7 Tips For A New Mac User: Have you bought a new Mac device recently? is it your time with Apple? then don’t worry, we are here to help you in the journey. It is a bit difficult to adjust to a new routine and new technology, especially when shifting to a different operating system altogether.
Here are some tips and tricks in order to make your journey with Mac easier.
Relevant Shortcuts
From knowing how to permanently delete files to taking screenshots, you have to familiarize yourself with the keyboard shortcuts of MacBook.
At first, it might not be easy to memorize some of the sequences, but the more you use them, the more memory will improve.
Drive Space
If you are the one who is having the habit of creating multiple files and never thinks about space, then it is high time for you to stop such things. When people just flood the MacBook with various files, tabs, temporary files, and applications then the device will slow down.
Initially, MacOS works with RAM and once the RAM memory is at its lowest, it shifts to internal memory. When both spaces are full then the system starts to crash.
Internet Browsers
Operating Systems have a user-friendly browser, like Edge for Windows, Chrome for Google Pixel, and Safari for Apple. If you have opted for the Safari web browser for your Mac then it would be a great choice.
Applications
Apple products do not support pirated versions of applications, files, and extensions. This feature is to ensure the security of the users because pirated applications often carry malware which can affect your device in a bad way.
Windows On Your Mac
If you are not all impressed by the MacOS then you have an option to switch to Windows software which requires an M1 chip on your Mac. You can install windows with some simple steps. Firstly, you have to register on the Windows website to download the Windows ARM version and then follow the steps.
Integrated Apps
macOS offers a sold selection of integrated applications like Spotlight, iMovie, GarageBand, Preview, etc. Apple introduces new features to integrated applications following every macOS update. But, sometimes, you may expect to see a new tool for macOS. Hence, keep an eye on the next macOS update and install it at your convenience.
The Dock
For a stress-free and easier user experience, Mac never fully shuts down an application or program that you are using, even after hitting the cross button. The application keeps running in the background and continues to consume a lot of battery. As a result of this, the processor gets slow down and whatever the applications running in the background will be available on the Dock and have a dot next to them. You have to right-click the application and select quit from the menu. Keeping the dock at its minimum will help you to use your MacBook for a long time.
