Who doesn't like to have a beautiful Mac and when you open it, it dominates the entire Mac OS? That is, you dominate your machine and not the machine dominates you. Isn't that what you want?
I'm sure it is. So, after the vignette, I'm going to give you killer tips for you to dominate the Mac OS and still explode in productivity. Having a Mac is really cool.
You get to the office, you get to the coworking, you take it out of your backpack, you open it, the apple is there. But what about the time you access the Mac OS? Lock everything?
So this video is for you, because in it I'm going to give you simple but killer tips for you to dominate the Mac OS. Making a video like this is hard work. So go down here and like it.
So YouTube also knows that this content is relevant and will show it to other people. And also, if you are not yet a subscriber to the channel, sign up now. Click here below, sign up and then click on the bell to receive notification every time I put a new video here.
And now let's go to the screen of my Mac, see all these tips. Stay until the end of this video so you don't miss any of them. The first tip I'm going to give you is this.
You are here with the Finder open. I go here in my movies folder. See, I have two movies here that are from the channel, including, for me to access.
If I double click on it, it will open the video. But I'm going to give a Command I. Command I brings the file information.
So it's really cool for you to get used to and save all the keyboard shortcuts. Because the Mac OS works really well with keyboard And you get much more productive knowing them. So I'm here in the file, which is the video.
If I come here to open with, you see, it will open for me by default on the Apple TV. That is, on the TV app. And I don't want to open this video on the TV app.
I want to open it on QuickTime. I can select QuickTime here and change everything. What does that mean?
Every time I click on a M4V video, from then on, it will open directly on QuickTime. You are standardizing, talking to the system. You want it to open this type of M4V file, which is video.
Always on QuickTime. This is really cool. I'm not going to do this now.
Another tip here is this. If I right click on this file. Open with.
See, the default is Apple TV. And there's QuickTime here. If I click on the Option key.
See, it changed here. Always open with. So if I click on QuickTime now.
This file will always open with QuickTime. Look, I'm going to click here. Look, it opened with QuickTime.
If I close and open again. It will always open with QuickTime. This is a way for me to do this individually.
If I go to the other file here. And right click. See that this one has the TV default.
Because I changed only the previous one. That's why I showed you on Command-I that we can change everything. And then, by default, all files will look like this.
Now, I'm going to give you some tips on Finder. I have the Finder window open here. In the Films folder that we were seeing in the videos.
There are two tips here. First, you will see and put a status bar. That is, this bar will appear down here.
It gives you the amount of items in the folder you are in. And the amount of space available in your HD. In your SSD, in your MacBook.
This is really cool. Because you can follow the available space of your MacBook here. So, in any folder that I click here now.
See, it changes the items. But the available space is always the same. If you click somewhere else.
For example, if you have a broken external HD. A SD card. You will see there, when you click on it.
The available space on that device. Another cool thing here to see. Is to show the path bar.
Look. Down here, it's showing us. The path bar of this folder that I clicked.
If I go to Films. See, it's showing Films now. And if I click here, for example, TV.
It will evolve the path here. So, I can click on Applications, for example. It was there.
Macintosh HD Applications. Documents. See.
It's inside the User. Vlog Tech. Documents.
And you can navigate around here. Which is cool. You can click on Vlog Tech and go back to a folder.
You can click here. The right button. You see?
Open a new tab. You can, here inside the Finder itself. Open a new tab for Vlog Tech.
And here, for example. You can enter Documents, for example. Look.
You have two tabs now. In different locations. Documents.
And Vlog Tech. Another tip inside the Finder. Is the following.
You can see here in Finder. Adjustments. So, here.
We can adjust some things. To work better. And improve our productivity.
Inside the Finder. For example. I clicked this here.
It comes as a default. Open folders in tabs. Instead of windows.
If I'm here in this folder. And I click here on Public. You see?
The Finder will open inside the tab. It will always open in tab. Instead of opening a new window.
Of course. You can. If you want to.
Click with Command. On top of this public folder. Look.
It opened a new tab. You can open tabs. As many as you want.
Click here on Music. For example. I clicked with the Option button.
Pressed. And here it came to Music. And you can close the tabs.
Here. Quietly. Another cool thing here.
It's like this. New Finder window. Show Vlog Tech.
I defined this. You can. For example.
Here. Define documents. So.
I'll close. I'll close here. Every time you open a new window.
Finder. Command N. That thing.
The keyboard shortcut. Command N. I opened a new window.
