First Steps on Mac: OS X for Beginners. MacBook Terms of Use Adding Applications to Startup

Given the fact that not so long ago it was released a new version operating system Mac OS High Sierra, and with so many different student discounts on MacBooks, it’s safe to assume that you are one of the lucky owners of a Mac. Perhaps you have just moved from Windows or Linux, or perhaps this is your first computer at all - in any case, this article will allow you to learn a lot of new things.

1. Smart unit conversion with Spotlight

If earlier using Spotlight it was possible to carry out various calculations, then with the release of the new Yosemite operating system, this application acquired an additional function - unit conversion. This program is so smart that in many cases it not only gives an answer to your request, but also offers a conversion to alternative units of measurement.

Enter "$ 1299" and the program will immediately show you how many rubles are in this amount (building your guess based on which national currency you selected in "System settings" in the "Country \ region" section), and a little lower on page you will see other results, for example, in euros, yen and so on.

2. Improved version of Siri

Before the release of Mac OS Sierra, the Dictaphone tool installed in the Mac showed itself in the best light, over and over again surprising us with its speech recognition abilities. But Siri's long-awaited return to Apple desktops and laptops has smashed it to smithereens.

Siri, which we are all used to in iPhones, can be called by pressing and holding Command + Space or by clicking on the corresponding icon in the Dock or Menu. However, the new version of Siri looks much more efficient.

In addition to answering the usual queries, for example, "What is the weather now?" and “Who won the last playoff game?”, Siri on Mac OS Sierra can turn system functions such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on and off, and find individual files on your system based on the file information you tell her.

Siri can even open and close apps at your request, and save the results of your queries in the notification area for future reference. Just press Command + Space and ask her something.

3. Start Windows

Yes, yes, we foresaw the question: who wants to run Windows? In fact, sometimes it can be extremely convenient and even necessary, for example, to play the latest version of a recently released game or launch a certain program that has no Mac equivalent.

You can run Windows with Mac OS using applications such as VMware Fusion, Parallels Desktop, or VirtualBox. It is also possible to do this by splitting hard disk into sections and further Windows installations- in this case you need Boot Camp located in the Utilities folder.

4. Create screenshots of any size

For someone who uses Windows, taking a screenshot can be a daunting task. For example, you can use the PrtSc key to capture an entire screen, or use the Windows Scissors tool to capture a portion of the image. In addition, some keyboards do not support this function, and opening a special application to take a screenshot is too long and complicated way. Fortunately, Mac makes this process as easy as possible.

To take a screenshot of the entire screen, just hold down Shift + Command + 3 at the same time - the screenshot will be saved on your desktop. To take a screenshot of some part of the screen, hold down Shift + Command + 4 - the screenshot will also be saved on the desktop, and to take a screenshot of a separate window, hold down Shift + Command + 4, then press the spacebar and click on the window you want to take a screenshot of.

Finally, if you are lucky enough to own a new MacBook Pro with Touch Bar, then hold down Shift + Command + 6 to take a picture of this small OLED strip. Either way, all you need to do to take screenshots on your Mac is just memorize a few simple keyboard shortcuts.

5. Auto show and hide the menu bar

The menu bar has been fixed in place since the Mac's release in 1984, but with the release of OS X El Capitan, users have the ability to hide it. To do this, open System Preferences, go to the General tab and select Auto Hide Menu Bar. Now it will only be displayed when you move the pointer up to the top of the screen.

6. Using unusual symbols and emoticons

Along with the letters and numbers that are marked on the keyboard, you can also use a huge number of special characters. You probably already know how you can put an accent mark over a letter, as in the word "café" (press Option + E and E again, in OS X 10.7 and later, just hold E until you see a menu with additional options) ... But these are not all the functions available to you.

Go to the "Edit" menu, which is in most applications, and at the bottom you will see the "Special Characters" panel with a huge number of different characters that you can optionally include in your document. Unfortunately, not all applications and operating systems support them, but they - for the most part - conform to the cross-platform Unicode standard.

However, emojis (bright and colorful imagery available in OS X 10.7 and later) are a rare exception to this rule. Although they are available not only in Apple devices, in the case of them there is a possibility that the recipient will not be able to see them, since his device does not support these characters.

