INTRODUCTION TO AN APPLE MAC
An Apple Mac is a great tool to use in your daily work routine. It is used primarily for word processing and helps with presentations and other document-editing tasks. However, using an Apple Mac can often be tedious due to its advanced features and settings. In this article, we will go over some simple tips you should keep in mind when using your Apple Mac computer so you can get more done faster without spending all of your time trying to figure out how it works.
Below are 3 time saving tips on your Apple Mac that you may not know about
CUSTOMIZE THE CONTROL CENTER WITH SHORTCUTS
One of the great features of an Apple Mac is that you can customize almost every part of your computer. To customize this area on your computer, click the Apple symbol on the top left of your home screen. It will open a drop-down menu with several options. Click “System Preferences” and then click “Mission Control.” Clicking the checkbox next to “Show All Windows on a single display” will bring up your control center and all other applications you have open on that particular monitor. The tip is a great time-saving feature since you can skip clicking through all your available apps to get to the ones you need. Note that if you wish for this option to remain on, you must enable it whenever you restart your computer.
USING KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
Another great feature of a Mac is the ability to customize the keyboard shortcuts for your computer. On your keyboard, press “Control” and “Option” simultaneously. It will open up a list of options and allow you to set shortcuts for everyday tasks. Note that some keystrokes will be unique to each operating system, but most of these can be easily open to being customized on your system. For example, if you set the shortcut for Copy to be “Shift” plus “C,” it will be much easier and faster to copy text from one place to another on your computer.
USING CONVERSIONS ON SPOTLIGHT
While searching for different files through Spotlight, you may notice that the search system also offers to convert certain items, such as measurements. The tip is a great feature to use when looking for specific documents. For example, if you are looking for a PDF conversion and have already searched for the file name, you can click on the conversion option to narrow your search even further. Using Spotlight is a great way to quickly find and open commonly used files or applications on your computer. Note that you can also use the search field in your applications, which may be easier to use if you have a lot of file types scattered throughout different folders.
CONCLUSION
You can customize your Mac’s screen saver to show notes, compilations of photographs from events you have attended, important reminders, and other quick pieces of information. Setting it up is easy; all you will need to do is go.