Finder here. See. It came inside Documents.
So. I defined here. In the Finder settings.
Always open in Documents. I use. Always open in my user.
So. See. I'll close again.
Open a new window. Always in Vlog Tech. And I already have access here.
To all my folders. Within my user. Another thing here.
Within the Finder settings. That's cool. It's here.
Sidebar. In the sidebar. Which is this one.
You can define. What do you want to appear there. So.
You can take everything. That you don't use. For example.
Ah. I don't want to see applications. The AirDrp.
I use. It's important to me. So.
I leave it here. Okay. Down here.
I don't want AirCloud Drve. I don't want to know. What is shared folders.
But. You can also leave it. Enabled.
Here in the Finder. In the Finder window. So.
Here. Everything that is enabled here. You can define.
Or not. What you want. And lastly.
Here in Advanced. You have a very cool option. Which is like this.
When doing a search. Search in the current folder. By default.
Mac. It comes here. Search on your Mac.
Only. I find it more interesting. Leave.
Search in the current folder. Why? When I'm here.
For example. Inside the folder. Images.
If I come here. Search. See.
It will search. Inside the folder. Images.
Only. That is. It is filtering inside this folder.
Of course. If I want to search the whole Mac. I come here.
This Mac. And then it will search for us. See.
Everything that has the AFR. It's bringing it to us. But.
I find it much more practical. This is an automatic thing. It filters.
Inside the folder I'm in. A cool tip. Inside the Finder.
It's the following. Let's suppose. I want to drag this.
Image. Here. Inside the folder.
Documents. If I drag here. See.
It's taking other folders. Inside the documents. And then.
It will drag inside this folder. And that's not what I want. So.
I drag out of them. Hold a little. See.
He brought the folder. Documents. Forward.
Then I drag here. See. So.
I played right. Inside the documents. A cool tip here too.
Speaking of Doc. Now. Is that if you want to.
Move in his preferences. Instead of you accessing. System settings.
Doc. You can come here. In this bar.
Right click. And Doc. Adjustments.
See. You go straight there. And here.
Yes. You can change the size of the Doc. Expansion.
When you pass the mouse. Here. On top of the icons.
Okay. And all the other. Options.
You have inside the Doc. Another tip here. Still.
It's that you can drag a folder. Here for Doc. See.
I drag this folder here. So. I'm accessing it now.
She's got nothing inside. But if I play. Africa.
Here inside. In this image. Play inside it.
See. It appeared down here. In the Doc.
I have easy access to it. As well as I have the Downloads. It also comes automatic here in the Doc.
I can get here too. Drg out. I removed this folder.
And still. I can still. Do something else.
Which is really cool. Which is. Look.
I drag here. If I click. With.
Option. Command. See that changed the arrow.
To shortcut. And shortcut means that. So.
I created a shortcut to this folder. So. I can play this shortcut here.
See. I have a shortcut here. From the Copy folder.
And I can even delete this shortcut here. See. He kept the shortcut down there.
So. Now. Unlike.
You click. It opens. For you.
In the Doc. For you to see what's in it. Content.
You click. It already opens. The window here.
Right. From the folder. Inside the Finder.
Which is another option you have. To remove. Same thing.
You drag up. And remove. So.
We just saw. Also. A shortcut tip.
From the keyboard. Which is. Command.
Option. If I get here. The folder.
With. Command. Option.
I create a shortcut. And this shortcut. I can play.
For example. Desktop. And when I click here.
I'm going to access the folder. Beauty. Another thing.
I can delete this shortcut. And I'm not deleting the folder. Only the shortcut.
Another tip. Also cool shortcut. It's the following.
I'm here. With these two steps open. I come here.
In images. I have here. I give a command.
To see the information. Of this image. Here.
And then. I have a shortcut. Which is the following.
Option. If I click on this X. Here.
To close this window. With the key. Option.
Pressed. I'm going to close. All the windows.
Finder. Look. He closed both windows.
And also. That window. Of the information.
Of the image. Very cool. This greatly optimizes your productivity.
Closing several things. At the same time. Another interesting tip.
From Finder. It's the following. Let's assume.
That you want to access the Library folder. Ah. But why would I access the Library folder?
For example. Inside it. There is the Fonts folder.
Which is where you put the fonts. To install on your Mac. So.
Look. We have a way. To do this quickly.
Here in Finder. If we go to it. See.
We do not see the library folder. Library. But.
If I click with the Option key. It appears here for us. Look.