7. Create signatures on PDF documents directly in Mail

Although we live in the 21st century, we still put our flourish on paper when we officially agree to something. If you were sent by e-mail The PDF document that you need to sign, now you do not need to suffer, first printing it, then signing it and finally scanning it to send it back. Now you can sign it directly via email.

Drag the PDF file into the email you want to send, hover over it - a small button will appear in the upper right corner. Click on it and you will see a number of available options, one of which will be "Document Signing". The most convenient way to add a signature is to use the webcam on your Mac: just hold the sheet with your signature over it and wait for the camera to capture it. At the same time, the camera perfectly recognizes the signature, excluding everything unnecessary in the background. In addition, you can use your own touchpad, which makes it much more convenient to write with a stylus.

8. Using Split View

Using the two Mac apps side by side has become much easier with the release of OS X 10.11 El Capitan. This was made possible thanks to the Split View mode. In order to switch to this mode, it is necessary to hold down the green button of the full-screen mode located in the upper left corner of the screen, as a result of which the window will be minimized, and it can be dragged and docked on the left or right side of the screen.

After that, you need to select another window or application and click on it to attach to the opposite side. When using this mode, the OS X launcher and menus are hidden, which allows you not to be distracted by third-party trifles and get a larger workspace.

Thanks to the vertical line between the windows, you can effortlessly change the width of the windows, as well as their position. This format will be extremely convenient, for example, if you want to simultaneously monitor the progress of a sports game and at the same time continue to do your work / other business.

9. Create annotations for PDF-files and pictures

The Preview program has an excellent set of tools that makes it easy to annotate pictures and PDFs. And, most importantly, the annotations added by this program use standards that are compatible with the Adobe Acrobat PDF application. This application is widely used by companies and Windows users, so it is extremely easy to share annotated documents with colleagues.

Make sure the Toolbar is visible before annotating (otherwise fix it in the View menu). Thanks to this panel, you can draw various shapes, arrows, comic clouds and clouds of thoughts. In addition, you can highlight text with different colors, add strikethrough text, notes, and various types of text boxes.

10. Adding your signature to the required documents

In OS X 10.7, thanks to the "Preview" program, it became possible to add your signature to a document. To do this, launch the program and go to the "Signatures" tab in the "Settings" section, then click on the "+" or on the "Create a new signature" option. Then take a small piece of white paper and write your signature on it in black pen. Present a piece of paper with your signature to the webcam. As soon as you are satisfied with the result in the preview window, click the "Accept" button. If you want to use this signature in the future, make sure you save it.

Now open the document where you want to insert this signature, go to the toolbar and select the signature icon - it looks like an italic x S with a small dash below. Select the location where you want to insert the signature. Once you insert it, you can scale and move your autograph.

11. Image editing

In our opinion, "Preview" is one of the most underrated Mac programs. Especially it concerns latest versions OS X, in which it received a huge number of great features. In fact, with the help of this program you can do a lot of things for which we are used to using more complex and expensive applications like Photoshop. Just try opening a picture in this program and see what a wide range of image editing tools it offers.

For example, you can crop a picture. To do this, press the "Select Rectangle" button and use it to select the area that you want to save. Then press Command + K or click on the "Crop" button in the "Toolbar". There you can also find more complex and interesting options, such as, for example, the Instant Alpha tool, which allows you to select and remove the background or other object of the image, as well as Smart Lasso, which allows you to extract an image.

If you have multiple Apple devices (such as a Mac at home and at work, Mac and iPhone, or multiple iOS devices), turn on iCloud Keychain. This will allow you to synchronize on all your devices the logins and passwords that you enter in the browser, information about credit cards and Wi-Fi connections.

This means that if you, for example, save the password and login of a site on your iPad, then you can quickly enter this site from your Mac. Or, save your credit card details on your Mac and use them safely on your iPhone. Using this function may seem a little difficult at first glance, but the benefits that it will bring to you later is definitely worth the time and effort.

13. Create hotkeys for any required function

Keyboard shortcuts are incredible time-savers, but you don't have to settle for just the options your Mac was designed with. If there is any menu option that you constantly use and for which there is no ready-made keyboard shortcut, you can always set this shortcut yourself.

