Command space bar is the most underrated Mac feature ever.

What a great video. As a new Mac user coming from windows, really appreciate the simple and useful information.Thanks Greg

Just got an M2 Air and what a perfect timing of yours dropping this video. Found it extremely helpful. Thanks!

[ninja_boy]

One thing I always do is change "double click window's title bar to minimize" rather than zoom. I minimize far more often than I zoom, so that's one of the first changes I make whenever I get a new Mac.

Super useful, even as a longer time Mac user

Command + Q was like the first shortcut I learned over 30 years ago on my first Mac 😃 Good times!

Just in time for my m2 air coming in a week! Migrating from Windows so thanks for the tip.

[Caersy]

That was great to watch.
Frankly speaking, all the tricks were so amazing, I liked them all and most importantly, the way you were showing them with that great energy made me watch them till the end and while watching I was following your steps doing exactly the same change with my Mac too.
That one for taking photo with iPhone and get them to your Mac really stood out for me.
Amazing
Well done Greg.
Good job
Keep it up
All my thumbs up for you!

Command Q was the one shortcut I remembered from grade school. Good ole apple Q 😂

Great video for first time Mac users! might I suggest an update with the new software, everything has changed as far as the setting location

[Eristocracy]

This is honestly one of the best tech YouTube vids I've seen in my life. Thank you, it helped me so much.

[yarrakamsik]

Aww awesome tips I love you so much 💕🥰💕

[lethor]

Nice tips and tricks, thanks! But it's a bit outdated, as with recent OS the 'Preferences' have been changed into 'Settings' and the whole interface is different. On my Mac I don't get the same interface as you.

[erandiaaa]

omg thank you so much for the effort !! I just got my first MacBook and I didn't know a lot of things.. this video is so helpful! it deserves a lot of views and u deserve more subs !!!

[snaithmusic]

Great video gregg! As always. one thing I would say… when changing folder icons you can just go to “get info” and drag the image over the small folder icon and it will change. Edit, copy, edit paste is not necessary

[ginmartha]

just bought MacBook Air m2 yesterday. I'm a windows people so using MacBook is a bit confusing for me, thankfully I found your video. Thanks!

[wskott]

The continuity features among others. The copy/paste also worked between my iPhone and iPad using the Goodnotes app😊

[Jorrell]

I purchased my fist Mac computer Macbook Air M2, I’m switching from Windows to Mac, and this is very helpful. Thank you so much. 👍🏽

I'm simply in love with this device. I am back to apple Eco system after 8 years of break, and I am so happy that I am back. Apple is simply the best
