Tip number one in mac os you somebody a later you have the ability to batch or
Mass edit filenames in finder and it's super handy
So in this folder i've got a bunch of photos that i took in israel last
Year but beyond being in the folder called tel aviv the filenames themselves are just a
Cryptic name that my camera spit out and they're, not very easily searchable or identifiable now of course i could
change the name of one of these files
By adding, israel to the beginning but that's not very efficient and i have several hundred. Photos
Well i can select all and then right-click and then go down
to where it says rename 150 for items and there are multiple options for me to batch edit these file names i
Can either change dsc to israel or something, along those lines so i get a
File like this or i can actually make a brand, new, series so i can call it tel-aviv
deep and then
Start the series with number one and go up sequentially from there and you'll see i've got one two three four five seven eight nine
Ten, and i've got this very very handy, easily digestible file format that's very easily searchable
Tip number two have you
Ever been watching or listening to something on your mac and notice that one full volume jump is a little bit more than you'd like
Perhaps it's a little too louder maybe the very lowest volume setting is still too loud, well if you hold down shift option
And then click your volume keys you can
Move the volume slider in increments of one quarter this is awesome for slight micro adjustments or just barely
Listening to audio through, your mac tip number three if you've ever tried to drag a window in the background around
You, probably noticed that as soon as you. Click it it becomes the foreground window
Which isn't always what you want, well if you are on the foreground window
You can, actually hold, down the command key as you drag the background window
And it won't become the foreground window it just stays in the background. Pretty handy, little tip
Tip number for i really, like, some of the window
Snapping functions built into recent versions of windows and mac os just seems behind in that regard now. Yes there are applications
Like, better snap tool that allow you to do your window management
A little bit better but there is at least one slightly rudimentary way?
To, snap panes in mac os 10. And that is if you before you click the green
Fullscreen, button, click it and hold down and then you can
Actually drag it to the left or right side of the screen if you drag it to the left side it finds itself
Straight down the middle of our screen and then i can
Either just work over here or find a second app to go on the other half of the screen you can actually
Drag and resize, these panes and no it's not as powerful as windows
10 snapping and you are still in full-screen, mode which is a little irritating so if you
Want to go back to the finder you're, gonna have to jump out that way but it does work and i do use it occasionally?
Tip number, five it's laurel, by the way?
If you've ever forced touched on a word on one of the recent mac books you'll have noticed that this little
Handy, little pop-up
Bar comes up and it defines the word that you've selected it'll will look for it on wikipedia if it's the name of a
Person or an actor they'll show, up with their movies or their music and itunes you'll find
web videos about it you can rent the movie directly from the tab it's it's pretty cool, and
Unfortunately on an imac or at least on an older mac that doesn't have a force touch trackpad
It doesn't seem like you can, do it but actually you can if you
Highlight your cursor over the word and then press ctrl, command d that little pop-up bar will come up
No it's not as handy as force touching but, hey it's something
Tip number six, okay this one is cool, we've all heard of remote desktop, software like teamviewer or gotomeeting, where you can
Screen share your screen with
Someone else or you can even control their desktop
But a lot of people don't know that that's already built in natively to mac os10 on every single mac
It's called screen sharing and you
Do have to find it in spotlight it's not in the applications folder but once you enter the app you can
Either type the ip address of the computer with a much easier way is to type the apple, id of the account?
Associated that's logged into that computer
So if i want to log in to my other computer here in the office i just i my, own apple
Id and all of my, mac's logged into, my apple, id will get the notification?
Or you can type in the apple
Id of someone halfway across the world and they'll get a notification, asking if you can
See and share and control their screen so it's a great way to, do tech support, when you don't
Want to have to deal with stuff over the phone or you, don't wanna have to facetime telling them
what to do you just do it yourself or a really fun thing that you can, do
Is there's actually microphone functionality built in so not only can you see and control their desktop you can
Actually talk over your eyesight camera microphone it's great for netflix and
long, distance chill
Tip number seven i always, feel, like this is one that most people know, but then i look at
People's menu bars and they're cluttered to the brim with icons a lot of people don't know
That you can, rearrange the icons
By holding down the command key and then dragging the icon to wherever you want and a lot of them especially
System icons can be removed entirely if i'm always connected to ethernet and don't need wi-fi i can hold down command
Drag it off the menu bar let go and it disappears now
You, can't, do that with all third-party icons a lot of them these
Little applets especially you need to disable them from within the app
Themselves but it's a great little way to rearrange stuff to move it around, and just clean up
Your status bar tip number eight i feel like, most people know. That if you right-click the toolbar in a finder window
You can, customize the toolbar really entirely in control, what icons are in your main finder windows if you
Want more stuff if you need less stuff it's pretty handy but what a lot of people don't know
Is that you can, drag files or folders into here as
well
now let's say i hold down the command key and drag this tel-aviv file and there you go every time i click it a tel-aviv
Folder is going to open now?
You, may be thinking
Well that's stupid just drag it into the sidebar that's always
Permanently there it's clearly designed for that and that's probably true but you can, also drag, oh?
By the way to get rid of these you hold down the command key and then you just drag it away but you can
Also, drag applications into here so let's draw
A drag rod digger, which is an application that i use a lot into the tool, bar here now
When i click it roger will open that's pretty cool, but what you?
Also, do is let's say i'm in the tel-aviv folder i've got raphael i can just drag the file right onto the little guy
And it'll open the application with the file in full, view it's really really handy
You've got commonly used applications that you want in your menu bar
Number nine have you
Ever used an application that for whatever reason doesn't have shortcuts programmed for some of the menu bar items you
Use it's super annoying let's take the new, firefox quantum for example i love this, browser it's way, better than chrome suck at
Chrome users but the problem is is that there are two, ways to view the history
When you?
do shift command h
Which is the normal history shortcut it just pops up this little sidebar but sometimes i want to see the full history window
The problem is is that for whatever reason there isn't a shortcut available you can see there's no shortcut over here but
That's not a problem because, we can, create our own?
if i go into, system preferences and click
Keyboard and then click the shortcuts tab and then app shortcuts i can
Add a new application specific shortcut so you can have to do in all applications if you
Want it but no i just want this in firefox
Now you need?
to type the
Menu title name of the item that you're trying to engage so this one is show all history and you have to type it exactly
As it appears
This, movie you have to type it with all capitals if there's periods
Like this one for example clear recent history you have to do dot dot dot at the end type it exactly as it appears and
Then you give it a
New shortcut so instead of shift command h let's do shift command ok i?
Press add and then now in firefox when i press shift command ok the full
History window. Opens, and we can, even see here that show all history now has a programmed hotkey very handy