Select the "System Preferences" menu item, click "Keyboard", then select the "Keyboard shortcuts" section. Click "+" to add a new combination and select an application from the list that appears. However, you must know exactly the name of the menu command, which you will need to enter in the next step. And finally, select the previously unused keyboard shortcut that will open the application you need, then just click "Add".

14. Using Automator to Do More With Less Effort

Automator is a program built into OS X that allows you to create a series of standard actions that you can run without your input and make complex tasks easier. In this program, you can create small applications that will store the script of the ready-made action, or add the necessary actions to an existing application as a service - in this case, you can access the functions by right-clicking. With Automator, you can simultaneously rename a large number of files, convert images to another file format, convert text documents to audio files, and much more.

To get started in the program, open it, and then select the type of document that you would like to create. Each type is used for different purposes, so click on all of them in turn for a short description. Choose the option that suits you best and click the "Select" button.
Start adding elements of your future operation one by one by dragging the available actions from the left side of the screen to the right side, where the process area is. The actions available are based on the app's flavor and file type - just click on an action you're interested in to see what it is responsible for.
After you add all the necessary actions to your operation, you can try to start the service you created by clicking on the "Run" button in the upper right corner. If you identify any inaccuracies that interfere with the task, the program will highlight in red the part where the problem has occurred.

15. Quick import of pictures using "Image Capture"

While you can import photos from your iPhone manually, it's easier to do this with the Image Capture program. This feature has been available in Mac OS for quite some time, but, as a rule, many users who are just switching to Mac do not know about it. Thanks to this program, you can directly transfer all the photos taken with your camera at the same time to the folder of your choice. Or, even more convenient, view photos one after another on your computer and immediately delete the originals from iPhone in the event that you no longer need them.

Alternatively, you can connect to the scanner by wireless network and transfer scanned documents and photos to a directory of your choice. You can also link your camera to any Mac OS application. Therefore, you can customize Image Capture so that a specific program, such as Photoshop, opens every time you connect your iPhone.

Every Mac is packed with technology to help students with special needs experience the power and simplicity of OS X. Features like Voice Guidance, FaceTime, and Photo Booth help any student get the most out of their Mac.

Mac includes features to help students with cognitive impairments focus, organize, and learn in the way they want.

Convert text to speech

We all absorb information in different ways. It is easier for someone to learn if several channels of perception are involved at once. With Text-to-Speech, students can hear a word, or even an entire paragraph, as they see it on the screen. Choose the voice Alex (this is the voice of the Mac computer) or any other voice: male or female. Students can also adjust their speech rate and choose from over 20 built-in languages.

Dictionary

When reading a new text or studying a new subject, we often come across unfamiliar words. In the Dictionary app, students can quickly view definitions and synonyms even without an Internet connection. It helps to master grammar, spelling and pronunciation.

Word completion

OS X word completion helps students with dyslexia, cognitive impairments and language learners expand their vocabulary and develop their word formation skills. Just enter a few letters and press the Escape key - OS X will offer suggestions for completing the word. Students can view a list of words starting with certain letters and select the one they want. This feature will help reinforce the correct use of words and make learning spelling fun.

Add to iTunes as Voice Track

Add to iTunes as Voice Track converts text to speech and downloads the resulting files to any iOS device. Students who understand the text better by ear can listen to the assignments at any convenient time. And because this feature is built into the operating system, creating a file requires just three simple steps - educators don't have to waste valuable time recording audio files.

Photo booth

Photo Booth allows students to take photos and create short videos - another convenient way to communicate. Those who find it difficult to communicate with people, such as answering direct questions, may find it easier to engage in conversation if they see their face on the screen of the device. Photo Booth works in conjunction with the built-in FaceTime HD camera, so images and videos appear on the screen as you shoot. Students can record a short video with one click and send it to a friend with a second. Psychologists can use Photo Booth to shape speech behavior, develop motor skills, and other therapies.

Calendar

In Calendar, students can set up pop-up reminders, for example, so they don't miss choir rehearsals or forget their math assignment. Alerts will help them keep track of their schedule and not miss anything.

