I am SO freaking happy they finally fixed the Airpods auto switch feature. It was driving me crazy on my macbook air, and the fact that it would suggest switching, but not do it automatically even though I have the setting switched was even more infuriating.
thx for sharing, liked safari profiles and convert website into a doc., also the fix of Airpods auto-switching and finally sharing gadgets with iPhone and putting them on desktop
Great video Greg! I was actually googling yesterday why my AirPods don't auto-connect to my Mac so I'm happy to see they've fixed this! Also enabled Stage Manager as I completely forgot about this feature. Excited about the new lock-screen animations too and I wonder if I can add my own? Updating as we speak so I'll have a look.
Movies I purchased years ago which are available to me on Apple TV+ have improved greatly in quality. Currently outputting HDMI from Macbook M2 Pro to Samsung Q90b TV. Prior to this upgrade, many purchased videos were extremely grainy and outright unacceptable. Yet my 4k Apple TV box (not Apple TV+) were considerably better which was confusing.
Ok ik this is a video abt Macs but i have a question, im a regular iphone user, not a content creator nor an influencer but i want to get the iphone 15 pm, is it a bad idea 😭
great and amazing video. I have a question, can you put the menu bar "traslucent"? in previous macos you can srt that (or disactivate). Thanks, amazing video
guaranteed..the wallpaper feature will be turned off after a few weeks. Windows vista had live wallpapers and desktop widgets in 2006...gotta love apple for reinventing the wheel.
My MacBook goes into sleep mode in 30 seconds after I turn on my Lock Screen. What should I do? I just don’t want my MacBook to turn off my screen… I already tried all settings in “Lock Screen settings”.
I am using an M1 Macbook. I am not sure if It is advisable for me to update now? I worry that it will slow down my MacBook ;P So if you are M1 MacBook user, I would appreciate if you can share your thoughts.
Is it a 12gig download? Is it worth it for this stuff. I'm deciding whether to go back to Windows, because they care enough about compatibility with my older programs.
as soon as I go to the lock screen of my mac, it turns off immediately after like 5 seconds, i have set the screen off time to never in system settings under lock screen, still the issue is not fixed. Can someone explain me what's going on here?
Is there any way to disable the date/time on the lock screen and get the login box back to the middle where it belongs? Hiding it down at the bottom of the screen is a giant pain in the arse.
Thanks for the tour. I’m still stuck on Catalina OS… I just can’t justify upgrading my 2014 27” iMac to a 24” iMac. It seems too much like a downgrade - can’t run my older software and a smaller screen.
@@nathanheath3756 I’ve been thinking of doing just that, thanks for the advice. I’ve been also playing around with Linux Manjaro which even running off an external USB SATA SSD works surprisingly well.
hey Greg, appreciate this video. it was a big help. but perhaps you can help me with something else??? I have always taken screen shots and saved them to my desktop. I also export certain web pages to my desktop. problem is now they are not saving to my desktop???? idk 🤷♀ where they are. Ive checked in finder, and cannot find them in there either??? perhaps you can help???
You should be able to find out where your screenshots are set to save somewhere in the Settings app. I would search the settings app for “screenshots”, or do a google search.
Enjoyable video… but… its that really an advanced game? The graphics look very basic to me! Apple’s presentation had a Japanese games that looked like it was pushing the computer, this one here that you’ve shown looks like an Atari game! What am I missing?
after first boot after upgrade it wont let you login unless enable icloud. you can turn it off after you login but get annoying ERROR pop like its good idea turn icloud on LOL they want your files
Hey is their any bug in new update like I am getting animation on screen lock that is when it is timed out but when I start on cold boot the lock screen appear at that time I am not getting any animation , also I have turn off the battery saver option ,any solution guys ??
I think what you’re referring to is that on MacBooks with notches, the status bar height matches the height of the notch, making it bigger than on other macs.
The actual version of Sonoma is NOT available yet. Only the Beta version is, and I learned the hard way there is a reason it's called a beta. Not done yet. I do enjoy your channel.
@@peteralmeyda4211 it moves everything to the right. I want folders at places where I want them to be. I used clean up to properly arrange them. How can I do it now?
@@Flipitos oh my bad I thought you meant to categorize them. What if you select all folders and documents you want organized and then try right clicking and pressing clean up
@@peteralmeyda4211 it has clean up section. But it forced to setup folders by name, size, etc. it used to have simply clean up and stood in their place, but where I want them to stay…
These features are pretty nice, apple is really trying to pull me into their ecosystem. Honestly may as well, only thing I won’t ever go to Apple for is a desktop computer. I don’t need a laptop for gaming and if I do I guess I can just play a simple game like minecraft etc. I hate how well apple makes everything work together, but then they lock you in once you’re fully in. Why would you ever get something else as everything just syncs together perfectly. It’s why I’m so hesitant to switch, cos if I ever do want something else not from apple it won’t work well with my other apple products that I spent so much on. I do like what they do, but there’s also lots of things that I dislike with how they run things and anti-consumer practices etc, price and how they’re in their own little bubble (world). I’ve got an iPad mini 6, want the iPhone 15 pro max and watch, also the headset when it gets usb c and may as well eventually get a MacBook down the line. Then they’ve got me, just like that. It’s just annoying knowing that it’s happening, but the products are good.
Sonoma just got gaming mode. You won't pull 240 fps but you can officially game on Mac and get more than 20 fps. I made the full switch to a Mac mini with more ram and memory and have had no issues playing certain games so far.
@peepohappy69 *I do like what they do, but there’s also lots of things that I dislike with how they run things and anti-consumer practices etc, price and how they’re in their own little bubble (world).* Wow, are you done?
I want to have an iphone 15 pro cause I want to experience the next level gaming performance it has, the new action button, as well as the newly improved camera and of course, the usb-c port everybody is raving about! I’ve been using an Iphone XR all this time, I think it’s about time to upgrade for a change. 😅 #GREGSGADGETSGIVEAWAY