If I click on it. I accessed it here. Directly in Finder.
And then. Here. We can go to Fonts.
And here. Install the fonts we want. I do not have any.
Because this user is reset. But this is where you install the fonts. Another option.
That I can do. From the Library folder. It is.
Put it. Here in our sidebar. From Finder.
Here I can not. But I go here. In file.
Add to the sidebar. See. I added the library here.
So. Now. The access is much faster.
In any folder I have. I click here in the library. I access it quickly.
In macOS. You can capture. Both video.
As. Screens. Screen.
From your screen. For this. You give.
Command Shift 5. And it brings us. The options here.
So. I can. Capture the entire screen.
Capture a selected window. Capture a selected part. And here.
I can record. Screen videos. From a selected area.
And here. And here. I have the options.
In options. You can talk. Where do you want to save this file.
If it's on the table. If it's in the documents folder. If it's in the email.
Send to email. Direct. Then you have a timer.
You can. When you put it to record. It waits 5 seconds.
Or 10. Or none. It already starts recording.
Direct. And here. You can have options.
Show. A floating thumbnail. Memorize the last selection.
And show the cursor of the mouse. Which is a way of you. Be.
For example. Explaining something. And you're seeing.
The cursor of the mouse. If you unclick this. Every time you record a video.
From your screen. The cursor of the mouse will not appear. So.
You have several options. Screen capture. From your macOS.
Here. By command shift 5. Another very cool tip.
To do. Directly. In your macOS.
It's the following. Come on. Again.
In images. I have this image here. I'll get another one here.
This one. Open this image. What I want to do here.
Is adjust its size. Make it smaller. For example.
So. We go here. Here in the pencil.
We go here. In this option. Adjust your size.
Customized. Here it is in centimeters. See?
It's 56 centimeters. I can come here. And put it in pixels.
This image has 6,627 pixels. I want to use it with 1,200 pixels. For example.
See. That she changed. As we are here.
Selected. Redimension. Proportionally.
She will not distort this image. If I downloaded to 1,200. It automatically calculates the height to 800.
The resolution is kept here at 300. And what's cool. Is that down here.
The resulting size. It shows us. The size that will be in centimeters.
And the size of this image. Because it was. 13.
6 Mega. Okay? As I'm playing for 1,200 pixels.
It's going to 199 Kbytes. If I say OK. See.
It got a lot smaller. Another really cool thing. Preview.
Is that we can open an image. Look. Open an image here.
This is a JPEG image. I can come here. In file.
Export as pdf. And here. I'm going to play here.
I'm going to open here. I'm going to play there in the folder. Same folder.
Images. Save. Use pdf.
So. I'm going back to the Finder. For this.
I have another shortcut key here. Very cool for you to learn. Command Tab.
So. Command Tab. I see all the applications open.
So. I navigate with them here. Clicking Command Tab.
And I'm going to Finder. So here we see in the Finder. Here I have that image that I opened.
Let's open a little more here. Documents. And the pdf document.
Which is the same image. Look. See.
That the pdf was in portrait. In vertical. Quickly.
We can adjust this here. In the preview. If you have a trackpad.
Just get your two fingers. And turn the trackpad. Look.
Ready. Turned an image. Landscape.
Horizontal. Another cool thing we can do. It's the following.
We get these three images. I'll open them. So.
He opened the three images. One thing I can do here. It's generating a pdf with these three images.
I give here a Command P. See. It comes here.
For the printing part. So. I'll come here.
First I'll move here. Horizontal. For the images to be right.
And I'll come here in pdf. And I'll save an image of this pdf. I'll put here the A.
For us to differentiate there. Look. I go there in Finder again.
Look at the pdf I created. It generated a pdf with the three images. So.
Now I have three pages. With these images. Inside the pdf.
And another thing that can happen. I wanted to do the opposite. Look.
I'll get this Top 500 here. Which is a pdf I have. See.
A normal pdf. With several pages. I can come here.
File. Export. And then.
I don't want to export it as a pdf. For some reason. I want to keep it as.
Export it as a png. Look. I'm going to export it here.
See. It generated for us. A png here.
In fact. It generated a png here. With all the images.
Of all the pages inside it. Look. If I give space here.
You can see that it generates. Like an animation. I'm seeing here.
All the pages. If I click twice on top of it. It opened here for us.
In the preview. And look. I have all the images.
One by one. Paged here. In pages.
That's pretty cool. Right. The difference.
for you. Who is using. The apps of Apple itself.