Photos and iMovie

If students find it difficult to express their thoughts in text, Photos and iMovie will give them the opportunity to express themselves in multimedia materials. The digital camera and photography will make it possible to form into concrete visual images many aspects of teaching, traditionally focused on printed text. It will help students who have difficulty reading and those who are learning languages. Teachers can create photo albums to introduce students to different situations in life, develop necessary skills and teach behaviors.

With iMovie, students may find that making up visuals and sounds in a script or creating an entire movie is more fun than completing other speech development exercises. iMovie will also help you develop object distribution skills, visual-spatial thinking and imagination. Photos and iMovie come standard with every new Mac.

Spotlight

File systems can seem complex, so Spotlight can help students find assignments, messages, and files quickly. This is an instant search technology built into OS X. As soon as students start typing a query in the Spotlight search box, results appear instantly. Spotlight not only finds files, folders, documents, but also contacts, calendars, apps, and even dictionary entries. Students can also search other computers on the network, making it easy to share projects or work in the classroom.

Facetime

FaceTime can be a real pass to the classroom. This feature allows students who are in the hospital or studying at home to communicate with classmates. And the psychologist will be able to observe the learning without interfering with the lesson. Its high video quality and high sampling rate make FaceTime ideal for communicating in sign language, which, along with facial expressions, is rendered very clearly. FaceTime is standard on Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, so students can use it to communicate with anyone on OS X and iOS. *

Speech

Students who find it difficult to communicate verbally can benefit from the accessibility features in OS X. FaceTime provides the ability to communicate visually through sign language, gesture, and facial expressions. * iMessage allows you to discuss homework with classmates using text messages. And the Text-to-Speech feature reads the text and helps you develop speech. This feature can even communicate with the interlocutors instead of the student by pronouncing the words that he or she is entering.

Increase

The built-in zoom function allows you to enlarge all objects on the screen up to 20 times. The function works in two modes: Full Screen and picture-in-picture. In the second case, the enlarged area is displayed in a separate window, and the rest of the screen remains the same size. This helps students read an essay, see a diagram, or examine objects on a map. You can enable the feature in a variety of ways, from keyboard shortcuts to trackpad gestures. Zoom works with VoiceOver so students can better see and hear what's happening on the screen.

Invert colors

If the high contrast helps the student see the OS X screen better, then it can be adjusted accordingly. You can invert the colors, increase or decrease the contrast, switch to black and white. Color settings are applied system-wide, so all applications will look the same.

Braille Displays for OS X

Mac supports over 40 refreshable braille displays that connect via USB or Bluetooth. The display can be connected and used immediately without installing an additional software... Multiple braille displays can be connected to a single Mac so multiple students can follow the lesson. Learn more about braille displays compatible with OS X

Students with hearing impairments can enjoy all the benefits of a Mac. FaceTime and iMessage make it easy to interact with classmates and teachers, while subtitles help you watch videos and improve the quality of the classroom.

Facetime

Its high video quality and high sampling rate make FaceTime ideal for communicating in sign language, which, along with facial expressions, is rendered very clearly. FaceTime is standard on Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch so students can interact with other OS X and iOS users wherever they are: in a nearby classroom or on another continent. It's like they're talking face-to-face. *

Closed captioning

Closed captioning helps those who rely only on sight for their studies to perceive information. Subtitles appear on the screen as crisp white text on a black background. OS X supports closed captioning as well as open captioning and captioning in a variety of educational materials, from podcasts to iTunes U courses.

Messages from iMessage

Messages are an ideal way of communication between people who have good hearing and people who are hearing impaired. In such situations, printed text becomes the fastest and most versatile way to communicate. Students can ask for help with homework or receive newsletters to keep abreast of group projects. The high quality video and high frame rate make Messages ideal for learners using sign language video services such as HOVRS.com. They can clearly see the movements of the fingers and hands of all participants in the conversation, and also communicate even at a great distance, without losing the emotions of the interlocutor, as if they are in the same room. Messages support work with AIM (the largest exchange network instant messaging in the US), Google Talk and Jabber.

Mono audio

Stereo recordings usually have separate audio tracks for the left and right channels. If a student has difficulty hearing in one ear, he may miss some information from one channel. In OS X, you can play both channels in both headphones at the same time. Students can adjust the volume balance of each earbud so they don't miss a beat from a lecture, video, or favorite music track.

