That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy... thank you so much for watching. Anything you would like to see me make a video about in the future? And, it's not a big deal, but my name is spelled Dylan.
Thanks for that! I'm trying to showcase the ways I'm using these new tools and features, rather than following a list of all of the available features. There were some that I didn't even mention, like the inclusion of reminders in the new Calendars app... In later videos I'll focus on some of these a little more specifically like the Passwords app and iPhone mirroring. Thanks for watching!
Great again my friend. Your 👕♥️😎. BB HERE. Only you can present these features like that. Simply, passionately and easy to understand. Keep up the great work. Stay safe BB👕😎
I alway look forward to your videos as they are always informative and useful. You have a way of explaining things and the “how to “ that is simple and easy to understand.
@@TheMacWhisperer Yes. sharing between devices. I have various Apple devices that I used to be able to see my photos on all of my devices. Now I can’t. How do you fix this? And another on sharing with a family member who also has Apple. Namely, my husband. Most help videos are not helpful.
If all your devices are on the same Apple ID, you should see your photos on all of them? As far as sharing with other family members, have you created a family share with the two of you? If not, let me know and I will make a video ASAP to walk you through those settings...
Me again, as things randomly pop into my head. In the "no big" but thought I'd ask category, is it at all possible to change the top header of a wallpaper instead of being stuck with the default color? For example, the new Sequoia header is very dark and desirable. But I don't care for the photo.
extraordinary helpful video - I have been holding off before upgrading OS to OS 15/Sequoia but your video gives me all the info I need to take the leap. One question -- do you or does Apple recommend a memory minimum to install Sequoia properly?
So rather than a minimum memory requirement, Apple has a list of all of the computers that can upgrade to Sequoia. In my opinion, any computer with less than 8 GB of RAM is pretty much useless, and anything with more is going to be fully functional on this and most future operating systems. Hopefully you've got at least 8... almost all Macs do these days. Here’s the list of Apple computers that can install Sequoia: everymac.com/mac-answers/macos-15-sequoia-faq/macos-sequoia-macos-15-compatbility-list-system-requirements.html
I really enjoy your videos, but I have come across something I want to do and cant figure a way to do it. I want to add a video to a pdf. Is there any way to do it without buying Adobe. Hope you can help. I’m a teacher. Thanks
I guess I need a little clarity. Are you trying to add a video that will show up in a PDF, or a link to a video in a PDF? Remember, a PDF is not intended to be something that houses videos; it's intended to be something that gets printed out or occasionally downloaded and clicked on. The more you add to it, the more bulky and problematic it becomes. PDF is an acronym with several different definitions, but one of them is "Portable Document Format," so when you add gigabyte-long videos into it, it becomes much less portable and much less of a document. One of the things I've learned in technology over this time is that people are often trying to do things the way they "think" it's supposed to be done... rather than defining their end goal, and finding the proper way to accomplish that. Are you trying to give students a way to see a video and a document side-by-side? Are you trying to have a document that you can email to people? Are you trying to organize things for yourself? Rather than trying to make a PDF into something it isn't intended to be, let me know your end goal, and I will see if there is a better way to solve it. Adding a link to a video is way easier than adding the video itself... Yes, you "CAN" do whatever you want to do with videos and documents and PDFs, and use programs like Adobe to make it happen. But that doesn't mean it's the right way to do it. That PDF you create will be impossible to send to anyone because its size will be bigger than email will allow, defeating the purpose. Give me more info, and I will see if I can guide you in the right direction.
@@TheMacWhisperer thanks for your reply. The videos are actually very small, snippets around 500k-700k. The total size of a pdf that I give the children is max 1.5meg. Its a document that I email the students showing small skills 3-4 secs that need to be used. A link is good idea and I do know how to do that but reading on the Adobe site they can embed a video in a pdf but I dont want to go to the expense of getting Adobe acrobat Pro just to one thing. So I was wondering if a video or even a gyph could be embedded some other way. I have also been experimenting with freeform and then sharing the document but I haven’t found a way to lock down the elements of the document so they can only view and not move anything around.
I'm REALLY on the fence about this. There seems to be several things that would be great about updating, but being into music apps (Luna, plugins, etc) I'm nervous. I don't use Logic right now but I keep hearing you should not update, which makes me wonder about Sequoia and iOS 18. Hehe, even though I'm mostly happy going Mac here a while ago, it's still not perfect and Apple has a nasty habit of breaking things with updates. But it keeps calling me .... "chri-isss, you need to update......you know you want to" LOL.
Apple's not really the problem here. Apple has been the same company for at least the last 20 years. They are constantly updating and pushing technology further and faster. The problem is other companies and plugins that don't stay up to date and current, letting their technology and solutions fall way behind and forcing their users to hold on to old operating systems that have security holes and other problems, rather than always keeping their stuff up to date. This is especially problematic when you deal with music or video apps and plugins, which are notorious for charging tons of money and then not updating along the way. Do we blame the company that is continuing to do what they've done for 20 years and stay on top of the cutting edge of technology, or do we blame the company who charges money for a solution and then doesn't keep it up to date? Unfortunately, we need things to move forward, and unfortunately, some companies don't like to keep their things current. I understand the struggle... the struggle is real.
Well, I did it anyways (blush) So far so good, but I am having slight issues with my Lift mouse. One thing that is really welcome is now the ability to use the mouse/back/forth buttons in the finder/etc. Really drove me nuts not having that!
I hear you. If we look at the last 5-6 major Apple software updates, there are enhancements and upgrades to specific tools, but nothing unbelievably innovative or life-altering. Which begs the question... If you were creating a new operating system for your Mac, what would you put into it to make it more innovative? I think there are some amazing tools here that can help things out a lot, even if they're not revolutionary. As much as I initially didn't think much of it, I have found the iPhone mirroring tool to be way more useful than I ever expected. So sometimes the best features are hidden or unimpressive... until you really start to use them.
@@TheMacWhisperer True. It’s the belly of the beast that you have to pay attention to. Microsoft were the first to index your files using the binary search technique. Apple have taken it much further as you can tell when you use the Mac search tool (Spotlight). It’s a double-edged sword that Apple can also use supposedly for CCSAM.
