hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and yesterday Apple released Mac OS Catalina
10.15 .4 this came out alongside iOS 13.3, iPad OS 13.4
four and watch OS 6.2 all of which I've covered in separate videos
now this update brings new features and bug fixes and some updates and so we'll
talk about that in a moment but the first thing is this took quite a while
to install it took probably thirty minutes to install and depending on your
internet connection that will vary a little bit but let's take a look at the
new features so the first thing is if we go into finder and if we click on iCloud
Drive we now have iCloud Drive folder sharing so if we right-click or option
click on a folder we go to share we now have an option to add people so if we
click on add people we can now add people to collaborate within that folder
so that they can actually download maybe modify a file and you can send that
information to them through mail messages copy a link or airdrop if we
click on share options you can change who can access it based on only people
you invite or anyone with a link also you can give them permissions to view
only or make changes so it's a nice little update that goes along with what
we have on iOS 13.4 let's go ahead and take a look at the next update
which has to do with screen time so we'll close this out we'll go to System
Preferences and then we'll go to screen time now under screen time they've added
a feature we've had for a little while on iOS so if you setup family sharing
and you have some children you can select them here and let me select
another person on the Left we have communication if we go into
communication we now have communication limits for who your children can
communicate with and be contacted by throughout the day and during downtime
so maybe they shouldn't be contacting someone while at school you can turn
that on otherwise you can leave it open to everyone it's just up to you as a
parent you could set this up for anyone though that you have in family sharing
now they've also added additional controls to allow for access to things
like music videos so you can restrict access to it or allow it based off music
profiles or if we go into stores here your TV shows app
and everything else so the music videos have been added to this and it's just
something new that gives you a little extra control now they've updated music
with the lyrics feature that we have already with iOS 13 so it's really nice
we'll wait for it to open here and go to for you and if I click on a song here I
have my volume down but I'll click play and in the upper right you'll see we
have a lyrics button and the lyrics are in real-time and we can click on any
lyric to jump to that part in the song so if I click down here let me go ahead
and click on this one you'll see the song jumps up here if I want to go back
to the beginning of the song it will jump back so you can now have that
within music on a Mac so it's a really nice feature that we've had on iOS for a
little while but they've added to the Mac and it works with any song that's in
Apple music that has lyrics not all of them have now there's some new updates
within Safari or a couple extra features so let's go into Safari and if we go to
file and then go down to import from we can select Google Chrome and we now have
the option to import passwords so we can import any of those passwords into your
iCloud keychain for an easy autofill of your information so that will work
across all of your devices so that's really nice
now they've also added controls for duplicating a tab and for closing all
tabs to the right of the current tab so we want to open this here and a new one
click a little plus and we can right-click or option click and close
tab or close other tabs so we can close this tab
you've got a couple different options as well so we can close them all at once so
we now have those options and now Safari also supports HDR playback on compatible
computers for Netflix content so if you have an HDR display you'll be able to
see that now there's been some updates to the App Store and the first one is
Universal purchase support now I mention this with my iOS 13.4 video and
what this allows for is maybe you purchase a finicky designer
well the developer now has the option to give you that same app on your iPhone
iPod Touch iPad Mac and Apple TV for one price now they don't have to do that but
there's that option now so you've seen this a lot with iPhones and iPads but
now it carries across to the map the other update is with arcade and if you
subscribe to our cade you'll start seeing the options of games that will
carry across different devices so for example if I try this new game spider I
could start playing it here and then I'll have the ability to continue
playing that on an Apple TV iPhone iPod Touch iPad or Mac so depending on what
device amount I can just continue it where I left off on the other devices so
it's a nice little update now there's an update with the new Pro display XDR so I
don't have one of those this is an iMac Pro I'm recording this on but the pro
display XDR if we go to that will go to Mac and this is their 5000 to $7000
display depending on which one you get but they've added customized reference
modes that you can tailor to specific workflow needs so you can select things
like color gamut and things like that so if we go to displays for example we
have our normal options but we have different options for color gamut and
things that will show up under color if you have a pro display XDR there's a new
accessibility option that's been added for controlling your Mac as well so if
we go into our preferences then we go to accessibility then we scroll down to
pointer control under pointer control if we click on alternate control methods we
now have an able head pointer and this will allow the pointer to be controlled
by your movement of your head captured by the camera as it says here so if I
click on options you can see there I am in the camera and I can turn this on and
it's a little tricky to get it to use but if I turn on head point
it says head pointer on I should be able to control my pointer by looking at the
screen using the control of my head and you'll see the pointer is moving around
now it's not incredibly fluid on how to use it it will take some time to learn
how to use it but the option is there if you want to use this so it's nice that
they're adding accessibility options for all sorts of controls now the next
update was a big one for me or at least I thought so until I tried to use it and
that is display support for HDR 10 compatible third-party displays now
Apple had only supported HDR on things like iMac Pro if you were watching
specific movies but now they're supporting it with third-party displays
if you have an HDR 10 compatible display the catch is it only works over
DisplayPort or HDMI for some reason now I have a 5k by 2k display that I use
with my Mac Pro and you have to use HDMI or display port but the Mac Pro only has
HDMI and the resolution is not correct when I'm doing that now it looks good
but you don't have the options like you do here such as scaled where you can
scale text and things like that if you're not using the thunderbolt
connection so hopefully Apple enables it to use
Thunderbolt that you do have a new option for HDR if you have an HDR 10
compatible display and you're using those specific connectors now they've
added a couple things that are pretty quick to go over ooofff Afeni keishon
support with Outlook calm they've also added Cal dev migration support when
upgrading to iCloud reminders on a secondary device now they've resolved
some issues where a text copied between apps may appear invisible when dark mode
is active they've also fixed an issue in Safari where CAPTCHA tiles may not
display correctly and they've resolved issues with reminders not sending
notifications for completed reminders and then finally they've fixed an issue
with screen brightness on the lg ultra fine 5k display after waking from sleep
so those are the bug fixes that they mentioned and then there's also over 20
security updates that they've mentioned as well and I can link those in the
description so you can take a look at them but they have to do with everything
from the kernel to Bluetooth and other features as well so a lot of things
should be fixed in this update and it should be more secure that's it for Mac
OS catallena 10.5 15.4 if you found anything else let me
know in the comments below but really the big changes should come up with the
next version with that live stream of WWDC or whatever happens with that so
expect 10.15.5 a little later on in June at least a first
look at it or sometime around that but let me know if you found anything if
you'd like to get your hands on this wallpaper I'll link it in the
description as I always do if you haven't subscribed already please
subscribe and if you enjoyed the video please give it a like as always thanks