GarageBand

GarageBand can improve the listening experience for students who are deaf and hard of hearing - especially for those new to cochlear implants. Teachers can create speaking podcasts and download them to Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Students can use these recordings to learn intonation and distinguish between voices. GarageBand is installed on every new Mac. It's great for correcting speech defects, learning tonal languages such as Chinese, and explaining loudness to deaf children using audio waveforms.

For students who have difficulty using the keyboard, mouse, or trackpad, OS X has technologies that make it easier to press keys and perform gestures. Students can also benefit from speech-to-text conversion.

Multi-Touch trackpad

The Multi-Touch trackpad is built into every Mac laptop. And for desktop computers, the Magic Trackpad is designed. These trackpads let you control your Mac using gestures such as tap, swipe, swipe, pinch, and pinch out. Carefully designed Multi-Touch gestures provide the most natural and intuitive way to control everything that happens on the screen, including magnifying text and objects.

Slow keys

The Slow Keys feature allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the keyboard so that the computer only responds to the keys that the student presses on purpose. This function creates a delay between pressing a key and entering a character. Students can choose the length of the delay and have a beep to indicate that they have pressed a key.

Sticky Keys

Sticky Keys are available for students who find it difficult to press multiple keys at the same time. It allows you to press the keyboard shortcuts one at a time. For example, you can press the Command key and then the S key to save the object. OS X provides a beep at each click so students can make sure they are typing in the correct sequence.

Keyboard shortcuts

Using keyboard shortcuts, students can quickly complete various tasks, such as taking screenshots (Command-Shift-4) or magnifying images (Command-Option- +), without ever touching the mouse or opening a menu. In addition to many predefined keyboard shortcuts, you can use your own keyboard shortcuts. You can create keyboard shortcuts for the entire system or for specific applications.

Automator

Complex repetitive tasks such as renaming files or resizing images can be confusing for students who find it difficult to use a mouse or keyboard. Automator allows you to simplify such actions to one click. Students tell Automator what to do and in what order by simply dragging and dropping them into the process. Automator then completes the task in this sequence. Automator can also save activities for future use.

iOS for special forms of education

Students with special needs can use the full functionality of the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
More details

OS X works slightly differently from Microsoft Windows, so new Mac users have some difficulty in replacing a Redmond-based computer. If in the USA and Europe people start acquaintance with computers with both PCs and Macs, then in our country and the CIS there is no particular alternative. There is a 99% chance that the first computer experience will be Windows. Relearning, as you know, is much more difficult than learning again, but following our simple advice, you can reduce all the difficulties of the transition to a minimum.

Installing and uninstalling applications

Your first search query in Safari is likely to be "How do I install software on my Mac?" This simple operation which you will inevitably encounter is radically different from that in the OS from Microsoft. And what's noteworthy is that installing the application will take less time than you spend on a search query.

Most of the programs are distributed in dmg-archives (images) and are installed in just a couple of clicks:

open the downloaded .dmg file (it will be visible in Finder as a removable disk);
drag the directory with the application to the system folder "Programs";
the application will appear on Launchpad in a couple of seconds ("pinch" to open) and will be immediately ready to work;
now you can extract the image with the distribution in the Finder sidebar and delete the .dmg file;

You can install the application from the .dmg file to any folder convenient for you, but then the program icon will not appear in Launchpad. Therefore, I recommend using the "Programs" folder, especially since it is intended for this.

Some applications have their own installer and are installed through it. In this case, you will see a dialog box with buttons "Accept", "Next", "Install" (hello Windows!).

Starting with version 10.7, OS X introduced the Mac App Store, similar to the App Store on iOS. It is even easier to work with it, for installation - just click the "Install" button on the page with the application.

By analogy with installation, uninstalling an application consists in removing it from the Applications folder. We drag the catalog with the application to the "Trash" - and it's done. If the program has its own installer, then uninstallation occurs through it too.

Interaction with windows. Close or collapse?

Windows users are shocked at first: not only are the window control buttons on the left, but they also work differently. Indeed, the "x" button does not close the program, it only closes its window. This is due to the fact that in OS X applications can have several windows and after we have closed the window the program continues to work. The "+" button does not maximize the window to full screen, but scales it to fit the displayed content.

