      @@Abhilashbbb True, but it was only added in Windows 10. In Windows 7, the instructions looked like this:
      1. Go to your device manager and find your device (your mouse or trackpad)

    Natural scrolling makes sense for touch and track pad; but, it does NOT make sense for a mouse.

    • @EverydayApple1984
      @EverydayApple1984  6 лет назад +7

      I know a lot of people feel that way about it. I was training a guy at work on the new Mac they gave him and the idea of natural scrolling on his mouse put his head on tilt (he's been a Windows-only user up to this point).

    • @ijslandernl
      @ijslandernl 5 лет назад +20

      The moment Apple introduced natural scrolling I immediately started using it and adapted to it. For the Trackpad this really is a way more natural way of scrolling and I couldn't go back to the old way of scrolling. I always use the Trackpad, but I think using natural scrolling for a mouse is strange.
      I think it's really strange natural scrolling can't be adjusted independently for mouse and Trackpad. When you go to System Preferences and disable natural scrolling for mice it's also turned off for the Trackpad. Both the setting for natural scrolling in the Mouse pane as the one in the Trackpad pane are just linked to the same natural scrolling setting. They should be independent of each other, so there should be a separate setting for each input device.

    • @EverydayApple1984
      @EverydayApple1984  5 лет назад +4

      ijslandernl I do see the case for having separate settings there. We also have to remember that Apple is thinking about their own Magic Mouse when setting up natural scrolling. With Apple’s mouse natural scrolling feels great to me but with a regular scroll wheel it is a bit different.

      They are both fine options, but prefer 1Password because it creates stronger suggested passwords but you can use keychain by creating your own strong passwords (use upper/small case letters, numbers and symbols), then you can choose to save them with iCloud. But an advantage with 1password is that it will inform you when there is been a vulnerability so you know to change your password when that happens. That's incredibly helpful when you have you have many different passwords, as I do.

      Kalpesh Panchal that accept for number 4. Unless you are planning to spend a lot of time on websites that are not secure, free WiFi is just fine and VPN’s are a waste of money. Unless you want to protect your metadata from your provider or want to illegally watch things that are not available in your country. And even then it’s still the question if or when the VPN gets hacked and if your comfortable to intrust some random VPN employees with your data. I mean, I am not an expert on this kind of stuff by any means, but this is just what I’ve read and heard from people who know a lot more about this then I do.

    Scrolling is a matter of perspective. You can either think you’re pulling the top of the page, or think you’re pushing the bottom. You can’t say one is more natural than the other. But in Mac, the fingers move in the same direction as the page.

      @EverydayApple1984  6 лет назад +1

      saikat93ify Yes, that’s right. Of course Apple will refer to it as the more “natural” way to do it, but you’re either pulling the page (like in iOS) or pulling down the scroll bar on the side of the screen.

    thanks, just one question. why do you need a password manager when mac creates strong passwords automatically and keychain fills in passwords?

    • @EverydayApple1984
      @EverydayApple1984  4 года назад

      They are both fine options, but I prefer 1Password because it creates stronger suggested passwords. If you want, you can use keychain by creating your own strong passwords (use upper/small case letters, numbers and symbols), then you can choose to save them with iCloud. But an advantage with 1Password is that it will inform you when there is been a vulnerability so you know to change your password when that happens. 1Password is just the next level of password management (I've been using 1Password for many years now)

    So there’s a program called mega that opens which is not shown in the video. It has a max limit of what can be downloaded and you have to wait for 6 hrs to complete the download. I’m not sure if that’s for everyone now or just because I apparently downloaded the main file twice it put me over a limit. They do work as per the video but some may have to wait 5 mins for them to do so. For some reason mine took a bit to recognize the serializer to actually open. I’m on an old Mac (early 2011) though that I figured out how to install Catalina. That might be why.

  • @catboy721
    @catboy721 6 лет назад +6

    Hi -- couple of observations. VPN's cause a lot of sites to fail or not authenticate. You can't log into PayPal, for example, or sites that use cookies to 'trust' a particular computer. A lot of sites that you store in 1Password or LastPass won't behave normally either -- needs to be used judiciously. Same general observation for password management. Increasingly a lot of sites separate the screens for UserID and Password, or the password manager doesn't recognize the fields or loses focus.... have to use THIS tip judiciously, as well.
    In terms of other tips, I'd recommend BOTH a Time Machine and a cloned backup.... makes restoration a breeze. I think you could update this video or add some additional tips around moving from one mac to another (migration assistant, re-installations, etc... Thx.

    • @EverydayApple1984
      @EverydayApple1984  6 лет назад +1

      Great feedback and suggestion. I'll add migration to my idea board (maybe I should buy a new MacBook so I can do such a video heh heh heh). You are right that VPN can cause the occasional issue, depending on what site you are at, but my experience is still good at most sites (I just logged into PayPal to test it and I was able to log in... I'm sure results could vary though). As far as 1Password goes, it does a dang good job of handling those separate user/pass screens... But again, there is the occasional hiccup.

    • @EverydayApple1984
      @EverydayApple1984  5 лет назад

      eline mars VPN encrypts the data you are sending and receiving on whatever computer you’re using (windows or Mac) so others-such as your ISP or someone snooping on a public Wi-Fi network you’re using-can’t read it. The ability of VPNs to protect your privacy are all the more relevant considering that your ISP can now legally record your web activity and sell your history to advertisers and other organizations that want to know something about you. Privacy is a huge issue.

      They are similar and both good options at this point. I prefer 1Password because it creates stronger passwords for me but you can use keychain by creating your own strong passwords (use upper/small case letters, numbers and symbols) and then you can choose to save them with iCloud. Another advantage with 1password is that it will inform you when there is been a vulnerability so you know to change your password when that happens. That's incredibly helpful when you have you have as many different passwords as I do.

    I'm a Windows user but there are 2 things I love on Mac: First (changing the cmd and ctr keys first) and being able to change from desktops with cmd 1-2-3-... and second being able to hide the dock just with a shortcut.

    1 password has the equivalent in Apple , I use keychain, it’s integrated in the Apple ID , when I’m creating new accounts it gives me suggestions , and when I have to log in I only need my fingerprint, it’s fun easy and already there :))

      lori Lori 1Password has a lot more functionality, but as of 2019, keychain is competent enough to save your passwords and retrieve them with ID method. I still prefer 1Password because it creates stronger passwords for me but you can create your own strong password (use upper/small case letters, numbers and symbols) and then save them with iCloud, so that's a fine option too.

    Finally a video that actually helps 😂 I finally coughed up the money to buy myself a MacBook for college, and I’ve been searching RUclips for a video of what applications I should have, and what I should do with the MacBook. No one has mentioned hot corners yet! They’re just primarily photo editing applications and 1password. So thank you!!

    unlocking with apple watch?

    • @EverydayApple1984
      @EverydayApple1984  5 лет назад

      Yep! Just go to your System Preferences and click on Security & Privacy. There is a checkbox there for unlocking with your Apple Watch. So instead of typing in your password, it just looks for your Apple Watch in close proximity and then unlocks.
