I have been using Macs for over ten years and have loved them. I am now locked down for a bit due to the virus so have spent the last few days watching your videos. I guess I was using my Mac for about 5% of what it can do. I am a little embarrassed by all the things I didn't know. A big thank you.

Never knew that Digital Colour meter can provide the colour code in HEX. Thank you, Gary. Respect.

This was SO helpful to me! Thank you!

Dear Gary, you make me, a silver server, have that feeling of an inadequate student, when all around Are all so savvy. A humility which reminds me of early years in college. A good thing. To know, one will never be a polymath. And as the ancient Greeks told us; we discover more Through humility, than pomposity...

Thanks for sharing Gary!

The Image capture app has just blown my mind !🤯 thank you so much 🙏🏻👏🏻

Another gem. Thanks Jezza

Thanks as always Gary!!

I've always depended on Disk Utility. It a great tool. My wife was a big fan of Stickies. Font Book is in my Dock along with Automator, Script Editor and the Terminal. I have the last MacBook Pro with an internal DVD drive. The DVD Player app used to always be in the Utilities folder but it isn't anymore. A Spotlight search wouldn't reveal it. I had to set the disk insert action in System Preferences to have it automatically launch DVD Player to coax it out of hiding. Once it was running I put it in the Dock where I can find it again if I need it.

Blown away that I just found your channel. So useful!

Hello, Gary. I very much enjoy your informative material on the ‘You Tube It’ web site. Some things don’t quite translate from American English into British English. For example, where you say ‘app’ (application?) I would probably say programme. Despite these very small language differences, I have learned enormous amounts about my Apple manufactured devices so thank you for your work and your very clear explanations. I have become a ‘You Tube It’ subscriber of your excellent channel.

Grapher was a great intro! Thanks!

Well shame on me I knew none of these, but know I do! Very informative video! Thank you, Gary! ❤️👍🏻

I think I'm in love with all your tutorials.

Thanks, they were indeed useful tips to know!

Yet another sensational video. Thank you for your work.

Bless you! This is awesome!

These videos make my Mac 50% more useful every time! Thanks Gary!

Never used an Apple. Got my first SE in 1985 and I've been employed by using MACs ever since. And after 36 years I'm still learning. Thanks, Gary...

Great information! Thanks!

Wow , that was very helpful information. I didn't know about most of those apps. Not sure why they are not in the launcher for all to see.

Many thanks. You are the best.

Thank you so much.

Wow -- been using a Mac daily for 10 years, and I had no idea about the existence of several of these apps. Definitely going to create a shortcut to the "system" version of the Applications folder on my desktop!

Great video again. You also learned me something, which you did not intend with this video. At 6:25 You did command and then clicked on the title of the folder, to go up a folder. I did not know that either. Thanks again Gary.

I frequently use the Dictionary's front/back matter to access the U.S. Constitution. It's easier than doing a web search.

I know some of them, but not a color meter, which is great and simple. Thanks!

Really helpful! Didn't know about 8 of these lol

Useful info… thanks

super useful¡ thanks

Hey Gary, Thanks so much for yet another informative video. I have owned my Mac ow for 3 years and never knew half of this stuff. I'm so glad I found your website back when I purchased my Mac.

Great tutorial,May I ask how do I get the apps onto my dock please? Thankyou

You earned a new subbie!

I’m the kinda nerd who has the font library and color meter in my dock for quick referencing while I do design work

Thank you

Another Great Video

I do web design and I never knew my iMac had a digital color meter. This is a face palm moment 🤦🏻‍♀️ I done the switch over from Microsoft not to long ago. Thank you for this video.

3:12 Pages can render the FONTAWESOME icons; MS Word, can‘t. Video about formatting disks? Which settings allow partitions?

Wow...'Grapher'...who knew?? Thanks Gary!

well I guess this video is for new apple users coming from window. Sure those apps evolve with the OS, chess was introduced in 10.0 X and stickies was on OS9 I used a lot. Glad someone is doing this .

What! Color meter... what! Thank you 🙏🏻!

“this whole thing is created by ‘simply’ using this equation up here” !!!!!!! 😂😂 that cracked me up Gary. I busted out laughing. The scribbles of that equation look like Chinese writing to me!! If I see a + or - then I know what that means. Outside of that 👎🏼. I love your videos Gary. Please never stop!!

Thanks for your work. I need a database for my books and cds. Hard to find. Can you help?

In Audacity, a bunch of "Apple AU" effects can be enabled from within the app. I've always assumed these are a hidden part of Mac OS, but not sure.

👍👍👍👍😎 👍👍👍👍🏆 As always, THANK you Gary.

KZfaq added chapters to this video. Very nice!

If only the Activity Monitor would let you monitor the current transfer rate of the disk. I have yet to find a way to do that and knowing the total bytes transferred isn’t all that useful as compared to knowing the current rate of transfer.

For extra credit, show us where the Screen Sharing app is! (Yes, I found it, but it's in none of the obvious places).

Video suggestion, hardware you use...like mac mini, imac etc?