Which is of the so-called IWork. The Keynote. Which is the Pages and the Numbers.
Look. I have a Keynote open here. I just created it from scratch.
I can come here. If I want to pass it on to someone. Who will use this on the Windows.
I can come here. In file. Export.
To PowerPoint. This is valid. For both the Pages.
If you export a dock. A Word file. As the Numbers.
you can export to Excel. Of course, it's really cool to work with the iWork apps, because they are much better than the Office package. But, if you need it, here's the tip.
The tip now is this. If you need to close an app that got stuck on your screen, or you need to force it to close, we have some tips for that. One of them is to come here, in the Activity, let's find it here, Activity, Activity Monitor, I'm writing in English, Activity Monitor, it will show us everything that is open.
So, let's get the Keynote, I want to close the Keynote. I come here in this X, and I click, see, I'm going to close the Keynote, or force it to close. So, here I can close the Keynote.
Another tip is for the keyboard shortcut. You can come here in the Command Option, ESC, and see, it opens a window for us with all the apps, everything that is open on your Mac, and you can force them to close. So, the Keynote, if I press Force Close, it will ask me to force it to close.
It closed the Keynote. And the third tip for you to be able to close an app, is to come here in the Dock, click and hold on top of it, see, it's here, Close, and if I come here in the Option, see, it appears Force Close. Then I click, it will force the closing for us, in this case here in Notion.
The next tip is this, let's assume you bought a Mac, it's still in warranty, and you want to know when this warranty expires on your Mac. It's very simple, you go here in the Apple, on this Mac, and open this window here. You go here in More Information, it will open here for us the system settings panel, with the information of your Mac.
You can see that mine has expired coverage, so I can come here in Details, Details again, it will open here for us in Safari, the Apple support page, showing us the date it expired. I'm going here to validate, my access to Apple ID, so see, it gives here my Macbook, expired service support. In my case, it expired because my computer is over a year old, but in yours, here, the date will appear that expires your warranty.
By the way, I think, I'm almost sure, let me conclude here, that here, the expired coverage, when you're still in warranty, the date will appear here already, you wouldn't even need to go to the site. The tip now is productivity with your Mac keyboard. Let's assume you have your Macbook, you have the delete up there on the Macbook, correct?
If you click here, you will delete on your Macbook. But, we also have, if we click here, 10 tricks, I want to delete the word Q, if you click on Function Backspace, it inverts, you see, you can delete the opposite. This is really cool for those who use the Macbook keyboard directly, who don't have the extended keyboard, that we have the delete directly on it.
Another tip here still, in the part of you writing with the Mac, look, if you press the A key and hold it a little bit, you will see here all the accentuation You can come here in 1 and it accentuated. You can do this with any letter. Let's get the C here, I'll hold it a little bit, the accent, 1.
Of course, we have the accent shortcut, which is much faster. If I come here and press Option E and the A, look, I accentuated. Option C, I already put the direct accent, you see?
So, we have shortcut keys for accentuation. Option E, I accentuate. Then you have the Option I, which is the flex option.
You have the Option C, which is the accent, and so on. But if you don't want to use these keyboard shortcuts, you can come here, press the letter and hold the A, for example. 1 is the acute, the uncle.
So, we come here, press 2 and it goes to the uncle. The C, it's just a matter of pressing and holding the letter on the keyboard, that it shows us the options. Another tip here is that you want to put an emoji in this text.
So, we have quick keyboard access to the emojis, which is Ctrl, Command, Space. Look, it showed us here the emoji window. I'll go to Emojis, in the first one here, and then we can put an emoji wherever we want.
Look. Another tip in the text editor, I selected the emoji. If I do Cmd plus, I can increase it.
I'm increasing the font size. I can come here and increase them all. A really cool tip, right?
So, again, Ctrl, Command, Space, and then I have access to the emojis. And one last really cool tip is this. I think the developers of Apple did this on purpose, so we can use it Option, Shift, and K.
Look, you have the Apple logo. So, with the keyboard, you can quickly create the Apple logo. Again, Option, Shift, K.
There it is. Cool, right? Practicing these tips will end up becoming automatic for you.
And when you're using macOS, everything will be much easier. And if you have a cool tip, leave it down here in the comments of this video. And if you've made it this far, leave it down here in the comments of this video the hashtag I watched until the end.
Because then I'll know that you're committed to learning and mastering macOS. And also, like this video. So YouTube knows that this content is relevant and will show it to more people.
