so frustrated to their initial setting. Apple must use your setting as a default, everything is make more sense !! ;)
My preferences are different from yours. I don't use Stage Manager. To show my Desktop I just swipe over to a new Desktop in Spaces. Auto switch from light to dark so I don't lose track of time (and I like it) and don't hide the Dock because I like to be able to see it before it pops back up. I'm using the Ventura California poppy because I like it, especially the matching screen saver. I turned off the Control-Space for Spotlight because I found I tended to hit it accidentally. Spotlight is useless to me because It always brings up way too many irrelevant matches. Turning off a few won't help the problem. I set Option-Shift to Launchpad because that search is ideal for looking for an application. I also set my windows to show the full path because I've found that more useful than not.
Yes , that is a bit different. I use spotlight and command tab instead of most of the features you mentioned. I also showed how to stop Spotlight from bringing up as many irrelevant results. I don’t use stage manager very often but did for the recording. Hope you learned something useful!
Yes, I definitely have show full path turned on. Before Mac OSX had that option, and yes, it was in the days of OSX, there were some utilities that people had written to turn on that ‘feature’. I think that it’s a necessity, not just a feature, but maybe I’m in the minority. I never thought about how they could have turned it on until now. Would it be done with a command in Terminal, or what?
after looking through your posted vids, I dont see on on printers. I was wondering about the Brother printer and Apple's restrictions making the print dialog ... well very basic. The options for color and binding side are gone from Apple's print dialog. The printer manfgrs dont seem to care enough to make a decent print app. I wonder if there is some work around for that.
Haha glad you like them but, honestly, they’re just from a collection of wallpapers I’ve downloaded from different sources over the years so I don’t remember exactly where I got those ones.
I have been having an issue with trying to do a fresh install on an old Mac Book Pro(It has MAC OS X Lion) that a friend gave to me(it wouldn't boot up). She just wanted her photos pulled off of the drive. I don't own another MAC(PC only over here..lol). I want to use the MAC but was wondering if there was a way to make an OpenCore Legacy Patcher USB from a PC?
@@AnsonAlexander Tired 3 different OS and came up short on all three. So I said the hell with MAC OS and went Ubuntu. Installed without any issue. So I will just stay with that. Thanks for the reply.
Question of the century! HOW DO I TURN OFF WINDOW TIILNG? I drag a window out of the way, and it snaps open blue rectangle, then fills that rectangle with the damnable window I'm just trying to move. WORST FEATURE EVER.

Sounds snappy! You're welcome, glad you enjoyed!
AMazing ! How can we do this " Remove the delay on dock show and double the speed. Can be done easyly in terminal"
@@KeremKrm-p3uJust do a Google search for “MacOS dock delay remove” You’ll get articles with several terminal commands to change the dock behavior 👍
My early 2015 MacBook Pro is now running on Sonoma like it was built for it. Thanks so much for sharing.
That’s awesome to hear! Glad it worked out!
How is this possible? Show link. It only goes to Monterey 12.7.6

That’s great to hear! Always new tricks to learn in macOS!

You're welcome, glad to hear it helped and you're finding it more intuitive!
Thank you so much. Do you have any tips to speed it up?

Hi Alexander,
Where could I get the wallpapers that you have on the iMac shown in the video.
Thank you and best regards.

Hey Anson, I was just curious about where did you find that custom cursor thing where it makes an animation every time you click
after i follow your customization advice suddenly my wifi connection gone what should i do?
My mac is 2016 and my screen got black after install and brightness bar cant use how to solve this problem ?
after turning on dark mode, the area above where it has the apple logo stays in Gray. how to make it dark same as older versions?
I'm not sure if there is currently a way to do it without using terminal...
@@AnsonAlexander Honestly, I've done it. I dont know how. I kept on fiddling around in the system preferences lol

Not that I know of but why don't you just install it using Lion on that machine?

i’ve installed ios sonoma on my mac 2014 it’s acting slow takes about 10 seconds to open apps is this normal?
Make sure you go into the OpenCore Legacy Patcher application and run the post-install patches option. Then restart and it should run more smoothly.
hi alex
what the name of app
you use mouse pointer
It is from my screen recording software called ScreenFlow. I don’t actually see it on the screen, it’s added in post production video editing.