Hello Gary, because Mac has a PDF converter, but is not for large documents with several pages, it is limited. So what other PDF editor should I use in my MAC?

Is Logic Pro one of the free programs that come with a Mac Pro

Related to the dictionary app, what I often use is force touching on a word with the trackpad, either on a laptop or with the magic trackpad, and getting a quick view of meaning, and especially thesaurus. This comes through clutch when writing. You can also set it up to display dictionaries in other languages, so my wife uses force touch on her laptop to quickly translate words in her native language.

Does it help to use the "First Aid" feature on Disk Utility to have better overall performance? Love your videos

This is somewhat useful as a tip. All one needs to do is browse the Application folder to see what's there. The sad thing is, I know too many people who have no idea what all the apps are on the Mac. I have 174 entries in my Applications folder (many are apps that I have added) and another 17 entries in Applications/Utilities. And just out of curiosity, at one time or another I have launched every app just to see what it does.

Love your Videos! But: Open the Launchpad and you see directly all these apps in a second 😉. Ist is the shorter way.

1:34 Chess 2:00 Dictionary 2:47 Font Book 3:10 Image Capture 3:31 Stickies 4:00 Activity Monitor 4:29 Digital Colour Meter 5:11 Disk Utility 5:54 Grapher 6:31 Voice Memos

All these applications you mentioned are in the regular applications folder on my computer - no need to go under the GO menu to access them. Not sure why the difference.

Of holidays apps it’s probably the chest one is the one I probably use the most

Hi, my Mac is a iMac 27inch mid 2011 which I have upgrades with a ssd. I don’t seem to have voice memo. Also would it be worth upgrading the graphics card to a magnetic one so that I can upgrade to the latest os?

Is there any benefit accessing these apps the way that's in the video versus me opening "Lauchpad"?

There are 62 Apps that you can actually find in Finder, but there are some that pop up as required by certain tasks. Not sure where Apple stashes those.

macmostvideo, questions: if I have an older Mac that has the hard drive changed to a SSD drive say about 3 years ago. 1:Why won't it upgrade to the newest operating software for Mac? It keeps saying not enough space on drive, so I wiped and deleted it still this same issue. 2: can a Mac once wiped clean with 7 delta wipe with no backup's or cloud in use be recovered say with disk drill app? 3: can a wipe clean delete and reinstall remove all spyware/viruses from my Mac? 4: can you do a how to do video on all these things? I don't have the original software operating reinstall disk anymore. I think it was the one or two before the Lion one. Help me please!

Image capture needs a physical connection to an iPhone? Also, iPhone cannot connect to a Mac using Bluetooth?

How about DVD Player?

I LOVE Audacity! Probably one of the greatest free apps out there!

Can you help me please, my app store on my MacBook pro opens normal but when i go to search for an app it shows ( can not connect to App Store) :(

Grapher 🤯

I know it's unrelated to the today's vlog, but do we need to use a VPN when connected ethernet or wifi at home?

I love you

Gary how come your time machine is showing under networks in your hd folder, mine isn't???? i would think the most known would be chess, even non skilled computer people find the games first, i think. Know how to play chess, however ive never used this app. I know of all apps im in my app folder a lot. ive used dict, I-C, A-M, D-U & briefly a long time ago V-M. I like the tip on font, never accessed it in app folder.

Didn't you cover this last month?

I was expecting him to talk about the Applications in /System/CoreServices/Applications...

Some application are not deleting so what to do

At 1:00 you explain apps that are part of the system and how to get to it. I used your navigation method to remove an "adware or malware" from my 2010 iMac computer. I've been searching KZfaq videos to give me ideas as to how to search for my malware "TotalAdviseSearch" which has haunted my computer for over a year now. I refused to use the methods on KZfaq that require a download whether it was free or for purchase. My paranoia about these anti-adware programs is that they were created by the same people that came up with the fix. That's just me and my paranoidal bewares and cautions that haunt me. So I have to thank you for putting videos up to teach us about our computers. "Thank You"!

I never knew about the chess app! Or the grapher.

Why doesn't the boot camp work in M1 mac's ? I wanna play some window games on Marcos.

@ 3:20 But only Apple phones. : (

i like stickies

None of these Apps are hidden.

I’m a bit disappointed that more apps don’t work on the Mac...when I bought my M1 Mac Mini I thought I was gonna be able to use the majority of apps that I use on my iPad like KZfaq, Facebook and many others.

What about the Boot camp ?

Why on Earth did Apple move some of these basic common apps to System? hmm

GNU Chess :)

Start video at .26 always

OMG all these apps i can see normally how are the hidden? makes me laugh....they have always been in my apps folder by default... lol

This is so crazy all those are in apps folder ,,,,lol click bate

Most of this is useless to me, how about finding out why my 62 K emails have turned up back in my inbox from a previous edition! Mojave. They were gone for ages but have now turned up in the latest and greatest version of Mac since i upgraded. WTF!! If you don't know you tell them folks at Mail to message me so we can have a chat...Please.

Just go to launchpad you find them all there, so simple! thumbs down for wasting my time

And never need to know. Buying anything by Apple is one of the most stupid things you will ever do.