Can you add timestamps?

It’s insane how many creators straight up ignore this very useful feature 😒
To be specific the “Chapters” feature

How to delete downloaded wallpapers? these are huge in size. kindly, help!

Any way to download them all instead of clicking one by one?
Need that Broodwar installer Greg!
Great video. What app gives you the widget with the Carbs, Fat, Protein?
It would be nice if we had a music widget
After updating to new update sonama ...some of apps start lagging like chorme and Spotify pages are u facing same issue????.or this is just a bug?
Hey Greg great video as always. Do you happen to know how this performs on Intel mbp? Base models? I’m still stuck with Monterrey. 😂😅
Happy Birthday to your Mom (belated)
I’ll let her know
I wonder how the AirPods feature would fit with Apple TV
I really liked SC1.
My MacBook goes into sleep mode in 30 seconds after I turn on my Lock Screen. What should I do? I just don’t want my MacBook to turn off my screen… I already tried all settings in “Lock Screen settings”.
why can't I choose my iPhone in the widget menu. Use iPhone widgets is already turned on

How can I disable the clock lock screen and bring my "Profile Picture, Touch ID and Enter Password" in the middle just like in Ventura?
Thanks for saving me 100’s of dollars!!
The majority of people using the privacy tab on Safari, probably aren’t looking for engagement rings, if you know what I mean

Is there any good way to organize or use finder? I can't get used to it.

Still Problem with mini: no restart After Power Interruption?
Dude's hair got waves like OS X Mavericks
looks like my Mac doesn't recognise my iPhone for the widget feature. Disappointing cos I want the bible app and dictionary widgets on my Mac
how to hide widget in one click? (i have the hidden me- app) but at the moment have option only for icons.
I don't have some the items he listed like "People and Pets". Mine still says "People". There are others too. Why??

hi i wanna know why my iPhones widgets dont appear in the widget desktop eh?
Thanks. How did you make the widget on your desktop folder?
Yeah! Apple catching up.
Is it just me or sonoma feels less snappy and smooth? I upgraded from Monterey to Sonoma and find Monterey to be much snappier.

How did you put Vegeta as your custom folder? I need one of BROLY!
How do you increase the size/height of your menu bar? Yours is slightly bigger than normal
I think what you’re referring to is that on MacBooks with notches, the status bar height matches the height of the notch, making it bigger than on other macs.
There is wallpaper and screensaver BuG!!!
Hi Greg SO sad that apple removed "Start Up, Shut Down or Restart": any hints/ideas/suggestions/ ... boo hoo
and its has secury holes u see update soon. it never holeless
Anyone else here while they’re waiting for Sonoma to install?
I wish I had locked private browsing for when my wife caught me looking at "engagement rings" would've avoided that awkward conversation entirely.
How did you get the Vegeta folder icon?
Game mode might be cringe if ya like to do stuff on the side. Like a video on a 2nd window or something
