You didn't miss any detail for 11 minutes, I'm impressed and very educated now. Thank you learned person.

You are the first mac user I have encountered, that knows where his files are :)

Dude you're a lifesaver. Switched to m2 air after 20 yrs of windows usage! i would have been lost without your explanation! thank you.

This was just what I was looking for! Thank you! I didn't understand that the Documents/Desktop folders were in iCloud and therefore didn't show up in Users.

I appreciate you sharing your extensive knowledge of Mac OS with us. I am a lifelong PC user and recently bought a MacBook for college. Your videos have turned my frustrations into appreciation for the OS. Once again, thank you.

Two valuable things I learnt which are really useful from this. 1. How to move folders and files ( CMD + C > Option + CMD + V) 2. How to forward delete. (Fn + Delete) Thank you so much for this! Liked and subscribed.

Gary, you are fantastic, thanks a million!!! After 22 yrs on Windows I have just made the transition to Mac. What made things worse was being a tekkie I was familiar with the deep layers of Windows and its substructure. I was somewhat lost on the basics coming over to the MacOS. Despite Apple's enormous intelligence I found it does a very poor job of assistance in migration / introduction. If you search the apple database you find tiny bits and pieces of the knowledge you need. You done a superb job in understand, assembling, and presenting the solutions so many users need. Apple could really learn a thing or two from you. But I hope they don't, because we don't want you to ever leave us.

THANK YOU!! Best tutorial ever on MAC system. I switched from Windows to MAC about six years ago. I’ve learned most of this “the hard way” on my own. This is a fabulous summary and answers many questions I have not been able to learn on my own.

Wish I’d known all of that years ago. Thanks! Your videos are so clear & helpful.

Someone coming from Windows here. Thank you for the clarity! Been wondering how the file structure worked.

This is so informative. I wish I could sit down with you to help me figure out where everything is on my Mac and so much more! You make things clear, but I find afterwards I’ve forgotten what I learned. Ugh! I wonder how much of this is due to my old brain! You’re an excellent teacher, for sure! Thanks, Gary.

Last time I used a MacBook was in High School, almost 10 years ago, been only on windows since. Just bought a Mac today and was completely lost. Didn't even remember how to get to the actual hard drive (or i guess SSD in this case) window in finder, thank you for the quick and useful refresher!

Very good, stratight-forward explanation for those of us who are new to Mac. Thank you!

Thank you Gary, I am enjoying watching your videos!

I had an iMac 2008 and it bit the dust some years ago so I switched to a laptop PC (which I’m still using--it’s been updated and using external monitor)--but have always missed having a Mac since I’m a iPhone/iPad, etc user. I finally bought an M2 pro Mac mini with upgrades to use with my external monitor and your videos are helping me immensely in getting reacquainted and organized. Thank you so much!

This video is worth a Dozen other KZfaq Videos, Saved my time, Thank You Gari

This is the most helpful, simple, thorough and clear explanation I have ever encountered.. thank you very much ❤️

Your knowledge of the Mac is invaluable. Thank You so much for sharing your knowledge and being such a indispensable resource 👍🏽

I just moved to a Mac for a new job, and while I consider myself a Windows "power user", I've always just been kind of guessing and inefficient on a Mac. This was a great explanation- hyper focused with just the right amount of context for it all to make sense. Subscribing and checking out other videos.

I am fairly new to Mac. This was super helpful! Thank you, Gary!

WOW, what a channel it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for

Your voice is amazing! Thank you for teaching this with so much patience, keep up the amazing work!

No one can explain like you.... keep on uploading such tutorial for mac users.

Excellent as always Gary. Very easy to follow. Long time Apple user, hate windows now. Plus I teach Apple related classes so your tutorials are always great for my own prep work.

Thank you so much! this was so clear and enlightening - I have had my mac for years and always been confused about what was on iCloud Drive and local files - now I understand. Thank you

Hi thanks for a great video I like the way you explain. Not overcomplicating !

Thank you so much. I just transitioned from a lifelong relationship with windows and I was having such a hard time with this. Thank you again

Thank you very much, very useful for my new Mac :-) I have been Windows user for ages but purchased my 1st Mac for the photography and like it!

Thanks so much! I am new to the Apple Mac OS.... and this helps me a lot. I was saving files in the iCloud folders...and the Documents folders, etc..... all over the place, not knowing how to structure my folders like I had in Windows. Now, I feel I have a fighting chance.

It’s very useful. Thank you

Thanks Gary! I love your videos...

This is a great tutorial thank you! I most appreciate the high info to chit chat ratio, which is so often inverted.
