I’ve used Macs at home and Windows at work for years, and I greatly prefer navigating on a Mac, perhaps because I know how to optimize my workflow and match my personal preferences. but that's the same with anything in life. If you buy some hookie piece of trash off Amazon then likelihood is that it won't work as well as more reliable hardware. (it's kind of well known that Mac's "just work".)įinally (and I'm sure you don't need this), if you buy a peripheral that Apple endorses, you can likely guarantee that it, too, will work. really!?!? Maybe book a session at a Genius Bar.Īt risk of sounding like a "FanBoy": maybe Mac users don't worry about such menial matters because they're used to their computer just working. Of course there'll be frustrations, but throwing your toys out of the pram because you couldn't find the answer to a simple task. ![]() With all due respect it looks like you're looking for problems where there aren't any.Īctivity Monitor will show you all of the computer's activity - network traffic included - and more.Īs some others point out, you're trying to migrate. I know you've started off your vid with "I am going to sound like a." but.really? There is the built in activity monitor which does provide an overall data received and sent speeds, in kilobytes/megabytes per second. You can hover the mouse pointer over the maximise button for different options.Īs for monitoring transfer speeds, I fully understand why you'd want to check the quality of a connection for a new cable/adapter/etc, but day to day I can't see much use once you know you have a good connection. I would like an explanation for why this is the case, but I generally don't use applications in such a manner on my iMac anyway. Others (Mac Mail, Photos, Notes) all maximise in the same fashion as MS Windows. Finder windows (the equivalent to Explorer in Windows) and Safari (and probably some others) only increase to full height. I tested this on a few applications this morning and I get different results. You can maximise (sort of and sometimes) windows using by holding the Option key down, then clicking the maximise button. There's just a little difference in the language. I find little difference between the two day to day. I been using both Mac OS and Windows on a daily basis for years, After just a few days I was able to move between both relatively easy. These more powerful machines are papering over the cracks of the very bloated software that Adobe produce. No doubt they are powerful machine and very reliable (except for that butterfly keyboard which was a nuisance a few years ago). I'm sure if Steve Jobs was still with us he would have transformed the laptop to a different level / experience. One of the things I find dealing with beginners in photography is the difficulties they have transfering images from a memory card to a PC or Laptop and then further managing them. I'm been constantly been surprised that Apple haven't moved that phone / iPad experience to a Laptop to open a new audience to laptops. The two departments must not talk to each other at all. I've seen kids under 1 years of age managing to operate an iPad or an iPhone and yet at times I can't do simple things easily on a Mac. I'm on it a number of year now so its not really an issue anymore but I'm surprised often by its layout being even more unintuitive as Windows. I'd recommend you play with the dock settings, including magnification.Īs both a Windows and Mac user I've often been surprised by Mac OS system. If you go to system preferences you can customize that so it stays hidden until you move your cursor to that part of the screen. To quickly switch desktops, you just have to flick three fingers either to the left or right. You can click and drag windows from one desktop to another, and even set apps to only open in particular desktops. You can make as many of these as you want, via the plus sign on the right side of the screen. If you move your cursor to that top shelf, it'll expand and show a live preview of what's on your desktops. If you swipe up with three fingers, it'll show you all the windows, but there will also be a gray bar that drags down from the top of the screen. ![]() One other feature you may love - multiple desktops. You can also CMD+Tab like you'd Alt+Tab on Windows. ![]() There's a handful of gesture controls like that, and you can customize them in System Preferences -> Trackpad -> More Gestures. This will show you all the instances of whatever application you're currently using. Lee Morris Regarding quickly cycling through application windows - place three fingers on the trackpad and drag them all down. ![]()