In order to completely terminate the application, press "Cmd + Q" or right-click on the icon in the dock and select "Finish".

It is convenient to monitor running programs using the indicator in the dock. This function is enabled in the system settings, in the "Dock" section.

Also, since version 10.7, OS X applications can run in full screen mode, when the dock and menu bar are hidden. To activate this mode, you need to click the arrow icon in the upper right corner of the screen.

Using multitouch gestures

One of the main features of OS X is its support for multi-touch gestures. There are a lot of them here (I counted more than 10 gestures), and most importantly, thanks to the wonderful trackpad, they work just gorgeous.

We open system settings and go to the "Trackpad" ("Mouse") section, turn on the necessary gestures and watch a demonstration of their work. In addition to banal imitation right button mouse, scrolling and dragging windows, with the help of gestures, we can: search the selected word; rotate, scale images; open Launchpad, Mission Control, Action Center.

Spending a few minutes learning about gestures will make your work in OS X more productive and much more enjoyable.

Useful Fn Key Functions

The Fn button provides quick access to many of the system's functions. Here are some useful shortcuts:

Fn + Ctrl + F2 allows you to navigate menus without using a mouse;
Fn + Backspace replaces the Delete button;
Fn + F11 show desktop;
Fn + Up Arrow replaces the Page Up button;
Fn + down arrow replaces the Page down button;
Fn + Left Arrow replaces the Home button;
Fn + right arrow replaces the End button;

These shortcuts are very easy to remember and I recommend using them in your daily work. By the way, there is a tiny utility called CheatSheet that will help you remember and use all the abbreviations available. After installation, it is integrated into the system and when you press the "Cmd" key displays a complete list of abbreviations available in the open application.

Add applications to "Startup"

During installation, some applications are immediately added to the list of programs that will be automatically loaded at system startup. You can edit this list at your discretion, for more fine-tuning for yourself.

Open "Settings" - "Users and groups" and on the "Login objects" tab edit the list using the "+" and "-" buttons. On older macs, it makes sense to remove unnecessary elements, this will speed up the system boot.

Detailed information about your Mac

In a Windows environment, to get full information on the "hardware" of the computer, you have to use third-party utilities, such as AIDA 64. The operating system from Apple, in this regard, compares favorably with the competitor. OS X includes the System Information utility, which gives us a detailed report of absolutely all hardware and software. Here we can see the processor frequency, the number of slots and the type of memory, the wifi and bluetooth mac-address, as well as many other service information.

You can find System Information in the Utilities folder on Launchpad or by clicking the Apple icon in the menu bar and choosing About This Mac.

Quick view of files

My favorite built-in feature in OS X is View. In the Finder, on any file or folder, pressing the spacebar will open a Quick View window. All file types known to the system are supported: images, videos, documents. The viewing window is closed by pressing the space bar again. Fast, simple and convenient.

Force Quit Applications

It happens that programs stop responding or, more simply, freeze. For example, you have opened a large number of tabs in Chrome or launched several "heavy" applications. Windows users are familiar with the "Ctrl + Alt + Delete" shortcut, which they regularly use. In OS X, to call the application completion dialog, you need to press "Command + Option + Esc", here we select the frozen program and click "Finish".

This rarely happens on Mac OS, but if it does, you will know what to do.

We include support for all video formats

The built-in QuickTime supports the main video formats and is enough for the needs of most users. But if you are the owner of an assorted video collection, you will have to expand the list of supported formats. This can be done using the Perian Codec Pack or by installing a third-party media player such as VLC. Both solutions are free.

Don't forget to make backups

The last piece of advice, trite and hackneyed, which is nevertheless constantly neglected. To keep your data completely safe, use a backup, and regularly make backups using Time Machine. This will also allow you to experiment with the system without fear, which will be inevitable at first.

MacBook is not only Apple's ever-fashionable laptop, but also countless functionalities ...

Indeed, the MacBook is a real dream! Someone dreams of a MacBook in order to get a stylish "little thing" with such an attractive apple from Apple, and someone (and such a majority) is striving to get ownership of a set of design and functional characteristics that I do not know of any equal.
